Chapter 467: Spiritual Pressure
After spending seven hours, Kahn was finally done absorbing the abilities of the spirit creature Vilgax. But instead of hearing the list about the newly acquired abilities, he paid attention to an important matter first.
"Alright then… who should I go with this time?" wondered Kahn.
Suddenly, a particular subordinate appeared right beside him as if he was there the whole time and finally decided to show himself.
A man with green eyes and shoulder-length black hair whose half of the face was covered in a black mask now chose himself to be the one to evolve next.
"I"ll take this one."
And thus, the candidate was selected without any problems. It was the left-hand man of Kahn. Also known as…
Ronin.
Since there was no objection from Omega, Kahn started the synthesis divine ability and gave his command.
"Merge!"
[300,000 SS Rank mana cores and ores are needed to complete this procedure.]
Suddenly, the system notified Kahn.
"What the… why so many? Even Blackwall didn"t need these many cores when I evolved him." queried Kahn.
[The specimen used in the synthesis procedure is an amalgamation of various bloodlines. Thus, to perfectly form a physical form and also grant the ability to create a spiritual form for the general named Ronin, a high quant.i.ty of mana resources are required.] explained the system.
"Alright then. Take it." spoke Kahn and looked forward to Ronin"s new evolution.
As the synthesis procedure continued, Kahn then commanded the system to show him the list.
[Congratulations to the host for acquiring the following abilities & skills :
Spiritual Sense (SSS Rank) (Active) :
Allows the host to use world energy and sense all the living creatures within 5 kilometers radius and map their locations in mind.
Note : This ability can only be used after the host becomes a Saint rank being first.
Phase Shift (SSS Rank) (Active) :
Allows the host to temporarily change his body into a spirit form and pa.s.s through any objects, elemental attacks or even living beings.
Current activation time : 10 seconds.
Note : A large amount of world energy is required to activate this skill.
Spiritual Replica (Saint Rank) (Active) :
Allows the host to create a spiritual replica of himself using world energy. This replica will possess all of the host"s skills and abilities.
However, it will have only 80% of the Host"s stats.
This Spiritual Replica will be 50 times bigger than the host but will only have the upper body portion in spiritual form. All of the host"s fighting skills and bloodline effects can be granted to this replica.
The activation period depends on the host"s reserves of world energy. As long as the host can provide an ample amount, the Spiritual Replica will continue to exist.
Note : The host must break through to Saint rank to use this ability.
Following are the merged abilities :
Hunter Intent and Spiritual Sense have merged and created a new ability.
Hunter"s Domain (Saint Rank) :
Allows the host to sense, pinpoint, and spiritually track any living being as per wish.
The range of this skill is currently 5 kilometers radius.
Note : The range and effectiveness of the ability will increase with the progress in the host"s rank and levels.
Bloodline : Vilgax
Current bloodline purity : 100%
Note : Spiritual Sense has been merged under Survival Instinct blessing.
Survival Instinct has reached stage 4.
The Spiritual Replica can also use the Asura Mode.] reported the system.
Kahn on the receiving end was shivering.
Not because of fear but due to overwhelming excitement!
"b.l.o.o.d.y h.e.l.l… did I just receive my own version of Susaano and a Bankai?"
Because these three new skills were just totally insane.
Although he couldn"t use them because of his limited rank as of now… the usefulness was simply too much.
Hunter"s Domain was simply too useful. It was like his Detective Mode getting upgraded to a whole different level.
Phase Shift was the exact ability Vilgax used to turn into a spirit form and evade all the attacks and remained unaffected by even Jugram"s h.e.l.l Domain and Ceril"s suppression formation.
Even though Kahn could only use it for 10 seconds even after he became a saint, that was probably his second-best lifesaving skill after the Dimensional Law skills.
And the best of them all… Spiritual Replica would allow Kahn to create a form 50 times bigger than himself and made completely out of world energy.
Even with 80% stats… it could use all of Kahn"s abilities and skills.
But the best part was… Kahn could grant it the Asura Mode.
This was his second-best power buff mode after Berserker G.o.d Mode.
And Kahn will be weakened still just like the latter after using it.
But if Kahn could use the Asura Mode on this Susaano of his… he would be able to bypa.s.s the restriction of the weakened state on his physical body.
And this Kahn"s version of Sajin Komamura"s bankai would be able to use many different bloodline abilities at the same time.
Like Kahn could use the physical skills of Basilisk, Invimarak, Bjormngandur, Mountain t.i.tan, and Draconian bloodlines at the same time on his Spiritual Replica.
And all he needed was a source of immense world energy. For which… he already had the biggest and baddest object of them all.
The Peak Saint"s Core!
All Kahn needed to do was become a saint and he would finally have another OP skill that would be no different than gaining an extra Kahn with the same fighting capacity as him.
After 8 more hours pa.s.sed… the synthesis process was finally completed.
Shooaaa!!
Strong winds formed a couple of typhoons and an eerie atmosphere came to be in the middle of the battlefield.
BOOM!!
A hundred meter tall body of a humanoid monster whose entire body was a combination of Vilgax"s white exoskeleton armor and pulsating red flesh came to be.
Two 50 meters long tentacles were protruding from its back and from its forearms…
There were two ma.s.sive blades, big and strong enough to even cut down someone like Jugram in a fight.
On the center of the head, was a single bright yellow eye and on the back, it had a long tail.
Ronin, in his new evolved form, looked like a biomechanical creature made for the sole purpose of killing.
Just then, the system gave Kahn a notification.
[The general named Ronin has evolved into a new species. It"s called…] the system took a pause and finally revealed the names of Ronin"s new form…
[THANATOS.]
