Chapter 151: Dragon Puppet
Now, they had two distinct energy pathways.
One originated from their soul, while the other served as a secondary mind equivalent to a magic stone.
"It is time to create a new puppet," Sion murmured.
After upgrading his puppets and turning them into true beings, Sion felt inspired to keep making more.
He no longer needed to split his mind to control multiple puppets at once, since they could act independently while still allowing him to take direct control during critical moments.
Constructing new puppets made complete sense.
Relying solely on Satella to guard the dungeon would not yield enough energy source, since far too few monsters ever made it up to the surface.
However, given the capabilities of his puppets, sending a top tier puppet to lead a team into the dungeon would allow them to harvest energy rapidly while ensuring safety.
Sion began.
Countless images swept through his mind…
As he recalled a specific skill he held, a plan took shape.
Whether human, elf, spirit, monster, or god, all living beings shared a single common trait.
That was their racial power.
Even elemental spirits had that sustained their life functions.
Their traits manifested differently than those of humans.
For instance, a salamander's trait was pure flame, serving as both the source of its strength and the core of its existence.
Certain humans received the favor of spirits, carrying spirit trait also their blood within their bodies.
The Crozzo family was a prime example.
Inheriting that power allowed them to forge powerful magic swords that surpassed standard crafting limits.
However, after the magic swords created by the Crozzo family devastated the homelands of numerous elves, their lineage was cursed.
Though that trait might lie dormant within the body, it never truly disappeared, serving as proof of transcending ordinary human being.
Sustaining bodily functions and enabling self repair was the fundamental purpose of blood life itself.
Much like Alphonse Elric in Fullmetal Alchemist, a person without a proper body was no longer a complete living entity.
The same held true for gods.
Beyond their divine authority and power, gods maintained physical forms built for combat.
When gods descended to the lower world, their strength was sealed alongside their arcanum , yet that did not render their physical forms fragile.
Based on this theory and Sion's technology, as long as he gathered enough templates, he could generate genetic information matching supernatural creatures, granting them various distinct traits.
Compared to the overwhelming advantages provided by soul, trait seemed almost trivial, making these genetic factors little more than a personal hobby for Sion.
When Sion assigned elven traits to Satella, her lifespan and raw strength did not surpass those of ordinary elves.
Yet minor advantages were still advantages.
Sion happened to own a skill capable of amplifying these subtle traits.
[Dragon Eater]
This skill granted an effective dragon advantage, dealing far greater damage to dragons while weakening incoming attacks.
It could also bestow dragon traits onto others.
While the basic boost was modest, it maximized the effectiveness of anti dragon attacks.
Alternatively, this allowed the user to acquire dragon traits.
To Sion, the skill served as a reminder to remain true to his path, though in his current situation, it held intriguing possibilities.
"Time to begin, Dragon Eater," Sion said.
By chance, Sion held the soul of the black dragon in his collection.
Souls that had not ascended to heaven to undergo purification retained immense amounts of information, including physical data.
The dragon's soul would never be drawn into heaven because monster souls differed fundamentally from those of humans, tainted as they were by a corruption opposed to the gods.
Sion held exceptional abilities capable of cleansing such corruption at any moment, yet that remained an educated guess.
Until he could be certain, he refused to risk corrupting himself.
Therefore, Sion decided to consume the dragon through a puppet.
Puppets were entities born from Sion's mind and soul matter.
Under his precise control, his personal skills could extend through them seamlessly.
As Sion funneled his mind, a light engulfed the stored soul.
The skill dragon eater activated, utilizing Sion's mind as its foundation to consume the black dragon.
It was undeniably a remarkable skill.
Though Sion's trait had transformed dramatically, a deep sense of familiarity assured him that the dragon taking shape before him remained an extension of his own self.
"The energy ran out…"
Sion muttered, feeling a slight headache coming on.
To resolve the issue, he simply extracted the power core from unit zero one.
Its utility had largely waned. Raiden having become a living entity, displayed combat capabilities far superior to unit zero one.
Furthermore, once this process reached completion, the dragon puppet would easily outclass unit zero one in battle.
