Kaijin Fighter: So I Have to Make Monsters, So What?

"Zhen Liu."

"Yeah, Zhen Xing?"

"Logos and Pathos told us that you were the only possible source of Kaijin in the world when we asked them a few weeks back to clarify things about your abilities, and this was something that Zhen Hai and Zhen Guo confirmed."

"Unless we count the previous Kaijin Lords from the past and the possibility of their Kaijin living past their expiration dates, that is correct."

"And the Grafted were humans with Kaijin body parts installed. They felt like Kaijin but they were clearly human, right?"

"More or less."

"So what the fuck is this guy?!"

[I WILL SWALLOW YOUR SOULS IF YOU DO NOT LET ME GO!] Constrictor roared in an indignant manner.

[Can I eat him?] Nepeherage asked.

"I don't even know if that's safe," Zhen Liu declined.

[Can I eat him?] Corpse Doll asked while walking around and looking over the snake Kaijin.

[I'm going to say, but don't though,] Porcelain Doll answered in Zhen Liu's stead.

[Please stop discussing about whether or not the pretender to be my theme be eaten by anyone other than me,] Springerdermain complained.

[Wait, I thought you were against eating people?] Razorstella pointed out.

[This is different.]

[Is it?]

After Nepeherage and the others took down Constrictor, they had tied the bastard up to a rock and presented him to Zhen Liu and the other mortals to determine what should be done with him.

They had also brought along that antelope Bloodliner slave girl, who had fainted after the other kaijin had shown up to put an end to Constrictor's attack.

As of this moment, she was being watched over by Antonio and Zhen Tai, since they were friendliest looking of the bunch.

Normally, this would be the part where Zhen Liu would open up the [Doors to Nowhere] and have this guy strapped to an operating table so that Logos and Pathos could determine what was going and how this guy could possibly exist.

Zhen Liu's key, however, was still on the fritz. Also, Logos and Pathos were currently in the middle of a mental breakdown that was... unhinged.

To the point that Hurricroak had to be the responsible adult until Frosttusk showed up.

...Meanwhile at the Library...

<=AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!=>

[WHEN DID YOU TWO CREATE AN ICE CREAM THROWER AND WHY ARE YOU RANDOMLY FIRING IT?!]

<=BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW OURSELVES ANYMORE!!!!=>

[BY CHAOS'S EDGES!]

"WEEEE!"

[JASPER! JANICE! NO! THAT WAS NOT AN INVITATION TO START SLEDDING!]

...Now back to the Mountain Range...

Either way, Zhen Liu had to be the one to take point in this endeavor since he was the only one who could meaningfully interrogate this guy.

There were just a few glaring issues that made this interrogation significantly more difficult in comparison to past interrogations.

Zhen Liu took a deep breath as he realized that the task ahead of him was going to be a massive pain in the ass.

'So I have to do all this work without my fucking theater or the ability to have the Kaijin just...jump into their brain...great.'

Kaijin, by default, couldn't possess other kaijin due to their bodies being more spiritual than physical.

If normal possession was like pouring liquid into a container, Kaijin on Kaijin possession would be like trying to use water to contain juice.

Plus, the last time he tried to do that trick with the Grafted, they fucking exploded and almost took him and three of his Kaijin out.

If there was a chance of any explosions happening again...he'd rather not risk it...again.

'Ugh, whatever, let's just make sure that I can do this shit without getting interrupted.'

After getting his head in the game, Zhen Liu turned his attention towards his cousins and allies.

"Can you guys go and make sure that this asshole isn't getting followed? Call it paranoia but the fact that he used the word, 'division' has gotten me...paranoid."

After making his thoughts known, Zhen Liu handed each of his allies a handful of zako marbles. "Extra assurance."

"It ain't paranoia if there's a good reason behind it," Zhen Xing assured his cousin as he pocketed the marbles. "If there's any more like him, we'll send a message back with a zako."

"Aye."

Zhen Xing, Lythero, and Olstenna split off into different directions, while each using their own personal means of detection.

[Wait, Ringmaster. Should we go and check around too?] Springerdermain asked for himself and his fellow Kaijin. [What if those others are like...him?]

