Dawn of a New Era

Chapter 287: Giant Battle Body


Chen Shouyi searched the World Tree carefully again before he reluctantly gave up.

He vaguely felt that this divine creature and the Tree God were vastly different. It had hardly any Power of Faith accumulated, not even one-thousandth of the Tree God's. Judging by the illusions of the remaining Power of Faith, it seemed this creature had never deliberately pursued faith. Its lifestyle was more akin to that of a wild beast.

What puzzled Chen Shouyi was that such a creature possessed divinity.

Could it be innate?

Perhaps the offspring of some powerful creature!

...

Chen Shouyi exited the Book of Knowledge Space and eagerly opened the attribute panel. His gaze quickly swept over the unchanged attributes, finally settling on the sub-option for talent abilities.

Sure enough, it had formed.

A hint of excitement flashed across his face.

In addition to Natural Healing and Air Control (Intermediate), he now had a new ability.

"Giant Battle Body (Intermediate)"

The Giant Battle Body is easy to understand.

It should be a talent that allows one to grow larger.

The fierce beast earlier seemed to have used this ability.

"I just wonder how to activate it?"

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, countless Original Forces around him seemed to be drawn, converging here en masse. His heart throbbed, pounding uncontrollably...

Startled, Chen Shouyi hurriedly stopped his thoughts.

Just in time, the anomaly in his body gradually subsided, and he let out a sigh of relief.

His heart was still pounding: "That was close!

Almost burst through my clothes again.

I'll find a secluded corner and experiment later."

He stood up, dusted his rear, and walked towards the crowd.

...

Following this, the reservoir remained calm without encountering any considerable danger.

Cement spraying trucks, one after another, sprayed cement onto the bottom of the reservoir, and around sundown, the concrete had gradually formed a small island approximately ten meters in diameter at the bottom.

After having dinner on the embankment and seeing no immediate danger, Chen Shouyi proposed to Bai Xiaoling to head home temporarily.

On one hand, to inform his parents that he wouldn't be home tonight. On the other, the pitiful Shell Lady was still waiting to be fed at home. Most importantly, he was itchingly eager to test out his new talent ability.

He had been preoccupied with it the entire afternoon!

Upon hearing, Bai Xiaoling immediately went to report.

Soon, Director Gao came over with quick steps, followed by Bai Xiaoling:

"Thank you for your great assistance, General Manager Chen. You want to go back temporarily? Of course, no problem! But when will you be back? We literally can't do without you here!"

To be honest, facing such a fearsome powerhouse made him a bit apprehensive, and he spoke with careful consideration.

This was someone who had one-shotted a monster impervious to even machine guns; if he was displeased and left for good, they'd really have no solutions.

Chen Shouyi glanced at his watch: "I'll be back before seven."

"All right, we have a car at the camp. I'll have someone drive you back." Director Gao said, a bit uneasy.

...

After disinfection procedures at the checkpoint, the troop carrier sped on.

After about ten minutes, the vehicle stopped at the doorstep.

By this time, dusk was settling in.

He took off his protective suit and walked into the living room, finding that dinner had just been prepared at home.

"Why so late?" Mrs. Chen put down her bowl and chopsticks, asking.

Seeing Chen Shouyi's return, a heavy weight seemed to lift off his parents, who had been quite worried.

"Been busy, and have to head out again tonight. Probably won't be back for the next few days. I came just to let you know." Chen Shouyi said.

"Did you eat?" Mrs. Chen asked.

"I did, let me take a shower and change first." He quickly went to his bedroom and shut the door.

"Oh, Giant, you're back." Hearing the familiar footsteps, the Shell Lady swiftly darted out and jumped down from the bed, running over joyfully.

What a little rascal.

"Hungry?" Chen Shouyi asked with a smile.

"Hungry, very hungry!" the Shell Lady nodded.

He opened a jar of honey and scooped out half a spoonful, diluting it with warm water: "Eat up!"

The Shell Lady leapt onto the table, stuck her tiny bottom out, and began sipping the honey.

Chen Shouyi could no longer contain himself.

He quickly undressed.

His eyes shone with excited light.

In his mind:

Transform!

The next moment, as his thoughts flickered, Original Forces quickly converged towards him, woven into an extraordinary energy circulating within him. His heart beat thunderously like a drum, and his body began to stretch and expand in an incomprehensible manner. His bones rapidly thickened and lengthened, muscles became massive and dense, and his skin thicker and coarser…

As a tingling ache spread throughout his body, he grew taller and bulkier.

"Crash…"

A second later, his head hit the crystal chandelier, and glass shattered, raining countless fragments down.

Before they landed, Chen Shouyi's will converged, and all the glass suspended mid-air, then flowed like a river into the trash bin. He ducked his head and took a step back, avoiding the chandelier.

He overstretched, cracking the floor with one foot.

Terrified to move, he feared demolishing the whole room.

Hearing the commotion, Shell Lady turned and was stunned, mouth agape, murmuring, "Giant, you've grown bigger!"

After two seconds, his transformation finally halted.

Everything in the room seemed a size smaller from his perspective.

He straightened up, glancing at the ceiling, realizing it nearly reached.

Must be at least three meters high!

Even without checking attributes, he felt his whole body brimming with incredible strength.

Clenching his fist firmly, a dull "boom" sounded, air exploding, a gust whistling.

Raging, yet destructive.

Even if steel stood before him, he felt confident in crushing it.

Sadly, he couldn't thoroughly test it here, fearing a single move might collapse this house.

He opened the attribute panel.

Strength: 16.1+3.7

Agility: 15.9-0.4

Constitution: 16.4+3.6

Intelligence: 14.5

Perception: 13.8

Will: 14.8

Energy Accumulation: 1.25

Chen Shouyi noticed the attributes, seeing pluses and minuses for the first time.

But upon further reflection, this transformed attribute was temporary; his original attributes remained unchanged.

In this state, his strength increased by 3.7, about a fourfold boost. In terms of raw data, his arm strength reached 4.5 tons, and his constitution improved by 3.6, roughly equal to the strength boost.

Meanwhile, agility decreased by 0.4, a reduction of about two-tenths.

It was a trade-off, with gains and losses.

In normal state, he was agile, but in giant state, his attack was fearsome.

Given the terrifying attack boost, the slight agility loss seemed minor and negligible.

And what excited Chen Shouyi the most was the realization that this was on Earth, where Original Forces were scarce. In another world, this talent might display even more astonishing results.

Time was limited, and today he could only have a sample taste.

He quickly deactivated the ability.

As his body gradually shrank, he felt a sense of loss, alongside a slight weakness creeping in.

"This is probably the side effect!" Chen Shouyi mused.
