Raize had just finished breakfast and was already in his room clearing the fully unlocked Prototype. He had not rested all night, playing games straight through until morning. After finishing Subnautica, he immediately shifted his focus to the newly unlocked game.
Now, under Raize's skilled play, this game also officially came to an end.
[Ding, congratulations to the player, game clearance complete]
Raize stretched lazily and squinted at the notification text in front of him. He was already eager to obtain what he wanted.
[This game clearance reward is Peak Alex Mercer's Template, three vials of Original Redlight Virus, three vials of Original Blacklight Virus, three vials of Controllable Human Enhancement Serum. Extract now?]
When he saw the first reward, the corner of Raize's mouth lifted slightly. This run had already paid for itself.
Peak Alex template meant Raize could directly obtain Alex's power at its peak development in Prototype 1. None of the special combat forms would be missing.
The Original Redlight Virus was the predecessor of the Blacklight Virus. Its most perfect host in the game's story was Elizabeth, while the Blacklight Virus was Alex's derivative evolved from Redlight.
In Raize's view, the Controllable Human Enhancement Serum was likely what Blackwatch used in the storyline to create super soldiers. Its value was also significant, and with Raize's abilities, it could be mass-produced once fully researched.
As for the two viruses, they would add new possibilities to Raize's power in future research. If he could obtain other samples and innovate derivatives on the original virus, he himself would be the greatest beneficiary.
"Extract."
Everything except the power inheritance was placed into the inventory space. The black-red light orb representing the power inheritance instantly appeared in front of Raize.
He could feel the violent power contained within this black-red orb. Under Raize's focused gaze, it slowly descended and merged into his chest.
In an instant, sharp pain spread throughout Raize's body, but it lasted only a moment. Although this orb representing Blacklight Virus power was extraordinary and its transformation is extremely aggressive, Kirby's power held higher priority than Blacklight.
After the cellular-level pain faded in an instant, the Blacklight power was easily assimilated by Kirby's power and converted into a gentler form of transformation energy.
Raize now felt no discomfort or pain at all. With his original physical quality, fusing with the Blacklight Virus would only have caused minor fusion side effects, and the final result would still have satisfied him.
However, Kirby's power was utterly unreasonable toward external forces, acting as if it were the boss and anything that came later could only be a subordinate. No matter how special it was, it would be assimilated and completely mastered by Raize.
A vast and intense aura of vitality condensed within his body and compressed into every single cell, making his physique incomparably powerful and terrifying.
The last time he experienced such a deep bodily metamorphosis was when he ate the golden apple. The exhilaration of this transformation was simply irresistible.
Raize lowered his head and looked at himself. He could clearly feel smooth, resilient muscles beneath his skin.
He carefully examined his palm. The skin carried a translucent, hazy texture, and the nails on his ten fingers were transparent like crystal.
"Huh, it's not over yet?"
Raize's physique had undergone significant changes, but he could feel that the transformation was still continuing.
Blood surged, his heart pounding violently and heavily, like a pump sending scorching blood throughout his body. Accompanied by the roaring sound of blood flow, a destructive, rigid force exploded outward from within.
Raize discovered that the energy within his body was rapidly being consumed by cellular evolution, accelerating division and evolution. His body felt like it was burning, its life functions in extreme chaos.
His powerful body contained a great amount of energy, but precisely because it was so strong, the energy required for evolution was even greater.
Sensing his energy being devoured by cellular evolution, Raize's expression changed. He immediately took out the remaining red orbs from the million red orbs and swallowed them directly.
The pure energy was quickly broken down inside his body, but it was still far from enough. The signals his body sent indicated it was nowhere near sufficient.
There were not many red orbs left from his last training. After swallowing the final hundred thousand units of red orbs, Raize discovered with a twitch at the corner of his mouth that his body still had not reached saturation.
"I'll keep eating!"
He took out the fantasy ingredients he had stored and on the farm, stuffing everything into his mouth and directly absorbing them. After finishing, he entered accelerated mode and began devouring the prepared fantasy dishes.
Ham Shellfish, Char Siu Leaves, Grilled Gator and Demon Serpent Meat, Bliss Rice, Diamond Crab, Sweet Cola, and more.
Raize's eyes were wide open, his jaw moving too fast to be seen clearly, enjoying the delicacies while replenishing his body.
Suddenly, with every bite Raize took, each cell in his body transmitted an indescribable sense of happiness. In an instant, it filled his entire body, nearly overflowing.
His stomach still had not sent any feeling of fullness. Instead, the hunger only intensified. He no longer bothered identifying ingredients, simply stuffing anything with an enticing aroma into his mouth.
Waves of flavor even more delicious than before crashed against his tongue. Immersed in this blissful comfort, Raize also noticed that his body was still undergoing constant transformation.
"Damn it, still not enough?"
Checking his inventory, he saw precious medicines and ingredients rapidly decreasing. The remaining ingredients all required processing to reach peak flavor. After finishing all the food left in the room, Raize split off a shadow clone and immediately rushed downstairs.
Food, food, food.
I want more and better food.
When Raize ran downstairs, under Eu and Sei's strange gazes, he had his clone start cooking while he placed all the ingredients that needed processing in the kitchen.
Asia, who was cleaning, looked strangely at Raize devouring food at the dining table. Wearing home clothes and holding a vacuum cleaner, she asked nervously:
"Raize-san, you are…"
What was going on with this appearance, like a glutton incarnate? This eating speed was far too fast.
Laffey sniffed lightly, catching the scent of food. Wearing her bunny slippers, she ran over to Raize's side. She was not hungry, but she felt that the commander's condition was a bit strange.
