Han Sen took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart.
What's with that tone, like you missed out on a tasty snack?
Han Sen knew that although Black Sperm was capricious and known for his sharp tongue in battle, strictly speaking, he was one of the few "intelligent" Monsters.
In the original work, even after the Monster Association was annihilated, he escaped certain death and even hitched a ride with Pochita to become Saitama's pet. Such a performance already spoke volumes.
Although this type of high-IQ Monster was more dangerous, at least he could communicate.
Even if it was for Great Eyes's sake, he wouldn't casually try to kill him.
Taking a deep breath, Han Sen suddenly recalled his experience with Pochita, and seeing Black Sperm looking like he hadn't eaten enough, he immediately put on a sincere expression: "My apologies for disturbing your rest, Black Sperm-sama!"
"How about this! These useless fellows are quite sturdy; they can be your after-meal snack."
Tiger-level Monster: ??? × 5
As soon as he finished speaking, the Monsters' faces instantly turned pale, their eyes filled with unbelievable despair and fear.
"Oh, really?"
When it came to appetite, Black Sperm was always indiscriminate.
When he was weak, he could even burrow into the soil to dig for earthworms to survive.
Now that a high-protein meal was delivered to his doorstep, there was naturally no reason to refuse.
Black Sperm's small eyes scanned the Tiger-level Monsters, and he chuckled, revealing a mouthful of Sharp Fangs.
"Then I won't be polite."
As he spoke, the short, stick-figure Monster unexpectedly leaped, lightly jumping onto Han Sen's shoulder.
He grabbed a protruding spike on the shoulder with his left hand as a handrail, and swung his right hand violently.
Boom—!
His dark right arm rapidly swelled dozens of times like it was being inflated, grabbing the five Tiger-level Monsters in one go, stuffing them into his bottomless mouth, and letting out a satisfied burp.
"Burp… The taste is so-so."
In just a few seconds, Black Sperm clumsily jumped off Han Sen's shoulder and patted Han Sen's lower leg, which was covered in black armor, with satisfaction.
"However, you're a pretty good kid."
"Say hello to Pochita for me. That guy seems to have gained weight recently. Maybe I'll go play with him when I have time… Eh? Why aren't you moving, kid?"
Black Sperm tilted his head, curiously looking at Han Sen, who was frozen in place: "Hey, hey, hey…?"
Throughout the entire process, Han Sen remained frozen in place.
Firstly, he didn't expect Black Sperm to actively approach him, and secondly, it was because…
He saw the first… no, it should be two red UR abilities in the popped-up system messages!!
[Ding! Contact with replicable target!]
[Monster: Black Sperm]
[Disaster Level: Dragon (Peak)]
[Ability 1: "Megaton Split (UR)": By absorbing external energy or biomass, one can gain a nearly infinite ability to split and proliferate. It can split into any number of "Selves." Among all Selves, the main body holds the highest authority and can enable or disable the shared sensory network. The strength of the main body determines the comprehensive quality level of individual power, speed, endurance, reaction ability, etc. Each individual shares all abilities of the main body. As long as the internal biomass or Cell reserves are sufficient, no matter how many times it splits, the individual combat power will not be weakened.]
[Ability 2: "Fusion Combination (UR)": Any number of split individuals can perform almost unlimited combinations. The more split individuals that merge, the stronger the merged individual's power, with power increasing exponentially! Combination forms include "Normal Form"—can continuously split and proliferate by absorbing protein. Can release stacked internal cells to cause partial or complete gigantification of the body, greatly enhancing power! "Multicellular Form"—merges multiple cells into a high-density individual, comprehensively enhancing strength, speed, and defense! "Golden Form"—over 10 trillion cells highly compressed, with a tall and robust physique, perfect muscles reflecting a golden gleam, greatly enhancing speed and strength! "Platinum Form"—merges all split bodies through "elimination fusion," completing an irreversible ultimate combination, with a silvery-white body, density and speed breaking through limits! Platinum Form exclusive moves: "Sub-Light Speed Assault," "Platinum Pierce," "Perfect Defense," "Unreasonable Counter-Technique."]
[Ability 3: "Cell Mimicry (SSR)": Cells possess mimicry abilities such as deformation, camouflage, gigantification, and shrinking, capable of mimicking rocks or dust to escape tracking.]
[Ability 4: "Cell Self-Destruction (SR)": Sacrifices a portion of cells to trigger an explosion, with power directly proportional to the number of sacrificed cells.]
There was nothing to say; at this moment, Han Sen almost copied the abilities at light speed!
[Successfully copied UR Ability: "Megaton Split" Lv1!]
[Successfully copied UR Ability: "Fusion Combination" Lv1!]
[Successfully copied SSR Ability: "Cell Mimicry" Lv1!]
[Successfully copied SR Ability: "Cell Self-Destruction" Lv1!]
[Current occupied ability slots: 10/15.]
Although he instantly occupied all but one-third of his ability slots, Han Sen knew that Black Sperm's unique Dragon-level Monster abilities formed a self-contained system. Since he was going to copy them, he definitely…
I want them all.JPG
"Tch, he actually came back to life…"
Seeing Han Sen move again, Black Sperm wiped his mouth in disappointment: "What a strange kid, boring, I'm leaving!"
Before he finished speaking, his figure, as if merging into the shadows, silently disappeared into the depths of the mine shaft.
Han Sen: "…"
I'm truly sorry I couldn't let you taste my fresh protein!
Just as Black Sperm's figure disappeared into the depths of the mine shaft, Han Sen felt a strange tingling sensation from within his body.
It was as if countless tiny "Selves" were stirring at the cellular level, wanting to split apart.
This was truly splitting!
At the same time, a fusion impulse, which would lead to a qualitative change if a sufficient number gathered, also arose spontaneously.
Through the ability information automatically understood after successful copying by the system, Han Sen knew.
The changes in his body were because his immense life force had already spontaneously begun to mobilize the moment the UR abilities were acquired.
His highly activated body was comprehensively transformed by the newly acquired UR abilities, completing tens of thousands of proliferations and divisions silently!
Hoo—
It wasn't until Black Sperm's aura completely disappeared into the darkness that Han Sen finally let out a long, hot breath.
His own strength evolution speed could be described as rapid, but compared to the many Monsters of the Monster Association, it was nothing!
[Origin Points: 15246]
Looking at the balance in his account, it was only enough to upgrade one UR ability by one level, or click a few more times on SSR.
"Make money! Must make money!"
His conviction to make money was reinforced in his heart, and Han Sen suddenly noticed that the drastic changes in his body due to the new abilities abruptly slowed down, as if they had temporarily reached their limit.
[Individual Cell Reserve: 1 million]
Seeing the popped-up system prompt, combined with the natural feedback obtained after mastering the ability, Han Sen suddenly understood.
Even if he copied Black Sperm's UR abilities, the process of accumulating Cell reserves still had to be completed step by step by himself.
Its upper limit was also positively correlated with his current strength and various other factors. Of course, he could also accelerate the process of splitting and reserving by extensively devouring external proteins, like Black Sperm.
Lv1 "Megaton Split" only gave Han Sen an initial Cell reserve of 1 million, which wasn't even a fraction of Black Sperm's terrifying Cell reserve, calculated in trillions.
However, he wasn't anxious. After all, his strength was basically linked to Origin Points, and ultimately…
He still had to make money!
While pondering faster sources of Origin Points other than "Monster Cell," he strolled back to his lair.
The moment he entered the door, a subtle sense of abnormality in the darkness suddenly entered his perception!
Someone was here!!
