American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 428 Forced Love

Just as Roy had guessed, something unexpected did happen on the Alien and Thing's side.

The incident began when the alien captured a person who had just been parasitized by the freak and had not yet mutated, and used him as a host for the facehugger.

The result was the creation of a mutated alien that was parasitized by the freak, which we can call the freak or the freak.

Hmm, I feel like "Strange" sounds better.

In short, this newly born alien seems to be beyond the control of the Alien Queen, and its genetic form has become stable, unlike other aliens that have transformed into various strange forms.

Even the color turning bright red makes it look very special.

It resembled a creature parasitized by the Seed of Silence, radiating malice.

Roy guessed that the genes of the freak and the alien had complemented each other.

You ask how Roy knew? Well, it's because the monster passed by him shortly after he entered the Deception Space state.

The strange creature's senses seemed to be very sharp. When Roy entered the deception space, it instinctively sensed that something was wrong and stopped to sniff around Roy.

This creature even unfolded its carapace, releasing a large number of pink tentacles to sense its surroundings.

However, it was all for naught. Fraudulent spaces are not so easy to detect, otherwise Roy wouldn't have been able to escape from Jack Hook time and time again.

After sensing for a while without finding Roy, the strange creature discovered something else. It quickly regenerated its shell and silently walked towards its target.

Roy wanted to see what this guy was up to, so instead of attacking it, he followed behind it.

The alien's physiological structure is naturally suited to silent movement in complex environments, something humans are far less adept at, making it quite difficult for Roy to follow.

Immediately, Roy saw the alien forcefully control another alien and then stab its own tail into the alien's body, as if it were conducting a training exercise.

In reality, however, aliens lack the ability to train and educate, even though their social structure is very similar to that of ant colonies.

Centered around the Alien Queen, various aliens with different functions serve her to ensure the propagation of their species.

However, unlike ant colonies, the Alien Queen does not need male Aliens to fertilize her, so she does not need to provide male Aliens with the corresponding reproductive organs and abilities.

The ordinary male Xenomorph is actually a low-level cattle or horse, also known as a worker bee Xenomorph (Drone).

So the question is, what is the alien doing now?

Roy quickly found his answer.

After being subjected to the alien's forced love, the worker bee alien also seems to have begun to mutate.

First, the color started to change from black to red, and then red tentacles began to grow on the body, although these tentacles quickly retracted into the body.

It seems that the alien turned a worker bee alien into one of its own through forced love.

The reason why the alien didn't kill Bruce has been found: it's clear that the alien's primary goal was to force love on other aliens, rather than to help the alien queen find a breeding ground for facehuggers.

If there are not enough worker bee aliens, the alien queen will be unable to break free of the restrictions. Therefore, even if there are more Predators participating in the trial, they will still be unable to complete the trial.

Well, once the pyramid's mechanism is activated, unless you demolish it like Roy did, the only way out is to kill the Alien Queen, because the pyramid's exit is right next to the prison where the Alien Queen is being held.

Every change in the pyramid's topography was meant to drive the people inside towards the very center, which was also the location of the Alien Queen.

After learning about the monster's purpose, Roy emerged from the deception space and prepared to test the monster's strength.

The two strange creatures were clearly startled when they suddenly saw Roy, and kept growling at him, much like Hakimi breathing out hot air.

"Shut up! Do you dare to fight me and show me what a 'black hand' really is!"

One of the monsters seemed to be enraged by these words and lunged at Roy.

As you can see, the Alien's explosive power is much stronger than the Worker Alien's, and its sprint speed is almost doubled.

Converted to numerical values, it's roughly 50 or higher in agility, which neither Heather nor Penny should have.

"interesting!"

Roy pulled out the Leviathan Axe, then transformed it into a folding shield, delivering a perfectly timed shield bash to the monster's head.

boom!
With a muffled thud, the strange creature was slammed to the ground, its head buzzing.

