Life in North America, you call this an autopsy officer?!-Chapter 441 - 256: The BUG Born Under Talent Fusion

As the saying goes, a true gentleman hides his tools within himself, ready to use them at the appropriate time. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Brian’s brother, under normal circumstances, preferred to keep a low profile, never keen on showing off or acting rashly.

As Brian silently chanted in his mind,

a strange sensation began to surge through his body.

The next moment,

a torrent of blood rushed to his brother at a speed nearly at the limit his body could withstand, filling him to the brim.

At the same time, changes occurred in the density of his brother’s skin and keratin layer.

Let’s not even mention the painful sting.

The entire transformation process was over in less than two seconds.

Looking at his brother, now extended in form, head held high, veins bulging, and far from low-key,

Brian raised his eyebrows.

Not bad at all.

He extended a finger and flicked.

Twang~

The dull sound echoed in the confined room.

It wasn’t the crisp sound of metal being struck, but rather a thud as if hitting some sort of hard leather.

Nevertheless, in terms of hardness, it was no worse than a common iron pipe.

"It seems that structure-wise, it still depends on the physical foundation; it’s impossible to truly transform flesh and skin into metal. It’s just trying to get as close as possible to the characteristics of an iron pipe. I bet that Sudan definitely isn’t as fierce as this..."

At that moment, Brian felt that his brother could pierce through a human body.

Shattering a brick with a single strike would certainly pose no problem.

The only issue was that this state was clearly unhealthy, making him feel very uncomfortable.

According to the feedback from his Supercomputer Perception Talent, if he continued in this state for about five hours, he would lose his brother permanently, around four hours and his brother would only retain the function to urinate, around three hours and his brother would lose sensation for some time...

In short, the longer the duration, the greater the damage to the body.

This made Brian somewhat frustrated: "Isn’t this thing just like an alternative form of Body Control, only slightly more magical?"

Had he chosen the wrong Gift?

With this frustrated mood, he began various experiments.

If someone like Sudan could burst forth with a speed of five seconds for a hundred meters, there was no reason he could only achieve this much!

"Brother, you’re not an iron pipe, you’re bloody an alloy steel pipe that could smash through a wall in one go!!!"

Brian gritted his teeth and silently chanted!

The next moment,

Brian’s face turned pale.

The surging blood roiled.

Visibly to the naked eye, his brother swelled to nearly three times the waistline, twice the height, the high concentration of blood nearly solidified in the veins, forcefully stretching and smoothing out the folds over his brother’s prosperous belly.

With the sensation of a significant loss of blood,

Brian clenched his fists, stood his ground, his body trembling uncontrollably, lips tightly bitten, enduring the pain that nearly made him howl.

Pain!

It was too painful!

He felt as if his brother was about to burst at any moment.

"Fuck, brother, it’s fake, everything just now was fake, get back to normal, you’re too frightening like this!"

Enduring the nearly explosive pain, Brian collected the data and quickly reverted his brother back to being less conspicuous, to turn over a new leaf and become the stick once more!

...

"Phew~"

Brian sat on the floor, still shaken, his legs trembling.

According to the feedback from Supercomputer Perception,

during those less than three seconds, his brother actually reached a strength akin to alloy steel, but could only maintain it for a few seconds before threatening to explode.

"Thank goodness I was quick on the uptake!"

Even though Brian could grow a new brother if his exploded, that kind of scene would likely traumatize any normal person.

Even with his quick reaction, he could no longer feel the presence of his brother.

His brother had clearly sustained serious damage in the process.

Suppressing his residual fear,

Brian continued to experiment: "Brother, pull yourself together, you’re okay, you’re just like you were in your normal state before, you’re okay~"

The next moment,

a warm flow akin to Gift Energy for healing and Enhancement surged through Brian’s body, finally converging in the residence of Brian’s brother.

Brian’s complexion turned pale again, he felt weak, as if all his physical energy had been drained in an instant.

In contrast, his brother regained sensation, a numb and tingling sense, currently in an abnormal state of rapid recovery.

This sensation, how to put it,

is like a knock-off version of Gift Energy healing.

This state didn’t last too long.

When Brian felt as if he was famished, having not eaten for days and nights, as if he saw his great grandmother, the healing ceased.

After draining all the stored energy in his body,

his brother had almost returned to normal.

Brian quickly consumed a unit of Gift Energy to replenish his body’s depletion.

After recovering his strength, his face showed delight.

This Self-Deception, with effects similar to his Body Control but even more peculiar, didn’t follow the usual path.

The limit of this talent depended on the strength of his own physique, and it wasn’t simply as he claimed, but it allowed him to easily reach the limits of his body.

This was different from Brian’s bursting state.

The limit state brought about by Self-Deception was more akin to Heavenly Demon Disintegration, similar to the Overclocking State brought about by Brian’s Body Control Talent.

The Overclocking State is when Brian actively burns all the cell energy in his body, his physical form deteriorating even as he fought.

But that requires a process.

Self-Deception is different.

It can instantly burn up all of Brian’s cellular energy and unleash the most brilliant strike of his life, one far more powerful than the slowly deteriorating Overclocking State.
