I'm a Stingray?

Chapter 158: North problems (3)

'Weird senses' was the best way to describe this ability. Well the system would be doing all the work, but it wasn't the best idea to describe that, even towards siblings. The system itself urges to be secretive about it although the reason is still a blur.

Instantly, Haze objected. "Why bite me? Bite one of the boys!"

It was a firm reason of which the little hero had no way of going against. But after a few moments, the best idea he could come up with was. "I'll bite all of you, more information will be helpful."

Neither of the siblings were comfortable with such a method, Timothy included. But this seemed to be the only way of figuring out these bizarre powers, without putting their life on the line.

So he decided to get this over with and requested, "Philip, can you just stretch out your fin towards me?"

This sibling wasn't the most motivated to go ahead with this plan, but didn't put up a fight either and offered a fin almost instantly. The system carrying boy went ahead and just dug in the tip of his jaw towards this volunteer, and pushed down deep enough to pierce the skin and let some blood seep out.

[That's enough] The system announced and processed this bit of blood, [Hmmm... quite bizarre]

"What's going on?!" The little boy asked and had an urge to yell out but in this case it would be tremendously weird. "Will they die?"

[No. Well not because of these changes at least]

[I've used the blood sample to analyse what bodily structure would be required to contain this kind of blood, since it seemed to have changed as well along with the rest of the body]

[A complete chart of what I could analyse is ready to be heard out. But this kind of information shouldn't be available to you now. Neither should you be able to buy it soon, but such a perk can be unlocked for an hour. I didn't do this for anyone before but this information is valuable, it will be a nice addition to my collection of knowledge]

[Price = 200 system points]

The sea-pancake's heart ached after hearing such a price but also understood that the system is going beyond bounds to help both him and herself. So he simply nodded and allowed it, "Sure, I'll buy it."

[Purchase confirmed]

[200 system points consumed]

[42 system points remaining]

By now Timothy had realised that his siblings had given strange and contemplative glares, so he started behaving as if still thinking: smacking his jaws too.

[Your brother Philip has met a complete body rebirth. The internal body parts he has now can be barely considered that of a stingray's although his bodyform is still identical to one.]

Such a piece of information was in all ways difficult to understand for a pea-brained boy. So the only question he could come up with was, "So that's what's causing him to shoot out big-ass ghost jaws!"

[Somewhat, yes. His entire body has been reformed to meet the requirements that this new ability demands]

[As for the jaw-power itself, this solely comes from Philip's brain. He isn't shooting out jaws but using smaller particles in the waters instead]

[These particles can come out of anything. Coral, animals, even water. And within a second they are automatically broken down and compressed for use, before they are turned into any desired form. And what strength it has is all determined by Philip]

This seemed like the most powerful ability one could run across, the little hero was becoming a bit envious. He only understood half of what the system had explained but could build up a thought, enough to ask. "So he can shoot out jaws with his mind now?"

[Yes, but that's not all. His entire body has changed to support this kind of power, including his brain]

[The blood sample wasn't enough to make an accurate guess but right now his IQ should range around 400. And the other intelligences should be high too]

Such information came in as more shocking than the realisation that the holy-tar sect has spread amongst thousands of bodies. But by now his siblings had grown impatient.

So he swiftly introduced, "Philip, you can use everything around you now and transform them into big jaws. It's like mind control but you can destroy everything around you with a thought, just to make those jaws."

The rest of his siblings had a lot of trouble catching on, so Tim also added. "You have become smart enough to control small particles around you and use them however you want to!"

"Great so my theory wasn't so far off." Philip answered and forced all of them into shock.

It was difficult to catch up on how he figured this bizarre situation out already but the system carrying boy understood it, his brother has attained a massive IQ now so it shouldn't be too tricky for the boy to understand how his own body worked.

There was no time to understand the rest of what his brother could be capable of, as curiosity urged to figure out more stuff.

Snoopy volunteered to be bitten after and from the looks of it his IQ hasn't changed, although it was already high. "Bite me, but stay away from my ass player!"

This sentence already made the situation uncomfortable but thinking about biting into this boy seemed torturous because his entire skin was covered with what seemed like metal.

Finally deciding to try and sink his jaws on this sibling, it was noticeable at an instant that it would be difficult to even puncture the surface of this guy. So a bit more power was given in but yet it was ineffective.

So the system carrying boy gave in all of his thrust against the metal-flesh and finally managed to break the tip of the jaw in. Thankfully, the system announced. [That's enough]
