I'm not just human!

Chapter 367 Body Tempering! This time, he actually obtained the mutation of the Sun God King?

Chapter 367 Body Tempering! This time, he actually gained the mutation of the Sun God King? (Part 2)

Inside Worm City, the streets were completely silent.

Whether they were mutants, mutants watching the spectacle, passersby, passersby watching the spectacle, or residents hiding in apartment buildings, or those watching the spectacle hiding in apartment buildings—they all stared in disbelief at the colossal elephant that was nearly a hundred meters long.

This colossal elephant resembles an ancient god from mythology. Its body is heavy and majestic, and its tusks are covered with countless mysterious patterns that are sometimes bright and sometimes dark. There are six curved tusks alone, and it has eight legs, exuding an unparalleled power that makes people want to bow down and worship.

Not only did it use its trunk to catch the bald madman who was about to self-destruct, but it also managed to withstand a claw attack from the winged mutant who fell from the sky.

The winged mutant had clearly reached the eagle level, with eagle claws as sharp as iron hooks, yet it couldn't cause any substantial damage to the thick elephant hide, leaving only a few faint white marks.

Everyone was stunned, especially the eagle-level mutants, whose hearts were filled with turbulent waves.

As an Eagle-level mutant, they had already reached the pinnacle of mutant power, but now, a terrifying being has appeared who cannot even harm an Eagle-level mutant.

"Benil, Benil, how did you do that?"

Beside the ancient and solemn giant elephant, a humanoid holy light, after its light subsided, transformed into the appearance of a smart middle-aged man in a suit, his eyes radiating an eerie light, and he walked to the giant elephant's side.

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although the giant elephant seemed to be on the side of justice, there was no guarantee that it wouldn't do something, after all, it was already so powerful that no one could defeat it.

Now that someone recognizes this giant elephant, there's no need to worry too much.

Xia Fa remained in the form of a giant elephant, and was somewhat surprised.

However, he wasn't surprised at how he did it, because turning his body into a giant was far simpler than using secret abilities that altered the body's state, such as "Rhine Silver Mercury" or "Starry Body".

What truly surprised him was the reaction of the mutated people around him; it seemed that—something he had done was something that ordinary people simply couldn't do.

No, it's not just that ordinary people can't do it.

It seems that, as a giant elephant mutant of the animal type, I can directly transform into a giant elephant, which is the first time since the beginning of time!

"Captain, I—I don't know either. I was in a rush just now, and that's how it happened. But I think I can figure out the solution."

The giant elephant that Xia Fa had transformed into spoke in a deep voice, and at the same time, released its trunk that had been wrapped around the bald thug.

The bald thug was in a state of self-destruction, and all his strength was drained in an instant. However, Xia Fa managed to stop him, and he collapsed to the ground, weak and exhausted.

A wry smile played on his lips: "Benil, your name is Benil, right? Tell me, why did you save this beast—"

1

Unexpectedly, the bald thug was stunned halfway through his question, staring incredulously at the left foreleg of the giant elephant that Xia Fa had transformed into.

Beneath those massive, pillar-like elephant legs lay the shop owner, but he had fainted, and not only that, his lower body had vanished.

What's even more surprising is that, even though the shop owner is a self-healing mutant, there is absolutely no granulation tissue growing where his abdominal cavity was severed!

In that instant, not only the bald thug noticed this, but also the powerful mutants around him.

"This guy named Benier, the giant elephant he transforms into, can not only resist elemental attacks, but also has a way to disable self-healing abilities?"

The mutated people felt a sense of awe when they thought about this, and their gazes toward the giant elephant that Xia Fa had transformed into became much more respectful.

Not only that, some observant mutants also noticed something else.

That is, the trunk of this giant elephant—it remained completely intact from beginning to end, without suffering any burn damage!

You know, it just used its trunk to forcefully hold back that bald thug who was about to explode!

That bald thug was a powerful fire mutant, even among elemental beings, and had already reached the Eagle level! When he self-destructed, he possessed an exceptionally terrifyingly high temperature!

This means that this giant elephant can not only suppress elemental abilities, but can also resist elemental attacks just like it resisted the eagle claws of the winged mutant!

Worm City, as the birthplace of the mutated humans, was one of the most prosperous and bustling megacities on Caligi.

This time, the incident caused by the bald thug has once again attracted a large number of powerful individuals who stand at the pinnacle of mutants.

