Chapter 1054 Chaos Physique

Billis walked through the corridor, quiet and alone.

As the clan had just obtained a tremendous victory, the jovial mood of celebration was everywhere within the tower.

Billis slowly walked down the wide and brightly lit stone corridor. The hood hanging over his face blocked off the light from the illumination stones wherever he walked, casting a shadow to the ground. Like a silent ghost, he wandered through the tower.

Billis turned a corner and ran into five apprentices who were chattering amongst themselves with heavy piles of books in their hands.

Upon seeing Billis’ iconic black robe and his weird slithering movement, the five apprentices hurriedly made way, bowing with their backs against the wall.

“Greetings, Lord Billis.”

Billis’ countless blood-red eyes beneath the hood swept past the apprentices, and he simply walked past as if he had not even seen them.

Some fairly valuable bloodline re-creation potions had appeared in the clan. However, after thorough reflection, Billis chose to give up on these. Serpentine bloodline, pseudo-dragon bloodline– these might all sound nice, but they weren’t suitable for Billis.

If Billis chose to go for bloodline replacement, it would mean that all the effort he had put in so far would have been in vain. He would have to cultivate an entirely different bloodline power from scratch once again. Moreover, the Queen Bug he had assimilated was now the actual owner of this body. Why would it ever conduct such an act of ‘suicide?’

After much thought, and failing to come to a solution, Billis had no choice but to silently communicate with the tower spirit and submit a request for an audience with the clan leader.

…………

Fire Throne. A secret room on the very top floor.

After three months of seclusion, Greem had finally completed the difficult process of bloodline modification.

“Chip, conduct a deep scan on me!”

[Beep. Mission accepted. Deep scan starting!]

A series of gentle electronic sounds rang out as the Chip went to work. With its robust scanning and analysis abilities, the Chip quickly put together Greem’s actual power at the moment.

[Greem. Male. Third Grade Elementium Adept (Fire Specialization). Chaos Physique (Excellent Magic Resistance).

Bodily Attributes: Strength 24 (+5) | Physique 27 (+2) | Agility 16 | Spirit 39.

Bloodline Talent: Energy Blackhole.

One had to admit that powerful chaos creatures like the starbeasts were truly living treasure troves. The bloodline abilities they possessed were incredibly potent. After replacing his human bloodline with a starbeast bloodline, Greem had obtained the Chaos Physique, allowing him to absorb magical energy from the chaos of space directly.

Space was no longer a dangerous realm of hazards for him now. Instead, it was his home-field. As long as Greem wasn’t caught at the center of a terrifying energy storm, he would be able to move freely through space.

The bloodline talent Energy Blackhole also had something to do with the innate abilities of the starbeasts.

In a moment of crisis, Greem could use Energy Blackhole to convert all magical energy within ten meters of himself into chaos energy, which he could absorb for his own use. The duration of this effect was five seconds.

To Greem’s knowledge, almost all casters hated chaos energy with a passion.

That was because chaos energy was violent and disorderly, incapable of being shaped into spells or magic. As such, Energy Blackhole could be used to shield Greem from a single lethal spell.

Greem would only need to use Energy Blackhole when the attack was about to hit him, and the orderly magical energy of the spell would be converted into wild chaos energy. Naturally, the enemy’s spell would fall apart on a structural level and be neutralized!

Moreover, the Chaos Physique also provided Greem with magic resistance far surpassing that of an ordinary adept.

Greem had the Chip perform some estimations. Even though he was currently only at the peak of Third Grade, his magic resistance could already rival some Fourth Grade elementium adepts.

Moreover, if the battlefield was located in the depths of the galaxy, where energy storms rampaged without stop, Greem would be able to gain an advantage with his Chaos Physique!

After all, adepts born within material planes could not absorb the wild magic energy directly from space as Greem could. Greem could actively and passively absorb a certain degree of magic elementium energy in areas of chaotic magic energy.

It was undoubtedly a tremendous enhancement to his abilities!
