Chapter 479: Rapid Fusion!
Crimson blood seeped out from between his fingers, almost covering half of his face. But compared to the pain brought by the injury, he was more concerned about the situation of the troops.
As the vanguard troops for this invasion, their arrival on Earth had consumed enormous resources.
If the loss was severe, he, as the Commander, would be utterly unable to escape responsibility. With an anxious heart, he quickly looked around.
Soldier remains lay everywhere, and the battlefield was devastated. Even the few soldiers who had miraculously survived were now letting out cries of pain.
Looking at the scene before him, the Commander's eyes were about to split, and he couldn't help but roar, "No matter who you are! I will never let you go!"
"Hmm? You're their Officer?"
His red cape fluttering behind him, standing above the deep pit, Omni-Man, with slightly graying temples, cast an indifferent gaze towards the Commander.
Immediately after, his figure flashed, appearing before the Commander like a deity, his tone calm.
An extremely powerful sense of oppression enveloped the alien commander like a tangible entity.
His breathing was rapid. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the other party say, "No need to answer, I don't care."
The next second, a large hand wearing a red glove was placed on his head, and then...
With a fierce squeeze, *bang*, blood splattered, and his entire head exploded. Under Mark's gaze, a headless body silently collapsed onto the ground.
"Good luck, their Portal is still here." Omni-Man, who had lowered his arm, was as calm as if he had just crushed an ant.
He turned back to look at Mark and said in a deep voice, "When you do something, you have to root it out completely, otherwise they will keep coming back. By then, the number of deaths will only be greater than now."
Seeing Mark standing frozen in place, seemingly not yet recovered from the destruction just caused, Omni-Man immediately frowned and shouted with a tone of disappointment, "Follow me! I'll show you what the Viltrumite way of combat is!"
With that, he rushed into the Portal and disappeared from Mark's sight.
Mark hesitated greatly, but finally gritted his teeth and followed.
...
Xia Shang, who had entered the Portal earlier, sensed an abnormal change in his body as soon as he stepped into the other party's world.
The speed of cell metabolism was hundreds or thousands of times faster than before, and the data on the panel also showed that his remaining duration in the Invincible world was over two years.
But as he arrived in this world, the duration on it was rapidly draining away.
To verify his guess, he first teleported away from the group of crazed alien soldiers before him, and then transferred to an Uninhabited Zone not far from the Portal, specifically the top of a Building.
"Do you wish to fuse the talent skill, Star Pushing Strength?"
"Confirm."
As expected, as soon as the fusion began, the progress bar surged like it was on steroids. [Star Pushing Strength fusion, current progress 1%... 5%... 15%...]
Almost the instant he confirmed the fusion, all of Xia Shang's hearts suddenly beat violently at an extremely high frequency. Unspeakable pain instantly filled every cell.
Even he, whose will was far tougher than steel, found it difficult to maintain a clear consciousness under this intense pain!
He could clearly feel his cells splitting and metamorphosis! This process should have gently lasted for several years, but at this moment, it was compressed into a few minutes. The violent transformation of his cells even made it difficult for Xia Shang to maintain his human form.
His body temperature soared wildly, hot steam overflowed from the corners of his mouth, and countless openings cracked open on his body, from which flesh buds drilled out, dense and terrifying.
At the same time, his body size also continuously expanded with cell proliferation, like a pitch-black, massive dragon form flesh and blood growth, spreading outwards wantonly, like ivy, from top to bottom, seemingly wanting to cover and envelop the entire Building.
And countless hideous tentacles expanded outwards like roots, devouring all living creatures they could devour.
However, as the fusion progress advanced, the aberration on Xia Shang's body suddenly stopped abruptly!
The genes of the malignant aberration were shattered and absorbed by other stronger genes.
Xia Shang's consciousness also gradually returned. Only then did he understand that the Dragon Transformation Ability was completely a time bomb within him. While malignant proliferation could give him unparalleled body size in a very short time,
it would also devour his consciousness, and the massive body size produced by the proliferation would definitely be vulnerable before powerhouses like Omni-Man.
"Since that's the case, I'll take its essence and discard its dross. I don't need this Dragon Transformation Ability."
Xia Shang was extremely decisive. Cooperating with the changes brought to his body by Star Pushing Strength, he expelled some useless abilities, or crushed and fused them...
Of course, this process was not complete. To completely finish this process, he would probably need to fuse Eve's atomic manipulation.
As time flew by, the progress bar now reached seventy percent.
Large numbers of tentacles withered and weathered, and countless flesh and blood condensed into one body.
At this moment, Xia Shang's body structure gradually stabilized. The increase in strength also enhanced his physique. It was just a pity that unless he fused Omni-Man's Viltrumite Physique, he still couldn't unleash the full strength of Star Pushing Strength due to his own physical strength.
It could be said that Star Pushing Strength was the strongest talent skill he had fused so far, without exception.
It could be considered the cornerstone of universe-level combat power.
The abnormal phenomenon of the unidentified creature enveloping the Building quickly attracted the attention of the Alien Force. But before they could dispatch the army to investigate the situation, a figure flying out from the Portal completely captured all their attention.
Without hesitation, without communication, without even pausing for a moment.
Omni-Man was like a flying nuclear bomb, traversing through the alien city, causing continuous intense explosions. If one were on the planet, they would witness this terrifying scene: countless buildings wantonly destroyed, leveled to the ground! After using his bare body to smash a satellite, Omni-Man returned to the surface, lifting a hill with one hand and grabbing Mark with the other. He descended above the Alien Command Center next to the Portal. He looked down upon the terrified faces of the aliens, and said:
"You don't seem to understand, Earth is not for you to conquer."
After speaking, he let go, allowing the hill to fall!
"No!" Mark shouted.
Boom! After the earth-shattering impact, a powerful civilization... perished!!
"Did you see the fate of this planet? It was created by just one Viltrumite. Have you ever thought about the scene of the Viltrum Empire invading Earth?"
In the distance, Xia Shang, who had finished fusing, silently watched these tragic scenes, then teleported into the Portal without staying.
Because if he stayed any longer, his remaining duration would end. Now, only the last two months remained.