Now, looking at this colossal elephant, the mutated people all realized that a new era was about to begin!

"Good, good, good! Hahaha! You bastard, you've finally met your match!"

Suddenly, the bald thug's loud laughter rang out, his voice filled with the joy of successful revenge. He suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a fireball, which hit the shop owner.

The shop owner shuddered and woke up in excruciating pain. He immediately saw his missing lower body and his expression turned to extreme terror.

"Where's my... my self-healing ability? Why, why isn't it working anymore?"

Just then, a large group of mutants dressed in black trench coats quickly approached and arrested the bald thug and the shop owner.

"According to the rules established by the Animal Mutation Association and the Elemental Mutation Association, you have committed grave offenses. You are hereby sentenced to arrest and await punishment at the Mutation Judgment Court!"

Immediately afterwards, an elderly man with white hair, whose hair was as white as lightning, stepped out from the group of mutants dressed in black trench coats. He looked up at the giant elephant that Xia Fa had transformed into with great awe.

"Mr. Beniel, you've really helped us a lot! Our two associations have just made a last-minute decision: this SSS bounty mission won't require a three-choice selection anymore. The six million gold coins, the top-tier mutated crystal source, and the top-tier mutated flesh ball are all yours!"

Everything around them, from the streets and shops to the mutated people, rippled like water.

Xia Fa was startled and immediately realized that this time travel was over and they were about to return.

Fortunately, I managed to complete the task, albeit with great difficulty.

"If I had known that turning into a giant elephant would solve the problem so easily, I wouldn't have gone through all this trouble—"

As the gray fog swept over him, he muttered a final complaint to himself.

The Celestial Spirit Realm.

The Celestial Realm where the [Apostle of Knowledge] resides.

This place is a huge library, containing a vast collection of books, including those for ordinary people and those for the mystical.

-

At this moment, the Apostle of Knowledge was sitting on a pile of books, fiddling with them, even though there was nothing in front of him.

"It's done!"

Suddenly, the [Apostle of Knowledge] shouted and pulled out several shards of glass from the void. On one of the shards, a colossal elephant, hundreds of meters tall and ancient and imposing, stood on the street, its image faintly visible.

"Huh, what's this—"

As wisps of time mist dissipated in the air—or rather, returned to time mist itself—the [Apostle of Knowledge] held the glass shards like precious treasures, his eyes gleaming with even more delight.

Because, at that moment, the glass shards were faintly emitting a golden light.

The Knowledge Apostle, who frequently searches through the gray fog of time to capture "fragments of reality" related to the era of mutants, knows all too well what this means.

"This is—a fragment of reality involving a major shift in the era of mutants?!"

The Apostle of Knowledge was so happy that his beard trembled, as if he had found a priceless treasure.

Actually, the real-world fragment I lent to the [Lord of the Superdimensional] last time was also the rarest and most scarce kind of real-world fragment. However, the [Apostle of Knowledge] didn't say anything at the time, not wanting his old friend to feel indebted to him.

He just lent it out a few days ago and was already eager to get it back quickly.

This time, after trying tens of thousands of times, they finally obtained a real-world fragment involving a major shift in the era of mutants!

This will be of great academic value to His research on mutants!

"Now, even the First History might have to swallow his pride and have a chat with me, haha, for all the time He looked down on me—"

The Apostle of Knowledge was so happy that his white beard almost stood on end. Without hesitation, he immediately stuck the glass shards to his forehead.

The fragments of reality contained within the glass shards transformed into a vast ocean of information and images, flooding into Xiu's mind.

"In the year 60,362 of the Elemental Calendar, the Eagle-level Flame Mutant, Blazing Jack, attacked the Mutant Crystal Source and Mutant Meatball specialty store in Worm City, taking the store owner hostage in order to avenge himself and his teammates."

"At that time, the mutants had not yet spread throughout the universe; they had only developed on Caligia. Worm City, as the origin city of the mutants, was the most prosperous and flourishing place on the entire Caligia."

"Although there is more than one specialty store for mutated crystals and mutated flesh balls in Worm City, each specialty store has a considerable number of mutated crystals and mutated flesh balls from the Animal Mutation Association and the Elemental Mutation Association."

"It is said that, apart from the lack of top-tier mutated crystal sources and top-tier mutated flesh balls, it has all other grades, including high-level mutated crystal sources and mutated flesh balls."

