My Monster Fuses Everything

Bai Qilan's bright eyes shimmered, "Did it work?"

Su Han nodded, the purple energy in his hand flowing like a liquid, slowly morphing as he spoke, "As a Soul Fusionist, I differ from Old Zhu and the others. Let's disband them; we'll test it out."

"I'll inform Old Zhu and the rest."

Using her abilities, Bai Qilan transmitted a message with her spiritual energy to Zhu Xiong and the others outside.

Upon receiving Bai Qilan's message, Zhu Xiong finally let his guard down and told his subordinates, "Mission completed, you have one hour of free time. After an hour, assemble in the Second Ring Area, and continue to clear out monsters and search for survivors—the more Contribution Value, the better."

"Understood, Captain."

The news about the strength enhancement potions had spread gradually, especially among the first fifty Tree Domain warriors who received the injection.

Although they hadn't awakened any Talents, their physical conditioning had significantly improved, making their fighting capabilities on par with, if not better than, those of the Angel Envoys, arousing envy in many.

Now that Zhu Xiong mentioned earning Contribution Value, naturally, there were many eager to comply.

Zhu Xiong and Gan Xinglei each led people away to carry out other tasks. After that, Su Han and Bai Qilan emerged, heading straight for the underground parking lot of the Summer Garden Mall.

The parking lot here was more aptly named an underground prison.

Aside from the Eye Beast and Tentacle-faced Monsters captured by Su Han's team in the early days, as Tree Domain's personnel grew, lands expanded, and battles occurred, a large number of monsters were captured and brought here continuously.

Even Su Han was uncertain about the exact number and types of monsters inside, but it was sure Zhu Xiong and his crew had been working for Contribution Value and camp development, capturing Second-grade Monsters and bringing them here.

Su Han, leading Bai Qilan, headed towards the dungeon. After acquiring the Parasitic Corpse Willow, the place was almost without guards.

Normally, were the Nine-Snake Mother Tree in the camp, its vines would fill the entire dungeon prison, preventing any monsters from escaping.

And if the tree was out on an expedition, it didn't matter much either because the Parasitic Corpse Willows were planted inside in large quantities, their vines and roots spreading throughout the entire dungeon as well.

Although they lacked the power of the Nine-Snake Mother Tree, regular monsters had absolutely no chance of silently escaping under such intensive control.

Su Han and Bai Qilan arrived at a further location inside, where a nearly five-meter-tall Sickle Beetle and a Skeletal Giant Spider were imprisoned in a huge metal cell.

These were some of the Second-grade Monsters inside. As soon as Su Han and Bai Qilan approached, they emitted threatening hisses.

Bai Qilan watched Su Han's figure curiously, wondering why he had brought her here.

"I'll choose the two of you," Su Han said.

He had intended to pick others, but the Sickle Beetle and the Skeletal Giant Spider volunteered by stepping forward.

Controlled by his will, the metal cell holding the Sickle Beetle began to deform, hard metal bars immediately forming a huge hole.

"Hiss hiss,"

The Sickle Beetle, sensing a threat emanating from Su Han, immediately squeezed through the hole and charged toward him.

The sound of its hard, segmented legs tapping the ground resounded—rapid and heavy.

Ten meters separated Su Han from the creature, but that distance was merely a moment for it to cross.

A massive dark shadow loomed over Su Han, sharp forelimbs cleaving left and right.

With a swift movement, Su Han was already in front of the Sickle Beetle. Not summoning the Floating Pagoda Black Armor or using his metal manipulation ability, he landed a direct punch.

Crack

The hard exoskeleton, capable of withstanding bullets, couldn't withstand Su Han's punch—it cracked open, blood spattering, as the Sickle Beetle let out a pain-filled hiss.

The Sickle Beetle attacked with vigor, but Su Han easily dodged.

Already a Third Order combatant, Su Han's power had increased significantly since injecting the enhancement potion, with heightened sensitivity. The swift actions of the Sickle Beetle were to him as slow motion.

After warming up his limbs for a while, Su Han's hands ignited with faint purple energy.

The Sickle Beetle attacked again, its forelimbs as fast as lightning.

However, Su Han grasped the limb, holding it in place fiercely, rendering the Sickle Beetle immobile.

The purple energy soon enveloped the Sickle Beetle; the point of contact resembled a swirling vortex.

"Hiss hiss,"

A fearful roar emanated from the Sickle Beetle's mouthparts as it struggled desperately to escape Su Han's grasp.

But the overwhelming difference in strength made it impossible for it to leave as it wanted, and the purple energy exerted an unimaginable suppressive force.

With the vortex at the contact point as the nexus, energy spreading over the Sickle Beetle's body became a conduit; vast amounts of spiritual energy flowed from the Sickle Beetle to Su Han, merging slowly through the Spirit Melding Vortex into Su Han's body.

The more spiritual energy was absorbed, the weaker the Sickle Beetle's resistance became. It tried to lift its other limb to strike at Su Han.

But with a light chuckle, Su Han reached out to catch it, and the force in the forelimb became increasingly feeble under his control.

Spiritual energy was a fundamental foundation of creatures in this post-apocalyptic world. As Su Han withdrew massive amounts of it, how could the Sickle Beetle possess any strength to resist?

'The improvement is not bad,' Su Han thought.

