Cosmic Peak - Chapter 145

“Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

Aren was rolling on the floor, screaming as his body exuded unimaginable heat.

He had just used that bloodline orb and added it inside his 1st gene slot before he started producing heat and then…pain.

Inside Aren’s inner space, a figure that looked similar to Aren was standing with his eyes closed. This figure looked dreamy blue with mystical silver-blue patterns all over and inside his body.

There were two dreamy silver-blue orbs and nine tiny prism symbols floating around this figure.

One of those two orbs was being filled up with dark red power and started to change.

That dreamy silver-blue figure was a blueprint of Aren’s current body, and it was created by that cube, Celestial Ichor Prototype EZ-111. This figure was known as Celestial Emporio Physique, and it was connected to Aren’s body and reflected Aren’s real body in a different form.

After one minute, that one orb changed as it became dark red with mystical patterns and orange sparks inside it.

However, it was not over because the orb then channeled the bloodline power into Celestial Emporio Physique as the dreamy silver-blue physique started to turn red, and mystical dark red and orange patterns appeared all over and inside that body.

The same thing happened to Aren’s body outside, and the pain that Aren was feeling intensified.

Aren didn’t stop screaming because it would make the pain less painful. However, one minute passed, and the pain continued. At this moment, Aren decided to stop screaming despite the pain.

He gritted his teeth, resolved his eyes, and got himself up before properly sitting crossed-legged.

His body was constantly trembling as it was not under his control. It was just involuntarily trembling because of the process happening with it.

“Huuuuu…,” Aren took a deep breath while trembling as he endured the pain with utter silence while thinking, ‘It’s better that I get used to pain more often so that I can make use of that <Painful Glory> ability any time I want.’

Aren had put away his armors inside his inventory because of the notification that he should put it inside. Otherwise, they might melt during the last step of this bloodline thing.

Aren could feel that something additional was inside his inner space; he could clearly feel it as it was a part of his body.

He closed his eyes, and without doing anything, he actually managed to see his inner space.

‘Strange. I had to focus previously, but now I can see this inner space easily,’ Aren thought as he observed the mystical figure that was standing on the right side of Armalist Drive and the left side of Aember core of Eturnia.

Basically, those three things were now in a triangle position.

‘That figure, it looks like me,’ Aren thought and then observed the two orbs and nine prisms floating around that figure.

‘Those two orbs should be two gene slots. One of them is already filled with Burning Crimson Red Dragon Bloodline and is now transfusing it to my body.’

‘Hmmm…wait, I can do that…but should I do that?’ Aren thought as his gaze went towards the Aember Core of Eturnia after he read the information about the Emporio Celestial Physique.

He still didn’t understand the true power of Aember core of Eturnia but knew that it would only display its true power when he infused his soul energy inside it to take out Aember mutant magic energy.

‘The Aember mutant magic energy. It can mutate with anything, so it should do with this bloodline and mutate it as well. Both are fire-related as well…’

Aren fell into thought, ‘even though both fire attributed things are different; it should be easier for a mutation to happen since they at least share something similar…’

‘Hmmmm…’

After thinking for a few moments, Aren made his decision.

‘I am doing it! It’s better that this bloodline completely goes under my control,’ Aren thought as he poured his soul energy inside the Aember Core of Eturnia, which then started producing true Aember mutant magic energy.

Aren controlled that energy and infused it inside that orb floating around his Emporio Celestial Physique.

Both the bloodline and the power of Aember started to mesh together.

[Bloodline Mutatation happening in 1st Gene slot. The bloodline Transfusion process will be forcefully halted until the mutation finishes.]

A sharp pain assaulted Aren’s body as well, but he endured while gritting his teeth and didn’t lose focus. After two seconds, the pain disappeared.

On the other hand, the Burning Crimson Red Dragon Bloodline and Aember mutant magic energy were mutating.

…

“He is really doing it,” the Lord lady said with a wry smile.

“What?” Tarrox looked at the Lord with a confused expression. Unlike Lord, he couldn’t sense the inner space of Aren anymore after Aren’s transformation. However, he was happy when Aren took out the Bloodline orb and used it.

“Well, the Burning Crimson Red Dragon Bloodline in him is mutating. He caused it himself,” the Lord said.

“Mutation?!” Tarrox was startled, but then he shook his head with a smile, “it’s fine as long as he becomes more powerful. It’s not like I want him to be bound to my clan. We are doing this for the last event before the despair hits them and get some benefits.”

He then looked at the Lord and asked respectfully, “what are the rewards for this time’s last event?”

“That’s a secret for now. But they are better than the previous one because we are returning after this mortal realm’s recruitment. There will be a break of a hundred years, and a new Lord will be assigned here after three years.”

“Oh? You are leaving in three years?” Tarrox was startled, and then he shook his head, “I am a bit envious of some of those mortal realms who succeeded in driving their despair because all of them get to enter the Orland High Realm while we natives are stuck here until becoming catastrophe lifeform.”

“Hahaha.. well, that’s how it works,” the Lord chuckled with a smile, “so focus on becoming a Catastrophe lifeform.”
