Not all Parasitic Organisms can tolerate a life of being driven and enslaved by other creatures.
Parasitic Organisms, despite their name, are the controllers of the body once they successfully parasitize a host. They are predators, not beings that truly rely on others to survive.
Kurozawa looked at Lefty, his eyes gradually narrowing, revealing a faint killing intent.
Lefty's body went cold, and it quickly said, "You know me. I don't have any ill will or hostility, and I've never tried to take over your body."
Kurozawa was silent for a moment, the killing intent in his eyes receding before he dispelled the black flames on his right hand.
He had the Immortal Body protecting him, allowing him to ignore many threats.
This included threats from Parasitic Organisms, as pure physical damage was no different from a gentle breeze to Kurozawa.
If he destroyed Lefty's consciousness now, the Left Hand would collapse instantly.
Furthermore, if he wanted to control the entire Parasitic Organism race and turn them into his own power, giving up the Parasyte Body ability just because he encountered a little resistance and difficulty would show a psychological resilience that was far too fragile.
However, practicing the Breathing Technique had to be put aside for now. Can the Parasyte Body truly only be used indirectly? Can't I control it with my own mind? Not necessarily.
Previously, Kurozawa had controlled his body and used his mind to control the Left Hand to transform. Although he didn't succeed, he was indeed able to stimulate the Parasyte Body to change. It just couldn't achieve the effect he wanted; the forms it took had no combat ability.
But this meant that the ability of the Parasyte Body to change form could be slowly mastered through learning.
"Accumulate Potential Points. When I reach over three hundred, I'll awaken Fighting Spirit."
Fighting Spirit exists between all things.
Mountains, rocks, earth, wood, birds, and beasts, whether inanimate or animate, constantly emit Fighting Spirit. Through Fighting Spirit, one can perceive many things beneath the surface.
Especially after reaching the level of the Transparent World.
Being able to see the subtle structures of the human body through 'Fighting Spirit' might solve the current predicament.
If he could drive the Parasyte Body with his own will, many problems would be easily solved, and he wouldn't have to keep wasting Potential Points as lubricant to force the fusion.
Hmm... although I'll probably have to use Potential Points to increase my Intelligence then, otherwise my consciousness won't be enough like Lefty's.
But Intelligence is a core attribute; it's better than a one-time consumption.
"Fighting Spirit, don't disappoint me."
"If you can solve the problem, no matter which world I go to in the future, you'll be the first one I rely on!"
Kurozawa calmed down, leaped up, and his body left the bottom of the sea cliff, appearing on top.
Nobuko Izumi and Kazuyuki Izumi had already left.
Without stopping, Kurozawa turned and strode away.
As evening arrived and the sky darkened, Kurozawa returned near his residence.
Because the distance was quite far, and after Lefty drove for a while, Kurozawa told it to stop.
He walked slowly the rest of the way, thinking about what he would do in the future.
Along the way, he encountered a Parasitic Organism that didn't know its place, killed it, and replenished some Potential Points.
One more kill, and he would have enough Potential Points to awaken Fighting Spirit.
Since it was originally his foundation, reawakening it in this life was much simpler.
If Kurozawa wasn't in a hurry to use Fighting Spirit, he could have awakened it directly by practicing on his own without using Potential Points, even if it took another year or two.
But time waited for no one.
The fusion of the Immortal Body and the Parasyte Body required over ten thousand Potential Points.
This was a huge number, but Kurozawa wouldn't give up easily.
Because the Parasyte Body was entirely dependent on the Parasitic Organisms, if he went to the next world, it definitely wouldn't be able to follow him like the Immortal Body. Moreover, the Parasyte Body was a unique constitution, not knowledge, experience, or skills, so it couldn't become a foundation and couldn't be brought back through Potential Points.
But the Parasyte Body's ability to change in myriad ways was very useful, and Kurozawa was unwilling to give it up.
The amount of over ten thousand Potential Points was simply too large. Basically, it could only be obtained by going to war with the humans of that world and slaughtering cities and destroying nations.
"If there's no other way, this is the only path left."
When Kurozawa returned home and knocked on the door, there was no movement inside.
Kana, who always liked to open the door before Kurozawa knocked, didn't seem to be home today.
Kurozawa frowned.
Where had Kana gone so late?
Hadn't he told her not to run around randomly when he wasn't there? Before he could push the door open, Lefty, who was in a deep sleep, suddenly woke up, then quickly split into several mouths, all whispering, "Be careful!"
Kurozawa reacted extremely quickly. A deafening sound came from beside his ear, and he immediately dodged to the right.
*Bang!* The door was blasted to pieces, completely ruined.
At the same time, dozens of small, round projectiles filled with a burning aura pierced through the air, carrying strong kinetic energy, and rained down on Kurozawa's body.
The impact area was very wide, and the speed of the projectiles after leaving the barrel was also extremely fast, so fast that Kuroazawa didn't have time to react.
*Thump!* Half of Kurozawa's body was hit by the projectiles one by one.
These projectiles, possessing strong kinetic energy, only paused slightly before penetrating Kurozawa's skin, which was dozens of times tougher than an ordinary person's, like leather, and then entered his body.
It was like being hit head-on by a speeding vehicle. Kurozawa felt a tremendous force, and his body was thrown back uncontrollably. However, while still in mid-air, Kurozawa's expression darkened. By adjusting his muscles, he deflected a lot of the force, and then his feet landed firmly on the ground.
"Firearms."
He looked down and saw that his shirt had been ripped to shreds, and his lean body was covered in more than a dozen bloody bullet holes.
Waves of burning pain washed over him, but not a drop of blood flowed out.
Breathing Technique activated his body.
His strong, powerful muscles rippled, pushing out the bullets one by one, which clattered to the ground.
Immortal Body was activated, and these injuries immediately regenerated.
Thump, thump, thump, thump...
Dense, uniform footsteps sounded as fully armed soldiers with live ammunition appeared from the dark corners around him. Inside the house, soldiers holding cold firearms also appeared, aiming their weapons at Kurozawa.
Bang! A dozen riot shields hit the ground, surrounding Kurozawa. Black muzzles extended from behind them, aimed at Kurozawa.
Looking further away, faint red lights flickered in many high places.
Vivid red dots appeared and moved across Kurozawa's body.
They were mainly concentrated on his chest, but some also appeared on his head.
"Quite the show."
Sure enough, as soon as he made a move on Shinichi Izumi, he would quickly be pushed to the opposite side of humanity.
Because he had anticipated this, Kurozawa wasn't too surprised.
Under the watchful, wary gazes, he squatted down and picked up the bullets, each stained with a few drops of his blood. He held them in his hand, counted them carefully, and then slowly stood up.
