A quick note to apologize for my recent inconsistency. I've been a little under the weather these past few days, having caught a nasty cold. Every ti I looked at a screen, my eyes would just start watering, making it pretty tough to do anything.
I'm starting to feel much better now and hope to get back on track!
---
Fifth Street — the only villa residential area.
All the gangsters here lay in pools of blood, barely clinging to life.
Kevin sat on the lawn, several boxes of money stacked in front of him."Aweso!! You guys are loaded—there's millions here in clean cash!"
"Ke… Kevin…"
The gang boss looked up and pleaded,"Leave so money. You can't take it all."
"I've got a car, and I can drive," Kevin said proudly. "I'll gladly be taking this money."
With that, he slowly removed the silenced rifle from his back and aid it at the gang boss.
Click.
The mont Kevin's finger pulled the trigger— Whoosh!!
A blinding light suddenly flashed from behind!
"Who?!"
Kevin instinctively turned around, only to see a surge of red light pouring in from the main entrance!
Waves of heat slamd into him, and Kevin frowned slightly as sweat poured down his face.
It was only thirty-five degrees today, right?
Why was it so hot?!
As the red light faded, flas suddenly erupted!
Standing there was an alien with fiery red skin, covered in fla-like patterns.
His head burned fiercely, like a roaring inferno!
His face was shaped like a demonic mask, his eyes pitch black, and his mouth full of fangs. A single, blazing eye—now that was a man's romance.

