The Heavenly Martial Empress Returns: An OP Xianxia Returnee LitRPG Chapter 103: Skill Fusion

-----

Despite the enlightennt I went through, barely half an hour had passed, so I still had plenty of ti to see a few other things. I wanted to first use so of my items above all else, especially the Skill Fusion Tickets I possess and also the other Skill-related items. I would like to learn a lot of these skills and combine them over and over again until I get sothing ridiculous.

The [Cursed & Blessed Blazing Starlight Relic Creation (SS)], my first and only Fusion Skill so far, was already very strong and useful, giving the ability to create powerful equipnt using blazing starlight tal, which I could imbue with either curses or blessings.

It required a lot of proficiency to level up, so right now, it is only Level 5 so far. But I’ll be leveling it steadily in the coming days, as I’ll be climbing the tower quickly. I want to at least get to Floor 10 before going back ho.

We have a bit over a year before the invasion of Floor 80, and although the Gray Gates are pouring out parallel tiline threats, things have relatively cald down a bit, except in Egypt, where those floating pyramids are becoming rather suspicious.

I had already sent my Doppelganger towards these areas to investigate, but if I spread them too thinly, their power would decrease, so I have to play it carefully. Thankfully, with my new [Primordial Heavenly Empress of Light Arts (SSS)] skill, Doppelgangers beca much stronger, as I imdiately began summoning them using this skill.

They can now be imbued with fragnts of my Divinities, and also with Faith and more of my Essence without them exploding in the process, plus, if I rge them with my Cursed & Blessed Blazing Starlight Relic Creation Skill, they beco much more durable, just like the barriers I had upgraded using that very skill.

My calculations say that within a day, I should have covered every area with Gray Gates, and I’ll be actively looking for strange things so I can stop them in ti. My mind is currently divided into many parts, but they’re all capable of concentrating on their own tasks, so I should do the sa with what’s in front of .

First of all, let’s fuse Skills! If I use tickets, Skill Fusion is completely free with no Credit Cost, so I’ll do that first.

Right now, these are my current Skill-related items:

[Divine Skill Fusion Ticket (S Grade)] x2

[Skill Copy Ticket (S Grade)] x1

[Random Skill Book (S Rank)] x4

[Divine Skill Fusion Ticket (SSS Grade)] x3

[Divine Skill Book (SSS Grade)] x3

[Nether Energy Manipulation Skill Book (SSS Grade)] x1

[Soul Aether Manipulation Skill Book (SS Grade)] x1

Alright, it’s quite clear that the SSS Rank Divine Skill Fusion Tickets are better than the others. But let’s do this anyway. I’ll first combine any skills I find quite not so... well, useful, and then I’ll combine them again with others.

Like this!

The ticket I grabbed was an S-Rank ticket; it quickly turned into pure light, engulfing with its divine radiance. I quickly chose the skills I wanted to combine.

Four Skills.

Ding!

[You have used the [Divine Skill Fusion Ticket (S Grade)] to combine four skills!]

[You have combined the Skills: [Triple Elental Magic: Fire, Ice, Lightning (A): Lv10]. [Divine Brilliant Light Magic (S): Lv10] [Divine Light Spirit Summon (S): Lv10] and [Windstorm (B): Lv10] into the [Multi-Elental Heavenly Light Spirit Divine Magic (SS): Lv1] Fusion Skill!]

Oh, that sounds interesting—a Divine Magic Skill that combines several elents with Divinity and Light, huh?

Let’s see what else we get.

Ding!

[You have used the [Divine Skill Fusion Ticket (S Grade)] to combine four Skills!]

[You have combined the Skills: [Kicking Strike (D): Lv10] [Basic Swordsmanship (C): Lv10] [Basic Martial Arts (C): Lv10] and [Crescent Moon’s Shadow Dagger Style (S): Lv10] into the [Eclipsing Moon Shadow Weapon Martial Arts (SS): Lv1] Fusion Skill!]

A martial art that encompasses the aspects of darkness and yin and summons moonlight powers becos stronger under the night.

Now that I’m done with those S-Rank Tickets, let’s use the SSS-Rank ones now.

Let’s move on to combine so of the skills I have in reserve. I think I can also gift them to others, but I want to see what I can get first.

[You have used the [Divine Skill Fusion Ticket (SSS Grade)] to combine four Skills!]

[You have combined the Skills: [Demon Killing Arts (B): Lv1] [Evil Cult Leader Authority (S): Lv1] [Dark Enslavent Curse (S): Lv1] and [Evil Abyssal Torture Arts (S): Lv1] into the [Abyssal Heaven’s Cursed Domain of Demonic Torture (SSS): Lv1] Fusion Skill!]

