[Author note: The bloodline is changed into a new bloodline]
Alex was still in a daze.
What were these rewards?
It felt as if the Tower wanted him to become a god immediately and start ruling over the universe.
[Do you wish to merge these rewards?]
Alex hesitated. He had originally planned to merge them after leaving the Tower.
"Hell no! What if something doesn't function properly after going out?" he muttered. "I need to check them right away and make sure they actually work."
"Please merge them."
Instantly, an immeasurable pain flooded his body like a tsunami.
His muscles tore apart.
His bones felt as if they were being crushed and reforged.
His eyes burned as though molten stars had been poured directly into them.
His brain felt on the verge of exploding.
"Fuck you! Fuck you, bastard!" Alex roared in agony. "Why didn't you warn me about this pain?!"
The torment was so intense that he desperately wanted to faint, but even that mercy was denied to him. The pain itself kept him conscious, anchoring his awareness in a sea of suffering.
Time lost all meaning to him.
Then, after what felt like an eternity, his consciousness finally shattered and he fainted.
Meanwhile, the entire world outside was waiting.
They waited… and waited.
"Why isn't he coming out?" reporters argued frantically.
People in front of televisions across the planet were just as confused. Even the other candidates who had ascended alongside him could no longer see Alex. His figure was gone.
Because at this moment, Alex was lying on the stair itself,undergoing something far beyond a mere transformation.
His body grew taller.
His skin became as white as Jade.
His hair lengthened, turning a muted silver that seemed to blur at the edges, as though it did not fully belong to this world.
His physique, which was already exceptional, reached a flawless balance.
His genes transcended their limits.
His soul underwent purification.
His irises darkened at first… then cleared into an abyssal silver-gray, like empty space staring back.
Alex's existence began to align, not with the universe, but with the absence beneath it.
When the process ended, he felt like a child from a divine race who fell into the mortal world.
He felt detached from the world, as if the world was afraid of sullying his magnificence by touching him.
If the most handsome beings in the universe like human, demon, elf, or other races were rated at 95 points of charm, Alex would be at least 120.
Not only because he was overwhelmingly attractive.
But also because he felt unreachable.
Present, yet distant.
Visible, yet untouchable.
Slowly, he opened his eyes.
The moment he did, an unseen force merged seamlessly with his existence.
After the transformation, Alex felt calmer. Sharper. More mature.
His started seeing everything from a new perfective.
"The transformation is over?" he murmured. "But what exactly are these rewards?"
"The Chaos Physique… Existential Nullity… Eye of Revelation… What are they?"
No answer came.
The Tower had always been like this,granting names, never explanations. One had to explore their own power.
Alex opened his panel.
[Name: Alex Moriarty]
[Cultivation Talent: Eternal]
[Cultivation Level: 10]
[Cultivation Base: 10M / 20M]
[Energy Absorption: 3M/s]
Attributes:
Strength: 1000 tonnes
Speed: 200 m/s
Defense: 1000 tonnes
Spirit: 150 tonnes
His attributes had surged drastically.
But Alex's eyes widened when he saw the energy absorption rate.
Before the Tower, it had been 90/s.
Now it was 3 million per second.
"With this…" he whispered, stunned, "I could break through every minute with this talent."
A slow grin spread across his face.
"Eternal grade talent really is absurd."
He felt an overwhelming urge to rush out and hug his mother.
But then he noticed two new options on the panel,options that had never existed before.
Physique
Bloodline
He tapped Physique first.
[Primordial Chaos Physique: You can wield every elements in the universe.]
A simple description.
"All elements?" Alex muttered.
His heartbeat quickened, but he suppressed his excitement and tapped "Bloodline"

....
Alex stared at the screen.
This was not a race based bloodline.
Nor was it the inheritance of a mythical creature.
It was something fundamental.
He did not feel any change in his nature.
"Good," he exhaled quietly. "At least I will not lose myself."
The bloodline did not make him stronger. Instead, it made his enemies weaker.
It dragged them down to their most fundamental state. After that, all he had to do was defeat them.
He could not test the Eye of Revelation or his sword talent here. Those would have to wait.
"I am ready to go out," Alex said.
A portal immediately opened in front of him.
Taking a deep breath, he stepped forward.
Outside
The entire world held its breath as a portal appeared.
Reporters erupted into chaos.
Then someone stepped out.
But it was not Alex.
The young man who emerged froze instantly. His soul nearly left his body as he sensed the overwhelming presence around him.
Tens of emperors hovered in the sky.
Thousands of cameras stared from below.
The boy turned pale and collapsed on the spot.
"Get him to the hospital," an alliance officer ordered calmly. "And stop this madness. What if Sir Alex becomes displeased?"
Elizabeth's heart was pounding violently.
Then another portal opened.
This one was different.
Normally, portals were black.
This one was colorless, as if light itself bent away from it.
And from within, someone slowly walked out.
A man.
No.
Something beyond definition.
People forgot how to breathe the moment their eyes landed on him.
They felt insignificant.
As if what stood before them was something they should not be looking at.
Yet they could not resist the urge to look. It was as if a deity stood right in front of them, so close and yet impossibly far away.
Alex stood there, 180 centimeters tall. His silver hair drifted faintly, unaffected by the wind. His figure appeared slightly out of focus, as if the world itself struggled to properly render him.
Two female reporters collapsed, losing consciousness on the spot.
Arthur snapped his fingers instantly.
All cameras shut down.
"This is not something normal humans should look at for too long," he said quietly.
Alex let out a soft sigh.
Then he smiled faintly.
He looked at Arthur and instinctively activated the Eye of Revelation.
[Name: Arthur Cromwell
Realm: Emperor Level 9
Cultivation Talent: SS Grade
Bloodline Talent: Dragon Transformation]
"Whoa. The vice president really is a monster among monsters, isn't he?
No, no, no. That is not the main point.
I can actually see the profiles of others? How awesome is this talent?"
Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy was the key to victory.
