Chapter 1022 [Guardian Of The Underworld, Anubis]

-----

My body changed its form as I saw an endless cloud of darkness and phantasmal essence spreading further around. It quickly started turning deep red and blue, changing between these two dark colors as red demonic energy spread through my veins, at the same time as moonlight essence materialized into the form of a metallic golden balance in my hands, and a sharp, long golden scythe in the other.

My usual humanoid form was gone, as I now stood over five meters tall, my body had become much slender, and covered on black fur, while wearing an Egyptian dress of white, gold, and black colors. My face felt longer, I had the head of a delicate jackal, including the long, pointy ears and the sharp eyes. My fingers became beast-like and large, looking like sharp and deadly claws.

Looking at the reflection in a mirror made of moonlight energy, I had completely changed, becoming something similar to the description of "Anubis" I knew about. I even gained a long, fluffy black tail. I had truly become some sort of Divine Beast Goddess of Death.

And it showed, my very presence filled the entire forge with a cloud of Death, countless souls suddenly surging from them, groaning and roaring, as if ready for anything. With just a thought, hundreds of Undead attempted to crawl out of this endlessly expanding mist, I had to stop them before they were to flood the entire forge.

"How amusing, do you see the potential of Skill Fusion now?" Asked Michael. "I did tell you that once you evolved, the power of the System would increase tremendously, you would gain additional abilities from it. This, is one of them."

"Do the other Players of the Tower don't get this?" I wondered.

"Of course not! Although it might be possible for them to combine Skill sometimes, with special items or the help of Gods." He said. "But nobody can do it as freely as you."

"So this Unique Skill really makes me more unique than I ever imagined, even when compared to the Tower Rankers, and the powerful Gods that live in each World connected to the Tower..." I said.

"Precisely." He nodded. "Now, do you want to combine more Skills? You got a lot more to combine and lots of System Points, I would say to just go ham and get as strong as you can."

"I know you love tempting me with using my system points, but no, not for now." I stopped myself from getting a bit too greedy. "I have obtained a lot of new Skills already; I want to get used to them first. Also this new Fusion Skill feels much more complex than just a transformation. Let me see the description a bit."

"Oh yeah, this is definitely an insane Skill!" I gasped. "Nice!"

I felt accomplished after seeing such an insane ability. And it felt even more rewarding to know it was made out of the Skills I acquired from each of my previous Evolutions. It felt like my powers were finally combing together, as I forged a path I've never thought about before.

"I'll have to test this later against some monsters or something..." I quickly turned back to normal. "I've noticed though, are these Skill Fusions the same as the Skill Merges that happened when I ate those Death Fruits?"

"No, that was related to Skill Evolution, these Skill Fusions are much better, as you can decide what you want to combine. Even if completely unrelated with one another." Michael explained.

"I see... Alright, I'm going for now."

I quickly opened my eyes in the outside world, finding some of my family and friends awake at this hour.

"Look who's awake already." Emeraldine looked at me, who was cuddling at my side.

"Good morning." Lucifer was already up and clothed.

"Hmm..." However, Jonathan was still sleeping, butt-naked right at my left side. "Five more minutes..."
