With a grin...

Vexus eagerly grabs your armored hand with a large predator like grin.

“To get **** on that pesky little XJ-9 and to regain what I have lost? How can I refuse such a… Attractive offer.” Vexus tells you, her sharp almost dagger-like teeth shine back at you.

“Excellent *snap*” You snap your fingers to summon one of your minions into the room.

As one of your many goblin minions enter the room with a pen and clipboard. Vexus looks at the creature in distaste. Unsurprising considering her overall dislike of anything organic.

“Take Diz an zign.” The goblin says in its broken English as it offers both the clipboard and pen to the former queen.

“What is this… Thing and what is it holding.” Vexus mentions in absolute disgust. The goblin doesn’t really mind, nor care for the former queen’s dislike of him as it just simply stares back at her with a bored look.

“Well to start off that 'thing' is one of my many minions. A goblin to be exact. The thing that he’s currently offering you is your contract of employment.” You explain. At this Vexus can only raise a single rusted metallic brow.

“Contract of employment…” Vexus trails off as she looks at you for a second before turning her attention back to the goblin who still stands there waiting expectantly for the Queen to take the contract and the pen from him.

“Yes, a contract of employment. within, it will detail all of your benefits and your pay. Those benefits will include many things such as health and dental, your living arrangements, your responsibilities, and of course your vacation days.” You elaborate further. Vexus’s reaction is one of mild shock as she soon takes the clipboard and pen from the goblin. Who promptly walks off in another direction, as to return to his original duties.

“Well now… This seems to be a bit of a pleasant surprise. With your barbaric get up, I assumed that you would be an equally barbaric fleshling.” Vexus quips as she begins to skim and quickly fill out the documents. You are unaffected by Vexus’s sharp tongue as you realized when you chose her as your henchman that this would be a consequence.

“You know it’s not exactly professional to call your boss a “fleshling”. However, I cannot find your jab without merit as you are correct. While I look like a barbaric being, if I am to be the leader of an empire I must act as such in both my words and in my actions.” Vexus seems to smile a little bit at your words before she looks up from the contract to face you. Wordlessly you summon a goblin to take her now completed paperwork, to which she does so quickly. Not even breaking eye contact with you for a second.

“Hmm… Interesting. Most fools I worked with in the past would’ve immediately jumped to anger the minute I called them something degrading. Yet, instead, you act with the cool confidence of a king and accept your flaws as they are.” Vexus tells you as there seems to be a look in her eye that gives you with the thought that you may have gone up a couple of notches in her books.

“All beings are flawed Vexus. Whether they be organic or mechanical in nature, those that admit their flaws are a step ahead of rest. They see what they can do to improve themselves and become something greater. Speaking of which it’s time that I summoned your circlet.” You inform the former queen as you turn your attention back towards the pool. At your mental command, the pool begins to spin and create a vortex that feeds into the heart of the dungeon.

“My what now?” Vexus asked quickly in slight confusion. However, that confusion did not last long as she soon hissed at the sight of the blinding light coming from the now swirling dungeon heart pool.

Soon however the light dies off and rising from the waters in which the dungeon heart rested was a small white light. That light soon faded away and as it faded away in its place rested a simple silver circlet that had a rather simple band that was rather wide like that of a headband, and its centerpiece was a large round green crystal.

You smile to yourself as you took in the powerful magical artifact that was known as the circlet of the mind.

However, Vexus was not as happy as she growled in anger.

“Grrr! What was that for! Your little light show nearly blew out my eyes!” Vexus growled as she came close and grabbed onto your metal chest plate as to pull you down slightly to bring you face-to-face with her.

However, you were not intimidated by her reaction is instead of showing fear, you instead would explain why you nearly blew out her eyes.

“Calm down Vexus. I do apologize for that, but it was necessary in order to summon the circlet of the mind over there.” You tell the rather angry fem-bot as you pry her metal talon like fingers off your armor and point to the hovering headpiece. Vexus takes only one look at it before turning her attention back to you, even angrier than before.

“So, you nearly blew out my eyes for that useless piece of scrap!” Vexus yells unimpressed by the magical artifact.

In response, you could only give a hearty laugh at her reaction to the circlet. Which drew both anger and confusion from the Fem-bot.

“What! What’s so funny?!” Vexus demands as she despises the feeling of being made a mockery of.

“-HAHAHa. I’m sorry Vexus. It’s just the thought of someone calling the circlet of the mind a ‘useless piece of scrap’ brings a tear to my eye.” You tell the rather still unamused Vexus.

In response, Vexus crosses her arms and looks at you with a simple expression that the man’s you to explain.

“Right. I forgot you don’t know exactly what this is. Well, the circlet of the mind is an extremely powerful magical artifact. It gives it’s user advanced psychic and telepathic abilities.” You explain as you summoned the circlet into your hand.

