Chapter 1075: Athena finds food In Hell?
A smell that made all the cells of her sensitive body alert in recognition of potential energy source. The best part was the fact that it came from behind her.
She instinctively turned to see what it was, after all, all the cells within her body was screaming for her to rush for the source of potential energy, and then she saw it.
It was coming from the behind of of one of the baby Hell beasts.
Yes, it was its shit.
Molded into a reddish paste, the droppings fell from the hell beast.
The sight of it would have been disgusting any normal person, but no normal person had suffered like her, bordering on the eve of actual death.
She moved closer to it. In truth, she wished she didn’t have to do it. But the energy within the shit was so bright her cells seemed like they would break off from her body and rush to it.
It was said that every part of a hell beast was a treasure and the only true problem with them was finding what use each part had.
It was the reason that Demons even though they left Hell for greener pastures, still tried to mobilize these incredible creatures to be used for wars and even domination of territories.
the best part wa sthat they could be used for hundreds of years and would only need to be fed once in a while depending on age, using souls.
After all, for most of them, it was their primary source of food.
Athena moved closer. She knew that she could not be picky, and wasting time to think about what she was about to do was only going to prolong her mental suffering.
Steeling her mind, she dug a hand into the pile of red glowing poop, and then, she immediately stuffed it into her mouth.
The taste was awful at first, but there was a tang of honey sweetness at the end, almost like how honey could first taste bitter before it became sweet.
She could not help but frown at herself, wanting to spit it out, but the cells of her body forbid such an atrocity.
The moment she swallowed, energy from the hell beast rushed into her body. It was as if she had just swallowed a mini sun as she fell on the ground, rolling around in incredible pain.
However, this pain that she felt was not in the fact that the shit hurt her. It was instead in the fact that her cells felt so good from the rush of energy flowing into them that some of them actually raptured.
Hell beasts could go a long time without food and only fed in a while, thus, when they fed, they did so a lot.
Meaning she was quite fortunate to have met this mother and kids when they were going for a breakfast that could last them several years.
Regardless of the pain from her body, she could tell that the one hand full she had eaten was not going to be enough.
And so she dug deeper. sticking her entire face into the pile of red hot shit and ate greedily.
And then came the screams as she lay and rolled on the ground. Then again, this place was field with souls all screaming in their torment. No one would hear her, and even if they did, no one would help her. This was Hell, the land of true eternal suffering.
Screaming in pain in this place was the same thing as birds singing beautiful songs in the morning.
Her pain and agony went on for days on end through out which, she could no longer scream at a point. The worse part was that she could not even pass out if she wanted to.
Every time she tried to block it out, her cells would wake her up.
However, even more annoying was the fact that because of her hypersensitivity, she could sense the pain of cells at a near cellular level of discomfort.
Yet, at the same time, she could sense their reconstruction. She could feel it as they broke themselves apart and then put themselves together again.
She could sense as worn out cells were being repaired, at the same time, she could sense that the cells were willing to heal parts of her that had been hurt and eaten, but needed her permission, as if they was a limiter and it was her mind.
And so she gave her permission, and the most incredible thing happened. Her skin that had been peeled out was immediately healed, and this, regardless of the pain actually brought a kind of joy to her.
But then something unimaginable happened. after healing her arm, the cells did not stop growing, consuming energy to create extra limbs growing out of that arm.
Immediately, she tried to stop them, but they did not listen to her, the limiter had been removed and they continued growing. Regardless of the pain, she had to rise to her feet and smash that part of her body on the hard ground, crushing it against the sharp parts of a stone on the side.
Of course she felt the pai of doing this. But it was only then that the cells listened and stopped as a result of the pain due to loss.
She instantly understood why there was a limiter in the heads of normal people when it came to healing or regenerating of a lost limb. It was better to have lost a limb than to transform into some kind of freak.
Now that part of her hand looked awful, with an extra pair of four digits sticking out.
This time around, she agreed to allow it heal slowly. At the same time she could not help but wonder what made Lenny capable of healing so efficiently. After all, she had seen him with incredibly deadly wounds and his cells would just mend back.
She had initially thought that he had maybe a reptilian parent but after seeing his mother and the possible abilities he had she did not think so.
All of a sudden, she frowned. She could not believe that she was in this shit hole and that was what she was thinking about.
Then again, she could recognize why it was so. Her mind had gotten relief from the constant hunger gnawing at the back of her head and now that she was filled with energy once more, all she felt was relief.
At such a time, she noticed that the shit of the hell beast on the ground was dissolving into the earth.
she looked around and it was the same thing everywhere. Even though the earth was obviously as hard as stone, it was somehow soaking it all up like a sponge of some kind.
"NO! NO!! NO!!!" She thought to herself as she looked around. After all, for her, this was currently food that was going to waste.
She was not aware of how the anatomy of a hell beast worked, but she also did not know if she would get such source of food ever again.
Starving for days in this place was not a memory that she wanted to visit again.
She hurriedly looked around the place. A distance ahead was a pile of Hell beast shit. This one was from the mother. It was much larger than all the others and dissolved slower into the ground. She immediately kicked against the ground, rushing over to reach it.
However, it was a strenuous trip. She had been lying on the ground for so long that sprinting was a bit more difficult than she had thought that it would be.
But she still gave it her all, pushing as hard as she could, until she finally reached it.
But by then, only a little of it was remaining. Immediately, she scooped it with her palms, placing it within a pouch. Unfortunately, she only got two palm full before it was gone.
And then she noticed that the mother Hell beast was walking away, and her kids were following her. She immediately hurried after them, climbing unto the back of one of the baby hell beast.
The mother Hell beast saw this but did not mind and continued tp move forward.
Athena was relieved by this.
After all, she was now sure that these beasts ruled the food chain in this place.
At least for now, she was safe, and who knows, maybe she would next attempt how to find a way out of here. As these hopeful thoughts swarm in her head like fishes swimming freely within the sea, she slowly drifted into sleep.
However, she did not notice that far away in the distance was the devil that had tortured her and lost a hand.
At the moment, it was pointing in her direction as if showing someone, marking her existence.
