It had been several centuries since earth's second evolution. For over two years, Lucifer had been diagnosed with cancer and with no immediate medication, it developed reaching stage three. With no parents left in this world and his sick aunt as his only living relative Lucifer was extremely poor and could barely feed himself.
He had given up on life entirely when his aunt used her treatment quota in exchange for a Cybergenetic bio-chip implant.
Not wanting to disappoint her and himself, he came to the New continent.
To counteract stage two cancer, he must undergo at least two evolution in physique.
Naturally Lucifer knew how hard it was to go through the first evolution, feeding just on the flesh Savage beasts, it was even more difficult to reach the second evolution using the flesh of level one beast.
But even then, it was his only shot at survival. He would do everything it takes to survive and then definitely be able to repay his little aunt in the process. She was the only reason he was here kicking. Since she arranged for the chip to be transplanted into him and his transport to this place.
Like a starving beast, Lucifer poured more Bone-softening cream on the skin since it was getting cold, reverting back to it's previous defenses, he tore apart the body of the Black-scaled catfish with his machete using all of his strength. He immediately gulped them down.
[Flesh of Obsidian-scaled Catfish eaten, +1% evolution]
[Flesh of eaten Obsidian-scaled Catfish, +1% evolution ]
[Flesh of Obsidian-scaled Catfish eaten, +1% evolution]
Lucifer felt this message repeat itself four more times and each time the flesh reaches his stomach, it immediately transforms into its gaseous state, merging and infusing along his flesh tissue and bones, causing them to itch incredibly.
After the itchiness faded, Lucifer could feel his strength had improved.
A few more minutes the head of the fish had softened from Bone-softening cream and the boiling water, Lucifer didn't wait to cool down and immediately gobbled it up, swallowing after chewing on it a few times.
[Flesh of Obsidian-scaled Catfish eaten, +1% evolution]
Hurriedly closing his eyes, he felt for authentication.
[Subject: Lucifer Dawn]
[Age: 17]
[State: Basic Human]
[Savage Evolution: 11%]
[Primeval Evolution 4%]
[C-cell structure: Obsidian-scale skin
[Points required for evolution = 100]
[Points to acquire complete gene structure = 100]
At this period, within this region, different Cell structures (complete gene structures) can be gained either by luck or by consuming massive amounts of the same beast meat for longer period of time.
The body would then automatically develop genes similar to that of the beast consumed and with the help of the chip, the developed gene wouldn't be something that will disfigured the body's original genetic composition.
Different genes can be gained by eating flesh of of creatures of different types.
Naturally, these genes are divided into four tiers according to their strength. Basic cells, Mutant cells, Fiend cells and Apex state cells.
Lucifer had been consuming the flesh of Black-scaled Catfish for more than six months, practically trying to force his body to develop the black-scale gene which was only a basic gene from the Black-scale Catfish.
To be honest, the probability that he wouldn't gain anything even after years of consuming Iron-headed catfish was close to 98%. But Lucifer persevered.
Just when Lucifer was on the brink of despair, about to lose all hope, he didn't expect his body would develop an apex C-cell structure.
The Obsidian-scale just once after consuming a Obsidian-scaled Catfish. The feeling of multiple waves of energy slamming into his cells and merging with his flesh was so real which significantly told him everything that was happening right now was quite real.
He stood up and punched out, producing a crisp sound echoing through the air. In fact, the blast of wind even caused the surroundings to shake a little.
This scene caused Lucifer's eyes to open wide. He sensed that the current him was simply much stronger compared to yesterday.
If the current him struggled against the Black-scaled fish, Lucifer believed that he would take only five minutes to fish one out.
Not only that, but his senses were also sharper than before. His vision was clearer, and his hearing also became more sensitive.
Checking the large pot for more flesh, he sadly couldn't find any. Apart from the poisonous intestines, he had consumed all of the flesh from the Primeval beast including its bones.
He was about to sigh dejectedly when he caught sight of an object reflecting light like glass poking out from the intestine of the Obsidian-scaled Catfish.
Ever since he could remember, there shouldn't be such an object within the body of the catfish. Considering the fact that this beast was a Level 4 beast, Lucifer wasn't planning on letting anything different about it go.
Sifting through the innards, Lucifer bent and grabbed at the object. At first, he thought it was a plain glass but picking it out, it was a piece of dried up pinky finger that looked closely similar to the bark of a hundred year old tree.
It was actually the finger nail that reflecting light outward as it was crystal clear, very similar to a well polished diamond.
Lucifer scrunched up his face in disgust. He didn't think he would find a human body part within the body of the Obsidian-scaled Catfish.
Even after checking for several times, he couldn't figure out what was special about the finger apart from the fact that the nail was as hard as metal and even his dagger couldn't leave a single mark on it.
His brows then furrowed as he pondered. "Finding that spot within this continent is already considered luck.
Usually, even if I leave this place for twenty years, it is still impossible that this place will produce a Mutant beast not to mention a Fiend Beast.
Then how come another Primeval Beast appeared within this place apart from that cunning tentacle monster?
