Abbot and Dagon

Before long, the nutrient fluid in the glass jars began to drain away. The Angel Cockroaches' bodies were exposed to the air, and the shells on their bodies began to harden. Then, the glass covers descended.

The tallest and strongest Angel Cockroach opened its eyes, revealing eyes like black holes, devoid of any discernible emotion.

"..."

The powerful Angel Cockroach turned its head, indifferently observing everything around it. Then it raised its hands and feet, adapting to its body. The next moment, it stopped moving and transformed into a phantom, abruptly appearing before one of Uchiha Brahman's Shadow Clones.

Its towering body was almost taller than Uchiha Brahman himself.

Uchiha Brahman stared impassively at the Angel Cockroach. The Angel Cockroach stared back at him without expression, tilting its head.

The next moment, the Angel Cockroach knelt down and prostrated itself on the ground.

"Praise Brahman!"

A cold, deep voice emerged from the Angel Cockroach's mouth.

"Praise Brahman!"

"Praise Kind Father!"

"Praise President!"

Soon, all the Angel Cockroaches that had emerged from the glass jars prostrated themselves, offering devout praise to the great Brahman, their creator.

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

Uchiha Brahman's Shadow Clones burst into wild laughter again. Then one clone crouched down and looked at the strongest, most robust Angel Cockroach kneeling before him.

These Angel Cockroaches possessed reproductive abilities. They were an entirely new race, a supreme lifeform created by Uchiha Brahman using cockroach genes as a foundation and, out of laziness, drawing upon some genes from other creatures.

They possessed powerful adaptability, terrifying strength, and chakra comparable to that of the Tailed Beasts. Most importantly, they were a race, one like humanity. What did that mean?

It meant these Angel Cockroaches could reproduce.

"Rise, my child!"

Uchiha Brahman patted the Angel Cockroach's head, then personally sent it onto the operating table to begin the final modifications.

Mechanical prosthetics installation. Cybernetic enhancement.

Before long, a cybernetic Angel Cockroach appeared. It wore a nanomechanical battle robe and wielded a golden chakra laser sword shaped exactly like a monk's staff. Miniature nuclear fusion functional organs had been installed inside its body, along with electronic eyes equipped for full-spectrum data scanning and all manner of super technology.

"Praise Brahman!"

The cybernetic Angel Cockroach gripped its monk's staff and wore a kasaya as it stood before Uchiha Brahman. Raising one hand, it offered devout praise.

"Excellent!"

Uchiha Brahman nodded as he looked at the cybernetic Angel Cockroach.

"You shall be called Abbot!"

He raised a hand and patted Abbot's body.

"Praise Brahman!"

Abbot nodded and offered devout praise. After receiving the modification surgery, Abbot's strength soared once more.

At the same time.

"Dagon. You shall be called Dagon! Ha ha ha ha!!!"

Inside a massive Laboratory stood an incomparably tall creature. Dark cyan scales covered its body, while a blind, idiotic, grotesque fish head grew from its neck. Muscles as hard as rock heaved with the monster's breaths, and a massive dorsal fin rose from its back like ocean waves.

Simply looking at it gave one the sensation of facing an abyss, or hell itself.

Deep One: Dagon.

"Roar! Praise Brahman!"

"Praise Kind Father!"

One powerful and grotesque Deep One after another, each with a fish head and humanoid body, knelt on the ground. They looked incomparably savage as they devoutly praised the great Brahman.

The Deep Ones were powerful, long-lived creatures. Cognitive interference genes had been edited into them. A powerful Deep One merely needed to exist for mortals' perceptions to become distorted, driving them mad.

Uchiha Brahman had created this supreme lifeform by gathering the genes of various fish, then adding a little of his own creation and modification.

And Dagon was the leader of the Deep Ones, the name of the strongest Deep One.

Rat Superman—or rather, Super Rats—Angel Cockroaches, and Deep Ones. These were the three intelligent races Uchiha Brahman had created from scratch since arriving in this world. They were super lifeforms that did not lose to humanity in reproductive ability, strength, or intelligence, and even crushed and surpassed humanity.

Mount Myoboku.

Bzz bzz...

A large black mosquito flew slowly along. Suddenly, a pink tongue shot out, stuck to the mosquito, and retracted into a giant Toad's mouth.

"Croak!"

The giant Toad croaked once, then hopped away.

Bzz bzz bzz~

Rustle, rustle~

A large number of mosquitoes, cockroaches, and other insects flew out from the shadows and gathered together.

Deep within Mount Myoboku, inside the temple where the Great Toad Sage resided.

He was a gigantic orange Toad with loose skin and tightly shut eyes. A string of prayer beads hung around his neck, set with a light purple cat's-eye gemstone bearing the character for "oil." He wore a black doctoral cap and looked exceedingly kind and benevolent.

At that moment, the giant Toad was resting when a scarlet, blood-red scene suddenly appeared in the Great Toad Sage's mind. Countless squeaks of rats followed. All of Mount Myoboku was surrounded by innumerable rats, which had appeared from nowhere and were gnawing away at everything on Mount Myoboku.

At the same time, the future became blurred, as though something had shrouded the future of the entire world. The original destiny had changed.

The Child of Prophecy had vanished!

No, he had not vanished. Something had concealed him—something as terrifying as a natural disaster, as horrifying as an abyss.

"Croak!"

The Great Toad Sage opened his eyes and let out a pained cry.

"Something's happened!"

Before long, a group of Toads rushed over and surrounded the Great Toad Sage.

"A catastrophe has occurred. Destiny has changed drastically. Mount Myoboku is finished!"

The Great Toad Sage looked at the Toads present and spoke solemnly. Then he told them everything he had seen.

In a corner of Mount Myoboku, countless cockroaches gathered together to form a summoning array. The next moment, enormous amounts of chakra surged from their bodies. Then rats poured out like erupting seawater.

"Squeak squeak squeak~"

The rats' cries surged like a tide. Then one gigantic rat after another emerged from the Rat Nest.

These rats began crazily attacking every living creature before them.

Elsewhere, the giant Toads of Mount Myoboku were still discussing something, debating the crisis foretold by the Great Toad Sage.

Suddenly...