"At that time, Blazing Jack was emotionally agitated while holding the shop owner hostage and threatened to self-destruct. If he really did self-destruct, it would cause incalculable losses to the store."

"Just when things were about to spiral out of control, a Zoan-type insect-level elephant mutant named Benier appeared out of nowhere, like a savior!"

"Originally, animal-type mutants could only acquire mutant abilities related to the characteristics of the animal they mutated into—for example, those with wings could fly, those that looked like cheetahs could run faster, and those that could use claws, etc.—which caused animal-type mutants to always be overshadowed by element-type mutants."

"In particular, once elemental mutants use their elemental bodies, animal mutants can't even hit them. Instead, their arms, claws, and other parts of their bodies will be burned, electrocuted, or frozen."

"However, the appearance of Beniel completely and thoroughly changed this situation."

"Benir, with astonishing talent, pioneered the 'Complete Mutation Form' mutation technology. This colossal form, created from a mere insect-level creature, not only easily suppressed the impending self-destruction of Blazing Jack, but also withstood the terrifying heat of his explosion!"

"The catastrophic event subsided, and Blazing Jack and the store owner were put on trial. However, the discussion about Beniel on the streets never stopped."

"With the strength displayed by Benier's fully mutated form, in terms of defense alone, it can block most of the attacks from both eagle-level elemental mutants and animal-type mutants."

"As for his attack methods, in his fully mutated state, he not only possesses the ability to suppress medical treatment, but he can even directly strike elemental mutants whose bodies have been transformed into elements!"

"This immediately gave Benier unparalleled strength. In less than a few months, he became the president of the Animal Mutation Association, and no one dared to challenge him."

"In the years that followed, under Benier's leadership, the Animal Mutation Association even began to subtly surpass the Elemental Mutation Association!"

"Especially after Benir successfully advanced to the Eagle level, he even had the terrifying feat of fighting a hundred opponents single-handedly in his fully mutated form without being at a disadvantage!"

However, the technology for "fully mutated forms" developed by Benier has extremely high barriers to entry and requirements.

"It is said that at that time, tens of thousands of animal-type mutants received Benier's complete and unreserved teachings, but none of them succeeded, and some even suffered lifelong disabilities as a result."

"Benir also felt increasingly lonely as a master, unable to find even half a match in the entire world."

"Until, a 'white wolf' appeared."

"To be precise, this is a Zoan-type Eagle-level White Wolf mutant named Volu. He was born with white wolf fur all over his body and possesses sharp teeth and claws with extremely strong biting power."

"He was originally just a registered Eagle-level powerhouse in the Animal Mutation Association, but he happened to possess the technique of creating a completely mutated form, a skill that is one in ten thousand!"

"This directly resulted in Volu becoming the second mutant, after Benir, capable of complete transformation into a Zoan-type mutant!"

"From that day on, Volu began his struggle with Beniel."

"The two are both enemies and friends, and they respect each other. On the one hand, they lead the Animal Mutation Association to completely overwhelm the Elemental Mutation Association. On the other hand, neither of them is willing to admit defeat to the other. Whenever they have time, they will go to a deserted island to have a life-or-death duel."

"Finally, one day, after a long and arduous battle between Beniel and Volu in a mountain forest that lasted for half a month, Beniel emerged victorious."

"From that day on, Volu willingly became Beniel's second-in-command."

"But this good fortune didn't last long. Just two short years after Volu mastered the fully mutated form, a third astonishing genius emerged!"

"That was a whale-tailed mutant, and his fully mutated form was a killer whale reaching a size of ten thousand meters!"

"Faced with the unparalleled combat power of this extraordinary genius, even if Beniel and Volu joined forces, they could only suffer a regrettable defeat."

"Due to the vast difference in strength between the three, who were far superior to any other mutant of the same era, a new strength classification was finally introduced after the three of them discussed it together."

"That means, after fungi, insects, and eagles, there are three more ranks: wolves, elephants, and whales."

"That extraordinary genius was not only unparalleled in strength, but also possessed astonishing talent. After becoming the president of the Animal Mutation Association, he devoted himself to seclusion for decades, finally developing a simplified process for creating a complete mutation form."

"From then on, animal-type mutants completely overwhelmed element-type mutants, dominating for hundreds of millions of years."

"Until—an unprecedented genius was born, who simultaneously consumed a mutated crystal source and a mutated flesh ball. Unlike others, his body did not explode, and he actually adapted to it."

