Chapter 141: The Beginning of Fusion Enhancement (Please Subscribe)
Fragments of Titan flesh fused with the human body.
The original skin must be peeled away so that the blood vessels come into direct contact with the Titan flesh, allowing it to begin integrating into the body's life systems.
This marks the beginning of the fusion and enhancement process.
Mere contact with the skin is useless.
Therefore, Saeko holding the Godzilla fragments taken from the basement was not in any danger.
"According to the vast amount of research data from Akaha," Kyo Hakudo paced solemnly before the kneeling Saeko and spoke seriously.
"The unknown energy within the Titan flesh is the fundamental cause of changes in the human body. If we utilize the 'Nen' born from the human body, it should be possible to directly access this energy."
When he was in the basement, using his reinforced hand strike to cut the Godzilla flesh, he vaguely sensed this energy.
It was as if from the edge of his strike, a force akin to a catalyst followed the flow of Nen and sought to return to the body.
Unlike the aggressive nature displayed by Titan flesh in transplantation, this was a comforting sensation.
This gave him the confidence to let Saeko begin her trial directly.
The purple-haired beauty knelt on the tatami mat.
Concentrating, she struggled somewhat but steadily controlled the recently acquired life energy.
As she skillfully opened a rift using the initially mastered "Binding" technique, she enveloped a small piece of Godzilla flesh in her palm.
Within the pupil of Kyo Hakudo’s eye, shimmering with blue and violet rings, the sight was unmistakable.
Thin strands of azure energy gradually merged with the rising and falling tide of Nen as she breathed.
Following the flow of Nen both inside and outside her body, it slowly penetrated deep into her muscles.
The transformation first manifested in her palm.
Her hands, long and slender from years of sword training, began to sprout a fine layer of scales, and even her nails took on a dangerously sharp curve.
Then the changes spread to her arms, neck, torso...
The intensity of her bodily transformation rivaled that of the research institute's subjects, yet the enhancer’s reactions were far more stable.
Throughout, Saeko barely disturbed her breathing rhythm.
Finally, amidst the tearing sound of her kimono, before Kyo Hakudo stood a tall figure radiating a wild, primal beauty.
She rose slowly on the tatami with the tearing kimono.
Barefoot, she was almost as tall as him, perhaps even a bit taller.
Her muscles were fuller, exuding an untamable wildness.
The naturally ample curves of her body became even more striking.
The combination of scales and her dark blue-black skin lacked the grotesqueness seen in the institute’s enhanced subjects.
Instead, it radiated an inorganic, sharp beauty, like a blade with graceful curves.
As Kyo Hakudo became entranced by this almost artistic spectacle...
A chill suddenly crept up his spine.
Their eyes met.
Wait—what was the meaning behind that fiery gaze?!
Before Kyo Hakudo could react, a tail shimmering with a dangerous cold light slid out gracefully from behind her enticing curves.
It wrapped gently around his neck.
Then, with a sudden motion, it pulled him close.
Her face, adorned with scales and even more alluring, pressed against his.
The heat of her breath warmed his face, igniting an involuntary fire within the young man’s body.
"Alright, I get it," Kyo Hakudo said with a straight face, nodding. "But could you be a little gentler? I actually liked this outfit you bought me..."
"Rip!"
"Never mind... ugh!"
Bestiality—referring to the nature of beasts.
In the natural world, it is commonly expressed through hunting and reproduction.
~~~~~~
Early the next morning, Kyo Hakudo left the chaotic refuge.
The previous night, two humanoid creatures capable of supersonic speed had spent the night in a cramped room.
Kyo Hakudo had underestimated the bestiality in the Godzilla flesh; despite reproductive urges dominating, Saeko’s inherent brutality showed itself several times, leaving him somewhat exhausted.
When he stepped out this morning, he noticed the small hill beneath the refuge had slightly deformed.
Driving through the still-ruined streets of Tokyo, he was headed to the underground research facility to test his physical stats and observe other enhancers’ scientifically guided training, comparing it to the "Dragon Blood Secret Method."
Kyo Hakudo weaved his sturdy off-road vehicle through rubble, occasionally dodging crowds protesting in front of the Nippon Cabinet.
He spoke on the phone with his master.
"...Yes, Saeko will bring you some gifts this afternoon."
"Yes, the same 'special' things I brought back last time. She will guide you on how to use them."
"Haha! I advise you not to underestimate her. Although she won’t bring a blade this time, believe me, that’s because ordinary swords can no longer contain her power."
Amid the admiration and anticipation from the other end, the call ended.
Kyo Hakudo arrived at the entrance of the underground research institute.
He opened the door and stepped out; the off-road vehicle suddenly felt light beneath him.
Given his current height, weight, and muscular build, even this muscle car seemed somewhat cramped.
Inside the facility, he found himself on the corridor displaying failed enhancements.
Today, in the last room, was Akaha, looking impatient.
Apparently, he and Dr. Hideo worked in shifts.
Taking the elevator down to the underground space, Kyo Hakudo casually grabbed a hurried researcher.
The researcher’s impatience vanished when he saw the surgical scars on Kyo Hakudo’s bare chest; cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Even without malice, the ferocity picked up from struggling against their bestial nature made ordinary enhancers terrifying.
It was no wonder that prolonged contact with them could cause psychological breakdowns.
Though Kyo Hakudo’s aura was subdued thanks to the "Dragon Blood Secret Method," the sight of the scars instinctively frightened the researcher.
Seeing his nervousness, Kyo Hakudo wasted no time and asked where the enhancers usually gathered, then left him to his work.
Following directions, he arrived at a round dome building, clearly separated from the others by a buffer zone.
It resembled a large indoor sports arena.
At the closed door, Kyo Hakudo grasped the handle.
"Hmm? This weight..."
The heaviness was surprising; it felt denser than steel.
As the sliding door opened slightly, a familiar scent of rust filled his nostrils.
Along with it came a subtle satisfaction from the authentic Godzilla blood coursing through his veins.
Comforted by this sensation, he took a deep breath.
Only then did he realize:
"This feeling... is radiation?"
Pressing gently against the wall of the building, his finely tuned senses picked up the texture.
"Lead-lined reinforced concrete—there’s definitely radiation inside. Looks like they’ve discovered using radiation to train."
As Kyo Hakudo confirmed the changes within his body, a voice, warm and familiar as an old friend’s, called out.
"Hey! Mr. Hakudo?"
Two blond, blue-eyed foreigners he had seen yesterday approached with polite, enthusiastic smiles.
Their expressions were like devoted fans finally meeting their idol.
But when Kyo Hakudo looked at the older foreigner, his eyes involuntarily flickered.
"Not the same person as yesterday..."
