I'm not just human!

Chapter 424 The Primal Stomach Opens Fully! A Frenzied Devouring! Countless Extraordinary Talents Acquired! (Part 2)

"A supernatural being at the quasi-celestial level —"

Seeing that Xia Fa was swimming towards the terrifying giant whale, both the Poison Patriarch Veronica and the Nature Bee felt a sense of fear and dared not follow.

Of course, on the other hand, it was also because of confidence in Xia Fa's abilities that they felt comfortable letting him handle the situation.

The two of them couldn't handle a giant whale that was at least a quasi-Celestial Venerable level, but for Xia Fa, it was a piece of cake.

"What kind of supernatural creature is this?" Veronica asked, quite curiously.

"I don't know, I don't recognize it either. Maybe it's a unique kind born from the [World Serpent]." Nature Bee shook its head.

As a juvenile entity, it currently possesses an innate ability to recognize all sorts of supernatural beings, whether from the real world or the Protoss realm.

However, it didn't recognize this giant whale at all, nor did it know its characteristics, its extraordinary talents, or how difficult it would be to deal with.

However, it has absolute faith in its owner.

"So big—"

At this moment, after swimming to a distance from the giant whale covered in crystal-red scales, Xia Fa truly witnessed its size.

This giant whale is comparable in size to a small planet: with just a flick of its tail, it can create a waterspout on the seabed, leaving countless small fish and insects dizzy and disoriented.

Moreover, the void was subtly cracked wherever it swam, which gives an idea of ​​how heavy it was.

Xia Fa's heart suddenly burned with passion. He opened his giant mouth and spat at the giant whale from afar.

With a "plop," accompanied by countless viscous fluids, he spat out a pure black stomach. This stomach was connected to the esophagus and led to his throat. As soon as it appeared, it immediately became enormous, like a black curtain, directly enveloping the giant whale.

This is how the signatories of the "Primal Stomach" devour supernatural creatures and the bizarre.

Even Xia Fa had to admit that, just looking at this scene, it was indeed quite terrifying and eerie. No wonder some magicians would call the extraordinary beings "the corrupt" or "the fallen."

In essence, this is simply because after signing the "Primal Stomach Pouch," the stomach of the superhuman undergoes a fundamental change, acquiring many unique and secret abilities, making it much easier to vomit directly without damaging the esophagus.

Moreover, it can digest supernatural creatures or monsters it devours directly outside the body, avoiding any traps or curses.

In other words, this is actually a manifestation of "power," rather than something "out of control" or "mutation."

Even as the stomach was about to engulf it, the giant whale continued to swim forward, seemingly oblivious.

But suddenly, just as the front of the stomach touched its back, whoosh!

The giant whale, like a shrimp, suddenly bent its body and launched itself out!

Moreover, it appeared directly three light-years away!

That speed is almost comparable to the normal top speed of the overclocked "Speed"!

"That's interesting—"

Xia Fa never expected that this attack would miss, mainly because the giant whale was so big, yet it was so agile.

He was about to give chase when he saw the giant whale launch itself several times like a shrimp, instantly creating a distance of more than ten light-years.

This is the giant whale's survival strategy. It can grow from a tiny whale in the one-inch zone to become a dominant force in the seven-inch zone, relying on this unexpected method for both escape and hunting.

Thinking of the terrifying pressure emanating from that dark stomach, the giant whale breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that it had run fast. It was about to turn around and find a safer place in the ruins to hide in.

A figure shrouded in chaotic lightning and wearing a clown mask stood not far in front of it, as if it had been waiting there for a long time.

"You dare mess with me!"

At that moment, Xia Fa snorted inwardly, feeling a strange sense of wicked amusement.

It must be admitted that the giant whale was indeed very fast when it launched like a shrimp, but compared to himself who had mastered [Eternal Speed], it was far inferior.

Just now, he briefly allowed the overclocked speedster "Speed" to possess him, and with just one step, he directly traversed a distance of more than ten light-years and arrived in front of this giant whale.

The speed was so fast that even he himself hadn't expected it, but he adapted to it quickly.

And then—

Swish!

As soon as Xia Fa opened his mouth, a huge oval-shaped black shadow flashed by and immediately enveloped the giant whale.

This time, his stomach moved so fast that the giant whale didn't even have a chance to bend its body or tense its muscles, let alone launch itself!

Glug glug—

After the pitch-black stomach enveloped the giant whale, it immediately began to sway like a black water sphere. In that instant, the mystical gastric acid with its extremely strong digestive ability was secreted, instantly engulfing the giant whale inside.

The giant whale didn't even have time to struggle before it was instantly reduced to a bronze skeleton, which then dissolved in stomach acid and was completely digested.

Xia Fa's throat bobbed, and he tilted his head back as if to swallow his stomach again.

