Xiao's figure reappeared in the Da Luo Arena.
As the eight Da Luo fragments merged perfectly, the giant sun slowly descended and eventually fused with Xiao's soul.
Not only that, but all of Shaw's abilities were integrated into Xiao's body.
However, when it came to the Blood Clan bloodline, Xiao unhesitatingly rejected it.
The Blood Clan bloodline was useless to him and riddled with fatal flaws. If he integrated such an obviously inferior bloodline, he would only be creating trouble for himself.
Thus, the Blood Clan bloodline was mercilessly cast into the depths of the Cyber Dimension.
Infinite negative energy instantly wrapped around it, eventually condensing into a pitch-black Digital Egg, which fell into the beautiful, paradise-like Digital World.
Although he discarded the Blood Clan bloodline, Shaw's magic and other skills were retained.
Even though these abilities originally required Blood Clan magic to cast, for Xiao—who possessed Cyber Aura—simulating a new form of energy was effortless.
After all, he had devoured so many vampires. If he still could not utilize Blood Clan power, then the Cyber power he had painstakingly created would truly be meaningless.
Next came Shaw's memories, experiences, and accumulated knowledge.
These were the most valuable treasures in Xiao's eyes.
Shaw understood genuine occult magic—true mystical knowledge.
Unlike Xiao's Cyber Cultivation, which appeared mysterious but was fundamentally scientific.
As Xiao absorbed these memories, his expression gradually became strange.
It turned out that the worlds controlled by Shaw included not only the mysterious Blood Clan World—with Dracula and the Temple of Light—but also a medieval world shrouded in mist.
Xiao had always assumed that the myriad worlds were limited to those born from familiar human fantasies.
He never expected there to be so many unknown worlds beyond his awareness.
Facing two completely unfamiliar domains, Xiao could not help but feel the pressure.
The unknown meant no strategy.
And no strategy meant danger.
Fortunately, not all of Shaw's worlds were unfamiliar.
There were also the John Wick World and the Monster Universe.
Xiao was extremely familiar with the John Wick World.
The protagonist, John Wick, was essentially an otherworldly counterpart to Johnny Silverhand from the Cyberpunk World—a kind of old acquaintance.
The John Wick World revolved around a highly ritualized assassin organization.
Its origins traced back to Hassan, the Old Man of the Mountain, and his descendants.
From that point onward, assassination became systematized.
Over time, the organization expanded, absorbing criminal forces across multiple nations, eventually forming the massive institution known as the High Table.
The High Table's highest decision-making body consisted of twelve leaders, each representing a powerful faction, jointly governing the global underworld of assassins.
The organization operated across numerous industries—financial firms, docks, weapons manufacturing, pharmaceutical research, human resources—while secretly conducting assassination contracts.
Its structure was somewhat similar to Assassin's Creed, but without the Assassins' idealistic resistance against oppression.
They killed purely for profit.
In the John Wick World, Xiao's counterpart was an assassin of the Hassan bloodline—a direct descendant of the ancient assassin family and the true ruler behind the High Table.
Their assassins could slow perception through adrenaline control, shoot the wings off a flying insect, curve bullets through gun-fu, and use secret elixirs for rapid wound recovery.
To Xiao, such power was negligible.
But among mortals, it was equivalent to the Grim Reaper in the shadows. Anyone targeted was destined to die.
Their family stood as the true behind-the-scenes controller of the world—possessing vast wealth, holding shares in the Continental Hotel, and shaping the rules themselves.
However, what truly fascinated Xiao was not the intense action scenes.
It was the High Table's elaborate rules and rituals.
To his former chuunibyou self, such systems were irresistibly cool.
He could not deny that part of him wanted to visit that world just to experience it firsthand.
As for the Monster Universe—
That was even more familiar territory.
The unfortunate Xiao who transmigrated there had originally been an ordinary person.
But in that world, he was reborn as a super-rich second-generation heir with limitless wealth.
At first, he had been ecstatic, imagining a life of luxury and indulgence.
However, as he adapted to his new reality, he discovered something unsettling.
He was in a Monster Universe.
A world filled with danger and unknown threats.
Humanity stood at a disadvantage.
Titans ruled the natural order.
And Titans were born naturally.
Humans could only rely on technology.
For an ordinary human, such a universe was not kind.
Just as he was coming to terms with this reality, disaster struck.
A male Titan—MUTO—detected him.
Because of the golden finger granted by the DaLuo Dao Fruit, he possessed the ability to communicate telepathically with Titans.
Ironically, this connection allowed MUTO to sense him in return—and hunt him.
Just as he believed death was inevitable, he was suddenly pulled into another space.
There, Shaw ambushed him, killed him, and seized his Da Luo Dao Fruit fragment.
In hindsight, that moment had been extremely dangerous.
If MUTO had killed him and obtained the Da Luo Dao Fruit fragment instead, the consequences would have been catastrophic.
Once the fragment transferred to MUTO, Shaw would have had no chance of reclaiming it.
And since MUTO would eventually die at Godzilla's hands, the fragment would transfer again.
In the Monster Universe, Godzilla is an existence that borders on invincible.
No matter how powerful an opponent becomes, Godzilla evolves in response.
He always surpasses his enemies.
In that universe, Godzilla is the true protagonist.
He receives the same narrative treatment as Ultraman.
Even if Legendary King Ghidorah appeared—
It would likely serve only to unlock Godzilla's final form.
