While the Allied forces held a war council, on Planet Oklo, within the Crimson Alliance and the Holy Sword Academy, Lancelot was undergoing his final major transformation before reaching God Level.
Located 10,000 meters underground, a series of Rune Array form a tight Concealment system, cutting off all contact with the outside world.
Beneath the seat, a deep blue energy circuit was operating at high speed, absorbing and transforming the massive amounts of top-tier elemental crystals, pure energy blocks, and Soul Crystal buried beneath the secret chamber, and injecting them into Lancelot's body.
Bang!!
The cork popped off, releasing a sweet fragrance. Lancelot glanced briefly at the "Chrysler Bloodline Potion" in his hand, then tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.
The medicine went down the throat into the abdomen, and the flesh and blood split open automatically. The greedy cells, like hungry wolves, devoured the medicine in the blink of an eye.
Sizzle!!
The electric current flashed across his body, initially just fine blue-white arcs, but as time went on, the arcs rapidly expanded, turning into roaring lightning pythons that coiled around Lancelot's body.
These lightning pythons roared as they underwent a violent transformation. Their scales fell off rapidly, and new scales grew in their place. The lightning runes on their surfaces became even more complex and mysterious. Moreover, pale blue wind runes appeared next to the lightning runes, and finger-thick storm vortexes, like little sprites, playfully jumped around on Lancelot's body.
If the external changes are so obvious, how much more so are the changes within Lancelot's body?
It was like the Big Bang; terrifying energy erupted within the body, causing the gene chains to tremble and vibrate wildly, cracking open in numerous fissures, before disappearing again after a flash of lightning.
The excruciating pain swept through every nerve fiber of his body. Since his soul had merged with his body, it was a double torment. Even with Lancelot's Tenacious Will, his eyebrows twitched uncontrollably.
After a long while, the crackling lightning and storm vortexes slowly dissipated, the energy circuits on the ground dimmed, and Lancelot's aura quickly stabilized.
After his eyelids twitched twice, Lancelot opened his eyes, a flash of dark golden Pupil Light illuminating the entire secret chamber.
His vertical pupils carried an indescribable sense of majesty and unparalleled domineering Haki, like the king of dragons. The dragon horns that were faintly visible on his head added even more to his King's Majesty. Unlike Logo's kingly temperament, Lancelot, this king, looked more like War King. Seeing him was like seeing a battlefield where iron and fire scorched, and the phantom images of powerful enemies with different characteristics, which were the battle badges he had obtained along the way.
He clenched his fist slightly, feeling the tremendous changes in his own combat system and the further enhancement of his combat power, and couldn't help but chuckle.
Open the information panel, and you're greeted by impressive data and colorful entries.
"Chrysler Bloodline Potion" was concocted by Logo after he became an alchemy master. Both its level and quality far surpassed his previous ones. It fully unleashed the powerful bloodline potential of this Dragon Giant and highly concentrated it, adding countless "True Dragon Origin Blood" to form this bloodline potion that perfectly suits Lancelot.
After drinking the potion, Lancelot awakened a total of four Ability Energy.
These four Ability Energy are --
[King of Wind] is a pure wind-attribute Ability Energy that greatly increases wind element affinity and wind resistance. It also grants the ability to manipulate storms and air currents, create hurricanes with bare hands, cut targets with a powerful vacuum blade, and compress air to create high-intensity shockwaves.
Overall, this ability doesn't significantly enhance Lancelot's combat power; it's more like having another means of combat.
[Calamity Domain], also known as [Storm Domain], is mainly used to eliminate enemy targets over a large area. It can create continuous thunderstorms, windstorms, frost and other extreme weather conditions in a certain area, and can summon "Calamity Projection" for single-target attacks. At the same time, it can absorb natural disasters and convert them into its own energy supply, or store them and release them at critical moments.
In short, the Calamity Domain is suitable for large-scale war scenarios, especially on habitable planets. Its destructive power is immense; with just a snap of the fingers, a Disaster can strike and easily wipe out all life on the surface of the planet.
[Thunder Glory] is a lightning-attribute Ability Energy with a very simple function: greatly increasing affinity for lightning and electromagnetic control.
The direct manifestation of this Ability Energy is that, after its appearance, both of Lancelot's important talents underwent a transformation.
"Advanced Lightning Affinity" has evolved into "Top-Tier Lightning Affinity".
