Well, after some more time passed and both my prisoners got familiar with their surroundings of their prison cell, they began to be bored. Like if you have too much time and zero to do, and....
... oh, my conciseness is whole again. Good damm, I remember everything! Where I am what I did and how stupid I was compared to now.
After my body on Earth got to sleep, I had woken up as a little cluster of Myzelium on a dead colonial world. Probably because the original Fungi escaped the ruined buildings. After I took over the Fungi, I thought long and hard about what might happen to my body. If it was dead good, I would be sad not to see my family again, but they would die anyway, so going bevor them is probably less sad than going after them.
As for the handful of friends my old body had. Well, I'm not concerned at all about them they would manage just fine.
After my thinking period was over and I began to gather biomass, minerals, and genetic blueprints. And after gathering and growing on that planet, eventually expanding outwards, I got the first clue about the differences between this reality and my previous one.
This reality supports the power of the mind like a true psychic, which would grow, expanding along with my root systems. And after stealing some genes from other psychic beings, even stealing beneficial genes from everyone I processed. Well, as a Myzelium being, I am closer to meat than I am to plants anyway, so I have enough genetics blueprints to do whatever I want.
Well, the silver streak across all that is to be me again, instead of just a hull steered by instincts and desires. If I hadn't just woken up from three Millennium of degeneration and plundering of genetics codes, biomass, and minerals, i might still be doing it.
Cause I might enjoy Hording stuff. Like better to have than to need, and after 3XX something years of growing and taking stuff into my warehouses, I probably could build a small moon with all of that. But just taking an already formed planet is way cheaper... and if these planets are already terraformed even better.
Well, now that I'm me again, it's time...
My thoughts got interrupted. It seems that the Krystall conciseness of the abbonden Krystall Hive tries to probe my conciseness. It has grown and evolved from pure logical processing to being confused about what purpose it now holds.
I probably should invite his psychic conciseness inside my own mind realm, I got my conciseness back, and it has no more connections back to the Other Krystall Hive. It should be fine.
After extending an invitation to enter into my mind realm, it surprisingly accepted and entered.
My mind realm after reconstruction was nothing like bevor, the old one looked like a sunny day on green meadows with a lake, and now it's more like a picture of my own overgrown planets. Like my own Galaxy inside my mind filled with all my root planets, which are my physical anchors.
After creating a neutral meeting spot above the Planets inside my mind space, I willed the New Krystalls conciseness over to meet me.
After a very lengthy conversation between the two of us about what it should do now and about life itself, and many other things, we were disrupted by another conciseness. And to oure surprise, it was the Devourer who had also upgraded its own conciseness, wanting to know how to handle its newfound self.
After another lengthy explanation of how why and what to do, I got the feeling that they may need to experience the society of other self-aware sentient beings.
Then the question's about what they are now I had to come up with with two new names for each species, which was a lot harder than anticipated. But after another round of suggestions and questions, we got some usable names for the two of them.
The separated Krystall Hive got the name Sentient Krystall Conciseness, and the Devourer got the new species named High Devourer. After that was finished, we only had to give them personal designations or names.
That took longer than all the other conversations we had, and while we're at it, the little thief died of, and only the mixed blood remained inside my root chambers.
I took the dead body and changed the message on the wall into "Choose one. 1. Return with you mixed bloodline and mostly 10 years of life left. Or 2. Become my kin and gain a nearly immortal conciseness with a fully customisable body, which is not limited by lifespan. Choose. "
As for the thief's body, I finally got to remodel the existing genes and "Upgrade" His corpse to become a semi independent carrier for me. After removing useless flesh and reworking the bones, I got a nice internal frame for my new "Body". After that was finished, I began wrapping the skeleton with my roots, creating a two meter tall body.

The separated Krystall Hive got the species name Sentient Krystall Conciseness, and the Devourer got the the new species name High Devourer. After that was finished, we only had to give them personal designations or names. Of course, after asking what gender they are, the high Devourer was a male, and the sentient Krystall conciseness needed an explanation about the whole gender thing. And after the explanation, it just copied my chosen gender, female.
That took longer than all the other conversations we had, and while we're at it, the little thief died of, and only the mixed blood remained inside my root chambers.
I took the dead body and changed the message on the wall into "Choose one. 1. Return with you mixed bloodline and mostly 10 years of life left. Or 2. Become my kin and gain a nearly immortal conciseness with a fully customisable body, which is not limited by lifespan. Choose. "
As for the thief's body, I finally got to remodel the existing genes and "Upgrade" His corpse to become a semi independent carrier for me. After removing useless flesh and reworking the bones, I got a nice internal frame for my new "Body". After that was finished, I began wrapping the skeleton with my roots, creating a two meter tall body.
After some more thoughts, I made the body with also with a female appearance and gave it the most basic organs I would need to enjoy myself. Like a working tongue as well as eyes and a pair of ears a nose, and of course, human female reproduction organs.
I mean, I won't be using them the same as Humans because my own reproduction is far superior, but for enjoyment, it should be sufficient. The tit's I made for myself contain my own nutrition solution to keep the body in good shape, I even build a processing pool in where the stomach and the intestines would be. So the body could restock on its own, like a food converter.
Then I put fine roots over ist exterior to finish it. If I had to rate the looks myself, I would give it a solid 9/10. The results were good. I mean milky white smooth skin coupled with very light blond hair from very fine roots, additionally big firm tit's that are not bound by gravity. Coupled with a small waist and wide hips, this body could probably be a model back where I'm from. Well, the eyes would probably be disturbing. After all, they aren't really used for perception of my surroundings, so they are just white orbs.
After finishing the body, I put a black root dress on and a nuclear Shroom cap as a hat, as precautions. If this body ever gets captured, I can just blow it up and eradicate the kidnappers.
And while the mixed blood chooses, I finally came up with two names for the other two. The High Devourer would get the Name Drevon, I know I know. And the Sentient Krystall Conciseness got the name Sental.
After asking if they both like their new personal identities, they accepted surprisingly fast. Well, maybe I should just adopt both of them, I mean, it's partly my fault that they changed...
Oure, mental conversation got interrupted by my prisoner. His choice was, kinda obvious, as he chose the second one. Even if he didn't know that I have my sense of selfe back, at least he kinda knows that after such a long time away he was considered dead anyway by his society, hes smart at least.
I got his conversation quickly done, his conciseness got safely stored inside my roots, and his body got the same makeover as the other one im using. Well, he kept his face, long ears, gender and his bones, but the rest got swapped.
While his body got the overhaul, I checked his conciseness and made a backup while browsing his memory. And I found some interesting things inside. For example that the yearly crisis conference and its new weapons demonstration are not that far away, in both time and distance.
Before his conciseness returned to his body, I prepared a place between my roots for his conciseness to become a part of me. Only with some minor adjustments to his free will, of course, like not deliberately hurting you're own species and not forcing others to convert into oure species. Very reasonable things like my will is the law and listen to the roots you grew from.
And now that he understands his new place, I guided his conciseness along the roots back into his body, which would remain his, until I have to emergency overide his body. Well, he can keep his name Hontall and his other memories and such.
We're gonna crash that conference, and we're going to make an amazing first impression. After some quick information exchange, I convinced Drevon and Sental to come along.
This is gonna be great.
