Chapter 32
Gulp-
As Levitan devoured the genetic sphere, an overwhelming power surged through her body, sending shivers down her spine. This was a force unlike anything she had felt before—not even when she was still a beastperson or during her rampage when she became Leviathan.
Didn’t she recall Eight saying it was a gene extracted from her own body? If that were true, then the strength she gained from consuming it should logically be weaker than what she originally had… Yet surprisingly, the power granted by this genetic sphere surpassed her original capabilities.
Is it really possible for a byproduct to outshine the original? Levitan glanced at Eight, her expression a mix of confusion and curiosity.
“Eh-Eight? I definitely don’t recall shooting beams from my eyes before… How did this happen?”
“I mentioned I made a few modifications, didn’t I?”
“Modifications?”
“Yes! The gene you had—basically, Leviathan’s gene—can be summarized as ‘the ultimate beastperson you imagined!’”
Is that how it works…? Levitan couldn’t quite resonate with that idea, but she nodded along anyway. It wasn’t uncommon for the sensibilities of scientists to be vastly different from hers.
