Chapter 639 - 415: One Man Slaughters a Thousand (Part 2)
But before he could figure out the problem,
that monster had already appeared before him at the speed of sound.
Under his despairing gaze, the shadow gradually enveloped him.
Bang!!!
A spray of blood exploded.
Another human life lost.
At this moment, Wang Ye had actually recovered some of his sanity.
The recent shot from the electromagnetic railgun had slightly awakened him.
But he still couldn’t control the boiling hormones in his body.
That’s why he became so easily angered, cruelly killing this officer.
"Is this... my body?"
Wang Ye raised his hands, which had transformed into scythes,
and looked down at his body, a trace of confusion appearing in his scarlet eyes.
Before regaining his sanity,
his last memory was the painful recollection of being shot down sixty meters into rock by those five drilling bombs.
And after briefly falling unconscious.
He had already transformed into this terrifying giant beast form,
with hormones in his body in complete disarray,
his sanity flickering like a candle in the wind, on the verge of extinguishing at any moment.
"Could it be... that my survival instinct used Law of Heaven and Earth at the moment of crisis, causing my body to gigantify?"
Wang Ye struggled to think.
Although his sanity had been compressed to almost nothing,
the Divine Attribute that was more than a hundred times that of an ordinary person still allowed him to maintain a thought process close to that of a regular human.
He tried to undo the state of fermentation metabolism and the rapid overgrowth of bones from the Bone Shrinking Skill,
but he found that he seemed to have lost some control over his own body.
Wang Ye realized that perhaps his conscious mind had temporarily lost the ability to control his central nervous system, which caused this situation,
the abilities of fermentation metabolism and Bone Shrinking’s rapid bone growth were both rooted in the control of the central nervous system. If he couldn’t freely control his brain functions and other bodily functions, he couldn’t realize these abilities.
And now, with his sanity compressed to such a minuscule fraction, he naturally couldn’t freely control his brain’s central nervous system.
"What to do... Is maintaining this form the only option?" Wang Ye felt the piercing pain surging throughout his body and the extreme fatigue in his heart, and a wave of despair arose within him.
At this time,
the soldiers who were still alive in the military base,
saw the monster standing there quietly.
One after another, they curiously poked their heads out.
"What’s up with this guy?"
"Has it lost its combat capability?"
"Why don’t you go up and try shooting it?"
"Why don’t you go? You’re asking me to go?"
"Idiot, in this situation, anyone who goes up is dead."
"Then why are you telling me to go, I’ll kill you!"
As the soldiers argued endlessly.
Suddenly, the monster’s body shuddered.
Scaring the surrounding soldiers back into hiding.
"I understand now..." The monster’s throat moved, and its mutated, formless vocal cords produced a strange and terrifying sound, "As long as I exhaust my strength... forcefully stop fermentation metabolism... I can return to normal..."
The principle of fermentation metabolism is quite simple,
it’s about consuming energy to conduct anaerobic metabolism, causing the object to expand continuously.
Just like dough rising.
But if the sugar in the dough runs out?
Wang Ye now had no other way,
he could only think of a way to exhaust his body’s energy and return to his original form.
Otherwise, if he continued to survive in this shape, it would be just a few days before his Life Energy is burned out, and he would die suddenly.
Even though he had the ability to absorb ultraviolet radiation and devour matter, which could provide him endless energy,
as long as the actions and consumption were large enough, the energy can always be depleted.
Thinking of this, Wang Ye turned his attention back to the surrounding base.
Then next... it’s going to be a rousing, satisfying destruction.
··························
··························
At this moment, domestically.
A certain military district.
In an office of a certain base.
"What?" Old Yi stood up abruptly, knocking over the water cup in front of him, spilling steaming water all over the table, "A thirty-meter-tall fierce monster is wreaking havoc over there?"
The officer at the door hesitated slightly and said, "Yes, they have already used the electromagnetic railgun to target the monster, but it can’t stop the monster’s advance at all."
Old Yi squinted and asked, "Where is Wang Ye?"
The officer replied truthfully, "Unknown whereabouts."
Upon hearing this, Old Yi sat back in his chair.
He wiped the waterstains off the table with a cloth,
and tossed the shattered cup into the trash bin.
Then he looked at the newly transmitted satellite photos on the computer.
The scene of that monster wreaking havoc in the base was displayed on the screen.
Under the monster’s terrifying power, their buildings were leveled; even tanks weighing dozens of tons were like toy cars in the hands of the monster, easily thrown hundreds of meters away.
"A monster suddenly appears, and Wang Ye is missing..." Old Yi rested his chin on his hand, pondering. These seemingly unrelated events appeared to have a mysterious connection in his eyes.
According to what he knew about Wang Ye, Wang Ye shouldn’t have bred such a monster. But it couldn’t be guaranteed that Wang Ye didn’t do it behind their backs.
But now, Old Yi’s main suspicion wasn’t Wang Ye secretly breeding monsters.
What he suspected was,
This monster is Wang Ye.
Old Yi quietly stared at the monster in the photo.
Clearly, the monster had nothing in common with Wang Ye.
Whether in height and size, appearance, or style of action, they were entirely different from Wang Ye. This monster could be entirely unrelated to humans, like a monster from an Ultraman TV show; saying it comes from another planet wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
But why did Old Yi suspect that this monster was Wang Ye?
Even he couldn’t clearly answer that question.
It was just his intuition.
"You may leave now." Old Yi gestured for the officer at the door to leave.
After the officer left, Old Yi reopened the photos sent by the laboratory. During the Wang Ye cloning experiment, the lab was constantly sending real-time photos to Old Yi, keeping him informed of the current progress.
So, he was very knowledgeable about Wang Ye’s cloning process and indirectly understood many of Wang Ye’s abilities. The clones with Wang Ye’s genes not only exhibited intense aggression but also intelligence far surpassing ordinary people; even the embryos showed intelligence levels akin to adults.
But none of this mattered much, what puzzled Old Yi the most was the fact that most of Wang Ye’s clone embryos seemed capable of unlimited development... The so-called unlimited development means that as long as the clone embryo is provided with enough nutrients and energy, it can grow rapidly and without limit.
Especially the Experiment No. 03, which, under the deliberate cultivation of several scientists, even developed to a height of over three meters but ultimately collapsed from within due to internal organs unable to sustain its size.
Old Yi dug up the photo of No. 03, the deformed being in the picture, after expanding over three meters, showed apparent mutations in multiple parts, especially in the joint areas, which had sharp bone spurs and exposed muscle fibers. And because it reached a three-meter size in its embryonic stage, it looked rather eerie, having both infant and giant monster characteristics.
Those with slightly weaker psychological resilience might vomit at a glance, but Old Yi remained indifferent, browsing through the images while continuously pondering his hypothesis.
If this unlimited development ability was possessed by Wang Ye as well, then that thirty-meter-tall terrifying monster could very well be Wang Ye.
But what he couldn’t understand was, after transforming into such a monster, could Wang Ye ever revert to his normal human form?
Was it Wang Ye’s intention to live his life in this form?
Let’s not even mention whether he could live a normal life,
whether countries would allow such a monster to freely roam was another issue.
Especially given that Wang Ye had already caused significant damage to the United States military beforehand.