Oh?! Now that one sounds pretty deadly! It has a nice Murim-like na to it, which is catchy.

Okay, what else can I get?

[You have used the [Divine Skill Fusion Ticket (SSS Grade)] to combine four Skills!]

[You have combined the Skills: [Demonic Conquest Blade Techniques (SS): Lv1] and [Demonic Death Scythe Techniques (SS): Lv1] [Demonic Pestilence Spear Techniques (SS): Lv1] and [Demonic War Axe Techniques (SS): Lv1] into the [Demonic Asura Aura Manifestation: Bloodthirsty Demon Warlord Battle Arts (SSS): Lv1] Fusion Skill!]

Ah, this creates a manifestation of an Aura, materializing into a powerful multi-ard demon thing that can use destructive attacks. It's pretty amusing and flashy.

Now, onto the last ticket. The rest of the fusions are going to cost Credits, but I got plenty of them. The good thing about credits is that I don’t need to have the skills at the max level. Though with Credits, I just have to pay an additional price if the skills aren’t max level anyway, heh.

[You have used the [Divine Skill Fusion Ticket (SSS Grade)] to combine four Skills!]

[You have combined the Skills: [Demonic Book of the Dead (SS): Lv1] [Bloodthirsty Warlord of the Battlefield (SS): Lv1] [Demonic Abyssal Grimoire of Deadly Curses (SS): Lv1] and [Barrier Formation (S): Lv1] into the [Archdemonic Death Grimoire of Infernal Cursed Demon Formations (SSS): Lv1] Fusion Skill!]

This is strange. Well, I did combine four weird Skills. This thing summons a big grimoire into my hands, which contains powerful spells capable of summoning phantasmal-like cursed demonic beings, which can be shaped and transford into powerful formations with a myriad of different effects. They can also be turned into summoned demons to ravage anything.

How interesting and amusing! Fusing Skills is always quite fun.

Now let’s combine a few more Skills too, fusing the fused skills, heh.

[You have exchanged 30.000.000 Credits!]

[You have decided to combine the [First Aid (D): Lv10] [Cooking (D): Lv10] and [Family Bond (D): Lv10] Skills!]

[Skill Fusion process has begun!]

FLASH!

The three Skills ca together in a slightly different way than with the tickets, yet their power was much more than I imagined.

It was only three D Rank Skills; I thought it wouldn’t be that surprising.

However, perhaps because of the strong bond I have with my family, the resulting Skill was greatly boosted.

Ding!

[Congratulations! You have successfully combined [First Aid (D): Lv10], [Cooking (D): Lv10], and [Family Bond (D): Lv10] Skills into the Fusion Skill: [Divine Golden Heaven Gourt Bond Arts (SS): Lv1]!]

[Fusion Skills can be equipped in any of the Classless and Magic Skill Slots.]

Gourt… Bond Arts?

So it combines the Bond Powers with Gourt- Ah!

FLASH!

Suddenly, sothing within awakened—a golden spark, inspiration for cooking arose within , and also the warmth of family accompanied it.

It was a small vision, but it was a vision of my beloved family—my mom, my sister, her boyfriend, rkite, Urbosa, Hekita, and many more—all together.

The warmth that the food I cooked brought, and everything else... It was rather comforting.

That’s right, the warmth that can only be created with family—this warmth I’ve been missing my entire life back in Murim.

Which I’ve already recreated a few tis with everyone through cooking delicious als, food is sothing that connects us all.

Of course, how could I ever forget?

This is a wonderful Skill; I think I’ll keep it and not fuse it over.

Now, another two I want to get rid of already.

[You have exchanged 25.000.000 Credits!]

[You have decided to combine the [Mirage Veil (A): Lv10] [Seducing Aura (C): Lv10] Skills!]

[Skill Fusion process has begun!]

FLASH!

Sothing within fused, bonding into a single being; these were the skills within . Every ti I fused them, I felt my power, dispersed in many shapes, combine into larger ones within .

Ding!

[Congratulations! You have successfully combined the [Mirage Veil (A): Lv10] and [Seducing Aura (C): Lv10] Skills into the Fusion Skill: [Divine Illusionist’s Veil of Mirages (SS): Lv1]!]

[Fusion Skills can be equipped in any of the Classless and Magic Skill Slots.]

Oh, the veil evolved into sothing even more interesting: the ability to create Mirages, not just to hide or lower one’s presence but also to create new shapes, perhaps to attract or bait others.