“Psychic and telepathic abilities such as…?” Vexus asks in an even tone with a brow raised.

“Well as it stands right now at its current level of power. You could easily skim the outer layer thoughts of others, control and organize a large number of minions, and respawn here if you die out in the field in combat.” You elaborate much to the surprise of the former queen of the cluster.

“That simple-looking trinket does all that?” Vexus asks in slight amazement she looks at the rather plain looking circlet.

“It may look simple now, but once you put it on it will shift and change to match your tastes and your size.” You inform the former queen as you offer the circlet to her.

In response, Vexus gingerly takes it from your armored hand and inspects it for a second as she turns it around in her hands. She looks up at you with a look of questioning and suspicion. You return this look with one of boredom and expectation as Vexus hesitates on putting the circlet on.

Soon however she slowly brings the circlet up to her head and begins to rest slowly atop her metal head. The very second that the circlet touches the top of her head it begins to glow brightly and become encompassed in bright white light. However, it is not just the circlet that is encompassed in this light as Vexus’s body is also encompassed within it.

As quickly as it came the light, it soon disappeared and the end result was plain as there stood Vexus changed by the circlet.

She still retained her original height of 6 foot 4 however, her body was very different now. That mainly being that her mechanical body had changed greatly, as now parts of it looked far more organic than when she originally first arrived.

However, these changes did not apply to parts of her body that went below her knees and her elbows. Those were still retained their original metallic nature, however, they looked more like accessories than actual parts of her body when put into comparison.

Her feet still resembled high-heeled black boots that went up to her knee's and her arms look like they were now encased in what looked to be large green forearm long arm bracers that flared out to resemble her original arms.

However, they were not bulky as they were sleek and not overly large. The largest parts of these new arm bracers would be at where Vexus elbow was and the thinnest would be at the wrist where it looked like it fused in with her new humanlike hands. All this combined to give her arms a very similar cone appearance to her original body with of course the exception being that she had new pure tar black colored hands.

Continuing on with your examination you can see very obviously that Vexus’s body has changed significantly. For one thing, her chest which was once a mockery of an actual human chest has become real as you can now see two full and firm large G cup breasts that were pitch black in color and had large inverted golden nipples whose areola's you could estimate would be about the size of 2 inches.

Moving downwards you could see that the rest of her torso was also a black tar-like color, but what was most interesting was her new midriff as before it was just simply metal pipe. Now however it was still a very unnaturally thin human belly, but not so much as it would be considered anorexic as you could see it actually accentuated Vexus is hips and chest even more with its thin size. As it gave her an unnatural hourglass body type.

Your eyes following even more southward you could see that Vexus is a lower half which was originally just a metal joint area that was made in the mockery of the human. Has actually become a human hips and ass, though completely tar black in color.

Her hips and ass which were once a mockery of the human form have now become a reality as her hips now still retain their unnaturally wide size, but also her ass has become a perfectly large bubble butt the size of basketballs! Your eyes can now see that Vexus’s groin has a human vagina which has a golden hue to it.

Going down to her now flesh like thighs you see that there seems to be a distinction as her thighs still retain the original yellow and green striped pattern from before as the meet at Vexus is hips. However, they seem to accentuate Vexus's basketball sized tar black ass as they help make it stand out even more as they go down to meet her knee-high boots.

“What is this!” Vexus says in outrage which immediately draws your eyes straight back up to her face.

From you here, you could see that Vexus still retained her rather simple faceplate, and her Egyptian headdress of choice. However, now it seems that the headdress seems to move and shine as if it was made from fine silk. However, you easily notice some interesting changes in the headdress as it now had what looked to be a golden crown that now sat where Vexus’s original black prong originally stood. This crown was gold in color and had a large green crystal scarab in the center that had taken the place of Vexus’s original black prong. Scarabs horns stood out most prominently acting as replacements for Vexus’s missing prongs now.

This must be what’s the circlet of the mind has turned into. However, that’s the least of your concern, as you have to calm a panicking queen.

“To be honest I’m not quite sure.” You inform the former queen, in response she looks ready to rip your head off.

“Not quite sure! Look at me! I look like one of those ridiculous animals that Jennifer protects! You better have an explanation as to why I look like this or so help me-!“ Vexus threatens as she prepares to attack you raising a single fist in preparation.

“Calm down. Look I may have an idea as to how this happened.” You say calmly as you tell Vexus with your hands held up. This does not seem to calm the Queen, however, she does not attack. Yet.

“This may have something to do with your body being mechanical in nature. The best I can figure is that the circlet of the mind has altered your body as to make it more compatible with it. As well as repair any of the damages that you may have suffered.” You continued. This seems to calm the former queen slightly as she lowers her fist slowly, however she has not moved from her aggressive stance as she still looks at you with narrow eyes.

