Chang Wei might not have been as large as monsters like Goliath and Hydra that had been infected by the Blacklight Virus, but his density and mass far surpassed theirs.
Just like a fist-sized chunk of steel and a foam box—the former was certainly not as big as the latter, but it could effortlessly destroy it!
Chang Wei was not surprised that the Blacklight Virus on his surface was destroyed so quickly. If a nuclear bomb could not do even that, it would not be a nuclear bomb.
Right now, he was like a ball of ants clumped together. The outer ants sacrificed themselves solely to protect those inside. The difference was that Chang Wei had deliberately used the nuclear bomb to force his Blacklight Virus to evolve!
The Blacklight Virus could evolve specifically to resist abilities that harmed or destroyed it. Faced with the forty-million-ton impact, heat, and radiation produced by the Nuclear Warhead, the Blacklight Virus—personally advanced by Chang Wei into the Super Blacklight Virus—had potential that already far exceeded Elizabeth's and Alex's.
So Chang Wei eagerly anticipated whether it could evolve under the pressure of a nuclear bomb without relying on the system!
The nuclear explosion ended. The most prosperous area of Manhattan Island, as well as the place with the most Blacklight Virus creatures, had been destroyed.
However, before that, Chang Wei had already sent his subordinates away from Manhattan Island by water.
Across the ground, where radiation levels far exceeded the limit, the surface had been scorched into a glass-like structure. Heavy footsteps emerged from the nuclear blast zone.
With every step Chang Wei took, a large mass of distorted Blacklight Virus peeled from his body, falling to the ground while still twisting and writhing.
"Evolve! Evolve for me!"
"Absorb radiation! I want to become Godzilla!"
"Come on! There's no reason an enhanced Blacklight Virus can't do what Godzilla can!"
"Isn't it just a nuclear reactor? No matter how unscientific it is, can it be more unscientific than the Blacklight Virus?"
This was Chang Wei's first time experiencing the agony caused by intense radiation. His body seemed to be tearing apart, yet also as though it had been shoved into a hydraulic press and crushed to pulp. The countless pains and torments were almost more than even he could bear.
Left with no choice, Chang Wei controlled the secretion of hormones in his body and converted the pain into pleasure.
"Hahahaha!"
Chang Wei rolled around on the ground like a madman. It was too stimulating!
The instant it turned into pleasure, Chang Wei came. This pleasure far exceeded that little thing between a man and a woman, far more intense than the pleasure released by any psychoactive drug. His dopamine concentration surged five thousandfold and kept rising.
Chang Wei felt unbelievably high.
So he gave himself a slash to calm down.
Half his head was cut off, but it regenerated instantly. That brief moment of clarity made Chang Wei immediately suppress all his hormones and block his pain receptors.
He watched his body begin to rot. It seemed that even the evolved, enhanced Blacklight Virus could not withstand such intense radiation.
It was hard to imagine that this was a modern, improved nuclear bomb, one whose Nuclear Radiation was not as severe as that of the Atomic Bombs of the past.
But Chang Wei still had the system as his trump card, so he was not in much of a hurry.
The amount of DNA information contained in Chang Wei's body was now roughly eight times that of a human. It included not only reptilian traits, but also those of other creatures such as fish and birds.
This allowed him to gain the ability to adapt to different environments without undergoing lengthy reproduction and evolution.
"It's here."
Chang Wei sensed the changes in his body. As it continued to rot, his lower body had decayed all the way up to his chest, while his upper body was also so rotten that it no longer looked human, exposing his bones.
New Blacklight Virus began to grow. The ample energy Chang Wei had stored beforehand became the key to evolution.
Without the Blacklight Virus constantly growing and regenerating, there would be no Blacklight Virus like this now.
Chang Wei could feel the burning sensation around him disappear. He had only blocked his pain receptors; his other senses, such as touch, remained.
"Has the radiation decreased?"
He stood up again, his body brimming with strength, as though it contained power capable of destroying the world. The feeling was unprecedentedly wonderful.
"Boom!"
Chang Wei threw a punch. The air was instantly punched through, creating a vacuum effect, and then a half-collapsed building several hundred meters in front of him shattered completely.
To destroy a building with one punch from so far away—was it because it had become fragile after being ravaged by the nuclear bomb, or because Chang Wei's strength was simply too great?
"It isn't generated inside the body, but inside the cells?"
Chang Wei looked on in surprise. He could sense the minute changes in his body, not to mention he had the system as an auxiliary tool.
The system indicated that every cell in Chang Wei's body—or rather, every Blacklight Virus cell—had gained an organ similar to a nuclear reactor, capable of digesting Radioactive Material and absorbing radiation.
His musculoskeletal system, nervous system, endocrine system, circulatory system, and digestive system had all undergone radical transformations in order to utilize nearly limitless Atomic Energy.
The body reconstructed through this was more than hundreds of times stronger than before!