"That unparalleled genius was also the first in the history of mutants to be called a demigod."

"Under His command, the mutants truly embarked on an epic cosmic journey —"

The Apostle of Knowledge, looking somewhat unsatisfied, could only reluctantly remove the shards of glass from his forehead.

His face was full of emotion, as if he had truly witnessed a period of history of mutants.

"Benir, Volu—So this is how the Wolf Elephant Whale came to be after the division of power among the Fungus Insect Eagles—"

Although these doubts were answered, even more doubts inevitably arose in the mind of the [Knowledge Apostle].

For example, after demigods, how did the power division between angels and rulers come about?

For example, in the era of mutants, how exactly did the first mutant to truly become a "god," that is, to possess the power of a god, manage to do so?

And, besides the animal and elemental systems, will new mutation systems emerge?

Thinking of this, I became even more curious about the deeds of that groundbreaking genius who possessed both animal and elemental abilities.

That was the first demigod of the mutant era!

Studying Him might reveal how these mutated humans gradually became the ancient gods!

Unfortunately, obtaining relevant real-world fragments can take hundreds of years if you're unlucky.

Of course, if we're lucky, we might find it in the fog of time tomorrow.

"Hmm, let's go find the [Lord of the Superdimensional] now and watch it again together. Ever since He watched the reality fragments related to Loret last time, He's been pestering me for new ones every day these past few days—"

As the Apostle of Knowledge got up, he couldn't help but ponder the biggest, deepest, and most complex mystery.

That is—why did the mutated crystal source and mutated flesh ball that the mutated people rely on appear?

In this little world.

Soaked in sweat, Xia Fa had just emerged from the Time Mist and collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.

He was breathing heavily, his chest heaving violently, as if he had just run dozens of kilometers.

In reality, Xia Fa knew that he had only run 100 meters.

"Anyway, I've now completed 100 meters of the 1,000-meter race. As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. Once I figure out the various rules of this time-space travel, it will be simple from now on."

Xia Fa encouraged himself in this way, and at the same time, he opened his right palm.

In his palm was a ball of flesh the size of a steamed bun.

The fleshy ball was quite peculiar; its surface was covered with a network of interconnected blood vessels, beneath which lay an extremely thin membrane that emitted a faint, shimmering light.

An indescribable, extremely vigorous life force emanated from this fleshy ball, giving Xia Fa a feeling that was no less powerful than the seed that had enabled him to master the divine battle technique [Tree World]!

You should know that seed is a treasure equivalent to the twelve-colored light inside the belly of a traveling whale!

It's almost on par with a top-tier secret agreement!

"This must be a top-tier mutated flesh ball—"

Recalling his previous experience, Xia Fa hardly hesitated. He took out the flesh of the Wall of Flesh from the copper box and swallowed it in large mouthfuls. At the same time, he regulated his mind and breath, preparing to immediately consume this top-tier mutated flesh ball.

Because he knew that if there was any delay, this top-tier mutated flesh ball would be worn down by the omnipresent supernatural power, just like the previous top-tier mutated crystal source!

Until it's completely worn away!

After quickly devouring a large chunk of flesh from the Wall of Blood and Flesh, and feeling that his divine power had recovered by about half, Xia Fa was preparing to stand up despite the soreness in his leaden legs.

But suddenly, he exclaimed "Huh?" and realized something.

At that time, I had run out of the gray fog of time, but because I had just run out and then lay down, I didn't notice it for a moment.

There, they found bags upon bags of gold coins! All of them were packed in brown leather bags, the openings of which were tied tightly with cowhide!

Not only that, but among these bags of gold coins, there lies a diamond-shaped crystal that shines as brightly as a star!

That is————

"A top-tier mutated crystal source?"

Xia Fa suddenly remembered that the "Benir" he transformed into during his time travel, at the moment before returning, was likely the old president of the Animal Mutation Association, who made a promise to him.

"This time, the SSS bounty mission doesn't require you to choose one of three. The six million gold coins, a top-tier mutated crystal source, and a top-tier mutated fleshball are all yours!"

Xia Fa's spiritual intuition swept across the area, and after confirming that the gold coins and the top-tier mutated crystal source were indeed genuine, he was somewhat stunned.

"So, every time I travel back in time by training my body, whatever I obtain, I can bring it back directly?"

A full six million gold coins, though made of ordinary gold, would be a huge fortune in any place where ordinary people live.

