Arknights, the new kid Kevin no longer has to save the world

"Or to put it another way, is there a limit to your 'evolution'?"

Kevin stepped forward step by step. The thick slurry and unknown biological tissue were turning into ice at an extremely fast speed, and were then crushed to pieces by the ruthless combat boots.

Looking at the creature "kneeling" in front of him, even though its organs called "legs" have long since degenerated, there is no essential difference in its posture.

"We can try."

The sphere in his hand spun and emitted a burst of purple light.

Mimic·Star of Eden, the first rated power.

Sonata of pathos.

2 The unit of biological evolution is the population

There are no perfect creatures in the world.

Kevin believes this.

"Our 'prey' seems to have been snatched away by that little brother."

The ghost shark licked his lips, and some of the ferocious connotations in his eyes after waking up were much reduced.

"That heir, is he still moving?"

The other party stopped too suddenly, like an enlarged version of a dump truck that was stopped abruptly.

Skadi opened his mouth, but remembering the huge waves that had been calmed down on the sea before, he suddenly felt that it was so reasonable for the deep-sea bishop to be suppressed.

"Is it gravity?"

Gladia said something in surprise.

As the Technarch of Argor, her knowledge is far beyond that of her two companions.

Agor's cutting-edge technology basically has no secrets in front of her, and she even participates in the design and manufacturing of part of it.

The application of gravity and anti-gravity technology was one of Agor's cutting-edge topics at the time.

Even with the joint efforts of many researchers, an artificial gravity device was actually developed.

But even though Agor devoted so many resources to this project.

What you get is just a set of "prototypes" that cannot leave the laboratory.

If you read it correctly, the other party controls gravity by relying on the small bead on his hand? !

It is lightweight and stable, and even completely exceeds the Agor people's original idea of ​​using gravity weapons.

"&(&...@￥&￥!"

Under the pressure of the huge gravity, Quintus once did not even have the strength to scream miserably, and he was dying as if he would die at any time.

"interesting."

But from Kevin's perspective, the situation is completely different.

Under the pressure of gravity, the heirloom cells under the opponent's skin seemed to be

Totally activated general.

Constantly secreting a crystalline substance to strengthen the muscle tissue that is constantly collapsing under the gravity of the Star of Eden.

The stronger the pressure, the faster the secretion, as if it is competing with the external environment.

"you are at?"

The ghost shark came to the depths of Kevin with great interest. Quintus' miserable howl made her feel very comfortable, but she didn't feel much joy in her successful revenge.

"Do an experiment."

He drives the Star of Eden and adjusts the gravity upward little by little.

The confrontation between the body and gravity becomes more and more tit-for-tat!

Gravity became more and more intense, and the heirloom cells in Quintus' body began to operate overload. Under the attack of internal and external pain, Quintus felt that his degraded human vocal cords were about to grow back. .

The painful screams continued, making it sound as if the entire cave was about to be overturned.

But the ghost shark looked happy.

"Can I play?"

She showed a rare expression of interest, like a little girl who had found a toy she liked.

"You can't control it."

He shook his head. The experiment required careful operation, especially since he did not believe that the sea heir was an "infinitely" adaptable creature.

Even Mebius couldn't do something. Kevin didn't think he would see a miracle in a "fish" that grew randomly today.

"Okay, it's good to just listen to it like this."

She didn't force it, she just narrowed her eyes in intoxication, as if listening to a moving piece of music.

When the Church of the Deep Sea poured liquid Originium into her bone marrow, the pain would be no less than that of Quintus.

"Has your technology developed to this extent?"

Gladia stepped on sharp hunter boots.

"No, I'm just an exception."

Her worries were completely unnecessary, and Kevin's words made the consul feel relieved.

Click!Click!Click!

The experiment is still continuing, and with the adaptation process, Quintus's modified body has exploded with amazing potential.

But its potential is limited after all. The excessively transformed heirloom cells wither and stagnate at an alarming rate——

This also means that death is approaching!

"Impossible! It's impossible for me to die!"

The moment this thought came to mind, Quintus broke away for a moment driven by fear and even suppressed by gravity.