"W-What… what kind of monster is this now?!"
Kevin shivered in fear and imdiately pulled the trigger.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As the rifle spat bullets, they flew toward Zack—but lted instantly upon contact with his superheated body.
Raising his hand, Zack conjured a massive, terrifying ball of fire!
"Y-You can play with fire, but I can generate electricity!"
Kevin tossed aside the rifle, and a surge of powerful current erupted from his hand!
Bang!
As the electricity collided with the flas, the fire completely overpowered the current and blasted straight toward Kevin's body…
"Urgh!"
Kevin was sent flying in a sorry state, tumbling into the distance!
Zack hooked his finger, and the fla actually followed Kevin's trajectory, chasing him out into the street!
Boom!
With a loud crash, Kevin hit the ground, thick smoke rising from his body.
The battle ended almost instantly…
Zack had crushed Kevin with absolute combat power!!
He stepped forward, slowly making his way to the street, heading toward the smoking figure.
"Za—Fire Man." Ben's voice sounded, his steps firm. "Let deal with him, okay?"
"Ben, you wanted to help him earlier out of good intentions. You don't need to bla yourself."
Zack paused for a mont, suppressing his anger as he tried to comfort Ben.
"Please… let feel better!" Ben took a deep breath and said.
"He can generate electricity, so use a long-range alien to deal with him," Zack advised, then nodded and decisively gave up the battlefield.
As long as Ben used a long-range alien to keep Kevin from absorbing his DNA, he had a good chance of winning.
What's more, Zack was still there to control the situation if needed.
"Don't worry, I already have the perfect choice."
Ben raised his hand and slamd it down on the raised Omnitrix dial.
As the light flared, a burst of electricity shot out from the transformation!
The figure of gawhatt hovered proudly in the air, staring intently at the source of the thick smoke. "I'll use gawhatt to teach this guy a lesson!"
"You fucking assholes, don't think you can stop from getting my money!!"
A roar echoed out!
Kevin limped from the thick smoke, a huge surge of electricity condensing in his hands as he locked onto Ben in the sky."First, I'll take care of you—the newcor!"
Boom!
He swung his arm hard, and a terrifying wave of high-voltage current blasted toward Ben!
Ben also raised his hand, sending a surge of electricity forward!
The two currents collided, but Ben's was stronger, slowly forcing its way toward Kevin.
Just then— "Heh~"
Kevin suddenly lowered his hands, letting the current hit his own body!
He convulsed from the shock, but used his trembling hands to greedily absorb the energy. "Bahaha! I can absorb energy… urg.. I'll gladly accept yours!"
"This… this is too ruthless, isn't it?"
Seeing Kevin's self-destructive tactic, Ben's eyes widened in astonishnt.
His body transford into a beam of light again, directly attaching itself to Kevin!
"Your body is also made of energy? Wait… what's happening to —"
Kevin's excitent vanished as he scread, and a dazzling light exploded outward!
Ben was thrown back, landing beside Zack.
"Annoying… I ssed up."
"Ben, this isn't your fault this ti. And…"
Zack slowly clenched his fist, his face serious. "I'm here."
He had helped Ben unlock gawhatt, but it had ended up causing trouble for him.
But he would step in to turn the situation around!
"Now, I'm also a monster—one that's not losing to you! Zzzt."
Kevin slowly walked out of the light, his voice eerily similar to gawhatt's.
His physique remained the sa as before, but his skin had turned black, and his eyes had turned golden—just like an adult version of gawhatt.
Zack said nothing, only raising his hand again and aiming at Kevin.
Boom!
Zack and Kevin simultaneously unleashed flas and electricity.
The two elents collided, and once again, the flas rcilessly overpowered the electricity, slamming into Kevin's body!
Kevin was blasted backward, disbelief etched across his face. "Dizzt.. Again… another instant defeat?!"
"Back in the yard, I didn't want to use my full strength... I was afraid I'd kill everyone there!"
Zack slowly clenched his fist, flas roaring around him, making him look like a Fla Demon God.
Now, he could go all out.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Zack's fists swung relentlessly, each punch bursting into a ball of fire that pounded Kevin in the sky!
Kevin was battered again and again, completely unable to fight back.
Let alone counterattack—
Even staying airborne was a luxury…
The most unbelievable part was—
When Kevin was about to be blasted out of Fifth-Fifth Street, far beyond Zack's position, Zack could still hurl fiery punches with pinpoint accuracy, hitting him from a great distance. His aim was practically at Eagle Eye level!
"Damn it…"
Kevin's expression twisted with frustration as he roared, "I… I should've found a chance to absorb this guy's DNA!!"
They were both aliens— But this guy's strength was ridiculous!
"Good heavens." Ben stared wide-eyed at the scene. "Zack, when will I ever be able to surpass you?!"
That day seed a long way off.
"Work harder!"
Zack let out a low cry, flas erupting from the soles of his feet as he flew after the fleeing Kevin like Iron Man!
He fought while flying, continuing until his physical strength was nearly spent.
Kevin, on the other hand, was brutally beaten the entire ti, almost reverting to human form before crashing heavily to the ground.
"Done."
Zack slowly landed, keeping a cautious eye on Kevin.
"Next.. ugh.. ti, I will definitely absorb your DNA!"
Kevin spoke with difficulty, squeezing out the last of his strength as his body transford into a stream of electricity.
Zack imdiately raised his hand, aiming at Kevin's form again—only to lower it.
Because…
The current Kevin had transford into rushed into a burning house.
His screams echoed as he fled through the sea of fire.
When it ca to ruthlessness, Zack was far inferior to Kevin.
Zack coldly lowered his hand, a strange expression on his face. "If you're lucky enough to survive, and even absorb my DNA… you'll beco weaker."
The Carnitrix aliens were generally weaker; their exceptional performance ca entirely from his terrifying main body!
Ding, the host defeated the electricity-filled Kevin, defeated the Feedback-limited-edition Kevin, progress 1!
Template progress is 18/100, greatly enhanced physical functions unlocked!
Zack's mouth ford an "O" shape.
System…
You counted Kevin's different forms as multiple rewards??
No… is Kevin really that valuable?!
For a mont, Zack even faintly looked forward to Kevin's next visit—he would definitely squeeze Kevin hard!
Squeeze 10 progress points out of him!
"Zack!"
Ben flew to Zack's side, gritting his teeth. "Let's save people first—many are injured!"
"Okay! Let's go!"
Zack looked at the disaster around him, his expression turning solemn.
He quickly switched to Way Big, rescuing people and scaring others along the way…
Ben, on the other hand, relied on his own abilities to save innocent people one by one.
Even Grandpa Max and Gwen rushed into the fire to save people.
A mont later, everyone was safe, and almost all the gangsters heavily beaten by Kevin were dead. Kevin, however, had removed three pests from the slum… PS: himself, the gangsters, and the gang as a whole.
In a certain alley, a crimson light flashed past!
"I have muscle definition now…"
Zack slowly lowered his head, looking at the clear muscle lines on his body that stretched his loose T-shirt!
The strength within him was constantly surging; to use a classic phrase, it felt like he could punch a cow to death!
"System, open personal panel!"

Zack looked at the last column and asked in confusion, "Entry-Level Plumber? What's the difference between this and my previous 'strong adult'?"
Ding, the host's previous physique was compared to ordinary people; now it's at a level where you can be a Plumber!
"Damn, that's so powerful!"
Zack clenched his fist, silently anticipating the result of his next transformation.
His aliens were going to get stronger collectively!
After adapting to his body, Zack left the alley and joined everyone in the old rust bucket.
Ben was in low spirits, head bowed. "If I hadn't been careless, that guy wouldn't have escaped…"
Grandpa Max comforted Ben, patting him on the shoulder. "Ben, reality won't always be smooth sailing."
"But I'll do better next ti, Grandpa, Zack… just you wait!" Ben said firmly.
"Ah, this…"
Zack looked at Ben, feeling sowhat relieved.

Was this a good thing, or a bad thing?
