My Monster Fuses Everything

'Good fellows'

Zhu Xiong raised his eyebrows, impressed by Old Guo's skillfulness, but priorities were priorities, so he said, "I'll recover first; have them clean up the battlefield."

"Sure, leave it to me."

Guo Gang immediately organized people to clean up the battlefield, gathering all the monster corpses to one side, while also dispatching Sky Cavalry to report back about the large-scale battle and to call for more hands to move the monster corpses.

He arranged for vehicles to surround the area where the Blackthorn Glutton was, with heavy trucks forming a circle, followed by Vine Giant Rats, and Tree Domain warriors patrolling and keeping watch.

The breakthrough during the Divine Initiation Ritual is one of the contract systems of the Book of Blood Spirit, where if anyone in the team needs to break through, it is the duty of the others to protect; this is also the meaning of the team.

Anyone could potentially break through, and helping others now was also helping oneself.

Of course, unless it was a special rescue mission, naturally, there was no time to break through.

Guo Gang was a careful man, positioning as the innermost and outermost members of the search team the 'veterans', the strongest and most trustworthy.

Guo Gang had everything ready on his end, but Zhu Xiong did not concern himself with these details; his talk of recovery was not just lip service.

Using his Spiritual Power Talent in combat, although decidedly efficient and powerful, did come with a cost.

Having undergone a Divine Initiation Ritual before, he knew what this breakthrough meant; the Glutton was about to Devour and Fuse with the Blackthorn Glutton, and he would face the even wilder will of the Blackthorn Glutton alone in his Sea of Consciousness. Experience tales with empire

If he didn't approach the breakthrough in the best condition, he'd likely bite off more than he could chew.

After a good half an hour, Zhu Xiong finished meditating and then his gaze fell upon the Blackthorn Glutton.

Nodding to Guo Gang, he declared, "I'm starting now."

Zhu Xiong summoned the Divine Initiation Ritual, and a red light gradually enveloped both the Glutton and the Blackthorn Glutton.

His mind immersed, he, too, entered a space of consciousness.

"Roar"

The fierce and violent Blackthorn Glutton appeared in front of him, frenzied and desperate, charging at him as soon as it appeared.

Zhu Xiong grinned, showing no great panic, "Uncle me, I've got more than just my bare hands this time."

His Talent activated, purple light converged, and what appeared in his hand was a Spiritual Energy shield.

For Talented Ones undergoing the Divine Initiation Ritual, they have the advantage of using their Talents within the Sea of Consciousness.

....

The battle within Zhu Xiong's consciousness space did not last long, and even he suffered little damage.

The Spiritual Energy shield in his consciousness space was even more handy, and while it may not have been stronger, a single shield with serrated edges like a chainsaw was enough.

Zhu Xiong, with his shield in hand like a berserk warrior, slaughtered the Blackthorn Glutton, while in reality, as the Glutton, his two terrifyingly large mouths tore and devoured at an extremely rapid and vicious pace, completing the Devouring and Fusion.

The red light gradually condensed, and the Glutton's form underwent dramatic changes.

Its size remained around six meters, but the overall appearance became darker and more solid, with muscles bulging under the skin that shone with a metallic luster as if clad in armor, greatly increasing its toughness.

The vicious head sprouted sharp black spikes, and a mouth that split to the base of its ears displayed black, blade-like teeth.

At the ends of both arms, what were once hands were now huge, claw-like, with knife-sharp digits, and in the centers of the palms were two gaping mouths with teeth as sharp as spikes.

The arms were extraordinarily bulked up, with rows of black spikes growing out along the forearms, dense and razor-like, partially resembling the Blackthorn Glutton.

The spine, elbows, knees, heels, and even at the chest sprouted numerous black spikes, gleaming with a sharp radiance.

"Roar"

The Blackthorn Glutton roared powerfully, its presence overpowering the entire area and making everyone's face change color.

"Third Order."

Guo Gang's face lit up with joy; he knew his Maotai was secured.

Turning his gaze to Zhu Xiong, he saw him enveloped in purple Spiritual Energy light, and soon Zhu Xiong opened his eyes. Thanks to the nourishment from the Blackthorn Glutton, he too had taken a step forward, reaching the Lower Tier of the Third Order.

Zhu Xiong reined in his aura and quickly opened his eyes, looking at the Blackthorn Glutton before him and grinning.

'Spiked Eruption and Rapid Regeneration, my strength has increased by a large margin'

The Blackthorn Glutton's changes were now clear to him. In terms of physicality, whether it was strength, defense, or speed, they had all reached the Third Order, but he left that aside for now.

What was more significant were these two Skills. Spiked Eruption was clearly the Blackthorn Glutton's skill, but now it was more powerful; not only could the spikes on the arms be shot out, but all three mouths could also burst forth with Spiritual Energy charged black spikes.

The attack was potent and could reach a great distance, covering his weaknesses.

And Rapid Regeneration boosted his stamina, no doubt an important enhancement.

This boost in strength was a solid gain for him.

"Old Zhu, how do you feel?"

"Better than a full-service foot bath."

Zhu Xiong grinned and then commanded, "Get the team together, and head straight for the depot."

......

By the time the entire team sneaked into the Northern Suburb Petrochemical Depot, it was noontime.

The movement of the convoy along the way drew attacks from surrounding monsters consistently, but this time with the Blackthorn Glutton clearing the way, the method was thunderous, quite unlike before.
