Ultimate Gacha System: Reborn Into A Crazy Fantasy

Chapter 195  Black Myth Ruins (2)

After Aleron finished this challenge, he continued to explore the castle and within the next fifteen minutes, he found the remaining two challenge spots and completed them as well, gaining a total of 30 Mystery boxes from three challenges.

Upon completing the third challenge, an exit portal from the ruins appeared along with a notification.

[As you have completed all three challenges, you may have a chance to exit the ruins and head towards further islands for tougher challenges and better riches.]

[You can also choose to trigger the dangerous encounter to obtain the special-tier reward and an additional benefit in this realm.]

'So, I get a special reward and a benefit that's only useful in this realm…' Aleron grinned. 'Let's do it!'

Aleron knew that he was at the bottom of the castle, and he encountered the remaining challenges as he went up.

So he continued going up while searching for things. Upon opening a door after several minutes somewhere at the top, Aleron saw a starry sky for the first time. It was a garden with a green lawn, an array of flowers in the periphery, a pond, and a huge tree at the center.

'Am I outside?' Aleron narrowed his eyes as he looked at the sky, but shook his head a second later. 'Nope. I still sense a layer of space above this sky.'

He then looked at the most prominent thing in this garden—a giant tree with horrifically twisted branches that were shaped into a half-crying and half-laughing face.

'What a creepy tree in this beautiful garden.'

However, Aleron's eyes were glinting with interest and thrill with a grin on his face. 'This is it.'

*Rustle...crack…*

The tree shook.

And moved.

[You have triggered the dangerous encounter—Willow of Evil Desire.]

[Battle with wits or you shall perish.]

Aleron pointed his hand towards the tree monster that rose on its roots wiggling like countless legs, and its branches that suddenly sprouted black flowers and violet-colored fruits pulsing with yellow patterns.

'Astral Explosion.'

Aleron pointed his palm at the tree. In the next moment, a tiny black dot in space formed before the monster tree Willow, before it expanded and covered the monster in a bubble. Time and space churned and twisted, painting everything black inside with a powerful gravitation point at the center where Aleron had poured in the strongest of his energies, spending 50 billion Magilore in a single instance of a skill, which was his current limit.

Since this was the final thing he had to complete on this island, he didn't hold back, using up 50% of his soul energy to empower the conceptual potency granted in this skill.

That explosion could only be considered to be star-exploding in power. If Aleron released this attack on a planet, it would be obliterated without a trace.

This entire explosion was contained within that bubble, with the monster tree Willow taking full burnt off it.

'It should be dead.'

Aleron's eyes glinted as he observed it, but his eyes shook in the next second.

[Astral: What in the skibidi sigma bull shit is that, Mastah?!]

[Gachapi: As expected. This is a chaotic being, but restricted in a way.]

The monster tree Willow…was completely unharmed.

Instead, the previous small fruits that hung on its body were now floating with their size becoming tens of times bigger than before.

Willow's big eye sockets burned with intense black flames flickering violet and yellow flares in the mix before its half-laughing and half-crying face devilishly grinned, "$#&!"

Aleron couldn't understand its language, but the intent behind them was clear. It just said—Die.

Aleron's danger senses tingled and in the next second, those two fruits appeared to his side before exploding.

*BOOM!*

Aleron teleported away and vanished, but right at his position, two more fruits were already there and exploded, forcing Aleron to bring about his defense skill.

Naturally, his defense was top notch and he remained unharmed, but this surprised him.

'This attack is weak.'

[Astral: But it's so tough. Your crazy attack didn't even make it scratch.]

'Well, let's try something different.'

Aleron ignored the fruits as his defense could easily handle their attack power. 'Let's try my strongest arsenal if my strongest Savant-grade attack of Arcane and Soul didn't work,' Aleron licked his lips as his physical aura suddenly expotently increased.

A pair of dark gold wings with dreamy silver and black patterns emerged from his back, his skin also transformed into the scales of the same design as the wings.

A pair of exotic curved, looking demonic, but oozing regality emerged from his head while a draconic tail also manifested.

The monster tree Willow paused, "D-Delicious bloodline…."

Its eye sockets burned more intensely than ever.

"Is that so?" Aleron's teeth glinted with his big grin, and his eyes burned with thrill as he used his Bloodline's power for the first time after creating it.

