"Don't forget the injury on her arm. If we keep delaying, the wound could get even worse."
Butcher glanced at Kimiko beside him. She had already lost consciousness, and there wasn't a trace of color left in her face.
"What the fuck!"
Hughie's attention was completely fixed on the mysterious man in the middle of the battlefield. He hadn't heard a damn word Butcher said.
A terrifyingly powerful figure suddenly hurled the tank off his body and shot toward the mysterious man like a human cannonball.
"Got you."
After smashing through everything in his path, Soldier Boy thrust both arms forward and clamped his hands onto Ivan's shoulders.
His eyes were completely bloodshot.
The madness and fury inside them were enough to make anyone's skin crawl.
"Shit!"
Ivan's expression finally changed when he saw the red glow forming in Soldier Boy's chest.
The Compound V he had stored inside his body had already been reduced to shattered glass after taking Soldier Boy's chest blast twice.
If Ivan was right, the bastard was about to use his strongest attack.
And sure enough.
The moment Soldier Boy locked onto Ivan, his face twisted as he let out a savage roar.
"AAAAAAARGH!"
Blinding red light instantly filled his entire body.
As he screamed, Soldier Boy's internal and external temperature climbed at an insane rate.
The red glow in his chest became so bright it was almost impossible to look at directly.
"What a damn useful power."
Even with death staring him in the face, Ivan still found himself observing the changes happening to Soldier Boy.
The man looked like glass heated until it turned red-hot.
Ivan could practically see the structure inside his body.
Boom!
In the next second, Soldier Boy erupted like a nuclear bomb.
Countless streams of superheated flame burst outward.
Fire reaching tens of thousands of degrees, mixed with terrifying levels of radiation, swallowed Ivan whole in an instant.
Within moments, every superhuman factor inside Ivan's body was completely suppressed.
Without the amplification from his powers, he was like an ice cream bar left under the summer sun.
The extreme heat burned away his skin, revealing charred tissue and bright red muscle and tendons beneath.
The massive shockwave and searing heat destroyed almost everything within fifty meters of Soldier Boy.
And the affected area kept expanding.
By the time the dust finally settled, Butcher and the others had barely survived by taking shelter inside the laboratory.
"That power is fucking insane."
Hughie spoke with lingering fear.
"It was like someone dropped a miniature nuke right on top of us."
Butcher stepped out through the hole in the wall.
He stared at the devastation in front of him, his expression grim.
The entire area looked like the ruins of a war zone.
"Where's the mysterious guy? Don't tell me..."
Hughie walked up behind Butcher.
All he could see was Soldier Boy, down on one knee and breathing heavily.
As for the mysterious man...
He was gone.
As if he had vanished from the face of the Earth.

In the dark corner of a narrow alley, wet chewing sounds could be heard.
A crazed-looking middle-aged man kept glancing around warily while stuffing his face with a corpse he had found by the roadside.
"What the hell is this guy?! He tastes incredible! Every cell in my body is shaking with excitement!"
The middle-aged man had to use every ounce of strength just to tear off a tiny piece of flesh from the corpse.
But even that tiny mouthful made the Rc cells in his body multiply like crazy.
"A delicacy! A once-in-a-thousand-years delicacy!"
The man chewed the flesh in his mouth and laughed wildly.
"Could this guy be some insanely powerful kakuja? But it doesn't look like he has a kagune."
In the darkness, the man's blood-red eyes stood out clearly.
"Whatever. I need to eat faster. This isn't my feeding ground. If Nishiki Nishio finds me here, I'm screwed."
The thought that someone might steal his food made him chew even faster.
"Hehehehehe! Once I finish this entire corpse, Nishiki Nishio won't mean shit! One day, I'll eat him too. This place will be my feeding ground sooner or later."
At the same time, a young man in a blue hoodie stepped out of a room with a crazed grin and walked beneath the streetlight outside.
"I'm going to kill someone! I want meat..."
Several weeks earlier, Ken Kaneki had met Rize Kamishiro at the coffee shop Anteiku.
The two discovered that they shared similar interests and agreed to meet at a bookstore.
After their date ended, Kaneki offered to walk her home.
Unfortunately for him, he was attacked along the way by Rize Kamishiro, the infamous Binge Eater.
By sheer coincidence, a construction accident happened at that exact moment.
Steel beams fell from above and buried Rize instantly.
Kaneki, however, was already on the verge of death.
When he woke up again, he found himself in a hospital.
From that day onward, strange changes began happening to his body.
Human food became almost impossible for him to swallow.
But the smell of human flesh made his mouth water uncontrollably.
That was when he remembered what the doctor had said.
"Transplant her organs into him."
Kaneki finally understood what had turned him into a monster.
The black sclera covering his left eye slowly faded, and the young man temporarily regained his senses.
"What is that smell? It smells so good. I've never smelled anything like it before, but it feels delicious... like the best meal I could imagine. Like top-grade Wagyu seared perfectly over an open flame."
Kaneki locked onto the direction the scent was coming from and quickened his pace.
By the time he arrived, he saw the middle-aged man crouched over a corpse, tearing into it.
The instant Kaneki realized where that irresistible smell was coming from, his mind broke.
He dropped to his knees.
"That's enough."
The mangled corpse suddenly opened its eyes.
Its right arm, stripped badly enough that bone was visible, slowly rose.
Then its palm gently settled on top of the middle-aged man's head.
[Analysis Successful]
[Talent Skill: Rc Cells]
[Fusion Requirement: Kill the ghoul in front of you.]
[After fusion, a very small portion of the player's cells will mutate, greatly increasing their hardness. Their activity can be maintained by consuming ordinary food or human flesh, with more nutritious food producing better results.]
[Talent Skill: Kakuhou]
[Fusion Requirement: Transplant the ghoul's kakuhou into the player's body.]
[After fusion, the player will be able to use the kakuhou to store mutated cells. When a large quantity of mutated cells is released from the kakuhou, they will protrude through the player's skin and form a unique predatory organ known as a kagune.
In addition, the player can increase both the number and strength of their kakuhou by consuming other ghouls.]
[Talent Skill: Koukaku]
[Fusion Requirement: Consume the kakuhou of the ghoul in front of you.]
[Fusion Prerequisite: The player must already possess a kakuhou.]
[After fusion, the player's highly concentrated mutated cells will be compressed. The kakuhou is generally located beneath the shoulder blade. The resulting kagune has a metallic texture and can cover the surface of the player's body when used, providing extremely high defensive power. However, it is also considerably heavier than ordinary cells.]
"So I won't need to eat human flesh?"
Ivan murmured softly.
"Looks like the cells produced after fusion won't be pure Rc cells."
