Chapter 575: Earth: Nanomachines, Son.

-----

The spear-like tentacle reached Chris, piercing through his body!

However, as he had moved in time and began to fall downstairs, the spear tentacle only pierced his left shoulder, although the bone and all on it was broken down painfully, making him scream in pain.

Lucia gritted her teeth as she pointed her palm at the tentacle which was actually about to pierce through his chest this time, firing a large fireball at it!

BOOOM!

"GRYYYEEAAA…!"

The screech of a beast resonated from upstairs as the entire tentacle, catching fire, retreated back to its original body and then, I was suddenly sliced away as the sliced tentacle burned to a crisp!

CLASH!

Chris fell over the floor rather loudly, as the soldiers began to retreat while those that stayed in the frontlines began to bathe the tentacles that started to lurk downstairs with their explosive bullets, blowing them away into pieces. However, they continuously regenerated back, making it a nightmarish enemy to fight against.

"Chris! Are you okay?!" asked Lucia.

"Ugh… I am alive…" he muttered.

Lucia reached him as she inspected his wound, a large hole was made on his shoulder, the bone could be seen all broken down, and the blood was gushing out like a river, it had hit a large artery and ti was a miracle he was still hanging out.

In a few more seconds or minutes, he could quickly die out of ma.s.sive hemorragea.

"Quick, take out a thing in my left pocket…" he muttered.

Lucia nodded as she quickly looked into his pockets, finding out a strange metallic tube with the words "Nanomachine" in them.

"W-What is this?" asked Lucia in shock.

"An experimental healing item. Made out of Nanomachines no less, it is the perfect time to try this c.r.a.p… I am going to die out of bleeding either way." He muttered.

"What do I do?" she asked.

"It has a sharp stinger, quickly pierce my wound with it." he said.

"Okay…!"

Lucia quickly took out the top of the metallic tube, as a sharp stinger emerged out of it.

"When you pierce me… with it… press the b.u.t.ton above… it… Ungh…"

Chris began to feel dizzy, the loss of blood was too big, even if Lucia had tried to cover his wound, the amount of agony he was going through was too much, and the blood loss made him lose oxygen incredible fast, his brain was beginning to fade away with its thoughts, and he felt dizzy.

"Ungh!"

Lucia groaned as she forcefully pierced his shoulder with the metallic tube.

"Ngh…"

Chris groaned, as he gritted his teeth and looked fearlessly at Lucia.

"Don't dare die on me!" she roared as her blazing eyes seemed to pierce through the cold heart of Chris for a few moments…

"Lu… cia…"

Ba dump!

And suddenly, as the nanomachines began to flow through his body, something truly amusing began to happen.

They quickly began to merge with his own blood and flesh, replicating synthetic tissue and merging it with his own tissues.

The nanomachines continued to duplicate constantly as they absorbed leftover energy and tissue with necrosis, both feeding their own requirement for bioma.s.s and also cleaning the internal wounds.

He felt as if his heart began to beat faster and faster as the nanomachines not only reached his shoulder but also continued to spread all around his entire body.

His senses suddenly sharpened and he felt that for a single second he was able to feel every single thing around him…

"Ah… T-This…! Unngh… Uuuaaaaagggh…!"

And then, an agonizing pain reached his entire body as it was trying to adapt to the nanomachines, but they were being fought by the white cells as an invasive pathogen!

However, the nanomachines began to spread over his body, a.s.similating white cells and reaching the organs and areas of the body where the white cells were created, a.s.similating them slowly and making the white cells recognize the nanomachines as part of the body.

This process was quick, but it brough him the most agony out of all the steps.

Chris recalled what the scientists and engineers had said when they gave him this item.

"It is experimental. Only use it when you know you're about to die and there's no way out of it… I don't even know its true effects, we have only tested it on lab rats."

"Hmm… Won't this kill me even faster?" wondered Chris.

"Possibly. There were several rats that died after using it on them, they cannot bear the pain of the full a.s.similation… you see, white cells will fight against the nanomachines which will merge with your tissue, making them literally try to destroy you from the inside out. You have to endure such an agony until the nanomachines can spread into your organs that produce the white cells, making them aware that they're now part of your body…" said the scientist.

"I didn't understand half of it…" sighed Chris.

"Well, you're all muscle anyways, so don't worry over it. just think of it as a last suicidal attempt at surviving." Laughed the scientist, although Chris didn't take it so lightly.

Chris eyes opened wide as he felt like he was awakening something within him…

"Uuggh…!"

Meanwhile, the soldiers battled against the tentacles, which continued to be destroyed and regenerated constantly, their explosive bullets blew the tentacles into pieces, but that didn't seemed to matter if there were so many tentacles growing back up so quickly right after.

Chris looked at the scene as he felt a pain on his shoulder, the hole he had in there had already stopped bleeding, as synthetic tissue which was almost indistinguishable from normal one began to grow and fill everything, the bones themselves slowly stuck together and generated synthetic bone structure to stuck with each other once more, and then entire wound was healed in a few seconds.

"I am alive…? It actually… worked!" he muttered.

"Chris! You okay?" asked Lucia.

"Ahh… Hungry… f.u.c.k…"

But right after healing, Chris felt an incredible hunger.

The nanomachines exhausted most of his body energy reserves…
