My Talent's Name Is Generator Chapter 848 Abyss Adaptation

Forty-eight hours had elapsed since my encounter with Xeron. Within that brief window, stability had returned across the seventy-two bases more rapidly than I had anticipated.

My summons operated like spectral entities across the galaxy, shifting between bases with restless frequency. Ragnar, Knight, Lyrate, and Ash had been nothing if not precise in executing my commands. Every individual who ventured near the containment zones received a singular warning.

Should they linger, they met their end.

News traveled fast when entire reconnaissance units vanished without a whisper, causing the surrounding celestial region to fall into a heavy, unnatural silence.

For the time being, at least.

I lingered high within the atmosphere of Abor, feeling the frigid air whip against me as I surveyed the desolate cityscape below. Those expansive boulevards—formerly teeming with Hollow Star operatives and traitors colluding with the Eternals—held no movement. Every culprit had been apprehended during our swift takeover.

Prohibiting anyone from remaining in the city, I had relocated them to a fortified island I constructed in the heart of Abor’s vast ocean.

Leveraging my current understanding of runes, building an effective containment perimeter proved straightforward. The island was encased in overlapping runic formations designed to lock space, impede energy circulation, and restrict physical movement.

Escape would be a pipe dream, even for a Master rank combatant. Furthermore, I had personally extracted every fragment of Law from them beforehand.

Most had plummeted in rank to Master immediately following the extraction. To ensure compliance, I positioned demon sentinels to watch over the facility.

For the present, they were mere captives.

Eventually… they would serve a greater purpose.

I exhaled slowly, turning my focus away from the silent city. These past couple of days had been marked by a peculiar phenomenon.

My physical vessel had begun responding to Essence with increasing volatility. Without warning, a silver radiance would flare, encircling me.

Whenever this occurred, the Essence in my proximity would migrate toward me instinctively, obeying a silent, unspoken authority.

Each time, I was forced to exert my will to suppress it.

I had to repel the Essence manually.

The confounding part was that the violet Essence I typically commanded remained entirely predictable; it never triggered that silver aura when I exercised active control.

It only materialized at random intervals… during moments of total stillness.

I peered at my hand, a furrow forming on my brow. Even now, minuscule particles of Essence drifted lazily, drawn toward me.

The Saint threshold drew near.

I sensed its approach more distinctly with every ticking hour.

However, reaching such a pinnacle was not merely a matter of brute force. Specific conditions imposed by Amun had to be satisfied. The most daunting of these was expanding my soul to a stature of three hundred and thirty-three feet.

I recalled his exact words.

"Every Law you possess must reach Major Level Five. If you desire additional Laws, acquire and advance them to that threshold now. Your physical attributes must transition from Omega to Pre-Origin. Your soul must reach a height of three hundred and thirty-three feet. Finally, you must amass one hundred million merit points."

I sighed, the sound lost to the high-altitude winds.

Currently, I fell short of these mandates. None of my Laws had reached the Major Level Five standard, and my merit points were significantly below the target count. Despite pushing my Psynapse past the mark of nine thousand, my body remained stuck at the Omega level.

Ten thousand. That was the next milestone I targeted.

If my deductions held true, achieving that level of Psynapse might trigger the next metamorphic shift in my physiology.

At least… that remained my hypothesis.

As for the expansion of my soul, the dilemma felt even more intricate. Soul cultivation was never a linear path, and artificial acceleration risked catastrophic consequences. For the moment, I had to be content with gradual, methodical progress.

I breathed out once more and summoned my system interface.

My stats had seen marginal gains following recent conflicts and Essence infusions, and while no skill had evolved drastically, every increment felt crucial.

My contemplation shifted to a new thought.

Ash.

It occurred to me that I hadn't yet utilized the trait I harvested from him two days ago. A faint smile touched my lips as the memory resurfaced.

Abyss Adaptation.

Back then, I had only tested it enough to confirm its function, failing to explore its true depth.

I extended my palm.

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

As the trait activated, a deep tremor surged through me, as if my internal systems were suddenly realigning.

Then it unfolded.

Delicate violet runes flickered across the Essence channels beneath my dermis. They raced through my frame, mapping every path where energy pulsed. For one heartbeat, my body resembled a web of violet lightning.

Then the runes dissipated.

The Abyss Core responded instantly. Deep within the core of my Dawn Core, the dark anchor throbbed.

I exerted my influence upon it.

Deathmist surged upward, a torrent of dark energy rushing through my channels like a river breaching a dike.

In any other circumstance, Deathmist would have corroded everything in its reach.

But now… my frame welcomed it.

The mist moved with fluid ease, as though my channels had been fashioned for this very purpose. In the next instant, it erupted from my skin.

Raven-black flames billowed around me. Thick waves of Deathmist cascaded from my body like dark, swirling fires, dimming the sky as they spiraled outward.

I gazed at my hand, scarcely recognizing the aesthetic. Obsidian veins pulsed beneath my skin like rivulets of shadow, and my fingernails had morphed into sharpened, metallic claws of jet black.

Despite the manifestation, there was no corruption, only the burning presence of Deathmist. My entire being was wreathed in those dark flames.

The only brilliance remaining to be seen...

Were my eyes, burning with a violet glow.
