The hivemind is conquering for me?

"You like that don't you?" I whispered, as I ran my finger down the length of her body. Zircon vibrated in my hand rhythmically, vibrating extra hard when I pushed my finger into her fuller, making sure my blade oil reached through all her nooks and crannies.

I felt a little bad for my sword, I haven't had much time to use her and the training I just did with her was therapeutic. All the pain I had been suffering from my decay washed away from my mind, leaving a clarity and peacefulness that would be useful as I start my enhancements.

Looking around the training equipment as I began wiping off the excess oil as Zircon was now looking a fine little piece. I noticed that the equipment I trained with before I left had sustained quite a large amount of damage.

I had not been using my full power and yet there were deep cuts into armour as thick as an enhanced freethinker. 'Did she get stronger somehow?' I thought, causing Zircon to stop vibrating in my hand.@@novelbin@@

According to Onyx, she is not supposed to reveal that her shadow had fully healed. Apollo was supposed to stumble upon it himself. As such, she stopped displaying her excitement at the rubdown and decided to act like a normal sword for a little while.

After fully cleaning Zircon up, She vanished and returned to my Mindspace. Walking over to the queen guard who had not moved the entire time I was training, I retrieved my towel to wipe off more sweat and the blade oil from my hands.

Leaving the towel behind once I was done, I made my way towards my lab. The queen guard lingered behind for a moment, most likely struggling to leave the room before following me. As I rounded a tunnel and made it to my lab, I was suddenly taken aback as something jumped towards me with no warning.

All of a sudden I was enveloped and fell over, but I did not care as I was cushioned and I felt extremely comfortable. "Oh my bed bug, how I have missed you! Blankets just don't compare to this." I said, closing my eyes, enjoying the warmth that enveloped my entire being.

"Wait a second, did you get bigger and even more cuddly?" I asked in a fuzzy overload, to which the bed bug tightened itself around me even more. "MMmh, I feel like I am being swaddled, this is nice."

I allowed the bedbug to devour me for five minutes before I said. "Ok, I need to work so I don't end up dying. After the enhancements are over, I will let you envelop me every night. Ok?" The bed bug squeezed me extra tight for a moment before releasing me. I then picked up the fuzzy Bio form and carried it over to my lab bed and placed it down gently.

After doing so, I moved over to my lab and activated my bio-pads, allowing me access to Jewel's processing power in a simple way. Immediately, all thoughts about everything not related to the task at hand vanished from my mind as I went into full science mode.

'Start by quickly checking the results of the last enhancement to what Jewel has currently done to stabalise me.' I thought as I began to run a series of tests. I drew some blood and fed it to the machine and while I was waiting for results I began moving some osmium plates for a basic strength test.

Ares's soul energy must be one hell of a stimulant as it has been seeeping into my body. It was not even for bodies, but to improve the soul, yet I could now lift four tonnes, thanks to it and my passive growth. That was only a tonne under Valerica's light set, and considering how long she had been working on her body, that was quite something.

My science brain became excited at tackling the Hyllus technique when I had the time back on Apollo-minor I would enjoy greatly improving upon it if I could. Fortunately for science brain, before it could be side-tracked by a bunch of different things, my blood sample came back and what I saw left my jaw on the floor.

"How the fuck am I alive right now?" I said in wonderment as I looked at the results. My very blood cells had deteriorated to the point they all looked like sickle cells, only Psionic energy was acting like a sort of prosthetic, making them whole again with their energy.

I could imagine on my ship, when I was in agony, almost all of my cells were in the process of being turned into pure Psionic energy, causing collapse throughout. Still though, with the threat to my life, I was also fascinated.

'The fact I am still alive, though in pain that is only going to continue. In the future, when my body is sturdy enough, perhaps I could begin to slowly replace my blood cells with Psionic energy... Perhaps even convert my bone marrow? I would need Jewel's expertise there though, best keep to DNA and genes for now.'

There was no point thinking about the distant future now, for a problem needed to be fixed in the present. I spent an entire day going over the best course of action to treat my condition. Having Psionic energy in my blood and coursing through my muscles and bones was a good thing, but having that energy replace said bodily structures? That was what the decay was.

After conducting test after test. Determining failure rates, potential mishaps and reducing chance of deaths, it took another three days before I figured out a perfect enhancement routine I could do to myself.

The first thing was to make myself taller. Although I did enjoy being 6ft8, My body would need a lot more mass in order to take more power into myself. I could just make myself a chonk monster like Sapphire and have incredibly large muscles all the time, but I preferred my lean cut.

Besides I was also used to it and after the refectory period of getting used to my new height once I was done, not much else would change and my combat reflexes would stay predominantly the same.

"Oh!" I said in realisation before I looked around, checking for someone. Sure enough, even though I had not acknowledged their presence once in the last few days, both Orchid and Keyla were sitting on my bed, watching me intently.

"Orchid." I exclaimed. "Go to a nest pod and make yourself 7ft tall and adjust body proportions accordingly. I am going to add 7" to myself for a starting point and also adjust my shoulder width and such.

Orchid nodded her head and walked off to a nest pod to do such a thing. Apollo was not much of a talker in this state, despite him being very attractive. So she just obediently left. Keyla on the other hand began salivating,

Apollo was already tall. To make himself taller... She gazed at his member and gulped. "A-Apollo, are you also going to be increasing your pleasure poker? Because if you are..." I shook my head. "No need. My pocket rocket will still look large on my new body. If I continue to grow and Jewel increases the size of her mating form, I might consider increasing the length and girth, for now though, It does its job."

I noticed a mixture of emotions in Keyla's eye that while mostly were horny and relief, there was another that brought me out of science mode as I felt bad. Walking over to the bed, I sat down next to her and wrapped my arm around her, catching her off guard as I had been so hyper focused for multiple days.

"Keyla, I said it before, You are my little short stack. do not be conscious of your size for it is really sexy to me." Keyla looked up at me after I said that and asked. "Really?" I nodded my head and lowered my hand down her back and squeezed her rear, causing her to moan at the unexpected move.

"How about this? After I have finished my enhancements, you get to be the first one to test-drive the goods?" I said as I leaned in before kissing her on the cheek. Keyla smiled cutely as blush crept upon her face. I was expecting her to say something meek or perhaps something extremely lewd, as it was Keyla after all.

But instead she replied. "That sounds wonderful, but can we do it on a battlefield somewhere after I have killed a bunch of creatures? I have never had the opportunity to perform a mass killing and those yellow aliens I have been watching on your data pad look like so much fun to fight! Especially with my new body, I don't have to be careful with my killing. I can perform a bloody massacre!"

Keyla then paused and gasped loudly. Before she looked at me with wide eyes. "If we convince Orchid to join us in the sex and maybe let some freethinkers watch, It can be an actual BLOOD ORGY!!!"

Keyla then stood up excited. "Oh my gosh! I cannot believe I am going to have a blood orgy! I need to go and convince Orchid!" She said before sprinting out of the room, to find wherever the nest pods were leaving me behind, confused.

"Um... Ok?"
