Chapter 420 Power Always Comes at a Price
Power comes at a price.
Especially when trying to acquire power that doesn't belong to you, this price is unavoidable.
Now, Roman feels that this statement might be too simplistic.
According to Bar and Barbara, one's own body can be seen as a kind of universal seed.
Theoretically speaking, the seed of Roman can bloom into all sorts of flowers.
If she is strong enough, she can wield even more power.
However, the Ice Crystal Flower and the Sunflower have incorporated other powers.
If Roman wants to take advantage of this, then the risks are unavoidable.
This risk can be specifically manifested in "rejection reaction".
If the integration of other plants with her body is over 99.9%, then the integration of these two variants with her body is probably not even up to the passing grade.
However, after consulting the data, Barbara and Barr did not deny the possibility that Roman could control them.
However, she has to pay a price for it.
Looking out at the vast sea, Roman took a deep breath.
Looking at the two little figures beside her, she had already made up her mind.
"I'm ready."
As he finished speaking, Baal handed Roman a crystal flower.
Feeling the cold touch on his hands, Roman's body began to turn into a plant.
However, the reaction of the ice crystal flower was clearly greater.
The power of Roman's phytotransformation clearly stimulated it.
It began to grow enormous, spreading from Roman.
First, there's the grass where Roman is standing.
They then began their march towards the sea.
Gradually, the area within sight began to be replaced by ice.
And this range is constantly expanding.
Meanwhile, Roman's plant-like body began to be continuously devoured by the ice.
"Stop." Perhaps sensing something was wrong, Baal quickly called for a halt.
Roman's body then began to return to normal.
At the same time, the ice on her body began to break apart piece by piece and fall to the ground.
The rate at which the ice, which was still expanding in the distance, was encroaching also began to slow down, until it stopped expanding completely.
The matter was eventually resolved.
"As expected, the Ice Crystal Flower possesses immense power, allowing you to unleash abilities you didn't originally have. You can almost freeze the ocean like a user of the Ice-Ice Fruit, but there's a rejection reaction." Baal's voice was anxious.
As someone with the ability, Roman understood Baal's meaning even better.
She raised her right hand.
The area above is already red and swollen.
Without a doubt, this is frostbite.
And it was quite cold.
She's different from Aokiji; she's not a cryogenically frozen person after all.
When she unleashes the power of the Ice Crystal Flower, the ice that assaults her body will cause harm.
Fortunately, she also has the ability to heal herself, even though she is in a vegetative state.
Under the sunlight, the redness and swelling on her body began to gradually subside.
And the vitality and life-restoring ability within her body began to circulate in the injured area.
Her frostbitten arms are also gradually recovering.
"How long?" Baal looked at Barbara.
“30 seconds.” Barbara replied, glancing at her watch.
"How are you feeling right now?" Barr then looked at Roman.
"I feel cold all over. It was only after you guys reminded me that I started to feel it," Roman said, checking his body temperature.
She didn't feel anything when she used her abilities.
Not to mention the pain.
She simply felt a strange force transforming her bones.
And she unleashed her power as if it were out of control.
That overflowing energy is truly captivating.
She only snapped out of her daze when Baal spoke up to remind her.
After pulling back from the brink, she soon began to feel physical pain.
It is the pain of being eroded by ice.
She was completely oblivious until Barr called a halt.
When she finally reacted, she realized that she was already injured.
The cold seeped into her body.
“It seems to be less severe than we thought.” Bar and Barbara examined Roman’s body closely and found that Roman’s injuries were not as serious as expected.
"It must be the plant part that's working." Roman had a feeling about this.
Considering the power of the Ice-Ice Fruit, her injuries were actually quite minor.
At least she had seen how Aokiji used her abilities.
Those he froze were probably more seriously injured.
Cold was the natural enemy of ancient humans.
"This is both good news and bad news," Barbara said, frowning.
"How to say?"
"Its plant-based components give you the ability to control it, which in turn lessens the backlash; however, it seems to weaken your perception of its damage."
Barbara and Barr quickly summarized the situation.
The power of the Ice Crystal Flower is enough to allow Roman, who is not an ice-elemental user, to use ice abilities on a large scale.
However, the longer the usage time and the greater the intensity of use, the greater the damage to Roman himself.
Because of the partial fusion, Roman couldn't immediately feel the damage from the feedback.
In other words, it would be very dangerous for Roman, who lacked practical experience with Ice Crystal Flowers, to use this ability in the initial stages.
Because she may be so severely injured by her own manic and hidden power that she is unaware of it.
Once the critical value is exceeded, Roman himself will suffer a backlash from the power of his mania.