This certainly could be very useful! I’ll keep it too; if it's divine, it could even trick other gods.

Now… There are a few other Skills in reserve, so let’s combine them all and get over this.

They’re pretty strong Skills, so I am excited about what I can obtain from them.

[Because the Skills selected are Level 1, the Fusion Price has been doubled.]

[You have exchanged 80.000.000 Credits!]

[You have decided to combine the [Ti Essence Absorption and Manipulation (SSS): Lv1] [Holy Purity of Light (SSS): Lv1] [Dark Shadows of the Deep (SSS): Lv1] and [Prehistoric Martial Arts (SSS): Lv1] Skills!]

[Skill Fusion process has begun!]

FLASH!

These four powerful Skills in reserve were all obtained from the mighty gods, or their Avatars, and also from the Primal King. Their powers were very different, creating an unstable force when I combined them; it shook to the core.

RUMBLE!

Yet I kept it all together until I saw them rge as one.

“Good.”

Ding!

[Congratulations! You have successfully combined [Ti Essence Absorption and Manipulation (SSS): Lv1] [Holy Purity of Light (SSS): Lv1] [Dark Shadows of the Deep (SSS): Lv1] and [Prehistoric Martial Arts (SSS): Lv1] Skills into the Fusion Skill: [Primordial Divine Sentinel of the Dark Past and the Bright Future: Aeternitas’ Martial Arts (EX): Lv1]!]

[Fusion Skills can be equipped in any of the Classless and Magic Skill Slots.]

“What the hell did I make?”

A Martial Art… that uses Ti, Light, and Darkness Elents?

Ti itself is such an unstable elent; it cannot really be used to fight in martial arts; it’s a tool at most.

But that young man I fought used ti as a weapon, combining Ti Essence into solid matter capable of both accelerating ti and killing soone with it.

And this... an EX-Rank Skill!

Doesn’t that sound incredible?

I like this!

The power to wield the Dark Past and the Bright Future…

There was no enlightennt, mostly because I understood its foundations very quickly.

I better combine the other fused Skills too; I want more power.

Another EX-Rank Skill... Can I get another one?

[Because the Skills selected are Level 1, the Fusion Price has been doubled.]

[You have exchanged 100.000.000 Credits!]

[You have decided to combine the [Multi-Elental Heavenly Light Spirit Divine Magic (SS): Lv1] [Eclipsing Moon Shadow Weapon Martial Arts (SS): Lv1] [Abyssal Heaven’s Cursed Domain of Demonic Torture (SSS): Lv1] [Demonic Asura Aura Manifestation: Bloodthirsty Demon Warlord Battle Arts (SSS): Lv1] and [Archdemonic Death Grimoire of Infernal Cursed Demon Formations (SSS): Lv1] Skills!]

[Skill Fusion process has begun!]

FLASH!

The four already powerful Fusion Skills ca together into a single, ridiculous power.

RUMBLE!

My surroundings shook, and friends and allies around suddenly noticed sothing strange was happening.

Endless darkness and demonic, crimson flas surged from my body, washing away, and burning the grasslands around .

The sky suddenly darkened, and the ground below burned and then lted into a pool of black miasma.

“Oh my, this is a bit flashier, isn’t it? Haha…!”

To think fusing four fused Skills could produce this level of power!

Ding!

[Congratulations! You have successfully combined the [Multi-Elental Heavenly Light Spirit Divine Magic (SS): Lv1] [Eclipsing Moon Shadow Weapon Martial Arts (SS): Lv1] [Abyssal Heaven’s Cursed Domain of Demonic Torture (SSS): Lv1] [Demonic Asura Aura Manifestation: Bloodthirsty Demon Warlord Battle Arts (SSS): Lv1] and [Archdemonic Death Grimoire of Infernal Cursed Demon Formations (SSS): Lv1] Skills into the Fusion Skill: [Primordial Demonic Heaven Dinsional Library Domain of Abyssal Curses and Sealed Demons: Pandemonium (EX): Lv1]!]

[Fusion Skills can be equipped in any of the Classless and Magic Skill Slots.]

A Dinsional Library Domain?

This is…!

FLUOSH!

Suddenly, I felt like half of my senses were “abducted” and completely sent elsewhere.

To another dinsion altogether.

A dark, endless world of old books, overflowing with demonic elents and even demons themselves.

“I created this...?”

If think Skills can create such things, just how powerful is the System to manipulate reality to such an extent?

This power… I need to be careful; I am not the only one with power over such a reality-bending thing.

Nonetheless, I’ll make sure to use this well.
