Villain With The Strongest System

Chapter 90: Rewards (1)



( The snake-men ancestral chamber, the rewards room )

After Rocky was knocked out cold, Nubi in her hall god form carried Rocky to the rewards room where she placed him on an intricately carved mana table and connected various ancient devices to every major nerve in his body.

"A pure blooded human…. What a lucky boy, what ridiculous odds for him to be pure even after the tower has been on his planet for thousands of years" Nubi murmured to herself as she began the process of unlocking Rocky's latent DNA potential.

Rocky was a pure blood human. Having only human DNA in his ancestry, which was extremely rare in the modern day and age.

In this universe where the tower existed since the beginning of time, all the myriad different races interacted with each other since time immemorial and the concept of pure bloodlines had become blurred since ages.

Across the cosmos, every species naturally underwent the processes of evolution and mutation, each at its own pace.

This variability in evolutionary rates was largely dictated by environmental conditions and the species' ability to adapt and thrive within their respective habitats.

Among these varied life forms, humans were widely recognized as a single species, yet they displayed significant genetic diversity.

Even on Earth, while everyone looked like a normal human, if tested for genetic make-up.

Rocky's best friend Adam would be 0.2% Elven, while Taylor would be 0.3% beastman.

This diversity stemmed from geographical origins and the presence of mixed ancestry, yet despite these variations, humans shared fundamental characteristics with other bipedal species, including having two legs, two arms, two eyes, one mouth, and a highly evolved brain.

These traits were common across bipedal beings such as elves, orcs, goblins, and humans, highlighting a shared biological heritage.

In the modern era, these hybrid ancestries blurred traditional racial boundaries. Some appeared distinctly different from any recognized major race, while others blended in seamlessly, making racial distinctions increasingly difficult to define.

Rocky, standing as a pure-blood human in an era dominated by mixed ancestries, represented a unique genetic blueprint in modern times.

His 100% human genetic makeup, devoid of any interspecies traits, positioned him as a rarity and highlighted a distinct path of evolutionary potential inherent within the human genome.

"With not a lot of different racial DNA to take care of, his body can be unlocked to its full potential...… I was right to offer this reward for him….. he's the perfect recipient" Nubi said to herself as she began the genome unlock procedure.

Human DNA, in its pure form, had considerable room for evolutionary advancement. experience-MvLeMpYr-content

The relatively short evolutionary history of humans, compared to other species, suggested that the human genome was far from reaching its developmental zenith.

This untapped genetic potential had the most visible improvement in areas such as:-

1. [ Enhanced Cognitive Abilities ]

The human brain, already complex and capable of remarkable feats, was capable of evolving to have even greater processing power, memory retention, and problem-solving capabilities.

For Rocky, this meant that he could have a near perfect recall from now onwards, being able to memorize everything written on a piece of paper even if he glanced at it even once.

2. [ Superior Vision ]

Genome Evolution could refine human eyesight beyond its current limitations, potentially including the ability to see a broader spectrum of light.

For Rocky, this meant that he had improved night vision, improved color contrast distinction and a stronger eye muscle that would not be strained even if used to focus on a very tiny object for extended periods of time.

3. [ Increased Physical Strength and Endurance ]

The Human muscle and bone density had room to evolve and become much stronger, allowing for greater physical feats of strength and endurance.

For Rocky, this meant that the racial limit of strength was blown apart for him.

If before training for two hours increased the strength of his muscles from being able to lift 2 kg to 2.2kg, the same amount of training would now give him the improvement of going from 2 to 2.4 kg in strength.

Not only could he add on muscle faster, but the muscle quality and character had been improved as well.

4. [ Enhanced Resistance to Poisons ]

The human race was too weak against poisons and had no natural protections against them, however, after undergoing evolution, Rocky had a robust natural defense to poisons.

5. [ Longevity and Aging ]

Just like vampires who could live a healthy life for 250-300 years and Elves who could live for up to 400.

Humans also had the untapped potential to live a longer and healthier life even if they never reached godhood.

For Rocky, after undergoing genome enhancement, his natural speed of aging reduced drastically, allowing him to mention his looks and bodily prime for longer.

6. [ Environmental Adaptability ] :

Rocky after undergoing the genome enhancement had the ability to now tolerate extreme temperatures or breathe in lower oxygen conditions.

7. [ Enhanced Mana Sensitivity ]

The human race's sensitivity to mana was pretty trash.

Sensing the flow of mana within one's body was hard for humans but it came naturally to more evolved species like angels and elves.

For Rocky, this sense was now enhanced as with his newfound sensitivity he could understand spells and the mana around him with more precision.

8. [ Enhanced sensory sensitivity ]

Everything, from the sense of taste, sound, spatial awareness was enhanced for Rocky, with his ears becoming as keep as that of a dog, his palate improving, being able to discern every ingredient of a dish he ate and his spatial awareness using sound also receiving a major upgrade.

—-------

While these seemed like minor changes when viewed immediately, the most important change for Rocky was having his ceiling of growth removed.

A tier4 average human would always be weaker than a tier4 average dragon because of racial factors, however, that would no longer be true for Rocky.

After undergoing this procedure Rocky was poised to improve his constitution dramatically as he trained and gained strength.

His skin could now potentially become as hard as dragon scales, his vitality could surpass that of angels while his muscle quality could become such that at tier4 he could have strength akin to that of tier6 normal human gods.

Evolved from his base form to becoming a [ Perfected Human ] Rocky now possessed the potential to reach the pinnacle of the human race.

While whether or not he could reach it remained up to him, he now had the chance to transcend beyond his limiters and become faster, stronger and more intelligent than any human in the history of the tower.

"Phew- , that's one reward having been distributed, time to improve his mana circuit and mana pool next-" Nubi commented as after completing his genome enhancement procedure, she immediately moved onwards to the next reward, trying to give Rocky a massive mana pool that was not supposed to be found in a floor 4 climber like himself.