The huge mountain of meat shook for a moment, and then was pressed back without any suspense.

"Is it the limit?"

Kevin was not moved by the flashback behavior.

"Your kin are coming here...but not fast enough. Likewise, your evolution is the same."

Kevin overestimated the upper limit of evolution of creatures like Haihe, or in other words, the upper limit of evolution of one of the individuals.

So much so that in his surprise at discovering this species, he forgot a very important theory.

The unit of biological evolution is—population!

The Star of Eden lit up, and the gravity suddenly increased several times.

Puffs of blood burst out from under the overwhelmed chitin shell, those blue tentacles burst, and the "meat mountain" collapsed.

"Brother, can you let me kill it with my own hands?"

The ghost shark didn't dare to just lean in. She just heard what the second captain was saying.

Although I don’t know how exaggerated the gravity in that area is, I think it will be uncomfortable.

"..."

Kevin looked at the position of her back, pondered for a moment, and finally used the Star of Eden to crush the remaining offensive organs on Quintus' body and then took it back.

"Thank you brother."

The ghost shark saw his movements, carried the circular saw on his shoulder, and walked towards Quintus, the heir to the sea, who was breathed out by Kevin on the ground.

The smile on his face is undisguised, like a fisherman catching a good harvest in the sea.

"I'm alive...?"

Nutrients were being lost, and Quintus' broken body felt as if countless small openings had been opened in it.

At least it's alive... As long as its compatriots arrive, it will regain its nutrients and return to its original state.

It thinks so.

At the top of the corolla, the organ barely above the eyes opened a small slit with difficulty.

But what caught his eye was not the deep and moist cave, nor was it the man standing there looking invincible.

For Quintus, the ghost shark's big smiling face is far more terrifying than the two listed above.

"Still alive?"

She didn't mind the blood of Heir on the petals, so she grabbed a bone petal with her bare hands and picked up the huge eyeball.

The smile is like an old friend reminiscing about the past.

"&#...&￥@..."

She cupped her clean left hand into a trumpet shape and put it next to her ear, as if she wanted to hear what it said in this way.

"But I don't understand what you're saying. Let's change it to a more common language, shall we?"

As soon as she let go, the lifted eyeball hit the puddle again.

Quintus watched with splitting eyes, a hunter's boot with a peak constantly enlarging in his eyes.

Pah!

It's the sound of exploding pulp.

Even her two teammates couldn't help but blink.

The Ghost Shark's methods are already on par with Phantom Pain.

The last bit of nourishment in Quintus's body was forcefully forced into his vocal organ through her means.

dark

In the cave, the continuous howls and occasional chuckles made people shudder.

Chapter 2 The Nature of Evolution

Whoa!

A handful of clean water was splashed on the face.

A few drops of muddy water mixed with Heirloom's blood fell, revealing Laurentina's clean and pure face.

"This is the first time I've seen you wash your face after hunting."

Skadi held his big sword and said boredly.

"It's not just us, let's go."

Picking up the circular saw, the two came to the front of the church, where two tall figures were chatting, obviously they had been waiting for a long time.

"...Can you reverse alienation?"

Gladia wandered around in the discussion for a long time before finally reaching the point that concerned her the most.

"?"

"Maybe I didn't express it clearly enough."

Gladia pulled open the collar on her shoulder, exposing her fair and beautiful shoulders to the air.

But no one appreciates such a beautiful scenery, just because there are a few gray-blue scales growing on the shoulders, like a piece of flawless jade with dazzling spots, which looks extremely dazzling.

Light cyan meridians connected those scales, and she couldn't even peel them off, which was meaningless.

"I see, it seems your symptoms are serious."

Since the other party knew it, it must have been illuminated by the previous lantern.

Is there no way to solve the problem at once?

"Thanks to you, it has already spread to my face."

Gladia finished rearranging her collar and rubbed her face with one hand, where scales were still growing a few hours ago.

"Ugly" didn't even dare to look in the mirror before. She didn't want to turn herself into a beast. In that dark trench, they couldn't even sing.

Agor has means of relief, but they only delay the process of becoming a monster.
