Chapter 14 by crisdemos crisdemos

The afthermats...

The new reality goddess...

The circumstances that led to Juno Ternion's ascension were very specific. Emily Lockard, Chloe Walker, and Zoe Hildebrand had been willing to merge into one entity. Zoe's and Chloe's love for Emily had led them to give up their individual identities to become an extension of their beloved Emily, altering her on a fundamental level.

Zoe had been designed as a living bodyswit with the ability to alter her outward appearance to that of any woman and fit inside herself any size thanks to her special dimensions. As for her personality, she had developed a certain objectification complex, since when she was being used by a host, her only ability to move consisted of her peculiar compression. Her hosts completely controlled the rest of her movements. She could talk into their ears, of course, but nothing more. Despite everything, she was an optimistic woman and willing to help anyone who needed it, whether it was letting herself be used or in any other way. Her love for Emily had arisen because she seemed to regard the inside-out project as more than just experiments.

Chloe was confident and slightly arrogant. Her slime had allowed her to control each of her hosts since that was her job, to fix the bodies from the inside while Zoe fixed and protected them from the outside. Her personality was extremely domineering and creative, as she needed all of that to perform her functions. She was to use her slime to control all the bodily functions of her hosts and fix any problems there. Fortunately, her biopolymers contained hundreds of redundant neural networks, making her quite literally a walking brain with the ability to alter bodies from within. Emily's personality appealed to her because of how differently the girl thought, and most of all, the fact that Emily could be so much more than just a lab technician if she'd tried, the only obstacle being her lack of self-confidence.

Emily Lockard was just another lab technician. Despite her degree in bioinformatics and her intelligence and ability to think outside the box, she lacked the confidence and self-esteem necessary to improve her circumstances. She had a crush on her best friend, Kazumi Ishida, a colleague who worked at the more technological branch of Hideki labs, but Emily never acted on her feelings due to fear and lack of self-confidence. She also didn't know Dra. Zoe Hildebrand and Dra. Chloe Walker for the same reason, even if she greatly admired them.

The resulting union of those three people had produced a confident and assertive woman, optimistic enough to understand that she could improve her circumstances and position using all the tools at her disposal. Not only did she now have Zoe's and Chloe's memories and personalities embedded in her, but her abilities as well. With her human body as the core, Chloe's slime as the binder, and Zoe's adaptive body as the shell, she was essentially a new super-woman.

The humiliation that she suffered at the hands of Reginald Broox marked Juno forever, and seeing how he treated Lina and Tina didn't help. The bastard had basically abandoned Zoe and Chloe and the purposes of their origins, and he had tried to recreate them with the intention of creating super-soldiers capable of surviving in space.

Lina was basically a group of nanites meant to create all kinds of technological equipment for their hosts. The problem was that she didn't understand human biology, let alone emotions.

Tina was an insectoid exoskeleton. Her mix of tardigrade and insect DNA allowed her to survive in space, and thanks to her internal compression abilities, she could keep a person and a lot of equipment inside her with no problem. Her hive mind made her ideal to be completely directed by Lina. Unfortunately, since Tina did not have a proper understanding of human biology, any human inside her would be smashed.

By joining Juno, Lina and Tina made her even better. Tina learned to properly use her internal compression in communion with Zoe. Lina mixed with Chloe creating an even more powerful nano slime. Juno was now nearly invulnerable, able to survive in space with no problem and her nano slime blurred the line between organic and technological.

Getting the phase binder turned juno's nanite slime into a phase binder itself. He used this ability to merge with an entire fleet of alien ships capable of generating infinite energy and reorganizing matter, among other abilities. This meant that every single drop of her nanite slime would contain Juno as a whole and she would be able to regenerate every part of her. It also meant that when she merged with the empress of the djin, whose power was capable of weaving reality itself, she became a goddess.

Juno had gone further and become reality itself, an ability she used to make Kazumi immortal by making her existence a fundamental law of the universe.

When the three phase binders were activated at the same time, several unpredictable phenomena occurred, fostered by the circumstances of said event and by the different objects and people present around each of the devices.

Due to what they were, the three devices were synchronized with each other, allowing the movement of objects between the three places where one of them had been activated. This left Kelly Lancer as the only person present in reality for a few seconds, and she appeared in Emily's place completely nacked.

This universe had another fundamental difference from Juno's home. The alien species was not genocidal, and certainly very different. All the aliens were connected to their spaceship forming a perfect symbiosis, while each of the ships was equally connected to the others. This meant that each fleet was basically a superorganism whose components were specialized.

Whereas in Juno's universe the sun's radiation had killed the aliens, in this one it had only **** them into hibernation, the fleet unable to adapt fast enough. Having combined with so many different beings, the organism was able to evolve beyond its limits, choosing Kelly as a host, Tina as a shell, and Lina as a reinforcement, calling herself Abby. In a matter of seconds, Kelly's naked body was transformed into a spacesuit packed with never-before-seen technology with currents of exotic matter and energy coursing through it, interconnecting every part, Kelly body and mind now converted into a form of matter and energy thanks to her symbiosis with Abby.

Emilia King had been present in the room where the phase binder was activated. This shouldn't have been a problem under other circumstances, but the geistknight armor made all the difference. This object absorbed into itself the magical curse that afflicted Emilia. While this terrible curse had caused the woman many accidents and injuries, it had also made sure to keep her alive. Without that magic, Emilia's body had multi-organ failure and she passed away in seconds, a curiously karmic fact when you think about it.

The geistknight armor had its own peculiarities. It was created by an ancient sorcerer and alchemist to be his protector. He used metal and stone to create a gargoyle, which he then cursed with permanent statue status as long as it was not needed. The gargoyle would only wake up when he needed protection, for which she received a very basic astral consciousness in the image of the magician himself. As a mockery of the Christian religion of those days, he decided to name his creation after Eve, the Adam's woman. Emilia's absorbed magic was intertwined with Eve's magic, which repaired the armor and the gem that contained her astral consciousness, and allowed her to be active as an armor all the time instead of turning her into a stone statue.

Emilia had used Hala to seize Lilith, an experimental animorph gargoyle created by Hideki Labs. The animorph girl used everything binded to her for multiple purposes. She evolved into a sentient creature capable of symbiosis. She chose Eve as the shell and Hala as the reinforcement, while a now ghost-turned Kazumi was chosen as the fusion core.

As a result of all this, the alien supersuit soon received this new creature as a part of itself. Eve and Tina being the outer shell, Hala and Lina the binder, and Lilith and Abby the base, with Kelly and Kazumi as the cores of the merged entity.

As for Emily, Chloe, Zoe, and Ela, they formed their own symbiotic entity, which became part of the gestalt in seconds. Zoe contained Emily while Emily contained Chloe, with Ela spread out between them. In their new forms, both Kelly and Kazumi were assimilated by Emily, ultimately completing the new symbiotic being. Curiously none of its components objected to taking the appearance of Emily, a much improved Emily however...

What will the new Emily do with her new powers?
