Chapter 72 No, I'm so poor I'm eating stones, and you're still trying to steal my sto
Shen Yi placed his right hand on the start panel of the experimental table, and a soft blue energy net rose from the table, enveloping Ru Peter's massive body.
This modification technology originates from the Death God system in the world of Origami Warriors. In that world, after humans and animals die, their souls leave their bodies and return to the Death God system for selection. Souls with combat value are transformed into spirits, while ordinary souls are cast into reincarnation.
The so-called "spirits" are actually the fighting will extracted from the Death God system. Those souls who had a strong desire to fight in life are captured, filtered, and recombined by the Yama system after death, and eventually transformed into spirit cells that can be used by Origami Warriors.
Dragons, phoenixes, and flower fairies—these seemingly fantastical creatures are, in essence, re-weaving fragments of souls.
What Shen Yi had to do was to completely peel Rupert's soul from this sugar man's body and then reshape it like weaving a fairy.
The reason Shen Yi in the Bleach world was able to transform his Zanpakuto into a graceful silver dragon was not only because he used Transformation Technique to turn the sword into paper, but more importantly, because he used this technique to re-weave the soul structure inside the Zanpakuto, which was composed of multiple Hollows.
But the situation is different now. This isn't the world of Bleach, and it lacks the spiritual particle rules of Soul Society. Furthermore, the essence of a Hollow is still a human soul, while a Sugar Man is a Sugar Man from beginning to end. What if some remnants remain during the soul modification process, causing the user to become Sugar Man-like—
Therefore, the safest method is naturally genital warping.
The energy network shone brighter and brighter, and a blue phantom of Rupert Pitt appeared above the experimental table.
Shen Yi's hands flew across the control panel, simultaneously advancing two tasks: on one hand, he used soul weaving technology to rewrite the structure of the creature's consciousness, turning it into a mindless idiot to prevent future rebellion; on the other hand, he used the technology developed by Suanhe to compress the two-meter-tall behemoth into the size of a palm.
The surgery lasted a full day and night.
As the last energy net slowly retracted, the two-meter-tall body on the experimental table disappeared, replaced by a palm-sized black rhinoceros beetle.
Its carapace is a deep blackish-brown, with faint dark gold energy patterns flowing across its surface. Although its iconic horn on its head has shrunk several times, it still maintains a sharp curve, with a cold metallic luster at its tip.
In terms of design, it looks a lot like the insect device of Kabuto, except that Kabuto is just a red mechanical creation, while this one is a genuine biological modification, with the texture of biological patterns still remaining on its black and brown carapace.
Well, it's definitely not because he thought Kabuto was cool and copied it—absolutely not. The original models are both rhinoceros beetles, so why would you say I copied Kabuto?
Perhaps it should be called the Black Armored Fighting King?
Considering that it might be a little awkward if he actually called out like that and bumped into the person in question, Shen Yi stroked his chin, a mischievous smile appearing on his lips.
"From today onwards, your name will be Kabuda."
Ru Peter—or rather, Kabuto—flew up at the sound and circled around to him.
The soul modification erased most of its memories and will as an individual, leaving only its fighting instincts and a completely new logic of obedience.
Shen Yi grabbed Kabuda and, imitating a certain arrogant king, said in a deep voice, "I have already grasped the future."
"Transformation."
"Kamen Rider: Kabutack!"
The body was covered in jet-black armor, and its design did have some of the charm of Kabuto, but the abdomen area was more like Kabuto in its super form - there was a concave area there, and a rhinoceros beetle was embedded in the concave area. At first glance, it looked like a mouth that was biting its prey tightly.
"A perfect fusion of souls."
The Red Queen's voice came through the loudspeaker: "Plant interface compatibility, 97.3%."
Shen Yi stepped into the testing room and began the numerical testing:
Punching power: 2.8 tons.
Kicking force: 4.5 tons.
Jumping ability: 15 meters.
100-meter speed: 5.1 seconds.
Shen Yi struck a pose as if begging for punishment, while secretly plotting in his mind.
Kamen Rider Kabuto is indeed significantly weaker in terms of stats compared to the new character Valen, whose punching power is a full 3.5 tons and kicking power is as high as 6.1 tons.
But Kabuto has an advantage that Valen can't match: self-repair.
Whether it's the Peerless Heavenly Dragon or the Peerless Valen, they both need to be repaired in the laboratory after being damaged; while Kabuto, as a bio-modified being, can recover on its own by simply feeding it a few stones, just like Haiyue 9.
Shen Yi deactivated his transformation, casually picked up a piece of ore that Haiyue 9 had found, and tossed it to the rhinoceros beetle. The rhinoceros beetle immediately pounced on it, biting it tightly with its mandibles, making crunching chewing sounds as it happily began to eat.
Haiyue 9:……
No, I'm so poor I have to eat stones, and you're still trying to steal my stones?
Shen Yi pretended not to see it and struck a pose like a thinker.
not enough!
Kabuto is adequate as a regular combat force supplement, but his stats are far from sufficient when facing the true powerhouses of the Stromak family.
He sat back in his chair and leaned back. Although the combat power data of former President Boka Jardak had never been made public, if we take the Amazing Gab as the minimum reference, then he would need at least 8.8 tons of punching power and 9.0 tons of kicking power.
His strongest armor right now, the Peerless Heavenly Dragon, only has a punching power of just over 3 tons.
Even with the addition of the stunning Valen from Trip, Bram from Sea Moon 9, and even having Saki unleash Cake King form, the chances of a head-on confrontation with the President are still extremely slim.
As for Grandmaster Gabu, who's practically rolling around on the ground like everyone else in the area—let's just forget about him.
We need to get even stronger materials!
"Haiyue 9, it seems the heavy responsibility of saving the human world will have to be entrusted to you."
Shen Yi stood up and solemnly patted Haiyue 9 on the shoulder.
Haiyue 9:……
I'm a sugar man, what the hell do I care about the human world!
"Ahem, don't worry, I'll take care of your meals from now on."
Based on the principle that raising one Kabuto is the same as raising two Sugar People, Shen Yi waved his hand, indicating that he had plenty of money: "By the way, do you guys eat diamonds?"
Shen Yi pondered, if the Sugar People can even eat gemstones, then wouldn't diamonds be an unparalleled delicacy in their mouths?
What? You say diamonds are too expensive?
Wild diamonds are more valuable, but humans have long since mastered the technology to synthesize diamonds, and anyway, Haiyue 9 doesn't need to eat wild ones.
"Diamonds, what are those?"
Haiyue9 stated that she has only ever eaten stones from the riverbanks in the human world.
"Hmm, it's a very solid stone. Never mind, I'll call Bandou and have him go shopping with you. If you want to buy anything, I'll reimburse you."
Shen Yi waved his hand again, indicating that he was not short of money: "By the way, while you're shopping, you can also visit these places."
He snapped his fingers, and a map was instantly teleported to Haiyue9's metal bracelet.
While he was busy with scientific research these past few days, the Red Queen was not idle. Although the island nation's public surveillance system was pitifully sparse, as a super artificial intelligence, the Red Queen could completely fill the surveillance blind spots by comparing across databases. For example, by cross-comparing the time and place when someone disappeared in the surveillance footage with changes in other surrounding data, it could quickly identify suspicious disappearances.
In this world, behind every disappearance, there's most likely a sugar man temporary worker.
