Chapter 862: The Top of the Food Chain...... It's still food, too!
As one of the earliest and most basic transcendent abilities developed by human beings, the ability to mutate in the flesh was first proposed based on the theory of "human self-protection".
According to this theory, the human body originally had unimaginable power, but in order to protect the body from damage caused by excessive use of power, the subconscious of the brain added a "lock" to this power.
According to unscientific research, the current physical functions that human beings can use are only 10% to 20% of all functions, and professionally trained athletes can use a limited part of the extremely limited strength beyond the limit, and some historical geniuses often have brains beyond the utilization rate of ordinary people.
As a person with extraordinary abilities of physical mutation, the basis of his ability is to break through the "lock" that the subconscious has attached to his own power, and only under this premise can he develop the ability to greatly surpass ordinary human beings, including physical body and intelligence, so that the human body can be significantly improved in terms of strength, agility, regenerative power, etc.
However, the self-proclaimed human being at the top of the evolutionary chain has its own body structure, including organs and tissues and the cellular structure at the microscopic level, which is actually not perfect, because of this, in order to obtain the power of "superhuman", the most common method now is to introduce the genes of some beasts or insects to improve and strengthen the human genome itself, only in this way can people with physical mutation ability use more powerful power without worrying about the serious damage caused by overloading the body.
However, it is also because of this that there has always been a saying in the world of transcendent abilities that "human beings are actually failures from an evolutionary point of view".
Of course, no matter whether it is success or failure, it cannot change the fact that humanity has stood at the top of this planet, but because of this, as the human race at the top of the food chain, it needs to use the genes of those "lower intelligent beings" to make up for its own shortcomings, which is unacceptable to some radical supernatural people in any way.
Perhaps it is also because of the existence of this extreme thinking that most of the people with physical mutation ability were classified into the camp of evil villains, and in the same way, whether it is because of the mutation with the help of the genes of "lower creatures", or by virtue of their own ability to awaken, those with physical mutation ability have also been exploring the real and correct direction of "evolution".
Whether it is D.K or Dr. Abalone, both of whom have the ability to mutate in the flesh, these two evil villains are probably going to represent the two major directions of the present day - the former intends to create a truly perfect human form and grandly calls himself a "new human", while the latter ......
"At the end of the day, your abilities ...... Or is it within the realm of human beings? You can see this by calling yourself a 'new human'......"
With these words, Dr. Abalone's body began to change.
The muscles and internal organs of the cut waist began to be kneaded together in an abnormal posture, and although it looked abrupt and ugly, the fusion seemed extraordinarily smooth.
"Unfortunately, it is the human mind that limits your imagination, so you never imagined...... If human beings, who are the product of evolutionary failure, can reach the level you are now, then how can those 'non-humans' who possess more power than human genes go? ”
“…… You...... What do you say......"
I don't know if my inner will was really shaken by such words, D.K looked at Dr. Abalone in front of him with some uneasiness, and there was even a slight trilling in his voice.
"Don't you understand what I'm trying to say?"
With a harsh sound of bones grinding and muscles breaking, Dr. Abalone, who had remained in human form, suddenly ...... It burst.
Completely different from D.K.'s rough picture of flesh and blood being scattered and then reassembled, at the moment when Dr. Abalone changes, Yi Cheng can even clearly feel that he seems to have really disappeared from this world, as if he had lived up to his existence.
But in the next second, it was like gathering sand into a tower, and a new body seemed to be a combination of countless particles that came out of thin air, and instantly appeared in his eyes.
It was a very different body from a human—covered in pearl-colored, glittering carapace, with long forearms that folded together from the elbows, and hind legs that were unbelievably muscular, and which had a different form of knee reflex than humans.
If even such a four-legged form can barely be identified as a "humanoid", then, when the body is completely condensed, Yi Cheng discovered the most terrifying point.
The top of this body...... There is no presence of a head.
"Isn't that weird?"
Suddenly, a voice echoed softly in Yi Cheng's mind.
"As an organ of thinking, the brain is too fragile to need a strong skull to protect it, but this body structure makes the human head the most vulnerable part, and I have to say that this is really the greatest irony in the history of evolution......
“……”
Yi Cheng didn't speak, in fact, he was now too frightened to speak.
If it is possible to use strong mental power and observation to judge the other party's intentions in advance and read them in advance, then ...... What is this terrifying ability to directly engage the mind and mind into the neural reflexes of others, and organize them into rational language?
Just imagine, if there is such a being, he can easily interfere with your nerves and make you "hear" what he wants to express, then, with such an ability, can he also easily induce every nerve in your body to resonate, and even easily turn your brain into a mess?
"Don't worry, I don't want to kill you yet...... Seriously, you're here, maybe it's because of who you are as the 'main character.'"
Sure enough, it's not just a simple transmission of thoughts, but even the ability to read thoughts, although I don't know how Dr. Abalone did this, but when he heard him say "I don't want to kill you yet", Yi Cheng was really relieved.
If Yi Cheng was only frightened by Dr. Abalone's sudden changes and abilities, then the expression on D.K's face now clearly reads the word "fear".
"Do you feel it?"
I don't know if it's so that Yi Cheng, the protagonist, can "witness" everything next, on Dr. Abalone's brand-new body, the vocal organ that exists somewhere, emits a slightly harsh sound.
"See, as I said, you have evolved to the limits of what a human being can reach, and it may not be an exaggeration to call yourself a 'new human,' but that doesn't mean you've completely shut down your subconscious's protective instinct for this body......"
With a slight stroke of his forefoot, Dr. Abalone let out a satisfied laugh.
"Look, now...... Aren't those instincts reminding you...... Are you facing a being at a higher level of the food chain? ”
