"Ouch!"
Blood dripped down Theon's mouth when he felt a cut on his upper lip.
His muscles inflated uncontrollably with his primal bone pulsing along his chest.
Struggling to his feet, his legs buckled and he fell helplessly on one knee.
With blood filled face, Theon gritted his teeth as he felt his cells expanding more then twice their previous size.
Inside Theon's body, just under his skin and above his bones, the now dark crimson color symbiote suddenly transformed into a billions macro threads that started intertwining with his DNA structure.
If one were to use a microscope to observe his DNA, one would be able to see as multiple segments of his helix-shaped DNA were being devoured, only to be replaced by red-colored strands of DNA. His genes were actually being interchanged by the symbiote as it merged along with his human cells.
It was absolutely ferocious and vicious, not giving any chance to his human gene as it occupied them and corrupted them like a parasite.
Theon was panting at this point with gritted teeth trying his best to control his cells in order to fight off the corruption but he was utterly powerless to do anything at this moment.
He didn't know if it was a good thing it a bad thing. But as the saying goes, prevention is better than cure.
He hurriedly checked his status and immediately skimmed through the information about the symbiosis technique.
Knowing panicking would prove fruitless, Theon forcefully calmed himself and stopped resisting.
In that moment he gave up, the reddish DNA slowly engulfing his original cells suddenly sped up the moment Theon stopped resisting.
The change was immediate! His body started expanded rapidly with bulging muscles and massive veins the size of snakes wiggling underneath his skin, forming numerous patterns across his body.
In just under two minutes, his entire body had expanded and he had grown three times more muscular and almost two times his height from his original 190 centimeters tall to a three meters tall giant!
His skin was pure muscles and his vision spread wide to almost 360°, almost letting him see what was behind him in the process.
The pain finally subsided and Theon heaved a sigh of relief.
In that second, the wind howled as he exhaled.
"Eh?"
As the pain faded, he started to notice something. His body felt as though he was filled with strength and raw muscles. It was as though he was an heavy weigh champion who he just completed an intense set.
His brows furrows and he glanced down at his palm and saw it was as big as a Chinese hand fan.
In addition, his fingers were long, almost like a bear's finger nails. His eyes inadvertently glanced at his thighs and his eyes twitched.
"Why am I so thick?"
Without hesitation he activated the mirror world in the combat room.
The room trembled as mirrors fell down the four corners of the room.
Theon was finally able to see his full appearance which gave him quite the jolt.
His long hair seem like thousands of tentacles with their own mind as they swayed in the air, defying gravity. His face had totally changed and only had the humanoid structure but wasn't human.
White eyes that occupied one-third of his face with the corners of his eyes stretched to the side of his head looking quite scary and good looking.
Teeth, so many teeth in his raw red mouth, and four sharp long fangs that extended out from the corners of his large mouth.
His swollen muscles were coated in crimson darkness, tendrils of the redness swirled off his body, looking like wind blown red ink as he hunched there.
Sharp grotesque looking claws replaced his original nails and feet.
Theon couldn't help but let out a sound of surprise which didn't sound human at all. The snarling hiss of a voice came from his monstrous mouth.
This was the result of him merging with the symbiote.
Theon admired his current form and he felt as though his muscles were rippling with strength that could shatter anything.
This form was incredibly flexible and his defense appears to have heightened incredibly along with an increase in agility.
This legendary symbiote made the technique quite legendary.
Usually, he would have to have reached the highest level of this technique, the extreme realm before he would have a chance to trigger this transformation but with the legendary grade Symbiote, he could trigger it whenever she wished!
His tongue extended down like a snake as he licked his chin. In the same realm right now, he was practically invincible.
No one within his class, would be his match. Not even those from the elite class!
Stretching his hand, his incredible muscles squirmed along with his veins as his claws glistened.
"Shiiing!"
Taking a swipe at the air, his claws drew four long lines along space before it vanished. Chuckling, he couldn't wait to test this form in combat. It was then the intense sensation of hunger slammed into him like a wave!
His big eyes widened in shock and a loud thump echoed as his feet moved his feet, making the entire floor slightly.
Theon quickly went to the side where he had prepared enough food for at least a week for safety reasons.
The hunger was so intense he didn't bother to unwrap the food, he consumed them intently together with the container like a maniac!
The sounds of his teeth grinding through bones and meat were like the sound of a grinding machine crushing through bones! In just half a minute, Theon had finished a week worth of food and he didn't seem the least bit satiated.
Noticing that things were getting a little bit out of hand, Theon quickly canceled the bond and immediately, the reddish gene separated from his DNA helix and his body returned back to its normal human form.
With a splash, beadssweat rolled from his forehead to the ground. He gasped deeply for air, his brows furrowed in thought. The changes had gone beyond the description written on the Nuclear Techniques and also beyond his realm of understanding! It was better he didn't use the symbiosis in battle until he further understood the biology of the organism and the full extent of its power. For now, though, he should create a suitable weapon for himself.
