Ultimate Life Begins with Injustice

Chapter 036: Ice Rainy Night in Metropolis

Suren looked at Korgos inside the glass case and gently tapped the glass.

For some reason, Suren could sense that it was a creature with emotions, but the [Emotional Furnace] did not contain any negative emotions.

"You really know how to enjoy life..."

Suren tapped her knuckles lightly on the transparent, high-strength glass. Keggs, who was digesting his nutrients, paused noticeably, but then continued eating as if nothing had happened.

Unlike Old A and Big B, who were relieved that the mission had succeeded, Suren knew that this creature was also...

The panel for the [Bio Blueprint] appeared in Suren's hands.

Although he doesn't want to become that kind of creature, who knows what special qualities he might have?

[Analyzing: Korgos]

Species: Unknown

While looking at the panel, Suren moved other instruments and solutions from the laboratory and began the experiment.

After thirty minutes of various tests and recordings, Suren finally understood the characteristics of this creature.

lazy.

Perhaps it's related to its birth environment, since this blob of slime first appeared in the sewer.

It's the kind that gets stuck in the drain and can't be flushed out.

The sewage in the sewers usually contains a lot of nutrients, which it uses to grow and thrive.

At the same time, the ability to eat without moving is ingrained in its instincts.

However, a problem arose: as the "body" grew larger, even with minimal consumption, it gradually became unable to meet the nutritional needs of the sewage.

It felt "hunger".

If it weren't for this, even if it had developed sentience, it probably wouldn't have been able to escape from the stuck sewer opening.

So it didn't resist in the sewer, simply because... it was too lazy to resist, since Suren and the others had helped it reduce its heat consumption.

This spirit—that living is the best thing, that you can move around a little to make sure you're full, and that it's okay to die—is its core.

[Preliminary analysis completed]

[Kogrus (named based on the host's addition), a wondrous creature that gains life in the sewers.]

Based on interaction and depth, this rating is C. You can choose one of the following three skills.

[Rotting Skin: Transforms the entire body's skin into a highly alkaline state, causing a corrosive effect on anything it comes into contact with.]

[Disease transmission: When an individual's resistance to pathogens is significantly reduced, they can carry multiple viruses or bacteria in their body, greatly increasing their activity and drug resistance.]

[Thick Soup Resurrection: After death, at the cost of losing memory and sanity, it retains its most basic instincts under nutritious conditions and is reborn as a khegus.]

"This is outrageous!"

After carefully reviewing the three skills, Suren slammed the entire notebook onto the table, resembling the "Gag Manga Biyori" he had read in his previous life.

He felt like he had drawn three cards and received three completely different pieces of junk.

A skill that doesn't even harm the enemy will cause you to suffer muscle damage and corrosion; choosing it will cause you unbearable pain.

The other is turning the body into a breeding ground for bacteria and viruses. Even with the "Emotional Furnace" and the reversal technique to heal the body,

The only reincarnation-type skill, which means I have to completely reset my stats to become a slime.

Others rise from the ashes like a phoenix, but he's like a fly laying eggs...

None of them even look human...

Suren sighed, looking at Korg, who was still carefree behind the glass.

That's true. The organism being studied is completely inhuman. A few ordinary people could just take some precautions, put it in a bag, and throw it into a glass case. What powerful abilities could it possibly have?

[Three minutes of inactivity detected. Would you like to add it to your skill library for later selection?]

Seeing this notification pop up on the panel, Su Lun breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes."

As the panel closed, Suren picked up the notebook from the table.

Fortunately, he can save this skill selection, which gives him some peace of mind, as if his half-hour of work wasn't a complete waste.

If the skill were simply disabled, then Suren, who had spent half an hour enduring hunger to study it, could put on the red nose, buy a ticket to Gotham, and become Batman's nemesis.

However, if forced to choose or randomly selected from three options, Suren can only choose [Thick Soup Revitalizing] as a backup.

After all, it's better to become an unconscious slime after death, because you won't even realize it then, and you might even have a chance to regain your memories.

The other two are truly deadly; if Suren were still an ordinary person, she would have died on the spot after making the choice.

"It's better to go out to eat with Old A and the others..."

Suren tossed her white coat onto the coat rack and grumbled as she walked out of the elevator.

After working for half an hour, I not only didn't become stronger, but I also had to spend the money for a meal.

This bucket of cold water from reality instantly extinguished his nascent enthusiasm.

Studying the Korgs was also a way for Suren to improve his physical strength.

But it seems that he can only be reborn as a slime after death, and even then, without memories or intelligence.

The "Emotional Forge," or its predecessor, the "Hatred Forge," harbors hidden dangers in the notes left by that genius.

That is the human body, especially the physical body of an ordinary person.

Even if energy can be used to enhance the body, there is an upper limit to this enhancement.

Therefore, the genius who was named Icarus wrote in his notes: "The owner should have the deepest hatred for the world in order to unleash the furnace's maximum power."

The current "Emotional Furnace" has solved the problem of energy reserves, allowing Suren to expand the range of negative emotions she can absorb, thus possessing near-infinite energy.

However, this human body is ultimately too weak, and there is still an upper limit to the release and amplification of energy.

Although the problem is there, it cannot be solved in a short time.

After all, he doesn't have a source point right now, so he needs to change the world in order to go to other worlds to improve his abilities.

It seems that I still need to contribute to major events, since I now have the ability to protect myself.

If I could join the Justice League, then even if Superman eventually took Lois into space, I would still know what I was doing and could hide in the shadows.

Suren sighed and walked out of the building's revolving door.

"It's raining..." Suren was dumbfounded. Now he completely regretted not going with Old A and the others.

"It's still freezing rain..."

Suren clicked his tongue and wiped his face.

The Lex Group is located in the heart of the metropolis. Although they have deposited a settlement allowance and his first month's salary into Suren's account, he has not yet bought a car.

He has been taking the subway to and from get off work for the past two days. As a "city of tomorrow", the metro system in the metropolis is much cleaner than he had imagined.

The main reason is that he also commuted in this way in his previous life, so he has become somewhat dependent on this route.

After making up her mind to buy a car, Suren pulled her coat over her head and headed straight for the subway station.

"One set meal, extra fries, please."

Suren stood at the entrance of the fried chicken fast food restaurant, wiping her face with her shirt as she ordered from the staff inside.

"Trick or treat!"

A childish voice rang out beside him.
