"Hahaha!" The sweet sound of the system's voice sends shivers down his spine. Suddenly, his aura erupted; even Eclipshea was blown away by his power.
ROAR! ROAR! His two avatars came out of his body; they let out majestic roars as their bodies seemed to have become more corporeal; they only needed a body to occupy to transform into physical entities.
"Amazing! Just one supernatural gene actually increased my strength this much; unfortunately, obtaining them is incredibly difficult."
Unlike normal and advanced genes, not every supernatural lifeform would give ten supernatural genes, not to mention that there are some special requirements for obtaining them.
For a special ability user like the Wretched Flying Eye, one needs to either eat the part where they use their supernatural ability or eat its heart. Of course, because the energy is focused on that one part, the chances of obtaining two supernatural genes are quite high, and it is guaranteed to obtain at least one gene enhancement.
For a physical user like the Azure Berserk Monkey, one needs to force it to use its supernatural ability; only then would they have a chance of obtaining a supernatural gene, but still, with such a large body, it is extremely difficult to obtain more than three gene enhancements.
"To think I would be so lucky to obtain one from half of the carcass." He laughs out loud, but he knows that he might get lucky once again; after all, this particular Azure Berserk Monkey is a bloodline monster.
As Eclipshea watched her master devour the entire carcass in front of him like a starved beast, she was calculating his chances of obtaining another enhancement.
After finishing the entire body that was given to him, even grinding the bones into powder using his powerful teeth, he had obtained another supernatural gene.
He is not afraid of experiencing a cleansing, as the peak of the dragon-tiger body tempering technique easily absorbs the energy and distributes the massive amount of energy all over his body.
Clenching his fist, he punches the air, causing a shockwave. Because of his power, he exhales a breath of impurity.
'I think it is time to return to the first realm! ' With his newfound strength, he gains the confidence that he can survive the attack from the Wretched Flying Eye; in fact, as long as he can gain it's soul blessing, he can make Leon evolve.
According to the system, the amount of soul power that Leon had gained from slaying the Azure Berserk Monkey was just too much, and even with the heavenly punishment, they managed to survive.
"With the Thunder Cloud Dragon Form and Malevolent Tiger Form, my dragon-tiger body tempering technique has now reached a stable balance between them; it seems that I need to start hunting tiger and dragon-type lifeforms." He starts planning his next plan.
Fortunately, there are a lot of tiger-type lifeforms, and there are also multiple lifeforms that have dragon bloodlines. They might be incredibly thin, but at least they are enough for the sacrifice.
"Eclipshea, call Elcio here and tell him to prepare for our return to the Realm of the Thousand Worlds." Since his research reached a dead end, he decided to focus on improving his strength.
"Master, I suggest that you continue resting; the degree of injury that your body has suffered is incredibly high," Eclipshea suggested. She does not know just how abnormal his body is.
With the flesh of the Azure Berserk Monkey packed with energy, he had basically recovered to his peak condition; in fact, the energy that he had obtained was so great that it increased his physical attributes.
It did not take long before Elcio arrived at the training room. He was carrying bags filled with nothing but cooking utensils and ingredients. He had decided to embark on the path of a cook, and he knew that his strength would not increase drastically in such a short amount of time.
Also, he gained more improvement in fighting in real life rather than training. Since this is the case, he decided that rather than training fruitlessly, he should learn how to serve his master better, and the easiest path to this is by learning to cook different types of dishes.
"I suggest that you carry more clothes for our master," Eclipshea reminded him. Considering the transformation that Cleo has, it is only normal to bring more clothes.
Elcio was so excited to showcase his cooking skills that he had forgotten such an improved thing. He slapped his head and returned with another bag; all of the bags that he was carrying were made of dimension-resistant fabric.
Now that there is a war going on, the Oriend Family is no longer trying to save up money; they started spending a large amount in order to give more security to their descendants and servants.
When they arrived at the first realm, they were shocked by what was presented in front of them; burning buildings and other destroyed infrastructure could be seen everywhere.
"Elcio, try to find out what happened during our absence." He ordered solemnly. He can sense the tense atmosphere in the air; his Malevolent Tiger spirit is maniacally laughing; it seems to be happy with the current situation.
Dense killing intent is absorbed into his body, causing the Malevolent Tiger spirit to roar out loud, but since it cannot manifest like the main avatars, its roar was not heard by anyone.
Elcio returns with a deep expression, releases a deep sigh, and reports.
"The genetic lifeforms have attacked our stronghold multiple times during these past days; the destruction that can be seen everywhere is mostly caused by flying and elemental-type lifeforms."
Cleo frowns.
"This is a proper stronghold; I know that our air defence is not that shabby; how did those flying and elemental lifeforms cause this much destruction?"
Elcio shakes his head, indicating that he does not know.
"But do not worry, young master; once we arrive at our base, I will immediately compile the list of information that our intelligence agency has gathered."
It seems that this is the only thing they can do. As they passed by the people defending the stronghold, he could sense the killing intent from them; the amount of blood they had spilled was definitely not small.
"Wait, Elcio, I am waiting for someone; he will definitely be an asset for our family." Suddenly, he stops as an individual covered in armour appears—it was none other than Leon, wearing his Ant Army armour.
"Young master, is he?" Seemingly realising something, Elcio was shocked as he pointed at Leon with disbelief.
"Yes, he is my partner, Leon; he has been recovering after our last battle; the two of us have a unique way of communicating." Cleo made up some BS in order to make Leon's existence believable.
"Wow! Everyone said that he had died during our last battle, but to think that he had managed to survive even after being attacked by multiple Blue Rage Monkeys and Azure Berserk Monkeys!" Elcio was stunned. He looked at Leon with intense admiration.
"Yes, even I was shocked, but we should focus on a much more important mission right now; we should be going to our base." Changing the topic, he orders Leon to follow them while releasing his aura.
He can sense the hostility in the eyes of some people; they should let them know that they are not people to be messed with.
"Halt! Only family members and subordinates of the Oriend Family can enter!" Suddenly, a dozen menacing guards stop the trio.
One of the guards spoke.
"Elcio, why are you here? I thought that you should be resting together with young master Cleo."
He is one of Flare's guards that were assigned to protect Cleo; he and a couple of his comrades are now assigned to guard their base. It seems that other than the genetic lifeforms, they are also watching out for genetic warriors.
"What?" Cleo was confused. He is clearly standing in front of them; why can they not recognise him?
"Young master, your current form right now is very misleading; it is as if you are a member of the Beastman Race, more specifically, the tiger folks."
He is startled. He quickly takes out a mirror from Elcio's backpack and looks at his face. Just like he said, he truly looks like a tiger.
It seems that the Malevolent Tiger spirit has absorbed so much resentment and killing intent that it has affected his appearance.
Electricity courses through his body as the roar of the Thunder Cloud Dragon spirit rings inside of him, causing his form to return to normal.
"Young master Cleo, welcome back." Kneels one of the guards, then, one by one, the other guards also kneel in front of him.
For them, he was a hero; just with his incomplete normal and advanced gene enhancement, he managed to turn the tides of the battle; he even joined the battle against the supernatural lifeforms. According to some rumours that they heard, he was actually one of the major reasons why their supernatural warriors managed to survive.
