Could This Brat Be Mocking This King?
Everyone was on high alert.
Despite Sashado's appearance, he didn't exude any imposing aura; in fact, none of the people present sensed much of a fluctuation in his spiritual energy.
However, anyone familiar with the monster's battle record would not dare to underestimate it.
Ian is outspoken and says whatever comes to mind.
What happened to you?
He frowned slightly; the "Host Body" before him was completely different from the original Sashado, who had recovered his kingly uncle appearance.
More like... a rat hiding in a ditch, so damp and gloomy.
Sashado did not answer directly, but looked at the sky inside the cave, where nearly half of the dome had been destroyed, and carefully examined the edges of the cracks, where a trace of heat still seemed to remain.
"I didn't expect you to get even stronger."
Sashado with emotion. If there was any human being he feared in this era, the boy before him was undoubtedly the only one.
The massive energy surge that just erupted was terrifying.
The blazing beam of light grazed past him at incredible speed, its reach astonishing.
Sashado believed that if that attack had unfortunately hit him, his Host Body would probably have disappeared.
He quickly came to his senses, his beastly eyes fixed on Ian, and said calmly.
"This era has changed drastically since the time I lived, and in order to cope with these uncertainties, I have chosen to go with the flow."
As he spoke, he raised his palm, and everyone stared at it, their expressions changing as they saw that the back of his hand was covered with dense scales.
At this moment, Sashado looked as if he had just undergone some kind of cicada molting.
"I have learned about the research on life by scientists of your time, and I also know that the essence of life actually originates from mutation..."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.
"Incredible! They're just ordinary people, yet they've explored the mysteries of life in such detail. In some ways, they're even more admirable than some of the powerful guards from my time. To explore a realm Gods can grasp with the bodies of ants..."
"Therefore, this clone is an experiment by this king."
"I want to see what kind of changes Gene mutations will bring to life."
As Sashado spoke, all the Hunters present felt a chill run down their spines and were somewhat disgusted.
This monster, which has existed for thousands of years, has somehow acquired some modern knowledge.
Some Hunters even speculated that the other party might have learned about some internationally prohibited life science research from the military of some countries.
"This guy is learning to play with life..."
"There's no way around it. Life Science research isn't truly prohibited in some countries. Even with strong restrictions from V5, their private research goes unnoticed. In this situation, leaking taboo knowledge naturally leads to such negative consequences."
Some Hunters whispered with grim expressions, while others remained calm, seemingly unsurprised that humanity would eventually cause such a crisis.
The Hunter Association is more independent than other countries because of this rebellious spirit.
The vast majority of them harbor strong resentment towards certain countries that conform to the collective will, believing that sooner or later, events that will lead to the destruction of humanity will emerge from these countries.
Although it is not yet possible to determine who is right and who is wrong.
However... there is no doubt that Sashado in front of us has mastered the biotechnology knowledge that humanity has acquired in this era of technological explosion.
Furthermore, the other party combined it with their own Nen Ability.
The combined effect of the two is unpredictable and could create a catastrophe.
Now everyone understood what the giant snake that could hide within "thought" was all about. At the same time, they were also worried that, given the other party's unrestrained mutation, it might one day give birth to a creature that could greatly harm ordinary people.
After all, the Hunters knew very well that ordinary humans were extremely vulnerable.
Just as everyone's expressions turned solemn.
"Slap! Slap! Slap!"
However, applause erupted on the field, drawing the attention of everyone present.
Ian clapped his hands, his eyes showing no unfounded worry, but rather genuine praise.
"That's good. It shows you're willing to learn new things, which means you're not as stubborn as you seem. I'm happy for you on behalf of Eluna and the others."
Everyone on the field was speechless, and even Sashado, who was about to introduce his new ability, fell silent.
It was supposed to be a very serious matter, but the way this kid said it made it sound kind of funny!
"So, you created all those creatures with strange abilities?"
Ian's eyes widened, and he asked curiously.
If true, then the Sashado Host Body in front of us really has mastered the technology to create Gene mutations.
Even more amazing than that!
He had observed that the vast majority of those creatures had only developed some strange abilities to varying degrees.
If we're talking about monsters that become so ugly they make you lose sanity, there really aren't any.
At the very least, it can be said that most of the mutations in the other party are towards superior Genes, and they retain a certain degree of stability.
Sashado paused for a moment. For some reason, seeing Ian's curious expression, he was reluctant to answer, but still managed a hoarse reply.
"That's right, they are all creatures born under the influence of my power..."
"Sharp!"
Ian gave him a thumbs up.
"What was the survival rate of those creatures? Or did only those survive, while the creatures that couldn't withstand the influence of your power all died?"
To be honest, if Sashado's Host Body's abilities are true...
Ian didn't want to destroy the other party; instead, he would do his utmost to preserve that Nen Ability.
This ability to guarantee positive Gene mutations is even considered a "revolutionary" achievement.
Why are the creatures of the Dark Continent so powerful?
Besides the fact that some of these creatures are unusually large, another important point is that they possess a wide variety of bizarre abilities that are currently beyond human comprehension.
Because the Dark Continent is too vast.
The geological environment is harsh and complex, which means that the organisms that survive there possess a wide variety of abilities to cope with these complex environments.
These creatures' abilities are far too unique for the native humans.
Of course, on the one hand, humans are too fragile, and on the other hand, they have never even seen those creatures that possess special and bizarre abilities.
Even though their abilities are perfectly reasonable in the Dark Continent, they can only occupy the middle of the food chain.
However, for the human continent, once they appear, it is equivalent to the invasion of alien species, which cannot be contained in a short period of time and may even lead to the extinction of humankind.
However, Sashado clearly didn't think as much as Ian did.
He just felt the other person was a bit noisy...
He couldn't help but look up and take a deep look at the young man, wondering to himself.
'Is this brat mocking me?'