An ordinary person, or even a Predator, would likely suffer brain death from such a blow.

But the strange creature was still able to struggle to get up.

"Take a deep breath, dizziness is normal."

Seeing its companion suffer a setback, another strange creature immediately launched an attack, but the result remained the same.

While the Alien's physical abilities may be a qualitative leap compared to the Worker Alien, it is still no match for Roy, who is numerically superior.

"Tsk tsk tsk! It's a pity you can't speak, otherwise it would be even more interesting."

Roy looked at the two beatingly dazed monsters with some regret; such good punching bags are truly rare.

The monster's carapace was extremely hard; it didn't even break when hit by the Leviathan Axe, which had transformed into a folded shield.

It's important to know that this folding shield inherits the strength of the Leviathan's Axe, only its shape is the same as the Predator's shield. After all, it was made from the bones of the Envy King.

Roy decided that after killing the monsters, he would remove their head carapaces and take them back to see if he could make them into shields or something.

The monster's carapace actually looks quite like a long shield.

At that moment, the shells of the two strange creatures suddenly cracked open, and a large number of red tentacles stretched out from them.

It seemed as if the monster's body was completely occupied by these red tentacles, so densely packed that they could trigger trypophobia.

Roy reacted very quickly, jumping back a distance to dodge the attack of the red tentacles, and then transformed the Leviathan Axe in his hand back into its original form before throwing it out with force.

Snap—Boom!

First came the sonic boom, followed by a deafening roar.

The two monstrous creatures were blown apart on the spot by Leviathan's Axe because they were too close together.

There was no acidic blood. The strange creature was only similar to the alien in appearance; its internal structure was completely different.

The most obvious evidence is that after the alien's body was destroyed, Roy did not see any organs inside the alien's body, only a large number of lively tentacles.

Roy didn't know what kind of situation this strange creature belonged to; perhaps only biologists could answer that question.

However, after losing the monstrous body, the red tentacles seemed to lose control again, starting to connect with each other to form a fleshy mass.

Roy immediately threw an incendiary bomb, igniting the red tentacles. When the flames died down, only the monster's red carapace remained intact; everything else was charred.

"Oh, at least I don't have to deal with the body."

Disposing of corpses is a highly specialized task that Roy hasn't learned yet, so it will be very troublesome.

Then, Roy heard a slight noise, turned his head and saw the Predators appear. They must have come over after hearing the noise, and they appeared immediately after seeing Roy.

"So it's you."

Roy noticed that one of the Predators was missing, and another Predator was covered in blood and seemed to be seriously injured, so he had to be carried by the other Predators.

It seems the Predators also encountered some battles, but it's unclear whether they were attacked by worker bee aliens, Things, or other aliens.

The Predator captain pointed to two strange red carapaces at Roy's feet.

"What do you mean? You want these two shells?"

The Predator captain nodded and showed off the alien head he was carrying on his back; this carapace was presumably proof that the Predator had completed the trial.

"I see. How about we make a deal? I'm going to hunt down the queen of this thing. Do you know how to find it?"

The Matrix is ​​a legendary creature, and Roy suspects that the Alien Queen is also a legendary creature, which means he has no choice but to hunt this creature.

The Mimicry rune is surprisingly useful, and Roy is looking forward to getting the new rune.

Upon hearing this, the Predator captain visibly hesitated, likely knowing that their strength was insufficient to defeat the Alien Queen.

This trial, due to the Thing's intrusion, has clearly surpassed the level of a novice, and the Predator captain seems more interested in getting his companions out safely.

"Here's what we'll do: you just need to take me to the Queen's room, and then you can leave. Plus, I can help you hunt the aliens."

The Predator captain was persuaded and immediately nodded.

Then, Roy looked at the injured Predator.

"Do you need me to treat him?"

The Predator captain seemed very surprised and projected a message onto his helmet.

“We have tried many treatments for him, but his condition continues to deteriorate.”

