Chapter 346: Chaos Analysis
[Ding!]
[Stellar Physiology has been temporarily converted into a passive]
[Your potential has increased]
The potential referred to what his body could handle.
With this enhancement, maintaining the dragon transformation in human form would no longer strain him as much as before.
The Half-Dragon Transformation was extremely close to being permanent now.
Caelus then traced back through the earlier notifications and sighed.
The word "Primordial" kept appearing, and it made no sense to him.
He had encountered this term before during the Quest of Divinity back in the Abyss, where he first obtained the Divine Halo.
That same halo had served as a springboard alongside his other tools like Chaos Ring, helping him break past the Abyss and reach the real world.
Those Halos had been left behind by gods, possibly the Divine God of Boundless Light himself.
He couldn’t be certain, but one thing was clear.
Achieving some kind of threshold of Divinity was the key to evolution to the Status as a Primordial.
Was that threshold that so-called Origin Lord-Rank mentioned by the mysterious figure behind this Master Gate?
It seemed possible, but he couldn’t confirm it yet.
"Whatever, I’ll figure it out later."
For now, he needed to utilize the Token of Exchange and obtain new abilities.
[Ding!]
[Token of Exchange activated]
[Please select what you would like to target]
He selected his race without hesitation.
The Chaos Dragon bloodline was a treasure trove, and he wasn’t going to let this opportunity pass.
He clicked exchange, but the system displayed an unexpected message.
[This skill alone cannot be exchanged]
[It does not meet the threshold to access the SS-Rank Awakening Pool]
Caelus frowned at the restriction.
He decided to add Lightning Vow to the sacrifice, and the available rarity immediately increased to Divine grade.
A hint appeared below the selection screen.
[The more you sacrifice, the higher the output]
He didn’t have many skills to spare, but this was too important to hold back.
In the end, he added Blood Generation to complete the exchange.
Holy Sword Surge, Lightning Vow, and Blood Generation.
Three abilities sacrificed at once.
[Ding!]
[Exchange successful]
[You have obtained: Chaos Analysis (Secret, 4-Star)]
[Chaos Analysis: Allows the user to analyze objects, skills, or materials. Analyzed subjects can be duplicated, refined, or merged. Current slots available: 3. Removing an occupied slot erases all progress and duplicated results. Slot capacity can be increased through unknown methods.]
Caelus’s eyes widened as he read the description.
This was similar to Divine Duplication, but far more versatile.
It required him to store things away and analyze them over extended periods, but the applications were endless.
The analysis worked on skills, talents, traits, attributes and transformations too, though it would take significant exposure to duplicate or merge them.
If he could fully duplicate a skill, he could potentially mass-produce it for his allies.
Weapons, materials, techniques, everything could be replicated once the analysis completed.
He turned toward the ladies with a satisfied expression.
"Did you guys exchange anything?"
They all shook their heads.
"Most of our skills are too valuable to sacrifice," Ayame admitted with a slight frown. "We don’t have enough to spare."
Freya nodded vigorously in agreement.
"I’d cripple myself if I gave anything away!"
Caelus understood their situation completely.
Unlike him, these people couldn’t extract abilities from enemies.
He had six talents, eight skills, four traits, and eight passives at his disposal after the exchange.
They had far less to work with.
But with Chaos Analysis, he could potentially share his abilities in the future with the Token Creation passive he had obtained from the Domain Event where they had to fight the Obsidian Dragon that turned into a Hollow Beast.
He immediately began the analysis process, selecting Temporal Regression and Lightning Attribute as his first subjects.
He wanted to see if he could derive new abilities from studying them closely.
[Ding!]
[Analysis initiated]
[Usage and exposure to the selected abilities will accelerate research progress]
Caelus nodded at the notification.
He switched his template to activate Lightning Attribute, but the analysis progress bar barely moved.
"This is going to take a while."
For the foreseeable future, he would prioritize using Temporal Regression and Lightning Attribute whenever possible.
Finding ways to accelerate the research would become a secondary objective.
"Alright, let’s head out," Caelus announced. "The Origin Domain opens soon, we need to get the population to five million and prepare for ascension to Tier 5. All of you are officially joining my kingdom today."
They moved toward the exit of the space.
The moment they emerged from the Master Gate, Caelus’s expression soured immediately.
The Japanese guild representatives and military forces were still gathered around Tokyo Tower, their attention snapping toward the group instantly.
"There he is!"
"Caelus Kross has emerged!"
Dozens of weapons and abilities were aimed in their direction, hostile energy crackling through the air.
Caelus sighed with visible annoyance.
"Let’s fly."
Sylvia grabbed Ayame and Seraphin Lin without hesitation, her vampire strength easily supporting both women.
Freya climbed onto Caelus’s back, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck.
He secured his grip on her and shot into the sky alongside Sylvia.
Within moments they reached hypersonic speed, the air above Tokyo rupturing violently from their passage.
By the time the Japanese forces looked up, they were already gone.
Shockwaves rippled across the sky in their wake, but the group had vanished completely.
Airplanes were no longer necessary when you could cross continents in minutes.
They landed at a hotel in central Tokyo an hour before the Domain opened.
Soon, the domain opened.
[Welcome back, Caelus Kross]
[Current Faith Power: 15,247,891]
[Faction Members: 839,421]
[Town members: 847,293]
[Rank: King]
[Level: 1]
[Combat Score: 2.34 (Ace Rank)]
Genesis Kingdom materialized around them as they spawned inside the town center.
Ayame, Seraphin Lin, and Freya immediately received invitations to join the kingdom officially.
[Ding!]
[Ayame has joined Genesis Kingdom]
[Seraphin Lin has joined Genesis Kingdom]
[Freya has joined Genesis Kingdom]
"Welcome to the family," Caelus said with a grin.
"Alright, here’s the plan," Caelus explained. "Sylvia and I will go conquer kingdoms to gather population, we need to reach five million before we can use the Token."
He turned toward the three girls.
"You three should focus on increasing your combat scores with the corpse of the beasts we had from the third trial."
Ayame nodded.
"We’ll make good use of the time."
With the plan set, Caelus and Sylvia departed from Genesis Kingdom.
No one could match in strength, the Ace-Rank combat score was not something normal players could deal with. Hence, kingdoms fell one by one.
[Ding!]
[Kingdom conquered!]
[Kingdom conquered!]
[Kingdom conquered!]
[Current Genesis Kingdom population: 2,847,293]
The notifications continued flooding Sylvia’s vision as they continued without stop.
[Kingdom conquered!]
[Current Genesis Kingdom population: 6,033,293]
Finally, once it reached 6M they stopped.
The requirement for the Lord Token had been exceeded by a comfortable margin.
Caelus smiled as he checked the updated kingdom information.
[Genesis Kingdom]
[Population: 6,033,293]
[Prosperity: 87%]
[Tier: 3]
Now what was left was Prosperity and he knew how to make it reach 100%
