GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 1189 Healthy Obsession.

Legion-5 could be seen on the screen fighting right now. The video is moving at a very fast pace and only the highlights lingered.

In the first scene, he is shown to have transformed his arms into blades of silver. He used a metal spoon that he brought from his house to shape his body instead of a stone from the arena. Not only did the silver form a hard layer on his body, but he was also able to flatten his arms and shape them into blades.

"How did he do it? Can he control his flesh perfectly or can he control the metallic layer perfectly? Is he using the metallic layer to forcefully transform his body or is the metallic layer a part of his body and he can control it easily?"

He has so many questions and they keep increasing the more he watches the matches. His soared interest in his son is because a Supreme beast shouldn't be able to shape his body into an inorganic material at all.

Supreme beasts can shapeshift but it is very limited shapeshifting. They can only change how they look and some of their physical features as mana entities. These changes are limited to the size and length of their body parts. It is not until they become transcendents that they can change their soul fluctuations.

Transcendents can change their arm into weapons. It would be fleshy weapons but it would still be useful. But Legion-5 is not a transcendent. And even transcendents can't change their flesh into inorganic matter like rocks and metals. This is why he has become noticed by a lot of Supreme beasts.

Another one of Legion-5's fights was replayed. In this scene, his left arm was a silver blade while his whole body was brown. He used both the metal spoon and the stone. His opponent was a very capable fighter with a malleable body that could stretch and bend to a small extent but she couldn't beat him. Her flexibility allowed her to perform attacks that rigid bodies shouldn't be able to perform but he still cut her apart with a blade formed from his hands.

His father's eyes shined with the light of greed. He muttered to himself, "Even another mutant died to him. This is unprecedented."

The Supreme beast he just killed is another mutant that hatched a long time before Legion-5 so she had a lot of time to train than him. She could also shift herself into two modes. She could make her size swell and bulk up physically such that her strength increases.

She could also thin her muscle mass to attain a wider range of flexibility and elasticity than the normal Supreme beast. The two modes can't be used at the same time and it is clear which mode she prioritized.

The thin mode weakens her but it also makes her movements difficult to grasp and increases her movement and attack speed. The thin mode makes her wield the blades in her two hands with blinding speed. She had hoped it would help her to get one over Legion-5. It is clear now that while blunt force couldn't overcome his defenses, it is unlikely for her other means to work either.

Legion-5's father shook his head as he watched. The other mutant is not his descendant but he is not glad that his descendant managed to defeat her. Most fathers would be glad that their offspring are better than those of others but not him. He is more focused on cracking the secret of his offspring than celebrating his success.

Several more scenes were shown of Legion-5 using his shapeshifting ability in ways that no other Shapiro had ever used before. Shapiros have limited body transformation. That is the basis of their shapeshifting. But while they could only morph themselves and use it to hide, Legion-5 can give his body the properties of inanimate things by touching them. It made his father want to dissect and examine him immediately.

"He really is a mutant." Another origin god said.

Legion-5's father grunted.

The Origin god continued, "How unlucky for you. You're not going to get anything from this."

His father lamented, "If only we were in the days before the Supreme Alliance. I would be able to do with him whatever I please."

The Origin god snickered. "Unfortunately, we are not in those days. And things are better for it."

Monarch Tellos as he is popularly referred to, or Hentria791,473,923B as he is called by the Supreme Alliance, considered what the other Origin god said but he didn't refute them.

Things are better with the Supreme Alliance. The race has prospered because of their rule but some freedom has been infringed upon. It is the disadvantage of having a governing body. You can't do whatever you want including using your own son for experiments, eating him, or using your son to barter anymore.

"What is your evaluation of him? Do you think he will survive the blood crucible?" His father asked.

The origin god didn't think about the question before she answered. "Of course, he will survive. He has been fully analyzed and the verdict is that unless he is very unlucky, he will survive."

"You're that confident of him?"

"Yes, I am." The Origin god replied. "He is obviously an amateur at fighting. He is too clumsy and he doesn't even know how to control his body. But that isn't his fault either. He is too young. But that divine ability of his will ensure his survival. Those poor Shapiros are doomed as his opponent."

His father had to agree. "Yes. Armor isn't allowed in the blood crucible but he gets one. He also gets stronger the more he eats. He is like the original demon ancestor of the Shapiros. Eating made them stronger. But even the original demon ancestor couldn't change their body into metal. At least not our demon ancestor. I doubt any Supreme beast will be able to survive the combination of armor and power."
