122. Maggot
Getting rid of the pyer mi and identity is not a shameful thing; instead, it opened up Li Aozi's thinking.
Li Aozi knew very well: Blue Star did not have the soil and enviroo nurture anything beyond Gamma level, just like dinosaurs couldn't grow too big in a low-oxygen enviro and had to bee poultry-sized.
Creatures aren't stupid; growing too tall and heavy would only crush them uhe p's gravity.
The birth of the extraordinary is also limited by the enviro.
In an ordinary civilization, without a suitable enviro or fag severe disasters, if there were raordinary beings in the species, geiheritance would break off.
But the upper limit of araordinary being is locked by the enviro from the start.
Civilizations that 't evolve a magiatural worldview 't produce 【Mages】, and elementals without a geic mutation basis 't produce 【Mutants】.
Simirly, Blue Star, whether in oxygen tent, knowledge level, or energy reserves, is not enough nor necessary to produce a powerhouse beyond Gamma level.
However, the long, dark night does not mean that there will never be a fleeting fsh of brillia the energy level.
《Biohazard King-kong》 is undoubtedly that fsh of brilliance.
The professor, relying oag of Omega Energy, paid a great price, even abandoning her future path, to obtain the mighty body of 《Biohazard King-kong》.
versely—if all this Omega Energy is extracted, its tier will iably drop.
This is the only way to defeat it.
"Your calcutions are off."
《Biohazard King-kong》 was arrogant and ptuous like a god, spreading its arms, golden light flickering all over its body, while tless viral fumes spread from within.
"I knew long ago that you could absorb Omega Energy. But your body is still that of a mortal, uo tain muega Energy—7, 3+4, only a total of 7 Omega Energies, that's your limit."
"Nodeli died from weakness, Anna died from greed, and you have both, so you are bound to die."
The golden light shining like a vajra Buddha, bined with the viral fumes, pletely trapped Li Aozi inside 《Biohazard King-kong》's body.
Neural tentacles rapidly shuttled through 《Biohazard King-kong》's flesh, siphoning life energy and Omega Energy.
【Omega Energy extracted from target】: [Enting Pouch]
Crushed.
【Omega Energy extracted from target】: [Blood trol]
Crushed.
【Omega Energy extracted from target】: [Rational Interference]
Crushed.
【Omega Energy extracted from target】: [Hormone trol]
Crushed, crushed, crushed!
【Your ability pods are now full of Omega Energy.】
【You promote its evolution by repeatedly abs the same Omega Energy. You also choose to crush the geic sequence of this Omega Energy to feed it to other Omega Energies.】
Crush—absorb!
"Ugh—ugh ah ah ah ah—"
Li Aozi vulsed all over, his body crushed by the geic impact at the gene level, the base pairs inside him shattered by the overwhelmiic sequences.
His pupils rapidly disied, other people's eyes and colors fshing in his vision.
The ability pods were a low-level mutation, iably carrying tless traits wherag Omega Energy...pared to the load of Omega Energy, this would cause a plete reje rea from others.
Although the Omega Energy in the ability pods wouldn't geically burden him, the traits and gene fragments carried over caused him immense pain.
The geic sequence flooded his geic defenses like a torrent, his immune system raising arms instantly. Li Aozi's body temperature soared, his immune system perceiving it as a virus and fn cell invasion, instinctively raising the temperature to kill everything.
【Mutants】 withstand a maximum body temperature of 110°ethiher extraordinary beings do in the early stages.
These were tolerable—these could be endured.
The real problem was the series of reje reas causing his white blood cells to rapidly stop and die. Soon, he felt blood p from his mouth and nose, and different people's low whispers and fearful wails mixed in his ears.
Omega Energy is the maion of the soul's traits on genes, carrying the host's personality, memories, and soul fragments, especially sihey were fused with 《Biohazard King-kong》. Each person was in severe physiological torment.
Eaega Energy carried some degree of pain, 948 in total, accumuting and causing Li Aozi to vulse.
【You have gained a ive effect: Internal Bleeding, losing 1% of current maximum health per sed, apanied by immense pain.】
"Ha... hiss, haha, wheeze... even if I want to retreat now, I 't. In that case—"
Li Aozi bared his sharp teeth, biting into the flesh inside 《Biohazard King-kong》. In Dominator form, his teeth were as sharp as daggers, biting down and tearing the flesh apart, swallowing it.
"Ugh—disgusting, tougher than dried beef jerky!"
He had previously chosen the iron stomach mutation, whiow proved effective.
【Life Severance】 tinuously ed Omega Energy, extrag blood from 《Biohazard King-kong》. The iron stomach tinuously devoured flesh to restore Omega Energy!
"Ignorant, ridiculous, immature."
Even through the flesh, 《Biohazard King-kong》's voice was deafening:
"There is endless energy within 《Biohazard King-kong》. You have no idea what this is; it is the authority of the gods!"
【Omega Energy extracted from target】: [Moisture Distiltion]
Crushed.