"Intermediate Electromagnetic Control" transcends two levels, reaching the level of "Top-Tier Electromagnetic Control," representing a significant improvement.
The formation of these two top-tier talents directly caused Lancelot's still-developing [King of Electromagnetism] Innovation Skill to begin to stir, even showing a tendency to evolve autonomously, although Lancelot suppressed it.
[Bloodline Balance], the last Ability Energy provided by the Chrysler Bloodline Potion, and also the most crucial one for Lancelot.
The effect of this ability is simple: it balances the various bloodline abilities within Lancelot's body. Combined with the Power of Adaptation, it directly causes Lancelot's physical endurance to surge once again. The ability conflict issues that other Innovation School Ability Energy worry about are completely eradicated from Lancelot's life before they even begin to sprout.
Because the bloodline potion is of very high grade and quality, the maximum development level of all four Ability Energy is level 60, which is the highest below the God Level. They can be upgraded directly without consuming additional Primeval Stone to Limit Breaking.
Because Lancelot had a solid foundation, his Ability Energy leveled up rapidly as soon as they appeared, breaking through the level 35 barrier in the blink of an eye. If combined with the already level 60 "Lancelot Gene Training Method," Lancelot was confident that he could train them all to the maximum level within a year without using Primeval Stone.
Unfortunately, Lancelot is currently short of time. News has arrived from the front lines that a full-scale war is about to break out, and he must complete his upgrade as soon as possible to join the battle.
With this thought in mind, Lancelot took out the World Stone, summoned the World Furnace, ignited the golden flames, and threw himself into the forge to undergo an upgrade.
Flames roared, golden Radiance reflecting off the walls of the secret chamber, creating dazzling arcs of light that seemed to blur the boundaries of time. As if it were only a moment, Lancelot leaped out of the World Furnace, his aura greatly enhanced once again.
Exhaling a breath that felt hot, Lancelot opened the information panel again.
Excellent. After spending 25,680 Primeval Stone, all the abilities [King of Electromagnetism] needed have been upgraded, including the several Attribute Talent he awakened when breaking through to Demigod, which have also received a boost.
Under the effect of the professional ability [Earth's Guardianship], the Constitution attribute becomes the "Affinity attribute", and two Attribute Talent will be awakened with each major rank leap.
Therefore, when Lancelot broke through to Demigod, he gained a total of five new Attribute Talent, which are --
[Undying War King] is a talent awakened after reaching 151 points in Constitution. Its effect is to enhance the defense of individual cells, with an overall increase of about 25%. It may seem insignificant, but when all of Lancelot's cells are upgraded, his defense increases by a whole level. In particular, when he transforms into an energy state, his resistance to various energy attacks increases dramatically, making him much tougher.
When Lancelot broke through to Demigod, he immediately joined the Amethyst Battle. He single-handedly withstood the siege of dozens of Demigod. His [Undying Holy Spirit] alone was not enough; his Attribute Talent also played a significant role.
[Power of the Hegemon] is also a talent that is awakened after the Constitution attribute reaches 151 points. The original effect was that the damage of attacks below the level of Demigod was reduced by 70%. After being strengthened by the Primeval Stone, it was directly changed to a fixed reduction of 95% for attacks below the level of Demigod and a fixed reduction of 65% for damage below the level of Mid-Rank Demigod, which once again increased Lancelot's tankiness.
As an "affinity attribute," the talents derived from the constitution attribute are all abnormally powerful, not to mention that Lancelot also used the Primeval Stone to enhance it, which directly increased his overall combat power by another level.
[High-Rank Energy] is a talent ability that awakens after the energy attribute reaches 151 points. Its effect is to improve the structural strength of one's own energy, which in short improves the quality of energy, increases unit output and endurance, and has an immediate effect on combat power.
[Soul Greenhouse] is a talent ability that awakens after the Spirit attribute reaches 151 points. Its effect is to strengthen the soul, that is, to enhance the Undying Holy Soul. It manifests as a protective membrane covering the Holy Soul. Any soul attack must break through this protective membrane in order to damage the Holy Soul.
Since the Undying Holy Soul resides in every cell, increasing the Holy Soul is equivalent to strengthening the physical body, causing the physical strength to surge once again.
[Multidimensional Perception] is a talent ability that awakens after the Charm attribute reaches 151 points. Its effect is to improve the sensing of multidimensional energy by increasing the range and accuracy of the perception circle symbol, and to build channels to improve energy absorption efficiency and enhance endurance.
