Master of Monster Synthesis

Skull Island, territory of the Vajra Clan.

In the mountains, Little Vajra donned golden chainmail, a Phoenix Wing Purple Gold Crown on its head, Lotus Silk Cloud Shoes on its feet, and a Jingu Bang in hand, walking proudly towards the "home" in its memory.

"Boom boom..."

Now strengthened to Nightmare Five Stars, it stood almost seventy meters tall. Its golden fur shimmered magnificently in the sunlight, and with a slight tremble of its six ears, it could hear the distant "excited" roars of its parents and siblings.

Hahaha, Dad and Mom will definitely be comforted seeing how well I'm doing now.

And my elder brothers, they'll surely be super jealous.

Basking in satisfaction, Little Vajra hoisted the Jingu Bang and grinned widely.

"Boom boom boom..."

"Roar..."

As Little Vajra approached, the ground trembled with an earth-shaking rumble. Two slightly smaller, black-haired King Kongs emerged from the mountains, sprinting madly toward it.

"It's been so long, they must have missed me."

Feeling touched, Little Vajra threw down the big staff, spread its arms wide, and eagerly ran towards its elder brothers.

"Bro..."

Just as it tried to call out, the two King Kongs suddenly bared their teeth and roared fiercely, swinging their fists straight at it.

"Roar..."

"ROAR!!"

"BOOM..."

The ground beneath the King Kongs' feet cracked open as they leaped forward, their enormous fists slamming into either side of Little Vajra's face.

"Bro..."

Little Vajra's cheeks were distorted from the immense force. Spit flew out of its mouth, its eyes filled with disbelief as it fell to the ground in slow motion, dragged down by the two King Kongs.

"Roar..."

"Howl..."

Massive fists rained down like a storm as the two King Kongs roared relentlessly.

Where did this clueless creature come from, daring to mess around in our territory? Must be new here!

Exactly! We were willing to ignore you, but you were so loud that you woke Dad and Mom from their nap. Did you even think about that?

Hmph, don't even think of fighting back. Our dad's the boss around here, so if you want to live, just roll with the punches and consider it over.

Yeah, you're lucky we're at least treating you like a fellow monkey. You should be grateful for that!

Little Vajra was beyond frustrated and close to tears. Though the punches couldn't truly harm it, they still hurt.

"Stop punching me!"

With a quick flip, it effortlessly threw the two King Kongs off and pointed to its own face, explaining, "Stop hitting me, look closely at who I am!"

The two King Kongs stared at each other blankly, then, without hesitation, lunged at it once more.

"Roar..."

You! You can actually talk like a human? You've gotta be one of those human-trained monsters!

So what if you're a trained monster! No matter who you are, you get beaten first when you come here.

That's right. You should count yourself lucky—if Third Brother were here, you'd be done for...

Seeing that his elder brothers didn't recognize him, Little Vajra started panicking. While dodging their attacks, it still tried hard to prove itself.

"Big Bro, didn't you pee in the wetlands as a kid? Remember your little beans got bitten by a swamp giant squid and even got scratched up..."

"Second Bro, remember when you had to take a dump in the mountains? You tricked the dung beetles into rolling your poop into balls and then lied to Big Bro, saying it was a tribute gift of bitter tea from humans, and got him to brew it into water to drink..."

The two King Kongs' faces "changed dramatically" and they abruptly stepped back.

"Roar..."

How do you know this? Who are you?

Little Vajra pointed to itself, "I'm Third Brother! Monkey Brother took me away years ago. Then, somehow, I mutated. Smell the scent on me, you'll know."

Saying this, it raised an arm, exposing its armpit, and fanned it with its hand so the scent drifted out.

The two King Kongs sniffed with their noses, quickly covered their mouths and noses, and exchanged glances, their faces lighting up with surprise.

It really is Third Brother!

Third Brother mutated! He can talk like humans, has six ears—it feels so amazing!

"Roar..."

The two King Kongs roared excitedly, cheering as they circled around Little Vajra with joy.

Suddenly, the eldest brother froze, baring his teeth at the second brother.

Third Brother said you tricked me into drinking water brewed from your poop. Is that true?

The second brother shook his head hurriedly, his eyes darting around, seeking help from Little Vajra.

Little Vajra gestured, signaling that he understood.

Pulling the eldest brother aside, it explained, "Big Bro, you misunderstood Second Bro. That bitter tea made from poop? I swapped it for mine long ago—you never drank his..."

The eldest brother's expression eased for a moment but then turned livid upon hearing Little Vajra's last explanation.

"ROAR!!"

Brat! You swapped Second Brother's poop with yours? Die!!!

Little Vajra bolted, yelling as it ran, "Big Bro, you were the one who said the taste was good—that's why I kept..."

"Roar..."

Shut up already!

...

A short while later, the three big monkeys squabbled their way back home. Little Vajra expected it would have to explain things to its parents.

But to its surprise, the Vajra couple only had to sniff the air to recognize the golden-haired monkey before them as their child.

King Kong didn't fly into a rage about Little Vajra's mutation. Instead, it carefully examined Little Vajra, a hint of envy flickering in its eyes.

It walked to a corner, took out a massive "cigarette," lit it, and took a deep inhale.

"Hiss... Whoosh..."

As smoke curled around, King Kong's gaze turned dreamy, landing on an old poster stuck in the corner.

This was the ultimate dream of their primate monster clan.

Made in cooperation, flourishing on two fronts—the Monkey King...

...

Watching silently, Qin Shou finally relaxed when he saw King Kong wasn't angry and revealed himself to the family.

It turned out that Little Vajra's appearance fully conformed to the aesthetic standards of the Vajra Clan.

That night, the two King Kongs secretly approached Qin Shou, asking about the method to make the Vajra Clan undergo mutation.

Qin Shou enthusiastically demonstrated the mutation process to the two King Kongs.

Just sleep on it!

[King Kong] + [Nightmare Water Monkey] + [third-level water attribute cells] = [Red Bottomed Horse Monkey]

[King Kong] + [Long Armed Ape Monster] + [third-level arm strengthening] = [Long Armed Ape Monkey]

The next day, after discovering they had successfully mutated, the two King Kongs excitedly showed off their strength to the Vajra couple.
