Each of the talents possessed terrifying amplification abilities that far exceeded ordinary transformations. Every single one carried enough raw potential to overturn battles between higher realm experts. Even before merging them, Alex could already sense how absurdly valuable they were.

Alex narrowed his eyes thoughtfully as he studied the talents floating before him. A faint smile slowly appeared on his face, and excitement flickered deep within his gaze. He could already imagine the outcome if these powers were fused together.

"Great," he muttered softly.

Then his smile widened slightly.

"Let’s merge them."

The command echoed in his mind the moment he issued it to the system. Instantly, a flood of brilliant light erupted before him as the talents began to combine one after another. The surrounding space trembled violently from the pressure released during the process.

[Ding! Three Genesis Grade talents have been merged and a Chaos Grade talent has been formed.]

The notification rang out clearly inside his head. Before Alex could even process the first message, another one followed immediately.

[Ding! Three Genesis Grade talents have been merged and a Chaos Grade talent has been formed.]

The process continued without pause.

[Ding! Three Genesis Grade talents have been merged and a Chaos Grade talent has been formed.]

[Ding! Three Genesis Grade talents have been merged and a Chaos Grade talent has been formed.]

[Ding! Three Genesis Grade talents have been merged and a Chaos Grade talent has been formed.]

When the fusion finally stopped, Alex inhaled deeply while staring at the five newly created talents hovering before him. These abilities were completely different from the previous Genesis Grade transformations.

Then another system notification appeared before his eyes.

[Ding! Five Chaos Grade talents detected. They can be merged.]

Alex stared at the message silently for a moment before slowly releasing a long breath. Relief spread across his face, followed by intense excitement. His eyes gleamed sharply as countless thoughts raced through his mind.

Now he truly wanted to know the answer.

What exactly existed above Chaos Grade?

Without hesitating any longer, he immediately issued another command.

"Merge them."

The system suddenly became silent. Unlike before, the fusion did not begin immediately. Several seconds passed quietly, causing Alex to frown slightly in confusion.

Then another notification appeared.

[Ding! What kind of transformation does the host wish to obtain?]

Alex blinked in surprise.

"Huh?"

"I can choose?"

Curiosity instantly filled his expression. He had expected the system to create a random talent automatically, but apparently this level of fusion worked differently.

Then he asked calmly, "What do you suggest?"

The system answered without delay.

[Ding! System suggests Arch Angel Transformation.]

Alex raised an eyebrow slightly after hearing the recommendation. He did not interrupt and allowed the system to continue explaining.

[Host possesses relations with the Angel Race. This transformation may prove extremely useful in the future.]

The explanation caused Alex to become thoughtful. His connection with the Angel Race was indeed unusual, and a transformation related to them could provide countless future advantages.

The system continued speaking.

[Celestial Grade represents the highest level of talent any being below the Absolute Reality Realm can naturally possess.]

Alex’s expression changed slightly after hearing that information. Even he had not expected Celestial Grade to stand at such an absurdly high level. If this was truly the peak talent beneath the Absolute Reality Realm, then the resulting ability would undoubtedly surpass all his expectations.

"Hm."

"That makes sense."

He nodded calmly after thinking for a few moments.

"Go ahead."

The instant he gave permission, terrifying energy exploded throughout the area.

[Ding! Five Chaos Grade transformation talents have been merged.]

[Ding! Celestial Grade Talent formed.]

[Ding! Arch Angel Transformation acquired.]

BOOOOM!!!

The moment the talent was created, Alex’s body convulsed violently. A horrifying amount of divine energy erupted inside him without warning. The sudden force was so overwhelming that his entire body nearly collapsed instantly.

His eyes widened in shock.

Pain.

Pure, unbearable pain flooded every part of his existence.

It felt as though every cell within his body was being ripped apart before being reconstructed repeatedly. His muscles tore apart endlessly while new flesh regenerated immediately afterward. The process continued over and over without mercy.

"ARGHHHH!"

Alex roared involuntarily as golden divine energy exploded from his body in all directions. The pressure released from him shattered the nearby ground instantly. Massive cracks spread through space itself as unstable waves of light erupted around him.

Gigantic angelic wings suddenly formed behind his back. They radiated holy brilliance powerful enough to blind weaker beings instantly. However, the wings only remained for a brief moment before collapsing into countless particles of light.

His flesh cracked apart repeatedly. Bones shattered and regenerated continuously. Even his soul trembled violently under the pressure of evolution.

The surrounding beasts stared at him in complete shock. None of them had ever witnessed such a terrifying transformation before.

"Master!"

Ember panicked immediately and instinctively stepped forward. Fear filled his eyes as he watched Alex suffer through unimaginable agony.

However, the serpent quickly stopped him.

"Do not interfere," the serpent said seriously. "This is evolution."

