Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'
Chapter 95 - 076. Secondary Mutation

Chapter 95: 076. Secondary Mutation

[Main Profession [Mutant] has been upgraded to lv.20]

[Based on specialization: You have gained the following benefits—Charm +6]

[Total Level has met the promotion criteria]

[Class promotion requirement: Mutate three times]

Li Aozi nodded. This wasn’t too difficult. He had just undergone his second mutation in the past two days. Promotion wasn’t hard at all.

Delaying a mutation was rather troublesome, but accelerating one was far too easy.

The most direct method was to acquire another Arcane Energy. Holding each new Arcane Energy instantly brought the gene chain to the mutation threshold.

Suppressing his level proved to be correct. First, since he needed experience points to reset mutation counts to strive for a good mutation option as he advanced to the Alpha Class.

Secondly, with so much experience saved, he could dabble in lifestyle professions like [Craftsman].

Li Aozi took out the [Ersha Drug-VI Trial] from his backpack.

"Let’s use it here."

Li Aozi loaded the red and black solution into an injection gun, skillfully jabbed it into his deltoid muscle, and pressed the injector.

Unlike the extravagant product that awakened [Gravity] Arcane Energy previously, Li Aozi clearly felt the ferocity and wild power of this solution. But now, he was no longer the weakling he once was. The [Mutant]’s body easily absorbed and accommodated the drug.

[You have used a Gene Constructing Agent, commencing the construction of ordinary genes into Super Genic Engineering]

[Construction aimed towards—New Arcane Energy]

His body, no longer frail as before, instead became insatiably greedy. Every bit of substance in the drug was devoured and assimilated by his cells.

His eyes turned pitch black in an instant, the pupils crimson, arteries bulging, taking on a ghastly purple-black hue.

Vaguely, he heard the same elusive voice as before, like a myriad of people softly chanting.

.........

’You... did well...’

’Control... Manipulate... Command... This is your path...’

’Well done... Excellent...’

’They owe you everything... Take it all back...’

’This is our promise to you...’

.........

[Listening to the Voice of the Primordial Abyss—Will +2, Charm +1]

[Perpetual Specialization: Love Hunting activated]—Main Attribute Growth Value +1, if the Main Attribute is [Charm], Main Attribute benefits +30%.

[Correction Result—Will +2; Charm +2]

[Constructing Genes]

[Integrating Gene Sequence]

[Releasing invalid Gene Fragments]

[Replicating Gene Fragments]

[New Arcane Gene Constructed]

Li Aozi felt a surge of spirit, new information appearing on his retina.

[Great and Mysterious Sovereign, Noble Child of the Primordial Abyss, the Miracle from the Starry Abyss—you now possess the initial power to distort reality.]

[Congratulations, through a slight medium, you have found new strength.]

[Please select one from the following options as your Subordinate Arcane Energy]:

A—[Nightmare March]: Zeta Level (ζ, the sixth Greek letter) Arcane Energy, dual benefits in [Will] and [Charm]. You are the nightmare of the deep night, capable of entering others’ dreams, implanting nightmares, and manipulating them.

Arcane Performance:

Active Activation: Can enter others’ dreams, create illusions, modify dreams to influence and control others’ minds. You can also transfer your physical body through dreams, killing hosts, or using dreams for long-distance teleportation.

Passive State: Mental resistance increased by 70%

"Welcome to my nightmare."

B—[Physical Strengthening]: Alpha Level (α, the first Greek letter) Arcane Energy, benefits in [Strength], [Constitution], and [Charm]. A very ordinary physical enhancement that cannot even block bullets.

Arcane Performance:

Active Activation: Muscles swell, bones become hardened, feeling of increased strength.

Passive State: None

"I do have superpowers... although I can’t beat anyone."

C—[Severing Life]: Sigma Level (Σ, the eighteenth Greek letter) Arcane Energy, dual benefits in [Constitution] and [Charm]. This Arcane Energy is an advanced form of [Life Extraction], with a terrifying effect of directly severing others’ life force.

Arcane Performance:

Active Activation: Targets an enemy, abolishes life recovery capability at the genetic level, directly extracts life from the target, including spiritual entities. If the target is slain, its power and personality can be refined into different items.

Passive State: Inflicts damage on any target with a ’life’ concept, extracting 10% of the target’s current maximum health per second, and dealing magic damage equal to 10% of your maximum health when attacking with cold weapons.

"Sweet and delicious."

D—[Sky-Piercing Power]: Omega Level (Ω, the last Greek letter) Arcane Energy, benefits in [Strength], [Constitution], [Charm], [Will], and [Dexterity]. This is a force revered by The Pantheon!

Arcane Performance:

Active Activation: Unleashes strength equal to (total attributes + body weight + level) * 9000%.

Passive State: Body weight increases by 10% daily, unable to fly, use weapons, or wear armor.

"Too weak, bring another ten, not enough for me to fight."

——————————————

Li Aozi rubbed his eyes, still in disbelief:

"Me (Civilization Red Arrow), has my fortune turned?"

Apart from the weakest Alpha Level Arcane Energy, the other three were quite impressive.

In the future, [Nightmare March] could advance through the path of [Fierce Ghost Release]—[Despair Dreamscape]—[Gloomy Nightmare]—[Eternal Night Sovereign], being a nemesis against the [Mysterious] type, easily breaking professions like [Spirit Medium] or [Shaman].

Li Aozi had never played with this Arcane Energy before but saw it often in competitions—and indeed, it was very useful.

Besides, among the Omega Level Arcane Energy, [Sky-Piercing Power] was also extremely terrifying, but—not suitable for Li Aozi.

This was the path of a [Psychic], needing a full attribute-benefit Arcane Energy to advance to [Conqueror] later on.

[Psychics] specialize in one Arcane Energy, fully developing its potential, piling up attributes without needing any tactics.

By logic, [Life Extraction] should always appear if not obtained, as it stems from the strongest survival instinct.

Yet, Li Aozi didn’t expect to roll out the advanced version of this Arcane Energy, [Severing Life].

This was an extraordinary Arcane Energy—fusing it in the later stages could eventually grant a high-risk Arcane Energy [Fate Manipulation]!

"This is excellent... even if I don’t get [Death Link] next, my Blood Demon Style is now three-quarters complete."

Li Aozi was quite satisfied and didn’t hesitate to choose [Severing Life].

[You chose ’Severing Life’]

[Gene Fragments Attached]

[Influenced by Arcane Energy, your gene load has increased]

[Warning: Your lifespan is now less than two years]
