My Talent's Name Is Generator Chapter 848 Abyss Adaptation

A mere two days had elapsed since I conferred with Xeron. During that brief window, the state of affairs across the seventy-two bases had reached a state of stability far quicker than my initial projections.

My summons remained in constant motion between these outposts, flickering in and out of sight like dark phantoms scattered across the galaxy. Ragnar, Knight, Lyrate, and Ash had been nothing if not absolute in their adherence to my directives. Any party that ventured even slightly close to scouting the bases received a single warning.

Those who lingered were met with death.

Information traveled swiftly, and the news that entire scouting parties had been erased without a trace caused the surrounding regions of space to plunge into an eerie, suffocating silence.

At least for the present.

I lingered suspended high within the atmosphere of Abor, feeling the biting chill of the wind against my skin as I surveyed the vacant metropolis below. Its expansive avenues, which had once bustled with Hollow Star operatives and traitors colluding with the Eternals, were utterly still. During the initial seizure, not a single one was spared.

I had purged every individual from the city proper, relocating the lot of them to a containment isle constructed within the heart of Abor’s immense ocean.

Leveraging my current grasp on runic arts, establishing a foolproof containment field proved simple enough. The island was encased in overlapping runic formations, meticulously designed to lock spatial dimensions, suppress Essence flow, and curb all physical movement.

Attempting an escape would be a fool’s errand, even for a fighter of Master rank. Furthermore, I had stripped them of every shard of Law they held before throwing them into that prison.

Most were reduced to Master rank instantly. To ensure security, I posted demonic guards around the perimeter.

For now, they were merely captives.

Eventually… they would prove useful.

Shifting my focus away from the city, I exhaled a slow, controlled breath. A bizarre phenomenon had manifested over these past two days.

My flesh was reacting to Essence with increasing volatility. Without warning, a silvery luminescence would erupt to shroud me.

Every occurrence triggered the ambient Essence to converge upon me instinctively, as though responding to a command I hadn't voiced.

Time and again, I was forced to exert my will to suppress it.

Repel the Essence. Force it back.

What truly perplexed me was that the violet Essence under my direct command remained entirely docile. When I actively utilized my violet Essence, that distinct glow remained absent.

It only surfaced spontaneously… whenever I sought no control at all.

I furrowed my brow, peering down at my palms. Even now, particles of Essence were languidly drifting toward me.

The threshold of the Saint was drawing nearer.

With every passing hour, that sensation grew more defined.

Yet, ascending was not merely a question of accumulated power. I was bound by precise conditions—stipulations imposed by Amun. Paramount among these was the expansion of my soul to a height of three hundred and thirty-three feet.

His words echoed in my memory.

"Every Law you possess must reach Major Level Five. Should you seek to acquire additional Laws, do so now and elevate them all to that same threshold. Your physical attributes must evolve from Omega to Pre-Origin. Your soul height must attain three hundred and thirty-three feet. Finally, you must accumulate a sum of one hundred million merit points."

I released a heavy breath.

At this moment, I remained far from satisfying those requirements. Not a single Law had breached Major Level Five, and my merit count fell significantly short of the hundred-million benchmark. Even after driving my Psynapse past the nine-thousand mark, my frame had yet to bridge the gap from Omega to Pre-Origin.

Ten thousand—that was my next targeted milestone.

If my analysis held true, tapping into that level of Psynapse might herald the next refinement of my physical form.

At least… that remained my hypothesis.

As for the expansion of my soul, the situation was far more precarious. Soul growth is inherently treacherous; to hasten it is to court danger. For the moment, deliberate, incremental strengthening was my only viable path.

Releasing another exhale, I summoned the system interface.

I scrutinized the status window as the data scrolled before me. Following the recent combat and Essence infusion, several attributes had ticked upward. A few skills had shown incremental maturity, though none were revolutionary. Still, in these circumstances, every marginal gain felt significant.

My eyes swept across the list until a specific recollection surfaced.

Ash.

During our exchange two days prior, I realized I had neglected to harvest a trait from him, so I rectified that oversight. A faint smirk tugged at my lips as I recalled the successful acquisition.

Abyss Adaptation.

At the time, I had utilized it merely to verify its function, leaving its true potential unexplored.

I extended a hand, palm open.

"Let us see what you can truly do..."

Upon activation, a tremor coursed through my body—a profound, internal shiver, as if a hidden alignment had finally clicked into place.

Then, the effect surged.

Fine violet runes materialized along the Essence conduits beneath my dermis. They raced across my frame with blinding speed, meticulously charting every path of power flow. For a fleeting instant, my meridians blazed like a lattice of violet lightning.

Then, the runes vanished.

The Abyss Core responded instantly, its dark center pulsing deep within my Dawn Core.

I pulled the trigger.

Deathmist surged upward. A dense, abyssal torrent of black power flooded my meridians like a deluge breaching a levee.

Under normal circumstances, Deathmist would have corroded everything in its path.

But now… my body embraced it.

The mist moved with fluid ease through my conduits, as though those channels were designed specifically for its cold passage. A second later, it tore free from my body.

Black flames erupted outward. Thick plumes of Deathmist spiraled off my form, swirling like dark, hungry fire. The sky dimmed as the mist spiraled outward in suffocating spirals.

I looked down at my hand. For a heartbeat, it seemed alien. Jet-black veins traced patterns beneath my skin, appearing like rivers of shadow. Even my nails had transformed, hardening into sharp, metallic obsidian.

Despite this, there was no sign of corruption or corrosion from the dark mist. My entire being was swaddled in burning, blackened shadow.

The singular point of light that remained on my form…

Were my own glowing, violet eyes.
