Chapter 178 Dragon-Man Body, Ultimate Form
A thick, black tail emerged from behind, as if cast from metal, with a sharp blade at the end.
A tail?
Where did this tail come from?
My tail?
I've grown a tail?
Aoki was a little confused. What had he become?
Being assimilated by an Imperial Arm would turn him into a corresponding Super Dangerous Beast.
However, his situation was slightly different.
First, the power of the Dangerous Beast was controlled by the system. Second, the "Infinite Dragon Beast" was a fusion of multiple bloodlines, not a single Super Dangerous Beast bloodline.
Aoki looked at his sharp claws and thought of another question.
"Was the previous intense pain part of the body modification?"
Although there was no evidence, he felt that his guess was likely correct.
A thought flashed through Aoki's mind, and a mirror appeared in his hand. He looked down.
A jet-black dragon head appeared in the mirror, as if cast from metal, majestic and ferocious. Its eyes were still golden vertical pupils, but the color was even more intense, like two blazing golden flames.
Four horns sprouted from its head, forming a natural crown, and its mouth was filled with ferocious, sharp teeth, resembling two rows of saws.
Below, it had a long, slender neck, red markings on its chest, and long, sharp claws, each forearm bearing a grotesque bone blade.
Its lower limbs were thick and powerful, its claws driven into the ground like nails.
Overall, its body was predominantly black, with red markings on its chest and limbs, exuding a ferocious, majestic, and uniquely beautiful aura, like a sophisticated yet dangerous killing machine.
"Holy crap!"
Aoki muttered to himself.
His previous worries had become a reality; he had become even less human.
"Infinite Dragon Beast"—the word "beast" was truly authentic.
Aoki carefully examined everything and finally figured out the changes in his appearance.
First, his height.
He hadn't noticed this before, but now he was a full three meters tall, practically a little giant.
Then there was his appearance.
This dragon-like form was his true face.
His body had been completely transformed.
Even his physique had become strange, no longer a simple flesh and blood body, but a product of flesh and steel fused together.
"Now I've lost not only substance but also face,"
Aoki thought to himself, shaking his head.
However, if he had to choose again, he still wouldn't let this opportunity pass him by.
Transmigration was an extremely dangerous thing.
No one knew what he would encounter next.
Only greater power could protect his safety.
A four-star profession was something he could never give up, no matter what.
As for turning back into a human, that was something he could only plan for later.
In fact, the situation hadn't become particularly bad.
If the difficulty of turning back into a human while retaining his power was 100 before, it might now be 150 or 200.
But for him, whose progress was 0, what difference did it make whether it was 100, 150, or 200?
He had already realized that it was impossible to solve the problem all at once.
Gaining power first, and then finding a solution, was the best option.
With a thought, Aoki's body began to shrink, his appearance rapidly changing until, in the blink of an eye, he reverted to his human form.
"Just as I expected."
Although his appearance had changed drastically, he still retained the abilities of the "King of the White Walkers," including "Perfect Mimicry."
The change in appearance had no effect on him.
"Let's test my combat power!" Aoki transformed back into his dragon-human form.
Changing his appearance didn't add any extra burden for him, but in combat, his original form was definitely more comfortable.
Aoki looked at the rock wall, his figure flashed, and he suddenly appeared in front of it, throwing a punch.
*Thump!
* A fist-shaped imprint appeared on the rock wall, cracks spreading outwards. With a deafening roar, it collapsed completely, leaving a large crater.
A hint of surprise flashed in Aoki's golden vertical pupils. After pondering for a moment, he continued testing. *Thump
thump thump!
* Kicks, elbow strikes, tail sweeps… After trying every attack method, Aoki fell into deep thought.
He discovered that his strength wasn't just a matter of his attributes increasing by 5 points.
This body was now better at generating power than both humans and demons.
For example, before, through various techniques, he could unleash 50% of his full strength in a punch; now, he could easily reach 70%.
The same amount of power produced a significantly greater effect.
In addition, the increased size also had a complex impact on his strength.
Overall, due to the changes in height and body structure, the benefits he gained far outweighed the drawbacks.
Aoki clenched his fist.
Before, he could only rely on "space travel" to entangle Esdeath.
Now, he should have the strength to fight "Esdeath" head-on, or even surpass her.
Suppressing the shock and surprise from the change in appearance, Aoki looked at the system panel again.
Based on his previous experience, skills were often more important than a few attribute points.
Leaving aside the other three skills, "Ultimate Form" was naturally active.
Unlike all the skills he had previously possessed, "Ultimate Form" had a progress bar.
It was currently at full capacity.
He had a guess about this, but needed to verify it.
"Let's try it!"
Aoki didn't hesitate, and with a thought
, a terrifying power surged into his body. His size began to expand rapidly, while everything around him shrank quickly.
In the blink of an eye, he had become a behemoth over two hundred meters tall.
"So that's how it is!"
Aoki felt both enlightened and deeply shocked.
The so-called "Ultimate Form" was the strongest power of the "Infinite Dragon Beast."
In other words, this skill was equivalent to instantly reaching level forty.
Of course, it was just pure power, lacking the corresponding skills.
But it was still incredibly terrifying.
Aoki felt an explosive power churning within him, eagerly seeking an outlet.
He looked up.
Above him was rock, and above that, the highest palace in the royal palace complex.
The High Throne was already displayed, and the activation device inside was useless.
"Ah!"
Aoki roared, throwing a punch.
Boom!
The hard rock shattered like tofu, the terrifying force piercing through the mountain peak, carving a large hole, and the palace above collapsed with a crash.
Bright sunlight shone into the cave.
Smoke and dust swirled, and large amounts of rubble, dirt, bricks, and tiles fell down.
Aoki's figure was obscured by the smoke, appearing and disappearing, and he was filled with amazement.
Too strong!
This destructive power is more than ten times that of the "White Walkers"!
No wonder it's a four-star class!
Aoki looked down.
Its appearance hadn't changed, basically a proportional enlargement.
Its agility and dexterity hadn't changed much either, unlike the slow-moving giants and beasts in movies and TV shows.
Other aspects, however, had changed somewhat.
As Aoki was experiencing the power of his "Ultimate Form," his body suddenly shrank rapidly, like a deflated balloon, returning to its original three-meter height in the blink of an eye.
