"Spend 5000 energy points to materialize a Body Strengthening Agent that I can currently withstand, is the safest, has the fastest effect, and is also oral!"
He communicated with the [mutated gem] once again, and once again used up all his stored energy points.
Facing the fire, which had weakened somewhat but was still incredibly fierce, Michael once again materialized a Body Strengthening Agent glowing with green light.
Injections are stupid, oral is so much better!
With a thought, all 5000 energy points instantly returned to Zero.
At the same time, a glass bottle with a straw, identical to the previous one, appeared in Michael's hand.
Unlike the previous agent, which glowed green but was completely transparent, this current one, while also overflowing with green light, had a greatly reduced transparency, and overall had a viscous feeling.
Of course, Michael didn't care whether it was transparent or viscous; he just inserted the straw and took a light sip.
As expected, the seemingly viscous green liquid was easily sucked completely into his mouth.
Gulp ~ ~
Throwing the empty bottle with the straw into the fire, Michael swallowed the green liquid in his mouth without hesitation... "Oh oh oh ~ ~ ~ ~"
"Ah ah ah ~ ~ ~ ~"
Indeed, the two extreme experiences, identical to before, once again descended upon Michael.
Michael rolled, twisted, and convulsed on the ground, completely losing his composure.
Fortunately, Michael had previously actively injected some energy into 'rorschach's forgotten mask' and kept its attribute effect active.
Coupled with Michael being on the edge of the fire and far from the onlookers, plus the fire itself suppressing sounds with its explosions and roaring.
Otherwise, with his screams, the anomaly would have been discovered much earlier.
At the very least, even if the people involved actively forgot about Michael, there were still so many microphones that would inevitably record Michael's screams, thus prompting some secret organizations to quietly investigate.
Fortunately, all of this did not happen due to the fire, which could be said to be both the making and the breaking of the fire!
... Two minutes later, Michael once again lay sprawled on the ground, feeling utterly lifeless.
Even though he clearly felt the powerful strength contained within his body, Michael seemed to have lost even the strength to move.
Of course, this was just a momentary trance!
The stronger his body became, the more Michael could experience that extreme to intense sensation from before.
Evidently, as his body continued to strengthen, the second time was even more unbearable than the first.
The third time would also be more unbearable than the second.
After lying down for a while, Michael did a carp jump, directly leaping up.
And, with a casual carp jump, he directly bounced up to about ten meters high, which still startled Michael.
"However, this feeling."
"It's really exhilarating!"
Bang~~
Landing on the ground, he directly stomped out a deep pit. Michael felt that this kind of enhancement could happen even more!
This was just an unintentional jump; if he intentionally gathered strength for a strike, tsk tsk tsk, it would probably create a huge deep pit, right?
However, Michael didn't act on that thought.
Having experienced two extreme sensations, Michael seemed to have become much more composed.
The slight impetuousness from before seemed to have vanished?
Feeling the surging power within him, Michael seemed to recall what he said after his first enhancement?
He seemed to have said he didn't want to experience it a second time?
Heh heh~
Michael shook his head and chuckled.
One can only say...
It's so good!
...Looking at the Fire in front of him, which had returned to its fierce state due to his second enhancement.
Michael raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
He had thought the Fire would gradually die down due to his absorption, but he didn't expect it could return to its previous state.
For Michael, this was an unexpected pleasant surprise.
However, a moment ago, a 'carp leaping over the dragon gate' unexpected jump of ten meters had allowed Michael to clearly see the real-time situation within the Fire.
Although the Fire had temporarily recovered to its maximum intensity, there weren't many combustible materials left inside.
With Michael's eyesight, enhanced after two rounds, he clearly saw that almost ninety percent of the containers and warehouses had exploded, and nearly all the raw materials were burning.
Without more combustibles, the Fire would eventually die down.
In fact, Michael even had a feeling that the combustible materials were being consumed at an accelerated rate because Michael was absorbing the Fire energy.
Michael had a premonition that after this absorption, the Fire in the area would diminish greatly!
...However, Michael also gained some insights from this.
It seemed that his ability to absorb so much energy from the Fire was the result of multiple effects interacting.
Michael could feel that if he had realized the crude oil contained immense energy and absorbed it all at once, he wouldn't have obtained as much energy as he did now.
The reason Michael could absorb multiple times without the Fire extinguishing was precisely because these combustibles generated greater and more energy after burning.
It's like nuclear explosion energy; if you're given all the raw materials needed to create a nuclear bomb, can you absorb as much energy as a nuclear bomb releases during an explosion?
No!
The reason nuclear explosions are universally feared is naturally due to the energy they produce during the explosion and the subsequent contamination.
But how much energy do the materials used to create a nuclear bomb inherently contain? Can those materials themselves cause people to change color at the mention of them? To be terrified?
Obviously not!
Therefore, Michael also realized that the reason he could absorb so much Fire energy was precisely because of the explosion and burning of the crude oil, the ignition by oxygen, the fanning by the sea breeze, and the multi-party linkage, which unleashed even more Fire energy!
Does this mean that in the future, to absorb large amounts of energy, he'll have to create a huge explosion?
Thinking of this, Michael was somewhat dumbfounded... But why think so much?
Michael didn't believe that absorbing large amounts of energy could only be done this way?
That's definitely impossible!
There's always a way; furthermore, the current focus is on absorbing the immense energy from this Fire!
Looking at the Fire, which had returned to its peak intensity.
Michael felt even more heroic.
"Target! 50,000 energy points!"
"Absorb it, you hear me! Absorb! Absorb!"
Michael: I'm! Swelling with power!
...Michael: If you don't give flowers and collections, I'll absorb you all! [Swelling and hands-on-hips.JPG]
