Chaos Devourer System - Chapter 166

Chapter 166: Conversation With A Morpher
“You can have the remaining day for free.”

Zeras waited a few minutes for Annalise to go on but he was surprised when he saw her blowing another huge gum balloon, a sign that meant the conversation has ended.

“Um is that all”

“Yes. What other thing were you expecting…” Annalise said with a raised eyebrow as she diverted her gaze from him and continued working on her creation.

“Finally, with this great amount of purity, I should finally be able to create the simdial potion. Good luck Zeras and rest well,” Aurelia said as she quickly disappeared into the potion hall.

“Well, Great. Now I’m free.” Zeras said with a disappointed expression as he stood there in the middle of the lab.

“Tch, like there’s any meaning in being free, if you all are busy…”

“Well, I’m not…” The voice suddenly rang out from beneath Zeras feet as Zeras raised an eyebrow before staring down at his feet where a puddle of gooish liquid could be seen.

“Is that some kind of strange behavioral pattern of you Morphers, Evan?” Zeras asked as he looked at the liquid which soon congealed and a blue human was soon beside him resting one of his hands on his shoulder.

“What pattern?” Evan asked curiously.

“You appearing first beneath people’s feet.”

“Nah, I just do it to surprise amateurs…” Evan said with a smile.

“And also to show off as they’ll think you’re one amazing thing from being able to morph from a liquid to a human…” Egon’s voice rang out from the side as Evan scrubbed his head with a smile.

“Well, I heard you’re free Zeras. And me too I’m also free. Then since we’re both free, why don’t we go on a nice little expedition to enjoy our free time…” Evan said as Zeras clapped his hand on his forehead.

All manner of the strange blue alien, he had developed a secret liking to, was very strange, even to the mode of speech.

“An expedition? I like the sound of that…” Zeras said as they both exited the lab going to somewhere unknown.

“Hey Annalise, don’t you think Evan and Zeras go pretty well…” Egon said looking at the closed door of the exit.

“Shut up, Egon. You’ve spent an entire week on that stupid mysterious creation of yours. When will you be done?” Annapolis replied not raising her head from what she was doing.

“Ah, fine, fine.” Egon conceded working on the strange rectangular box.

BOOOM

A small ball rolled with speed landing on the table and bouncing up back but before it could land back, a paddle slammed on it sending it flying to the other table, before it got sent flying back once again.

Yeah, it’s Table Tennis.

Zeras was at first shocked this was the so-called expedition that Evan was talking about.

He was at first disappointed, but seeing how the others played the game, it became pretty interesting and Zeras developed a liking for it.

Much to the help of Evan, he fully understands how to play the game in less than 30 minutes.

“So Evan, can I ask you a few things…” Zeras said slamming his paddle on the ball as it spinned I’m the air in a hemisphere landing at the edge of the table but Evan still managed to send it back to him with ease revealing just how good the gooish alien was in the game.

“Yes, ask away…” Evan said completely embroiled in the game.

“Ok, I just want to ask, how your racial ability works. Just how do you manage to morph yourself and also do that quickly too…” Zeras said as he sent the ball reeling back towards Evan once again.

“Well, that’s because we Morphers are made of goo. Our shape and body are completely formless even to the molecular level so we can simply rearrange our cell and body, easily changing our form…” Evan replied as he once again sent the ball reeling back towards Zeras from a tricky angle but Zeras still managed to pick it up.

“Hahaha, I’m sure it’s more complicated than that…”

“Of course it is. Changing our body to resemble others has many limitations, and the greater a morpher talent, the easier it is to bypass these limitations…” Evan replied.

“You Morphers sound like a very interesting race, care to tell what those limitations are?”

Evan’s eyes opened wide like saucers. This was tej first time Someone ever showed interest in his race, he was also enjoying the game they were playing so it completely let loose his other side, his lecturing side.

“Hmm, well limitations are based on talent but the most remarkable of all limitations are just three.

The first is great awareness of the form we want to shift into. Like if I want to change into a fly, I must first know just what are the parts of a fly down to the cellular level. Only knowing that would I be able to change my cell to replicate exactly that.

Believe me, it’s very hard watching every single pattern of the fly, something that must be done for a perfect imitation.

But once I get it, then it will get forever ingrained in my memory and I can change to it in a blink.

To become a human like I currently am. I had to find the corpse of a human and then latch onto it in my goo form to learn of the way the cells are arranged before I could now take all the shapes of humans by just making slight modifications.

Watch…” Zeras looked at Evan as he saw his face change resembling his.

“Wow, that’s amazing…” Zeras said out loud.

“Yes of course it is. The second limitation is what we’re made off, the goo. No matter what I change into, the goo is a headache as I’ll still be color blue. We can change into anything so far we can perfectly study it to the cellular level, but we can’t change the color, we will still be color blue…” Evan said as Zeras gave a nod.

He had truly observed even when Evan became a fly, he was still a color blue fly and right now a color blue human, which could easily reveal what he truly is. It was truly a great headache and a limitation.

“The third limitation happens to the older Morphers and that is personality changes. When we morph our goo into a different form. We copy almost everything, even the personality. Staying in a particular form for too long will lead to us developing a very great relation to that thing and will make returning to our goo form pretty difficult and in some extreme cases, impossible.

That’s why in the lab, I always return to my goo form once I don’t need any shape. It’s so I don’t get too much of a familiarity with a particular form.

This is perhaps the greatest limitation of Morphers as the more you remain in a form, the harder it is to revert to your form as your cell tells you this is what you’re. Your brain will slowly let go of your true self and you will come to believe this is you, which is not…”

‘Hmm, personality changes?’ Zeras thought to himself.
