The shockwave of crimson energy swept away everything in its path like the wrath of a god of death.

Wu Chen’s paralyzed body was launched into the air like a ragdoll with severed strings. He soared through the thick plumes of smoke before slamming violently to the ground, tumbling into a pile of loose bricks from the destroyed walls of the stronghold.

"Ughh..."

The remaining air in his lungs was knocked out of him. Yet, for the first time, Wu Chen paid no mind to the tearing pain in his chest.

  • Ch 106. Dead Overdose

    Wu Chen's fingers, drenched in blood and pus, clamped tightly around the three clumps of meridian crystals inside the Chimera's chest.Without a moment's hesitation, the former street king forced the assimilation process into motion. He did not pull the three cores out. Instead, he crushed them simultaneously within his grip, allowing the pure energy of all three high-level mutants to erupt and flow directly into his body through the wounds in his palms.A catastrophic mistake. An act of arrogance that exceeded the limits of human tolerance.Absorbing a single high-level meridian core had already pushed his sanity to the brink. Absorbing three cores with mutually conflicting elements, fire, acid poison, and metal, simultaneously was nothing short of absolute suicide.The moment those three energies tore into his bloodstream, time itself seemed to freeze inside the Central Research Tower's lobby.A jet-black shockwave exploded from Wu Chen's body, blasting the already-dead Chimera's ma

  • Ch 105. The Three-Headed Cerberus

    The three-frequency roar of the colossal Chimera completely shattered what remained of the Central Research Tower's magnificent lobby.The charred human head in the center of the monster's body unleashed a wave of flames that instantly set the red carpet ablaze across the marble floor. The blind reptilian head on its left spewed poisonous acid that hissed as it melted the marble statues. Meanwhile, the steel-plated head on its right slammed its iron forehead into a supporting pillar, causing the concrete structure, thick enough to be wrapped in an adult's arms, to crack and collapse."Fall back! Nobody gets close!" General Han Rui shouted, pushing his remaining soldiers toward a safe corner.Two royalist soldiers who were too slow to evade were swept away by the Chimera's enormous arm, which was covered in meridian wires and stitches. Their bodies were crushed against the wall, their bones shattering into countless fragments.Wu Chen stood approximately ten meters away from the horrif

  • Ch 104. The Boundary of Humanity

    The steel spear in General Han Rui's hand trembled violently.Around him, dozens of surviving elite soldiers of the Tingzhao military had raised their mechanical crossbows, their sights locked directly onto Wu Chen's chest and head. The simultaneous sound of triggers being pulled echoed through the main lobby of the Central Research Tower, where the tension was ready to explode at any moment.Wu Chen stood motionless at the threshold of the shattered steel door.Thin wisps of black smoke rose from both his shoulders. Thick blood dripped from the tip of the dagger in his left hand. The sclera of his left eye had turned pitch-black, like ink from the depths of hell, framing a viciously glowing vertical red pupil.The veins along his temples and neck bulged wildly, pumping the corrupt energy of six high-level monster souls now forcibly inhabiting his bloodstream.Inside the skull of the former mafia king, a storm of madness was raging.Hunger... blood... tear their throats apart...The h

  • Ch 103. The Anatomy of a Phantom

    The completely transparent bone knife was buried deep in Wu Chen’s right shoulder, piercing through his mutated armor and emerging from his back. Fresh, dark red blood immediately gushed out, streaming down his black robes and dripping heavily onto the cold steel floor.Yet, amid the deadly silence of the laboratory corridor, not a single scream of pain could be heard.Wu Chen did not stagger. He did not step backward. The former street king of the mafia merely tilted his head slightly, lowered his gaze, and stared directly at the knife embedded in his own flesh with eyes as flat as the surface of ice.His sensory nervous system had been completely shut down. The fatal stab had failed to trigger even the slightest shock response."That's all your little toy can do, you bastard?" Wu Chen rasped, his lips curling into a contemptuous, demonic grin.As if startled by his prey's lack of reaction, the invisible figure suddenly yanked the bone knife out of Wu Chen's shoulder.SRAAAT!Blood s

  • Ch 102. The Monster That Hunts Monsters

    The steel floor of the western wing corridor trembled faintly. Wu Chen staggered backward, his back slamming against the cold laboratory wall. His left hand clutched his head with tremendous force, his fingernails nearly tearing through the skin of his temples, which were riddled with black veins.Inside his skull, a supernatural storm was raging. The maddening whispers of the mutant captain whose energy he had just absorbed continued to echo through his mind, threatening to tear apart what remained of his sanity.*Hungry... kill them... fresh blood... flesh...*The hoarse voices overlapped, screaming and wailing as they tried to drag Wu Chen's remaining humanity into the abyss of primal animal instinct."Shut up... Shut the hell up!" Wu Chen growled through clenched, chattering teeth.The former mafia king refused to submit. During his years ruling the streets, he had learned that the mind was the one territory he could never afford to surrender to anyone. His tyrannical ego erupted.

  • Ch 101. The System’s Bloody Conditions

    “Break the seal,” Wu Chen rasped, his eyes fixed sharply on the glow before him.At that very moment, the system interface hovering over Wu Chen’s corneas erupted in a blinding blood-red light. The previous golden text burned away, replaced by rows of mechanical sentences that seemed to have been written from the very essence of death itself.SYSTEM: AUTHORIZATION ACCEPTED.SYSTEM: REQUIREMENTS MET. ABSORB ENERGY FROM TEN HIGH-LEVEL MUTANT MERIDIANS TO ACTIVATE FORBIDDEN ASCENSION.SYSTEM: EMERGENCY WARNING. EXTREMELY HIGH RISK OF SOUL CORRUPTION. FAILURE TO ABSORB WILL PERMANENTLY DESTROY THE HOST’S CONSCIOUSNESS.Wu Chen read the warning with a truly terrifying tyrant’s grin.“Soul corruption? My soul’s been rotten for a long time, you bastard. There’s nothing left for you to destroy.”From the western wing corridor of the Central Research Tower, which connected to the main lobby, came a deafening chorus of guttural roars. Glass doors shattered into pieces. Dozens of elite royal sol
