I've been in this place for a few months now.
And here I am, training my tail. In the meantime, I can hardly tell you how bored I was. Honestly, the worst feeling for someone like me is loneliness. After all, I come from a place where any boredom or loneliness you feel can be eased with a single click.
As for what I did in the meantime, I just tested stuff. First of all, I tested my tail.
I learned through multiple tests, like throwing a rock at her and the like, that she wasn't a weakness. On the contrary, it was as rigid as the rest of my body, and it didn't make me weak.
I didn't find out if the reason was the Shell skill or if the genetic modification that this body underwent made it become tougher to withstand the absorption skill.
And as far as I know, it can be both. Besides, that wasn't the only thing I discovered. Due to testing with smaller beings, I've seen some cool stuff.
Testing the limits of the Absorb skill, I realized two doubts of mine.
First, I wondered if the beings had to be dead when using the skill, and second, if they didn't need to be dead, would the skill kill them?
The answer for one, luckily it was for the other as well. When testing on some random fish, I found that, one, the target doesn't have to be dead, and two, it won't die.
Apparently, Absorption absorbs only part of the genetic code and deduces the rest, as if it were a copy. How the hell this is done is something I don't even know.
But I don't care either, in a world where there's a purple chubby who stops the world by holding his breath, anything is possible.
That's good, as now, my plans to get stronger have been severely eased.
Second thing that was also tested, was: could I absorb the same species more than once to strengthen its own characteristics?
The answer, short and blunt, was no. So I couldn't, for example, absorb Goku, as I'm already a Saiyan. However, variants can still be absorbed.
I discovered this by absorbing a tiger similar to the one I had encountered in my early days. Its color was different, as was its strong point.
I absorbed it without any problem.
Now for other tests. I haven't stood still when it comes to skills either, and this is demonstrated by my status screen.
|Akion| Saiyan(Mod) |PL: 326|

I had a total of four new abilities. First, let's start with the passives.
Pressure resistance I got by absorbing the carcass of a deep-sea monster that came to the surface. Fortunately, it was extremely easy to kill him with Ikari form.
Also, the interesting thing about the Ikari form is that, after I used it, I no longer turned into an Oozaru at the full moon. Instead, the Ikari form was active and all that happened was my eyes turned yellow.
Back to skills... Pressure resistance is obvious. It makes me immensely resist the pressure placed on my body. This is extremely good in combination with Shell, but it is very harmful to training, as it is more difficult to push my body to the limit.
Fortunately, passive skills can be inactive when I want. I discovered this as soon as I thought about how I would go about training with it.
The second one, however, martial arts, is extremely vague, and all it does is get me a better sense of hand-to-hand fighting. Nothing that can be very quantified.
Now for the best. Instant Transmission. A Yardrat ability taught to Goku that allows him to teleport to anyone as long as he senses their Ki.
This is a Ki skill, and I felt stupid for taking so long to remember such a thing. This ability was just perfect for me when I wanted to leave this planet.
Another skill I learned was a spell. I also discovered the difference between magic and Ki attacks. Though both use Ki as fuel, magic is more versatile and unpredictable.
However, she uses the mind stat, and since mine doesn't seem to be very special, I could only learn a basic one, which I used to create basic kitchen utensils and clothes for myself. Obviously, I created following the best pattern of clothes ever made, those of Broly from the 1993 movie.
His accessories are simply too good to pass up.
Now, however, I want to learn something new. Something I wanted to try, but only now will I be able to use it.
I finished my tail training, after all, even though it's not a weakness, it's better to be safe than sorry.
I dropped the stone to the ground and looked around. I was close to that place where I slept the first time I became an Oozaru. Since then, I haven't fought any crab-level monsters, focusing on just training and thoughts.
Despite adapting to my surroundings, it still took time to digest my current situation, and I needed that time to get my head together.
Without further ado, I wanted to try something new. I was a Star Wars fan, and the Force from the series was simply one of the coolest powers I've ever seen.
Even though I don't have the strength where I am, maybe I can use telekinesis as a substitute.
Just as I thought, I used telekinesis on my own body, it was still morning, I had already stretched out and soon I would have to hunt. But it's good that I can already do that so I don't always have to depend on Ikari mode.
Despite not expending energy like super saiyans, it is still bad to train in a mode that multiplies all your power by 10x. After all, you'll be training 10x less than you could. Not that it matters in fights.
Honestly, I'm just making senseless excuses to simulate force!
Smiling at the idea, I felt my telekinesis kick in, wrapping around my body from the outside. But that would not be enough.
With a thought, telekinesis penetrated my body, coursing through my bones and flesh.
It didn't take long for the notification to appear.
|Active Skill (Telekinesis Enhancement x2) Acquired|
Eager to see the results, I glanced at its description quickly.
|Telekinesis Enhancement x2:
|The ability to use telekinesis to control and empower your own body.
When using, your physical stat is multiplied by 2x.|
I sighed. This multiplied only one status, it was like a Kaioken, but only for one status. Kaioken, on the other hand, was a general increase.
Wait... It's true! Kaioken exists! And besides, I have pressure resistance, which means that in the early stages, I am immune to Kaioken!
My god... This...
I have to try. Throwing the pseudo strength I created with telekinesis aside, I thought of using my own life energy, Ki, to empower myself.
My Ki swirled, heated, bubbled. I was doing it wrong, but again, it didn't take long for me to know the exact way to do it.
|Active skill (Kaioken x2) acquired|
My Ki, once pure white, turned a pungent red. My hair rose slightly without color change. The air released by the Kaioken was what kept my hair standing on end.
I didn't feel pressure, but yes, it seemed to tire me out with the Ki leaking out like this. Fortunately, I was able to mitigate this with Ki control, keeping the Ki only around the red aura, but leakage was still inevitable.
However, I felt VERY strong. Not as much as with the Ikari form, but it was still an impressive force.
I couldn't help but look at my current fighting power.
|Akion|PL: 652|
I couldn't help thinking... What if I activate everything at the same time? A crazy idea popped into my mind.
I didn't need to scream or say anything, after all, I had control of my mind, and with a thought, the Ikari mode was active. My hair rose and my muscles seemed to gain more volume, only to contract again, my eyes turned yellow and a new wave of strength surged through me.
I took advantage and also activated the ability to strengthen telekinesis. I felt my body get even stronger, I was a monster now. I couldn't help but open the status and look at the monstrosity I'd become.

My God.
I couldn't help but open my mouth. The ground below me cracked with the power of the force that came out of my red Ki that took on a slightly orange color due to the Ikari mode.
I knelt down, putting my hand over my mouth. My manners went down when all I could do was smile.
A gigantic smile.
- Getting strong is addictive as fuck!
