2nd Awakening - Hydra

It wasn't enough.

At some point, the girl began to feel herself stagnate.

The relic no longer revealed anything new.

Her research had also come to a halt.

What she gained instead were shards of memories too fragmented to reassemble, skull-splitting headaches, and strange, unrelenting ringing in her ears.

They frightened her.

Accept us.

Keep using Deformer.

This is the path you wanted, isn't it?

Amid the surging pain and mounting dread, voices could be heard.

It was, unmistakably, her own voice.

No matter how wildly she swung her weapon, no matter how fiercely she resisted, the voices would only pause for a while, but they would always return.

In fact, they were becoming clearer.

"Kya hah! Kya hah hah hah hah!"

She burst into laughter, maniacal and fierce.

How ridiculous it all was!

From the very beginning until now, it had always been about Deformer, and now, some imitation of her own voice dared to remind her of that?

To think she'd hesitated here, over something like fear.

The girl grasped Deformer.

"Fine. If that's what you want, I'll use it as much as you like!"

Deformer activated.

As if answering her call, it took on a new form.

The girl - another girl - and yet another - watched as the Deformer took on its new form.

Revealed… by Deformer... the relic-

Wait. Girls?

Something's not right.

I was the only one here, wasn't I?

Kya hah! Now, there's two of me - no, more than that!

Like some kind of monster with too many heads.
