Ultimate Being from the Tokonosu City

Chapter 25: Messiah

"Fuhh...." 

Isao let out a comforting sigh when he sunk himself into the bathtub filled with warm water. Saya didn't break her promise and let him have a single room with an inside bathroom, giving him a chance to have a luxurious relaxation. 

Yet, how long could this type of luxury continue?

In this type of environment, there was no doubt that those we thought as granted would disappear shortly. 

Food was one thing, but more importantly, electricity and water might disappear soon. 

Water aside, as this country had abundant water resources, electricity was rather troublesome, considering how this country lacked so many resources. Whether it was gas, oil, coal, uranium, or others that were used as a source of electricity was rarely found in this country. 

If they want a stable source of electricity, the only renewable energy sources are hydropower, wind power, solar power, geothermal, and tidal energy. 

Nevertheless, hydropower and geothermal aside, wind power, solar power, and others were troublesome since it was still 2006, and renewable energy wasn't popular at this time. 

"Let's not worry about this." 

Isao was sure that he wasn't the only one who would worry about this problem, so there was no need for him to worry about those things. Instead, he should focus on this system, thinking that he should become the strongest being. 

Yet, for him, who could control humans, those "things," and other creatures as long as he absorbed them into his body, and who could fight him?

Isao was as good as invincible in this world. 

'In this world...' 

Isao opened his system and looked at his status on the hologram screen that appeared before him. This was one of the functions of the system, and he was also the only one who could see this screen, which made it convenient. The function of this screen was to check all the records of every DNA that he had absorbed and replicated on his body. He could also check the situation of his body, and at the same time, he realized that he could control the DNA inside his body to erase all the illnesses, injuries, discomforts, and others within his DNA, making him healthy all the time. 

In other words, he could manipulate his body as he wished. 

A single ability that enabled him to absorb (replicate) the DNA of others into his body also led to different abilities. 

At that moment, he knew of two abilities. 

The first one was one that he had always said: to absorb or replicate the DNA of others into his body, gaining the abilities, experiences, knowledge, traits, talents, physical abilities, and everything else of those whom he had absorbed or replicated.

This was his core ability, and it was something that he had developed even further.

The second ability was to manipulate all the beings, which DNAs he had recorded within his body. This was his second ability, a branch ability that came from his core ability. 

Isao knew that this ability, especially when he had absorbed the human into his body earlier, had made him into an invincible being. If he wished to, he could replicate all the hentai plots in history, as no one could fight this ability of his unless... that person had a strong will or ability. 

Yet, in this world where everyone was a normal human, was there anyone who could fight his control?

Still, was it possible for a new type of human, such as someone with a supernatural ability, to appear?

Or, was it possible for him to go to another world? 

Nevertheless, Isao couldn't confirm this, and even if he could, he would stay on the corner, living in a low-key manner. He might have often become the leader of the group, but he had never liked to be in a position where he attracted the attention of many unless he had to, especially when his appearance had already easily attracted the attention of many.

Moreover, attracting the gazes of many was troublesome as it didn't give him a chance to live peacefully. 

Still, those two were his abilities, but then, Isao felt like he could develop the third ability, which was an ability that allowed him to bestow an ability into the DNA of others. 

If he gave an example, he could change someone's DNA and give them the wings of a fly, which he recorded inside his body. Naturally, this wasn't the only thing that he could bestow. As long as some traits, talents, knowledge, or other things were recorded within his record, he could imprint them into the DNA of others, bestowing them an ability that they couldn't imagine. 

Naturally, those he had bestowed an ability would follow his order naturally as they had received his power, and with his manipulation control ability, this should be something that he could do as naturally as he breathed. 

While Isao hadn't confirmed it, he felt that should be possible. 

With that, he knew that he had three abilities, and all of them had turned him into the strongest being in this world. 

So, what was his plan after this?

Unlike Saya's parents, who had lofty aspirations to save as many people as possible, Isao didn't have the aspiration to do so. He might have decided to become a good guy, but as expected, his age limited him to do many things. 

Isao was just a high school student, and while he could control other students, it was different for the adults, who would think of him as lacking ability and experience. 

After all, the qualification of a normal person to be able to order others in this country was age. 

As long as you are older, you will be respected and treated as a master. 

However, Isao was just a high school student, so it was impossible for him to be respected and treated as a master.

If Isao wanted to break that social norm, he had to either have powerful parents, a group, or money, but unfortunately, he had nothing at this moment, so instead of wasting his time, he might as well help the world in a different way such as becoming an ultimate being, so there was no need for them to fear about those "things" that haunted this world. 

So what is he planning to do?

Messiah. 

This was probably the role that he had to take. 

Jokes aside, Isao knew that he had to become stronger and smarter. He needed to record important knowledge so that even if many people with knowledge died, he could push society forward. 

At the same time, Isao knew after he absorbed those "things" inside his body, those "things" wouldn't decay and would continue to live forever unless one smashed their heads or killed them in a different way, such as burning them. 

In a world where those "things" would continue to live forever, one had to lead everyone to live differently than they originally did. 

Considering his age, Isao couldn't do it now and didn't have any will to do so. At the same time, he was sure he wasn't the only one thinking such a lofty idea, so there was no need to force himself to be the "one." 

Moreover, when two ideas or more were met, they would clash, and a conflict would arise. 

Isao didn't want to have a conflict, so he might as well travel to Hokkaido with Kyoko. Moreover, he wanted to get his hands on the DNA of crustacean-type animals since their skin seemed tough enough to protect him. 

Isao had made up his mind and was thinking of getting rest, but suddenly, the door of his room was knocked on. He smiled, thinking that Kyoko was coming. When he excitedly came to the door, he thought his teacher was scared to sleep at night, so as a good student, he thought he would help her sleep. 

Even if this wasn't Kyoko, then it was probably Miku.

Either way, he knew that as someone who aspired to become a good person, he had a task to comfort them from this frightening night. 

Yet, what he didn't expect, the one who knocked on his door was—
