Chapter 77: Integrating abilities
Now that he owned a lot of abilities, there were a decent amount of similar ones. And going by the information Bruce had previously obtained, integrating multiple abilities of the same type would make the final integrated ability all the more powerful.
That was one of the reasons Bruce had decided to leave 600 points of energy value in reserve.
With the amount of ordinary abilities he already owned, there was no need to go out of his way to get more, so the required energy value would lessen a bit.
With that in mind, Bruce decided that his first integration should be composed of all of his physical abilities related to the body.
System, select the similar abilities that fit the following requirements to integrate…
“Beep, Regeneration ability, Super Serum gene, Self-Healing, Strengthened Hands, Super vision, Adsorben ability, Pig Iron Body are all the physical abilities that fit the requirements and can be integrated!”
The system’s response made Bruce’s eyes flash. Although all of the abilities mentioned were different when it came down to the details, they all belonged to the same category.
It would be a lie if he said that he wasn’t looking forward to what the end result would be after all those abilities were integrated into a single one.
System, begin the integration of the previously mentioned abilities!
Without any further delay, Bruce chose to integrate them and see what would happen, after all, he couldn’t end up with an ability that was worse for him, right?
“Beep, the integration of the following abilities requires 200 points of energy value, do you still intend to proceed?”
Yes!
Just as Bruce gave the order, an inexplicable power suddenly poured into Bruce’s body.
Every cell, pore and blood vessel in his body was undergoing a massive transformation at this moment, as flashes of light poured into Bruce’s body.
The process of integrating abilities that were directly related to his body was sure to be a long and painful process, because after all, his whole being was undergoing a massive change.
And sure enough, Bruce was in horrifying pain at the moment, but he didn’t move an inch, doing his best to bear with it.
His flesh and blood were squirming, making his entire body give off an extremely creepy vibe that would send shivers down the spine to anyone that saw the scene.
He could feel his skin and organs squirm as well, cracking and forming back together one by one, making him feel as if he was reborn at the end of it all.
This was a metamorphosis in every sense of the word, not just a mere strengthening of his abilities.
“Beep, congratulations, the integration has succeeded!”
“Beep, congratulations, you have obtained the Demigod Body ability!”
After an unknown amount of time passed and the process had ended, the system’s voice once again sounded out in Bruce’s mind.
All the previous pain he had been enduring disappeared and was instead replaced with an unprecedentedly comfortable sensation.
After undergoing all that suffering, he felt as if the gravity of the planet had now only had a very weak influence on him.
Bruce could even feel that if he wanted to, he would be able to leap hundreds of meters in the air with only a single step.
After snapping out of his revere for his new ‘state’, Bruce began to check out the functions of his new ability.
The Demigod Body ability, as the name suggested, made him have a physical body half as powerful as that of a God. With Thor as an example, whose body was a God’s body, he was able to withstand Bruce’s onslaught of attacks during their first encounter.
While his current body was only half as strong as that, Bruce could now not only regenerate broken limbs, survive having his head cut off, he could even regenerate it or reconnect it as if nothing had happened.
This meant that no matter how fatal an injury Bruce had sustained, he would be able to recover from it given enough time.
While this in itself was not extremely impressive to the current Bruce, the fact that the regeneration speed was extremely fast had made him happy, as it meant that it wouldn’t affect his combat power at all because he had infinite energy via the system.
Moreover, his Demigod Body was also top-notch when it came to defensive capability. Even small missiles couldn’t break his body’s defense, making it infinitely more powerful than his previous Pig Iron Body ability.
This was the result of Bruce integrating all of his physical abilities!
Seeing the end result of his integration, Bruce was extremely excited. From today onwards, he had officially broken away from the human category by owning a Demigod Body.contemporary romance
Bruce could already foresee that if he could download Thor’s Aesir Body, and then integrate it with his current Demigod Body, then he could also possess a God-level Body!
Gods were the most powerful existence in the Marvel World Universe, far beyond even Thanos and Odin, they were the true powerhouses.
But soon enough, Bruce calmed himself down. He still had a lot of abilities left, and instead of sinking into his delusions for a while longer, he decided to continue to integrate them.
…”Beep, Anti-aging gene, Aesir’s longevity gene, Virus and Disease Immunity, Mind-control Immunity, are all abilities that fit the requirements and can be integrated.”
The sound of the system sounded out in Bruce’s mind once again, and without wasting any more time, he chose to integrate them.
“Beep, the integration of the following abilities requires 200 points of energy value, do you still intend to proceed?”
Yes!
And just like before, Bruce answered without hesitation. However sadly for him, that wasn’t the only thing that was getting repeated, as the horrifying pain struck Bruce once again as soon as he said yes.
Bruce gritted his teeth and withstood the pain. As long as he could make himself more powerful, he could withstand any amount of pain he possibly could.
“Beep, congratulations, the integration has succeeded!”
“Beep, congratulations, you have obtained the God’s Bloodline ability!”
The system’s voice made Bruce excited once again. And rightly so, as after all, he had obtained a second ability that was in the ‘God’ category, moreover it was a bloodline ability!
The power of this particular ability was to make Bruce immune to all diseases, viruses and mental attacks on earth.
While this did not sound particularly amazing when compared to the effects of the abilities integrated into this one, that was only before making a comparison.
For example, all humans of Earth had a mortal body with a mortal bloodline. This kind of bloodline was very weak in the eyes of the high-level creatures of the universe, as a little damage could make a human break.
But the God Bloodline was very different, as with this bloodline, Bruce could even survive in outer space depending solely on his body, albeit not for prolonged periods of time.
This kind of bloodline was way beyond a mortal one, and that was without mentioning it’s other numerous uses.
If a person with cancer obtained this bloodline, they would be cured, simply because of the discrepancy in levels.
Almost all the factors that could cause a human to instantly die would be infinitely weakend on Bruce. This was a God Bloodline, and it truly was like a difference between a mortal and a God.
But Bruce knew that his God Bloodline was not a true Deities Bloodline, as the sum of his ordinary abilities did not equate to it.
If one day he could promote his bloodline to a Deities Bloodline, then he would be able to travel in outer space and resist the innumerable amounts of radiation, viruses, curses, just like a real Deity.
It was one of the most powerful aspects of his system, the fact that he had been given unlimited possibilities.
After soaking it in, Bruce calmed down once again and began preparing himself for the third and final integration.
“Beep, Marksman, Super endurance, Super speed, Super strength, Superb-level fighting technique, Sabre proficiency, Firearms proficiency, Covert tracking, are all abilities that fit the requirements and can be integrated!”
The system’s voice made Bruce’s eyes shine once again. This time was special, because all of the selected abilities were combat-oriented, and it was because of all of those skills that Bruce could rise to power in such a short amount of time.
Once all of those abilities were integrated together, Bruce was absolutely positive that his combat power would skyrocket.
And as this was his third time integrating abilities, Bruce had figured out the criteria the system used to detect similar abilities.
In his first integration, the criteria was his physical body, in his second, his adaptive capacity. And now in his third integration, the criteria was combat prowess.
“Beep, the integration of the following abilities requires 200 points of energy value, do you still intend to proceed?”
Yes!
After using up his last two hundred points of energy value, Bruce fell deep into his thoughts.
But regardless of that, he could be sure that once the integration of the abilities had succeeded, his new ability would undoubtedly exceed his imagination.
The first two integrations had given him two great surprises, and as his third one was formed of even more abilities, he was very curious as to exactly how powerful the new ability would be.
“Beep, congratulations, the integration has succeeded!”
“Beep, congratulations, you have obtained a new ability!”
