Chapter 1027 Gluttony\'s Weakness

　　"You\'ve gotta be kidding me…"

　　Drake quickly analyzed things out while feeling slight disbelief outside. Although he always acted rather surprised of everything, deep within his mind, he was always calculating and seeing through things, thinking what to do. This challenge might be greater than he had expected beforehand.

　　A smile surged on Greenwood\'s lips. Although his communication with Drake and Gluttony was cut off as his facility was completely demolished into pieces, he knew what was happening.

　　He looked into the files he had stored into his database about the aberration, Code Name: G.L.U.T.T.O.N.Y.

　　"First found seven years ago. This aberration seems to have been originally a human, or perhaps it never was and simply took the body of one. A single thing is certain about this entity, it lacks a body of its own, and constantly devours anything it can find that can reinforce its body structure in some way or the other. High adaptable, it will seek power when it is outmatched, and do everything it can to triumph over a foe which it will later devour. It has a strong sense of competitiveness, and always seeks stronger things to devour and assimilate. It possess a Unique Skill named [Gluttony] which allows for the self-assimilation of anything the user devours that was formerly alive. Normal vegetation seems to be out of the question, however. It weakens over time by losing mass, until it is possible to restrain it…"

　　"There has been 163 attempts at destroying it or killing it, all ended in utter failure. There had been 58 attempts at taking away its soul, all of them have failed. And there had been 23 attempts at stealing its Unique Skill, they all failed. Every clone that tried to steal its Unique Skill using the Unique Skill: [Steal] was devoured through a strange method [Gluttony] has, whatever that dares try to steal away the power of its user is devoured back, almost like a Counter Attack. There is no apparent way to defeat it, only restraint it. Even the smallest cell that has survived can begin multiplying with ease and regain mass in a split of a second, if it has something to devour, it will assimilate it and recreate it as long as it has mass…"

　　"However, it doesn\'t have endless energy, to recreate the things it has devoured, it needs a lot of delicious energy and calories to function. Highly nutritional monster meat is its favorite, but clones and discarded empty shells from unique skill users are better to keep it weak. Its own glaring weakness is the inability to control multiple bodies at the same time. Unless one of such bodies is restrained, incapacitated, or completely decimated into ashes, it wont be able to properly control other pieces of itself."

　　"After all, this was what allowed me to capture him. I\'ll capture him later after Heaven Port is gone. Throwing a Magic Nuke should suffice to decimate it into a small form and quickly capture him back…" Greenwood smiled, imagining the worst for Drake.

　　"If it even happens to devour the meat of a dragon god… I wonder how strong it would truly become…"

　　(Drake\'s POV)

　　This monster was certainly something.

　　I had fought many foes through my life as a dragon.

　　However, nothing like this.

　　I remember some tough ones, some that really made me go mad.

　　I remember Ragnarök for example, that monster was really… overpowering to the core. And it was just a fragment at that.

　　However, this thing…

　　What Greenwood calls "Gluttony".

　　It is beyond what I could had thought.

　　Somehow, it is similar to me.

　　It can devour things, assimilate them, and regain mass, which it uses to reform and shapeshift into other shapes.

　　However, it seems way more vicious than me in its ways of shapeshifting and is probably superior in the whole eat and assimilate part.

　　It is a tough nut to crack.

　　I unleashed three Ultimate Attacks and this thing is still alive.

　　It was completely decimated, but it managed to survive through the spikes it threw at me.

　　How would I had been able to guess this bastard could pierce through my scales?

　　It purposedly bended this side of my shoulder and arms so the scales would weaken over countless blows, and then pierce them through its spikes carrying the flesh of its body.

　　Like this, it began to devour my arm from the inside out and took over it.

　　I sliced it desperately, and here we are.

　　Luckily for me, I am not being infected anymore, as I sliced my arm fast enough.

　　Against all my expectations, this is already round 4, and this thing is now surprising me with a mimicry of my own appearance, but completely twisted, taking the appearance of the ants it ate as well.

　　"You\'ve gotta be kidding me…"

　　"ROOOARRRR!"

　　A worm-like dragon-ant hybrid monster with hundreds of ant legs, dragon scales, black exoskeleton, venomous spikes, long tongue-tentacles, and a sharp tail emerged. It ate a single arm yet it gained enormous power, a slight amount of divine power is already beginning to surge from within it and its multiplying.

　　I have to take things pragmatically though. By using my soul and my mind thinking speed, it feels as if my surroundings are going at slow motion.

　　Think…

　　Think!

　　I have to think of something.

　　I…

　　Wait a second.

　　It has a glaring weakness I had not realized until now.

　　If it is so powerful, why is it not self-dividing into many mobs to devour me entirely?

　　It is something I would do in his situation.

　　He seems very sketchy and cunning already, so why play so fair with me at 1v1?

　　Yeah, he can\'t control more than one "mass" or "body".

　　Other segmented bodies go into stupor, and probably can\'t do a thing by themselves, this means that it has to keep itself unified as one, small bits of flesh here and there are not possible, it would be westing precious energy.

　　And another thing, another weakness it possess…

　　It\'s mass!
