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

Chapter 9: A monster(hero) is born!

Earlier

As Zhen Liu circulated the aether throughout his body and the jagged diagram, a strange voice spoke in his head.

"What the hell?", Zhen Liu thought. A moment later, he heard the same words that young woman was saying repeating in his head again.

"I want to live. Someone. Anyone. Save me. Please..."

Zhen Liu felt his head pound as a cascade of memories flashed through his mind. Moments of helplessness as someone cried out for help on the news broacasts, times where he ignored someone in need of a few bucks to stave off starvation for a few days, the times where he wanted to help his friends but couldn't because he was too scared to act. In essence, times where he asked himself: "Why didn't you do anything?"

"What the hell?," he groaned in pain. The pain and memories eventually subsided as the voice spoke up again.

A ball of rainbow-colored light suddenly grew into existence in front of the meditating Zhen Liu. He didn't know what it was exactly, but he had the feeling he was standing in front of someone who would recklessly endanger themselves to save one. In essence, someone heroic.

, the voice instructed.

"Kaijin core? The next ste-oh the words. Right", Zhen Liu thought for a moment before proceeding to recite the same words he heard that strange guy say in his dream.

[With my power I forge your body.]

<10,000 year old Crimson Jade...suitable.>

Images of a winged warrior woman and large brutish monster flitted through his mind before melding together into a single cohesive image.

Aether began to flow from the diagram surrounding Zhen Liu and into the surrounding jade that he was currently embedded in.

As chunks of Crimson Jade began to float and collide with the "core" in front of him, Zhen Liu began to feel a little sick as for the first time in his life he was actually making use of aether for an art...at least he thought it was. He wasn't sure what exactly was this thing he was doing.

The chunks of jade eventually stopped slamming into each other as they took on a vaguely humanoid shape that seemed to fluctuate in proportion and size.

[With my wisdom, I forge your mind.]

The ring on Zhen Liu's left hand began to glow as he said those words, releasing mysterious fluctuations of aether. A moment later, several art scrolls and an aether formula magically appeared from the ring and flew towards the forming humanoid body. The reading material turning into wisps of energy that fused with the body and forming an aether formula over the core.

Zhen Liu was surprised about the sudden appearance of the literature, but he didn't have time to wonder where they originated from.

He was preparing to say the last line of the mantra before the mysterious voice interrupted him.

"What?"

"Oh...okay."

Zhen Liu thought for a few moments as he quickly looked over the incomplete kaijin in front of him. Once his eyes settled on the formula diagram, he perked up as he settled on a name.

"Got it."

"Right."

[And with my will, I pull your soul from Chaos.]

A hand made of aether quickly manifested in front of Zhen Liu moments before it shot forward and went through the kaijin in front of him.

While Zhen Liu couldn't see where the hand went, he could feel that it went somewhere that was not of this world or any other and take a small portion of something that shouldn't be touchable in the first place.

The hand quickly retracted from this unknown space and deposited the thing it had stolen into the kaijin core. As a result of this sudden addition, the figure's eyes flared to life.

The humanoid figure soon became more and more defined as whatever the hell that hand had deposited within the core caused the aether in the area to go absolutely haywire. Zhen Liu didn't know what was going on, but he knew it was going to be a good.
