Chapter 220: Genesis Fusion
[: Daniel POV :]
As my thoughts drifted about the future, my gaze remained fixated on the crystallized seed I held before me.
It possessed a darkness akin to the night, yet paradoxically, it emitted a bright glow.
The seed seemed to pulse with an ominous yet strangely comforting energy.
Sun's uncertainty about the usage of the Black Seed echoed in my mind.
If even he, a powerful being, was unaware of its potential, how was I expected to utilize it?
Before I knew it, I found myself studying the seed intently, searching for any subtle clues or hints it might offer.
In the midst of my contemplation, the system notifications suddenly materialized before me.
As I read the words displayed, a myriad of emotions washed over me—shock, disbelief, amazement, and a tinge of fear.
Never before had I experienced such a range of feelings triggered by the system's notifications.
The message left me confused, questioning the words of it.
What in the hell is happening?
[: You have discovered the Black Seed of the Forbidden Fruit. Do you wish to consume the seed? :]
There was nothing wrong with the words and it all seemed fine, but the next notification was what had greatly startled me.
[: Upon consuming the seed, you will harbour eternal enmity from ******. :]
[: Do you still wish to proceed? :]
I had never encountered such ominous words from the system before.
As I attempted to piece together the information, connecting the dots between Eve, the Forbidden Fruit, and the forewarned eternal hatred, several unsettling thoughts crossed my mind.
Was I scared?
No, it wasn't fear that gripped me.
Instead, it felt like the situation had escalated rapidly, introducing enemies I hadn't even encountered yet.
Nevertheless, I couldn't forget that the beginning of this journey was nothing short of hellish.
There was no escape, and a peaceful path had never appeared before me since the appearance of that Divinity.
It served as a reminder that the moment I stopped striving for power, it could very well spell the end of the world for me.
At this critical moment, a wry smile crept across my face.
The thought of making enemies or incurring the eternal hatred of some unknown entity held little weight in comparison to the burning hatred I had for whoever had constructed the Apocalypse.
My reason was clear.
It was to obliterate every monster and anyone associated with these malevolent beings, and I wouldn't stop no matter what.
Without any hesitation, I replied with a firm tone "Yes."
After this, there will be no path of retreat, no room for regret.
Even if it meant earning the ire of a god, I wouldn't be bothered by it.
What matters to me is to survive with all of my loved ones.
[: You have decided to consume the Black Seed :]
[: Caution :]
What...?
[: Upon consuming the Black Seed, your origins and existence will change, do you still wish to consume? :]
I don't know how many times was I surprised today.
The unfamiliarity of the situation made me wonder.
Why the warning?
Was there a side effect of consuming the Black Seed, or was it the prospect of change that prompted the system's concern?
As I contemplated the system's emphasis on change rather than mere side effects, a sense of curiosity took root.
What transformative power did the Black Seed hold?
The thought of it raised more questions than answers.
Why would the system warn? I couldn't help but ponder. But again, I won't hesitate even if the system is trying to warn me.
''Yes I do" I replied firmly.
[: Command has been confirmed :]
[: The Process of Command will begin in 3...2...1 :]
Suddenly, as the countdown reached its conclusion, my heart pounded so loudly that the room seemed to reverberate with each echoing beat.
The intensity of the pulsation became excruciating, causing me to involuntarily vocalize my discomfort.
"Agh! W- What on earth is happening!?"
Overwhelmed by the pain, I collapsed to my knees, unable to withstand the sudden and intense sensations coursing through my body.
Simultaneously, the Black Seed had somehow slipped from my grasp and now, it was floating in the air. Confusion clouded my mind as I grappled with countless questions.
"What's happening...?" I murmured, my thoughts racing.
However, before I could articulate any further inquiries, another thump resonated through my being.
This time, the pain intensified twofold, coursing through me with even greater severity.
Strangely, the veins throughout my entire body began to emit a reddish-purple glow.
As moments drifted away, the Black Seed gradually gravitated toward the centre of my chest. Suddenly, a surge of black light emanated from it.
"Agh!" I involuntarily let out a scream.
Simultaneously, I erected a sound barrier to prevent any interference from the four Saintesses. Having them coming at this crucial moment would only complicate matters.
As I braced myself to endure the escalating pain, I soon realized the severity of the situation, underestimating the intensity of the experience.
What unfolded was beyond my expectations, as the Black Seed seemed determined to embed itself directly into the depths of my chest.
Despite my formidable stats and other augmented powers, the Black Seed effortlessly penetrated through my chest, defying any defence I could muster.
The searing pain intensified with each passing moment, and as I gritted my teeth, blood began to trickle down, forming a small pool on the ground.
The sensation was not only excruciating but also accompanied by an unsettling discomfort, marking the undeniable impact of the Black Seed's intrusion.
After the Black Seed penetrated my chest, it hurt a lot.
But then, something strange happened. The wound it made started to heal by itself.
A black mist from the seed covered the hole, and slowly, it closed up. It was weird, but at least the pain had disappeared.
[: The Black Seed has been incorporated inside your body :]
[: Initiating Fusion Process :]
[: Daniel Bell Existence and Origin will be rewritten :]
I thought it was over yet it only intensified, revealing that the fusion was far from over.
Without even realizing it, I found myself letting out primal screams.
It was like the sound of a wild beast.
Even my eyes which once filled with clarity, had turned an eerie shade of white.
In this torturous pain, I couldn't think of anything, and my entire being seemed engulfed in an uncontrollable surge of pain.
It was as if my very bloodline and powers were rebelling, spiralling into chaos.
In the midst of this chaotic transformation, my hair and body underwent various changes, shifting between the forms of a dragon, a demon, and even a fairy.
It was all the manifestations of my bloodline.
Uncontrollable wings sprouted from my back.
As the transformation progressed, I could keenly sense the alterations taking place within my bones, muscles, skin, and even my organs.
The process was agonizing, and blood oozed through my pores, creating a gruesome scene.
At one point, my skin began to melt away, a gruesome pain that extended to my brain and heart before they miraculously regenerated.
If I were to describe what was happening in words, it was both a process of destruction and rebuilding. It felt like I was shedding an old skin and shell, creating a new one that would be more appropriate for my body. I didn't know how much time had passed, and it felt like days to me. Yet, it was only a mere half an hour.
I didn't know when or how, but by the time I had gained consciousness, I was breathing haggardly.
''What the hell was that!?'' I exclaimed with shocked eyes as I stared at my palm. I was somehow naked, but fortunately, my clothes and my armour were in the inventory.

[: 3rd POV :]
At the same time, in an unknown realm of darkness where it lurks and is filled with darkness, a certain otherworldly beauty opened her eyes in surprise.
She was sitting on a throne, but it appears that she has been sleeping for aeons, yet at this moment, she opened her eyes.
For some unknown reason, tears were dropping from her eyes.
''Has...someone finally could consume the seed...?'' She muttered in a tone of desperation, yearning and even love.
Her eyes that were lack of emotions were now full of burning emotions, and it was to the point, that her expression was full of madness.
''Finally..." She muttered. ''Finally...my son has been born!'' She exclaimed obsessively.
''Where are you my...son?'' She questioned with madness and suddenly, she gazed towards a certain direction.
''Oh...there you are, hiding in a small blue planet'' She chuckled creepily as her laughter faded from existence.
