Starting from one punch, I will not be a human being Chapter 002

“Hoo-hoo-hoo—”

Pochi’s throat rumbled with joyful purrs, its six flaming eyes shifting from the five desserts to the massive, bloody corpse behind them.

Even after being transformed from a stray dog into a Dragon-level monster, Pochi’s mind remained relatively simple.

Compared to the small snacks that weren’t enough to fill its teeth, it preferred to enjoy the substantial main course first.

After all, what bad intentions could a big dog have?

(❍❍❍ᴥ❍❍❍ʋ)

A large puddle of drool, enough to drown an adult, dripped from its ferocious fangs, landing with a “plop” and forming a small pool.

The sound of dripping saliva was exceptionally clear in the silent passage. Han Sen’s taut nerves were the first to break free from extreme fear, his brain working frantically at an unprecedented speed!

Wait for death?

Absolutely not!

Just then, Pochi took a step forward, its massive front paw casting an overwhelming shadow as it casually landed.

With a muffled “thud,” the unlucky Wolf-level monster, the Iron Rooster, didn’t even let out a grunt, instantly crushed into a blurry pulp of flesh!

Red and white matter splattered, dead beyond dead!

Pochi, however, seemed to have merely stepped on an insect, completely unconcerned.

The giant beast lowered its head, excitedly tearing and eating the mountain-like monster corpse, the grinding of its fangs producing a teeth-grinding sound of bones shattering.

Han Sen’s gaze was fixed on Pochi’s front paw, which was covered in hard, rock-like black fur, just inches away.

A crazy idea sprouted in his mind—

The system states: contact to copy!

Fortune favors the bold!

Anyway, if he didn’t gamble, he’d die, so he might as well take a chance!

The remaining three monsters were already scared half to death, not daring to make any movements, only Han Sen slowly but firmly raising his hand.

As he moved, the Wolf-level monsters present cast incredulous and terrified glances!

Even Pochi, buried in its meal, seemed to sense something, diverting one flaming eye to look curiously at the small dessert daring to move beneath its paw.

Han Sen’s eyes were bloodshot, ignoring the terrifying Dragon-level pressure above him. His right hand, covered in black carapace, pressed firmly onto Pochi’s explosively powerful front paw.

“Woo—?”

A rough, burning sensation spread, as if a mortal had pressed their hand into a basin of burning charcoal!

Han Sen’s palm felt an intense burning pain; his carapace seemed to be melting!

But the next second, the sudden system prompt sounded like heavenly music!

[Monster: Overgrown Pochi]

[Disaster Level: Dragon (Peak)]

[Ability 1: “Overgrowth (SSR)”: Overgrowth that breaks the species limiter, allowing for super strength and speed while achieving an abnormally huge physique, possessing extremely vast energy reserves and almost infinite super vitality.]

[Ability 2: “Incineration Blast (SSR)”: Sprays high-density energy cannons from the mouth, which can be charged or fired continuously. A single shot’s power is enough to penetrate multiple layers of underground facility structures, causing widespread earthquake-like impacts.]

[Ability 3: “Ferocious Beast Physique (SSR)”: An absolutely defensive and powerful physique, capable of withstanding at least Dragon-level peak physical and energy attacks without injury, and even enduring a watered-down “Normal Punch” from Saitama without dying, merely falling into a coma.]

[Ability 4: “Beast Instinct (SSR)”: Fights relying on instinct, possessing deadly combat awareness and crisis perception like a beast. In a state of rage, strength and speed double.]

“Hiss…!”

As expected of a super-strong monster ranked high among Dragon-level executives, Han Sen could only describe Pochi’s blinding golden abilities with four words—

Terrifying beyond compare!

Ability level only affected the cost of adding points, so in the system window that popped up before Han Sen’s eyes, four glittering golden SSR ability icons clearly showed…

Copyable!! [Ding! Contacted a copyable target!]

[Successfully copied SSR abilities: “Overgrowth” Lv 1, “Incineration Blast” Lv 1, “Ferocious Beast Physique” Lv 1, “Beast Instinct” Lv 1!]

[Current ability slots occupied: 4/5.]

[Ability manifestation beginning…! Adaptive transformation in progress…]

[Disaster Level increased!]

[Ability slot limit + 5!]

[Current Disaster Level: Tiger (Upper).]

Almost the instant the system prompt ended, Han Sen felt earth-shattering changes happening within him!

His heart felt as if it had been crushed by an invisible giant hand, then immediately filled with scorching magma!

Boom!!!

An indescribable surge of scorching torrent erupted from his heart, instantly washing through his limbs and bones!

Deep within his cells, something seemed to shatter completely, followed by an explosive release of seemingly endless life potential!

At the same time, a violent energy capable of incinerating all things was born out of thin air within his body, like a sleeping volcano suddenly awakening!

Power!

Unparalleled power!!

Bone-deep pain intertwined with the rapid expansion of power, sweeping through every nerve of Han Sen!

Han Sen’s dark monster body swelled at a visible rate, his bones popping under the strain, muscle fibers forcibly torn and rapidly reorganized!

