From the Abyss of Stars

097. Unique Mutation

 

【Activation of the Ability Capsule】

 

【Omega Energy extracted from the target】: [Proliferative Alienation]

 

【Rating】: Epsilon (ε, the fifth Greek letter)

 

(This Omega Energy is highly compatible with your body and has been automatically optimized)

 

【Active Effect】: At the cost of 4 months of lifespan, your cells will undergo extreme self-healing, restoring 40% of your health. After use, it takes 50 minutes for cells to regain activity before it can be used again.

 

【Passive Effect】: When your health increases, severed limbs and disabilities will be rapidly healed.

 

Note: If your 【Charisma】 attribute exceeds 40 points, you will not experience the negative effect: disorderly cell proliferation.

 

【Current Development Level】: Perceptive, at this level, Omega Energy consumption rate is —110%

 

【Your Ability Capsule is now full of Omega Energy.】

 

【You can choose to release an Omega Energy gene, or store it within your gene sequence, significantly increasing the probability of rare mutations next time.】

 

【Stored Omega Energy in the capsule won't burden your genes but will only enjoy active effects, and development will be more difficult.】

 

【You can repeatedly store the same Omega Energy to promote its evolution. You can also choose to crush this Omega Energy gene sequence and feed it to other Omega Energy.】

 

Li Aozi chose to crush 【Ionic Impact】, as this Beta-rated Omega Energy had no potential for further development.

 

【You have torn apart a weak sequence with your dominating will.】

 

【You have gained genetic potential fragments (small amount), which can be used as nourishment for other Omega Energy. Please choose the Omega Energy to feed:】

 

Core Omega Energy —【Gravity】 Omega rating (Ω, the 24th and final Greek letter)

 

Subordinate Omega Energy —【Lifeforce Severance】 Sigma rating (Σ, the 18th Greek letter)

 

Subordinate Omega Energy —【Soul Sword Saint • War Ghost】 Ksi rating (Ξ, the 13th Greek letter)

 

Dominant Omega Energy:

 

——【Directional Blast】

 

——【Iterative Movement】

 

——【Bright Daylight Glory】

 

——【Proliferative Alienation】

 

Li Aozi didn't hesitate and fed the genetic fragments to Nomi's 【Proliferative Alienation】.

 

【Proliferative Alienation】 evolution level: 74%

 

"Soon it will upgrade, Nomi."

 

Familiar warmth spread through his body, and Li Aozi nodded slightly, a hint of purple in his eyes before it faded.

 

He grinned, looking at himself in the transparent glass, feeling as if his teeth seemed a bit sharper.

 

As the Omega Energy extraction was completed, Jane Neria trembled, taking two steps back. She looked up, her complexion improving, her expression noticeably more relaxed.

 

"I feel no pain or side effects at all..."

 

Jane looked at her healthier skin in amazement, feeling her breath becoming smoother, a sense of relief washing over her.

 

Her incredulous expression seemed comical to Li Aozi, like a native seeing a spaceship for the first time.

 

"Naturally."

 

Li Aozi retracted his tendrils, saying:

 

"Because your Omega Energy was never yours to begin with."

 

"Is it because it was 'Nomi's'?"

 

"No, it's not about that. Including Qiu Ran, your Omega Energy is not something innate to you."

 

Qiu Ran, who had been silently mourning, looked up, confused.

 

"My ability is not mine..."

 

"Not only that, but those Calamity Armament also don't truly possess their Omega Energy. You were just artificially implanted with sequences that happened to fit your organs and survived without gene collapse."

 

Li Aozi tapped his temple, feeling it was time to explain the truth of Abyss to Qiu Ran.

 

In his previous life, he didn't fully understand Abyss's crimes, but he knew Professor Abyss's path was partially correct, and that was a fact.

 

Seeing Qiu Ran's recent anger and sadness from being deceived, Li Aozi decided to reveal the truth to this naive girl, so she wouldn't remain in the dark.

 

"The professor couldn't distinguish between Omega Energy and transcendent energy, which is not surprising. Ancient people believed the sun revolved around Azure Blue Star. Limited technology can't instantly reveal the real world. She created weapons from Abyss, thinking it useful."

 

Li Aozi said:

 

"Professor Abyss didn't understand what it meant. She always believed Calamity virus was the cause of transcendent beings. Since there was no Abyss Cloud in the old Azure Blue Star, she concluded that Abyss caused the emergence of transcendent beings."

 

"She was wrong, but not entirely."

 

"However, the appearance of transcendent beings has nothing to do with Abyss Cloud."

 

"Abyss is not a virus, not even a substance—it's more like a phenomenon. A phenomenon that transmits specific information."

 

A phenomenon?

 

Neria and Qiu Ran were bewildered.

 

"Have the Red Arrow people researched to this extent?" Neria felt a sense of urgency.

 

Qiu Ran, confused, couldn't understand: "What does phenomenon mean... If there's no virus in me, what changed my genes?"

 

Li Aozi thought for a moment. Abyss's theory was highly complex, difficult even for players to accept.

 

So, he considered his words carefully:

 

"Abyss changed your genes, but it was forcibly grafted onto you... Your Omega Energy is a weapon gifted by Abyss. You could awaken Omega Energy because your genes had a vacant part, perfectly fitting Abyss's gene fragment."

 

"I don't understand... What is Abyss exactly?"

 

"Since scientific explanations are too hard to grasp, I'll use another analogy."

 

Li Aozi said:

 

"Abyss is like the whispers of a sealed old god, screening and transmitting its body's information in this way. Those with talent are chosen, granted the ultimate power called 'Omega Energy.' If the number of Omega Energy carriers becomes large enough, it would manifest its unseeable, unspeakable holy form, capable of destroying the planet instantly—see, easy to understand, right?"

 

Qiu Ran twitched her mouth:

 

"...Maybe you should stick to the scientific explanation?"

 

"In summary, Abyss's serum grants Omega Energy, which is not your body's own, but Abyss's gift."

 

"The most direct example is—when you overuse Omega Energy or get emotionally agitated, your body and mind will be eroded by Omega Energy, leading to rejection reactions."

 

"Red and black eyes mean loss of control for you, turning into monstrous mutants. For me, it's just excitement."

 

Li Aozi said:

 

"So far, on Azure Blue Star, except for me, no one can truly dominate their Omega Energy."

 

"Only I have a naturally mutated Omega Energy in my genes."