For some reason, he felt incredibly full and satisfied, almost as if he had drunk dozens of bottles of iced strawberry wine.

"Now we don't need the flesh of the Wall of Flesh and Blood—we can just capture some supernatural creatures and strange beings at the peak of Outer God or Quasi-Celestial Venerable level and seal them away."

Although he had anticipated this effect, Xia Fa was still quite pleased. The lack of extraordinary or divine power that had been troubling him for so long was finally resolved.

Immediately, a mental storm swept through his mind, and lines of information and intelligence automatically appeared.

【Wandering Whale】

[A peculiar supernatural creature born from the Mortal Python, it enjoys devouring sea ants, sea bean worms, and sea silkworm pupae. It is often born at only the whale-level rank, but as an adult, it can generally reach the Outer God rank, with a very few individuals breaking through to the Quasi-Celestial Venerable rank.]

[Possesses extraordinary talents: deadly ricochet, evasive ricochet, voracious absorption, super self-healing body, dormant cocoon, rapid digestion, burst of crystal scales, destructive flames————]

"A full hundred extraordinary talents?"

Xia Fa finally understood why this "Wandering Whale" could reach the extremely rare Quasi-Celestial Venerable level. With hundreds of extraordinary talents, it was almost like having signed a hundred secret contracts!

Of course, most extraordinary talents are not as good as those of the Overlord-level Secret Contract, but they are far stronger than those of ordinary Secret Contracts. So, all things considered, although they are weaker than the True Gods, they are definitely stronger than the peak Outer Gods.

"Out of a hundred, at least let me draw one, I don't need many—"

Feeling the strange "substance" being extracted and recombined in his stomach, Xiafa silently prayed.

Now, as a subordinate god with the strength of a Celestial Venerable, his knowledge is far beyond what it used to be. He has even attended the banquet of the son of a righteous god, so he naturally understands a lot of information related to the overlord-level secret contract of the "Primordial Stomach".

For example, under normal circumstances, the probability of a Primal Stomach Contractor gaining extraordinary talent through devouring fluctuates between one percent and one ten-thousandth.

Of course, if you encounter a supernatural talent that you really want, you can activate the Primal Stomach's secret ability, "Primal Extraction".

After initiating the Primal Extraction, one is guaranteed to gain a desired extraordinary talent upon absorption. The cost is a prolonged period of weakness, ranging from a few years to several hundred years, depending on the quality of the extraordinary talent.

Of course, absorbing the sacred metal corresponding to the primordial stomach, such as "Primal Explosion Secret Uranium," can shorten the duration of weakness.

However, if one possesses an exceptionally powerful talent, using "Primal Extraction" can easily lead to loss of control.

Another secret ability of the Primal Stomach is called "Primal Unlocking," which is a method to release all the supernatural creatures or monsters that one has devoured and fixed within oneself, thereby greatly enhancing one's own strength.

Shafa had seen the secret ability "Primal Secrets" many times, whether it was Michel, Ruscondro, or Pope Nidhogg, they had all used it.

"Devour, absorb, fix, primordial extraction, primordial secret unraveling —"

Xia Fa murmured, these are the five secret abilities of the "Primal Stomach". Devouring and absorption are easy to understand, and he just used these two secret abilities.

As for "fixation," it can be understood as a weaker version of "primordial detachment" with minimal cost, which can fix supernatural creatures or monsters that have been devoured into one's own body, thereby using some of their extraordinary talents.

However, strictly speaking, this kind of extraordinary talent is not as good as direct absorption. If the supernatural creature or monster being devoured is destroyed in battle, the corresponding extraordinary talent will naturally become unusable.

For some reason, Xia Fa has a natural aversion to having other supernatural beings or strange creatures "fixed" in his body, so he will not choose to do so unless he encounters something that is very worthwhile.

"They're here!"

Xia Fa muttered to himself, his eyes shining as he awaited the result of this "extraction".

The next moment, two whale phantoms emerged from the pitch-black stomach, looking exactly like the wandering whale.

One of the wandering whale phantoms was repeating the process of being injured and recovering. No matter how serious the injury, it was healing rapidly and soon returned to normal.

The second illusory wandering whale swayed its body, and ruby-like scales shot out from its body, covering almost everything around it in all directions, their sharpness reaching its peak.

"[Super Self-Healing Body][Crystal Scale Eruption] ————"

Xia Fa's eyes lit up. He never expected that out of more than a hundred extraordinary talents, he would actually draw two of them!

He was already quite content with just one!

In particular, both of these extraordinary talents are extremely useful. I was just looking for the ability to heal injuries so quickly, and I actually managed to draw them!

As for the "Crystal Scale Burst", it goes without saying that it can be used in conjunction with the god-level mutation "Absolute Guardian Giant Scale" to easily achieve a surprise effect!