In a breath, his size had expanded by more than a circle!

His height surged from his initial 1.7 meters to 1.95 meters, and his physique transformed from slender to muscular in an instant!

Crimson red patterns, like flowing magma, appeared on the grotesque black carapace covering his entire body. His body temperature rapidly soared, emitting astonishing heat!

Blood vessels, internal organs, bones, muscles… his already inhuman body was undergoing a destructive reconstruction!

Vast energy, far exceeding his own limits, surged and roared wildly within his newly born body!

At the same time!

The unusual sensation of his leg being touched and the sudden burst of energy from, six burning eyes locking onto the still tiny Han Sen beneath its paw!

The icy chill of death, so close, pierced his brain like needles, but Han Sen showed no fear; instead, a crimson madness flashed in his eyes!

Enduring the intense pain of body modification and the discomfort of rapidly increasing power, he turned sharply!

Moving like lightning, he grabbed the mutated cockroach beside him, which was scared out of its wits!

Crack—!

The mutated cockroach’s thick arm, covered in greasy carapace, was as fragile as rotten wood, instantly crushed and fractured by Han Sen’s surging strength, spewing foul, turbid green bodily fluid!

“What do you want to do?! Let go…”

The mutated cockroach was both shocked and enraged, just about to struggle and roar, but then it realized with horror that a terrifying energy, causing its soul to tremble, was rapidly gathering in Han Sen’s mouth!

The dim underground passage was illuminated by a sudden burst of scorching light, turning into daylight in an instant!

A violent energy rapidly condensed in front of Han Sen, the surrounding air violently warped by the high temperature, emitting crackling sounds, even entwining with streaks of dazzling electric light!

It was Pochi’s signature move, the incredibly destructive Dragon-level energy cannon—

“Incineration Blast”!!

Pochi: ???

Mutated Cockroach: !!!

Pochi, who was about to raise its paw and swat this little bug, tilted its head, its six eyes blinking simultaneously, its movements suddenly pausing.

It suddenly retracted its world-destroying, materialized killing intent, replaced by deep confusion and curiosity.

For some reason, it smelled a familiar energy from this moving appetizer.

Like a shrunken version of itself, or a newly born cub of its kind, smelling particularly friendly.

In short: milky fragrance.

“Awooo… aw?” (What… what’s going on?)

Compared to Pochi’s curiosity, the mutated cockroach, tightly gripped by Han Sen, felt only boundless terror!

The intense pain from its arm made it twitch all over, but at this moment, it had no time to worry about its injuries, because the energy orb, compressed to its limit in Han Sen’s mouth, was emitting a destructive aura, like a harbinger of death hanging overhead, announcing its imminent arrival!!

“No—!”

“Mercy—!”

“Ya, yamete…!!!”

Boom—!!!

The mutated cockroach’s horrified and desperate screams abruptly ceased!

Its ugly head, along with most of its body, was instantly swallowed by the searing white “Incineration Blast,” which expanded to the height of a person after Han Sen spat it out!

The violent energy slammed hard into the passage wall!

Although Han Sen’s Lv 1 version of “Incineration Blast” was far less devastating than the original, unable to penetrate the thick rock structure of the Monster Association’s base, it still caused a violent explosion!

The shockwave made the passage vibrate, rubble showered down, and the hit rock wall was blasted into a charred pit several meters deep, its edges appearing vitrified and molten!

[Killed Wolf-level monster “Mutated Cockroach,” gained Origin Points × 2!]

The system prompt sounded, Origin Points arrived, meaning the mutated cockroach had died very peacefully!

No pain, no struggle.

As the aftermath of the explosion dissipated, the air was filled with a strong burnt smell of protein mixed with scorched carapace.

Only the lower half of the mutated cockroach remained, still twitching. Its shattered upper body was instantly carbonized and cooked by the terrifying high temperature, sizzling with black smoke.

The sudden turn of events was witnessed by Pochi. Its huge tail wagged unconsciously, slapping against the rock walls on either side, making muffled “thudding” sounds and creating huge cracks.

Judging by the pleased look in its six slightly narrowed eyes, it was clearly very satisfied with this “pre-meal show.”

One “Incineration Blast” almost drained the vast energy that had just been born within Han Sen. A strong sense of weakness washed over him, making him almost lose his footing.

But he dared not pause for a moment, enduring the feeling of exhaustion, pushing the still-steaming half of the charred monster corpse in front of Pochi.

He then carefully retreated a few steps, holding his breath.

Pochi lowered its massive head, its nose approaching the half-charred monster corpse, sniffing hard.

Then, it opened its gaping maw, rolled its tongue, and swallowed the “cooked” and shrunken snack.

“Awoo—”

After eating, Pochi seemed unsatisfied, letting out a low bark at Han Sen.

Han Sen froze.

Perhaps due to copying “Beast Instinct,” he, who had never kept a pet, miraculously understood the meaning of this inexplicable bark at this moment.

He instinctively blurted out, testing: “You mean… this one was grilled well, but it would be even tastier if it were a little more charred?”

“Awooo! Awoo—!” (Exactly! Exactly—)
