181 Display of Real Power (1/2)

But that is only because Melvin is not taking this seriously, at least against the Chinese grunts standing guard outside the building.

They are grunts because they basically have muscle for brain, but even so, they are more than enough to handle normal people, for humans are quite squishy in comparison.

Against actual Hybrid is a different story, however. More so when it is against a Hybrid from the latter generation, who are just more naturally gifted in contrast to the previous generation.

That power difference remains true despite the diluting of their bloodline, but I suppose that Mother Nature is just very good at her job. Naturally.

”Slow!?”

Melvin questions and glares at me. He stands up straight as his eyes change slightly. Slits could be seen within them now. In addition to his elongated teeth, it gives him a feral-like appearance.

That is not really surprising to me since most if not all Hybrids can transform certain part of their body, including parts that shouldn't be transformed at all.

And the extend of the transformations depends on a lot of factors and conditions, but the general rule is that the greater the transformations the better. This is because transformation amplifies all of their natural abilities as well as enhanced ones, such as rapid cellular regeneration.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Thanks to the said regeneration, the wounds on his hands and arms thanks to me have healed almost completely, but I actually have what I needed from his blood.

His genetic is being assimilated into my biomechanical avatar.

Assimilation is just one of the many abilities that are available to all my biomechanical construct. Since turning Bruce into a hulking bodyguard for my young apprentice in another reality, the ability has been upgraded to the point that it is beyond overpowering.

It is just one of my overpowering abilities.

None of those abilities are actually needed for what I have in mind really, not even my temporal power, as I am already faster and stronger than most Hybrids.

And I will become stronger as I assimilate more genetic materials into the avatar. Legion might not be as good as Mother Nature, but he is pretty good. He has plenty of practice after all.

”Yes. Slow. Very.”

I repeat expressionlessly. I am paying more attention to the list of abilities that I can activate all thanks to assimilating Melvin's blood. I wonder what kind of abilities I would get if I acquire more materials.

Obviously, it would be easy to just let Legion swarms everyone everywhere, but I already did that. And I like to try new things.

Variety is the spice of life after all.

My eyes narrow slightly as Melvin charges at me with blinding speed. It is fast, but still not fast enough to become 'invisible' like I have demonstrated. It is still faster than most people can react at this point, however.

That means all of his physical abilities have increased several folds.

The guards are shocked at his speed, but they are speechless when I merely tilt my head to the side in order to dodge his straight thrust.

And instead of actually stepping out of the way to evade him, I stretch my hand out and plant my palm casually against his chest.

With a light nudge, I use his momentum to send him flying backwards. If he was just a normal human, his chest would have caved in from the resulting force alone.

Luckily, he isn't.

But that didn't mean Melvin didn't feel the shock to his heart. Even as a Hybrid, he still has a heart as well as a brain. His dad wishes he uses his brain more often.

Then again, if Melvin did use his brain, he wouldn't be here, allowing me to toy with him. His younger brother and sister are here too. They are watching from afar.

I am actually more interested in Akira and Sara than Melvin. Being born to different mothers actually is very beneficial to those two. Their powers and potentials are greater than Melvin's from what I can gather from the reports.

Of course, I will have to see it with my own eyes to truly understand. What is on paper aren't necessary true from my experience.

”A bit faster, but you are still very slow. I wonder what kind of H… Chimera are you.”

I comment and straighten my neck. I almost let slip something that would have given me away. Hybrid is actually my term to describe animal-human hybridization, and it is not really used by anyone else.

The Chinese uses the term Chimera just like the United States.

Japanese and Korean also have their own term, but I am not going to bother to pronounce that term in their language. It seems unnecessary.

As a matter of fact, most countries have their own term to describe Hybrid. It is pretty much depending on their researches and experimentations. Advanced human is also one of those terms, including the term Evolved, which is restricted to humans with psionic potential in Hydra.

In any case, it all means the same thing – Hybrids.

Melvin coughs and grips his chest in discomfort. He seems to realize now that I am far out of his league, but he is reluctant to back off. Doing so would mean he admits defeat.

He is too prideful to admit defeat even against someone who is physically superior. It is a trait common amongst the 2nd generation. They just didn't live through the horrors of being experimented upon as their fathers and mothers did.

Being starve of life does make one appreciate life, not to mention more humble.
