Chapter 330: A Never Seen Before Mutation, The Asura Blood Sea Emperor’s Legacy Is Unraveled!

-----

"Wait, what’s going?!" This was the first time this ever happened, but it seemed that both genes, both mutations were compatible, fusing into a singular one, he had expected them to stay separate, yet the system showed them combining without any extra input from him.

But why? What sort of connection did the vampires have with the sorrowful heart?

Unless... it was as he thought?

The question stayed unanswered while the fusion continued on its own.

Riven slowly settled the wild energies and forced himself to calm down, preserving his composure through sheer will.

He focused on slowing his breathing first, then on steadying the flow of energy through his limbs.

"Haaa... Haaa... This power...?! What’s going on? What is this?!"

FLUOSH...

RUMBLE!

His Vampire Progenitor Aura erupted outward, becoming denser and more powerful than it had been before, and further evolving into a stage between this and Vampire Ancestors, and yet, somehow, something else entirely as well.

The aura expanded farther than usual and stayed active even after he tried to pull it back.

The pressure provoked by his new, ever-growing power was so intense that he could already feel how to "Power Up" himself by circulating the blood ki aura rapidly through his body, temporarily increasing the rest of his stats with each controlled beat of his heart, which also felt huge for some reason.

He tested one slow circulation cycle and felt the temporary boost register in his body before it faded again.

Ding!

[Your Two Trait Mutations have successfully evolved and mutated even further thanks to the effects of your Authority of Greed and the x10,000 Multiplier, becoming much more stronger and awakening hidden power within these ancient genes, which had traced the same ancestry, fusing into a singular Super Ultra Mega Rare Trait Mutation.]

The window stayed open longer than usual while the system finished processing the fusion.

[You learned the Trait Mutation: [Asura Blood Sea Emperor’s Legacy (Super Ultra Mega Rare Mutation)]: You have fully inherited the legacy of the ancient Heavenly King, the Asura Blood Sea Emperor and awakened his inner genes, turning a part of your own self into a literal clone of what he once was, although only inheriting a small fragment of his true power. You can freely shift into a Asura Blood Sea Emperor Form at will, which will increase All Stats by 600% and Blood Energy, Ki, Blood Ki, and Divine Ki Power by 3000%, while granting total mastery and control over these elements. You have also inherited the following Divine Blood Sea Arts "Great Blood Soul Sea Technique", "Blood Dragon Strangles Demons", "Great Blood Sucking Vortex", "Myriad Blood Sea Drowns the Heavens", "Asura’s Crimson Eclipse", "Sovereign Blood Rules the Nine Skies", "God-Slaughtering Crimson Lotus Array: Tears of the Blood Buddha", "Nine-Fold Purgatory Blood Sword Desolation", "Heaven-Weeping Blood Rain Curse".]

Riven scrolled through the long list of arts twice to make sure none of the names had been cut off.

"What the fuck...?!"

Riven fell into his own backside as he looked at the Super Ultra Mega Rare Mutation, truly at the level of a divine god, and indeed, he felt immensely powerful, but the description itself said this was merely just a fragment of his true power.

He stayed on the ground for a moment and read the "small fragment" line again, already wondering how strong the original Asura Blood Sea Emperor must have been if this was only a piece of the full legacy.

The 600% stat boost and the 3000% increase to the blood-related energies alone were enough to change how he would approach the next fight, yet the system still treated the whole package as incomplete.

He closed the window carefully and sat still while the new mutation finished settling into his body, he could already feel this ancient power surging almost endlessly from within him.

"My appearance has changed..."

Riven looked at himself in a pool of blood.

The reflection showed the taller frame, the red hair, and the glowing runes still present on his skin.

However...

"Wait, huh?"

He noticed the surroundings, everything had become an endless sea of blood, he panicked, quickly calling it all back, as the massive, near endless blood sea gathered into his chest and condensed into a sphere of blood, fusing with his chest, where a glowing crystal on his abdomen absorbed it all.

The sea responded immediately and began shrinking toward him without any extra effort on his part.

"This crystal, so it is a trait of Precursors... the Asura Blood Sea Emperor... No, this is...! If the Vampire Bloodline and his own genes fused because they traced the same ancestry, then he is truly the origin of Vampires?!"

The crystal settled under the skin of his abdomen and continued to pulse in time with his heartbeat.

Riven started to wonder about the deep connection between this Ancient Heavenly King and the Origin of Vampires themselves.

The fusion of the two mutations had not been random, and the shared ancestry pointed in only one direction after all.

"This means... that like my mother said, some Authorities were born from Precursors, but how? Could they have been born from their divine powers?"

He had considered the idea that his mother had given to him, but now, it felt almost like the theory she had was confirmed to be true.

The more he compared the new mutation with her earlier words, the more the pieces lined up.

"Maybe they are living manifestations of their power, who, after their masters died... drifted into the void between the material world and the noosphere, taking in everything within the noosphere and becoming deities that exist between planes of existence... or not."

Riven let out a low sigh and shook his head, realizing he shouldn’t overthink something he still has no clear, true answer to.

The theory sounded possible, yet he had no way to prove any part of it right now.

"I am just theorizing here but... damn, having ten brains really makes you think crazy things."

He’d have to seek the answers himself.

He closed the remaining system windows and decided to test the new form properly before he left the area.
