Chapter 707: Progress


    As a woman, the agent that slipped into Dora Mje was certainly ravishing. Smooth skin, wide h.i.p.s, and full, plump lips. In fact, Nik felt a little attracted to bald women. It was new for him and certainly exciting in certain situations but now wasn''t one of them. He had already read the woman''s mind and knew the connections of Hydra spreading far but with such a delectable subject in front of him, Nik had apletely different thought process.


    "Let''s start," there was a reason he didn''t exin what he was going to do to the woman. What he had against her personally came nowhere near his need to further his ability [Body Maniption: A+]. Even though this ability only provided Nikplete control of his body, he found an interesting method to expand the area of effect of this skill.


    "You''ll really be Orochimaru like this..." Asmodeus mumbled while Nik smirked, "As long as I don''t eye young boys, I think, I''ll be fine... probably," without waiting any longer, he snapped his fingers as the ground beneath the woman instantly shot up akin an overlyrge and sharp scalpel that cut off the woman''s limbs.


    Without any change in expression, while trying his hard to not stop and walk away, Nik crouched down and covered the wounds with life energy until the bleeding stopped but the moment he began, he had forfeited this woman''s life.


    "Even when you were just born a sleeper agent... I hope your incarnation doesn''t hold it against me..." Nik mumbled as he took the severed left arm and started fuelling life energy into the hand.


    Emerald mist covered the left arm and from the cut-off edge of the arm, flesh grew out wildly but it looked aimless. Flesh and muscle simply hung at the edge of the arm and dangled about as Nik gritted his teeth and continued.


    "Can he really do it?" Lilith inquired Sky. Out of the four spirits, even if Pure was a genuine rank 6 spirit, Asmodeus had her knowledge back, and Lilith had her Absolutely Sharpness, Sky was still revered. Several clues and instructions to Lilith and Asmodeus also made the two spirits believe that Sky knew the two of them before all of them died.


    "Well," Sky took a deep breath as she gazed at Nik from the spiritual world. Honestly, she was slightly surprised, which didn''t happen quite often. The idea to ''evolve'' Body Maniption was ingenious and the process, in theory, requires little resources and consumed less of a person''s mind.


    "To control Life Energy and use Body Maniption to change the structure of healing, dividing the parts into bones, tendons, and muscles... not to mention organs, their various functions... all of this is simply the reconstruction of the fleshy body from a severed body part. But... the problem he''ll face is to get a soul. It powers one''s body and holds consciousness together. Even if he evolves Body Maniption to an ability that genuinely affects other fleshy entities"


    "Oh my god!" Asmodeus groaned with Pure echoing another, albeit softer one, in support of the violet slime, "Can he do it or not?!"


    "Tch, I''m not gonna answer now," Sky snorted and observed Nik while Asmodeus snorted in return.


    "Ah!" Pure eximed as all of them looked at the dangling muscles moving up, bing slightly stiff as a bone grew out of the arm and fashioned into a socket.


    Nik''s eyes lit up in excitement as he continued.


    He had energy reserves ording to Lokiparable to lower gods and with the first step aplished, Nik started to slowly ''create'' an entire body out of a single arm!


    ---


    "Huff!"


    Nik looked at five bodies lying in front of him. Sweat covered his body and even he feltcking in energy, his mind, on the other hand, felt as active as before.


    Meanwhile, the five bodies looked exactly the same and Nik reckoned that the ones he created were definitely ''better'' than the one the woman was born with, however, only the one in the middle was alive while the remaining four were ''dead''.


    "What will happen if take the four bodies out? They have functioning brains and beating hearts... will they just... sit up?" Nik thought as his gaze narrowed.


    His eyes twitched for a moment and he summoned the status panel.

    ''My mental stat is alreadyparable to rank 6 in raw quantity but as Sky said earlier, any proper rank 6 with 5 limitations broken will wipe the floor with me. Hmm, and...''


    [Body Maniptor: S-


    Use: The ability to manipte any fleshy body with extreme precision and control. The user must haveplete knowledge regarding the maniption it wishes to make.]


    This evolved ability alongside [Imperfect Chimera] worked smoothly since he can finally introduce mutation to his partners'' bodies without any side effects.


    Thinking for a moment, he looked at the ''living'' agent and decided to not turn her into a rhinoceros to be bred by the two rhinoceroses she meant to blow up. After all, once he begins testing cosmic Elemental mutations, he would still need her help for more concrete research. He already had the fire and earth-like mutations in his grasp, all he needed to do was now search for more cosmic batteries to research the mutation of lightning, and other elements.


    ---


    "Nngh," Felicia felt her head booming. Like she was having a heat stroke or something. Hazy-eyed, she looked around while her gaze finally stopped at a bundle of something ck. It was ced over her foot while she was quite well tucked into the bed.


