The one undergoing a transformation was not only Uchiha Suyang, but also Marvel Suyang, the mutant.
While imprisoned in the mutant prison, he had been classified by the researchers as a Level-Two Mutant.
Mutants originated in the Marvel Universe. In the distant past, when humans were still primitive apes, the Celestial explorer Oneg implanted a latent gene in some of them to expand their potential.
That latent gene was the X-Gene.
Based on the strength of their abilities, the Lighthouse Country government classified mutants as Epsilon-level, Delta-level, Beta-level, Alpha-level, and the strongest, Omega-level. They could also be called Level-One through Level-Five Mutants.
Mutants with extremely weak superpowers could hardly make use of them in combat or daily life. They also looked very unusual, or were simply monstrous in appearance.
The defining trait of a Level-Two Mutant was that they looked no different from ordinary humans, had no remarkable superpowers, and might not even know they possessed special abilities.
The abilities of Level-Two Mutants were relatively weak. They might be able to pass through certain solid objects or exert slight control over temperature. Domino was one of them.
Level-Three Mutants had quite practical superpowers, such as Rogue's ability to copy other people's powers or Wolverine's powerful healing factor.
Level-Four Mutants had to possess truly powerful abilities and were often highly skilled in combat. Cyclops, Professor X, Sebastian Shaw, and Sunfire were all mutants in this category.
The final level of mutant was known as an Omega-level Mutant, the ultimate threat to humanity. Only mutants with unlimited power, immortality, or omnipotence could be placed in this category.
There were fewer than twenty Level-Five Mutants in the entire Marvel Universe. They were exceedingly rare.
In fact, reaching Level Five was harder than ascending to heaven.
Ever since Marvel Duyang began sharing with these three versions of himself, he had felt tremendous changes taking place deep within his body, as if his potential had been awakened.
The three Duyangs were truly extraordinary. For one thing, Naruto Du Yang came from the Naruto world, where his body had more than three times the number of cells as an ordinary human.
That meant his potential and limits were far beyond those of an ordinary human.
Besides, the three of them—
One had already awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan and possessed an enormous amount of chakra.
One stood at the pinnacle of the second stage of Triple Inverse Life, just one step away from entering the legendary third stage.
And the last, from the One Piece world, already had an exceptionally strong physique and could use Armament Haki with ease.
Du Yang felt as if his genes had been completely activated. An immense force surged within him, emerging as dazzling points of white light, each seemingly imbued with the power to purify everything.
The points of white light spread through this Mysterious Realm, like a divine being casting holy light to cleanse it. Yet at the same time, they seemed capable of reducing everything to nothingness.
Naruto Du Yang and the others all changed expressions. They, too, could feel how terrifying this power was.
Such overwhelming Purification Power had even begun to distort space. It had to be at the level of a Level-Five Mutant.
"Did I actually become an Omega-level Mutant?"
Marvel Duyang stared at his hands in disbelief. Perhaps sharing power across multiple systems had changed his genes at a fundamental level, causing his potential to erupt completely.
Although he had become an Omega-level Mutant, his power was indeed unstable.
Generally speaking, unless their hearts and wills were strong enough, few Omega-level Mutants could control their powers, just like Jean Grey.
However, the Duyangs' transformations were not over yet.
Under One Person Duyang also felt a strange change come over him.
Just like that, he broke through the bottleneck that had plagued him for years. His entire body perfectly transformed into qi, and he entered the legendary third stage of Triple Inverse Life.
His cultivation of both life and nature also soared to its peak.
Put simply, cultivating both life and nature meant bringing both the soul and the body to perfection.
"Nature" could be understood as the abstract aspects of a person: their temperament, disposition, character, thoughts, consciousness, spirit, and will.
"Life" referred to life itself, lifespan, the body, flesh, and material existence.
After sharing with the other three Duyangs so many times, Du Yang had grown far stronger in both spirit and body. With his profound cultivation of life and nature, he broke through the bottleneck in an instant.
He could now transform his entire body into qi.
Unfortunately, even after entering the third stage of Triple Inverse Life, Under One Person Duyang still had not ascended to immortality in broad daylight, pierced the void, or become an immortal. Instead, it was as if he had realized something.
"So the third stage of Triple Inverse Life can't make you immortal. The ancestors of the Sanyi Sect have been lying to us."
Under One Person Duyang pondered, a look of disappointment passing through his eyes, but soon his expression brightened.
Since he possessed a cheat that let him share with the others, there was a chance he might encounter a Duyang who had already become an immortal. Even if he never did, perhaps he could still use all sorts of abilities to become one.
If there were no immortals in the world of One Person, then he would become the one and only First Immortal of this world!
The last to undergo a transformation was naturally One Piece Duyang.
Before Akainu captured him, he had already mastered Armament Haki.
Haki was fundamentally a special power that transformed intangible perceptions such as presence and bloodlust into the will to fight—in other words, the power of human potential.
There were three kinds: Observation Haki, Armament Haki, and Conqueror's Haki. All humans possessed the latent potential for Haki, but it had to be awakened and strengthened through training.
Armament Haki could increase a person's defense, serving like invisible armor.
Further mastery could turn it into an offensive force, as with Ryou, allowing its user to contend with Devil Fruit Users and even touch the physical bodies of Logia users.
Of the three kinds of Haki, the rarest was Conqueror's Haki, which could overwhelm or knock out enemies through sheer force of spirit.
Conqueror's Haki could also be divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels.
At the beginner level, it could erupt with heightened emotions;
At the intermediate level, the user could freely control it through sheer will;
At the advanced level, the user could overwhelm and defeat an opponent.
The highest-level application of Conqueror's Haki was coating.
Coating a weapon or one's body in Conqueror's Haki enhanced the power of attacks. It allowed the user to inflict real damage on an enemy from a certain distance without making contact, a feat only a handful of top-tier powerhouses could accomplish.
Originally, One Piece Duyang hadn't been born with the aptitude for Conqueror's Haki. But after sharing, his body's potential had changed completely, and he had naturally gained it.
Given Du Yang's current level of willpower and latent potential, he was more than capable of using Conqueror's Haki.
Black lightning-like energy coiled around his hand, radiating one terrifying aura after another, as if Du Yang had been imbued with immense power.
