Infinite terror invades all heavens

[Martial Soul Awakening (Twin Martial Souls): Rating: 83, suitable for most horror movies, comes with innate full soul power, twin martial souls can be specified. Requires: 1 C-level side quest, 3000 reward points. From: Douluo Continent comic]

Looking at the enhancement information displayed on the screen, Wang Yi took a deep breath, confirming that this was his final choice after weighing the pros and cons.

"The super-standard martial souls are not among the selectable options. Damn it, there really are no loopholes to exploit."

"The Supreme God designates the Twin Martial Souls as Nine-Heart Begonia and Poké Ball."

The moment the command is given, the information on the screen becomes more detailed:

[Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Soul: Unique Soul Skill - Area-of-effect group healing, complete healing in non-death states, releases white petal-shaped light that merges into the injured person's body to heal injuries. From: Douluo Continent comic]

[Pokémon Ball Martial Soul: A dual-attribute martial soul of spirit and space. The spirit attribute ensures absolute control over captured soul beasts, while the space attribute provides an alternate dimension to accommodate extraordinary creatures. Each soul ring slot can generate one Pokémon Ball for capturing extraordinary creatures. From: Douluo Continent fan fiction]

Choosing this enhancement route was a rational decision made by Wang Yi based on his own understanding after the effects of NZT-49 wore off.

He had an extremely clear understanding of himself—an ordinary urban youth who had never even killed a chicken and whose fighting ability was roughly equivalent to a goose (and probably couldn't even beat it), did he really think about fighting to the death with real swords and bullets, and making a seven-times-seven ...

In the future, they will be able to use the Heavenly Thunder Fist, which can hit people like pancakes, Zheng Zha, the Ten Perfections Daoist Madman Taiyin Zhu Peng, and the Martial Arts God Wang Zongchao.

Wang Yi felt immense pressure. With his small frame, he feared he wouldn't even qualify as cannon fodder and would evaporate instantly.

The high-damage output in the team is significantly overpowered.

He's a coward who's afraid of pain and death, lacks fighting instincts and a cheat ability, so he shouldn't even think about fighting and killing or forcibly taking the center position.

Prioritizing survival and team support is the wisest choice for this "decent person" at this stage.

He had previously tested his mental talent, and it took about 800 points to enhance mental skills. He wasn't completely lacking in them, but he certainly wasn't a genius either; he was in an awkward situation of "having some, but not much."

Moreover, with Zhan Lan already a clear candidate for mental power controller in the team, it would be pointless for him to try to squeeze into this track, and resources might not be allocated to him.

Therefore, his role is very clear: support.

Status-boosting support abilities are ruled out at this stage. Low-level buffs to strength, agility, and constitution might be useful for ordinary players.

However, for teammates like Zhu Peng and Wang Zongchao, who have already surpassed ordinary physical strength and have extremely strong control over their own power, the sudden external boost and the subsequent drop in power may actually interfere with their exquisite control of force and combat rhythm, doing more harm than good.

As for the mid-to-high level, which involves conceptual enhancements such as comprehension, luck, and causality, it is too distant and difficult. Relying solely on the main god's enhancement is too costly, and relying on one's own cultivation... Wang Yi was very self-aware and did not want to suffer without effort.

The ability to survive is of paramount importance.

In this absurd world, dangers come from all sorts of sources. Physical attacks are just the most basic kind; mental attacks, dreams, curses, shadows, and so on are impossible to defend against.

As for lofty concepts like cause and effect, fate, and time, those are not things he can consider for the time being.

The ability to specify twin martial soul enhancements not only satisfies the two core needs of survival and support, but also boasts excellent compatibility and ease of use.

In the resource-rich environment of the Main God Space, the Soul Power system's adaptability to rare and precious materials and various cultivation techniques is not just like a fish in water, but more like a wolf among sheep!

Looking back at the original novel "Douluo Continent", one of Tang San's greatest advantages is that he perfectly combines the internal and external martial arts inheritances of the Tang Sect, such as the Xuan Tian Gong, with the martial soul system, achieving a 1+1>2 effect.

As long as Wang Yi can also exchange some quick-learning or fast-cultivation internal energy cultivation methods from the Main God, and with the increase in total soul power from high-limit soul rings, as well as the food resources in the Main God's space food area that are comparable to rare and precious materials, the speed of soul power cultivation brought by twin martial souls can be expected to be a spiral ascent like "stepping on the right foot with the left foot"!

