NOVEL WEB Chapter 4: Chapter 4: The Path of Evolution
Ye Feng stood in the ruins, his breathing steady, his body pulsing with newfound strength. The rat's remains had vanished, absorbed completely by the Devourer System.
➤ [Physical Enhancement: +5 Strength, +3 Agility]
➤ [New Ability Acquired: Enhanced Reflexes]
➤ [Body Evolution: Genetic Awakening (1%)]
He clenched his fist, feeling the raw power coursing through his veins. His weak body, once frail and malnourished, now felt lighter, stronger, faster.
"I really absorbed it…" He muttered in disbelief.
But there was no time to waste.
A new notification appeared before him.
➤ [System Notification: Evolutionary Path Detected]
The Devourer System offers multiple paths of power. Choose your primary route of evolution:
1️⃣ [Genetic Warrior] – Strengthen your physical body through constant absorption.
2️⃣ [Energy Cultivator] – Devour cosmic energy and elemental forces to evolve.
3️⃣ [Void Predator] – Absorb dimensions and devour the very fabric of space.
Ye Feng's heart pounded. This decision would shape his future.
Each path had its advantages.
The Genetic Warrior would make him physically unstoppable.
The Energy Cultivator would grant him mastery over cosmic forces.
The Void Predator… the name alone sent shivers down his spine. It sounded monstrous.
He took a deep breath.
Why choose just one?
"System, can I evolve in all three paths?"
➤ [Response: Evolution in multiple paths is possible but requires immense energy. Proceeding may make growth slower in the early stages but will lead to unlimited potential.]
Ye Feng's lips curled into a smile. "Then I choose all three."
➤ [Evolutionary Path Selected: Omni-Devourer]
➤ [Warning: This path has never been taken before. Unknown potential detected.]
A sudden wave of power surged through his body. His cells burned, his muscles trembled, and his vision blurred. It felt as if something deep inside him had awakened.
➤ [Omni-Devourer Path Activated]
➤ [Genetic Awakening: 5%]
➤ [New Passive Ability Unlocked: Adaptive Evolution]
Ye Feng collapsed to one knee, gasping for air.
His body was changing.
Muscles became denser, bones reinforced, his skin tougher. His mind felt sharper—as if he could sense every movement in the air.
This… This was only 5%?!
He gritted his teeth and pushed himself to stand. His hunger for power was only growing.
"I need more."
If one weak beast could give him this much power… then what would happen if he devoured stronger creatures?
His eyes burned with determination.
This ruined city was crawling with mutant beasts, rogue cyborgs, and ancient relics. He would devour them all.
And when he was ready… he would step beyond Earth and consume the stars themselves.
