The Ultimate Evolution

Sheyan’s arm strength was easily comparable to the combined strength of dozens of male adults, and according to human physiology, the force in a person’s elbow attack was definitely greater than the force in their fist. In addition, this was a dangerous place, so Sheyan did not hold back when he attacked with his elbow. Even an elephant that was struck by this attack would suffer serious internal injuries.

But the unusually gigantic mouse only rolled a few times and climbed back up as if the blow was nothing. It stared at Sheyan with its small, poisonous eyes.

Sheyan saw from the corner of his eyes what a terrible state the office was in. A few corpses were lying about, and their innards had either been dug out or were in the process of being dug out. It seemed that these mice had a rather heavy taste. The mice, of course, could not block his progress. He simply walked forward.

The pair of giant mice pounced on him again, the sharp white teeth in their mouths reminiscent of sharp, ultra-thin razors. Sheyan shifted his body again to avoid them. He had no intention of being dragged into a fight here. He wanted to go straight to the third floor.

After the two giant mice missed, their buttocks were now naturally facing Sheyan.

They suddenly breathed in hard at the same time. Their slender bodies expanded rapidly until they looked like two obese porcupines. The white fur on their body stood up, then shot fiercely towards Sheyan who was behind them!

The white fur fell like rain, completely enveloping Sheyan in it!

The mice were only about two or three meters away from Sheyan. As if the giant mice wished to go bald, they shot every fur they had on their body at Sheyan. Hundreds of fur were launched, at least! Sheyan could not help staggering from the impact. His entire back was now densely stabbed with sharp fur. He looked like a straw man used for target practice at an archery field. The two giant mice were strangely squealing excitedly like pigs that were scalded clean by boiling water.

“These fur projectiles have decent speed and strength,” Sheyan, who was pricked all over like a pin cushion, straightened up slowly and said. “It seems that you guys are the ones who killed the pilot in the hangar. Oh, there are actually poison and diseases on the fur too. I can see how it would be a big problem for other people.”

While he said that, the muscles on his back were actually twitching, twisting, and contracting in a weird way, pushing the spikes out of his body one by one. The numerous blood-red pustules left on his back was a horrid sight.

But there were also bluish-black lines that were visibly creeping across Sheyan’s back along his blood vessels. Within a few seconds, all the pustules burst. Pus flowed out of them, followed by blood. Finally, all the wounds scabbed and closed.

The two giant mice still wished to attack. Sheyan put out his right fist and shook it, letting one of the giant mice bite him. However, Sheyan was wearing a dark green glove on his hand. No matter how hard the mouse bit with its sharp white teeth, it could not bite through the glove at all. Sheyan grabbed the other giant mouse and used it as a weapon to smash at the stubborn monster biting at his fist!! Blood splattered amidst the sound of broken bones!

The two giant mice had very flexible bodies, but not so flexible that they would be fine even after being twisted like pretzels. Against Sheyan’s abnormal strength, especially under a situation where they were caught and could not display their advantage in agility, they ended up with a fate as miserable as the airport securities — they were twisted so hard that their blood were squeezed clean out of them. In addition, their skulls had also shattered from a fierce collision.

At that moment, Sheyan was contacted by Zi who was still outside.

“I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?”

“The bad news,” replied Sheyan without hesitation.

“There are two really annoying snipers out here. We’re being suppressed, and we won’t be able to come to your aid for a while.” Zi said very calmly.

“Then what’s the good news?” asked Sheyan.

“Cyclops has found the protagonist, Jackson Curtis, and is currently protecting him.”

“That’s a relief,” Sheyan said as he heaved a long sigh.

“You’ll have to be careful, because you’re also within the range of the two snipers. Jean currently doesn’t have the Cerebro with her, and us contestants are inherently resistant to her mind attacks, so we can only break through with Kulutego,” Zi said with concern.

“Okay, got it.”

While Sheyan replied, he threw aside the two twisted, disgusting mouse corpses and strode up to the third floor.

The third floor was occupied by partitioned offices. The whole floor was in a mess, as if a storm had passed through here. The building suddenly shook again. Sheyan kept going forward and finally saw the huge greyish-white figure again. The figure turned around after hearing Sheyan’s footsteps.