Blood seeped into Li Aozi's retinas, turning his vision crimson.
He had crushed 48 low to mid-level Omega Energies, with 900 more waiting to be extracted.
Indeed...the professor was right.
Even if all these Omega Energies were crushed, the reje reas caused by the chaotie fragments would kill him. The one who would kill him wouldn't be the professor, but his fragile immune system.
All along, 【Biochemists】 were the natural enemies of 【Mutants】.
Even without iional targeting, there were tless ways the former could severely harm 【Mutants】 in the early stages.
A natural enemy means that no matter how hard you try, you only stand on par with the weakest of the oppo.
That's why people especially enjoy watg underdog reveories, like eggs hitting stohough it's overestimating oneself, it's far more iing than a battle between equally matched strong ones.
In fact, reag this point was already enough for Li Aozi. Even professional pyers, when fag obvious ter professions, would decisively choose options with higher error tolerance.
【Mutants】 fighting 【Biochemists】 two tiers above to this extent would be questioned if spread around.
Not to mention—the Abyss Professor was the top-tier 【Biochemist】 oire Blue Star.
Her knowledge level had reached the p's limit. Objectively speaking, it was the envirohat limited her upper limit.
But.
"—It's not over yet!"
Li Aozi gritted his teeth, tearing off a piece of 《Biohazard King-kong》's flesh, and transferred all 48 gene fragments into Naomi's 【Strong Parasite Mutation】.
Omega-grade Omega Energy only be upgraded with Omega-grade gene fragments.
The same Omega Energy ot only promote quality evolution but also enhahe development level of Omega Energy.
These bes only be ehanks to the final patch corre of version 14.0, which is why Li Aozi dared to tinue abs Omega Energy.
Naomi's Omega Energy was the lowest quality among them, and the only ohat hysical enhaype.
She was the least picky about the quality of gene fragments, could be upgraded quickly, and since she was stored in the gene pods, Li Aozi's genes wouldn't inate her. No matter how she evolved, it wouldn't affeaomi's soul purity.
Additionally, strengthening the body and recovery ability meant he could st longer.
【Your subordinate Omega Energy [Strong Parasite Mutation] has evolved】: [Cell Activation]
【Rating】: Iota (ι, the ninth Greek letter)
【Active Activation】: Ignore all trol/restri/disable recovery effects, activate cell activity throughout the body, quickly repair, immediately restore 80% of health, and regee any severed limbs or internal injuries.
After use, cells will die from overexertion, needing 30 miee before reuse.
【Passive State】: Your cells are regarded as omnipotent stem cells, rest health will repair all damage.
"She wants to live with you, to walk together."
Naomi, now you have to save me again.
Spt—
Li Aozi's body trembled. Under Naomi's Omega Energy effect, his internal ans, damaged by excessive hormone use, were rapidly repaired to a healthy level, even improving his aging body.
tirag.
"Don't you know when to stop? Your as are just a drop in the bucket for 《Biohazard King-kong》. I have thhly uood the Camity and utilize it with ease, while you—"
"Shut up, you Omega Energy dwarf. Haven't you noticed? Your eyes have long turned red and bck—prog yourself an Camity researcher, you've long since bee an Camity ied yourself!"
Li Aozi's taunt made 《Biohazard King-kong》 pause. He didn't have time to sider how many yers of the professor's psychological defehat statement had breached. He turned his head, murmuring:
"Hey, Naomi, have you ever seen the universe?"
The tentacles on both hands kept extrag Omega Energy and life, and Li Aozi's body bled profusely from the reje rea, like a broken faucet that couldn't stop leaking blood.
Afraid of passing out, Li Aozi kept talking:
"I'll tell you a secret: there's no such thing as the Camity virus. People are just trapped by that yer of red and bck clouds on the ground."
He ughed, not knowing who he was talking to. The professor, Naomi, Snow, or all the Abyss ied.
"Actually, if you break through that yer of sky, you'll see an endless star abyss."
"What nonsense, I've studied the Camity all my life—"
"You studied a load of crap! You were just satisfying your own curiosity, obsessively going in the wrong dire. If you had just looked up, you'd know what the Camity is!"
Li Aozi cursed:
"You've been trapped on this frozen nd for so long, you've fotten that the sun is a warm fireball, that there are seasons, grassnds, streams, and green hills."
"Be it the professor or the Four Nations, you are all cowards, waste, frogs in a well! People would rather fight among themselves, endure exploitation, and kill each other than look up at the sky. They don't even dare to imagihe dark blue unknown void."
"You brat, what nonsense are you spouting—"
"Naomi, you want to live together, to keep up with me—then evolve with me to the end!"
Li Aozi raised his head.
His left eyeball rotted from the reje rea, then quickly sprouted new flesh and rods. The new gray eye was covered with a yer of red and bck, then swiftly bloomed with a brilliant golden halo.
"Because I e from the abyss of the stars."
