I glanced at my stats as I found out that all my growth had increased by 10k each, which was amazing by itself, and then, each stat gained a few millions too, which made my entire body and soul feel stronger than before.

The Infernal Core was glowing eerily as it granted me this power, it was a wondrous jewel of infernal properties. Usually, I would require more Infernal Energy to refine it too, but by leveling, it can be refined automatically through the EXP energy, like the Beast Orb, so it can be fine by itself and it has become just another way to have even larger stats!

Going around collecting the ways of energies and cultivation of every world seems interesting and a fun way to grow stronger… My System allows me to assimilate all these energies into it, so even if there is some disruption, it quickly ceases and it all becomes Mana in the status panel.

The more Cores I fill my body with, the more Mana I get, meaning the more fuel I get. Which is one of my great goals.

Now that I was done with this little thing, I flew towards the Skill Fusion building and entered hurriedly, touching the sphere.

I was greeted with a system window showing what looked like a smithy.

In there, I could place Skills I had, which emerged like a game-like window where each skill had a square with some kind of decoration on it. Like real games from Earth…

By placing the skills there, with each one having their own unique picture, I was able to fuse them.

The limit seemed to not exist, but the more skills I fused at the same time, the more costly it became.

Indeed, nothing is free in this world, depending in the rank of the skills and how many I fused together, the cost of resources became bigger and bigger, until astronomical levels.

I won't be able to fuse everything I want right away, but we'll start with a super important fusion which might eat most of my resources right away…

And that was… fusing all my Physique-related skills together.

<Yes> <No>

"Gaia, do I have enough resources for this one?" I asked Gaia.

"It is possible, but the original cost is perhaps way more than you have. However, I can lower the price by making the ability be capable of evolving with you, as it develops, it will unlock more of its power. Actually, if we do it this way, it would also cause the ability to become even stronger than it might originally be."

"Such a thing is possible…? Alright…"

I felt like this fusion was going to be big. After all, it encompasses all my physique and psyche Skills, if I just merge all of their amazing effects, wouldn't the result be insane?

Without thinking it twice, I pressed "Yes".

Ding![You've exchanged 100 Orbs, 4.350.000 Gold, 1.650.000 Hero Feathers, 1.400.000 Hero Fragments, and 2.700.000 Skill Points]

It even needed Orbs?! It was that amazing?!

FLASH!

The orb where the fusion was done glowed brighter than anything.

It encompassed my entire body, as my consciousness dived into a completely different place within this brightness.

Where the heck am I?

I ended in a place of beautiful bright colors, everywhere, everything looked illusory.

It was a mystical place, everything seemed… special.

Was I in some mystical plane? Somewhere else?

But how?

I saw constant flows of ethereal essence flow through everywhere.

Around me, they gathered, and began to pour themselves into my body.

I began to absorb all of this beautiful essence, glistening like the richest of energies.

The lights gathered around me and continued to merge with my body without stopping.

I glanced everywhere; I barely knew what was happening.

But something within me awakened.

I felt… something happening.

It felt as if I was acquiring and fusing with something precious and treasurable.

An incredible treasure I never thought I could land my hands into.

And all of it by just merging many physique and psyche skills?!

Isn't this a bit… exaggerated?

No matter what I felt, it didn't stop, as the energies converged and gathered around me, flowing into my body.

At some point, my entire body melted away and dissipated into nothingness, only leaving this energy behind, which materialized and reformed my entire body.

My soul also suffered the same changes.

At some point, I felt as if I died.

My mind went blank for a second, only to be reborn anew through this refinement.

What is this energy? How can it do such a thing?

"Gaia… are you there? Can you tell me what's happening?"

But no one answered me, Gaia wasn't here… Only I was here.

I looked around the brightness of this plane, as it filled me with power, but also with a strong solitude.

I don't know how much time I spent here.

At some point, I lost the perception of time.
