Rebirth as a Xenomorph in the Apocalypse
Chapter 29
At 3:34 PM, when the earth shook, humanity lost the war, looking at the watch on a zombie''s detached wrist, I looked up and saw something legends were written about.
''Why is there a demon in front of me?'' I asked Reziel while crouching in the shadows.
''I have not the slightest clue, maybe it has something to do with the alert telling everyone that a dimensional rift opened up.'' I looked at her shocked.
''Awww, it''s the longest sentence you''ve spoken, come here you adorable thing!''
I guess somewhere in the middle of our conversation, the demon left, leaving several corpses beneath it, half eaten.
''Sigh, what to do, demons are all Tier 2 and above existences, and we have to fight that monster of a being named Ouroboros. Isn''t he the snake that devours his own tail or something?'' I wondered briefly at the intelligence of such a creature when the ground shook.
''Shit, it was safe with the zombies and everything, but now random creatures keep appearing! I need to find a place to evolve!''
I climbed a building nearby, looking down at a parking garage with a few zombies within, and decided to keep climbing.
''Best to be safe, I can get into this building via that window and then evolve in safety.
Then I remembered the scene of Ouroboros slithering away on air, and realized i wasn''t safe in the slightest.
[Ding. The Dimensional Rift has expanded yet again, Otherwordly Races will now appear.]
I looked at the alert and decided to evolve before fighting anything.
''Bring up my evolution page.''
[Ding. Evolution cap met, evolving host, special evolution met, displaying options :
Praetorian : The next step in the Xenomorph evolution sequence. Sacrifices speed for increased defense and attack.
Ravager : A breed of Xenomorph designed for war between species, increases attack at the expense of defense.
Palatine : Not much is known about this particular evolution, except that it makes evolvers increasingly savage and instinctual.]
''You said I got a special evolution, where is it?''
[Ding. Special evolutions :
Princess Xenomorph : A balance of all three attributes to the pinnacle, grants +50 to all stats.]
''You really leave me no choice huh? Why must I become a princess?'' But then I recalled the horror that was Ouroboros and shivered.
''Even if it''s a little bit, I''ll still take it. Increase all stats to max, and evolve my Tier.''

''Damn, what are the stars and what do they do?'' I asked softly in my mind.
[Ding. Stars are the true measurement used to classify strength in the Omniverse, one star is the highest form of measurement, with nine being the highest of the high. Beings with 9 Star ratings grow and develop quicker than normal. Simply put, their geniuses.]
''So my growth potential is weak?'' I asked trying to figure out how to increase it.
[Ding. Host''s growth potential increases with every evolution, the next evolution may raise it to the peak, it may be a randomly dealt hand that decides your talent, similar to gambling that some beings play.]
''Okay, evolve my evolution and Reziel, protect my body, last time I fell asleep.''
''I will, don''t worry.'' Her tail moved side to side, showing her anxiousness.
[Ding. Evolving host into Princess Xenomorph...]
Then darkness greeted me.
...
When I opened my eyes, the world had a strange hint of color to it I''d never seen before.
''Come my child, sit, we have much to discuss and so little time.'' I spun around to find the source of the voice, then my eyes widened and I had trouble focusing.
Her body was so beautiful and tender looking, it hurt just by looking, her features were divine, making her look like a goddess descended to the mortal world.
"Thanks for the compliment, I am not a lowly god though, Ouroboros is a god however, a Heaven ranked one at that, you''ll have quite the struggle before you if you want to emerge victorious."
I realized that she was talking, and tried to talk as well.
"Um, who are you? And why am I here, I was evolving and then I was here?" I looked around, and realized that shapes seemed to stretch and distort as I looked at them.
"Don''t bother trying to figure out where you are, it''s the 4th Dimension, you''ve probably never been here before. Or rather you never have, I''m sure of it." She frowned as she looked over at me.
"Child, I am the one who made you into a Xenomorph, I know you may despise me for it, but it''s your fate to not be human." She said while lifting a glass that appeared to her perfectly sculpted lips.
"I don''t mind the transition, but who are you?" I asked trying to find some common ground, because though she looked delicate as a flower, calling Ouroborus like it''s nothing but a speck of dust.
"I''m Nyx, the Lady of the Night, and you are a human who didn''t want to be one, and a perfect Xenomorph, how about you call me mom?" She said while looking at me with hope filled eyes.
"Eh, no my mother disappeared shortly after I was born so I can-" Wait, if I looked past the divinity the shrouded her, the contours of her face and her hair color, midnight black resembled my own...
"Wait, I know you aren''t who-" She cut me off by placing a hand over her lips.
"Yep, I''m your mom, it''s been a long time son." She said it casually, but the weights that pressed on my chest made it seem as if the world was crashing down around me.
