...

I'll be damned! I need a million points!?

Caleb couldn't help but feel dizzy seeing the strings of zeroes on his screen. Just how long would it take for him to ascend to grade 5 now?

Fortunately, along with the increase in physical strength. The absorption also increases. Previously, he could already passively gain 500 taboo energy units. Now, he doesn't know how much increase he got. The only way to know was tomorrow.

Along with his ascension. His spirit and physical attributes increased as usual. And the two finally reached an equilibrium. An equal number of 1000 units! It could be said that in terms of mind and body, he was now 200x more powerful than before. Or it could be said that he has the strength of 200 adults combined physically and mentally. Such strength... Even a sniper rifle might not be able to penetrate his skin now. Even if they use armor-piercing bullets... Of course, if it was a nuclear bomb, He would still die in oblivion. He's not as strong as Superman yet, after all. Though it would be different if he used Hardening II!

As he thought of this, Caleb took a deep breath and clicked the Hardening II with a mental command.

[Hardening II- The time slime had detected an anomaly and decided to rework this ability. Instead of increasing the defense of the user base on the ranks of metals. It would instead multiply the user's comprehensive body defense exponentially (Resistance to energy/elemental attacks and physical attacks). Hardening II simply multiplies the host's base defense by 20x]

'Huh? Rework? Just like in games?? Why rework it though? Silver and Gold works just fine...' Caleb was a little confused for a moment before it clicked in his mind.

Right! Silver and gold were not much different in terms of toughness. It would have been flawed.

'So the time slime could also make an error?'

Luckily, it could also correct itself without his intervention. Not to mention, the rework actually works in his favor! 20x increase in defense!? What concept is that!? It sounds simple and rude but the increase in defense of 20x was just cheating! Just think of Saiyan multiplier forms. Multiplier powers are just heaven-defying and one of the powers that are sought. Although it only multiplies his defense. It would be a huge help and would play a role in the future that would increase his survivability.

If he can't survive earlier from the atomic bomb without activating the hardening. He might be able to barely survive now if he activates it!

Caleb couldn't help but sigh. 'What a crazy ability...'

Isn't it crazy? His physical attributes were 1000. That makes his defense 1000 points if put numerically. Then, multiply the 1000 by 20x. It would be 20,000! It means that he's 4000 times tougher than adult humans or he has the defense of 4,000 adult humans compressed atomically together. What compressed atomically means is it you would place 4000 humans in a confined space and would compress them all into one human body! Literally fusion! That means that the cellular density would have reached an astonishing degree, thereby increasing defense!

'Maybe I don't need to run from Tier 6 destinies now? I could actually take their beating?'

Yeah, he could just stand still and let them hit him. Though they won't be able to damage him. It was also vice versa. They can't hurt him. He can't also hurt them. As for Tier 5... Those Destinies might still be able to harm him.

'Welp, it's not good to speculate since I haven't tried my defense personally against them yet. It seems I need to try fighting one.' Caleb chuckled.

Fortunately, the others were still sleeping so they won't see what he was doing. Even if they see him. They wouldn't see the interface of his status. They would just think that he was staring at the damned air...

Caleb then proceeded to click the new ability that he got from his ascension. With a mental command, the description of the new ability popped up on his screen.

[Color Manipulation (Limited) (Active)- This ability enables the user to manipulate the color of his body and the color of Gum Gum Rubber Substance to any color. The ability cannot affect the surrounding environment.]

Such a simple description made Caleb think for a while. Changing the colors of his body and Gum Gum Rubber? In terms of battle, it doesn't seem to have much help. However, changing the color of his body parts, such as his hair, eyes, skin, etc... Would help him disguise himself more easily.

As Caleb thought of this. He stood up on his bed and walked carefully to the mirror nearby. He made sure to watch his step to avoid waking up the bastard sleeping on the floor. As he neared the mirror, he saw Kiddo sleeping soundly with saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth.

'What is he dreaming about?'

Caleb mused before he directed his attention to his goal. In the mirror, Caleb saw his black hair turn white as he willed so. Just like that, his hair transitioned color after color; Red, blue, brown, blonde, purple, green, etc... All the colors of the rainbow. Primary colors, secondary colors, and even tertiary colors are available!

Then he also did it with his eyes and skin. He felt like he had become an alien as randomly changed the colors of his body parts.

'Neat...'

Caleb smirked. Although it's not an ability he had expected to get. He was satisfied with it. He already had a lot of abilities. This time, color manipulation could be said an auxiliary ability that would help him disguise, infiltrate, and fool others in the future. Not to mention, he could combine color manipulation and his gum gum rubber substance to become a master in disguise!

Since he could manipulate his gum gum rubber substance into any form. He would be able a visual illusion similar to real things.

For example, he could shape the gum gum rubber into a gun, clothes, objects, etc... That he wants. Without color manipulation, the things created by gum gum rubber would only be purple. But now, the item created would finally look like the real thing! At least visually... After all, even if he makes a gun. It won't function like a gun since it's just a gum gum rubber. Lastly, he would also be able to change his body shape and height using it. He would just make them appear like a part of his body and use the stickiness of gum gum rubber to attach them to himself. He might even be able to manipulate his facial features by creating a mask out of gum gum rubber and changing their color. He would be able to copy anyone's face!

'From now on. I should be called faceless or a thousand faces...'

Caleb let out a soft chuckle. Still, he prefers his original face as the default. He would only change his appearance when needed or when on a mission.