His choice of the two martial souls was also made after careful consideration:

Nine-Heart Begonia: The ultimate embodiment of healing power.

In the original Douluo Continent novel, it is called a "miracle" because it provides area-of-effect healing to the entire team, and can almost always bring them back to life unless they die on the spot.

In the first season of the game, Ye Lingling, who possessed the third ring, was able to instantly restore Yu Tianheng, who was severely injured and had broken bones, to full combat strength. This effect was nothing short of miraculous.

The only drawback seems to be the inability to restore consumed energy and detoxify, but this can be compensated for in other ways in teamwork.

It can only be said that while the martial souls in Douluo Continent may not be as powerful as those in some high-magic worlds in terms of pure combat destructive force, some top-tier support martial souls are practically bug-like in terms of functionality.

The Poké Ball is his choice for future survival and dealing with complex situations; each Soul Ring slot allows him to contract a supernatural creature.

The Main God Space offers a vast array of extraordinary creatures that can be exchanged for and contracted!

In the early stages, resources can be concentrated to utilize the special resources of the myriad worlds to quickly cultivate one or two powerful contracted beasts for defense, reconnaissance, or combat in specific environments.

Later on, you can gradually fill in the contract slots based on the team's weaknesses and the types of enemies you encounter, striving to achieve comprehensive protection against threats from all aspects, including physical, energy, mental, dream, shadow, and curse.

Then he can stay safely in the rear and be a qualified mobile fountain and summoner.

"Alright, let's begin. Supreme God, enhance me with 'Twin Martial Souls - Nine Heart Begonia/Poké Ball'!"

As soon as Wang Yi confirmed it, a thick beam of light instantly shone down from the main god's light sphere, completely enveloping him.

It's warm, like soaking in a hot spring, or like the comforting feeling of returning to the womb.

Wang Yi's body involuntarily floated up, rising to a height of several meters above the ground. Countless particles of light, finer than dust yet containing strange energy, flowed continuously into his body from the pillar of light, as if attracted by them.

He could sense that something dormant deep within his genes, or something related to the essence of his soul, was being awakened, shaped, and strengthened.

Within the meridians, a warm current of energy began to circulate spontaneously, growing faster and stronger, eventually converging at the lower abdomen to form a continuously rotating source of energy—this should be the source of soul power.

At the same time, two distinct imprints appeared in his perception: one full of vitality and gentleness, and the other carrying the charm of containment and restraint.

This process lasted for several minutes. When the beam of light dissipated and Wang Yi slowly fell back to the ground, the enhancement was complete.

The most noticeable change was in his appearance. He felt as if he had received a beauty filter and a full-body body sculpting treatment; his skin became smooth, and he exuded a refreshing and energetic aura.

Wang Yi moved his hands and feet, feeling a surge of power within his body, a power unlike anything he had experienced before—not the power of muscles, but a more intrinsic energy, closer to the very source of life. With a thought, he raised his right hand.

A delicate and beautiful flower appeared in his palm, then solidified. A pink and white begonia quietly bloomed, its petals layered upon each other, its color warm and lustrous. Its leaves drooped, possessing both the vibrancy of a peony and the gentleness of an orchid, surrounded by a soft, soothing white halo. It was indeed a Nine-Heart Begonia.

“Success…” Wang Yi was slightly pleased. But then he tried to sense the other martial soul at the same time, and found that when the phantom of the Poké Ball was about to appear in his left hand, the Nine Heart Begonia in his right hand became unstable, as if the two were competing for some kind of “manifestation” authority.

"It can't summon two martial souls at the same time?" Wang Yi frowned. "I remember that in the original Douluo Continent, Bibi Dong could summon both the Death Spider Emperor and the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor martial souls simultaneously to fight. Is it a matter of proficiency, or is this enhanced version itself limited? Or does it require special skills?"

That won't do. Battles are ever-changing. If you can't use two abilities simultaneously, the moment you switch your martial soul might be your opening. Healing and summoning protection won't be able to connect seamlessly, which will greatly affect your survival and support efficiency.

“In that case…” Wang Yi reconnected his consciousness to the Main God, “Main God, query knowledge-related exchanges related to ‘Twin Martial Souls,’ ‘Simultaneous Summoning of Martial Souls,’ and ‘Martial Soul Cultivation Techniques’!”

