[Apocalypse + ability evolution + monster transformation + core crystal devouring + global livestream]
**While everyone else awakens powers, I turn straight into a Ruin Beast. Every core crystal I devour gives me another monster form!**
Zhang Chengyue was just an ordinary F-rank trooper in the Kunlun War Zone.
To cover the evacuation of twenty-three children, he used his body to hold a Ruin Beast’s jaws shut, pulled the pin on a grenade, and prepared to die alongside the monster.
But when he woke up again, he had become the first person in human history to fully fuse with a Ruin Beast core crystal.
Silver-white claws, an exoskeleton, a tail spear, lightning-fast hunting...
Even more outrageous, as long as he keeps absorbing other Ruin Beast core crystals, he can gain new Ruin Beast forms.
Not fast enough?
Switch to silver-white hunter form.
Not tough enough?
Switch to heavy-armored fortress form.
And later, there’ll be a third, a fourth, a tenth...
There’s just one problem:
Every time he transforms into a Ruin Beast, he moves one step farther away from being “human.”
The Military Science Institute points its guns at him.
His comrades can’t believe he’s still Zhang Chengyue.
The global livestream chat explodes.
[Holy crap, people can turn into Ruin Beasts?!]
[Is this guy an Awakened or the final boss?]
[Wait... why are those Ruin Beasts afraid of him?]
Until the beast tide tears through the defenses and every Awakened is driven back.
The silver-white monster, feared by humanity and dreaded by the Ruin Beasts, stands alone at the very front.
Only later does the whole world finally realize:
**Humanity’s strongest Awakened might not be human at all.**
It's a bit slow to pick up, but the world view that unfolds later is still very complete, and there are all kinds of foreshadowings. This article is very slow to pick up on Tomato. The opening chapter is good but it doesn't fit the rhythm of Tomato. The plot unfolds later. The battle scenes are well written and have a strong visual sense.
