I Can Assimilate Everything - Chapter 120

Chapter 120: Rise! III
It was already dead.

Such words were actually uttered as the Empusa trembled fiercely!

“Do not force me-….!”

Empusas had a very unique sensation at the core of their being that alerted them to potential dangers.

This particular Empusa here… had felt her very existence tremble the moment that the figure of Achilles appeared and turned his gaze in her direction.

It was a sensation of fight or flight. The sensation that a prey felt when they came against their very natural predator.

And now she grasped her heart that she was trying to use as leverage to ensure that this being would not do what her very existence feared!

And yet…!

“Do! NOT! FORCE-…!”

Around her, swirling incandescent waves of blood had begun to surge as she bellowed out towards Achilles, and yet in the next moment, to her horror…she found her figure absolutely frozen.

And why would she not be frozen?

Opposite her, Achilles had a chilly gaze as the moment he stepped in here, he had pulled from one of the most powerful flaming seas that he had access to.

Organic and Inorganic Terrestrial Planetary Body.

Under this Assimilation, there was something termed…Territorial Domain III.

He had cast such a thing silently as in the surroundings; things had subtly begun to change that even the Empusa did not notice.

The ground…had already become covered with vibrant golden vines that unleashed green-blue leaves.

Around them, a hazy dome of gold had appeared as even if the Empusa truly shattered her heart, all impact would be retained here.

In this space.

In this Territorial Domain III, the ground and the enclosed skies fell under a terrifying control as even gravity could be altered in unique ways!

At this moment, vines had already wrapped around the feet of the Empusa as they slid up her thighs and towards her upper body, a terrifying pressure that even someone like her- a Major Ethereal Physiology Master who just needed more time and Blood to once again have the power of an Apex Ethereal Physiology Master…even she could no nothing against the oppressive gravity!

Paired with the golden vines that had risen from the ground, her whole figure became absolutely frozen as Achilles came to stand inches away from her.

Her fingers were unclasped forcefully as the Heart of an Empusa that she held fell out, Achilles grabbing onto it and looking it over coldly as he voiced out.

“As I said.”

WAA!

“Already dead.”

…!

He held her heart.

And as the Major Ethereal Physiology Ancient One was bound, he looked into her fearsome eyes while he called out silently!

‘Assimilate.’

BZZT!

Crimson eyes stared and looked into the pupils that were gold and purple.

And yet these eyes only saw a regal apathy as after a few seconds, the Empusa found her pupils forcefully being directed from Achilles’ face and towards his feet as if…she did not even deserve to look into his eyes.

It was an unexpected effect as Achilles knew he did not inherently do this, but it seemed to be an effect of the Lineage budding within him and seemingly becoming grander and grander as time passed.

He ignored it for now as from the live Assimilation of this Empusa, droves of scattered memories began to flow into him while the jaws of the humanoid female ahead of him opened in a silent scream- parts of her body, her very existence…being turned into pure crimson light that flowed into him.

Another flaming sea bloomed inside of him as he kept his gaze on the disappearing Empusa.

This was his power.

This was the type of thing that he, Achilles Adrastia Maxwell, was capable of.

This was only the tip of the iceberg, as there were unfathomably more things that were coming.

He thought of the feature of Combination and capability to Assimilate for others that he had to test out as silently, he watched an entire Empusa disappear before his eyes along with the heart that he held in his hands.

It was a show of terrifying dominance of power as his enemy was not even able to put up a fight in the face of the qualities could utilize!

He much rather preferred something like this- battles where he could one-sidedly dominate everything and ensure that no possible harm could come to him or to Rose.

This was a future that he wanted to ensure as at this moment, he closed his eyes and sensed the added flaming sea within him while his mind also compared the coming scattered memories with those he obtained from Bixi and the Origin Leucochloridium Worm.

Memories of the Ancient Times and the limited amount of lands that these three fairly average Ancient Ones back then crossed.

He looked at all of the while ultimately, the new capabilities and qualities of the existence he had just Assimilated made themselves clear to him.

Organic Homosapien Homovorus Echelon 3- Obtained Qualities of Vampyrism III, Blood Empowerment III, Supernatural Beauty III, Undead Physiology III, Supernatural Lifeforce III, and Echolocation III

“…”

Qualities that were unique and powerful in their own right appeared. The moment they did, his already vibrant existence filled with power subtly began to change!

Outwardly, the most obvious was Supernatural Beauty, which seemed to make his skin fairer and his facial structure to give off an unnatural glow as if he was some Ancient being others should not even be gazing at.

He only shook his head and let out a light sigh at such a thing while he began dissipating the Territorial Domain III.

Outside of it, he could already feel the budding noise and chaos as many Advanced Humans gathered here alongside prominently powerful Ethereal Physiology Masters like Overseer Jackson and Dr. Shaw.

Achilles already had a clear idea of what he needed to do next as with the power he had displayed right now, there were many things he could do.

When it came to the Behemoth that was the Lunaris Colony Overseers, who controlled multiple Colony Cities…there should be many resources and unique things they had gathered over the years for him to get his hands on and assimilate.

There was also the choice he had made that in the face of exceedingly powerful Ancient Ones, he would empower others to make sure there were actually powerful Advanced Humans to stand against Ancient Ones when they did come!

The answer to all of this had one person at the center that he needed to utilize.

His gaze went up as the bloody storm faded, looking at the figure of Luna beside Rose as he began to float upwards!
