Chapter 64 Abomination Nest

[Asshole…] She mumbled.

[I could let you experience how I invade your asshole if you want.] He liked being crass with her. She was really open about everything and he usually made such jokes with her.

[Damn it, Alex, it's a serious situation.] She clenched her butt after Alex's joke. She knew that she didn't have any semblance of privacy when it came to him and he could really do whatever he wanted to her body whenever he wanted.

She just ignored it most of the time since otherwise she would always be conscious about it.

[Anal is just as serious to me.] He said in a solemn tone. Laura was fed up and didn't say another word to him after that.

After a minute of thick silence, "Pfft…" Laura laughed.

[There's my crass host that loves my weird shit.] Alex said to her.

[Whatever…] She said while shaking her head, [Where's this location that you're talking about?] She asked. She'd been moving stealthily and felt like she'd covered a mile in the direction that he mentioned.

[You're looking at it…] He told her.

[What?] She was confused, [Some kind of camouflage?] She asked.

[Something much better…] Alex told her as he cycled through the different types of visions that he could emulate. In every single version of those visions, nothing came up in front of Alex.

But he could distinctly feel the life forces of each of the abominations in the 'nest' as he swiped the location using his Mana Sense.

[Laura, I'm going to try something.] Alex decided to try to give Laura something similar to Mana Sense by pouring trickles of mana into her eyes.

[Okay… Hey! It's itchy…] Laura brought her hands to her eyes as she felt them itching.

[Don't.] Alex held her arms down.

[What are you doing, Alex…] Laura was feeling very uncomfortable with whatever Alex was doing.

'I guess I'll have to increase the bond level to extend to her eyes do this without letting her feel uncomfortable like this…' Alex thought as he stopped pouring mana into her eyes after he felt that she should be able to see differently.

[It's done. Open your eyes.] He told her after a few more seconds.

Laura fluttered her now bluish-green eyes open and was greeted with a wholly different sight.

Instead of the same wasteland that she'd gotten used to seeing, she saw a bloody wall in front of her. Looking around, she realized that it was a dome that was surrounded by completely red walls.

[What the hell am I seeing?] She asked Alex in her head.

[That's blood. Human blood to be precise.] He told her the eeriest fact about the wall in front of her.

[What!] She was just about to touch the wall, wanting to get a feel of what it was when she heard Alex's words. She abruptly pulled her hand back.

[Yep. Can you see through the blood dome?] He asked. He wanted to know the limits of the mana-infused eyes.

[No…] She told him.

[Makes sense. I'd have to pour in quite a bit of that energy to increase the capabilities of your eyes even further.]

A minute later, the bluish-green tint in her eyes disappeared, leaving the usual deep green color of her eyes.

[It's disappeared again.] She told him as her view changed from the visible blood dome to the same wasteland.

[It was only a temporary enhancement anyway. I'll have to constantly infuse the energy into your eyes to make it work…]

[Didn't you tell me that you can infuse my body with energy to strengthen me?] Laura seemed to have gotten confused between the different energies that Alex used.

[You're thinking about the Pure Biological Energy that I get from dissolving the abominations. I call it EP for short. I infused a different type of energy into your eyes to enhance them right now. That's why you felt so uncomfortable during the infusion process. EP infusion is going to be pleasurable all the way.] He clarified for her.

[What energy did you infuse into my eyes?] She asked.

[Mana. Magical energy. It's the only energy that these abominations can't resist.] He told her.

[Like Doctor Strange?] She asked.

[More like the Scarlet Witch.] He asked. This version of Earth wasn't ever shown in the comics so he had little to no information about this Earth.

[Wanda?] She asked.

[Kinda like her. Did you know her?] He asked.

[No, but I met her father, Magneto, once. The fucker bent my claws with his magnet powers. It was painful as hell…] She said.

[Ahh…] Alex didn't know what to say, 'I guess all Magnetos have some beef with the Wolverines…' He thought.

[We've gotten off track. Yes, it's mana like that. I can infuse it with your skin without letting you feel any irritation but your eyes are a no-go.] He told her.

[Why my skin?] She asked.

[If you remember, I've bonded with each and every single cell of your skin. It allows me to better work with your skin, but your eyes are separate and I can't do anything about the resistance to the external energy infusion. That resistance is the reason behind your uncomfortable itching.] He told her.

Laura looked to be deep in thought.

[So, what now?] She asked.

[We could either infiltrate this blood dome right now. Or do it sometime later when we're stronger. What do you say?] He asked for her opinion.

[I want to infiltrate it, right now… But I'm too weak to do anything to these guys. I can't even fight against ‹Buff Grunt Class› ones. Let alone an entire nest.] Laura knew her limits.

[I agree. We can retreat for now and come back when we actually have the power to fight against them.] Alex agreed with Laura.

He didn't tell her but this nest had beings far more powerful than the ‹Buff Grunt Class› abominations.

Separate from the four humanoid types that he'd classified, he'd felt another kind of abomination, animalistic.

‹Animal Class›:: Animals transformed into abominations that take the shape of that animal and enhance their capabilities to monstrous levels. Strength and capabilities depend on the power of the animal that the abomination is transformed from.

Lastly, he felt the aura of a being that seemed to be able to command the other abominations.

‹Leader Class ???›:: ???

He didn't have any information about it and didn't even know if there were different kinds of ‹Leader Class› abominations.

'My information about these beings is lacking… If only the abominations that I devoured had any memories other than their instincts…' Alex lamented his lack of information about the abominations.

[Let's get back to hunting lone abominations. When we go back to the base, I'll infuse EP into your physique so that your physical stats can be enhanced.] He told Laura and pointed in the direction of another abomination.

Something that both Laura and Alex were ignorant about was a pair of eyes homed in on Laura's figure from the center of the Nest.

The being that was spawning new abominations was a living entity unlike what Alex assumed. And it had its eyes on Laura.

…

In Earth-65, Ghost-Spider's Earth, it had been about a week since Alex punished Gwen for her mistake by giving her the piercings.

He'd distinctly noticed the difference in her sensitivity after she got the piercings and he was enjoying his time with her quite a bit.

Her college was going peacefully while she'd taken a break from her usual Spider-Woman gig. She still showed herself to the public as Spider-Woman every once in a while, but it was just a symbolic thing. She just swung around for a few minutes and that was it.

At the same time, Harry Osborn had also disappeared from the map. After that one talk with Gwen, she hadn't run into him again.

She presumed that he was busy tracking down 'Spider-Woman'.

[So you're telling me that you once had a whole multiversal adventure where you met your counterparts in an event called the Secret Wars?] Alex asked with an incredulous tone as Gwen walked back home from the warehouse after training with Alex. He wasn't surprised by what she was telling him since he knew the story, but he had to act the part. She didn't know that he was already aware of quite a large part of her story.

[Yeah. I've experienced two multiversal events like that actually. The other was even before Secret Wars, it was a great hunt where a bad guy was hunting down all of the Spider-Totems in the universe.] She informed him expecting him to ask her about Spider-Totems.

[Spider-Totems?] He asked. He knew about it but he understood that she wanted to show off to him how amazing of an adventure she had so he decided to indulge her.

[I guess I should start from the beginning. There is the concept of a thing called the Web of Life and Destiny. It is basically the glue that holds the structure of the multiverse together. It's also the thing from which all the spider people in the multiverse derive their powers. That's why we are connected to the 'totems' of that Web of Life and Destiny. We can also be sort of called the totems.] She told Alex.

[I see. So that means that the powers that I've detected in your genome are actually all derived from the Web of Life and Destiny?] Alex played his part.
