Infinite Evolution: Rise of the God of Metamorphosis

Chapter 17: New Evolution Form- Diving Bell Spider

Today was Eliot’s first big day as chief of this fish school.

He led them to an unprecedented victory, killing multiple small fish and 2 powerful predators in the form of the Giant Barracuda and the Diving Bell Spider.

Eliot was not someone that loved work though.

He could be lazy like any other person. The reason why he put in so much effort to become the chief and lead this fish school was because he had goals.

He had a lot of mysteries in his mind that he wanted to clarify.

And most of all, evolution.

[You have activated innate bloodline ability: Infinite Evolution!]

[Congratulations! You have killed a Diving Bell Spider!]

[Kickstarting evolution process…, please wait!]

[Process kickstarted!]

Commander Blinky did a good job in executing the picture that the chief presented in digging out the labyrinth lair of the fish school.

Inside the lair, there was a separate dug hole for the chief.

As soon as Eliot returned from the hunt, while most of the Salmon fish in the attack department were tired and went to sleep, he went to his hole.

There, he kickstarted his evolution.

Since the Giant Barracuda was a fish like the Salmon, Eliot refrained from evolving into a Barracuda. As for the Diving Bell Spider though, he was fascinated by the abilities shown by it and hence why he decided to evolve into that.

Despite experiencing it once before already, Eliot was still amazed as mystical golden lights burst out inside his hole, encapsulating his Salmon body.

That magical feeling returned again.

That feeling like he was under the gentle handling of the master architect with his body being remolded into a different one, he felt it again.

Like the first time when he became a Salmon fish, it didn’t last long.

Just 5 seconds later, the process came to an end.

All the golden mystical lights disappeared as the line of words from the support system appeared again, flooding his vision.

[Congratulations Virgin Eliot!]

[You have made use of innate bloodline ability: Infinite Evolution!]

[You have unlocked a new Evolution Form: Diving Bell Spider]

[Evolution Forms Available: Salmon Anemia- Virus; Salmon Fish; Diving Bell Spider]

[Do you want to change forms?]

“No”.

At this moment, he was inside the labyrinth lair. A Diving Bell Spider suddenly appearing here would freak all the Salmon fish out.

That was not his focus though, his focus instead went to all the new information that just surged into his mind about the Diving Bell Spider.

‘Their botanical name is Argyroneta aquatica’.

‘They are the only known spider in the world that lives entirely underwater, I expected this’. Eliot’s eyes gleamed in excitement at all the new information that were surging into his brain.

He doubted he would ever get tired of this feeling, it felt so magical.

‘Like other arachnids, they must breathe air but they provide their own supply by forming a bubble which it holds by hairs in its legs and abdomen’. Eliot confirmed this having seen the Diving Bell Spider in action.

‘Unusual for spiders, the males are bigger than the females’.

‘Phew!’ Eliot heaved a sigh of relief. ‘Thank God I’m male’.

‘The Diving Bell Spider can inflict a painful bite that is often accompanied by feverish symptoms’. Eliot’s eyes widened in surprise on seeing this.

‘This explains its hunting mode, why all those preys became weakened after just one bite from it, damn this is useful!’ He was excited.

‘I wonder how powerful a Diving Bell Spider can become after it evolves once to unlock magic? There’ll probably be new abilities too, damn!’

‘Besides,’ Eliot’s eyes widened as something just dawned on him. ‘Since all my evolution forms are different, does that mean I need an individual single species evolution orb for every single form?’

‘Man, what a drag!’

After raving in his head about his newly acquired evolution form, Eliot finally focused on doing one last thing, he checked his new form’s status.

“Damn, finally, I have luck!”

“Does that mean fish have less luck than spiders?”

Eliot was impressed with what he saw.

The spider was far slower than his Salmon fish form in terms of speed, but not only was the spider significantly higher in the power stat, its mind and toughness were also higher.

The highlight for Eliot though was the spider’s luck.

He felt so much safer already seeing it.

After he was done exploring the fantasies and wonders of his new evolved form, Eliot finally called upon ex chief, his assistant.

Ex chief did not waste any time before honoring the summon.

Eliot turned to look at this Salmon fish. “We passed the test”.

“Now, it’s time to aim big”.

“Tell me about the rival fish schools of the Thunder Reef”.

For a few seconds, ex chief was stunned then he looked at his chief skeptically. “What do you want to do?”

“What do you think? Go on a raid of course”.

“I don’t want to do this recklessly though; I only want to do this against schools that have bullied and antagonized our fish school in the past”.

“If there’s any, tell us about them”.

“…!” Ex chief could not answer immediately, he shook in excitement.

“We’re going on a raid?!” Ex chief was excited.

“A raid bigger than today’s hunt?”

“Will we hunt big fish like today?”

“Will we win all our battles like today?”

“C’mon, tell me! Will we win?!”

Seeing his enthusiasm, Eliot almost felt imaginary sweat dripping down his gills. ‘Damn, with a chief like him, this fish school was surely heading towards the path of extinction’.

‘It’s not his fault though,’ He lamented. ‘It’s who he is’.

Eliot did not keep him waiting though, he grinned. “Yeah, we’ll win”.

Ex chief bobbed up and down in excitement the next moment on hearing that. “Of course, we have rivals!”

“Enemies, bullies who have toyed with us for a long time”.

“Finally, it’s time to get our revenge”.

“Calm down”. If Eliot had a hand, he would scratch his head awkwardly. “Take it easy brother”.

“Tell me about them”.

“With pleasure!” Ex chief replied excitedly.

“There’s the anaconda family, they swallowed 4 of us long…” Ex chief paused as he could see chief glaring at him.

“Ahem…, all fish must die someday?”

Eliot sighed. “Continue”.

“We have the Stingray clan led by their champion, Stinger”.

“We have the night raiders, the infamous Vampire fish crew”.

“We also have the Tiger fish clan, those f*ckers!”

“Those f*ckers too, the Mata Mata!”

“Ahh…, I almost forgot, those f*ckers…”

“Ah, them too…”

“There’s them too…”

“…” Throughout, Eliot was left speechless.

“How in the name of all mother*cking midgets did you make so many enemies as the chief of the school?!”

“…”
