When the Reverse Mutant showed Saine a measure of affection,
the few level five and six Alien Beasts following behind her trembled, too frightened even to look up.
Although the Reverse Mutant was extremely isolated within the Alien Civilization,
the pressure she exerted on lower-level Alien Beasts was several times greater than that of the other Dominator-class Alien Kings!
It was second only to the Alien Queen's oppressive control over ordinary Alien Beasts.
And the other Dominator-class Alien Kings probably did not shun and reject the Reverse Mutant solely because of the Empress's bloodline within her.
Fear of her likely played a part as well.
Aside from the Alien Queen, Saine was the only one who could stroke the Reverse Mutant's body without sending her into a frenzy.
No one could say exactly what Saine had become to the Reverse Mutant.
Not even the Reverse Mutant herself knew.
For now, her desire to draw closer to Saine was mostly instinctive.
While stroking the Reverse Mutant's head, Saine noticed the mechanical exoskeleton device along her spine.
This device primarily amplified the explosive strength of the Reverse Mutant's waist.
The fierce fighting had severely damaged this mechanical enhancement device. Only the section connected to her buttocks remained, and even that could barely function.
The Reverse Mutant really was frugal in this regard.
Even with the mechanical device in such a battered state, she could not bear to throw it away.
Saine let his hand move down the Reverse Mutant's back toward her buttocks.
After squeezing that piece of machinery, Saine said, "I'll make you a better one the next time I run experiments on you."
"As it happens, I've recently acquired quite a few top-grade raw materials," Saine added.
Saine's touch on a sensitive spot made the Reverse Mutant's face flush crimson.