“So this is a result of the circlet bonding with me! This is unacceptable I mean look at me!” Vexus states in outrage as she points with one hand to her new breasts which jiggle a little bit in response.

“These things are gigantic! How on earth am I supposed to fight Jennifer like this! How my supposed even go outside like this! If anyone saw me like this, they'd be laughing their heads off! The only thing that makes this worse is this unnatural feeling I’m receiving right now.” Vexus states as she points to her body, before crossing her arms and moving her hands up and down her new humanlike arms. In fact, if you didn’t know any better you’d say that she’s… Shivering.

Hello… what have we here~

Hesitantly you vanish your right gauntlet into your personal inventory provided by the dungeon heart and reach forward to touch Vexus’s arm. As your hand comes into contact with the newly formed body you feel the texture of Vexus’s skin find that it’s exactly like a normal person’s except it’s much more smooth.

Vexus freezes up at the sudden contact and looks at you with rage as she backs away her hand.

“What are you doing!” Vexus screeches at you.

“Testing something. Now, did you feel my hand touch you?” You ask the fallen queen much to her confusion.

“Of course, I felt your disgusting hand touch me!” Vexus yells back in outrage, it seems she still doesn’t understand the importance of the question. So once again you reach forward instead this time moving your hand to play with one of her inverted nipples.

“Tell me can you feel this?” You ask as you brush your fingers in slow get delicate circles around Vexus’s golden areola. In response, Vexus’s breath hitches as her anger is still there however something new is forming in her as you begin to play with her nipple. It seems her breasts are rather sensitive.

“W-What I-is this!” Vexus stutters out in outrage as she doesn’t know how to react to the new feeling she is currently experiencing.

You don’t respond as you begin to toy with the queen's nipple even more as you lightly squeeze her large nipple and use your other to help spread the opening of her nipple even more.

“W-What A-are Yo- Ohhh~” Vexus moans out with her anger dying even more as she starts to give in to this new stimulation that you subject her to.

Hmm… Well now, this seems to definitely confirm that Vexus now has a new nervous system that was installed by the circlet of the mind. Before Vexus probably can feel anything but the hardest of attacks. Now however she could feel everything around her like a normal human being.

With this in mind, you stop your menstruations on the former queen who now looks confused and slightly angry but also… Wanting?

“What. *Pant* Was that.” Vexus pants out confused at the new sensation she was just subjected to.

“That was pleasure. You just felt the experience of pleasure just as you felt the experience of being cold and felt the experience of me touching you. It seems the crown has installed a new nervous system within you allowing you to feel and most likely even taste things like a normal human being.” You explain much to the angey confusion of Vexus.

“What! Are you saying I’m like those weak bodied creature’s now!” Vexus shouts in confused anger as a part of her enjoyed the new experience, while the logical and stubborn parts for mind deemed it as a weakness to be removed. Causing her to be divided about what she just experienced.

At this, you can only shrug your shoulders as you did not really know the extent of sensitive her new nervous system was. In response, Vexus clutched the sides of her head with their hands in screamed in frustration.

“RRAAAAAGHHHH! This is a nightmare! First I get shanghaied into be being someone’s lackey, then I get turned into this weak bodied mockery! I don’t think I can even transform anymore!” Vexus rants at this you raise your brows slightly.

“Are you sure about that?” Your question which causes Vexus to stop and actually think.

A pregnant pause passes as for a while Vexus doesn’t do anything but simply stand there in thought.

Soon however she does react as she begins to focus her mind on creating a new outfit to cover up her new body.

In response, her body begins to shift and form as two large smooth Golden shoulder pads appear on her new shoulders. This is soon followed by a new yellow belly top that compresses her large breasts down a three cup sizes that has the added effect of making her breasts look perfectly round and gravity-defying.

Following after her top came what looked like a long flowing green loincloth made of silk and green beads that formed at her waist preserving her modesty as well as forming an impromptu panties. Loincloth reached down to her knees and looked much like her new headdress as it appeared to be made of flowing silk.

With her new outfit formed Vexus looked down at herself for a second.

“Hmm… It will do. For now anyway.” Vexus grumbles to herself as she barely gives the outfit the ok. Before quickly turn your attention back to you.

“So, now what. I can’t imagine you want me to go after Jennifer like this.” Vexus says snidely.

“You’d be correct in that assumption Vexus. You will need time to adjust to your new body as well as time to grow in power. For which in the meantime we will look at other worlds that are rather weak and undefended and begin our conquest there.” You agree with the former queen as you turn your attention to the dungeon heart pool and command it to bring up several images of new worlds to conquer.

“At least you’re not an idiot like some of the fools in the cluster.” Vexus mentions as she comes close to peer into the pool with you.
