[The Silverback Gorilla gene "Muscle Density Lv5" has advanced to "Steel Muscle Lv1 (0/1000)". Muscle density x5, strength akin to steel.]

[The Beetle gene "Hundredfold Explosive Power Lv5" has been upgraded to "Thousandfold Explosive Power Lv1 (0/1000)". Burst power up to 1000x body weight]

[The Gray Wolf gene "Endurance Enhancement Lv5" has evolved into "Internal Organ Enhancement Lv1 (0/1000)". Organs strength increase, boosts vitality, slows aging, grants poison immunity]

[The African Spiny Rat gene "Fast Self-Healing Lv5" has been upgraded to "High-Speed Regeneration Lv1 (0/1000)". 5x faster healing, regenerates limbs and organs]

It was unclear how long the fusion process lasted, but eventually, the integration of multiple animal genes came to an end.

"Roar—!!"

Jack opened his eyes and let out a thunderous roar that sent a shockwave across the coast of Isla Sorna Island.

The searing pain in his muscles, organs, and every part of his body gradually faded.

"Open data panel."

[Name]: Jack

[Age]: 10 months

[Species]: Indominus Rex (Male)

[Life Level]: Exotic

[Physical Data]: Length – 30 meters | Height – 15 meters | Weight – 1000 tons

[Fused Genes]: Silverback Gorilla, Beetle, Gray Wolf, African Spiny Rat, ...

[Genetic Abilities]: Steel Muscle Lv1, Thousandfold Explosive Power Lv1, Internal Organ Enhancement Lv1, High-Speed Regeneration Lv1, ...

[Gene Points]: 11,300

As expected, while his size remained the same, Jack's weight had doubled to over a thousand tons due to the dramatic increase in muscle density.

With the Thousandfold Explosive Power ability, he could unleash up to a million tons of force instantly.

His internal organs had become immensely powerful: the heart pumped blood more efficiently, the liver secreted vital chemicals, the spleen supported energy transformation, the lungs handled oxygen exchange at higher capacity, and the kidneys regulated water and toxins more effectively.

These organs were not only stronger but also highly resistant to abnormal conditions.

Thanks to his High-Speed Regeneration ability, as long as his body wasn't destroyed, he could recover from nearly any injury, regenerating tissue, organs, and even limbs at rapid speed.

By now, Jack had fused genes from 18 different animals.

Managing them individually was too complex, so he categorized them into two types: main genes and sub-genes.

The main genes enhanced his physical structure—his body shape, skin, muscles, bones, organs, teeth, claws, horns, wings, and tail.

Nearly every part of his body was covered.

The sub-genes provided auxiliary abilities: high-speed movement, accelerated growth, phantom camouflage, multi-band invisibility, telepathic perception, sonic attacks, and, of course, high-speed regeneration.

Together, they made him a complete and terrifying biological force.

For now, Jack's priority remained strengthening the main genes, as it was the foundation of his power.

He allocated his remaining gene points into "Infinite Growth Lv1 (0/1000)", pushing the evolution of his physical form one step further.

[The Brachiosaurus gene "Unlimited Growth Lv1" has advanced to Lv2. Body length has increased to 40 meters, and weight has reached 2,000 tons.]

[The Brachiosaurus gene "Unlimited Growth Lv2" has advanced to Lv3. Body length has increased to 50 meters, and weight has reached 5,000 tons.]

Jack's body expanded once more. Every part of him experienced another explosive growth spurt.

Eventually, his length reached 50 meters, his height surpassed 25 meters—taller than a seven-story building—and his weight soared to 5,000 tons, rivaling that of a conventional destroyer.

Upgrading [Unlimited Growth] by just two levels had cost him 6,000 gene points.

With the remaining 5,000 gene points, Jack strengthened the following abilities:

[Steel Armor] – enhanced his skin's durability.

[Iron Muscle] – doubled the strength of his already formidable muscles.

[Copper Skull and Iron Bones] – reinforced his skeleton to withstand extreme pressure.

[Steel Shark Teeth] – gave his teeth unmatched cutting power.

[Steel Sickle Claws] – sharpened and reinforced his claws for lethal slashing power.

These upgrades significantly boosted both his offensive and defensive capabilities.

After nearly exhausting his remaining gene points, Jack returned to reality and resumed patrolling the Island.

He quickly discovered that the island was nearly devoid of other creatures—most had been wiped out by the three violent beasts he'd encountered earlier.

Even so, the overall ecological environment of Isla Sorna remained largely intact.

Since the Jurassic Park disaster of 1993, the island had been abandoned and untouched by humans.

As a result, its ecosystem had naturally stabilized over the decades, making it an ideal habitat for dinosaurs.

Jack was already considering making Sorna his secondary base.

He planned to migrate more dinosaurs here from other areas slowly over time.

"It's almost time."

As dusk fell, Jack didn't linger. He unfurled a massive pair of dragon wings—each with a wingspan of 150 meters—and launched himself into the sky with a single powerful flap.

Carrying the corpses of the three violent beasts, he soared away from the Island, returning to Isla Nublar.

Bravo Castle, Bermuda – Monarch Headquarters

As more monsters began appearing around the globe, Monarch could no longer remain hidden in the shadows.

It stepped into the global spotlight, drawing attention—and responsibility—on a massive scale.

To meet these challenges, Monarch had established independent military forces, free from the authority of any one nation.

At this moment, the organization's headquarters was in complete disarray.

"According to the latest data," a lead scientist reported urgently, "ever since Caesar led the ape uprising two years ago, and the genetically engineered drug ALZ-113—developed by the San Francisco biotech company Gen-Sys—was leaked, a new viral strain has been spreading rapidly."

"This virus, now known as Simian Flu, is highly contagious. It promotes advanced intellectual development in apes but is devastating to humans. Infected individuals suffer severe respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms, and the survival rate is only one in five hundred."

"As of this morning, global deaths from Simian Flu have surpassed one billion. Nations worldwide enforce strict containment policies and funnel resources into vaccine development."

The room fell silent at the grim statistics.

Moments later, another officer reported gravely:

"We've just received intel from Outpost No. 10 in Gouwu Mountain, Dragon Nation. According to ancient records and current scans, the mythical beast Taotie reincarnates every few years—and each time, it emerges larger and more powerful than before."

"The Taotie soldiers in this reincarnation are all over 10 meters long, with skin as tough as steel. Their former weakness—immobility near magnets—has vanished. The only remaining vulnerability is a soft spot beneath their armpits, specifically at the eyes located there. Conventional bullets have little to no effect unless that exact point is hit."

"As for the Taotie Beast King, its current whereabouts remain unknown. We know that it possesses extraordinary intelligence and has never shown itself directly. It operates from the shadows, continually spawning more beast soldiers and relocating its lair at will. So far, all efforts to pinpoint its location have failed."

"The number of Taotie soldiers has now surpassed 100,000. They've spread from the northern reaches of the Great Wall in the China to North and Central Asia, resulting in millions of human casualties."

...

"In addition," another analyst spoke grimly, "ever since the thermocline deep within the Mariana Trench was disrupted, our Pacific outposts have detected a surge of prehistoric marine activity. Large numbers of megalodons and other giant marine predators have been sighted."

"Several ships passing through the region have been attacked, resulting in significant loss of life and property."

"Based on our current analysis, the Mariana Trench may serve as a gateway to an Inner World. These prehistoric sea monsters likely originated there and are now crossing into the surface world."
