Ultimate Being from the Tokonosu City

Chapter 20: Let’s stop at the convience store

Nevertheless, as Isao started to drive, everyone calmed down and ate the bread that he and Kyoko had previously picked up in the cafeteria. While there were many types of foods, bread was convenient and easy to eat. Moreover, it could withstand normal temperatures for at least a few days. 

Yes, there might be some other instant foods that could be held for a long time, yet where would they find a place to prepare those damn instant foods?

Still, while the amount of food that Isao and Kyoko had was okay for the two, it wasn't enough to share with everyone on the bus. Yet, they were satisfied, and their trust in him was even stronger as Isao showed everything by action instead of just talking. 

If this was Shido, would he share all of his food? No way. He would keep all of them by himself. Still, in his mind, he thought that Isao had more food, but Isao didn't share it with everyone. 

'If I can say that...' 

Then, Shido knew that he should have more chances for a comeback. The humiliation and pain he felt previously were still vivid. Even if everyone shunned and hated him, it didn't mean there was no room for a comeback, but when he thought about Isao...

*Shudder!*

Once again, his body trembled in fear, yet even if he couldn't do anything to Isao, it didn't mean he couldn't do his revenge on the others, right?

At this moment, the three male students who had beaten up Shido didn't know that they were targeted by a disgusting creature. 

However, even if Isao knew what Shido was planning, he didn't plan to do anything since, as he had said before, he could do anything to Shido if he wished to. Moreover, he also gained the ability to control any beings whose DNA was absorbed into his body. 

As long as he absorbed a human's body, he could control it like a puppeteer controlling a puppet. 

Still, even if he didn't absorb a human, he could control a group of flies to enter Shido's body and release many maggots onto his body. 

In this place where many humans died and the doctor was as good as gone, how could Shido treat his body that was full of maggots?

Being killed by those "things" might be nice and all since everything was over quickly, but dying slowly and painfully was definitely the best revenge for someone. 

Yet, Isao had decided to become a good guy, so he wouldn't do something like that. 

"Senpai, your house is close, right?" 

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Saya asked in doubt. 

"Let's stop at that convenience store. I am hungry." 

"...." Saya. 

Saying those words, Isao controlled the bus to crash into many of those "things" who were on the way. After killing many of them, he stopped the car and attracted everyone, especially when he stood up. 

"I am going to go to the convenience store to eat. If you want to follow, then follow. If you don't want to, then stay." 

By then, Isao didn't hesitate and exited the bus without any fear. Then, he took down all those "things" on the path before smoothly entering the convenience store. 

"...." Everyone. 

Kyoko was helpless, but she was the first one to follow Isao. This should be the case, but when she was about to go out, she saw Rei, who was also ready to go out. 

"Ah." 2x

The two were surprised and almost hit each other. Fortunately, they didn't fall, and while Kyoko was confused about why Rei would follow Isao first, Rei said, "Sensei, I will take the lead." 

"O-Okay." 

Facing Rei, who seemed to be ready to face those "things" without mercy, Kyoko nodded subconsciously, and the two went off the bus one after another. 

By then, Shizuka had also followed. "Ah, wait for me. I am also hungry." 

Saeko also followed quietly without saying much. 

Meanwhile, Saya was speechless. 

"Takagi-san..." Hirano looked at Saya, waiting for her decision. Frankly, even if Isao had shared some food, he was still hungry and wanted to eat. 

"Dammit! Did you guys think that we're on a picnic?!" 

Without answering Hirano, Saya got off the bus since she would be lying if she wasn't hungry. After watching Saya's action, Hirano also came out with her to the convenience store, holding his nail gun and looking around carefully. Yet everything was cleared up by Isao; only a few of those "things" were around. 

Moreover, as Isao had said before, as long as they were quiet, everything would be okay. 

The rest of the group looked at each other before they decided to follow Isao, especially the girls, but many guys chose to stay. 

Takashi hesitated but noticed the bus key, which was still in the driver's seat. He looked at Shido and happened to see Shido's shining eyes. Hesitating, he didn't know what to do before he decided to follow Isao and the rest, especially when Rei also had gone out. 

