Awakened: Evolving to Godhood

"Yes."

Elliot did not hesitate as he could tell that his supernatural cells would become more powerful after consuming the poison.

He was proven right when he felt a slight increase in his supernatural power.

Although the increase was so little that anyone would ignore it, Elliot's expression changed.

He lost his calm!

A single drop was capable of pushing his supernatural cells one more step towards C-rank, then wouldn't a hundred seal the deal?

He raised his head and saw thousands of gray corpses, each made out of gray poison!

If he consumes all of them, would his supernatural ability increase to the S-rank?

Only four people had an S-rank ability!

The thought of becoming the fifth resulted in excitement taking over Elliot's mind.

"Devour!"

Elliot opened his mouth, and an incredible suction force pulled everything towards his mouth with speed so fast that it caused the serpentine devil to blink his eyes thrice. In merely a couple of seconds, tens of thousands of gray snakes vanished into Elliot's tummy, which got bloated to an unbelievable point. The serpentine devil blinked its eyes in shock. Elliot was thinning down at an incredible rate. The little snake lost its mind, wondering what the hell was going on. First, a mere mortal dared to eat its poison that could change the shape of the world and kill billions in days, yet didn't die and only became fat. And now, he was becoming slim? Wtf!

"Crunch, crunch!"

The moment the carcass of the gray snakes entered his tummy, his ravenous supernatural cells attacked them, tearing their flesh off, leaving behind not even bones to feed the dogs. At the moment, the situation was no different than a dealer giving drugs to an addict. The gray snakes were the drugs, and the supernatural cells were the addicts. The supernatural cells gobbled up the gray poison present in Elliot's body and began to experience significant changes, causing him to feel an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

[Your supernatural cells have successfully devoured a seventh rank poison, Gray Poison.]

[They are undergoing rapid evolution!]

[They are advancing to the next phase!]

[They are breaking through the great wall leading to the fourth level!]

The gray poison was capable of affecting even emperors of magic. Also, they held devastating might, one capable of melting continent to point-blank! From all these points, Elliot had already considered that this poison was comparable to an S-rank supernatural ability. Though for him, it was an excellent material, one he could use to evolve his ability and earn any benefits.

As everyone knows, his poison-type supernatural cells could develop by consuming potent poison, and the more power it was, the better.

Since the gray poison was highly potent, Elliot believed that he would get to evolve his supernatural ability to the final rank today!

[Level up!]

[Level up!!]

[Your supernatural cells have evolved to the fifth level. (B-rank!)]

A moment later, a few pleasant notifications sounded in Elliot's mind, causing his eyes to reveal intense joy.

Yet, this wasn't the end!

[They are still experiencing an increase in their evolutionary stage!]

Elliot had killed tens of thousands of gray snakes and then absorbed them; a lot of it was left inside of him.

[A mutation has occurred!]

[Your Constitution is undergoing major changes.]

If Elliot could see what was happening inside of his body, he would be amazed.

His supernatural cells not only changed their size but also gained one gray stripe. And several tentacles came out of the gray stripe on each of his supernatural cells. They extended outwards, invading his body, wrapping around his internal organs and bones, melting and becoming one with them. They also attached themselves to his skin, gradually seeping into it, causing his skin to change color. At first, it was a bit sunburnt, making him look like a greek god. Yet now, it was as white as milk, making him appear inhumane but weirdly enticing.

Elliot touched his skin. It wasn't soft at all. It was thicker than iron. Heck, he couldn't even pinch it. With skin like that, bathing in lava and taking a dip in the sun wouldn't be a problem!

[Supernatural ability, Extreme Poison Mastery has evolved to All-Destroying Poisonous Body, an A-rank supernatural power!]

'A-rank?'

Elliot's eyes widened in joy.

His ability had jumped three ranks in an instant.

The serpentine devil's poison was highly effective!

A ridiculous thought popped up in Elliot's mind.

'First, the minions of the serpentine devil helped me get hundreds of thousands of units of the essence of life. Then, the serpentine devil helped me evolve my ability to the sixth level. They are my lucky star! What else could they be if not that?!'

He was so excited that he forgot to keep his guard up.

The serpentine devil that had been looking at him in silence didn't miss this chance and immediately made his sneak attack.

In the blink of an eye, several silver lights suddenly manifested behind Elliot and then flashed towards his back, moving faster than the speed of sound.

Elliot failed to notice them, not only because he didn't have eyes behind his back but also because although all of the arrows were moving at a very high speed, they didn't even make a single sound.

One could compare them to the deadliest silent assassin in the universe.

The serpentine devil was 100% sure that he got Elliot this time.

A smile started to make its way up to its hideous face.

"Tink, Tink!"

The arrows tore apart Elliot's cloth, crashed on his back, and then bounced off.

They fell to the ground as the serpentine devil saw that their sharp ends were as horizontal as a woman's flat chest.

Its expression flattened in an instant.

It was thinking that something extraordinary was about to happen, but an unexpected fart destroyed all its plans!

Elliot smiled, not knowing what to say.

He was caught off guard, but his thick skin saved his life.

His skin was too thick!
