Silver radiance cascading from the skies was taken into his body!
And right away, he felt another…identity bloom within him.
His whole body felt an eruption of silver radiance inside of him that he never felt before, with his Meridians that he never truly gave time to sit and observe flashing with a tendril of silver light deep within!
And he knew that undoubtedly, it had worked.
His eyes burned with anticipation as he gazed at the panel, going past the many words listing other assimilated things as he finally saw what was new.
He absorbed the light of the Moon.
But truly, the moon itself did not emit light- but instead emitted the reflection of the light from the sun!
Not many people knew that the moon itself did not shine and was instead a planetary body that reflected the light of another, more massive planetary body.

He merely put his hand out, and he could even assimilate the light of the moon!
Evolutius Crystals. Corpses of Evolutius Beasts. The very planet he stood on. Even light from a distant moon!
Every single thing that he tried to assimilate, he was able to do so as this led to a shocking conclusion.
Unless it could somehow be proved wrong in the future.
Unless somewhere down the line, he assimilated something that utterly rejected him.
As of right now…his mind buzzed as a thought repeated again and again, and he uttered it out in a low tone as he was in a slight daze.
"I can assimilate everything…"
Something that seemed far too fantastical!
"Huh? Little Fatty, what did you say?"
Rose, who had been leaning on his right shoulder this whole time asked in surprise as she had been too busy watching the silver rays of light that looked like they were dancing on Achilles' hands!
Achilles shook his head with a smile as he kept his left hand raised, continuing to absorb the light of the moon as he monitored the changes in the Existence Corruption Value that slowly increased by decimal points.
"I'm getting a better handle on my power, that's all. The more I understand it, the more I can be confident that nothing can hurt us again."
"Mmm…" Rose nodded with a smile that soon faded as she turned to him seriously.
"I also want to be able to protect you, Little Fatty. Do you think you can do…what you did before?"
She blinked and looked down as she said this- she was talking about how he had infused her with that radiant purple light that allowed her to become a Meridian Transformation Advanced Human!
Achilles smiled as he saw green flames beginning to dance on her head and nodded.
"Mmm, I'll give you as much as you can take later."
He had advanced tremendously compared to the first time he used Biological Nurturing II on Rose, and it had now even become Biological Nurturing III.
He may be able to awaken multiple Meridians for her and allow her to be ridiculously powerful in a short period of time.
This was what he thought.
"Little Fatty, don't say it like that!"
His words caused Rose to turn a shade of red while she buried her head even deeper into his shoulder.
At this time, they heard a knock behind them as the voice of Butler Ron echoed out.
"Sir, Miss, the food is coming in now."
The wide open balcony had what seemed to be normal Humans dressed in neat white and black attire appear- carrying metal trays filled with steaming food as they walked in neat rows to lay it on the table at the center of the balcony, two exotic seats also brought over and placed on opposite ends.
It was so quick that in less than a minute, the trays of food were brought in while the servers cleared out, and Butler Ron bowed while also making his exit.
"Please, enjoy. And just call out if you need anything."
With such words, they were alone again as Achilles heard the clear sound of Rose's stomach rumbling as she looked at the ridiculous amount of food there- and its quality too!
Lobsters. Steaks. Meats they had never seen before that shone with dazzling gold lights.
Things that seemed to be purely from a dream lay before them as Achilles pushed Rose ahead.
"You get started, I'll join you in a bit."
Rose nodded in a daze as she sat down and reached out to the nearest succulent meat, not realizing just how hungry she had been and how much energy the body of an Advanced Human burned.
Meanwhile, Achilles came to stand where rays of the silver light of the moon came down, his body silently assimilating these rays of light as it was a somewhat slower process!
But gradually, the percentage went towards 100%.
At the same time, Existence Corruption Value creeped up as Achilles pulled from the thousands of remaining Evolutius Crystals he had obtained within the enclosed space of the Leyline Fracture- pulling them from the Crystal Vault that was meant to store pure organic purple energy as he assimilated them straight from there!
And the rising Corruption Value was quickly knocked back down as gradually…Achilles felt like he was getting a hang of his power!
His body flashed with a silver radiance as he stepped into the First Echelon of the Non-Luminous Moon Light, the depth of the power within him becoming even more brilliant as he breathed in and stopped there.
Every time he achieved an Echelon without assimilating anymore, it was akin to a reset.
A reset where at this moment, he was once more considered to only be assimilating the Organic Crystals and the Organic and Inorganic Terrestrial Planetary Body!
And what he truly wanted to continue assimilating…was the Planetary Body as the power it granted was absolutely massive.
