Half a month later.

News arrived from Pajero Legion headquarters.

By now, Caelum had already planted Spirit Trees twice within Bloodmoon Legion territory, raising his battle power by another million plus.

Zadamor reported respectfully,

"Leader, the Martial Artists, mystics, and mages have all gathered at headquarters. The scientists are standing by as well."

Caelum nodded.

"We’re returning."

"Yes!"

Traveling at maximum speed, Caelum returned to the Pajero Legion headquarters in only seven days.

Once there, he immediately began sparring with large numbers of Martial Artists, mystics, and mages.

[Super Drop Rate Triggered]

...

Countless techniques, abilities, mystic arts, and spells were mastered by Caelum within an astonishingly short period of time.

It felt as though his entire being was undergoing transformation.

Endless sparks of insight erupted within his mind as different techniques collided with one another.

Innovation and understanding poured forth continuously.

His mastery of martial arts, mystic arts, and magic had already entered a transcendent realm.

Even so, he was still only one person with one brain.

No matter how talented he was, he could never surpass the combined wisdom of thousands of grandmasters and master mages on his own.

So...

Caelum used a supercomputer as support.

Under the supercomputer’s assistance, massive numbers of Martial Artists, mystics, and mages began improving Fusion Technique for him.

Not just Fusion Technique.

Potential release techniques as well.

Many mystics and mages possessed abilities capable of unlocking latent potential, though each came with strengths and weaknesses.

Caelum only had one demand.

Using this opportunity, the masters were to unite and create a new potential release technique that combined the advantages of all existing versions while achieving overwhelming effectiveness.

This was not a discussion.

It was an order.

Under the crushing authority of the Pajero Legion, the masters could only grit their teeth and throw themselves into the project.

Perhaps it had been too long since such a grand collaboration had taken place.

As countless ideas and perspectives clashed together, the masters truly succeeded in creating a potential release technique that combined every advantage into one overwhelmingly powerful art.

Super Potential Release.

The name itself was as straightforward as it could possibly be.

Not only could Super Potential Release be used multiple times, it could also unleash every ounce of hidden power buried deep within the body in a single activation and transform it into controllable strength.

Most importantly...

It came with absolutely no side effects.

[Obtained Ability: Mystic Art · Magic · Super Potential Release]

[Keep Ability?]

[Kept]

Soon after, Caelum obtained the newly created technique from one of the masters.

Whoosh...

Under blue skies and drifting white clouds, a gentle breeze swept across the emerald grasslands.

Caelum sat cross legged upon the earth, eyes closed, his breathing following a strange and steady rhythm.

Moments later...

Bzzzt!

A mysterious wave erupted like a volcanic explosion.

Caelum’s aura no longer carried the violent fury it once had.

Instead, it became perfectly calm and serene.

Under the guidance of Super Potential Release, every ounce of power hidden within his Ultimate Cells erupted all at once.

His energy began rising at a horrifying pace.

Perhaps because he had continuously consumed Spirit Fruits...

Or perhaps because the Ultimate Cells had already fused with numerous superior cellular traits...

The hidden strength sleeping inside Caelum had become absolutely terrifying.

His battle power skyrocketed relentlessly.

Even as his aura continued rising higher and higher, he maintained complete control over it.

The heavens and earth remained peaceful and undisturbed.

40 million battle power!

80 million battle power!

100 million battle power!

200 million battle power!

300 million battle power!

[Battle Power Increased]

[Battle Power: 300 Million]

The strength unleashed by Super Potential Release was almost exactly ten times Caelum’s original battle power.

A full 300 million battle power.

And this was his base form.

Eventually...

Caelum’s aura gradually settled.

His battle power stabilized completely at 300 million.

Whoosh!

Zadamor flashed before Caelum instantly.

Even though Caelum had already suppressed his aura, the residual pressure alone still made Zadamor’s heart tremble.

He forcefully suppressed the instinctive shaking in his body as sweat rolled down his forehead.

"Leader, the modifications to Fusion Technique have been completed."

"Good." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Soon after, Caelum extracted the completed technique from one of the martial grandmasters.

[Super Drop Rate Triggered]

[Obtained Technique: Absorption]

[Learn Technique?]

[Learned]

Following Caelum’s instructions, the martial grandmasters had successfully transformed Fusion Technique into Absorption.

In terms of raw power, Absorption perfectly inherited Fusion Technique’s capabilities.

But fundamentally, the two techniques were completely different.

First.

Absorption did not merge two individuals together.

Instead, the user completely absorbed another person’s power to fill in their own shortcomings and become a more perfect ultimate warrior.

The absorbed target’s personality, spirit, and consciousness would all be erased.

Their soul would be sent directly to the Path of Sumeru.

Only their knowledge would remain behind to be absorbed and integrated.

Second.

Absorption was permanent.

Once completed, the absorbed power could never be separated again.

Thanks to the assistance of the mystics and mages, the martial grandmasters had managed to accomplish this impossible modification.

Of course...

A technique this powerful naturally came with limitations.

The first restriction remained similar to Fusion Technique.

The target’s ki strength had to remain relatively close to the user’s.

The maximum difference could not exceed one third.

In other words, as long as the opponent’s battle power fell somewhere between 200 million and 400 million, Caelum could use Absorption on them.

This was an expanded version of Fusion Technique’s original limitation.

The Martial Artists had intentionally loosened the conditions significantly.

The second restriction was far harsher.

Absorption could only be used once in an entire lifetime.

Caelum had no complaints.

Achieving results like this already exceeded his expectations.

After all, a single successful absorption would probably increase his strength hundreds of times over.

That alone was enough.

And...

Caelum’s gains were not limited to Super Potential Release and Absorption.

With his ki increasing dramatically, his vitality and physique had also strengthened immensely.

The same applied to his explosive power.

Previously, his Burst Technique could only achieve a fivefold multiplier.

Now, with his battle power reaching 300 million, his explosive capability had become incomparably greater.

Under his current condition, Burst Technique could now unleash thirty times his power.

And if combined with Second Form’s tenfold amplification...

That became three hundred times.

"Hm?"

Suddenly, Caelum frowned.

Just moments ago, he had sensed three extremely powerful auras appear somewhere within the North Galaxy.

One of them possessed roughly 200 million battle power.

This was universal level ki sensing, a technique he had learned from the martial grandmasters.

At his current level, Caelum could sense ki from anywhere across all four galaxies.

A faint look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Funny timing."

"Right when I was looking for someone strong, one just delivered themselves to my doorstep."
