The blue waters felt that much clearer the moment that Achilles assimilated the Marine Turtle.
In the waters below, they could already sense movements within its depths as undoubtedly, more Peak Meridian Transformation Marine Turtles were coming up.
"I'm getting pumped up, Little Fatty! I just wish there wasn't all this water hiding them down below!"
Rose had verdant flames dancing around her as she seemed ready to let loose, and Achilles couldn't help but smile as he looked down at the body of water.
"I might be able to help with that…give me a second."
He sank down rapidly as his feet touched the clear blue waters, the Lunarian Enforcer Armament alone releasing a small field that kept the water away as he sank his whole body in freely without putting up any protections!
And wondrously, he felt his body encased in water, but…
His hands touched the water as to him, it felt no different than moving and floating above!
Oxygen Independence I and Aquatic Adaptation I displayed themselves fully as in the water, Achilles felt like he was home!
He could move rapidly across it, and when he looked around, even if he didn't utilize Ecological Empathy II, he could already see the 8 Peak Meridian Transformation Marine Turtles shooting from below and converging in this direction.
And with Ecological Empathy II, he could feel everything even further below as there was a terrifying aura of power down there that was slumbering.
Achilles got serious after confirming the effects of assimilating the Marine Turtle as after this, he had one more daring thing to assimilate.
He looked at the waters around him and smiled as he called out in his mind calmly.
At this point, he never had any more doubt.
Since he had not been proven wrong even now, he should be able to assimilate everything as in the next moment, the calm waves of water surrounding him began converging around his body as he absorbed it rapidly!
A new section was added to his already expanding panel as he saw its percentage shoot up rapidly- aided by the golden waves of Primordial Energy coursing within his body.
Within a few seconds, it already attained the first Echelon as he only commanded the assimilation to proceed at a faster pace.
Up above, Rose had a face of marvel as she saw the water levels of the lake visibly begin to fall, and the process only became faster and faster!
She couldn't help but shake her head at such a scene.
"You're crazy, Little Fatty!"
She had known that her Little Fatty was going to be big the moment he told her what he could do.
At this moment, she realized that even she didn't know just how big he was going to be!
Down below, Achilles continued assimilating the water around him mercilessly, observing the changes within his body as he saw the pure blue waters enter his being and disappear into all parts of him as if his cells were endlessly drinking it up, and alongside all of this, the golden waves of Primordial Energy made everything even easier as they reduced the pressure and unstable changes brought about due to the assimilation.
So his Existence Corruption Value…did not change even as he crossed the first echelon of Water and went towards the Second Echelon!
His body felt that same explosive increase of complexity as he came to realize the number of Meridians in his body…now exceeded 190.
"Just what will the actual limit be…?!"
He was slightly dazed at this as he felt like every time he absorbed something new, he gained its qualities as his body gained another set of genes that made his previous limitations obsolete.
He truly did not know how far it could go as he already had double the number of Meridians that Luna stated would grant one a rare Peak Physiology.
He did not know the limits, so he would seek them!
He bellowed out towards the waters around him as well as the coming Marine Turtles down below who had begun shooting beams of blue light, but he did not even evade them as he still had the terrifying qualities of a freaking Planet among many others!
He had the Planetary Forcefield II that he fully believed may even be impenetrable against Minor Ethereal Physiology Masters.
Peak Meridian Transformation Marine Turtles? That was absolutely nothing.
The beams of heavy blue light they shot out smashed into an invisible barrier as they found nothing, and in response, purple-blue lightning began to dance around Achilles before thick tendrils shot out all around- the lightning being transmitted around!
All the while, the waters of this lake became less and less as it looked like a huge basin was being cleared.
And uniquely, it did not refill.
As Achilles did this, he observed the rapidly rising percentage of the new assimilation.
Inorganic Water Echelon 2(2.35%)- Obtained qualities of Water Embodiment II, Liquid Manipulation II, Water Breath II, Unnatural Size II, and Endless Regeneration II
Bountiful new qualities came, and each one was more astonishing than the last as Achilles felt like he could turn his whole body…into a body of water.
He felt like he could manipulate all the water around him to do what he wished, and his own body could release a terrifying breath of waves of heavy water that could topple anything!
Not to mention another burst of his Regeneration capabilities as he was given Endless Regeneration II.
He was more than satisfied with all of it as he roared out through every part of his body- commanding every single droplet of water nearby…to flood into him.
And…it horrifically did just that.
The massive blue lake that spread out for miles and had an unknown depth…instantly swirled like a whirlpool and rapidly surged into the body of a small human!
Shocked roars of Marine Turtles who suddenly found themselves in the skies rang out- their massive bodies tumbling down as some were already twitching from lightning.
Towards the bottom of what used to be a lake, over 18 Peak Meridian Transformation Marine Turtles tumbled onto a damp lake ground, and towards the very center of the bottom of the lake…the incandescent body of an utter monstrosity could be seen.
