Chapter 261: Two Hydras

"How long are we here? We don't see any information regarding our species in your memories, that means we're either extinct in this world or we came from somewhere else, another world" the blackhead was spot on. The other two heads immediately turned their gazes towards the blackhead after they heard its words.

"As far as I know, three thousand years"

"How can you tell?" The silver head which inherited Abras's personality asked Michael.

"Can we really trust this three-headed beast? Or are these three beasts in one body? I'm confused"

"Oh I have a question too," the white head said,

"Why don't you shut up? ouch!"Michael flicked the white head before Gaya started a fight with it again.

"I swear to gods i'm gonna crush this little shit"

The blackhead moved towards the white head, headbutting the white head to make it shut up.

"You're hitting yourself, you idiot" the white head rebuked after getting headbutted by the blackhead. Regardless that they were just born, they began to fight like siblings.

Michael waited for them to finish fighting between them while Gaya came to his side.

"Let the man speak" the silver head broke off the fight by putting its head in between them. After a few seconds, all three heads turned towards Michael.

"Your species are called Hydra. I don't know where you came from but the blackhead is right, you're not a creature of this world"

"Then how did we end up here?" the silver head asked,

"My guess is three thousand years ago, an organization called the Order of the Death found you and built this pyramid to keep you safe"

"Safe from what?" the white head knarred its teeth. The silver head looked worried while the blackhead did not show any changes on its face, it remained calm and collected.

"Probably from the Guardians"

"Do you know about the Guardians?" Michael asked the hydra.

"No," said the white head.

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the novel35.COM website.

"Then we have a lot to talk about but first, you three should know the situation you're in" the hydra may have been born just a couple of minutes ago, but after a few interactions with it, Michael could tell it has the mental capacity of a full-grown human already. Even Nightmare wasn't as intelligent as the Hydra when Michael took him in.

"The organization that saved you is no more but their enemies, Guardians. Now, they are one of the most powerful organizations in this world. Anything remotely related to the Order of the Death is considered evil by them. So on top of you guys are extraterrestrial, your history with the order is enough for the Guardians to hunt you down and kill you, that's the best case"

"You hear that? That's the best case" Gaya devilishly chuckled looking at the white head,

"Now tell them the worst case"

"The worst case is three spend your lives in some torture room where they would do all kinds of experiments on you. You have three heads, so use your imagination"

He stopped talking for a moment to let everything sink into them. It was logical for them not to trust him completely. However, Michael had his ways to make all three heads trust him.

"Lucky for you guys, we share the same enemy, the Guardians and you three happen to inherit our personalities"

"Wait what?" His last words wiped off the smile on Gaya's face.

"Haven't you noticed? The white head inherited your personality"

"Are you kidding?" both Gaya and the white head asked him at the same time.

Meanwhile, the blackhead and the silver head stared at each other before turning their gazes at Michael. First, they wondered whether what he said about the white head inheriting Gaya's personality was true or not. Secondly, if what he said was true, they wondered who among the two of them inherited Michael's personality.

"I want to ask how you know this but I'm not gonna do that. Like always, I'll just trust you"

"Let me guess, you're not gonna tell us how you know about us when there are no other species of our kind in your world" The blackhead saw Michael nod.

"It's not important how I know. What's important is, you three are connected to us"

For a few seconds, the blackhead and the silver head focused their gazes on Michael. The white head however locked in a staring contest with Gaya. Times like these made him question Gaya's maturity level. It was like her inner child is still alive and well. First, he saw her bicker with Nightmare constantly, and now, she locked horns with the white head.

"If what you're saying is true, who inherited your personality, you or him?"

"Both. you don't have to completely believe me. We're gonna suspend some quality time together and you'll come to realize the truth behind my words" The two heads looked at Gaya and the Whitehead.

Michael then took out the artifact he got from Nightcrawler,

"Do you recognize this? Or know anything about it? This is what led us to you" Finally the white head took its gaze away from Gaya. The three heads moved towards the artifact, studying the artifact.

"Hey, I can sense some familiarity with this"

"Me too"

The Silver head and the white head whispered to each other.

"Are we gonna trust these humans?"

Michael or Gaya couldn't hear them as the hydra's voice was way below the frequency of the human hearing range.

"You see another way? We were just born and we still don't have enough information about this world to survive. He was right about one thing, this world doesn't have another one of us, so it's likely that someone would try to capture and experiment on us" the blackhead spoke as the silver head nodded in agreement.

"They seem okay and trustworthy to me. After all, if it wasn't for them, we wouldn't even have been born"

"So what do we do?" the white head asked the other two. The silver head turned its gaze towards the blackhead.

"We have to be with them until we know more about everything"

The three of them agreed with a nod. Until they learn everything there is to know about their species and this world, they decided to live with Michael.

After deciding, they looked back at the artifact in front of them again.

"One of my kind" suddenly the three of them heard a voice inside their head.

"Good….very good" the three of them felt an intense pain inside their heads. They tried to shake the pain away but every single word the voice uttered increased the pain they were feeling.

Michael sensed the artifact in his hand slightly tremble. A couple of seconds after he felt the tremble, the three heads began to bang their heads with each other in pain.

"Something's happening"

Gaya quickly yet gently took the hydra from Michael's palm.

[The system has found another hydra trying to establish a telepathic connection with the three heads!]

[The system recommends the host destroy the artifact immediately!]

"Ah!"

"Get...out...of...our...heads!" the tiny hydra screamed. This time they heard its scream loud and clear. He tried to crush the artifact but no matter how hard he tried, he simply lacked the strength to crush it.

"Death Range" the surroundings immediately darkened, almost pitch black. Gaya could see the literal fire in his eyes burning brighter and brighter.

Crack!

The artifact produced a cracking sound under his crush. Soon, more cracks formed on its surface. He couldn't know the exact extent of his power inside the death range after absorbing the First energy radiated from the hydra egg. Yet, he could feel his raw strength at least multiplied by three times.

Finally, Michael crushed the artifact into pieces. But the moment he destroyed the artifact, a monstrous shout echoed through the empty halls.

"How dare you!"

The entire pyramid trembled violently as dust and stone pieces from the ceiling began to fall down. Large cracks formed in the walls as well as the ground beneath them. For a moment, they thought the floor was gonna split open. It was a frickin earthquake on the level of Richter 9.

Quickly Michael and Gaya flew upwards to escape the pyramid. They didn't want the pyramid to fall on their heads. Soon, the light surrounded them to teleport them outside.

When they came outside, they saw large cracks running through the outer walls of the pyramid. The hibernating undead army had long awoken by the earthquake. The ground cracked open in several areas as many undeads fell into the cracks.

"No no no" Micahel was afraid of the pyramid crumbling down into dust. He just found a perfect base in the Southern Continent, he would hate for it to be destroyed before he could even use it for a single day.

"Are you guys alright?" Gaya asked the hydra in her hand. The three heads slowly rose up.

"Here take this, you'll feel better"

"What is...it?"

The silver head ignored the black head's quest as it already opened its tiny mouth wide open to let her pour the healing potion into its mouth. Fortunately, after a few minutes, the earthquake stopped and everything remained as it was except for the several cracks on the ground surrounding the pyramid and on its surface itself.

Blackhead and Whitehead felt their pain ease up after the Silver head drank the potion. They were able to take a few deep breaths after the earthquake stopped.

"It seems you guys already made another enemy"

He said, looking at the three heads,

"That might another hostile hydra"
