Bang! Bang! Bang!
Night.
The moon was clear, and the breeze was gentle.
Hyuga Sho's finishing blows continued.
On this quiet, moonlit night,
Hyuga Sho gazed at the enormous moon.
That full moon had supposedly been created by the legendary Sage of Six Paths.
And tonight... the moon was exceptionally round.
The bright moonlight did not foretell anything ominous.
Instead, the pale golden radiance was incredibly peaceful.
Such a perfectly rounded moon surely symbolized that tonight would be a night of peace.
"After devouring the Steel Sea Dragon Beast, I obtained 'Adaptive Domain.'"
Hyuga Sho reviewed what he had gained.
After the "Ultimate Lifeform" and "Jenova Cells," Hyuga Sho had gained another ability related to fusing the Seven Attributes.
The first two contained active and passive skills and were abilities that transformed the body.
The third, "Adaptive Domain," could enhance Hyuga Sho's combat ability in suitable terrain.
For Hyuga Sho, who possessed the Evolution Chart,
the Sky Universe, the earth, and the oceans were all his primary battlefields.
In other words,
Hyuga Sho had gained the ability to receive adaptive enhancements across a vast range of terrain.
This kind of terrain enhancement,
in simple terms,
meant swimming faster underwater,
running faster on land,
and remaining suspended in the sky with greater ease.
With Adaptive Domain, Hyuga Sho's running speed easily reached six times the speed of sound.
This change was terrifying.
At six times the speed of sound, Hyuga Sho could directly kill someone by charging into them from more than five hundred meters away, carving a bloody path through them.
No weakling could stop Hyuga Sho.
Hyuga Sho could come and go as he pleased.
In battle, this also meant that Hyuga Sho's combat movement was almost equivalent to teleportation.
It surpassed Seventh-Gate Guy but remained below Eight-Gate Guy.
