Reset of The Apocalypse - Chapter 40
Compared to the jumbo crocodile’s size, it could simply ignore the Black Hole Bomb that was like a little fly. However, when the unimposing tiny black sphere knocked on its head, the air between heaven and earth seemed to stop flowing. All the elements including particles, wind, water, light, dust, and everything else stopped moving.
It was like time froze before the sky was trembling in the next moment. A blinding black light erupted from the black sphere, as if ready to devour the entire world.
The black light expanded swiftly and enveloped the Golden Crocodile’s head.
There was no explosion nor loud boom. The black sphere engulfed a large portion of the Golden Crocodile like a black mouth that swallowed the reptile.
Roar!
The agonizing growl of the Golden Crocodile came from the inside the onyx light sphere.
Lin Chao was silently shocked. The Black Hole Bomb lived up to its status as a B Tier disposable; its power was comparable to the strength of an A Tier item as everything within the black light sphere was swiftly disintegrating into the small particles.
‘The jumbo croc probably won’t be completely shattered based on its large physique. If a few pieces of its bones were left, I can make excellent cold weapons from them, I can even extract the bone marrow for experiments. It’ll be invaluable.’ Lin Chao kept his eyes on the black globe of light.
A few seconds later as the ball of black light gradually shrank and the inside was revealed, but it was a stark contrast from Lin Chao’s imagination. The jumbo crocodile was still alive!
It was covered in blood, its upper jaw was fully mutilated. The sharp teeth on its lower jaw as well as a chunk of its charred tongue were exposed. The reptile’s head was severely mangled with half of its head lost; a mixture of brains and blood was pouring out. It had lost its left eye while its right eye was half shut. No longer its earlier savage self, it was left only with pain and terror.
Lin Chao dumbfounded. It did not die!
The damaging capacity of the Black Hole Bomb was close to a missile with a nuclear warhead. It could blow up a tank into nothing but it could not destroy a creature of flesh and blood!
What sort of bone density and muscular strength does this jumbo crocodile possess!
The reptile had grown to such an extent with the virus outbreak having happened for less than half a month ago. Given a few more months, it could probably become a Level S king of beast. By then, a cannon on a tank or even a nuclear bomb that could destroy a city, would not kill it easily unless accurately aimed at its body.
The jumbo crocodile had completely lost its belligerence. It looked at Lin Chao who was in the sky in petrification, feeling the shadow of death from the tiny creature. If there were another explosive like this, it would die without a doubt. As the overlord of this zoo, it was the crocodile’s first time to feel fear since birth.
Roar!
It growled lowly and turned around. Its towering body that was like a small mountain scampered toward the faraway.
Bam, bam, bam!
The earth shook like an earthquake. Forests and buildings in front of the crocodile were destroyed as it swiftly disappeared into the horizon.
Looking at the crocodiles fleeing back, Lin Chao humorlessly chuckled. Its vitality was terrifyingly strong, still able to maintain such a high speed. If he were to give chase, he probably would not be able to kill it. The B Tier Black Hole Bomb was a waste; if he had known about this earlier, he would have changed it into an A Tier explosive. However, that would probably blow the reptile up to absolutely nothing, also being unbeneficial to him.
Lin Chao descended powerlessly as he gazed at the crocodile island in shambles. There were still plenty of normal mutated crocodiles in it, he might as well collect something from them.
As he came down, the mutated crocs smelled him instantly swarming to him, pointy teeth put on gaping as they roared. They did not possess high intelligence, so it did not cross their minds that this human would never be their prey when their big boss had just fled him.
Lin Chao hovered at an approximate height of seven meters and utilized the Modified Dragon Wings on his back.
Ploop, ploop, ploop…
Steel-like black feathers shot from the dragon wings with the speed faster than a bullet. The penetration force was extremely powerful, easily pinning the seething crocodiles to the ground.
Nonetheless, the mutated crocs from the back remained thronging.
Lin Chao flew over with his wings which acted like a machine gun, shooting pieces of sharp raven feather and puncturing the flocking crocodiles along the way.
A tour around the crocodile island later, there was nothing alive anymore. All the mutated crocodiles were killed by the raven feathers; there were even a few of them that reached two meters in height and one more that was twelve meters in length, a glance was enough to tell their physique exceeded normal mutated crocodiles.
In spite of it, there was no difference under the attack of the feathers. All of them were punctured through the head and killed with one feather each!
Although Lin Chao would be able to kill them without the modified wings as well, the process would definitely not be as effortless.
Pulling out his flying knife, Lin Chao dissected them one by one.
Lumps of white genetic zest were collected, the handful of mutated crocs that were bigger in size had green genetic zests, while the twelve meter long croc had dark silver genetic zest which came as a pleasant surprise to Lin Chao.
Swallowing more than two hundred white genetic zests, his physique had only increased two times, one hundred white genetic zests per one time physique on average. When his physique reached seventeen times, he probably needed more than three hundred white genetic zests to be able to upgrade to eighteen times physique!
It would be harder the more his physique improved.
At this time, the qualitative difference of genetic zests was distinct. Lin Chao had only used eight green genetic zests to pull himself up to eighteen times while the consumption of the dark silver genetic zest had boosted his physique from eighteen times directly to twenty times!
That was two full times of enhancement!
A dark silver genetic zest could probably replace ten thousand white genetic zests.
‘The saturated feeling…’ Lin Chao clenched his fist. When his physique arrived at twenty times more enhanced, his body felt swollen. He was familiar with this feeling. This occurs when the cells were saturated. Once the physique is enhanced once more, the evolving would occur!
Looks like the Multi Evolved’s cell saturation level is twenty times. This means that my basic physique when I evolved to Level E will be on par to a Level D Special Evolved’s. Lin Chao mumbled to himself, “I wonder how many times of basic physique I need to evolve to Level D.”
Upon standing up in preparation to leave, Lin Chao was halfway in his flight when he suddenly remembered that he had not been to the center of the crocodile island yet. Flapping his wings, he flew over the murky lake and came to the island in the middle.
Hmm? Gold eggs?
Once he got here, Lin Chao saw a nest of gold crocodile eggs on the lawn that was left to soak in the sunlight. Each egg was as tall as two people and the eggshell looked like it was made from gold, completely different from the usual greyish shell.
