[You have successfully unlocked a new profession—Devourer!]

[Bizarre Value +2000!]

The next second...

The [Glutton's Heart] in front of Chen Ye was slowly merging with him.

Suddenly, a scorching sensation like a burning flame continuously surged from the heart in his chest.

Thump, thump!

Thump, thump!

The dull, heavy sound of a heartbeat suddenly rang out, clearly audible in the silent, pitch-black night.

This was the first time Chen Ye had ever heard his own heartbeat. The vibration seemed to pierce through his entire body, causing even his eardrums to pulsate in rhythm with the heartbeat.

Vaguely, an unusual sensation came from the esophagus in his throat, slowly swelling and expanding, accompanied by a similar feeling in his stomach and intestines, as if they were turning into a balloon being continuously inflated...

The burning sensation emerging from his heart gradually spread throughout his entire body, reaching straight to his face.

At this moment, Chen Ye felt the flesh across his entire face twitching bizarrely and writhing slowly, as if centipedes were crawling inside his blood vessels.

The blood vessels on his face bulged at times and sank at others. Even his eye sockets bulged outward, the whites of his eyes laced with protruding blood vessels that became clearly visible in intricate patterns after stretching.

Boom!

The next second, centered around his nose, his entire face suddenly split apart, turning into fluttering strips of willow catkins made of flesh and blood. However, along the edge of every single catkin was a row of sharp teeth arranged in a vortex pattern, forming a giant, abyss-like maw.

Those "catkins" spun in mid-air at an extremely high speed, resembling a turbine blender.

Amidst the rotation, the sharp teeth could rapidly shred any food within the maw, including arms, skulls, and any hard iron objects.

Chen Ye's two eyes were separated by the fission, positioned respectively at the front and back of his head. His field of vision underwent a magical change, allowing him to clearly perceive everything around him in a 360-degree radius.

At this moment, he felt as though countless "hands" were growing on his face.

Every single "hand" could be controlled by independent nerves, moving flexibly and responding effortlessly to his will.

He tried controlling the flesh catkins, whipping them around to simulate an attack on an enemy in front of him.

A piece of gravel ahead was struck by the flesh catkin and instantly shattered into pieces!

The destructive power was even stronger than when he had consumed the minced meat pancake earlier!

Moreover, the number of catkins was vast, and they could launch attacks simultaneously, making their power far more terrifying than one could imagine.

As Chen Ye controlled all the "hands" to converge toward the center...

In the blink of an eye, all the catkin-like flesh and blood rapidly reassembled, transforming back into Chen Ye's normal appearance.

He reached up and touched his face; his facial features were as delicate as ever, completely devoid of any sense of mutation.

With another thought in his mind...

The flesh and blood across his entire face suddenly began to writhe again, but instead of splitting into scattered, fluttering "catkins," it transformed into the appearance of a stern-looking young man.

It was precisely the human face Chen Ye had drawn the first time he used Skinning.

Writhening once more, it shifted into the innocent, youthful visage he had worn the last time he went to Xijiang to converse with Alloy.

Beyond that...

Chen Ye could also freely transform into the faces of an infant, an elderly person, or even a woman.

After successfully unlocking the [Devourer] profession, he no longer needed to paint faces and could alter his appearance entirely at will.

This saved a vast amount of time previously spent on drawing.

"I never expected that, after all, I'd transform from a wanderer into the image of a model citizen."

Chen Ye shook his head with a smile, recalling the first indigenous person he encountered after the Bloody Descent, feeling a sense of the impermanence of life.

Subsequently,

he opened his bloody phone and checked his current panel statistics—

.........

Chen Ye's gaze landed on the new professional trait—[Devourer].

Soon, the descriptions of the three traits belonging to [Devourer] manifested right in the center of the screen.

[Fission]: Your face can freely split apart, transforming into a massive maw. Naturally, due to its extreme flexibility, it can morph into any shape you desire.

[Devour]: Upon complete fission, you will gain a row of sharp teeth capable of shredding all objects, possessing formidable devouring capabilities while ignoring any negative effects of consumed foods.

[Violence]: You possess greater physical strength than ordinary people, making it easier to grow stronger. Furthermore, your physical strength can be applied to your fissioned maw, allowing you to use it to destroy surrounding objects.

"I didn't expect to unlock a second professional identity so quickly," Chen Ye muttered inwardly with a sense of emotion.

The newly unlocked [Devourer] was a purely combat-oriented profession, and furthermore, because it integrated two distinct traits, it was even stronger than the basic [Glutton]!

Generally speaking, a [Glutton] could swallow all sorts of objects, including ironware.

Its body would acquire physical strength superior to ordinary people, and depending on the "foreign objects" it usually consumed, it would grow corresponding offensive appendages, much like the chainsaw-wielding fellow he had encountered before.

However, the [Devourer] incorporated the trait of [Skinning], thereby acquiring [Fission].

When the face split entirely open, it would turn into a massive maw lined with razor-sharp teeth. If anyone dared to throw a punch at his face, Chen Ye would let them experience what it meant to "punch a blender."

Unlike the [Glutton], there was no need to consume bizarre objects to grow bodily weapons.

The maw of the [Devourer] was its most powerful weapon, and it was far more flexible.

At the same time, the functional characteristics of [Skinning] had not disappeared; instead, they had been enhanced.

There was no longer any need to paint a face; simply causing the structural tissue of the facial organs to writhe allowed him to assume any desired appearance.

The final [Violence] trait granted Chen Ye strength surpassing that of ordinary individuals.

Moreover, this strength could be synchronized directly to the fissioned maw.

As his strength increased, the maw could expand further, the catkins would grow longer, and the vortex center of the blender would widen.

A fully developed, ultimate-form [Devourer] could obliterate a house as easily as eating and drinking.

"At my current devouring speed, let alone a single minced meat pancake, I could swallow ten of them in one go!"

"When fighting others, the opponent might not even clearly see the action of me eating, and the minced meat pancake would already be in my stomach, instantly spiking my explosive combat power."

"Furthermore, this strength can even be synchronized to the fissioned maw for a devastating burst of power!"

"Looking at it this way, my current combat effectiveness doesn't seem weak at all!"

Chen Ye mentally simulated the practical combat techniques of the [Devourer], realizing that these traits happened to synergize perfectly with the newly developed minced meat pancake. His eyes lit up involuntarily.