Takashi knew that he had disappointed everyone with so many mistakes, and he had to fix them up! 

Still, Isao didn't care about what was happening on the bus, and his focus had been on the convenience store before him. As he entered, some of those "things" were inside, and he smashed those who came toward him. Still, he didn't clear all of them up. Instead, his eyes were quickly attracted to all the corpses that remained within the convenience store. 

Isao was alone, and it was a rare chance for him since it gave him a chance to absorb one or two of those "things" into his body. Still, before that, he decided to destroy all the security cameras in this place, just in case. 

[You have acquired Miyabi Asahi's DNA.]

[Do you want to absorb it?] 

[You have acquired Tanaka Masaki's DNA.]

[Do you want to absorb it?]

As expected, when he accepted and absorbed those two, their corpses disappeared, and he gained their DNA, abilities, talents, experiences, and many others. Still, not every human has a talent, and many of us have hardly any unique ability or knowledge. 

However, there was no doubt that every one of us in this world had a special attribute that no one had. 

Still, Isao knew that he was lucky when he got the two. While those two people might seem like ordinary people, Miyabi Asahi was an ob-gyn, and Tanaka Masaki was a surgeon. 

Yet, that wasn't all since he also learned that he could gain the physical ability of the two corpses that he had absorbed and feel that he had become stronger. It wasn't much, though, as those two weren't exactly powerful, considering they were doctors who spent most of their time in the hospital.

Frankly, Isao had to say that his luck was good. He didn't expect to gain the knowledge, skills, and experiences of two types of doctors at the same time.

Still, his goal hadn't ended since there were many things that he needed to learn about his abilities, such as whether he could control a human. After absorbing flies, dogs, and cats, he gained the ability to control those three animals. Then what about humans?

As expected, after he absorbed those two, he gained the ability to control a human and also the ability to control those "things" as those two he absorbed had turned into those "things" before. At that moment, he was as good as God in this world, especially when he could control those "things." Moreover, besides the ability to control everything, he learned from the things that he absorbed.

Still, while he had gained a powerful ability, it didn't mean that he was going to stop studying his ability.

His next focus was whether it was possible for him to replicate the DNA of others in different ways. 

Isao knew that he replicated the protagonist's and his group's DNA by holding hands, so was there a different way to replicate the DNA of others?

Yes, he might have used this new ability before, but he wanted to use it on more targets to learn more about his ability since the fastest way to master his ability was to use it more, right?

'This time, it's a replication.' 

Touching the head of one of those "things" that he had taken down, he used his ability to replicate his target DNA instead of absorbing the corpse into his body directly.

[You have gained the DNA of Takeshi Ken.]

[Do you want to absorb it?]

As Isao had said before, he didn't intend to absorb the corpse and just tried to replicate the DNA of his target, leaving the corpse there.

As expected, as long as he touched his target, even if he didn't get their parts of DNA, such as blood, hair, or even liquid, he could replicate his target's DNA. Moreover, as he had said before, the process was relatively long and couldn't be done instantly, but even if the process was long, he could get everything from one that he had replicated.

If there was something that couldn't be done by replicating and why absorbing was better, it was how he could get the physical ability of his absorbed target, as "absorbing" someone into his body made his body stronger. 

Yet, there was no doubt that the "replication" was much safer than absorbing the corpse's body, as he would be seen as a monster if someone found out. 

Still, his time to learn was over as the others started to enter the convenience store, and they quickly helped him to clear up all of those "things" in this place. 

"Let me help you, Iinuma-kun!" 

Isao looked at Rei and held her weapon as she said those words firmly without fear. "Thank you, Miyamoto-senpai." 

"Rei... call me, Rei-senpai." 

Isao never expected the girl who would end up with the protagonist would be like this, yet why should he reject her?

"Okay, Rei-senpai. You can also call me Isao. Let's clear them up together, but be careful." 

"Yes, Isao-kun!" 

As long as Isao was there, Rei felt like she could do anything. 

By then, the two had worked together to take down all of those "things," creating a peaceful environment in this apocalyptic world.