[Then your friends are fucking dead!] Constrictor interrupted. [You guys may be Kaijin, but those other three reaked of mortal weakness! If my brothers or the members of the other division find them, you're gonna wish you never got the drop on me!]

[QUIET!] Nepeherage roared as she kicked Constrictor in the stomach with enough force to blow out the mountain slop behind him.

[Ha! That's the stuff!]

"Yeah...no. I think you guys should stick around in case this motherfucker tries to make a break for it."

Whomever or whatever made this kaijin had decided to make them significantly tougher than any other kaijin that Zhen Liu currently had on hand, so while Nepeherage's kick was enough to fuck up a mortal, another Kaijin like this was able to tank the hit...to an extent. Evidently, this was the reason why Constrictor managed to survive three Kaijin slamming into the side of his neck.

Then again, this guy said he was uplifted from an Ogre Python, and those fuckers were incredibly sturdy.

Regardless, Zhen Liu needed answers and this fucker was starting to look more and more like a pinata in his eyes.

Then again, that might've been the bloodthirst radiating off of his Kaijin.

The only other time he felt this level of unmitigated rage, was when they faced off the Grafted.

Evidently, the Kaijin seemed to have a massive hatred for fakes and thieves.

And that feeling was mutual.

"Alright, my guys here already want to literally tear you apart and devour you wholesale or worse. Maybe if you answer some of my questions then—]

[Fuck you, you bootleg!] Constrictor spat in Zhen Liu's face, prompting the latter to raise his hand so that the Kaijin wouldn't lash out in murderous fury.

[I'm going to enjoy swallowing you bastards whole and spitting you back out in front of the boss! I don't know what he'll do, but I know it'll be bad.]

"Hmmm. Wait a minute."

At this moment, Zhen Liu realized that his usual schtick of being an anonymous force of nature wouldn't work because this "Kaijin" was backed by his own anonymous force of nature.

In other words, Zhen Liu would have to try and get...creative.

"I have an absolutely terrible, incredibly stupid idea on what to do...and I don't have a soundboard to work with so I'll just do it and deal with the mistakes on my own," Zhen Liu said aloud to mentally prepare himself before taking a deep breath.

...

'Blazejudicator. Get ready for a fight in my head.'

[I can still hear your thoughts, Executor. So don't worry. Bring in the accused.]

'LETS GO!'

...

[What the fuck are you even on about?]

"GET IN MY BRAIN!"

[What the fuck?!]

Going off of a gut instinct, the recent behavior of Corpse Doll and remembering a certain asshole who tried to suck the life out of his fiancee, Zhen Liu grabbed Constrictor by the face and attempted to absorb his [Chaos].

In Zhen Liu's head, there were two possible explanations for Constrictor's existence.

The first was that Constrictor wasn't a real Kaijin, but was a type of [Chaos] enhanced mutant. Meaning, if Zhen Liu drained his ass, then he would get knocked the fuck out due to suddenly losing fuckton of [Chaos].

The second possibility was that Constrictor was a real Kaijin, and as such, could possess people because their body was mostly made of [Chaos] and nothing really material anymore.

Therefore, if Zhen Liu tried to absorb his [Chaos], then Constrictor would naturally be forced to possess him.

Zhen Liu was kind of hoping for the former, but he had a feeling it was going to be the latter.

The moment Zhen Liu started to absorb the [Chaos] that composed Constrictor, the snake-man Kaijin suddenly transformed into a spirit before violently merging with Zhen Liu's body.

Needless to say, the kaijin were shocked and disturbed by Zhen Liu's action.

[Producer, what the fuck?!] Screamira yelled. [Why the hell would you take a foreign snake in like that?]

[Phrasing,] Springerdermain chided

[That dude was gross!] Razorstella added. [Did you not see who thick and veiny his body was?! I'm pretty sure his bottom half was nothing but veins and sinew.]

[P-phrasing.]

[Milord...why?] Nepeherage asked with genuine concern.

Zhen Liu was a touch twitchy due to the incredibly foreign Kaijin in his body, but this was all part of the plan.

"D-don't worry guys! I'm just...about to go and extract some memories...or is it absorb?"