“What kind of monster is this?”

In front of Sheyan was a huge monster with an elephant head and a human body that was fat yet muscular. Its pale white skin was folded like a bulldog’s and there were many marks on it that looked like burn marks from cigarette butts. Those were actually the marks left by the bullets fired by the airport securities. The monster only had a single blood-red tooth, but it seemed particularly ferocious.

It held in its left hand a giant axe, which seemed to have been newly assembled from bullet-proof doors and various iron plates. There were no rivets or welding marks on it, nor any signs of a joint. All the pieces that made up the axe seemed to have been merged purely using mental power. Blood stained the axe. Sheyan also saw a black bra and a broken pair of glasses left on the axe. They were stuck to the axe with brain fluid as the glue.

On the right shoulder of the monster was a string of rough steel prayer beads.

When the monster saw Sheyan, it grabbed a desk with its trunk and threw it at him. Sheyan had no intention of dodging. He simply let the desk hit his body. The desk splintered with a loud bang, while Sheyan kept walking forward amid the flying papers as if nothing had happened.

The monster growled in anger. It raised the rough, bloody and barbaric “axe” up high and slammed it down on Sheyan’s head. Sheyan took a step forward, raised his left hand, and accurately seized the monster’s wrist!

Sheyan was not a small person by any means. He could be described as big and muscular. But even so, compared to the elephant monster’s wrist, Sheyan’s palm appeared as small as the palm of a barbie doll!

The moment the two came into contact, the glass windows in the whole building emitted terrifying groans, then shattered at the same time! Clear cracks appeared on the floor beneath Sheyan’s feet. However, Sheyan also had an abnormal amount of strength. He managed to halt the advancement of the monster’s swing and proceeded to give the monster a fierce punch on the abdomen!

The abdomen of the monster immediately trembled violently, rippling like water. The monster gave out a painful roar and hit Sheyan on the shoulder with its trunk, sending Sheyan flying more than seven meters away. Then, with a flick of its right hand, the string of steel beads hanging on its arm whizzed towards Sheyan.

When the string of rough steel beads flew through the air, an illusionary image actually appeared around it! The image depicted a string of steel beads completely different from the original — dignified, smooth, and filled with an indescribable evil!!

Strictly speaking, the steel beads were not flying that fast, but the illusionary image on their exterior carried a strong sense of intimidation which rendered Sheyan’s dodging action ineffective. The beads hit him from the front and knocked him back.

Sheyan immediately rolled and climbed back up with a grunt. He could now confirm the identity of this monster in front of him.

“This thing should be the Vinayaka from Buddhist mythology, but based on its actions, this particular creature seems to have taken a path of darkness.”

(TL: Vinayaka, also known as Ganesha, is an elephant-headed deity in Hindu and Buddhist mythology — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganesha )

As soon as Sheyan got back up, he instantly rushed forward and activated ‘Hornrage’, slamming into the enemy’s chest. Then, he pulled out ‘Verdict’ and fired it right at the monster’s trunk!

Holy attacks dealt a lot of extra damage to dark creatures. Dark red blood sprayed wildly amidst the milky white outburst of holy light. The monster’s thick elephant trunk was barely hanging on after the shot, so Sheyan grabbed it and forcefully pulled it apart.

“This guy’s a monster! The Dark Vinayaka is a tier 4 legendary creature! Not only is it as strong as a warrior in close combat, it also possesses a large array of spells, but it’s actually being beaten by that guy to such an extent!”

A man with a moustache who seemed to be lying idly on the balcony of an airport building in the distance couldn’t help muttering to himself. Various data appeared on the sunglasses he was wearing, which in fact served as both a pair of binoculars and an aiming scope. They gave him a full view of everything happening in the building.

The moustached man was one of the two snipers. His weapon was currently placed at a spot that was less than 10 meters away from him, but it was already at the window of another building nearby. He could remotely control the aim and firing of the sniper rifle through a special mind device.

It was precisely due to such a clever arrangement that this man’s disguise had seldom been seen through before. If a person managed to survive after being sniped, they would inevitably rush to the place where the shot came from. Never would they expect such a bizarre phenomenon where the gun was actually separate from the shooter.
