Nuclear Fission

"But not fusion—fission instead? Sure enough, if I wanted something close to perpetual motion, I'd have to find True Godzilla."

With his body strengthened by several hundred times in his normal state, the power of his other abilities naturally became much greater as well. Not to mention, Chang Wei had discovered that his body could now maneuver at supersonic speeds.

Every punch and kick was supersonic, capable of unleashing unstoppable destructive power.

"Hungry!"

Chang Wei immediately felt hunger. There was food in the center of Manhattan Island, which had been utterly destroyed by the Nuclear Bomb Explosion and turned into a sea of fire and ruins...

"The taste of Uranium-235 and Plutonium-239... Looks like my diet will have to change from now on."

Chang Wei considered it. Compared to the nearly limitless Atomic Energy of nuclear power, the energy of biomass and life forms was far too insignificant. Unless necessary, he would no longer need to prey on other life forms—unless that life form possessed special genes or abilities.

But this was also a good thing. Abundant nuclear and atomic energy meant thermal energy and electrical energy, and he would not need to worry about lacking energy for evolution. Nor would he have to worry about being drained dry like Alex, unable to continue regenerating the Blacklight Virus and dying.

"A 475-kiloton ballistic missile... There should still be quite a bit of Nuclear Fuel left that didn't completely burn and release its energy..."

Chang Wei had never been so ravenous. Such mouthwatering delicacies—deadly radioactive materials.

He breathed in the Radioactive Dust in the air. Each breath was death passing through his lungs, absorbing all the radiation before the dust surged back out through his nose and mouth.

He found a small portion of the Highly Enriched Uranium layer from the Fusion Secondary. He had originally planned to study it before deciding whether to eat it, but his bodily instinct was far faster than his thoughts. With a gulp, he swallowed it.

The scalding yet sweet taste slid down his throat, making it itch from the heat. Steam began rising from his entire body, thick smoke billowing visibly into the air.

The evolved Blacklight Virus cells each opened uranium absorption valves capable of absorbing uranium, instantly digesting the uranium he had swallowed. Another group of electrical storage cells converted the nuclear energy into electricity for storage, serving a purpose similar to human fat cells.

As a result, Chang Wei immediately looked much more muscular. The external appearance of these electrical storage cells was similar to muscle, and they also provided excellent protection.

The third type was discharge cells. Chang Wei's Blacklight Virus had abandoned mechanisms such as the evolved electrical discharge organs of Electric Eels. The discharge cells it evolved could gather the electrical energy within the storage cells and release energy similar to Godzilla's Atomic Breath according to Chang Wei's will—namely, the release of nuclear energy!

"Hot."

Chang Wei opened his mouth, and a fire serpent spewed forth, shooting more than a hundred meters away and forming a pillar of flame!

The terrifying heat warped the air. Chang Wei was rapidly releasing the heat inside his body; otherwise, he might die from overheating.

A red glow produced by the Blacklight Virus cells operating within him overflowed across the surface of his body.

"This state is too terrifying. I need to think of something..."

Chang Wei found the core Uranium-235 that had not been completely burned, as well as the innermost Lithium Deuteride. The lethal, intense radiation capable of breaking molecular bonds within living organisms felt like a gentle breeze brushing his face. Everywhere he passed, the radiation level rapidly fell.

After all, it had been a nuclear warhead with a yield of over four hundred thousand tons. Even that tiny bit of "residue" was enough to make Chang Wei feel full.

This was the result of absorbing an enormous amount of nuclear energy, and Chang Wei came up with a solution: "transforming."

He would evolve this state, in which all his nuclear-powered Blacklight Virus cells had been activated, into a transformation of his own, while using his usual state normally.

Otherwise, whether in terms of consumption or anything else, it was simply too excessive. Although Chang Wei was nowhere near as massive as Godzilla and theoretically did not need so much Nuclear Fuel or a rich planetary core, his digestive capacity was stronger than Godzilla's. Every cell in his body was an energy-devouring Blacklight Virus cell. He could not sustain that level of consumption.

All he needed to do was let the system handle this. Chang Wei quickly completed a minor evolution and temporarily put "Blacklight Nuclear Fission" into dormancy.

As long as he absorbed nuclear energy, it would continuously alter and strengthen his body, but it could also leave him depleted to death. Chang Wei did not want that. There were still countless worlds, countless viruses, and countless genes waiting for him.

Besides, perhaps one day he would discover an energy source even more outrageous and powerful than nuclear energy.

By then, the Blacklight Virus had already spread across the entire world. Although Chang Wei's Nuclear Fission was dormant, the strengthening effects from before its dormancy remained.

He shot into the sky and reached the stratosphere in moments. The effects of the stratosphere could amplify climate processes, turning local processes into global climate processes.

There were not many rising or descending air currents here; the air mainly moved horizontally. He had come here to use the wind speed of the stratosphere to release the Blacklight Virus all at once, polluting the entire stratosphere and infecting the whole world!

"Blacklight, descend upon this world!"
