Poverty makes me capable of anything.

He turned and left the room, going into the storage room next door.

A vial of reagent was placed in the frozen box.

This is his true achievement during this period.

His hand holding the test tube trembled slightly as Erwin fell into a reverie.

During his experiments on Sheila and his intimate contact with her, he collected a lot of her cell tissues. Every night, he would enter this storage room to prepare the reagent in his hand.

Whether it's the mild Reagent No. 1 or the most aggressive Reagent No. 9, they are both ultimately dangerous substances.

Since it was modified based on materials extracted from the Void Demon, it's hard to say whether it's suitable for humans. In contrast, the materials extracted from Sheila's body were successful products and had been verified.

Even if the effect is weaker, it is safe enough.

The same applies to power; power that is not in one's own hands cannot be called power.

Irwin isn't stupid.

Despite Sheila's seemingly cooperative demeanor, giving him whatever he wanted, he still caught the occasional glint of coldness in her eyes.

Sheila didn't kill him because he was still useful.

The same applies to the Hundred Wood Pirates. Although they are weaker, they can still study some things, so let's not kill them and just take them back.

Erwin was originally the head of a biological laboratory at a research company, but the arrival of the Hundred Wood Pirates not only ruined his career but also his family.

This kind of hatred cannot be forgotten by a little kindness or favor.

Fortunately, the people in the Hundred Wood Pirate Gang were unaware of this, otherwise he would not have been able to become the director. Even so, the higher-ups at Hundred Wood were very wary of him, and there were quite a few people watching him openly and secretly in the laboratory.

“I will take them all back, and I will give you the same experience.”

As he murmured, Erwin pricked his own arm with a needle.

come on!

He had thought it through clearly: if Sheila died this time, he would continue searching for someone else. If she survived, he would immediately report her situation to the higher-ups at Baimu.

Haha, woman, are you surprised? Unexpected, aren't you?

That's why Irwin exercised for so long just now.

No matter how things develop, he will not keep Sheila by his side.

Chapter 20 Make way, I'm about to transform!

Even though the medicine seemed mild, the pain it caused after entering the body still exceeded Erwin's imagination.

It felt as if thousands of insects were gnawing inside my body.

He knew that the medicine was modifying his body. This was not the kind of gradual change that comes with cultivation, because after successful modification, one's strength would increase explosively. Therefore, it was understandable that he would experience this kind of pain.

As for the aftereffects, to be honest, Irwin isn't thinking about that anymore.

Don't let Sheila's fierce and powerful appearance fool you; who knows what she might become in the future.

Perhaps due to the side effects, it will eventually become a Void Demon.

Let's take advantage of this exotic atmosphere and use it more often.

Despite the considerable risks, Sheila's power is undeniable.

Erwin's greatest wish now is revenge.

But it's not just about revenge; he wants to make the higher-ups of the Hundred Wood Pirates experience his pain and also wants to take control of this huge force!

Power, therefore, one must have power.

Side effects? So be it.

It would be strange if there were no side effects without long-term observation and experiments with a large number of samples.

"what……"

After a long silence, Erwin snapped out of it, shouted, and then clenched his fist and slammed it heavily on the bed where he was resting.

Boom—

Something surprising happened.

The bed frame, made of a special material, actually collapsed under his hammering.

The back of his head slammed heavily against his side, his consciousness faltered, and bright red blood began to flow.

It collapsed...

Irwin's eyes regained focus.

and many more!

When did I acquire such power?

correct.

Realizing what he had been doing, Erwin sat up despite the pain.

Successful.

The drug had successfully modified his body. He quickly touched the back of his head; although there was still blood on it, there were no wounds.

Exceptional recovery ability.

Extraordinary strength.

And speed!

Erwin's casual punches created a series of blurry afterimages.

The effect is even better than the "Ora Ora" animation shown.

He had not received any professional training, yet he still demonstrated this level of skill.

This is all thanks to an extraordinary physique!

Irwin was overjoyed.

There should be more changes than that; Sheila's eyes have become X-shaped, and her arms can easily cut through high-strength materials.

but……

what.

Standing in front of the mirror, Erwin discovered that his body had not undergone any changes.

Her pupils are normal, so there's no need for her to wear colored contact lenses to deceive people. She also doesn't have scales like Shira on her hands and feet, and looks no different from a normal person.

The difference was probably that Erwin noticed his body had become whiter.

Her skin is so supple and smooth, it's even more enviable than that of women who have undergone professional skincare. What kind of magic is this?

Because the drug was extracted from Sheila's body, is its effectiveness weakened?

Feeling an unusual energy within his body, Erwin tried to control it. It suddenly surged out from his index finger along the bloodstream, and in the blink of an eye, the mirror in front of him melted away.

"..."

It also seems to have the effect of creating a shadow of the body, but Erwin is not very familiar with any of it.

"Hahaha..." He was laughing wildly!

Powerful, strong, and an energy that even Sheila had never shown before.

Wait! Erwin's face suddenly froze for a moment. Perhaps Sheila had deliberately not told him that his equipment might not be able to detect this alien energy.

That despicable little bitch!

Erwin's face was gloomy. He tidied up the room and, after making sure everything looked normal, opened the door and went out.

He then walked over to the instrument where Sheila was.

As the body absorbs it, the originally purple liquid is gradually becoming colorless.

This will allow for a better display of Sheila's body.

Mountains, plains, hills, grasslands, and deep valleys—you can see all kinds of terrain.

Still the same...

Ok?

As he was admiring the sight, cold sweat broke out on Erwin's forehead. He had discovered something that terrified countless male creatures!

That was a pain that even a swordsman could not bear.

Imagine how terrifying it would be if a swordsman's finely forged sword suddenly broke.

Well, to be more accurate, it's like the straight sword suddenly turned into a flexible sword.

"How is this possible..."

Irwin was dumbfounded.

If Sheila could still refrain from drawing her sword in this state, she must either be a master swordsman like Liu Xiahui who has reached the level of swordsmanship beyond swordsmanship, or her sword must be broken and she has no sword to draw!

White breath was coming out of his nostrils as Erwin hurriedly returned to the storage room.

This must be an illusion; it's probably because I just strengthened my body and my attention isn't on this!

Erwin opened his treasured possessions.

That was a feature film shot during a workout with Shila.

Sword practice requires external stimulation!

When testing a sword, you need to concentrate!

Sharpening a sword is an art in itself!

However you look at it, the core of it all comes down to the word "sword".

But after the feature film began playing, Erwin discovered something even more terrifying.

Everything else was ready, but his sword really malfunctioned!

how come?
