A tie?

To truly understand what was going on here on a deep and comprehensive level, imagine Gerald the military veteran, trauma and experiences of life and all as a massive wave of water trying to flood into and settle into the area in front of it, now imagine this book of monster girl hentai as a opposing wave of equal size colliding against the opposite wave, the area between they are fighting to fill and dominate, which like a giant sponge will absorb whichever wins. Now imagine that as they collide and fight for dominance of the area between them aka Gerald's mind was causing drops to come off of each wave soaking into the middle. As this fight for control and shaping of the new Gerald continued on he couldn't help but let loose a giggle or a few, their eyes changing shape to show a bit more...amusement? During this struggle the facial expression of Gerald began to look less pained and less like a problem for them, less of a toll on them, their mouth turning into a wobbly expression. The harder the waves tried to overpower each other the faster their essences became one in the territory they fought for, after a minute was the wavy smile, after a half hour their eyes looked even less trained and stress, an hour and they stopped holding their head, two hours and a full grin pervaded their face, after five hours...the strength of both waves had eroded away to nothing, regardless of the original opposing forces was completely and totally gone, having pushed each other past their limits, the process of a new beings having been running smoothly as a result and this failure to go one way or the other would complete the creation.

Both waves fell forward crashing into the territory they fought for, gravity be damned as the entirety of themselves went into the spongey matter, nothing left outside of their new home. The sponge was sopping wet as it took in all that their was of the opposing forces, the book inside Gerald's body having completely and totally disappeared as it has been dissolving the entire time during this struggle until it was gone forever. This led "Gerald" to clutch their head again, their smile turning to a wide toothed grin and their eyes shrank to pin pricks as they let out a a maniacal cackle of a laugh, splitting the skies with the mania fueled echoing sound that night, running people's blood cold and demanding answers from the residents. The citizens went to work on demanding an investigation into the matter, meanwhile zooming back in "Gerald's" mind had grown sick and tired of the struggle, more then eager to absorb and accommodate the newly added material in response to the horrifically painful and ceaseless suffering of the struggle the opposing forces finally ending.

That book was no ordinary book either as one might assume from the last couple of hours of activity, the book had been enchanted to work symbiotically with the slime creating MRE which had also been enchanted to create Gerald the slime and make it to where no matter what he tried he would become a slime girl. The symbiotic nature of the book was made as such to easily overtake the mind of the slime girl, but the people behind this could hardly complain about the results if they were to see "Gerald" in person. This new being was a fusion of two minds, and a slime girl, something that perfectly uses a physical form to reflect their mental state would end up changing to match it obviously and so did such immediately. Up to that point Gerald's slime girl form hadn't a solid and straight color, to busy identifying itself, shifting between colors, and not landing on any stable one. A mess of a semiliquid monster girl, but now, in this new state, embracing the soldier with all of his training and knowledge of things he hadn't explicitly trained in but studied on another, combining with the transformative abilities of a slime girl and their capabilities that transcended any and all other mortals became one new creature.

Something that thankfully had stabilized, that manic laughter at the beginning having been a result of a "overfilled sponge", as the being calmed down their physical appearance took on a fascinating and one of a kind look indeed. The color settled on translucent dark green and whitish cloudy white, these two colors organizing and shape into a camo pattern, a camo-pattern slime girl that was a very dangerous and very lustful being who saw the world as their oyster.