He quickly changed keywords, using his now clearer and sharper thinking after the enhancement to search through the God's vast database.

"Exchange for research data on the characteristics and synchronous summoning of twin martial souls, secret techniques for soul ring activation and age enhancement, essentials of soul core condensation, methods for concealing soul rings..."

A series of white lights flashed, and books, jade slips, and even information chips of various materials, some ancient and some new, appeared before him. To his surprise, perhaps because the Douluo Continent worldline linked to this God Space was so rich, the information he found far exceeded his expectations. It not only included theories and methods for resolving conflicts between twin martial souls and achieving synchronized summoning, but also a large number of secret techniques not mentioned in the original work, and even records of heaven-defying techniques such as how to artificially increase the age of soul rings through special means!

"Great!" A glint of excitement flashed in Wang Yi's eyes. "Indeed, knowledge is power! Especially in this absurd God Space!"

He picked up the large stack of strategy guides, exchanged for two more ZNT-49 pills and a large amount of rare and precious items like whale glue to improve his physical attributes, and then eagerly returned to his personal room after exchanging for 10 days of personal space time.

Next, he would retreat into seclusion to study and digest what he had learned, and begin to solve the problem of simultaneously summoning twin martial souls, making thorough preparations for the upcoming, unknown horror movie. He could almost see himself with holy light shining from his left hand and divine beasts surrounding him on his right, living a wonderful (and carefree) future as the strongest support for the team.

Chapter 5 Creation and Enhancement

"boom!"

The door to Wang Yi's room had only been closed for a few minutes when it was quickly opened again.

In the God's Space, a place where time flows abnormally, the ten days of research time he exchanged in his personal space appeared to the outside world as if only a moment had passed.

Standing once again in the center of the vast and empty main god square, gazing up at the large sphere of light emitting a soft white glow, Wang Yi's heart inexplicably quickened, a mixture of anticipation and excitement welling up inside him.

Wang Yi issued a command to the main god's orb:

"God, create man!"

Instantly, a semi-transparent character creation interface with a futuristic feel appeared in front of him. The interface displayed a standard 3D human model, whose appearance, body shape, and even details could be adjusted at will according to his thoughts.

"Tsk, just as expected." Wang Yi curled his lip, recalling his "memory" about the main god's human creation mechanism. "This black-hearted sphere of light charges for anything beyond the point of free human creation. How stingy!"

He concentrated and began typing in his list of needs:

"Required gender: Female! Core underlying settings: First, unconditional obedience and absolute love for me! Second, possessing independent personality awareness, recognizing one's own human identity and emotional potential, and having the ability for deep emotional interaction and growth!" This point was added after careful consideration. A mere tool might be stable, but a person with self-awareness and emotional capacity might be able to unleash true, transcendent power in unpredictable future crises. This was also a seed planted for the legendary genetic lock.

"Basic Attributes: All attributes maxed out at the free limit of 200 points! Appearance: Black hair, black eyes, fair skin, beautiful face, long legs, large breasts, wasp waist... cough cough, the proportions must be harmonious and natural, conforming to my aesthetic! Enhance sensory acuity, especially hearing, vision, and smell, max them out at the free setting! Knowledge Implantation: Complete guide to special operations, complete guide to wilderness survival, complete guide to basic combat, proficiency in firearms, mastery of melee weapons... Oh right, also implant corresponding combat muscle memory! Personality Setting: Calm and composed, extremely strong endurance, excellent emotional control, while retaining emotional perception and depth! Name... let's call her Shadow." He thought, this name not only matches her calm and reliable qualities, but also implies that she will always be by his side, both his shield and his hidden strength.

As he inputted his thoughts, the 3D model on the interface changed rapidly. Muscle lines, bone proportions, facial features... gradually outlined an almost perfect female image, which not only met all his aesthetic preferences, but also subtly revealed a restrained heroic spirit and a sense of power.

"Perfect!" Wang Yi cheered inwardly, subconsciously wiping away non-existent liquid from the corner of his mouth, and with a sense of satisfaction as a creator, confirmed the creation.

[An additional fee of 300 reward points will be added based on the settings. Confirm?]

"Confirmed! They're obsessed with money!"

