Chapter 7 - Bug-like Ability

"Hahaha, kid, see that? You're nothing but a pushover! Soon, you'll be torn to pieces like your arm!"

Grey's eyes were blood red, a cruel smile plastered on his face. He seemed to already envision Chen Chen's demise, ripped to shreds.

"Is that so!" Despite losing an arm, Chen Chen's expression remained unchanged; he even let out a soft chuckle. "Pitiful fool, you're still oblivious even as death approaches."

Grey's smile vanished. He was furious. "Looks like you haven't grasped the situation! Do I have to twist your head off before you shut your mouth!"

With that, he swung his arm again, which was as thick as an adult's thigh, intending to smash down once more.

Just then, the scattered fragments of Chen Chen's limbs on Grey's body suddenly began to writhe and crawl like snakes. Even several rubbery Snake-like limbs shot out, surging into Grey's body through his mouth and nose.

The sudden change terrified Grey. "What... what is this... Aaaah!"

Before he could react, these snake-like limb fragments, under Chen Chen's control, eagerly burrowed into Grey's body. Some were destroying his internal organs, while others attacked his central nervous system.

In excruciating pain, Grey flailed his arms wildly, swatting at everything in front of him in an attempt to alleviate his suffering. Blood soon poured from his mouth and nose, and his body, which was as tough as steel, swayed precariously.

Clearly, the defenses of his internal organs were not as robust as his exterior, and they couldn't withstand the damage from within, making it impossible for him to maintain his balance.

He looked at Chen Chen pleadingly, "Spare me, please... save me..."

Chen Chen remained unmoved and walked in front of him, saying calmly, "Everything has its cause and effect. If you have to blame someone, blame your subordinate who causes trouble everywhere."

With those words, a thought flashed through his mind, and the Snake-like limbs that had reached Grey's brain suddenly rolled and churned violently. The light in Grey's eyes immediately extinguished, and his massive body collapsed like a mountain being pushed down.

At this point, although Grey still had a heartbeat and could breathe, his central nervous system was completely destroyed, turning him into a vegetable.

Looking at Grey's collapse, Chen Chen couldn't suppress his excitement, "It's time for me to verify another ability of Majin Buu!"

That was Majin Buu's almost-broken ability to consume and absorb. Majin Buu could separate a part of his body to absorb and devour others, gaining the absorbed person's combat power and abilities.

Obviously, Grey, who possessed powerful combat strength and abilities, was already valuable enough for Chen Chen to absorb.

With a thought, one of Chen Chen's arms exploded, transforming into a pink mass of flesh that enveloped Grey's entire body.

As the flesh mass devoured him, Grey's body continuously shrank, while the pink mass covering him expanded. Chen Chen finally exhaled deeply the instant Grey was completely swallowed by the pink mass.

The absorption ability had taken effect!

Subsequently, the flesh mass that had swallowed the Mutant Grey instantly returned to Chen Chen's body, gradually merging into him. When the flesh mass completely integrated with Chen Chen, a red light suddenly burst forth from his body.

Chen Chen sensed his own body, then quickly walked to the outdoor swimming pool of the Mansion. After clearly seeing the changes in himself through the reflection in the water, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, my appearance hasn't changed much, still as handsome as ever!"

He was originally a little worried that he would end up like Majin Buu from the Dragon Ball world, whose appearance, physique, and even temperament would undergo huge changes every time he absorbed a different opponent.

Now that he saw no change in his appearance or physique after absorbing Grey, Chen Chen finally put aside his last concerns about the 'absorption ability'.

Right, what did Majin Buu's abilities have to do with his God-Level Majin Buu System? It had 'God-Level' in the name, so it wasn't too much to expect it to optimize the abilities.

"Let me see how much this Mutant has boosted me."

With no more worries, Chen Chen immediately began to examine the changes within himself.

At the same time, the system transmitted a large amount of information to his mind.

'Side quest complete, gain 1000 energy. Obtain a God-Level Adjustable Toy.'

'Gain 2000 solidified energy, this energy cannot be used within the system.'

Through the system's explanation, Chen Chen quickly understood the meaning of these words. By using the absorption ability to devour a creature, he could obtain the energy contained within that creature. However, since Chen Chen could actively spit out the devoured creature, this part of the energy could not be freely controlled.

Otherwise, Chen Chen could have simply devoured a creature, spent the energy gained in the system shop, and then spit the creature back out. This kind of exploit completely violated the system's operational rules, so there were limitations.

Of course, Chen Chen could also choose to completely digest and absorb the devoured creature, converting it entirely into system energy. However, in doing so, he would lose the combat power boost gained from absorbing the creature.

How to proceed would require Chen Chen to consider carefully.

In addition, the ability he had just absorbed from the Mutant Grey, Potential Release, made Chen Chen frown slightly. Grey's ability wasn't as powerful as Chen Chen had initially thought.

Grey's ability allowed him to accumulate energy within his body through constant eating. When needed, he could use this energy to unleash astonishing power and defense in a short burst.

Although powerful, it wasn't sustainable. Even if Chen Chen hadn't defeated him from the inside, Grey would have eventually worn himself out.

That made sense. If Grey's ability were truly perfect, he wouldn't be working with gangs in such a small place.

However, after a moment's thought, Chen Chen relaxed his brow. This ability was only average for ordinary Mutants, but for him, it was like adding wings to a tiger.

Don't forget that in the Dragon Ball storyline, Majin Buu has the appetite to swallow hundreds of thousands of residents from a city in one gulp.

It's all about accumulating power and then unleashing it. Chen Chen's appetite and the power he can accumulate aren't something ordinary Mutants can compare to.

Just then, Chen Chen's keen hearing caught the sound of sirens in the distance; police cars were approaching.

The commotion in the Mansion wasn't small, with gunshots and killings. Obviously, those terrified blonde girls had chosen to call the police.

Chen Chen had no intention of going to the police station for a chat. He crouched down and searched Daniel's body, finding a handgun, which he tucked into his chest. In most situations, pulling out a handgun is more likely to make others talk to you calmly than throwing a punch.

Then, with a leap, he jumped onto the three-meter-high courtyard wall and left with a flourish.