Of course, he wouldn't need them himself. As the head of the Gilgamesh family and a god, he wasn't short of money; what he lacked were rare treasures that money couldn't buy, such as sacred metals, ancient fruits, and ancient artifacts.

However, this top-tier mutated crystal source—

"Hmm, shall we eat it together?"

Xia Fa quickly made a decision: if left unattended, the top-tier mutated crystal source would be completely worn away by the omnipresent supernatural power in half a day at most.

Most importantly, it's impossible to give it away; once it's given away, there's no way to explain it.

So Xia Fa had no choice but to take a slight risk and eat them together.

Since he had already become a god, his vitality was extremely strong. Even if he only had a drop of blood, a wisp of soul, or a bit of will left, he could be resurrected in an instant.

Not only that, once they establish their faith, they can be resurrected and return through that faith.

As far as Xia Fa knew, once gods died completely, it was often because they lost control or went mad. At that point, they could not be resurrected by faith.

In addition, gods who die at the hands of the Cleaners, or even gods who die fighting with the Cleaners, are considered to be completely dead and cannot be resurrected through faith.

On the other hand, if a deity is of too low a rank, such as a junior god or an outer god, they cannot be erased by an existence of a much higher rank, such as a celestial being or a true god. Once erased, they cannot return through faith.

In particular, we must be extra careful now that there are fake Nine True Gods, as well as True Gods and Celestial Venerables who have sided with the Cleaners and are eyeing us covetously.

Of course, even if one can be resurrected through faith, it will generally take hundreds of years and cannot be destroyed.

However, Xia Fa doesn't need to worry about so much now. He just needs to eat one more top-tier mutated crystal source and one more top-tier mutated flesh ball. At most, his physical body will explode, but he can re-condense at any time.

"Speaking of which, I've become a god now, so eating this top-tier mutated flesh ball—should it have an effect, right?"

"Moreover, this top-tier mutated flesh ball probably also conforms to the rule that the stronger and more potential a person is, the more powerful the mutation they will gain after consuming it, if we also consider it if it were consumed by a god—"

Xia Fa became more and more expectant as he thought about it, and first tossed the top-grade mutated crystal source into his mouth.

With a snap, the top-tier mutated crystal was crushed by his bite, instantly transforming into an extremely peculiar power that spread throughout his entire body.

Inside the villa-sized red and silver star shell, Xia Fa suddenly trembled all over, and then began to shake violently.

Suddenly, pure white, blazing holy light emanated from his body, even emanating from his facial features, like a flashlight.

But immediately, the holy light disappeared, and chaotic lightning began to overflow from every pore of his body.

Then, a metallic storm began to swirl around him, eventually drilling into his ears, nostrils, and mouth.

"call-

—

Xia Fa let out a long sigh of relief, feeling an indescribable sense of comfort and ease throughout his body.

"Hmm—the three elemental mutations I obtained before, namely Chaotic Destruction Lightning, Pure White Blazing Light Birthday, and Metal Accumulation Storm, have all increased in power by a full 50%?"

This was a truly unexpected surprise. Originally, he only chose to swallow a top-tier mutated crystal source based on the principle of not wasting anything, but he never expected to gain such a great improvement!

In this case, the mutations of these three elemental systems are equivalent to three overlord-level secret contracts, each possessing a unique original technique!

"Judging from this, top-tier mutated crystal sources are very useful to me. However, in the era of mutants, these are rare treasures with a scarcity comparable to the overlord-level secret contracts of our time, so it's quite difficult to obtain a large quantity of them."

Xia Fa has already decided that the next time he travels back to the era of mutants through time travel, he will try to obtain as many top-tier mutant crystal sources as possible!

Of course, we also need to get more top-tier mutated flesh balls; the improvement effect should be about the same.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Fa raised the top-tier mutated fleshy ball to his face.

"I wonder what kind of Zoan-type mutation I can obtain —"

Now that he was closer and observing it carefully, he discovered that this top-tier mutated flesh ball was actually beating like a heart. However, its once vigorous vitality had diminished by about one ten-thousandth, clearly worn down by extraordinary power.

Without further delay, he tossed the top-tier mutated meatball into his mouth, swallowed it without even chewing it, and gulped it down.

boom! ! !

Unexpectedly, Xia Fa's body exploded once again!

More than 50 trillion cells were directly distributed throughout the red and silver star shell, which was the size of a villa, and were divided into three evenly distributed clusters.

