"It seems this much isn't still enough for you to be in despair, huh?" I whispered to myself, watching the broken Litch through the haze of battle. Even with his Skills suspended and his ancient frame rattling, he clung to his life with a stubborn, pathetic tenacity. Perhaps he was counting on the suspension being temporary, waiting for the moment his demonic reprieve would return to him.
Well, if the Litch needed to witness a magic he had never seen before to truly feel the weight of despair, then I would provide it. But I wasn't just doing this for him. I would show the entirety of the 'Tower of Trials' and every single one of the {Constellations} watching us from the comfort of the Higher Floors exactly what a human was capable of.
"[Activating The Exclusive Skill, 'Fusion'!]"
"[Fusing The Exclusive Skills, 'Blood Authority', 'Blessings of the Stars', 'Body Reinforcement' and 'Dance of the Red Hare'....!]"
The air around me vibrated violently. The very fabric of reality began to tear as I forced these conflicting powers into a single point. The system windows began to scream in a frantic, blood-red hue.
"[Warning! You are fusing Exclusive Skills that go against the 'Probability' of the 'Tower of Trials'!]"
"[Warning! The 'Status' of something that does not exist within the 'Tower of Trials' have been detected!]"
"[Warning! The Tower's 'Restriction' and 'Probability' have been applied!!]"
"[Notice: Your 'Transcendent' body is suffering the backlash of 'Probability'!]"
Pain, unlike anything I had felt in this life, ripped through my nerves. As the birth of an entirely new energy began to take place, my [Transcendent] Constitution was pushed to its absolute limit. I felt my lungs burn as I vomited a thick spray of blood, the internal pressure threatening to liquefy my organs. But I wasn't about to back down. I wasn't going to let the Tower's 'Probability' crush the birth of something new.
"[Activating 'Nymph's Songs' Lvl 1!]"
"[Activating 'Dark Armour' Lvl 1!]"
"[Activating 'Hell Flame' Lvl 1!]"
"[Notice: You have consumed the C-Rank Item, 'Ant Queen's Blood'!]"
"[Notice: Your 'Mana' and 'HP' have been refilled!]"
"[Notice: The effects of the Passive Skill 'Longevity' is actively repairing your damaged body!]"
I forced my body to hold together, my spirit acting as the anvil for the forging of this power.
"{Who.... What.. the... Hell are you!?}"
The Litch spoke, his voice trembling with a weakness that hadn't been there before. He could feel it. Even with his eyes clouded by death, he detected the resonance of a new energy that not even a being of his age and dark knowledge had ever encountered. The fact that I possessed the Exclusive Skill [Fusion] was shocking enough, but to witness me forcing 'Divinity', 'Blood', 'Demonic Energy' from the Flames of Hell, and physical acceleration into a single entity was beyond his comprehension.
"[Activating 'Monopoly' Lvl 1!]"
"[Notice: You are able to reap the best possible outcome!]"
"[Activating the 4-Star Barrier, 'Labyrinth of Severed Causality'!]"
"[Activating 'Moon Imprint' Lvl 1!]"
"[Notice: Your 'Barrier' Skills have been greatly enhanced!]"
I added a few more Skills to stabilize the violent, chaotic swirl of energy surrounding me. The [Labyrinth of Severed Causality], amplified by [Moon Imprint] and [Monopoly], began to weave a space that bypassed the Tower's 'Restriction'. It carved out a small pocket of existence where the laws of 'Probability' no longer applied.
"[Congratulations! You have successfully fulfilled the Copy Condition, 'Show him a magic that he could not even achieve in his long lifetime'!]"
"[Notice: You have successfully Copied the Exclusive Skill, 'Domain of the Undead' and the ???-Rank Skill 'Eye of the Dragon'!]"
"[Notice: The Rank of the Skill 'Eye of the Dragon' has been adjusted to an S-Rank!]"
"[Notice: The Copied Skills are being successfully added to the 'Memories of the World'!]"
The notifications flickered across my vision, but the fusion wasn't even complete yet. It didn't matter. The Litch had already fallen into a state of total despair. He looked at me as if I were a monster greater than any found in the pits of [Pandemonium]. He had discovered a magic that neither the {Demon Kings} nor their natural enemies, the {Archangels}, could ever hope to claim as their own.
"[Congratulations! You have successfully obtained an Exclusive Skill that has never seen before in the 'Tower of Trials'. You have obtained The Exclusive Skill, 'Crimson Constellation Sovereign'!]"
"[Notice: The nature and new energy detected from this Exclusive Skill have been combined with your 'Mana'!]"
"[Notice: Your 'Mana' has been changed to 'Chaos'!]"
The weight of my power shifted, turning into something deep, dark, and terrifyingly vast. My very essence had evolved. And with that evolution, the eyes of the universe turned toward a single point.
"[Notice: The {Demon Kings} of [Pandemonium] are paying attention to you!]"
"[Notice: The {Archangels} of [Eden] are paying attention to you!]"
"[Notice: A huge number of {Constellations} are paying attention to you!]"
