Number One Dungeon Supplier

Chapter 1370

Birth Mothers

The smell was enough to capture their souls and as the Birth Mothers craved for proper food, they continued to look at their leader as if for a sign for them to dig in. "Why do you need your leader’s approval to eat? Just go ahead and eat. There is enough for everyone." Jin said as he told the Birth Mother’s leader to meet him after she had her fill.

However, the leader did not and decided to follow him away from the group, knowing that he wanted information about the current situation. While Jin already knew the gist of it from the System’s invasive methods to get information, he wanted to see if the White Demon Rats were perpetual liars since they would not have known that the System had the power to read people’s minds as of now.

"I am Lisa Von Crustfinger. The appointed leader of the Birth Mothers." Lisa introduced herself with a slight bow of her head while her tail continued to lie low on the ground. The System knew that she was lowering her pride to greet Jin as the Demon Rat’s behaviour was to always have their tails up high as a sign of dignity for themselves.

"Firstly, thank you for rescuing us from the Rats of Ruins, our capturers and jailors. Not only that, you have graciously offered us a sumptuous meal right off the bat. I could not be more grateful than I am now." She said while keeping her head down.

"Do not misunderstand, I am doing this for myself. Upon signing those papers, you are now under my rule for the rest of your lives. The least I could do is to make your suffering a knot more tolerable." Jin suddenly sounded like an evil ’kind’ overlord which would cause his other minions to laugh if they were at the scene but for now, his acting was working on Lisa (and that was all that matters.)

"So continue on, don’t let me stop you from telling me your circumstances. And also, stand up, I do not need all these archaic ways of showing gratitude." Jin said.

"Yes, my master. We were running away from the Rats of Ruins mainly because of their incompetence in leaving the keys close enough to where our hands could reach. Despite knowing that we were quite powerless because of the nature of our jobs, they did not expect us to rebel in such a way."

"What job?"

"We are tasked to handle the birth of the new Demon Rats," Lisa answered as she brought out a couple of seeds from beneath her fur and revealed them to Jin, stating that these were the offspring of the Demon Rats.

"User, the Birth Mother concept is an interesting subject which causes even the System to stumble. Imagine a living organism with the ability to grow and proliferate without a sexual partner while having the traits of a plant like wheat." The System commented as it stated that the Birth Mothers were capable of growing new Demon Rats because of the seeds that pop out from the surface of their skin.

"With the current war against you Humans, we are being forced to produce more Demon Rats to accommodate the rising loss of Demon Rats every single minute. They force fed us with supplements and injected us with birth inducing hormones to make sure that we were able to produce more seeds for the clan."

Jin could understand what she was talking about because of the imagery the System had sent him. They were literally a birth machine at this rate just to get the seeds growing not from the soil but from these White Demon Rats’ skin. All of them here had been overworked (or overbirthed) from the major losses that the Demon Rats were receiving. And to his knowledge, there were many others like Lisa and her group of Birth Mothers all over the Undercity.

They were simply lucky enough to have a chain of events that allowed them to escape almost unhindered by the other Demon Rat soldiers. Mainly because of the fact Lisa and the Birth Mothers gave life to these Demon Rats and that they still recognise the pheromones of their mothers, causing them to hold their hand in killing the White Demon Rats.

As for the Rats of Ruins, they were literally lab bred by other Demon Rat scientists, which allowed them to deny the pheromones produced by the Birth Mothers and thus gave them the ability to not only handle them but also restrain the Birth Mothers’ movements. Some of the older Demon Rats even fought back against the Rats of Ruins as the Birth Mothers made their escape and yet it was not enough to resist such elites.

If things had gone differently just by a tad bit, Lisa and the others would not be able to survive the escape and contact the Humans. However, Jin could foresee that the remaining Birth Mothers would not have it easy once the report of Lisa and her White Demon Rats had turned to the Humans for help would be made known.

Stricter enforcements alongside harsher conditions to reproduce more rats? That would spell disaster for the rest of the White Demons but for now, Jin should already be happy or even delighted that he had finally achieved a way to have Demon Rats under his rule. While he was not sure whether the Demon Rats that he would eventually grow would be mainly because of their trait being a type of ’resource’ after death, there was some hope that he could grow an army of his own almost as easily as the current Demon Rats that they were facing.

It was a boon that he hoped to receive but he did not expect it to come in so soon in the Demon Rat War or even in such a manner. Yet, it was still quite a bit of shock that that was how the Demon Rats had been producing these many Demon Rats so quickly after learning about their origins although it made sense.

However, now that he managed to get hold of these Birth Mothers, perhaps the Dungeon Supplier could attack even more indiscriminately since the initial plan was to force the Demon Rats into submission if possible, forming a future partnership with them to rule the Northern Region. The Demon Rats would be Jin’s vassal and he would have lesser stuff on his hands while handling his store and other nonsensical multiverse issues that he had.

But he could throw that plan off the table and be more brutal in his methods. Perhaps try to save the rest of the White Demon Rats if possible or else, continue to do what his minions do best.

Beat the shit out of their opponents.
