YM778.TV Chapter 132: Merge
Now, Ray could even bind undead who were at the celestial level or those who had broken their Gene limits.
Not only that, but he was able to control an infinite number of undead at or below the celestial level, especially with the trump card of summoning that skeletal figure.
Ray could sense that this grim reaper was definitely on a higher plane than a celestial.
For a B-class skill, if it could exceed that limit, he would honestly be surprised to the point of disbelief.

[Skills (cannot be advanced): Body Strengthening (Awakening IV), Necromancer (Awakening IV), Analyser (Awakening I), Weapon Master (Awakening I), Mechanic (Awakening I), Totem Master (Awakening I)]
—
These skills could no longer be advanced, leaving Ray with the following skills that could still be upgraded:
—
[Skills: Fire Magic (Awakening III), Lightning Arts (Awakening III), Healer (Awakening III), Ice Magic (Awakening III), Genetic Synchronisation (Awakening III), Overlord of the Sky (Awakening III), Space Mastery (Awakening II)]
—
"Let\'s advance them all."
Ray muttered and began to upgrade the skills systematically.
[Fire Magic (Awakening III)] - [Fire Magic (Awakening VI)]
[Lightning Arts (Awakening III)] - [Lightning Arts (Awakening IV)]
"Hmm?" Ray paused, not because of the information appearing in his mind but due to the red screen that flashed right in front of his eyes.
[It is detected that the host has upgraded (B-class) Lightning Arts to its limits. Do you want to merge Lightning Arts with the (A-class) Overlord of the Sky?]
"Of course I do, is that even a question?"
Ray almost jumped on the spot. He had been able to use Lightning Arts even while using Overlord of the Sky, and these two skills seemed to merge almost seamlessly. This made him doubt whether a merger was possible.
To his absolute astonishment, it was happening right now, the moment Ray accepted the merge.
The section for his Lightning Arts skill vanished, but at the same time, vast information appeared in Ray\'s mind.
Ray quickly filtered all the information into concise details.
At the same time, his body underwent another round of strengthening with him becoming seemingly even more teeming with vitality.
—
Physique and Vitality: 105 original
—
"Not bad." Ray shrugged. The higher his Physique and Vitality, the harder it became to increase them, if it wasn\'t for the Lightning Arts which also focused on the body, it would be difficult for it to be increased by even one point.
"Hmm?"
The almost immediate effect after merging the two skills was…
Ray extended his hand, and the space around him rippled as electric currents began to gather. In the blink of an eye, electric currents formed in bits and pieces.
He focused his will, and the currents responded instantly, reshaping themselves under his Will. The jagged, flickering lines of electricity smoothed and elongated, forming a gleaming sword of electric blue that hummed softly.
With a mere thought, the sword dissolved into a swirling mass, and the electric current reformed into the compact, precise shape of a small pistol.
Ray caught the electric-shaped pistol, removed the invisible safety pin (or acted as if he did), pulled the non-existent trigger, and shot…
Bang!
The kinetic energy shot forward, with a small ball of electric energy whizzing through the air and striking the wall squarely, causing an instant explosion.
Ray looked at the giant hole and the scorched area surrounding it with a bit of satisfaction, not because of the damage but because of the sheer control he now had over his Lightning elements.
This could no longer be considered just an Art; even Magic wouldn\'t allow him to create a gun with such ease.
Ray looked at the table in front of him and moved his hand again, causing the table to float off the ground.
"Hmm, my telekinetic ability has increased as well."
Ray glanced at the ceiling, not really at the ceiling but his thoughts were directed at the sky. He was tempted to use the full power of his skill but was too afraid that it might destroy the city he had built.
"Hmm, should I really use it?"
From the combination of the skills, Ray was able to seamlessly merge Lightning Arts with Overlord of the Sky. While he did experience an increase in all his abilities, he didn\'t actually gain any new abilities.
However, this seamless merging itself was an ability of its own.
As long as Ray had enough mutation energy, he could literally flood the entire city with lightning.
The only thing he didn\'t lack right now was mutation energy.
Eight thousand mutation energy was required to advance both Necromancer and Lightning Arts, while Fire Magic only took a meagre two thousand mutation energy.
He still had a lot of mutation energy remaining.
For Fire Magic, the most notable change was his mental strength, which had now directly crossed the two hundred mark.
These stats were terrifying; he could basically visualize any spell in the blink of an eye, and his overall mental capability had increased to a large extent, indirectly boosting all the power of his skills as well.
"Hmm, Healer skill now…"
Ray immediately upgraded the skill.
[Healer (Awakening III)] - [Healer (Awakening IV)]
There wasn\'t a significant change, though his mutation energy decreased by another two thousand. In total, twelve thousand mutation energy had been spent so far.
[Ice Magic (Awakening III)] - [Ice Magic (Awakening IV)]
This also reduced his mutation energy by two thousand. The only notable difference was an increase in his mental strength.
But this mutation energy expenditure had increased almost all of Ray\'s skills\' power overall, which was definitely very satisfactory for him.
"Now for the A-class skills."
[Genetic Synchronisation (Awakening III)] - [Genetic Synchronisation (Awakening IV)]
"Hmm, I can bind with more people—exactly a thousand—and gain a permanent skill with a hundred percent chance?"
It took Ray ten thousand mutation energy to upgrade this A-class skill.
When Ray looked again, to his absolute surprise, it could still be advanced.