All five Attribute Talent are extremely powerful, especially the one that increases Lancelot's durability—it's simply insane.
It is precisely because of these Attribute Talent, combined with the Innovation Skill "Undying Holy Spirit," that Lancelot possesses the ability to dominate armies and is practically invincible.
Closing the information panel and feeling the surging power coursing through his body, Lancelot decisively jumped into the World Furnace to begin his final upgrade.
With a thought, the [King of Electromagnetism] began to evolve wildly, like a runaway horse. One by one, talents and Ability Energy were pulled in by invisible tentacles and integrated into this SSS+ level Innovation Skill, becoming a part of it.
[Mind Controller], [Top-Tier Lightning Affinity], [Top-Tier Electromagnetic Control], [Unyielding Will], [Willpower Liberation], [Thunder Glory], [Bloodline Balance]...
Each talent, like dry kindling, was instantly ignited into the fire, causing the flames to soar into the sky. The powerful energy, in shades of blue and green, transformed into nested energy rings that rose and fell across Lancelot's body.
Lightning crackled and exploded within the World Furnace, accompanied by the roars of True Dragon and the battle cries of giants. These sounds even broke through the forge's walls, echoing throughout the chamber and causing the exceptionally tough, high-strength alloy walls to tremble violently, as if the Magic Runes on their surfaces might crumble at any moment.
Outside the secret chamber, two figures watched the shaking metal building, their expressions constantly shifting.
"Has Lancelot encountered a problem during his breakthrough?" Jacqueline Moon Poem frowned, quickly picked up her staff, and drew complex Magic Runes in the air to replace the runes that were about to break from the shock.
Maxwell shook his head slightly. "I didn't receive any distress signal from Lancelot, so it should be fine. It's just that the aftershocks of the breakthrough were too strong, which caused this situation."
"The problem is, isn't this commotion a bit too much?" Jacqueline's lips twitched slightly, her eyelids twitching. In her perception, it was as if a frantically struggling beast was trapped inside this metal building, ready to tear everything apart and pounce out at any moment, the sense of danger was off the charts.
Even with layers of barriers in place, Jacqueline couldn't imagine whether she would have the courage to fight Lancelot in his current state.
"Is this guy really Peak Demigod? Even gods aren't this good, are they?" Jacqueline turned her head to look at Maxwell.
The latter remained silent. In fact, Maxwell was no less shocked than Jacqueline, because he had actually fought Lancelot before, albeit only as practice. But the fighting prowess that kid displayed at the time was already at the level of a top-three opponent.
And now... he has undergone such a dramatic transformation.
In most cases, the greater the commotion when a Transcendent breaks through, the greater the benefits they gain. One can only imagine the extent of the progress Lancelot will make in terms of strength after his successful transformation...
Time slipped away like sand through fingers. During this time, the actions of the Guta Federation became increasingly aggressive, while the Allied forces, following Mingke Minko's plan, fought and retreated, abandoning many strongholds. The lower-ranking soldiers did not understand the intentions of their superiors, and their morale plummeted.
As the chairman, Logo suppressed the calls for a counterattack, not only to carry out General Mingke's plan, but also to wait for Lancelot to complete his breakthrough.
A locked room.
With a deafening roar, the lid of the World Furnace was ripped off, and a figure engulfed in flames and with golden lightning emanating from its pupils leaped out.
Blue-gold arcs of electricity circled around Lancelot like clingy little sprites, unusually obedient, unlike the volatile lightning element at all.
"Finally, we've entered the stage of Divinity Sublimation..."
A deep voice echoed in the secret chamber. Lancelot's gaze focused on the heart. At the heart's core, a cluster of golden particles shifted into various shapes, imbued with a strong sense of divinity.
This is "Divine Matter," the foundation for the Matter System to become divine, corresponding to the "Divine Law" of the Law System and the "Divine World Origin" of the World System.
When Lancelot's entire body is composed of this Divine Matter, it signifies that he has completely achieved Divinity Sublimation and can tentatively break through that insurmountable barrier.
If he succeeds, he will become True God!
Moreover, Lancelot sensed something akin to a mission, as if completing this task would greatly increase his chances of becoming a god.
The content of this matter is: to completely eliminate the nemesis King of Ashes, Diorus.