Vast amounts of Spiritual Energy infused into his body, slowly enhancing his physique, and his strength increased while the accumulated Spiritual Energy inside his body converged continuously.

In the space of consciousness, the Spiritual Energy gathered like droplets of water, and the absorbed Spiritual Energy resembled floating spheres that suspended themselves around him, waiting to be integrated.

The pace of Spiritual Energy extraction was swift, and in the face of the vast disparity in power, the resistance of the sickle-claw bug against the pull of the Spirit Melding Vortex was futile.

And when the Spiritual Energy in its body was drained completely, the life force of the sickle-claw bug dwindled like a flickering candle in the wind until it was nearly exhausted.

Its enormous body had completely collapsed on the ground, and its barely audible roars along with slight movements of its segmented limbs still indicated it had not entirely passed away.

If the consumption of Spiritual Energy were to be graded, then in addition to being completely depleted and overconsumed, another term should be added: life overdrawn.

At this moment, the amount of the sickle-claw bug's Spiritual Energy siphoned off was beyond slow recovery.

Of course, Su Han had no intention of leaving it alive, for the Spirit Melding was not yet over.

Following his instincts, the Spirit Melding Vortex in Su Han's hand gradually enlarged, and the devouring force surged sharply.

Soon, the body that had had its Spiritual Energy sucked dry began to rapidly disintegrate under the cover of the Spirit Melding energy and the Spirit Melding Vortex.

The physical body dissipated, turning into dust-like particles that gradually vanished.

Above the original location of the body, waves of transformed Spiritual Energy moved erratically, rushing about wildly but unable to break through the Spirit Melding Vortex's lock.

Among this chaotic Spiritual Energy, there was also a distinct dark-purple shadow, which turned out to be a much smaller version of the sickle-claw bug—its body rigid but its facial features clearly visible and transparent.

Bai Qilan watched the scene in shock, but at that moment, Su Han gently beckoned, and all the Spirit Melding energy, Spiritual Energy, and the shadow of the sickle-claw bug rushed into his body before disappearing completely.

In the depths of Su Han's consciousness, the Soul Body Su Han sat above the surface of the lake where the Spiritual Energy converged, surrounded by darkness, with a human-sized sphere of Spiritual Energy floating in the pitch-black void.

A stream of Spiritual Energy formed a conduit connected to the Soul Su Han, continuously transferring energy. Inside the sphere of Spiritual Energy, the sickle-claw bug was imprisoned, providing its abilities.

After Su Han had done all of this, Bai Qilan was so astonished, her eyes wide with disbelief, "Did you just devour the sickle-claw bug?"

Devour, an apt metaphor indeed.

While Su Han hadn't made any exaggerated movements, it indeed looked like he completely devoured the defenseless sickle-claw bug with each motion ensnared by the Spirit Melding Vortex.

"Spirit Melding to strengthen oneself,"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He smiled and said, "That's my ability."

He then looked towards another creature. As his gaze shifted, the frightened Skeletal Giant Spider suddenly went berserk, fiercely ramming into the cage in front of it.

This was no longer the fear brought about by power but an instinctual terror from prey towards their predator.

With a flick of his finger, the energy of Spirit Melding emerged along it, and suddenly before him appeared two pairs of purple Energy-construed scythe-like limbs of the sickle-claw bug.

Whoosh

A pale purple blade light flashed by, and the Skeletal Giant Spider, which was ramming into the cage, suddenly had a gash oozing blood continuously.

The blade light had cut through the hard exoskeleton, and on the dark carapace of the spider, a long wound was left that bled persistently, quickly staining the ground red.

The Skeletal Giant Spider retreated in terror to the farthest corner of the cage.

If Su Han had not intentionally controlled it, the Skeletal Giant Spider would now be bisected.

Su Han could still harness the powers of the beings melded by his Spirit Melding.

'Quite a significant consumption.'

Su Han felt it for a moment, and his eyebrows raised slightly, for the consumption of his own Spiritual Energy was secondary, but using the sickle-claw bug's power actually drained the energy from the Spiritual Energy sphere as well.

Bai Qilan was already amazed to the point of disbelief, her eyes flickering with excitement as she said, "You can not only devour the Spiritual Energy of other creatures but also wield their power. This Talent might be even more special than I imagined."

Seeing Su Han's Talent as so unique, Bai Qilan naturally felt elated.

The emergence of the Talented Contractors would undoubtedly once again differentiate the pyramid of the human power hierarchy.

Strength patterns and balances might be disrupted with the appearance of more Contractors and the awakening of more Talented Ones.

It is true that for humanity, each new source of strength adds a layer of security.

But she was now Su Han's woman and both were people of the Tree Domain. No one wished for Su Han's authority to be undermined.

If it were just an Energy substantialization ability in the realm of Spiritual Shaping, it might not significantly enhance Su Han's capabilities, at least not in the current stage.

Should someone with an extremely powerful Talent emerge, they could potentially pose a threat to Su Han.

But now, Bai Qilan felt somewhat relieved because Su Han's Talent was also quite unique, and it vaguely resembled the methods he used above that of an Angel Envoy.

However, that ability was not supposed to be a Talent.

Doubts emerged in Bai Qilan's heart, but right now, she was more concerned with Su Han's Talent.

So, she asked seriously, "Does your devouring have a limit?"
