Chapter 361: Awakening the Beast
Mio now had a vast collection of genes and had long been prepared for cultivation.
So when the time came to choose which genes to use, the decision had already been made.
First were the more common types—genes from various beasts and pirates. But alongside them were special ones.
Among the special genes, Mio selected the Jera gene, the Senju Hashirama gene, the Red Lotus gene, the Yamata no Orochi gene, the Big Clam gene, and finally the Erwa gene.
These were acquired either through the lottery system or by killing ability users and had been preserved until now, waiting for this exact moment.
Once the selection was finalized, Mio activated the cultivation.
The familiar cultivation screen lit up in front of him.
With a light smile, Mio glanced at the two remaining massive Stomak Barons and returned in a flash to the Black Glory. The enormous scarlet skeletal giant that had once enveloped him had already dissipated.
As for the other two Stomak Barons, there was no rush. One was already undergoing cultivation, and it wouldn’t be too late to deal with the others afterward.
Just then, Hancock—who had been observing everything—asked in confusion, "My Lord, did you destroy the entire island in one attack? Why is there no trace left? It’s as if it vanished into thin air."
She had been watching Mio’s performance carefully. As the current ruler of Amazon Lily and the future queen of the island, Hancock had already seen Mio’s overwhelming strength before. But witnessing it again always amazed her. Her maturity had grown alongside her ambition for strength, and observing powerful figures like Mio helped her broaden her perspective.
