The Ironback Azure Bear was as big as a truck, but Gustavo ate it all in just two days.
Countless nutrients were transported throughout the body via the blood vessels, and the Predator successfully launched another attack, devouring a large number of gene fragments.
Most of the Ironback Azure Bear's gene fragments are for strengthening the body, which is very useful to Gustavo. His [Exoskeleton Enhancement] talent has been strengthened again after he devoured the Land Turtle, and it is foreseeable that the improvement will be significant, considering that this is a peak Tier Seven magical beast.
Gustavo was delighted by his improved talent, but he was more concerned about how much useful spiritual information he could absorb.
Just like when he devoured the Land Turtle, Gustavo once again experienced some of the growth journey of the Ironback Azure Bear, and then a flood of memories rushed into his mind, a jumbled mess of things: hunting, sleeping, mating, playing...
Overwhelmed by the massive flow of memories, Gustavo felt a moment of disorientation, even having the illusion that he was the Ironback Azure Bear.
Gustavo shook his head violently, the energy stimulating his body and causing intense pain, finally bringing him back to his senses.
"Just as the panel says, the Soul Devourer can't be used too often. This is only the Ironback Azure Bear. If I were to devour the soul of a Sanctuary, I'd go insane. If I were to devour the soul of a Demigod or Epic being, I might even become a completely different person, right?"
Gustavo murmured with lingering fear, deciding to refrain from using the Soul Devourer to devour souls for a while.
"But the risks are great, but the rewards are also great! The Ironback Azure Bear's insights and experiences with gravity over nearly a century are all mine!" Gustavo looked at the remaining fragments of information in his mind, overjoyed.
"After that, all that's left is to absorb and integrate it, to make it my own!"
Thinking this, Gustavo lay on the ground, wrapped his body in spider silk, and quietly fell asleep.
During his slumber, thanks to the abundant nutrition provided by the Ironback Azure Bear and the influence of genetic fragments on his innate abilities, his body was also developing rapidly.
Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, sharp blades tore through the silken cocoon, revealing Gustavo, whose appearance had changed drastically.
Compared to before, his size had swelled again, reaching a height of 9 meters, almost touching the top of the cave. His blades were sharper, with dense and ferocious barbs.
These are not the most obvious changes. What truly makes him look vastly different from others is the change in his exoskeleton.
The silvery-white exoskeleton covers most of the body, especially the soft abdomen.
The bone thickness increased several times, and the surface was covered with upright spikes.
Overall, it looks like Gustavo is dressed in a suit of silver armor, adding a touch of Haki and majesty to his ferocious and terrifying appearance.
Open the information panel, and brand-new body data comes into view.