"hold head high--!"

As if a roar from the ancient past had been heard, the first cluster of cells suddenly converged in the center and transformed into a towering, ancient dragon-elephant!

The dragon-elephant was a perfect combination of a dragon and a divine elephant, with its feet firmly planted on the earth and its head reaching the sky. Its body shimmered with an indestructible luster like black steel, and every inch of its skin was like the most solid and magnificent city wall, capable of withstanding any attack or means in the world.

Immediately afterwards, the second group of cells also suddenly aggregated!

This second cluster of cells transformed into a divine bird with six wings, phoenix-like eyebrows and eyes, long tail feathers, radiating the aura of the sun, and exuding an indescribable majesty.

With six wings and a single flap, it blurred and blurred space, time seemed to stand still, and its body darted around in the air like lightning, seemingly possessing the fastest speed in the world, which was impossible for the naked eye to catch.

Then, the third group of cells also aggregated!

This third cluster of cells transformed into a lion king, its mane billowing wildly, its muscles bulging, its fangs sharp as daggers. When it roared, the void trembled. With a slap of its giant claws, even the red and silver star shell trembled slightly, as if it were about to shatter.

Almost instantly, the dragon, the elephant, the divine bird, and the lion king suddenly converged in the air and transformed back into Xia Fa's appearance.

When his body exploded, his spirit remained in the same place, so he could see everything clearly.

Now that his body has reassembled, the names of the three new animal mutations he has acquired naturally come to mind.

They are -

[The Immortal Creator Colossus] [The Six-Winged Sun Bird] [The Lion of Turmoil and Strife]

At the same time, the various mutant abilities corresponding to these three animal mutations also emerged from the depths of his mind.

Just like last time, once this mutation occurs, you will know the corresponding mutation ability.

"Hmm—if it were in the form of an immortal creation colossus, it would possess unparalleled defensive power. To exaggerate a bit, it could even withstand a single blow from an Outer God. Of course, this refers to an Outer God who has just signed four Overlord-level secret contracts and two kinds of eternal certificates—"

"As for the six-winged sun bird, it will give me unparalleled speed in the world. There is no god I cannot catch, and I can even escape from weak outer gods."

"The Lion of Turmoil and Strife—that would grant me indescribable strength. If I were in my current state, after entering the Silver Throne state of the Chaotic Saint Venus, and then amplified by the immense power of the Lion of Turmoil and Strife, I could shatter a Bronze Cleanser with a single punch, without the trouble I had before."

The more carefully Xia Fa experienced the unparalleled power brought about by the mutations of these three animals, the more delighted he became.

Moreover, these three animal mutations, just like the three elemental mutations, can all be integrated into the Silver Throne's state!

If he could develop that state—Xia Fa felt that after signing another hegemon-level secret contract, he would even be confident of going up against ordinary Outer Gods!

The term "ordinary Outer God" is a conventional term used in the Protoss world to refer to those who have just become Outer Gods.

As for the peak of Outer Gods, just like the peak of Divine Transformation, it refers to gods who are only one step away from ascending to the next level.

The Bronze Cleaner and the Silver Cleaner correspond to the peak of the God Realm and the peak of the Outer God Realm, respectively.

"Wait, something seems off—"

Suddenly, as if realizing something, a flash of inspiration struck Xia Fa.

That flash of inspiration was so fleeting that he almost missed it; clues and information surfaced uncontrollably in his mind.

"I remember that among the two pillars of the universe in the era of magicians, the strongest one, the Sun God King, was known as the God of Thunder, the God of the Sun, the God of Storms, the God of Defense, the God of Speed, and the God of Strength —"

Xiafa was unsure if there were any other honorific names, but he had heard the bards mention these six names before.

And of the six mutations he himself experienced through consuming top-tier mutated crystal sources and top-tier mutated flesh balls—

The God of Thunder corresponds perfectly to the "Lightning of Chaos and Destruction".

The sun god corresponds to the "pure white, blazing holy sun".

The God of Storms corresponds to the "Metal Accumulation Storm".

Furthermore, if this line of reasoning continues, the god of defense corresponds to the "immortal colossus of creation".

The god of speed corresponds to the "six-winged sun bird".

The god of strength corresponds to the "Lion of Turmoil and Strife".

Therefore, this means—

"The six mutations I've acquired are all top-tier, highest-level mutations, just like those of the Sun God King?"

