Chapter 609: Law Fusion

"I didn't expect that Silver's evolution would help it improve its strength by so much. This was almost a tenfold improvement!"

While killing rats in his surroundings, Leon directed some of his attention to watching the silver wolf fight with a curious gaze.

"It also grew an extra tail after its evolution… Does this mean it will continue to grow an extra tail with each tail?" Leon muttered with surprise.

"It seems I would need to re-evaluate Silver's bloodline… It might have a noble lineage that I am not aware of—No, the Cataclysm must have played a major part in its evolution."

The mutations were changes brought by the Cataclysm and only made possible because of it.

"Either way, it seems that Silver has a chance to become something much stronger than ordinary divine beasts—and much quicker than I anticipated at that…"

"Wolves are also proud beings. It would not be appropriate for me to continue calling Silver by such a lousy pet name… I should come up with a better name for a future divine beast…" Leon contemplated.

But then again, he was never good with names.

Eventually, Leon stopped paying attention to the silver wolf and resumed his experimentation with the mutant rats as his target practice.

'Let's try it,' Leon decided.

The Tier 4 Bone Spear was shortly stored away before Leon reach out his hands as the power of Fire Laws quickly gather on one palm while the power of Ice Law gathered on the other hand.

He had fused laws of perfect cycles to produce Grandmist Energy according to the Hegemon of Primal Chaos.

However, what he currently wanted to find out is what sort of power would be produced by fusing different combinations of laws.

'Considering the law seeds are all merged with my soul core, even if I was to fail, I should at least have the ability to even make an attempt at law fusion.'

"For my first experiment, Fire Law and Ice Law. What sort of power will be produced by fusing these two laws, I wonder?" Leon muttered before clapping his hands together.

Naturally, he knew that fire and ice would mutually destroy and cancel each other out, but this only applies when a person tries to fuse the elements.

What he was attempting to do was to fuse the two laws themselves.

In a short moment, the Fire Law and Ice Law in Leon's hands made contact before feeling a repulsive force pushing the two laws away from each other.

When he tried to force the two together, a stronger repulsive force was produced, forcing Leon's hands to bounce apart.

At the same time, the power of Fire Law and Ice Law in his hands was reduced in size.

"Simply jamming them together would not work, huh? Figures. If it was that easy, there would have been many experts in this field already," Leon said self-mockingly.

At the same time, the mutant rats were constantly on his tails.

With his hands preoccupied, he had been using his legs to sweep them away, clearing out space for himself to continue his experimentation.

'Since jamming together won't work. Let's try another approach… for example, the concept of yin and yang, perhaps?' Leon decided.

There was yin and yang, and yang in yin. The two form a delicate yet intricate balance with profound truths pertaining to the way of the universe.

Many things could be derived from the concept of yin and yang. Even some martial arts were formed based on yin and yang.

However, Leon took the most straightforward method and swirled the two laws of ice and fire together like two strands intertwining, forming many layers in between each other.

As such, the strands of Ice Law would always be surrounded by Fire Laws, while in turns, the strands of Fire Laws would also be surrounded by Ice Laws.

Leon watched the two laws coming together and contacted like two different colors blending in a mixer, causing his eyes to flicker with excitement.

'It's working!' Leon exclaimed in his mind before an accidental lapse in concentration immediately made the two powers spiral out of control, causing his expression to change abruptly in that single instance.

'Oh shit!'

Boom!

A powerful explosion immediately blew Leon like a catapult as his body through the air and slamming through numerous mutant rats, crushing them to death.

At the same time, the explosion generated an enormous blast wave of red and blue aura that immediately swept across the field of mutant rats.

"Ugh, to make such a rookie mistake…" Leon shook his head wryly with a self-deprecating smile before feeling pain in his arms.

After realizing one side was burnt while the other was frozen, Leon was astonished.

However, what lay in the distance ahead of him was even more astonishing than the injuries he found on his own hands!

One side of the field was completely scorched black by the flames, while the other side was frozen with numerous icy spikes pointed outward.

The area coverage of the damage far exceeded Leon's imagination.

If he had not been the culprit that caused such destruction, he would have believed that it was the result of trying to fuse two little balls of primary laws together.

"Isn't this sort of multiplicative increase in power a little too frightening? The power must have increased by at least a fiftyfold…" Leon's lips twitched at the result.

If the incomplete fusion power of two laws at the 9-Star Rank Awakener level already produced destruction similar to a Mid-stage Rank 1 Transcendent, how strong would a complete fusion power of ice and fire be?

All the mutant rats in the area of devastation were wiped out, but there are still many more vermin in the region.

"I shall put a pause on the law fusion experiment for now… It's a little too dangerous to play with," Leon chuckled wryly before shaking off the ice and healing his hands.

Shortly after his hands were healed with the triple aid of pills, wood energy, and his body's current regenerative ability, Leon drew his spear and dived back into battle.
