Trapped

While the monster's tentacles sought to injure Jay in any way possible and he moved to avoid that outcome, changes continued to take place inside his body.

Moving at great speed between bloodstreams and organs, the parasites did not take a moment to rest, continuing their task like diligent workers.

This would not have been possible before because Jay had used the [Overload], which had left them completely dry and with great fatigue weighing on them.

But thanks to the great control of 'Jay' and the new source of energy they had consumed, they were now working at more than 100%.

As to what it was they were working on, it was simple, they were following a design that had been shared with them through the [Mental Network].

A design to change Jay's still mostly human body to one with a better chance of surviving this situation.
