'My race became a Human Transcender? The fuck does that even mean?'
At this moment, Caleb felt that the fusion was worth it. He not only retained his abilities. But he also advanced to the 3rd realm of this world! Well, he had to sacrifice his taboo energy and a vast amount of physical energy though... Now, he can't advance to Destiny Path and Shadow Path anymore. If he wants to, he needs to start from scratch again. Well, he could also fuse the genetic energy he has to whatever power system he wants, though, for instant advancement.
The fusion of taboo energy and physical energy to his genetic energy increased his attributes significantly. From previous 10,000 to 25,000 in one go! He didn't know how strong he was now, but he could feel that he could fight a Tier 5 Destiny now! Not to mention, he hasn't inserted in any of the three gene locks available yet.
Another change was, that the taboo energy sensitivity was the only thing that disappeared. As of now, he couldn't feel the presence of taboo energy anymore. At least, he wasn't as sensitive to it as he used to be.
Now, the thing he needs to prioritize is to find three suitable genes to insert into his three newly unlocked gene slots. It would surely boost his strength to a significant degree and he might reach the level one-man army!
'As of now, no one in the country knows that there are already four 3rd Gene Lock unlockers with my addition...' Caleb chuckled.'Still, my fusion system is really too cheating. It helped me convert two energy types into another energy of my choosing.'
He could actually feel that his genetic energy was a bit different. The genetic energy in itself can't be attached to weapons or be used to boost the strength of the body parts. It can only be used as a fuel for genetic abilities. Now, he could actually feel that his energy managed to inherit the characteristics of his taboo energy! He could feel that could imbue his genetic energy to his weapons and boost his body parts like before!
'What should I fuse next?'
Caleb licked his lips. He already tasted the sweetness of his fusion ability. He also feels that there are too many abilities in his panel. Might as well fuse them into one ability so it would be pleasing to the eye.
Just like that, Caleb thought of abilities suitable and decided on his heart. 'Phantom Step +
Shadow Veil + Ephemeral Cloak + Umbral Fortitude + Shadow bound Weaponry + Veil Walker + Ephemeral Blade... Fuse!'
DING!

Name: Shadow Assistants
Type: Passive Ability
Rank/Quality: A-rank
Description: Your shadow is now a separate entity. You can use it for scouting or attach it to any weapon and any part of your body to multiply the power unconditionally by 200%! You have a current total of three shadows. Your three shadows have 50% of your strength. The three shadows can fuse together to obtain 150% of your strength.
Tip: Increase the quality of the ability to gain more shadows.

Caleb whistled subconsciously. 'Amazing... Damn, they're even 50% stronger than me if they fuse together.'
In theory, 50% of his strength is enough to fight toe to toe with the Extraordinary Realm. Meaning, that each of his shadows is actually equal to the Extraordinary Realm! Not only that, it was a growth-type ability since it was a percentage base. If he grows stronger, the 50% or even the 150% becomes more and more terrifying. What amazing assistants!
As for the multiplier effect. It was even better!
As he thought of this, Caleb looked at his shadow and almost jumped when he saw it waved to him in a friendly manner. That's not the end yet. Two shadows separated themselves from the original one and pointed at each other like a Spiderman meme.
'So this is why it's passive? I can't deactivate them or something...'
With interest, he watched as his original shadow and the other two bicker at each other using gestures. He couldn't really understand what they were doing. At this instance, he knew that his shadow was really a separate entity from him.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Let's see if they could really do what the description could do..."
Caleb stared at the three shadows and instructed. "Go separately to my father, mother, and Klein and see what they are doing."
Unlike what he expected. The three shadows looked at him strangely and didn't move. One was looking at him with disdain. The other's gaze, on the other hand, was that of nonchalance. The last was gentle.
"Hey, didn't you guys hear me? I'm your boss. You're my damned assistants! Go and do the task I gave you." Caleb said with annoyance in his tone.
Unfortunately, the three shadows didn't move, causing a black line to appear on Caleb's forehead. Damn it! Are my shadows defective!? I want a refund!
Caleb took a deep breath. 'Maybe I should try a different approach?
Stay updated through empire
'Then, he decided to think of the three shadows and mentally command them to do the assigned tasks. To monitor three of his family members. Fortunately, this time. The three finally reacted. The arrogant one who kept looking at him with disdain reluctantly blended seamlessly through the shadows of the room. Headed to his mother's room. The other two didn't show much reaction, but they still executed his orders. Unlike the first one, they flew in different directions.
Caleb watched his shadows with satisfaction. 'Shadows are intangible in nature, and they can also move in the shadows. They're also agile. They're really perfect for scouting danger and collecting information.'
