Chapter 232: SkyLine Hotel
Tyrion's body faded, drifting along the wind like an odorless smoke, drawing a long two meters blur that moved backward away from his original position.

The blur elongated towards a building nearby and then eventually faded, the second point of the blur revealing Tyrion's true body. Before the blade could pass through him, he had activated Phantom step at the last minute, but the strain it placed on his body was massive!
His expression currently was extremely dark. He had ten times the sense of an ordinary Super Soldier, but was still unable to sense the strange beast even at that close distance. If it weren't for his incredible sense of danger, he wouldn't have been able to escape the sneak attack!
...
"Just what sort of beast was that?" The pores near his heart opened, forming suction forces that sucked in the surrounding 'DUST' energy.
The beast could alter its appearance, blending incredibly close to its surrounding with its camouflage. It was only an enhanced beast and its ability was already overpowered.
Tyrion couldn't imagine how strong the ability would be if the beast developed the gene to a supergene. It could stand extremely close to him and he wouldn't still be able to sense it!
This piqued Tyrion's interest. If he could transplant this supergene as his second super gene, he would be one of the deadliest assassins alive. But it was only an enhanced beast, not a true super beast. And since its height is above ten meters, it's considered to be Colossal.
"BANG!"
A loud crash echoed from outside the building, grabbing Tyrion's attention. He immediately halted the activation of his technique. At this point, his body had gained a slight amount of weight and the energy within his cells had regenerated.
Tyrion's eyes flashed, golden stars swirled within them as his devil gene activated. Suddenly, the sky seem to darken and the wind swirled, forming a tornado.
"Rumble!!!"
Blinding lightning flashed in the sky and the air hummed, rippling intensely as a single peal of dark thunderclap ripped through the fabric of space, slamming explosively into the three-storey building Tyrion was in.
The force instantly shattered the entire building and everything within a hundred-meter radius was wiped out. The shockwave blasting everything and anything into smithereens. Dust rose into the sky like clouds, covering everything within a thousand meters in a heavy dust fog!
"Roooar!!!" Soundwaves rippled from his mouth as Tyrion felt his body grimes in mid-air with the consumption of nuclear energy.
His body inflated rapidly as his cells massively produced billions of cells that expanded rapidly like a balloon
In the blink of an eye, Tyrion's body formed and expanded swiftly until he became a ten meters tall abomination. Crazy muscles and tissue bulging out like the statue of a dignified greek God!
Tyrion didn't stop to examine his streamlined muscles nor did he admire the destruction of his transformation. The instant he morphed, he stomped his feet heavily to the ground and in that instant, the land within half of a half-kilometer radius shattered and the surrounding stores, houses, and skyscrapers collapsed like dominoes!
"KA-BOOM!!!"
The atmosphere imploded and a massive figure flew backward like a broken kite, felling several side road trees and crushing abandoned vehicles before slamming into a nearby skyscraper. The shockwaves instantly shattered the glass windowed 50 stories high.
Tyrion's white hair swing along with the wind as every step of his created a deep imprint on the ground that shook the surroundings.
With another loud thud, he bounced off the ground like an elastic ball, leaping the distance of over a hundred meters. He was about to land when he held his fist together and hammered downward at the recovering Colossal.
"KABOOM!!!"
Like the wind creating a tidal wave in an ocean, the earth quaked violently! The land shattered as it moved like waves and in that instant, the skyscraper rapidly crumbled like a scattered pieces of a puzzle. Fragments of concrete shot out like bullets in all directions. Metal dust and sand rose to the sky, creating a brownish cloud that enveloped the radius of a kilometer.
It took a while for the dust to settle, unmasking the change in terrain and the current situation. Tyrion's massive figure stood above a gigantic hole that buried another massive figure within.
The head of the colossal had been smashed in, bleeding profusely with dark red blood. The body of the beast wriggled from reflex, blinking inconsistently, sometimes turning invincible and sometimes coming back into being.
A grunt of dissatisfaction escaped Tyrion's lips, releasing hot steam of evaporated gas into the air. He had expected a long and satisfying fight and was even prepared to release a few of his techniques in the battle. But he didn't think the dimensional beast would be this weak. Not able to withstand one of his punches.
With a harrumph, his hands tore into the belly of the beast as he searched through the corpse for something. First, he removed the 100cm, wide heart. Blood spurted out on his body like a tap. Tyrion tossed it aside as this wasn't what he was looking for. Undoubtedly, this heart is worth thousands of death points if sold to the academy.
But Tyrion proceed to ignore it as it would only take up more of his space.
The most valuable part of a Colossal is its Supergene but this beast was only an enhanced beast, therefore, it hadn't developed its supercell yet even then, some enhanced beasts possess Mutagenic organs which is the sole reason for their ability.
Tyrion's eyes lit up and the squelching sound of his hands moving through organs stopped. He drew out his hands, bringing out a small organ shaped like a starfish with numerous connected veins that spilled out fluids from its mouth.
Quickly exiting his titan form, he placed the organ into his backpack. The cooling system of the backpack immediately activated, freezing the organ to preserve it. As for the remains of the beast, Tyrion absorbed its nuclear energy which was surprisingly much, and then turned to leave.
With his enhanced senses, he could see that he was alone for the entire kilometer radius, but the feeling of being watched didn't seize his heart.
"Might be a supervisor from the alliance," Tyrion mumbled softly, walking down the ruined street with his backpack in hqnd. The night was coming and it was the most dangerous part of the day. Therefore, it was better to find a place to settle down for the night.
Inspecting the leaderboard, he noticed his position was surprisingly No 11 which is below the top ten.
He was baffled! Considering the fact that he just battled and eliminated seven titans and an Enhanced Colossal, he should have been at the top 3. Surprisingly, there were ten people who had done better than him within this short period.
Seven regular titans and a single Enhanced mutated beast earned him 120 points. It was nothing impressive, but considering the fact that he had landed not too long ago, made all the difference.
Yet, his position on the leader board wasn't at all at the top 10 but the 11th on the leader board. At this second, his position dropped to 12th and in the next five minutes, he had dropped to 23th on the leader board.
Tyrion's face remained impassive. While the leaderboard might be very important, he wasn't in a hurry to dominate it since he had just gotten here. He needed to set camp first and then familiarize himself with this part of the city before deciding on his next course of action.
He stopped dead in his tracks and raised his head with glittering eyes. "Skycloud Line Hotel."
Like most of the buildings in this area, half of the five-star had been destroyed, leaving only a bit of the lower part of the hotel. Since it was a five-star hotel, the rooms would certainly be luxurious.
"Bang!"
The vehicle blocking his way was forcefully kicked aside. It skidded out of the way, drawing two dark lines on the asphalt due to wear and tear from friction. Tyrion proceeded to enter into the half hotel, ignoring the sickening smell of blood mixed with spewed-out intestinal organs, he walked straight past the counter and headed towards the elevator.
The electromagnetic elevator descended and opened up with a chime. The floor above the 12th floor had been destroyed, making them unavailable in the elevator selection menu. Therefore, he selected the sixth floor.
It wasn't unnatural for such a large building to still have power despite the destruction of the city and half the building as it possesses its own underground reusable power system.
He had to admit, this was probably the most luxurious building he had ever entered in his entire life. Just the statues in the passageway were plated with pure gold and the tiles seem to be made of Tri-tech tile as it transfers warm and comfortable waves of energy to the feet. The paintings on the walls seem to be very valuable and also ancient!