Xia Fa was overjoyed. If that were the case, wouldn't he be able to become a supreme and incomparable powerful being like the Sun God King if he continued down the path of mutants?

It should be noted that the Sun God King—seems to be even stronger than the strongest of the nine righteous gods, [Absolute Defense]!

"Wait, could it be that I have some kind of mystical connection with the Sun God King?"

The thought suddenly popped into Xia Fa's mind, but he only thought about it briefly before rejecting it.

After all, according to Benedict's teacher, Heather Perria, the previous Puppet Queen of the Endless Realm, she had personally witnessed the corpse of the Sun God King in the "Abyss of Ascending Stars".

Since the Sun God King is dead, it's unlikely that it has anything to do with me.

As for why the six mutations he acquired corresponded exactly to the Sun God King's title—

Xia Fa guessed that it might be because the Sun God King was the most talented genius of the mutant era, while he himself was barely considered the most talented genius of the superhuman era. In addition, the mutant crystal source and the mutant flesh ball were based on the strength and potential of the user.

Therefore, what he obtained was a mutation similar to that of the Sun God King, or rather, both of them obtained the most advanced mutations.

"【Paradox Clown】You said before that after the Sun God King entered the extraordinary era, he was neither dead nor alive. What does that mean?"

"He seems to know a lot about the Sun God King, but he doesn't seem willing to say more—"

"However, He never guessed about my connection with the Sun God King. So, in His eyes, my connection with the Sun God King is probably not that great."

Xia Fa speculated that it was also possible that in the first two millennia of the universe, the Paradox Clown had seen the Sun God King, who was neither dead nor alive, somewhere.

Then, later on, the Paradox Clown was replaced by the fake Nine True Gods and could not even protect himself. Perhaps it was during that time, which was the third ten thousand years of the universe, that the Sun God King, who was neither dead nor alive, completely perished, and his body fell into the Star Abyss of the Endless Realm.

Of course, this is just his speculation, since there is very little relevant intelligence and information available at present.

only----

"Hmm—I absolutely must go to this Star Abyss where stars rise! I have to go no matter what!"

Xia Fa clenched his fists, his eyes shining, his heart filled with anticipation.

Since the Sun God King's six mutations are similar to my own six mutations, I might be able to gain immense benefits from the Sun God King's corpse!

Putting everything else aside, just absorbing the six mutations from the corpse of the Sun God King would result in an unimaginable and massive increase in one's strength!

At that point, what will the Silver Cleaner be? The Gold Cleaner will be able to hold its own against it!

After planning for a while, Xia Fa suppressed his excitement and released the Red Silver Star Shell.

Anyway, there are still more than ten days until the opening of the Star Abyss, so there's no rush.

With a thought, his body transformed into a sun bird with six wings and long tail feathers. With a gentle flap of his wings, he traversed countless distances and arrived at the edge of the small world.

With another flap of its wings, it traveled directly from the southern edge of the small world to the northern edge!

Xia Fa, seized by a playful impulse, directly opened the vine gate.

The next moment, he appeared in the starry sky of the universe.

Since I am currently in this form of a six-winged sun bird, I am not afraid of revealing anything. I will only be regarded as some kind of undiscovered cosmic supernatural creature.

With another flap of his wings, he transformed into a golden streak of light, flying past countless planets in an instant, almost even leaving the natural star field.

"what?"

But at that moment, Xiafa folded its wings and stopped.

Not far ahead lies a realm of gods and monsters called the Ruins of the Giant Sphere, which is quite famous in the natural star field. Many extraordinary monarchs and mysterious emperors have explored it.

This is the realm of gods and monsters. It looks like a huge black sphere with a thin crack on its body. If you look into the crack, you can see the ruins of an ancient civilization, broken walls and ramparts, covered with plants. A huge, eerie creature wanders aimlessly in it.

Originally, the Divine Realm was already of great value for exploration. As far as Xia Fa knew, those extraordinary monarchs and mysterious emperors dared not venture deep into it.

In other words, the depths of this [Ruins of the Giant Sphere] have never been set foot in, and there may be some treasures hidden there.

But, more importantly—

At this moment, Xia Fa clearly saw a giant, heavily armored cavalryman, as imposing as a mountain, clad in golden armor and wielding a golden axe engraved with ancient patterns, hunting down the strange creatures in the Ruins of the Giant Sphere.
