291 The Role of the Synergy Ability Stone

His Infrared Vision was triggered when he entered the Stealthy Python’s assimilated state, which activated the passive Python Eyes trait, and then he manually activated the ability known as [Thermal Detection] skill.

Through the Infrared Vision state that displayed many spectral colors of heat signals inside the Chimera Monster’s body, he witnessed some of the energy inside its body spiral out of control many times but miraculously returned to a nominal state as though nothing had happened. If that were to happen to a normal person, they would have had all their meridians, including blood veins, ruptured by the chaotic flow of energy inside their body.

That showed that the Chimera Monster had the ability to control his body which had been tampered with and had amassed different types of energies inside his body. With that line of thought, Randy surmised that the ability stone hovering before him, although incomplete, might be that miraculous ability of the Chimera Monster.

One would wonder why he was interested in this measly ability. After all, he already had two powerful and complete ability stones to select besides the incomplete Synergy Ability Stone. Wasn’t that contradictory to his self-discipline to become more powerful than anyone else, and his goal to get stronger faster?

To understand his paradoxical temptation toward the incomplete ability stone, one would have to think for a brief moment about what kind of existence Randy was declared to be. And what state he found himself in on the day of his awakening.

The day he awakened his innate ability, he was told by his system that there was a chaotic energy detected in his body and that there was a necessity for the creation of energy vessels to contain that chaotic energy that seemed to comprise many different energies.



On the day of awakening, this was what the system displayed in front of him.

?[Reminder: Due to the chaotic energy detected in your body, there was a necessity for the creation of energy vessels to hold the energies as soon as possible. To prevent your existence from falling into a chaotic state, the system took the liberty to create energy vessels for all the current energies in your body…]?
.....



According to his understanding of the situation at the time, due to the nature of his physique, Myriad Energy Devouring, his body had the natural tendency to absorb the surrounding energy with or without his command. As for why he didn’t explode when he awakened with such chaotic energy inside his body, or rather why he didn’t awaken his innate ability despite practically possessing a natural affinity for most energies, he didn’t understand it either.

Despite lacking the knowledge to solve those mysteries, he was still able to deduce that the reason why he didn’t explode at the time was due to only having acquired a copious amount of mana. This made it so that he had absolute control over that mana over all other forms of energy in his body.

At the same time, he was able to suppress the other forms of energy that were in disarray inside his body. Due to their insignificance in terms of quantity, such a feat was easy to achieve viscerally.

Naturally, the creation of energy vessels also contributed and made it possible for him to control his body’s mana. However, what would happen if the quantity of his other forms of energy affinity increased in the future?

Whether intentionally or unintentionally increased due to his natural-born physique, wouldn’t he potentially lose control of those energies? Even if the energy vessels were created for them, the possibility that he might not be able to control them all wasn’t something that he could readily discard from his mind.

Furthermore, he wanted to personally explore the use of those energies inside his body if it was inevitable that they would accumulate by themselves. As such, the prospects the incomplete Synergy Ability Stone could bring him were far greater than simply gaining one or more abilities in his arsenal of abilities.


With that in mind, he put away the Ability Stones that belonged to the sunglasses man and his subordinate. Perhaps those two Ability Stones might be used by him in the future, but now was not the time.

The only Ability Stone hovering before him was the incomplete synergy ability stone. Without any reluctance, he commanded his system: “System, I’d like to fuse with this incomplete ability stone.”

[[Acknowledged. However, the probability of not fully getting the complete effects of the ability contained inside the crystallized ability stone is extremely high. Would you still fuse with this ability stone despite knowing this?]]

The system prompts.

“Yes.”

[[Would you like to spend 2,000 divine points to attempt to comprehend and grasp the essence of the ability within the Crystallized Ability Stone at the same time? Or would you rather absorb it without bothering to comprehend its essence?]]

“Ah! Then, I want to try to grasp it at the same time!”

Randy was resolute in his decision to say otherwise. Even if there was a chance of totally losing the ability from the fusion due to the incompleteness of the Ability Stone, he would still choose to give it a try. Furthermore, there was the part about grasping the ability by spending divine points in order to ensure that he could evolve it in the future. That was something that he had completely forgotten about. Not only would spending divine points increase his chance during the fusion process, but he could also obtain an opportunity to grasp the essence of the ability.

Last time, he didn’t have the [Divine Points Function] of the system when he fused with the Energy Manifestation Ability Stone. Therefore, he could only forcefully absorb the [Energy Manifestation] Ability Stone alongside its fixed mastery level of [70/100]. However, this time, as long as he grasped the ability beforehand, he could potentially acquire the path to evolve it in the future. This would be possible because of his comprehensiveness toward the ability to be acquired.

Furthermore, in the current case, the possibility of acquiring the full ability was not stated as impossible. As such, there was still hope for him to get the complete ability, even though the crystallized ability stone was incomplete.

As soon as he gave his response, the ability stone instantly vanished from his line of sight. It appeared that he didn’t need to grasp it with his hand like before.

Next, Randy felt a warm sensation coursing through his body. This sensation, as before, felt as though his entire being had been enveloped in a warm and soothing light.

Randy could feel the Ability Stone fuse with ‘something’ within him. That ‘something’ was, without a doubt, his soul. Although he hadn’t seen a human soul before, nor had he seen his own soul, he could still tell that the crystallized ability stone from this instance and before had fused with his soul.

As a result of the fusion of the ability stones and his soul, he was able to use those abilities as though they were his own. It was as if he had been born with them. Therefore, it felt very natural to activate them.

At the same time, streams of inexplicable and unintelligible pieces of information surfaced in his mind one after another. This process carried on until a certain point before these streams of incomprehensible pieces of information stopped appearing. Randy tried to comprehend these unintelligible pieces of information when they appeared in his mind, but he discovered that he couldn’t read or understand them no matter what.

Despite such peculiarities, he somehow managed to apprehend what they conveyed. The kind of understanding he gained was not that of wisdom acquisition, but instead, it was that of a visceral or instinctual realization that was seemingly innate by nature.
