Ghazghkull's eyes snapped open. The temperature of his skin began to soar, and his powerful muscles expanded and contracted rhythmically, as though breathing. With a low hum, the armor vents on his back slowly opened.
"Hiss-"
A thick cloud of deep green gas, glowing faintly, erupted from Ghazghkull's body like a high-pressure fountain.
This was no mere gas. These were ultra-concentrated Krork spores, carrying perfect genetic information from the pinnacle of evolution!
The green spore storm spread at an astonishing speed, covering the entire Scrapyard in moments. The hundreds of thousands of Orks sprawled on the ground inhaled the concentrated Krork spores without the slightest warning.
At that moment, a terrifying biological transformation began.
"Aaargh-"
A scrawny Boy in the front row suddenly let out an agonized scream. He dropped the scrap metal in his hands, clutched his head with both hands, and rolled on the ground in pain.
Only a few seconds later, the screaming stopped.
Amid a barrage of cracking bones, the spine of this severely hunched Boy, who had stood only 1.8 meters tall, was brutally forced straight, as though stretched by an invisible force!
He grew visibly taller: 1.8 meters, two meters, two and a half... only after passing three meters did he stop growing. His formerly loose green skin rapidly tightened, becoming a tough, dark green hide. The muscles beneath swelled like inflating balloons, weaving together into slabs of perfect muscular armor as hard as steel.
But that was not the most frightening part.
The most frightening change took place in his head. His formerly flat, backward-sloping skull began to expand outward, and his brain capacity multiplied several times over in barely a dozen seconds.
When the reborn Boy opened his eyes again, the small red eyes once filled with brutality and stupidity were gone.
