Blood Assimilation - Chapter 293

293 Fusion of Abilities, Completion

A vast expanse of a dark void.

An imaginary space filled with endless darkness as far as the naked eye could peer through. That was the current location of Randy’s consciousness. This imaginary space was located somewhere inside his body. His personified spirit body, generated by his consciousness, wandered aimlessly in the darkness of this eerie imaginary space until he saw two dots of light glowing in the distance.

Then, with just a single thought of command, Randy traversed between his position and the vast distance ahead of him. He stopped a safe distance away, and then he attentively observed the two glowing lights with interest.

Moments later, he discovered a surprising fact. Inside the unknown imaginary space in his body, the two glowing lights ahead of him were undoubtedly the manifestations of his two Synergy abilities.

Although Randy was momentarily mystified by the odd imaginary space and the phenomena occurring within it, he still decided to carefully and keenly observe the changes occurring between the manifestations of the two Synergy abilities.

As Randy beheld closely what was truly happening, he noticed that the two abilities were superimposed on each other and gradually began to fuse with each other. He could infer from the changes that, due to the compatibility of the two abilities, some unknown fusion sequence was triggered. This was most likely why he was pulled into the unknown dark void of space.

After all, the two abilities were essentially the same, with the only difference being the source of acquisition. As a result, the combination of these two similar abilities would, without a doubt, bring about a qualitative change on a fundamental level. And also, a powerful effect incomparable to their independent mastery level would likely be the final result.

One thing to note was that the nature of the Synergy ability was to attract compatible elements or powers and combine them to create a powerful effect. Based on the scene unfolding before Randy, it would appear that such a trait was also applicable to the two Synergy abilities themselves.

That was possible because by activating both of them at the same time, a force field similar to polar magnetic fields was generated. This force field caused the essence of the two abilities to begin to attract each other.

…..

As a result, when the two abilities got closer, they then began to fuse and Randy’s consciousness was drawn into it because the ability relied on his psionic energy. However, his ‘Mental Seed’ has not yet taken form. Consequently, he wasn’t able to deploy any psionic energy to support the two activated skills.

With that being the case, Randy’s consciousness was drawn into his body to supplement the lacking energy. It was at this moment that he realized that he had already messed up during the testing phase of his experiment.

Randy initially thought that, by simply activating the two skills without deploying their effects, it would not require any psionic energy, nor would it cause him any harm. After all, he only needed to activate the skill with his divine points or mana points.

However, the operation of the skill required him to spend psionic energy. Fortunately for Randy, right as his consciousness was about to be sucked into the fusion of the two abilities, his system appeared in his vision with a notification.

[[Due to the deadly stress on your consciousness, your brain’s mental energy generation rate had sped up and increased astronomically. As a result, the formation of the energy vessel, ‘Mental Seed’ has been completed successfully ahead of time]]

[[Mental Seed: An energy vessel that naturally transforms generated mental energy into a sublime and higher quality energy known as ‘Psionic Energy.’ A Mental Seed increases the rate at which your brain generates and replenishes mental energy]]

[[Notice: Once your mental energy reaches a certain level of achievement, it will no longer generate mental energy. Only psionic energy would be generated. At that time, the Mental Seed Vessel would transform into a Psionic Seed Vessel]] fenl.

[[Warning: Your consciousness is waning due to the suction force caused by the fusion of the two compatible ability essence runes. Deploy your psionic energy quickly if you don’t want your consciousness to be fused alongside the abilities and altered in the process.]]

The moment Randy saw the warning and suggestion given by his system, he immediately deployed all his newly formed psionic energy into the fusion field of the two Synergy abilities, causing the fusion field to temporarily stop pulling on his spirit body that contained his consciousness. Taking advantage of that, he beckoned his consciousness to fly away from the fusion field as fast as he could command.

After reaching a considerable distance away, Randy stopped, turned around, and continued to observe the changes transpiring after he injected his psionic energy. Though the concept of distance was not applicable to the imaginary space in his body, he could still distance himself from the fusion field with only his will.

Shortly after, the two abilities collided fiercely. Translucent runes manifested out of the collision and paired with each other one by one. From a scientific point of view, the scene would appear reminiscent of the sequence of genetic pairings that create the sophisticated DNA structure within humans. This sequence of compatible pairings lasted for a long time.

At some point, the pairing sequence ended, and the completely paired runes turned into a spherical marble-like manifestation before instantly disappearing altogether without leaving behind a single trace. It was almost as though the entire scene of glowing lights in the dark void of space had never occurred.

Randy felt a sudden pull on his intangible, personified spirit body. His consciousness was being forcefully ejected from the dark imaginary space without resistance. When he opened his eyes, he found that he was still sitting with his legs crossed inside the white Safe Room.

‘I’m finally out of that strange place. Just what was that about? Never mind. Let me check what—]

At this moment, Randy could feel changes occurring within his body causing him to stop his thought process. The changes were similar to when he fused with the Synergy Ability Stone a while ago.

However, unlike before, he felt no soothing warmth coursing through his body. He only felt that some indiscernible changes were occurring deep within his soul.

Randy paused briefly and decided to read the lines of text, only to find more lines of text than he expected lined up on the notification screen before him.

[[Warning: As your ‘Mental Seed’ energy vessel formation is still in progress, you cannot deploy any psionic or mental energy at this time. Thus, your consciousness, which was nurtured by mental energy, is being forcefully summoned to supply energy for the fusion of the two abilities]]

[[Due to the fusion of the two abilities, the Crystallized Ability Stone that was initially incomplete had successfully been developed to completion. At the same time, the mastery level of the newly gained ability had reached its peak state. As a result, the newly developed ability had reached its maximum potential. You can now gain the full effects of the ‘Synergy’ skill]
