Gale Wind transformed into an afterimage, appearing behind Sonic almost instantly.
A cold blade pressed against his neck, bringing a bone-chilling coldness. He didn't even have time to react.
"The current you can't even eat our dust!"
Almost simultaneously, a scorching heat emanated from the other side, equally without warning.
In his peripheral vision, the figure of Flame of Impure Ardor appeared like a ghost: "That's right! Killing you is as easy as flipping a hand!"
Sonic's pupils constricted, and cold sweat streamed down his forehead.
His heart pounded, feeling the strong killing intent and incredible speed coming from behind him.
"Did you see that? Humans have limits, and this is the power of a Monster!"
Flame of Impure Ardor spread his arms fanatically, as if a deity embracing a new world.
"Now, His Majesty the Monster King has decided to bestow upon you the same 'gift'!"
He clapped his hands, and two scorching flames ignited in his palms.
Several Tiger-level Monsters pushed a metal dining cart into the room. The cart made a dull scraping sound on the cold floor, drawing the attention of all the ninjas present.
On the dining cart, a dozen silver trays were neatly arranged.
The Heavenly Ninja Party members, including Sonic, stared at this scene in shock. In those trays, what was placed was not some delicacy, but... chunks of still-throbbing, incredibly fresh-looking flesh and tissue!
These chunks of meat were dark red, their surfaces covered with strange black patterns and tentacle-like protrusions.
They seemed to possess independent life, contracting and expanding rhythmically like a heart.
They emitted a nauseating yet inexplicably alluring scent, tempting every heart that craved strength.
"Th-this is..."
Fos of Violence asked tremblingly, his cross-shaped pupils filled with confusion and greed.
"These are Evolution Cells! And, they are a specially formulated 2.0 version!"
Flame of Impure Ardor's voice was full of temptation, like the whisper of a demon.
The so-called special formula was commissioned by Hansen to Genus, based on the physical characteristics of the Heavenly Ninja Party and their extreme pursuit of speed, combining the latest research results of Monster Cells and the House of Evolution, specifically tailored for them.
It could not only greatly enhance their strength but also push their respective strengths to the extreme, while the side effect might be a decrease in intelligence, turning them into killing machines lacking rational control.
However, for the Heavenly Ninja Party, this minor side effect was nothing.
It was as if they had much rationality when they massacred wildly in their human forms.
"Eat it!"
Wind of Cyclone's voice was low and seductive, as if a summons from the abyss.
"You will surpass the limits of humanity! What S-Class Heroes, they will all be trampled under your feet! You will become the most perfect killing machines!"
"The strongest ninjas!"
These words, like a sharp sword, mercilessly shattered the last trace of hesitation in most of the ninjas present.
They were the Heavenly Ninja Party, the strongest assassins above the Jonin level!
To become stronger, they could sacrifice everything, including their souls, including their humanity.
"I'll go first!"
Moment of Instant rushed forward fanatically before everyone else, his eyes bloodshot, his hands trembling as he grabbed the pulsating chunk of meat from the tray, not even looking at it, and shoved it directly into his mouth.
"Crunch... crunch..."
A teeth-grinding chewing sound echoed in the silent Renovation Room, as if he was gnawing on his own flesh and blood.
The next second, a piercing scream ripped through the air!
"Ah—!!!"
Almost at the same moment of ingestion, Moment's body began to mutate at a visible speed.
His skin instantly ruptured, revealing the writhing muscle fibers beneath, covered with black patterns, like countless twisted venomous snakes.
His bones let out an unbearable cracking sound, his entire body grew half a meter taller, his fingernails grew wildly, transforming into jet-black sharp blades, gleaming with a bloodthirsty cold light.
"Power... so, so hot!!"
He rolled on the ground in agony, every inch of his skin tearing and reforming, but the aura emanating from him was steadily rising.
Demon-level... Peak Demon-level... Boom—!
A powerful wave of energy erupted from him as the center. He suddenly stood up, his original human face already twisted into a hideous demonic face, his eyes blood-red, filled with bestial bloodlust.
Dragon-level!
And his power level had astonishingly reached the Dragon-level disaster standard!
Seeing this, the other ninjas could no longer suppress the greed and fanaticism in their hearts.
"Give it to me!!"
"I want some too!"
"For power!"
"..."
They swarmed forward like hungry wolves, snatching the "gifts" from the trays.
The Renovation Room instantly turned into a living hell.
"Ugh ah ah—!"
"Kill, kill them all!"
"Long live His Majesty the Monster King!!"
"..."
A dozen ninjas simultaneously underwent painful mutations.
Some grew four spider-like appendages on their backs, moving with ghostly speed, traversing walls and ceilings as if on flat ground.
Some were covered in a hard keratinous layer, transforming into human tanks, a single stomp causing a dull roar from the alloy floor.
Some had their hands transform into high-speed spinning bone blades, creating a piercing shriek as they cut through the air, as if they could tear space itself.
The sound of bones breaking and reforming, the sound of muscles tearing, the sound of frantic roars... converged into a terrifying yet powerful symphony, echoing long in the Renovation Room.
One moment there were continuous screams and bone-cracking sounds, the next, only heavy breathing and an abrupt silence remained.
They squatted or stood, examining their brand new, explosively powerful Monster bodies, their eyes filled with fanaticism.
"I... I feel like I could punch a mountain apart!"
A ninja roared uncontrollably, his arm mutated into a mantis-like blade. With a light swing, a deep gash appeared on the alloy floor.
"Speed... My speed has increased by more than fifty times!"
Another person transformed into an afterimage, flickering around the room, creating small whirlwinds. His body could even leave afterimages in place, dazzling the eyes.
"This is great, I can hide in shadows!"
"Oh oh oh oh! I can wield lightning!!"
At this scene, Flame of Impure Ardor closed his eyes in ecstasy: "Hahahahaha! How wonderful... This is the sound of evolution! This is the gift of His Majesty the Monster King!"
In just a few minutes, a dozen ninjas had completely transformed, completing their metamorphosis.
All of them... Dragon-level!
Standing there, the fierce aura they exuded made the surrounding Tiger-level Monsters on guard shiver.
It was a sense of oppression from a higher dimension, as if those standing before them were not their peers, but true deities.
"Greetings, sirs! Thank you for the gift from His Majesty the Monster King!" x N
They knelt on one knee, saluting Wind of Cyclone and Flame of Impure Ardor.
Their voices were filled with fanaticism and piety, as if they regarded the Monster King, who bestowed all this, as a true... deity!
