The United States has many private farms.
After Rod placed his order.
Early the next morning, a healthy Belgian Blue cow was delivered from a nearby farm.
Looking at the Belgian Blue cow in front of him, its body covered in muscles, even more exaggerated than a bodybuilder.
Just standing quietly, it gave off an intimidating pressure.
In terms of size alone, this Belgian Blue cow was 30% larger than an ordinary beef cow, and its muscle content was extremely high, far exceeding its peers.
Both its endurance and strength were exceptional.
Of course, the price was also much higher than that of ordinary beef cattle.
Rod directly placed his hand on the cow.
“This is the first time I’ve sacrificed a living thing, I wonder if it will work.”
Sacrifice!
As a burst of light bloomed in his hand.
The Belgian Blue cow in front of him began to dissolve, starting with its flesh, bones, and internal organs.
Until finally, even its soul was sacrificed.
The entire process was completed in an instant, without any pain.
As the Belgian Blue cow was sacrificed, Rod instantly felt a powerful force surging through his body.
With every breath, the power increased.
After a few minutes, the surging power stabilized.
Rod opened his eyes and slowly clenched his fist.
He felt his strength soar to an incredibly exaggerated level.
“My clothes are getting too small.”
Rod looked down at his pants. The pants that were originally just right were now a bit short.
He wasn't short to begin with, standing at six feet tall.
After sacrificing the cow, his height grew to over six feet three inches.
In the United States, this was considered tall.
Rod took off his shirt and walked into the bathroom.
He looked at himself in the mirror.
Sharp features, strong lines.
Proportioned body, broad shoulders and narrow waist, every inch of his body radiated an aura of power.
The thick scent of hormones seemed to be explaining what it truly meant to be a man.
The belly that used to have some fat was now all transformed into a set of well-defined abs.
As if he had spent decades training in the gym.
The full, developed muscle lines all over his body, as strong and tough as a bull, even looking at him from a distance, one could feel that strong sense of pressure.
Rod stroked his chin, suddenly feeling like he had a JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure character vibe.
Besides gaining a powerful physique, he had also awakened a special ability by sacrificing the Belgian Blue cow.
Berserk!
Silently reciting the word, Rod shivered.
The next second, his blood began to flow rapidly, as if it were filled with a pump.
The beating of his heart was like a dull drum beat echoing in his ears, getting faster and faster.
Rod saw himself in the mirror, his eyes bloodshot, and his skin gradually turning crimson.
The muscles all over his body inflated as if they were filled with air.
In the blink of an eye, his height surged to almost seven feet.
And as the price, his sanity was gradually being replaced by a wild beastly nature as time passed.
His swollen body slowly shrunk back to its original size, Rod gasped for breath, his body aching all over.
In these short few minutes, he felt as if he had consumed half of his physical strength.
In the Berserk state, his physique would erupt in growth, his strength and defense could reach two to three times that of his normal state.
But as the price, his sanity would be significantly weakened, and his physical consumption would also increase exponentially.
After Berserk ended, there would be a half-hour period of weakness.
Although there were many side effects, in a crucial moment, this ability was enough to change the outcome.
However, with his current strength, he could only sustain the Berserk state for a maximum of ten minutes before exhausting all his physical strength.
Therefore, this ability could only be used in critical situations.
“With my current strength, I should be able to explore the other side of the Time-Space Gate.”
Feeling the increase in strength, Rod’s confidence soared.
Although he didn't know what was on the other side of the Time-Space Gate.
But with his current strength, even if he encountered any danger, he could still escape safely.
However, just in case, it would be best to prepare a few more things.
Most parts of the United States don't prohibit firearms, but buying firearms requires a gun license and a purchase permit.
He happened to have both.
Driving to the gun shop.
He bought one of every type of firearm, including handguns, shotguns, automatic rifles, and sniper rifles.
He also bought several boxes of different types of bullets, all of which he threw into his dimensional space.
The United States does not restrict the number of firearms one can possess.
However, after purchasing, one must register them at a designated place.
Rod originally wanted to get a few boxes of grenades to put in his dimensional space, but unfortunately, these are military supplies that are simply unavailable through regular channels.
He could only give up with regret.
Machetes, daggers, combat uniforms.
He spent half a day preparing all the things he might need and put them into his dimensional space.
He slept for another night, restoring his energy to peak condition.
Rod called his teacher and took a three-day leave.
Making sure there were no oversights, he took a deep breath and opened the Time-Space Gate.
Whoosh!
As the Time-Space Gate opened, a semi-transparent spatial crack appeared before him.
Holding a double-barreled shotgun, Rod slowly walked into the Time-Space Gate.
