Building Interstellar Empire With Universal Synthesis

Chapter 194: Chapter 194: Power Surge

The Ancient One was not merely a resurrected beast. It was a Type 3 Mystique cosmic powerhouse, and its terrifying energy signature was still rising at an exponential, unstoppable rate.

Dragons were universally feared across all eras for their unparalleled physical density and supreme magical dominance.

Therefore, it was no surprise that even Neo, a Type 4 Legend, completely failed to mount a proper defense in time against such a sudden, overwhelming strike.

​The sheer kinetic force was not the only lethal factor. The primordial dragon had infused its colossal blow with absolute darkness energy.

This invasive, rotting force violently assaulted Neo’s mind, threatening to completely collapse his consciousness.

​Fortunately, his supreme biology reacted autonomously to the fatal threat. His Primordial Demon Physique came to life beneath his shattered armor, greedily absorbing as much of the destructive darkness energy as it possibly could to keep his soul anchored to his body.

​Despite his physique fighting back, Neo felt his vision violently swim. The cold, violent reality of the void slowly faded away. It was quickly replaced by the surreal sensation of floating adrift in an endless, tranquil ocean.

The mental waters were incredibly peaceful.

The atmosphere was so perfectly harmonic and entirely devoid of pain that a quiet, exhausted part of his soul simply wanted to sink into the warm depths and rest there for all eternity.

​Suddenly, a booming warm voice pierced right through the tranquil illusion. It echoed downward from an entirely unknown higher dimension.

​"Wake up, my boy! You cannot give up so easily! You still need to protect your mother and your sister, remember!"

Neo blinked into the warm, golden mist. Standing atop the tranquil waters was a tall, casual figure wearing a relaxed smile, looking altogether unbothered by the fact that he was currently imprisoned in a distant, unknown realm.

​"Dad? Is that really you?"

​"Yes. In the spirit, kiddo," his father chuckled, crossing his arms and shaking his head fondly.

"Look at you, floating around in your own head like a sleepy log while an overgrown lizard uses you as a space pinball. I leave you alone for a little while, and you go and get knocked through three planets."

​Neo let out a embarrassed laugh, rubbing the back of his neck.

"It caught me completely off guard. Its physical speed and energy density were absurd."

​"Excuses, excuses," his father teased gently, stepping closer. "If your mother saw you covered in dirt and blood like this, she would find a way to break into my prison just to give me an earful for letting you fight alone. And your sister? She would never let you live this down. Imagine the relentless mockery if she finds out her big god-emperor brother got sent flying by an overgrown lizard."

​His father extended a glowing, radiant hand, resting it gently on Neo’s shoulder. Instantly, a warm tide of pure, unadulterated divine essence surged through Neo’s spirit.

​"Where are you right now, Dad? Can I break the seal and bring you back?"

His father shook his head with a warm smile.

​"That is a story for another day, my boy. For now, just know that your old man still has enough juice to fix up his favorite son. Do not worry about my location yet. Just focus on what is right in front of you."

​The divine essence flooded Neo’s physical body back in the real world.

Deep within the crushed core of the shattered planet, his left arm snapped cleanly back into place.

Next, the golden blood stopped flowing as his deep wounds instantly closed, and his shattered bones knit together stronger than ever before.

Lastly, the dark invasive energy lingering in his bloodstream was completely erased, replaced by the blazing brilliance of absolute godhood.

His energy reserves did not just recover; they surged to a peak he had never reached before.

​"Now get up! Go show that ancient oversized gecko what happens when someone messes with a Godson."

"FRAGILE SPARK OF GENESIS, IS THAT ALL IT TOOK TO BREAK YOU?"

​The arrogant and disdainful words of the Black Dragon echoed across the star system, shaking the very fabric of space.

​However, its booming laughter was abruptly cut short. A blinding light suddenly erupted from the core of the broken planet where Neo had crashed.

​FLASH!

​The light was extremely radiant, burning with the brilliance of a newborn star. The overwhelming luminosity forced all the lower beings in the rebel and Zenith fleets to tightly shut their eyes in sheer pain.

​"Ah, What is happening down there?" Doctor Clark yelled, shielding his face with his armored gauntlet.

"Why is the planetary core is glowing!"

​In the next second, a swirling whirlpool of pure white light rapidly expanded from the debris. It grew bigger and bigger, creating a majestic cosmic storm. Neo’s body had already completely merged with its absolute center.

​Then, something genuinely miraculous happened. The massive rocky fragments of the broken planet suddenly turned into an ethereal silver mist, which was violently pulled into the swirling vortex.

​The terrified Freedom Alliance commanders did not understand what they were witnessing, but Noir and Zestia knew exactly what it was. It was the absolute effect of his Supreme Talent: [Universal Synthesis].

​Neo was unleashing the ability at overclocked state.

​Hummm! Hummmm! Hummmm!

​Whatever the blinding white vortex touched instantly melted into pure cosmic essence. Within mere seconds, an entire terrestrial planet was perfectly synthesized with his very being.

​"Incredible," Noir whispered in absolute awe, wiping away her previous tears. "He is not just healing. He is synthesizing the entire world’s mass into his own flesh and blood!"

​It was nothing like the chaotic Devour of the Black Dragon, where only a tiny portion of the raw energy could actually be utilized. By using Universal Synthesis, Neo was ensuring that every single microscopic drop of essence became a permanent, flawless part of his being.

​Deep within his consciousness, profound notifications cascaded like a waterfall.

​[ Strength +1,000 ]

[ Agility +1,100 ]

[ Vitality +1,200 ]

[ Endurance +1,000 ]

[ Reaction Speed +900 ]

[ Recovery Rate +950 ]

[ Strength +800 ]

[ Agility +900 ]

...

[ Cosmic Force +1,300 ]

[ Cosmic Force +1,500 ]

[ Cosmic Force +1,400 ]

...

[ Nether Force +500 ]

[ Nether Force +550 ]

[ Nether Force +600 ]

​The influx of absolute power was terrifying. Soon, all of his physical stats violently shattered the 30,000 mark.

Simultaneously, his Cosmic and Nether Forces skyrocketed, easily crossing the unimaginable threshold of 150,000.

​The Black Dragon frowned.

"What trick is this, tiny mortal? You dare steal cosmic matter in my presence?"