Roy sensed something was wrong. Predators' physical condition and recovery speed far exceeded those of humans. Unless it was a severe injury that caused disability or was fatal, ordinary injuries could not render them unable to fight.

However, Roy noticed that the Predator did not have either of those injuries.

"Wait! Your companion may be infected with some kind of parasitic organism. Get away from him immediately!"

It seemed that Roy's words made the injured Predator unable to keep up the act any longer, and the guy suddenly took off his helmet and ambushed the Predator carrying him.

This situation caught the other Predators off guard. By the time they realized what was happening, the Predator's brain had already been invaded by red tentacles.

The Predator captain was furious. He unleashed his folding sword and cleaved the already wounded Predator in two, but this method was not enough to kill the Thing.

Instead, after the morph split in two, it began to mutate further, with a large number of red tentacles waving around, almost hitting other Predators.

"Physical attacks are useless; we must use energy attacks!"

Upon hearing this, the Predator Captain, the only one with a shoulder-mounted cannon, fired plasma cannons in succession, instantly blasting the split monster apart.

Then another Predator raised its hand and used a flamethrower to burn the monster's remains to ashes.

Unfortunately, the Predator who was ambushed could not be saved. His brain had been invaded by the monstrous cells, and he lay on the ground convulsing. It was clear that he would mutate soon.

The Predator captain stared silently at the fallen Predator, his expression grim. He realized that this comrade could not be spared and had to be eliminated immediately.

"The Thing can parasitize other organisms in all its cells, which is even more disgusting than cancer cells. You'd better hurry up."

Roy didn't care whether the Predator captain could understand him or not, and went straight to spouting a bunch of technical terms.

In the end, the Predator captain had no choice but to let his companion with the flamethrower burn the Predator on the ground to death.

After doing all this, only four of the seven Predators remained.

This infuriated the Predator captain, who pounded his chest repeatedly before finally asking Roy through the projection.

"What exactly is this?"

“Those are alien parasites brought to Earth by another group of aliens. I don’t know much about them, except that if you get involved with them, you will definitely be parasitized. I think you should consider what would happen if this creature parasitized the Queen of the Alien.”

This indeed made the Predator Captain serious, as the Alien Queen's size was 5 to 10 times that of the worker bee alien.

Once the Alien Queen is parasitized, these Predators will surely die. Their weapons are all single-soldier weapons, which may be able to deal with ordinary Alien Queens, but they certainly cannot deal with the monstrous Alien Queen.

Fortunately, the Alien Queen should not have been parasitized yet, because she is protected by her guards.

The Alien Queen's guards are created specifically to protect her, because the Alien Queen's enormous size makes her unsuitable for combat and more suitable as a breeding machine.

Therefore, the Alien Queen will specially produce some Queen Guards to protect herself. These Queen Guards are 2 to 3 times stronger and have thicker defenses than the worker bee Aliens, and they will always protect the Alien Queen.

Although the alien is physically stronger than the worker bee alien, it is clearly no match for the alien queen's guards.

Therefore, the aliens roamed inside the pyramid, trying to infect as many aliens as possible before attacking the Alien Queen's room.

However, the Alien Queen can sense ordinary aliens through pheromones and control them remotely.

Once an alien transforms into a monster, its pheromones will change.

This alerted the Alien Queen, who began to tighten her defenses and prevent the worker bee aliens from leaving her side.

So the aliens had no choice but to approach the Predators, hoping to increase their strength by controlling them. This is why the Predators lost three members.

After seeing the explanation projected by the Predator, Roy looked thoughtful.

"You're caught between the monsters and the aliens now. If you keep dragging this out, things will only get worse! Let's just charge in!"

The Predator Captain projects text.

"Are you sure?"

Seeing that the Predator still didn't believe him, Roy had no choice but to show off his strength, smashing the stone wall in front of him with a single punch.

"I'm very confident!"
