Just as Raion completed his internal scheming, the large transformations occurring to the subordinates of Raion had reached the conclusion. Green lights swirled around Hou, Huxian, and Dorian.
The first transformation amongst them to be completed was Hou. His lean body acquired a little more meat, and he even developed slightly visible muscles. Apart from that, a long structure could be seen rapidly forming at the end of his spine. First was the bone fragments, then the combination of said fragments, after that forming of tissues, then the formation of muscles and next was the outer covering; the skin of the structure, which was covered in brown fur. And voila, a tail was successfully formed.
Now he could truly live up to his name as Hou.
"Hmm, Deadman Clown ability, excellent. This skinny fellow will have a very good time with his opponents. Hopefully, they enjoy his skills as much as he enjoys playing with them,"
Raion muttered under his breath, speculating on a possible future for this monkey. Hou observed his new body by testing his physical limits, jumping, running around the room like a monkey, no pun intended (hehe, kidding pun totally intended XD).
Next was Huxian. Her transformation was not visible. Well, it was not visible, because the normal human eye could not see it. But amidst the transformations that would occur then, this had to be the most flashy. The eye hole of the fox mask she wore closed, and the mask was complete again, no indentation of any sort. However, before the mask closed up, there were two bright violet eyes that blinked, causing violent void tears and illusions around her.
It seemed the Deadman cell implantation had more effects on her than it gave off.
"Hmm, Deadman Phantasm ability, wonderful. People on earth have unimaginable compatibility with the Deadman cell implantation especially if they had any special skills beforehand. Kakaka with this, I could train an army of Ancient One's with myriad powers, all from the same source!"
Raion spoke excitedly as he sat straight on the throne made of the fleshes of different beasts. Finally, he turned to Dorian. This fellow had the most lowkey transformation, no visible changes were observed, but his brown eyes seemed to contain a scholarly light in them. Raion's suspicions were confirmed after a minute of observation. When he was assimilating with the Deadman Cells, his skin pores opened up and absorbed the brown energy particles floating around him. While this could be called lowkey, it was truly amazing.
"This is unprecedented. He directly skipped the Energy Vortex level and directly went on to the Energy Maelstrom level. He is now a Pseudo Ancient One, one more step of his will determine whether he will become an Ancient One or not. Amazing, but what specialization does he come under?"
Dorian, overhearing his mutters, promptly answered Raion's question.
"My specialization is Proficiency. As long as I have some knowledge of something, I can easily reach expertise in that said subject easily. If I manage to advance to become an Ancient One, I can switch specializations."
"Oh, good. You already have a good grasp of the situation, wonderful, one less person to explain to. Now, I suggest that you switch specializations to Omnipotence, as someone who dabbles in Omnipotence, I can say that it will come with unexpected benefits,"
"Yes, Lord Raion. I shall take your suggestions to heart,"
'Good, this twenty-year trip in the Myriad Dimensions Multiverse has not been wasted. Not only have I calculated the time that the seal on the Multiverse will be at its weakest, but I also snagged some good talents at the same time. Hehehe. Almost, just a bit more and this marionette overture initiated by those two will come to an end!'
Raion thought cheerfully, but upon reaching the words "those two," the expression on his face changed into one of hatred and disdain from an expression of thoughtfulness.
'Ah, I almost forgot about that rude Isis girl, I told her to go meditate, I wonder how she's doing now.'
Isis, who seemed like a competent and confident girl, was actually having a hard time. The situation wasn't that hard to understand; Her natural affinity with energy particles was very low, people like her who had a low affinity with energy particles had to train twice as hard, and if they were able to receive the inheritance of an Ancient One or a Seraphim.
Raion carefully projected a part of his mind and penetrated her mental fortress of a brain. The memories of a mortal were as clear as day to him, and he had to say, the Isis girl had a slightly tragic past.
Not an orphan but ran away from her parents, all the way from Europe to China, she used every mean she had or could think of to earn money to travel, and this had started when she was about ten years, precisely the time she Inherited the powers of the Seraphim of Protection and Magic. From then on, she went on to capture criminals as a bounty hunter in China.
She also started a legend as the female incarnation of the legendary deity Nezha. Heck, in a way with her powers, this could be considered a half-truth.
'Hmm, let me finish up here. I don't intend to spend too much time in this pitiful place of a mind,'
With this, he stimulated Isis's mind with Divine Energy Particles (advanced version of energy particles).
He made her see that a lot of people helped her on the road here, meaning that she was not alone, the Seraphim who gave her the powers believed that she could accomplish its goals, it saw the determination and a burning flame within her that would not be extinguished easily.
Isis's body shook violently and at the same time, a silently flickering violet candle flame was lit in her heart. A powerful force surged out of her body in the form of a purple barrier that swept the people in the room away, well except Raion.
His mind was filled with question marks, even his weakest of beakers had more grounding ability than them.
"Oh, now this is very unexpected. Peak Energy Vortex level. This pushes my plan forward by a long shot."