In particular, given the sheer toughness of the "Absolute Guardian Giant Scale," which could withstand even a Celestial Venerable's attack, it's unimaginable what the effect would be if it were launched like a flying knife.

Soon, the two illusory images of wandering whales merged into his body. Xia Fa quickly looked around and found that the patterns of the two wandering whales had appeared on his lower abdomen.

This is also the mark of the original stomach signifier; the extraordinary talents absorbed will appear as patterns on the outside of the body or somewhere inside the body.

Xia Fa originally thought it would be on her forearm or neck, but now that it's on her lower abdomen, it's acceptable.

Otherwise, it would look a bit like a tattoo.

Without much thought, Xia Fa immediately looked at the back of his hand.

There, a stomach symbol appeared, translucent all over, but one-third of it was filled with black.

Next to the stomach, there are two small dots of light, which are only about one ten-thousandth of the total length of the stomach's outline.

"So, before my stomach regains its digestive capacity, I can still devour two more near-Celestial Venerable-level creatures?"

"As for the extraordinary talents I can acquire—the total number is ten thousand."

Ten thousand? That's just too outrageous. Xia Fa even checked it again to make sure it was correct before letting out a long sigh of relief.

The children of the true gods have all signed a contract with the Primordial Stomach, so Shafa specifically asked them about the total amount of extraordinary talents they could gain through absorption.

The highest is the "Necessary Fist," which yields around three hundred, while the lowest is the "Observer of All Things," which only yields a little over one hundred.

However, Xia Fa never expected that he would actually receive ten thousand —

"Looking at it this way, if I have nothing to do in the future, I'll try to find supernatural creatures or strange beings with many extraordinary talents and high status to devour. Hmm—maybe I can go and see other mysterious forbidden zones, or go deep into the Protoss Realm, or even visit the tombs of the Great Old Ones."

Ten thousand. I don't know if I can gather them all before becoming a true god. Of course, it's okay if I can't. Relatively speaking, becoming a true god is more important. There's no need to wait.

Anyway, you can continue to devour others after becoming a true god.

"By the way, can the Gold Cleaner devour?"

The audacious thought suddenly popped into Xia Fa's mind, startling him. He immediately recalled what the children of the true gods had mentioned at the dinner table: some Outer Gods who had signed contracts with the Primal Stomach had attempted to devour the Bronze Cleaners, only to have their bodies explode.

Moreover, it was the kind of case that couldn't be saved—

Thinking about it that way, even the Gold Cleaner probably couldn't devour it.

Seeing that his body was full of divine power and spiritual energy, and that he had also gained two very useful extraordinary talents, Xia Fa felt full of motivation and prepared to find two more quasi-celestial beings in the [Mortal Python] to devour.

In the Celestial Spirit Realm, supernatural beings or strange creatures at the Quasi-Celestial Venerable level are rare, so we must take advantage of this place to search more.

He took a few small steps and returned to Veronica, the Poison Patriarch, and the Bee of Nature, startling them both.

There was nothing they could do; Xia Fa's speed was now too fast, exceeding the range of their spiritual intuition.

"Master, did the devouring succeed?" The Nature Bee asked cautiously, seeing the smile on Xia Fa's face.

"Yes, it worked. Let's go and continue searching for the bee swarm." Xia Fa replied with a smile, waving his hand and immediately leading the way.

This time, there wasn't much worth devouring along the way. Mainly because my standards have risen, and I only want quasi-celestial beings.

Chasing the silver bullet, the three flew for more than twenty light-years before finally stopping outside an underwater valley.

"This should be it, there's no mistake."

Xia Fa made a joke, but at that moment, Veronica and the Bee of Nature seemed to be stunned by some extremely spectacular sight, staring blankly ahead.

A few kilometers ahead, there was a beehive comparable in size to a planet, like an ancient and ancient city. Countless wasps, numbering in the billions, scurried back and forth in the hexagonal grid, their wings buzzing and causing the surrounding water to ripple.

These wasps are also quite unique in appearance; instead of a sharp stinger, their tails are emerald green snake heads that sway and flick their forked tongues, giving off an extremely dangerous feeling.

"Is this the kind of bee colony you wanted?" Shafa asked.

Veronica shook her head blankly: "No, no, these are called snake-headed wasps. The truly powerful swarm should live in that hive. They are their masters, but—"

"But what?"

"I sense that there is a queen bee with the quasi-celestial level in this hive. I... I can't defeat her." Veronica lowered her head.

"Are you sure about the Queen Bee, who has the rank of Quasi-Celestial Venerable?" Xia Fa's eyes suddenly lit up.

Isn't this the second quasi-celestial-level supernatural creature that I can devour?
