Consuming saw shark meat

The canine and Darkening arrived and brought for the tenth time, several evolved beetle bodies to Drayan. Darkening and Canine had their mouths full of insects.

"I'm already sick of the taste of this stuff, but I really need to get stronger."

Drayan had gathered a mountain of beetles, enough to reach a meter in height.

Drayan ate the beetle mountain with his left hand, chewing and swallowing.

Drayan was willing to make his modified body stronger with plenty of evolved-level nutrients, but of course, he had to be careful, his body was limited, and he couldn't carry infinite nutrients or he would explode.

Normally, when your body starts to fill up, Drayan gives your cells the nutrients to feed themselves. The cells feed on the nutrients and evolve a little more. This is your way of having more space to carry nutrients and genes in your body.

Some genes are also absorbed by other genes, creating a stronger gene. Which means Drayan can use skill genes to feed other skill genes. But this will not cause him to create a new ability, or for him to have two abilities in one gene. Feeding genes with other genes will only make the evolution of genes evolve faster.

Using skill genes to feed other genes is better than using nutrients, however, it is difficult to get skill genes, so there are not many hunters who give skill genes to feed their cells and genes.

Drayan was willing to use the nutrients he had obtained from the beetles to strengthen his jaw-type wolf ability genes and eat the Sawshark's mutated flesh.

The best option at the moment would be to use the beetles' ability genes and nutrients to evolve the jaw-type wolf's ability genes, however, unlike Drayan cells, which feed on any nutrients, the mutant-level ability genes , only feed on mutant-level nutrients and genes.

Which means, it is not possible to evolve the ability genes of a mutant level creature, with evolved or modified level nutrients. But it is possible to evolve the body's cells with any nutrient.

So mutant level ability genes can only be evolved with mutant level nutrients or higher. But it is still possible to use any nutrient to temporarily strengthen mutant-level ability genes.

Drayan was willing to use the black beetle's abilities as a power source as they were very simple. The abilities Drayan achieved were creating small claws on his fingers and hands. The claws were at most three centimeters long. In addition to the fact that the claws are very fragile, it would not have enough attack power to harm a modified level creature. Even if it injured, the small claws would not make deep cuts on the creature.

Drayan could save some microorganisms from the beetles, so he could summon a large number of insects, but he did not intend to save the microorganisms from the insects, as he would use them to strengthen himself. Furthermore, he would have to train the cells and microorganisms to be able to perform the invocation. Drayan was already very busy, trying to better control Fang and the sawshark's cells and microorganisms.

And even if it was an army, the bugs would be easily defeated by modified level creatures. But even so, Drayan recognizes that they would be very useful, to create distractions. Therefore, he would be willing to catch a lot of beetles after he finishes eating the shark meat.

Drayan had already used up all of the Saw Shark's mutant-level nutrients, so he had no nutrients to feed the wolf's ability genes. But as Darkening increased the percentage of his cells after eating the shark's teeth, all of his abilities improved, along with his jaw.

Which means that the jaw type body genes and the wolf aura mode were stronger than before.

If Drayan evolved the wolf jaw, Darkening could have a mid-level mutant jaw, even if his body was still low-level mutant.

Drayan wanted to become very strong, and then go to 'Mast' city, and defeat the strongest creature in 'Mast' city, then, he would go to 'Eity' city.

I have enough evolved level nutrients, if I use part of the nutrients to temporarily strengthen Darkening's jaw, and use the rest of the nutrients to feed my cells, will I be able to eat the shark? Well, I'm doing several things at once to strengthen myself. It's impossible that I can't eat after all this, right? Also, the meat became softer after four days, but I'll wait another day, just to be sure.

Drayan didn't really know the percentage of his cells, so he didn't know how strong his low-level modified body was now. But he knew that his evolutionary cells were still in their beginning, perhaps around 5%, according to Drayan.

He knew he couldn't have more than 10% when he just evolved his body.

But Drayan knew one thing; tomorrow would be the day he found out if he had what it took to eat the sawshark, and he would also know, whether or not his shark cells had adapted to his body.

***

The day has come. Drayan fed on a lot of evolved beetles. But of course, he wasn't that selfish, he shared some, giving some bugs to Darkening and Canine to eat.

Only Cent didn't eat.

Drayan was in front of the shark's body. He activated the mutant wolf's body growth genes, creating a strong, sturdy jaw with pointy teeth.

Drayan used half of his nutrients to strengthen a single part of his body, his jaw. The other half he used to feed his cells.

Drayan could use the nutrients to strengthen his entire body, or a part of it. If Drayan uses nutrients to strengthen a part of his body, then that chosen part will be very strong.

He bit into the flesh and his eyes widened as he saw that he still couldn't chew the creature, no deep scratches were made. Then Drayan activated the mutant wolf's aura mode. Making your eyes turn golden.

Drayan opened his jaw wide, and the larger teeth pierced the surface of the shark's skin.

Even if it wasn't deep, it was already great. Blood was oozing from the shark's small cut. Drayan then fed on this blood, and began to suck the blood as if he were a vampire.

If he continued absorbing the sawshark's blood, he would be able to remove the shark's genes, and nutrients that were strengthening the mutant shark's body.

It would only be a matter of hours before the shark's flesh was weak enough for him to eat. He would just have to keep sucking the blood.

Drayan, from the beginning, could have used the Crystal to scratch the surface of the shark's skin, and make the shark bleed, but even then, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to eat the meat after sucking all the sawshark's blood. It was quite likely that the shark's carcass was also quite hard.

For this reason, he decided to gather enough nutrients from the Beetles' evolved level, and use all these nutrients to strengthen himself, and eat the meat.

Drayan also didn't like being dependent on the crystal, he wanted to show himself that even without the Crystal, he could find a way to eat the flesh of a mutant creature if he wanted. But either way, Drayan wouldn't be able to eat the meat if he hadn't strengthened himself.

***

5 hours passed, with Drayan taking breaks, and using the nutrients acquired from the shark, to feed his cells, and make his stomach empty so he could suck in more blood.

His jaw was already hurting, in fact, his jaw was numb, and he had lost the feeling of moving his chin, but he was already getting to the main part.

The shark's body was drier and softer now.

Drayan then bit into the meat. It was still hard, but his teeth penetrated the flesh this time, deeply.

Are you kidding me... I can eat now?!

Drayan jumped with joy, and began to devour the shark. It felt like he was eating a piece of wood, due to the hardness of the meat, but he continued chewing the food. It tasted horrible, but he ate the food crying with joy.

I'll be very strong when I finish eating the shark.

Drayan bit and bit the flesh, it was like a tiger devouring its prey. The bones were chewed.

The shark's cells and ability genes had just fused with Drayan's cells. But many cells failed to fuse, even though Drayan had compatible DNA.

After so many attempts, his main cells, the leader cells, which carried all the other cells, got used to the shark cells, and with that, Drayan got two Saw Shark ability genes.

Wait for me, 'Mast' city, I'll be there soon. — Drayan, wiped the blood dripping from his mouth.