The strongest bloodline he could create using the highest amount of Genome Mods he could in his desired synergy. 18 Genome Mods were weaved together in the source of this Bloodline, giving it the highest potential with attributes of all basic elements.

[Bloodline: Atherion Astral Regalord]

_Rank: Divine.

_Attributes: Water, Earth, Wind, Fire, Light, Darkness, Space, Time.]

_Anomaly Attribute: Atherion Encompass.

_Status Boost: +100% to all physical stats, +100% to Magic Potency, +100% to Soul Potency.

_Bloodline Essence: [1000/1000]

_Bloodline Abilities:

—> 1. Regalord Battle Form.

—> 2. Ability Craft.

This was a Bloodline suitable for Aleron. Even though Bloodline abilities were something that automatically awakened based on its source, and Divine-rank Bloodline usually had five Bloodline abilities, this was not the case with Aleron.

Bloodlines are formed with factors from multiple paths, and there is a limit to a Bloodline, with its last rank being divine rank. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Above Divine-rank, bloodline transforms into something else entirely but is only possible after one ascends to Paragon-rank lifeform.

Aleron crafted his Bloodline with consideration of his capabilities, as he had already marked Geno Mods that were useful to him. At the moment, Aleron's Bloodline was at the very peak of Divine rank and he only lacked a single thing, but the most important thing to evolve it beyond.

Monster tree Willow immediately sensed it and Aleron also knew why it wanted his Bloodline.

Because this monster fed on it, its source was actually a strange bloodline of higher power that he couldn't comprehend yet.

However, it was also full of restrictions.

And since his Savant-grade skill of Arcane and Soul path didn't work, the only power he didn't try was body path's attack.

Aleron attacked the monster, executing a martial technique as he appeared behind the Willow in a blink, his palm open.

Vigor Energy burst forth from his body, shaped by Magilore, and enhanced by his soul power.

'Let's call this…Wilting Force Palm.'

He poured his in Bloodline Essence, using Ability Craft to quickly construct an essence of power containing Darkness, Water, Flame, Space, and Time—using their aspects to create a power source that was converted for his Body.

Wilting Force.

His physical power gained Wilting Force's attribute and was boosted by 50% of his vigor force, and its potency was boosted by using 20% of his soul energy along with Magilore's energy.

If the previous Savant-grade skill was Arcane and Soul based. This skill was Body, Arcane, and Soul based, with the primary medium being Physical Force manifested via Vigor energy that received attributes and boosts from Arcane and Soul paths.

*Boom!*

This time, the monster tree Willow's back exploded and scattered while the rest of its body started decaying swiftly.

"There it goes," Aleron wiped his forehead and smiled.

[Gachapi: Damn, you are actually getting close to Paragon-rank's efficiency when it comes to utilizing all three paths.]

[Astral: What is so special about Paragon-rank?]

[Gachapi: Well, let's just say that in that lifeform rank, you unify all three paths and open the path to the new realm of power and combat.]

'So this is the special-tier reward, eh?' Aleron's eyes shone as he saw the notification that appeared after he defeated the Monster Tree Willow.

[You have displayed superb mastery of Body Path while utilizing the other two paths with it and finished off a challenging foe in a single attack. You have acquired a perfect score.]

[You are rewarded with a Special-tier Treasure Chest, bearing a power source of higher cosmos and other rewards. You are also granted an advanced island transfer pass, allowing you to enter Mid-tier islands by skipping the mandatory completion of three low-tier islands' exploration.]

'Interesting. So this transfer pass is a special benefit, eh?'

Aleron entered through the exit portal and found himself in the true sky of the Black Myth Ruins' realm, appearing above an island with a huge broken castle below him.

'So I was there.'

Aleron looked away from the castle and lay his gaze towards the most important island. 'That far away island sure is big and that tower on it as well.'

Aleron flew towards it, but after he crossed a bunch of islands, he crashed into a barrier and got a notification.

[You can use the pass to go past the low-tier Islands. Would you like to use it?]

Aleron understood everything and grinned.

'Mid-tier islands must have better rewards and there are so many. Moreover, this is the race about who reaches that center island.'

It was obvious that he would choose to use the pass! But before that, it was time to open the special-tier treasure chest.

'Let's see what it contains.'

[Gachapi: We might trigger a random Banner after a long time, hehe.]
