Chapter 357 - Chapter 357: Cosmic Power, The Inner Demon Arrives

The first step of the "Genesis Project" was perfecting the "Chaos Divine Bloodline" serving as the "foundation."

Currently, Cloud's bloodline evolution had reached 90%—just that final 10% away from perfection.

And this last 10% required not ordinary energy, but equally "divine," purest bloodline power.

"Where am I supposed to find that kind of bloodline?" Cloud was troubled.

[System Hint: Host, it's right under your nose. Did you forget you're keeping two genuine Hakkesshu at home?]

Cloud's eyes instantly brightened.

He remembered those two who, after being "recruited," had diligently helped manage his estate while occasionally moonlighting as "bed-warming maids"—Shermie and Goniko!

Shermie possessed the power of "Raging Lightning"—the "Lightning Queen" among the Hakkesshu.

Goniko possessed "Wind Power"—what gamers jokingly called the female version of Goenitz.

Within them flowed the purest divine bloodline belonging to "Gaia's Will"!

"Ahem, System, your suggestion is... perfectly appropriate?" Cloud's face showed an "I understand" smile full of dubious intent.

"For the love and peace of the world, for better protecting everyone, sometimes sacrificing the small self to fulfill the greater self is unavoidable." Cloud righteously found a high-sounding excuse for his "beastly" behavior.

And so, over the next two months...

Cloud, under the pretense of "helping purify the violent factors in your bloodlines so you can better integrate into human society," conducted session after session of deep, "love and dedication"-filled "Great Harmony of Life" activities with Shermie and Goniko.

Shermie—this "Lightning Queen" who usually looked like a ditzy designer but was seductive to her bones—under Cloud's domineering yet gentle "treatment," completely released herself, unreservedly offering her lightning power filled with "electric shock" pleasure.

And Goniko, with half-hearted resistance, ignited the last of Cloud's passion.

When Cloud, after countless "electrotherapy" and "wind therapy" sessions, felt his body nearly drained dry, the heavenly notification finally sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations Host! Through your tireless efforts, your Chaos Divine Bloodline has finally... achieved perfection!]

[Current Divine Evolution: 90% → 100%!!!]

BOOM——!!!!!!

A "chaos" power seemingly from the universe's birth exploded from the deepest part of Cloud's bloodline!

In this moment, his body and soul underwent an earth-shaking, essential "upgrade"!

He was no longer purely "human."

...

After completing the final bloodline evolution, Cloud's "Genesis Project" entered the second phase—using "Orochi's Power" as a framework to reshape all his skills!

He took every technique he'd learned—whether Kusanagi flames, Yagami claws, or NESTS technology—and rewrote them like "program modules" into the new "operating system" of "Orochi's Power"!

Thus began a skill fusion full of "modding" flavor.

Orochi's classic technique—"Dark Particle." Originally, it summoned a black disc capable of shattering space to attack enemies.

Now, in Cloud's hands, it became...

"Dark Particle: Crimson Flame Edition!"

A sun-like fireball constructed of crimson flames, filled with explosive power—tearing through space with ease! Power increased at least tenfold from the original!

"Dark Particle: Azure Flame Edition!"

A netherworld ghostfire of azure flames capable of burning souls!

"Dark Particle: Lightning Edition!"

A ball lightning constructed from Shermie's "Raging Lightning," filled with paralysis and destruction!

"Dark Particle: Space Slice Edition!"

Fused with NESTS technology, transforming the energy ball's interior into countless high-speed rotating spatial blades—upon impact, enemies would be instantly sliced into countless molecules!

And even...

"Dark Particle: Spacetime Stasis Edition!"

Fused with the sliver of time laws comprehended from "Those From the Past," this energy ball could forcibly freeze time in a small area around it! Though only for fractions of a second, in high-level combat, this was already a "BUG"-level ability capable of deciding life and death!

He had turned a simple "Dark Particle" into an art form!

As for ultimate techniques like "Sunlight's Blessing," he preserved them completely.

On one hand, it was the most classic ultimate—Cloud didn't want to mod it, preferring to keep its original flavor. On the other hand, Sunlight's Blessing was too high-level; he temporarily lacked the ability to modify it.

...

Just as Cloud was immersed in the pleasure of this "creation," unable to extricate himself, his power had unknowingly reached a critical point.

His Ultimate Power at 99.99%, after the "Chaos Divine Bloodline" achieved perfection, finally began its final assault toward that legendary "Cosmic Power"!

However, at that very moment, Chin Gentsai's warning echoed like an alarm bell in his mind!

The Inner Demon Tribulation!

He could feel it—as his power surged, an equally powerful negative emotion filled with "destruction," "violence," and "nothingness" began to grow wildly in the depths of his heart.

He wanted to destroy, to wreck, to return everything before him to "nothing"!

That was the purest "Will of Destruction" originating from "Orochi's Origin"!

It was also... his own "inner demon"!
