Reborn As A Giant Scorpion: Evolution By Consumption Chapter 35
Advertisement
The swordfish was the fastest creature in the sea.
In front of it was a long and sharp upper jaw. When it found its prey, it would rush fast and use its long upper jaw to stab into its prey's body.
Moreover, the swordfish was fierce. After it found Alex, it did not retreat but swam towards him.
"This fish treated me as its prey." Alex felt that it was a little ridiculous.
Suddenly, the swordfish's speed began to accelerate and it attacked Alex.
After it accelerated, the swordfish's speed increased from 60 kilometers to 120 kilometers per hour.
Alex quietly waited for the swordfish.
When the swordfish was less than 10 meters away from him, Alex activated the electric shield.
The "Electric shield" ability evolved from swallowing the electric eel. At first, the voltage was only 100 volts, but as Alex's ability grew, the voltage also increased to 360 volts.
In an instant, it could make the prey lose the ability to fight.
When Alex activated the electric shield, the charging swordfish shivered from the shock.
Alex bit the swordfish and began to enjoy the food in his mouth.
He devoured the swordfish in just ten minutes.
However, the swordfish only provided him with 98 evolution energy points.
Alex was highly dissatisfied.
This swordfish was three meters long and weighed more than 200 kilograms, which was more than three times that of a human. It only had this little energy.
When he devoured humans for the first time, he had obtained 400 evolution points.
Although the evolution points slowly decreased as he devoured more, this was his first time eating a swordfish. However, he only got 98 evolution points, which was indeed a little low.
'Maybe I should try a shark that is bigger and fiercer than a Swordfish,' Alex thought.
When mentioning sharks, Alex first thought of the great white shark in the ocean.

Great white sharks were also called man-eating sharks. They were the largest predatory fish on the planet.
Adult great white sharks could grow to more than five meters long and weigh two tons. Some genetically superior great white sharks could grow to seven meters long and weigh more than three tons.
With such a huge body size, no other fish in the ocean could compete with great white sharks.
The great white shark had sharp triangular teeth, which were 10 centimeters long, and could easily tear apart the muscles of other prey.
However, in the past 100 years, due to human hunting, the number of great white sharks had declined sharply. There were only a few thousand of them in the world now.
These thousands of great white sharks mostly lived in the Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, and the Indian Ocean, so it was not easy for Alex to find a great white shark to taste it.
However, on the second day after entering the Atlantic Ocean, Alex met another famous shark in the ocean, the tiger shark.
Usually, tiger sharks were between 3-4 meters in length and weighed between 400-600 kilograms, but some larger ones would grow to more than five meters and weigh more than 900 kilograms.
Although tiger sharks were not as big as great white sharks, they were unusually fierce.
Even young tiger sharks were violent. They often devoured their clansmen.
There was once a scientist who was dissecting a female tiger shark for research. A baby shark in its stomach accidentally bit his finger off.
Adult tiger sharks were social animals. They often formed a group of several or even dozens. Very few prey could escape their hunt.
This time, Alex encountered a group of four young tiger sharks.
The smell of tuna blood probably attracted them because Alex was devouring a tuna.
The result of this battle was for certain. Alex completely crushed the group of tiger sharks.

