"High-Speed Regeneration (SR) LvMax: Greatly accelerates the healing of various injuries and the recovery of energy. Consuming a large amount of vitality allows for rapid limb regeneration."
"Plasma Burst (SR) LvMax: Generates a large amount of powerful plasma lightning, freely controls lightning energy, and is immune to external lightning attacks."
"Electrical Overload (SR) LvMax: Can generate, absorb, and store a large amount of electrical energy within the body. When in overload mode, all attacks will be imbued with powerful lightning damage!"
"Sinful Fire (SSR) Lv6: Flame of Impure Ardor awakens the power to control fire after Monsterification. He can create flames at will and ignite himself to enter the 'Impure Ardor State,' where all his cells are fully activated by high temperatures, producing immense explosive power while each attack inflicts severe burning damage on enemies."
Lower-tier abilities below SR had long since fully evolved and been maxed out, so much so that more than half of the 20 newly added ability slots were empty.
As for SSR abilities, a new one was added: "Sinful Fire," the innate ability Flame of Impure Ardor awakened after Monsterification.
It wasn't exactly a cunning scheme; Han Sen merely rode Pochy to find the ninja duo, who were in the process of familiarizing themselves with their Monsterification powers. Flame of Impure Ardor immediately stated that he couldn't remember what had happened at the unfinished building in M City.
He even grabbed Han Sen's hand and repeatedly expressed that if he had offended him in any way back then, he sincerely hoped Han Sen would forgive him!
(〒▽〒)
Speaking of which, although these two were arrogant, believing their speed trumped everything and looking down on ordinary Monsters and even some executives,
they showed no such arrogance when directly facing Pochy, demonstrating a remarkable proficiency in bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
It could be said that Han Sen's current stats were luxurious!
The system's judgment of his theoretical strength was Dragon-level (High), meaning Han Sen's normal state strength could already overwhelm most ordinary Dragon-level Monsters!
From Ghost-level (Peak) to Dragon-level (High), what seemed like an incredible leap in power became reasonable with such a luxurious stat sheet backing it up.
After all, Monsters in the One-Punch Man world cannot be judged by common sense.
For example, 'Homeless Emperor,' who was chosen by 'God' and instantly transformed from an ordinary person into a Dragon-level combatant overnight.
Or the clown Monster who appeared later, who could infinitely grow stronger simply by gaining attention, skyrocketing from Tiger-level to Dragon-level in minutes.
The extent of power surges for these native Monsters was only equal to or greater than Han Sen, this despicable outsider cheater.
Because of this, Han Sen didn't feel his progression speed was exaggerated.
On the contrary, he even thought it was slow!
It's normal for his normal combat power to reach Dragon-level (High), far surpassing ordinary Dragon-level Monsters, given that he possesses the abilities of numerous Dragon-level Monsters and has maxed out all three SSR abilities from Pochy's ability system.
Psykos would never have imagined that such a traitor would be so shameless, having already taken a crucial step to become a top-tier combatant at the executive level, yet still constantly lurking among the low-level Monsters, always thinking of freeloading!
(ꐦ •᷅ ࡇ •᷄)
In fact, Han Sen had already been secretly investigating the location of the Monster Cell production facility and had locked down a general area.
It was only due to the presence of the strongest Monster King Orochi that he hadn't immediately turned hostile.
To this day, Han Sen, despite his seemingly impressive achievements, never fights a battle he isn't confident in winning.
This includes the House of Evolution before him!
...
...
House of Evolution, Underground Base Control Room.
For some reason, Dr. Genus, dressed in a black shirt and slacks, felt a sense of unease.
Beneath his somewhat unconventional bangs, a bead of sweat the size of a bean trickled down his temple, yet he seemed oblivious, lost in thought.
In the past, he only experienced similar inexplicable emotions when facing that "failure" deep underground.
"Could it be… my genes are warning me that some life-threatening crisis is about to occur?"
Although he appeared to be a young scientist with an inherently sinister aura, Dr. Genus was actually over 70 years old.
Having delved deep into cutting-edge biological genetic technology for decades, he never believed in metaphysics or fate, but he did believe in science.
His genes were giving a warning!
Thinking of this possibility, Dr. Genus immediately became flustered.
However, being able to develop his research institute into the House of Evolution, a world-class evil technology organization, purely through his own efforts, his qualities in all aspects far surpassed those of industry elites in the same field.
Knowing that panic solves nothing, Dr. Genus, though flustered, remained composed. He raised his hand and pressed a button on the table, and the entire underground base immediately blared with a piercing alarm. In the corridor outside the control room, a row of flashing red lights, indicating an alert, illuminated simultaneously.
Before long, dozens of clones, wearing white lab coats with numerical designations and identical in height and appearance to him, entered through the open door.
These clones hurried in, one after another, quickly filling the control room.
"I declare the immediate activation of the highest emergency protocol!"
Facing the many clones, Dr. Genus issued commands methodically: "Number 8, immediately assemble all combat sequence clones and seal all entrances and exits of the base."
"Number 42, you are responsible for activating all mechanisms and traps of the eight-layer defense facilities on the surface. You must stop any intruders on the surface."
"Number 88, be ready to awaken the backup clones preserved in the cryogenic chambers at any time to execute Secret Evacuation Plan No. 3. With memories and thought patterns fully synchronized, there is no absolute boundary between the main body and the clones. If any clone survives, it can be considered a successful continuation of knowledge."
"I have a premonition that this base is about to face an unprecedented crisis. We must prepare for the worst…"
Hearing their main body speak like this, all the clones' expressions became solemn.
Without needing much explanation, the world's top brain had realized the seriousness of the problem, and many of them had even begun to act on their own initiative.
Just as the clones were carrying out their respective duties in response, suddenly…
The ground shook!
Rumble—!!!
A violent tremor, as if the sky and earth were collapsing, suddenly struck. Indicator lights on various instruments and equipment in the control room flashed wildly, and many clones lost their footing, stumbling and falling in a heap!
"Wh-What happened?!" Clone 28, bruised and bleeding from the fall, struggled to get up, leaning on an instrument, and cried out with a hint of panic.
"The surface… all signals from the surface facilities have been cut off!" Clone 38, responsible for monitoring, exclaimed, his voice distorted. "External surveillance… ninety-nine percent has completely failed!"
"Damn it, almost all of it was destroyed in an instant?"
"Could it be a large-scale EMP weapon attack!?"
"Impossible, the base has long been equipped with a complete anti-electromagnetic weapon defense layer. Even a large-scale EMP weapon couldn't break through all surface floors at once!"
Amidst the habitual discussions and arguments, Dr. Genus's forehead was covered in cold sweat. Enduring the dizziness brought by the intense shaking, he said, "Stop arguing."
"Switch to the external backup hidden probes!"