A soft yet dazzling white beam of light descended, and within it, a graceful figure swiftly materialized from the ethereal.

A few seconds later, the beam of light dissipated, and a stunningly beautiful woman with black hair stood quietly in front of Wang Yi. She was tall and perfectly proportioned, and her black eyes, like the deep night sky, calmly gazed at Wang Yi with absolute obedience and a hint of indescribable attachment.

“Master,” she said, her voice clear and melodious.

Wang Yi stared at the exquisite creation before him, momentarily lost in thought. He took a deep breath, forcing himself to remain calm as he responded, attempting a deeper interaction: "Hello, Shadow. Welcome... to this world." He paused, carefully observing her reaction. "How do you feel? Is anything... different? Or rather, how do you feel about yourself?"

Ying tilted her head slightly, a thoughtful emotion appearing for the first time in her calm eyes. She gently raised her hand, clenched it, then released it, feeling the strength of the muscles and the texture of her skin. Then, she gently placed her hand on her left chest, feeling the steady and powerful beating of her heart.

A moment later, she raised her head and met Wang Yi's gaze. Her voice remained steady, but with a subtle ripple that she hadn't heard before: "Reporting to Master, my physical condition is good. All the instilled knowledge is clear and accessible. My sensory acuity exceeds the normal range of humans. Everything is normal."

He suppressed his excitement, knowing that the next step was even more crucial. He took out another NZT-49 and swallowed it. The drug's effects quickly swept through his brain, suppressing his emotional fluctuations. The world became clear and objective in his eyes again, full of analyzable variables.

He looked Ying up and down, rationally assessing the situation: "Indeed, under a state of absolute rationality, creating an individual that leans towards emotional connection and perfect appearance is not the optimal solution from a purely early survival probability perspective. The optimal solution should be a highly functional professional assistant. Emotional connection variables are difficult to quantify and involve uncertainty risks."

However, the die was cast, and in the NZT state, he quickly calculated that an individual with high self-awareness and emotional potential might have a far greater long-term growth potential and ability to cope with complex situations than a mere tool. He immediately accepted the situation and began planning to maximize resource utilization.

"God, check the Gurongi bloodline enhancement."

[Grongi Bloodline - Bay Group: Rating: 59. Suitable for some horror movies. Transforms into different Grongi species based on the user's inner desires, with different enhancement tendencies depending on the species. Requires: 1 D-rank side story, 1500 reward points. From: Kamen Rider Kuuga]

"Lord God, inquire about the Giboron Spirit Stone."

[Gibron Stone: Rating: 63, suitable for some horror movies. Originating from an extraterrestrial stone from ancient times, it shares the same origin as the Amadam Stone. When implanted into the human body, it alters the host's genetic material, transforming them into a Grongi. Requires: 1 D-rank side quest, 1000 reward points. From: Kamen Rider Kuuga]

"As expected, the main god is as 'fair' as ever." Wang Yi kept changing his words to test the waters, calmly analyzing the differences in the data. "Directly strengthening the bloodline is more expensive, the species is random, and the core growth potential of absorbing life and fear through the Kikiru Game to evolve is emasculated, making it extremely low cost-effectiveness."

“The basic Giboron Spirit Stone is even cheaper and retains the possibility of absorbing specific energies and emotions to strengthen itself. The downside is that the initial species is random. However…” Wang Yi’s lips curled up slightly, as if he had a sure thing, “Randomness, when prepared, is an opportunity.”

"God, exchange ingredients here—fresh Godzilla flesh and blood, requiring G-cell activity to be preserved, specific location, core flesh and blood around the heart!"

[Ingredients: Fresh Godzilla flesh (heart), requires 200 reward points.]

A flash of white light, and a dark red chunk of flesh, about the size of a washbasin, seemingly still slightly pulsating, crashed to the ground. The instant it appeared, a savage, violent aura, brimming with the most primal life force, erupted forth! The air seemed to freeze, the invisible energy radiation even distorting the light; the soft white light of the Main God Plaza appeared to be briefly repelled by this force. On the surface of the flesh, faint, arc-like blue energy patterns flashed by.

“Shadow,” Wang Yi’s voice was unusually calm in NZT form, yet carried an undeniable power, “devour it, let its blood and power flow into every inch of your body. It will be painful, but it is a necessary step on the path to power. Remember, no matter how painful it is, maintain your consciousness, remember who you are!” He emphasized the last sentence.