Although he only used 30 seconds to kill the four tiger sharks, it took half an hour to devour them.
After devouring the first tiger shark, the evolution energy in Alex's body increased by 86 points, and then the energy received decreased to 63, then39 points. By the time he ate the fourth tiger shark, it had already become pitiful 17 points.
The four tiger sharks had contributed a total of 205 evolution points to Alex. Adding on the 98 evolution points he had gained from devouring the swordfish, the evolution energy in Alex's body now was 6,324 evolution points.
He was still 3,676 evolution points away from the fifth evolution.
Alex continued swimming to the depths of the Atlantic Ocean at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour.
Every two hours, he would stop to hunt once and then continue swimming for another two hours, repeating the cycle.
Of course, if he met a suitable prey along the way, Alex did not mind stopping to have a meal.
As night fell, the heavy darkness covered the entire sea.
If it was near the shore, one could still see the lights on the passing ships or fishing boats.
But this was the boundless sea. The probability of encountering a ship in the sea was very low, but nothing in the world was absolute.
Alex met a luxury cruise liner. This cruise ship was huge. It was more than 200 meters long and about 30 meters wide. There were many decks on the cruise ship, and the entire ship was decorated magnificently.
It was like a moving palace in the ocean.
Logically speaking, there would be a lot of activities on such a luxury cruise ship. At night, it was time to look at the moon on the deck and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
But now, it was hushed. There was not even a single light.
It floated silently on the ocean, like a dark ghost.
Alex swam towards the cruise ship curiously. When he was still a hundred meters away from the cruise ship, he smelled a faint scent of blood.
As he got closer, Alex came to the bottom of the cruise ship. An even thicker scent of blood assaulted his nose.
The scent of blood was extremely thick as if he had entered a slaughterhouse.
"What's going on?" Alex was puzzled.
How could there be such a bloody smell in the cruise ship? Alex decided to go up and take a look.
Alex jumped up suddenly, jumping more than ten meters high. With eight claws, he landed on the deck of the cruise ship. Someone had destroyed the door here.
He entered the hall. It was black. Even after four evolutions, Alex could only see four to five meters around him. The hall was a mess. Someone or something had destroyed the tables, chairs, and everything.
The ground was covered in blood, giving off a strong smell of blood.
"Could it be that it had met pirates?"Alex thought.
But in the next moment, he denied this thought. A pirate could not have covered the ceiling with blood, and judging by the extent of the damage, it did not seem to be done by humans.
The most important thing was that there were no corpses on the ship.
If it were pirates who killed people, it was mainly for the sake of money. Even if some people resisted, killing those who fought would not result in blood splattering everywhere.
However, blood almost covered all of the hall. The hull, floor, and glass... as long as there was a visible spot, there were bright red blood stains everywhere.

Alviona (undergoing Rewrite).
This fiction is going to undergo severe Editing and a Rewrite over next few months. Here is what it hopes to accomplish: 1) Fix the glaring issues from Style in every chapter 1-31 (Dialogues, POV switches and Head-hopping too much) 2) Add some new chapters in and justify the development between Sofia and Anita 3) Remove the info dumps and make it more organic 4) Finalize the genres that this fiction belongs to 5) Create warning in the synopsis relating to the contents of the fiction. 6) Overhaul and show what Mira's view on Alviona is (slowly) 7) Introduce new characters 8) Show chapters the way they were intended, as clues apparently were not visible at all! 9) Make Alviona a bit more serious. 10) Make me (Author) enjoy reading my own work more (yes! :)) Hi. I have been gone for quite a long while. With heart surgery and such that has happened two months ago, I had not had a chance to log on RR due to being hospitalized. I had some other issues that the admins were kind enough to deal with on this fiction. It's good to see everything in one piece. The synopsis has been removed. Chapter 1 should be coming out sometimes before christmas. A lot has changed. I hope for the better. Instead of edits, I have re-read every single chapter and found it to be unsatisfying. A lot did not make sense and unless you have previously speculated what Alviona is, many things she does won't fall into pieces. Well then, time to address all of this. Ladies and gentlelmen, this fiction is undergoing a full scale re-write. While the characters and developments stay the same, it's being done differently. So much that the world should feel darker as it should have been. For those who have stuck around and know the story: Awesome. I worked hard on this, and hope that you will like my re-write. For thos that are new: Welcome. Give me some time, as I am super sluggish. I don't know much time is some time, but I gurantee chapter 1 will be up before Christmas. This said, again, thank you and know that I am back. And that this fiction will be completed. AT ANY COST. I will update synopsis after I post chapter 1. I might post Alviona (revised, as this current one is far too.... simplified, watered down, and dissapointing version of it) seperately. Those that want this, here. But I don't want to add chapter 40. It won't make sense without the backup and world-building of re-write. It will piss myself off. Now then, let's write hm? *This beautiful piece of art is provided by Charee from DeviantArt* https://www.deviantart.com/chalii
