Reincarnated as a chicken

Overlord

Minerva had finally calmed down and could think rationally. Although when she lost her rage she became a somewhat mindless beast, she was by no means stupid. She had been told about the king of the forest, Larm.

The creature that had single handedly created this forest to protect various species. The being that created a creature powerful enough to destroy an entire nation by itself. The existence known as god amongst most of the creatures in the forest. That very being now sat in front of her.

She would have to admit that Larm was very beautiful and she exuded a divine presence that was suffocating. Such a being would have nothing to do with a simple Hob-goblin. Which is why the words that came out of her mouth were all the more unbelievable.

"Y-you want to make Minerva, your child?"

Larm nodded with a pleased smile on her face.

"Of course as a child of mine it would also become your responsibility to protect this forest in my stead."

"Huh? But Minerva isn't strong-"

"Hmph. I have no weak children, Minerva. I've been watching you ever since you were born so I know the true depths of your strength which you haven't even began to touch. Also as a child of mine, you will acquire a boost in power."

"... What if Minerva refuses?"

"Hmmm? Then I guess the West side of my forest will be destroyed."

"West side destroyed?"

"Ah? Why yes. Humans will be attacking this forest as soon as possible. I'd say, at most in an hour's time."

Minerva shuddered when she heard that. No, she knew that was the least of her worries when she saw Larm's smile. She shuddered when she saw that smile on Larm's face. Although radiating a godly presence, that smile suggested wickedness. She had a feeling Larm was at work behind the scenes and she was also just a part of Larm's master plan. Still, she could never forgive the humans who killed her only friend.

"... Minerva accepts."

"Splendid!"

Larm snapped her fingers and plants that had trapped Minerva broke of and a wooden cup formed in her hand. She then cut her finger and a tiny drop of golden ichor dropped into the wooden cup.

"Now drink this."

She gave the cup to Minerva. Minerva drank it without asking any questions. When she did, she felt something explode within her. This was because her limiters were being shattered. She roared in pain for a moment, but then stifled it down. After a while, the pain completely vanished and Minerva could feel new power flowing through her body. The golden ichor had completely fused with her body, now Minerva was no longer completely mortal. She was now something like a demi-god, but not quite. More like a mutated being even more so than what a mutant she already was. T

"Now go my child. Rain hell on the foolish humans who dared to set foot in my forest even after my warnings!"

Larm had already disappeared, and that last sentence echoed in Minerva's mind for some time.

After an hour, the human adventurers made it into the forest. They had all gone towards Minerva's cave, led by the woman who claimed to be from the Dhijan Nation. When they got deep into the forest, the woman had disappeared and all the adventurers heard something in their heads.

"I applaud you imbeciles for becoming my new child's first achievement. To those of you lucky enough to survive this upcoming massacre, spread the news of the 5th Tyrant!"
