Chapter 377 – The Great Potential Of Rust

—–

Chaos introduced the little slime to all of the rest of his allies, as they saw the slime, Rust, with surprised eyes. They seemed to have been rather shocked by its cuteness, and how friendly it was with everyone, however when they offered him food, he didn't take it… but he did ate the metallic utensils they used for eating dinner though.

"This creature is a reincarnated soul, are you sure about that, Chaos-sama? It doesn't seem as intelligent as Abyss or Rot." Said Belphegor. He began to think that Chaos might be wrong, Rust was way too childish and curious to be a reincarnated soul, right?

No… now that Belphegor remembered, Abyss was also quite like that at the beginning, so maybe that wasn't the case, and Rot at the beginning didn't knew how to speak either… So perhaps it was because of this reason that the little metal slime was like this, but over time it would grow more mentally.

Nonetheless, having a metallic slime wandering around above the table put him nervous, even though he didn't really ate at all and just was there with the rest, he found it might be a bit disturbing to have a slime wander over their food.

"Rust, that's enough, come here." Said Abyss.

Rust quickly obeyed his "mama", as he flew towards her in an instant, jumping over her legs and resting over her lap silently, he had small beady black eyes, which when he rested closed, and he looked very cute.

Abyss caressed his head, making him even happier, she discovered his body was very heavy despite having taken a small form again, he was able to compress his own mass, but the weight of his mass would still remain, if it wasn't because Abyss is incredibly physically strong, she wouldn't be able to hold him with her legs.

"Yeah, it is reincarnated. I already checked his soul, despite how he might look like, he is indeed a reincarnated soul like Abyss and Rot." Said Chaos.

"Like me?" asked Rot. "Is Rust my brother?"

"Yes… it could be said that he is your brother, Rot." Said Chaos. "So make sure to welcome him."

"I-I will!" said Rot happily, she quickly moved at the side of Abyss and began to pet the adorable slime with her hands.

"Rust brother!" she said happily. She was still learning how to speak properly.

"I-I see… I understand then." Said Belphegor. "He seems very unique, I had seen metal slimes before, but they were not able to do any of the insane things that Rust had just showcased to be capable of doing, I am very impressed."

"Indeed. Just by analyzing the entire structure of this slime, I can tell it is just liquid metal." Said Edward. "It has the ability to assimilate metals and add them to his body as part of him, and also, you said he can "possess" objects with high technology, my lord?"

"Yes, he can…" said Chaos. "Do you got any idea?"

"Yeah. What if we use that scrap, we got in your backyard to let him assimilate it? I remember there are a lot of spaceships you decided to just leave there to eat later but it seems you forgot about them…" said Edward.

"No I didn't forget about them; I don't know what you're talking about…" said Chaos. He was very bad at lying so it was very obvious he was pretending. "I… just left them there for another occasion. We have been quite busy lately."

"Ah… Hahaha, yes, sure, that's the case…" said Edward. "Nonetheless, could it be possible to ask Rust if he could fuse these destroyed spaceships?"

"But what about Red Star? If we get a new spaceship what's his work gonna be?" asked Yuki. "You gotta think on everybody, Edward!"

"Yeah we can't just let him steal the job of our beloved living spaceship." Said Boxxy, she supported her bed friend quickly after, cornering Edward.

"Sigh… Red Star can still work with the purpose he was made for, but if we let Rust absorb all this technology, he'll surely grow stronger, or even more, fuse with it like he did with the refrigerator, right?" asked Edward. "My lord said that he was even able to transform into a golem that fired giant ice cubes that exploded and froze anything they hit, this is where all this ice came from, I assume." Edward pointing with his index finger at all the ice stuck to the walls and ceiling behind him, which made sharp spikes of ice spreading everywhere…

"Yes, that's right, that's how it happened…" said Chaos. "I suppose we can let him do that. There are more materials so I am going to feed him daily so he can accumulate stats. He can increase stats very easily but he can also lose them very easily, doing things such as self-duplication, even when all duplicated selves moved together, still wasted stats, so I assume anything that requires effort also consumes stats because he ends using a permanent part of his very mass… this also happened with the refrigerator incident."

"Incredible, so that's how it is." Said Edward. "Rust is truly an interesting and intriguing entity! I believe we should really try to make him stronger, he could help us tremendously, even more if he could somehow fight against that Silver guy… he looked like a pain to deal with."

"Hm, I agree…" said Erebus. "My new little brother is strong so we should feed him with as much food as we can. It is never enough for our little brother."

"Bububuhh!" said the little Rust, feeling like he was being acknowledged.

"He's very energetic, I like him…" said Natalia. "Perhaps he could become the key for us to be able to invade that wicked city and its high technology, perhaps we could hack the entire system with him and Erebus if both work together…"

Natalia had quite an enlightening idea, which seemed that it might truly be a powerful move… imagining Rust taking over all the technology of the entire city seemed quite disastrous for their enemies…
