Monster Integration

It took me a while, but I have reached close to the Grimm Grandmaster without it noticing me. Now there is only a two and half-mile of the distance between it and me; I could make do with such distance.

I opened my palm, and in it, twelve blue-violet seeds are floating inside. Since their inception, they are regularly collecting data on the Grimms and strengthened themselves with its energy; they also would get regular strengthening from me.

I would insert them inside the Grimms at every battle of mine, and now, these seeds are powerful enough to take the next leap.

The Grandmaster, I am going to insert them into the body of the Dark Carapace Antman; I don't know for sure whether I would be successful or not, but here is the safest place; I could try it without invoking anyone's suspicion about them.

The twelve seeds in my palm spun in circles before they began to merge into one another before there was only a single seed have remained. A single seed is not enough against the Grandmaster; I would need to use every one of them.

As the seeds merged, I threw the seed toward the Antman, and within a few seconds, it reached the Grimm before it noticed and seeped inside its body.

As the seed seeped inside him, the Grimm suddenly stopped, and I saw its antennas twitch; at the same time, powerful soul energy spread around it. I remained on my spot and did not move while keeping my cloaking method at full power.

The powerful soul energy remained around me for more than a minute before it disappeared, and Grimm began to move again.

I did not follow the Grimm Grandmaster immediately. Instead, I landed near one of the biggest dunes I could see and opened the cave inside. I sat crossed-legged inside and closed my eyes, focusing on the seed that I had deployed into the Grandmaster.

As I had closed my eyes, the metaphysic of Antman appeared in front of my eyes. My seed had already scanned the whole body of Grimm, but other than that, it did not do anything.

I am very familiar with the Grimm's physiology as I have been harvesting them for a long while. This is why I have restricted most of the automatic functions of the seed.

It is a Grandmaster I am dealing with, and I have to be careful. I will control the seed remotely; so, no mistake could occur.

The first thing I did was study the metaphysic of Grimms, which is constantly showing the change as my seed is constantly scanning it. 

When I had seeped my seed inside the Grimm earlier, it felt something and sent its soul sense out. It had poured a huge amount of soul sense inside it and scanned every part of it in a search for my seed.

Which it did not find, one of the things which my seed is good at is hiding. Those below me in power could forget about sensing my seed.

Just a few seconds ago, it stopped scanning, seeing that I did not waste any time and move the seed into the body of the Grimm, and soon it had latched into its heart core, and from there it began to spread its tentacle into its body.

At first, the tentacles from the seed had spread into the magical veins of the Grimm, and as it finished with I, it had begun to spread into its skin and muscles before it went to its spine, brain, and point below its neck, where its cognitive senses lie.

Just like its power core, there are safeguards placed across its cognitive organs.

A simple tick and they would activate, but I did not fear them. I have knowledge of them; even though they are far more numbers than in the Master, I do not have a problem wrapping the tentacles around them without alerting even a single one of them.

After it, it spread into its physical senses, which is not a big thing seeing it had spread its tentacles into the cognitive function of Grimm.

With that, the Grandmaster is now completely within my control. I could control it as easily as I could control a Master with my seed.

Though, I have no intention of revealing any of it yet. The primary reason I had placed my seed inside it was to not gather more data and power to upgrade my seed but to know the plan and whereabouts of Grimm Monsters.

While it happens, my seed would continuously collect more and more data, making it even better, that soon a day would come where I need to use only one seed to control a Grandmaster, not all twelve of them.

I stayed in the cave for a few hours before I moved behind the Grimm Monster; the range of the seed is huge, but I still would need to be in the range. Thankfully, the range is big enough that even a peak Grandmaster would not be able to scan me through this range.

My seed is collecting the data every second and was able to clearly sense that it is talking with other Grimms through the artifact.

This conversation is not something I could tap into; I could try, but it will be invasive enough that Grimm Monster would detect it. So, unless it speaks through its mouth, my seed would not be able to hear it.

It is regretful, but there is nothing I could do about it unless I am willing to take the risk of my seed getting discovered.

With my seed, I would be able to kill it remotely, but it would not serve any purpose other than taking out another of my enemies, Grandmaster. I do not want that, I want to know where the Grimms are held up, and I will know it sooner or later.

Even If this Grimm did not say anything out, it would not patrol forever and would return to its base, and when it does.. I will immediately know their location and what they are planning in this ruin.