Ying stared at the terrifying flesh, her eyes filled with unwavering trust and determination, devoid of any fear. She took a step forward, knelt on one knee, and plunged her hands into the resilient flesh!

"laugh--!"

A sound like strong acid corroding echoed as white smoke billowed the moment the blood touched the skin, instantly turning it bright red and even leaving burn marks. Ying's body trembled violently, but she gritted her teeth, making no sound. She simply quickened her pace, spreading more blood to allow the violent energy to penetrate every pore as much as possible.

Then, she picked up a large piece of flesh with both hands, opened her mouth, and forced it down and swallowed! The process of chewing and swallowing was obviously extremely painful. The veins on her forehead bulged, and sweat instantly soaked her newly changed clothes. Her body convulsed uncontrollably due to the violent impact of the energy.

The domineering energy of G cells rampaged through her body. Visibly, it was as if countless tiny mice were scurrying under her skin, muscle fibers were being torn and reassembled, bones were making a teeth-grinding "crunching" sound, and her body seemed to be slowly expanding and stretching.

The white light of the Supreme God's repair flashed again and again, like the most precise welding torch, repairing the body tissues on the verge of collapse, but it was quickly covered by the more violent destruction of the G cells.

Her body would sometimes have parts of her skin turn gray and rough, revealing a texture similar to Godzilla's keratin layer, and at other times it would return to its original state under the white light of the main god.

It was a grueling tug-of-war, with her suppressed, painful groans, squeezed from deep in her throat, and eerie sounds of flesh being forcibly altered echoing through the square.

Wang Yi calmly observed from the side, recording the data changes, and couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive: "This thing is powerful! If it weren't for the God's repair function, she would probably have suffered a genetic collapse instantly and died without leaving a trace." He was even a little scared, thinking that if he had used it rashly, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

After an unknown amount of time, the violent energy surge finally subsided, and the God's restorative white light enveloped her one last time, stabilizing her condition.

state.

When the white light faded, the figure before Wang Yi's eyes had changed drastically!

Her original height of nearly 1.75 meters had now ballooned to almost 2 meters! Her figure remained stunning, but every curve exuded explosive power, no longer merely graceful, but possessing the agility and explosive force of a cheetah. Her skin had an icy white hue, subtly gleaming with a metallic sheen.

Simply standing there, it naturally exudes a chilling sense of oppression, like a humanoid prehistoric beast.

Their physical fitness is nearly four times that of an average person, especially their immunity, which is due to G cells, which can protect them from common toxins, radiation, and diseases.

"How are you feeling, Ying?" Wang Yi asked, his tone both concerned and analytical, even in his NZT state.

Ying slowly opened her eyes, her gaze seemingly even deeper than before. She clenched her fists tightly, the air between her fingers exploding with a soft popping sound.

She tentatively waved her arm, creating a piercing, howling sound.

“Master,” her voice was slightly lower than before, carrying a certain resonance, but the clear consciousness belonging to Shadow remained, “Power…is more abundant than ever before. My body feels as if it has broken free of invisible shackles. I can feel that every cell is filled with energy. I…am still me.” She spoke the last sentence with exceptional clarity and certainty.

“Excellent. Adaptability exceeds expectations. Now, proceed to the next qualitative leap.” Wang Yi nodded. “Main God, exchange for Giboron Spirit Stones.”

A strange stone, the size of a baby's fist, purplish-black in color, seemingly containing flowing liquid energy, and covered with natural patterns, fell into his hand. He handed the spirit stone to Shadow: "Absorb it, guide its power, and merge it with the Godzilla power within you. Remember, you are the one in control!"

Ying took the Giboron Spirit Stone and pressed it to her heart. The spirit stone seemed to have found its home; its purplish-black light shone brightly, and it slowly merged into her body as if it were alive.

"Ugh—!"

This time, the pain seemed even more intense, carrying with it a kind of fundamental transformation. Her body trembled violently, and purplish-black energy patterns, resembling complex circuit boards, flickered and spread wildly across her surface. Her body structure was undergoing a fundamental change! Her bones stretched and deformed, and the stratum corneum once again covered and solidified the key areas…

Finally, after a heart-pounding energy fluctuation, the transformation was completed.
