Chương 418: The next meal

A long time ago, Ryan had been told that his Altered was special. It was normal for people to say this to their child but in his case, it was more true than others. His Altered form had come from a rare beast that was related to the Silverback Gorilla. Those great apes were one of the most natural and strongest beasts in the current world. Although many might argue about lions being the ones deserving of the title ‘king of the jungle’, without a doubt gorillas could claim that crown if they wanted.

The reason they didn’t was that most gorillas were peaceful by nature. Nevertheless, in terms of strength, a regular gorilla could match nearly two dozen humans combined. Now, take their ancestors, who had been far bigger in size and more ferocious and use its DNA to create an Altered, and the result would be an apex predator, especially in the right hands. This was what Ryan had been taught.
