May you do your best for your friends, be prepared as soon as these monsters come at your door

IM READY FOR ANYTHING*HOWLS AND POUNDS HIS CHEST* are you with me Timothy?

Oh my~~ I gotta find one of these lads... Join in on some fun ūwū;

Is it possible for a being already affected by the usual serum of the Malakas project to be infected with this plant? If the answer is yes, what effects would the creature get, after he is already a powerful being.

I could say 'yes'. I suppose there can be a potential of having both the mutated orchid sap and the concentrated muscle growth serum applied altogether, possibly thrice as powerful and dangerous as the Juggernaut itself. However, I decided to have Operation TODESWURM as a darker counterpart, separate from the universe involving the MALAKAS Project. While aggression is tamed down to just juggernauts, sizable wars, conspiracy and in-fighting in the latter universe, one in Operation TODESWURM takes on a zombie-like epidemic approach.

While phases (from Recruit to Soldier to Juggernaut) may be similar in-between, their structure is down to whoever is controlling. The higher-ups and supervisors watching over the project have responsibility in maintaining its hierarchy among Recruits, so as to not only keep even the worst of Super Soldiers under control (or at best disciplined), but to also prevent the project from going loose and disturbing the peace. The mutation line created by the Machthungrig Bloom species is much more chaotic and dangerous, and hence posing a more open threat to the world.

Muscle growth is desire to most in these universes, but peace and order are the biggest manageable priority in every society. Hence, the project's higher-ups and supervisors (in the MALAKAS universe) only want an army of civilian hunks to safeguard their city (and possibly the state of California) from more dangerous threats, and that's a long term plan with myriad of potential risks they're more than willing to take, such a risk also includes giving some Recruits a muscle growth serum just to satisfy their personal goals (whether selfish or not).

The Todeswurm parasites may not be as sentient as the anthro population, but they're aliens stuck in a completely unfamiliar world with no better choice than to hole themselves up inside mountains, and they tend to inject any living thing in their way with their venom out of self-defense, which may result in unforeseen changes in plants. Plants directly mutated by the Todeswurm are more unpredictable, and the Machthungrig (the new species deviated from ordinary orchids) shows up to be the worst.

On the personal note though, the MALAKAS Project takes on a controlled approach with four known stages of every recruit, albeit with liberty of applying additional changes to make distinction, but Operation TODESWURM comes to become more creative with not just monstrous appearances and behavior, but also with more mutations available at the Juggernaut phase/stage.

It must be difficult to move with a muscular body like that, both physically and psychologically.
