Next, for the Phoenix siblings, he decided to synthesize their bodies with Giga Ape and Werewolf genes for increased body strength and danger awareness.
The atmosphere was solemn as thhe Phoenix siblings stepped forward together.
Unlike the others, they were already high-tier beings. So any modification had to be precise and controlled.
Aegis raised his hand.
"Don’t move."
The sea and fire answered together.
< Synthesis initiated...>
Giga Ape genes fused first, reinforcing muscle density, bone hardness, and raw physical strength.
Their humanoid fras did not grow bulky, but every fiber beca tighter, heavier, more explosive.
Then ca the Werewolf genes.
There was a barely noticeable change, yet far more dangerous.
Their instincts sharpened dramatically. Danger awareness and Battle reflexes embedded themselves deep into their nervous systems. They would sense killing intent before it manifested.
Importantly, their core Phoenix structure remained untouched.
Their flas stayed pure.
That was when sothing unexpected happened.
Eterna gasped. "Hahh..."
"Crack.." The ground beneath her feet cracked slightly.
It was not a sign of their increase physical strength, it was sothing deep.
Naida’s eyes widened.
"Earth...?"
Eterna staggered and clutched her chest as brown-golden light flickered beneath her skin.
At that mont, an interface appeared before Aegis.
[ Awakening Detected ]
[ Elental Physique Unlocked: Earth Elental Physique ]
[ Host: Eterna ]
[ Status: Dual-Elent Bearer (Fire Earth) ]
Aegis and others were speechless for a while.
Flama stared at her elder sister with disbelief.
"Sis, You awakened another elent?"
"Yes, it seems so."
Diva also bit her lip, clearly jealous.
Aegis swiftly took out the Earth Maker (E) skill book.
"Eterna, this suits you better than anyone else here."
He placed the Earth Maker skill book into Eterna’s trembling hands.
The book dissolved into light the mont she touched it, sinking into her body. Across her arms and neck, lines of earthy runes briefly surfaced before fading.
Eterna gasped softly.
"I— I can feel it. The ground. The pressure. The structure beneath everything."
She clenched her fist.
And the stone floor beneath her feet rippled, then hardened, reshaping itself into a perfectly ford pillar before crumbling back into dust.
Flama clicked her tongue in irritation.
"That’s unfair papa."
Diva crossed her arms, cheeks puffed slightly
.
"Papa clearly has favorites."
Aegis glanced at them calmly.
"You’ll get your turns. Strength doesn’t always manifest the sa way."
The jealousy eased, if only slightly.
Next, Aegis turned his attention to the Sanguine Imperials.
The crimson-winged siblings hovered respectfully in the air, their blood-red feathers rustling.
"Synthesis," Aegis commanded.
Wind Vulture genes rged first.
Their lungs expanded, internal air sacs forming. What rare for Phoenix descendants, happened to the Sanguine siblings naturally.
Wind affinity awakened within their bodies, harmonizing with their already dominant Blood elent.
Then ca the Iron-Horned Deer genes.
Their skulls reshaped by a little. From each of their foreheads, a pair of elegant, dark-crimson horns grew, engraved with natural runic patterns.
The horns radiated faint frequencies of sound and mana.
Another system panel appeared.

The siblings tested their wings.
Boom.
Just a single flap sent shockwaves through the air, their speed visibly increasing.
They shot across the courtyard and back in an instant, eyes glowing with excitent.
"Thank you, your eminence." They actually talked this ti.
Naida just watched quietly. She stopped being surprised at this point.
As a spirit, she could not undergo synthesis. No new genes. No direct blessings.
For just a mont, her fingers clenched into fist, feeling the loss.
But she said nothing.
Aegis noticed.
He always did.
"Naida, your role is different. "You’re the spiritual guide of this Palace. You’re no less important than them."
Naida smiled faintly to act she was alright. But only she knows the ache in her chest.
Finally, Aegis stepped forward.
"It’s my turn now."
The courtyard fell silent.
Billy and Milly screeched anxiously overhead. The Phoenix siblings stiffened. Even the Hydra lowered its massive heads.
Aegis closed his eyes.
Hydro-genesis: Activated.
This ti, he did not create life.
He rewrote himself.
Giga Ape genes fused first.
Alongside from the prickling pain, his muscles compressed and refined.
They didn’t grow larger but beca terrifyingly dense.
His physical strength increased explosively.
Then ca the Werewolf genes.
This ti, the world slowed in his perception.
Every sound, every breathing, every movent turned sensitive to his senses. .
He could sense danger before it happened, battle lines before they ford.
Next, Blood Eagle, no Sanguine Imperials genes.
Just by synthesizing with a pluck of their feathers, his vision changed.
He could see kiloters away. He couldn see through mist, darkness, and distortion. Every heartbeat, every twitch of muscle in living beings beca clear.
Finally—
Wind Vulture genes.
Instantly, the Air around him closed in. Then spiralled around him like worshiping their master.
Wind affinity awakened!
Wind elent flowed into his body, not as a dominant elent, but as a catalyst.
Water and wind resonated.
The sea trembled.
The wind spiraled into a vortex.
Aegis opened his eyes.
They glowed deep ocean-blue, but with faint silver currents rotating within.
Another system notification appeared, flooding his vision.

Agis now looked like warrior from Myth. Not the Herculean ones, but handso and moderately muscular type.
All developnt was done by his will.
But if he wished, he could have turned into a Muscle Monster if he wanted. That might have given him explosive physical strength, but he would have risk of losing magical energy.
So, he chose balance.
Still, the pressure radiating from him forced everyone back a step.

Aegis exhaled slowly, feeling the newfound power within him.
The wind cald down. The sea obeyed.
He looked toward the horizon, where the invasion countdown continued to tick.
"Now we’re ready..."
Behind him stood an army that did not exist hours ago.
Ahead of him lay an invasion that no longer felt threatening.
For the enemies approaching Aquabyss—
This would not be a battle.
It would be a lesson.