Inside Alex’s body, the transformation continued mercilessly. The divine energy surged through every vein and every fragment of his soul. His physique was evolving at a speed that completely defied logic.

Then the system notifications began ringing endlessly.

[Ding! Ultimate Physique leveled up.]

[Ding! Ultimate Physique leveled up.]

[Ding! Ultimate Physique leveled up.]

[Ding! Ultimate Physique leveled up.]

The notifications continued one after another without stopping. Alex could barely maintain consciousness as the pain intensified repeatedly. Several times, he nearly blacked out completely.

His sanity itself began wavering under the endless torment.

Time gradually lost all meaning.

Minutes and hours became impossible to distinguish. The only thing Alex could feel was pain mixed with overwhelming power flooding into his existence. The transformation continued endlessly until even the surrounding atmosphere became unstable.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the violent energy slowly began calming down.

The divine light surrounding Alex weakened gradually before disappearing completely. The shattered space around him stabilized once again, and silence returned to the area.

Alex inhaled deeply.

Then he slowly opened his eyes.

Golden light flickered within them briefly before fading away. His gaze now carried an indescribable pressure that seemed capable of suppressing everything around him naturally.

Another notification appeared before him.

[Gene Strength: 10000x]

Alex stared silently at the message.

His previous genetic amplification had only been 3000 times. Now it had directly jumped to 10000 times after obtaining the Celestial Grade talent.

The increase was absolutely monstrous.

His body felt overwhelmingly powerful. Every movement carried unimaginable force, and even breathing felt completely different now. He could sense endless energy flowing naturally through every part of his existence.

Alex slowly clenched his fist.

Crack.

The surrounding space fractured slightly from that simple motion alone. Tiny spatial cracks appeared around his hand before healing moments later.

A grin slowly spread across his face.

"System," he said while laughing softly. "Keep merging."

His laughter gradually became slightly hysterical from excitement. The immense increase in strength made his blood boil with anticipation.

"I want more."

However, the system immediately responded.

[Ding! Host can only obtain one Celestial Grade talent through merging at the current system level.]

Alex’s smile slowly faded.

The system continued calmly.

[Ding! If the system upgrades in the future, additional Celestial Grade talents may become possible.]

[Ding! If host wishes to obtain talents above Celestial Grade, host must personally copy higher level talents.]

Alex narrowed his eyes slightly after hearing that information.

"And where would I find those?"

The answer came instantly.

[Ding! Host will not encounter such talents until interacting with Meta Existence level geniuses.]

Alex became silent for several moments.

Then a smile slowly appeared on his face once again.

"Celestial Grade talent is truly something else," he thought calmly. "If only Meta Existence level geniuses possess talents this level, then I will not encounter them anytime soon."

That realization only confirmed one thing in his mind.

At his current level, absolutely nobody could rival his talent.

The thought filled him with immense satisfaction.

"Now let me see what this Celestial Grade talent actually offers me," Alex thought excitedly.

Immediately, the system displayed the details.

[Arch Angel Transformation: User gains 1000 times strength amplification. User becomes immune to all forms of cursed energy.]

[User may revive dead individuals through light element manipulation if they have been dead for less than twelve hours.]

[Special Ability: Sword of Judgment.]

[The Sword of Judgment summons a colossal divine sword of light capable of annihilating beings one major realm above the user without conditions. The target’s karma will be erased completely, and even space-time reversal cannot resurrect them.]

Alex swallowed hard after reading the description carefully.

No wonder this was considered a Celestial Grade talent.

The abilities were terrifying beyond imagination. A guaranteed kill against beings one realm higher was already absurd enough, but permanently erasing karma and preventing resurrection through time reversal made the skill almost impossible to counter.

"Good," Alex muttered softly.

"Very good."

A dangerous smile slowly spread across his face.

"Let the hunt begin."

Then he turned toward his beasts.

"Start hunting monsters from the Star Rank regions," Alex instructed calmly. "If any of you encounter a Galactic Rank creature, notify me immediately."

While his beasts hunted, he intended to focus entirely on comprehending laws. He wanted to create his inner universe as quickly as possible because doing so would elevate his strength tremendously.

At the same time, he still needed to find Anna.

However, he knew locating her would not be easy.

"As you wish, Master," the beasts answered in unison.

Then Alex looked toward Ember thoughtfully.

"Ember, can you communicate with your parents? If they are willing, I would like to take them under my command as well."

Alex considered the matter seriously. Although they were not Primordial Beasts, they were still Galactic Realm creatures. Obtaining their support would elevate his overall strength to an entirely different level.

Ember hesitated slightly after hearing the request.

"Master, they are extremely powerful," Ember said worriedly. "Are you certain you want me to call them? What if they attack you?"

Alex simply smiled calmly.

"Do not worry," he replied confidently. "They are not my match anymore."

Then his eyes gleamed sharply.

"You can contact them."
