It was dark in the night.
The skies were filled with neon radiance, but alongside this, there was also a gorgeous array of silver rays of light that passed through the massive dome-like barrier above and washed over the city.
Silver rays of radiance came from a distant moon that lit up the skies beautifully.
And yet Achilles stood atop the balcony of a huge mansion compound that the prized Majors of the Lunaris Colony Overseers would normally reside in, Rose by his side as he asked himself a critical question!
What, if anything, could he not assimilate?!
When he tried assimilating Evolutius Crystals, he did so with ease. The same went for all the Evolutius Beasts he came across so far.
When he was in an extremely drastic situation with his life on the line, he tried assimilating the very world he stood on as even that was possible!
He was worried about what his Assimilation of the world could potentially do, but every time he did assimilate it, he felt like he was drawing out a tiny stream from an endlessly vast sea.
That his assimilation did not have too large of an effect…if any at all.
There was still much that he did not know.
He had plugged the Leyline Fracture and massacred every single Evolutius Beast rushing out from the Catacombs as at this moment, he had his hands on a large number of corpses of Evolutius Beasts and Evolutius Crystals!
It was only after an hour passed that the surge of Beasts prompted by Devil Crystals died down, and by that time…Achilles had killed thousands.
The number of Corpses was in the thousands as the Evolutius Crystals were even moreso.
But he had moved with caution because, at that time, his Existence Corruption Value had risen far too high.
He had more than enough corpses as he was able to bring the Organic Phanerogam Lifeform Echelon to III, and he was also able to get the Organic Crystals Echelon to III!
But he did not continue assimilating the thousands of corpses.
His eyes were on the Existence Corruption Value that needed to be brought down.
It was increased by assimilating too many things at once, and also increased heavily whenever he assimilated something too grand.
An Organic and Inorganic Terrestrial Planetary Body…was definitely too big as this had heavily increased his Existence Corruption Value.
The one constant that could reduce it remained to be the Evolutius Crystals, and Achilles leaned in to these as this was the only other thing he was currently assimilating apart from the Organic and Inorganic Terrestrial Planetary Body- Ethemia!
The effects were gradual, but guaranteed as after he assimilation a few thousand Evolutius Crystals…his Panel reflected many changes.
Organic and Inorganic Terrestrial Planetary Body Echelon 1(8.009%)- Obtained the qualities of Planetary Forcefield I, Gravitational Field Manipulation I, World Healing I, Limited Astronomical Physiology I
Organic Crystal(Evolutius Crystal) Echelon 3(4.065%)- Obtained qualities of Regeneration III, Energy Conversion III, Flexibility III, Light Manipulation III, Biological Nurturing III, Crystal Manipulation III, and Crystal Vault III
Organic Phanerogam Lifeform Echelon 3- Obtained qualities of Dermal Armor III, Regeneration III, Photosynthetic III, Lightning Physiology III, Abnormal Endurance III, Vine Generation III, and Pheromon Generation III
Organic Arachnida Lifeform Echelon 1- Gained qualities of Poison Generation, Appendage Generation, Exoskeletal Armor, Physical Adherence, and Thermoreception
[Existence Corruption Value]:: 0%
[Complexity]:: Extremely Weak Terrestrial Lifeform
Organic Phanerogam Lifeform and Organic Crystals reached the third Echelon, elevating all qualities they held while granting an additional quality each.
Crystal Vault III was something entirely unique as Achilles felt like there was a massive space surrounded by purple crystalline walls- and he could move seas of the purple brilliance surging throughout him into this space.
As if it could be stored in addition to what he already had in his body.
It was meant to store seas of potent purple brilliance, but he came to find that he could also move Evolutius Crystals and even the corpses of Evolutius Beasts into this space in and out freely!
Whether it was the intended purpose or not, it was a grandiose capability.
Pheromone Generation III was even more complex as it came with multiple different aspects that he wanted to try out later.
But at this moment…the only two things he was assimilating.
The Organic and Inorganic Terrestrial Planetary Body, and the Evolutius Crystals!
The few thousand Evolutius Crystals alone allowed his Existence Corruption Value to return to 0% as with this, he was more confident to test out a few more things.
The question was whether there was a limit to the types of things he could assimilate.
He breathed in the night air that felt warm and cold at the same time.
He felt Rose's head leaning against him. He felt her warmth.
He thought of the wildest thing he could possibly test his theory on as, so far, whatever he wanted to assimilate, he had been able to!
So what outlandish thing was there apart from the very world he stood on for him to try and assimilate?
He stared at the night sky filled with neon lights.
The silence nearby and the occasional hums of Aerial Lunaris Drones flying around.
He looked around this brightly lit night as he came to see the rays of silver brightness cascading down.
He blinked and focused on these silver sources of light that passed through the transparent barrier of the Colony City of Neon and made this whole colony even brighter!
The light…of a distant moon.
His eyes quickly lit up as he raised his left hand towards the night sky, a ray of light from a distant moon landing on his palm as he felt his heart speed up.
What else could be as outlandish as the light from a distant moon that nobody below could see the true size of?!
With such a thought, he gave a small but firm command.
A buzz of silver radiance flashed as truly.
The silver light was captured as it began to drill into his hand!