    Leaning forward and fighting against the banging of her head, she touched the ball of darkness only to realize that it was a ball of hair. A wig.


    Her wig.


    shes of image phased through her mind as she recalled having a mysterious contractor from one of the strange cults hiring her to steal an artifact from some... building. Everything felt blurry to her from thereon. However...


    ''Did I manage to steal it or not?'' She tried to remember carefully but she couldn''t recall anything no matter how hard she tried.


    Afraid that something ''untoward'' had taken ce while she was in some form of affliction, she quickly looked down her blouse and touched her crotch through her pants, and furrowed. She couldn''t feel anything strange. Fumbling around, she finally found a cellphone, and the moment she looked at the date and the time, she gasped out loud.


    She has been in this strange condition for almost 5 days now?


    An ominous feeling gripped her heart when the door to the room was softly knocked before being opened after hearing no reply.


    A youthful presence entered the room with a tray of what smelled like a scrumptious meal with a ss of orange juice.


    She didn''t like the pulp-filled orange juice but much to her momentary relief, she couldn''t actually see any pulp on its surface. After years of hatred, Felicia just got the hang of finding out pulps even through a long distance.


    "You are..." Felicia''s gaze widened as she looked at the dark-haired man with violet eyes. She had a remarkable encounter with a person of the same figure, and strangely, stunningly simr presence. He was with Ava that day when she had the contract of stealing some alien lifeform that only went berserk.


    "Nik," he smiled and ced the bed table over, "I figured that slowly recovering from mind control isn''t the most pleasing sensation in the world," he pointed out the cause of her situation quite casually, making Felicia shudder.


    "How did you know?" Inquiring in hurry and almost toppling the ss of juice, she wasforted very slightly by his words, "Try to eat something first."


    "Like hell I will," Felicia snorted. Mind control? Waking up in stranger''s house! Would she dare eat something she hadn''t prepared herself at such a sensitive time?


    *Grrr*


    Ignoring the retort of her rumbling stomach, she looked at Nik with her green eyes. An aspect that Nik noticed now.


    ''Green pupils aren''t all that rare in this world...''


    He himself knew Mj, Vertigo, Morgan, who had emerald pupils and even Felicia sported such a color of eyes, too.


    "Oh, well," Nik smiled. "Now that you''re up, you can either have your... brunch, or leave. Nobody is going to force you to stay here."


    Walking out of his room, Nik entered Mary''s room where Ang lied on the bed. Mary had left for the job and also dropped Anna off at school with Anna holding the ck and white rings which are supposed to be for Cindy and Ms. Forest (Natasha''s teacher role). Meanwhile, he had started to slowly change Ang''s physique. Since he had too much on his te today, he sensibly took another holiday from school.


    Ang''s physique was tough and durable. Her muscles were dense and her body hadn''t even reached its greatest potential. However, Nik wasn''t modifying her body so that she could achieve her full potential. He was simply enhancing her nervous system to make itparable to Taskmaster. Till now, Taskmaster''s nervous system and bodily reactions were the most optimum.


    *Knock*


    *Knock*


    Nik looked back and walked out of the room.


    "You still didn''t learn any courtesy to treat a woman, did you? Just like thest time!" Felicia mocked and looked around, slightly impressed by the apartment. Any apartment, if mostly owned by youth or at least, someone who gave the frivolous vibes, would feel like something straight out of the magazine of some Italian architecture but this apartment looked cozy. The fact that it wasn''tpletely clean but still looked pleasant to the eyes affirmed this particr insight of Felicia.


    "Last time?" Nik mused, "I was more than courteous... I killed the big guy, right?"


    Her expression changed at Nik''s words. Any person associated with Ava would not speak lightly about killing. Felicia hade across Ava several times and it was quite right to say that she was aplete stuck up.


    "I didn''t mean it like that... Just, can you tell me what happened?"


    "Even I don''t know theplete story," Nik shrugged before looking back into the room.


    "Listen, I''m busy at the moment so, if you want to stick around and then chatter, sure. Give me thirty minutes. And, if you''re feeling a little woozy for not bathing for some time then here," A golden wisp instantly washed over Felicia as she felt...


    Well, free.


    She had been feeling an urgent task herself but now...


    ''Does he know that...'' Felicia''s thoughts triggered and she looked at Nik with a surprised expression but all she found was a door closing on her face.


    Meanwhile, Nik finally began modifying Ang slightly.


    To not overestimate his own capabilities, he used Ang''s model already analyzed by L andpared the results of each tweak right then and there so no hidden problem could escape their observation.


    While Ang was simply upgraded in her unconsciousness, Nik''s ability to manipte other bodies grew by leaps and bounds. After all, that agent was a simple human, however, Ang was apletely different situation.


    The fact that she looked this slim and weighed almost 220 kg was a testament to the fact.
