Just as Kaito's breathing quickened, the card, presenting in a reddish-gold color, slowly rotated, and the answer began to emerge on its front!
—Ding!
Congratulations on drawing an S and EX dual-rank reward! Comprehensive reward rating: SS! (Note: Ability is S-rank, Reader-level judged as EX-rank · Unique)
Obtained: (Comprehensive) SS [Power of the Martial God, Geo Archon Rex Lapis] (Reader-level C6 Player Version)
'Ohhhhh—!!!'
'I hit the jackpot!!'
'Wait!?'
'Damn!? It's actually the player version, not the ability of the original archon Morax himself!?'
'And there's a dual-rank reward?'
'Because two different abilities are packed into one card?'
'Geo Archon Rex Lapis ability is S-rank, Reader-level is EX-rank (Unique)?'
'Why is EX-rank combined with S-rank only SS-rank? Shouldn't it be at least SSS-rank?'
'Wait...'
'Wasn't my Genshin Impact account's Zhongli also topped up to C6?'
Including Raiden Shogun, Kaito went bankrupt to top her up to C6 too, although Qiqi kept spooking him, making her C6 as well.
'Could this Gacha be related to my account!'
'The Multiverse Gacha Merchant, continuously producing Genshin Impact content?'
He carefully looked at the card content and finally understood.
The reward was dual, combined into one.
The first reward was obtaining the ability of the Geo Archon Rex Lapis. The second was modifying his body and appearance, etc., to become the top-tier looks possessed by the readers.
Since the EX-rank Reader-level wasn't an item or ability that enhanced strength, its comprehensive rank dropped this much.
But it was unique!
However, being able to draw the ability of the Martial God · Geo Archon Rex Lapis was exciting for Kaito, even if it was the C6 player version...
He had thought it would be like the original archon Morax, but it turned out to be a weakened version of the Geo Archon.
'Right, this was only an S-rank reward. The original body should be SS-rank like Baal, right?'
In terms of rank classification, after looking at some refreshed content on the Gacha interface, he concluded that after A-rank, each level was like a chasm.
If A-rank was a full-power punch capable of destroying a small town, S-rank was a large city, SS-rank was destroying a country, and SSS-rank was destroying a planet with one punch.
The C6 player version of the Martial God · Geo Archon Rex Lapis's ability being ranked S-rank was actually pretty impressive.

[Do you want to manifest?]
[Note: Manifestation will take 12 hours for transformation (body) and ability integration.]
"12 hours, huh..."
"Baal, I'm going to sleep for 12 hours to integrate the ability. Are you going to sleep with me now or...?"
Kaito looked up and asked Baal, who was still playing against the AI at the computer.
"Huh? Master, you obtained an ability from that mysterious power?"
"Hehe, yes. And I think the happy day of us getting married might not be far off."
"Oh dear..."
Baal panicked.
She thought this was destined to be impossible, but just one day later, was she about to...
Pfft—!
Baal shyly steamed from the top of her head, but she still decided not to disturb Kaito and resolved to guard him while he integrated the ability.
"Alright. I don't know what will happen during this process. My safety is in your hands then."
"Okay, Master."
Returning to the bedroom, Kaito changed into his pajamas and lay down on the bed.
"Manifest!"
Whoosh—!!
A Geo Archon's Gnosis appeared out of thin air, materialized, and integrated into his body. His body began to integrate all the abilities of the Geo Archon Rex Lapis.
Memories of using the abilities also appeared in his mind.
12 hours later...
The sun was high in the sky.
Waking up, Kaito suddenly felt full of energy and also noticed his body had undergone tremendous changes.
Leaving aside the increase in strength, the first thing he saw was that his muscles had become more defined and perfect.
"Master..."
"Wait a bit before I celebrate with you about us getting married."
"???"
Before Baal could respond, Kaito had already gotten up as fast as possible, even stepping so hard he cracked the floor tile.
After he ran to the bathroom, Kaito noticed his eyes had also become golden dragon eyes like Zhongli's.
The ends of his hair also had a gradient color, though it wasn't very noticeable.
He also had some light gold eyeshadow. At first glance, he looked completely like a short-haired version of Zhongli.
As for his physique...
Taking off his top.
'Hiss... subarashii!'
'What is a perfect physique? This is it!'
'Forget that damn golden ratio muscle, explosive power, blah blah blah. Can that be more important than looking good?'
'This is completely looking slim in clothes but showing muscle when undressed. A perfect clothes hanger, a perfect physique!'
'Is this something a human can have? It's the carving of a miraculous power!'
'Even my facial features were more handsome, more charismatic, more charming!'
To be blunt, he was even slightly more handsome than Zhongli!
Pulling down his pants... 'Damn, does it come with this kind of bonus!?'
'Is this the EX-rank Reader-level reward?'
'This clearly shows that readers are this handsome!'
'This EX-rank Reader-level looks, probably all female creatures in the universe would be infatuated, right? Maybe it would even attract males...'
'Wait!'
'This thought was too dangerous. Better not think about it.'
"Ah, it disappeared..."
After a while, he calmed down looking in the mirror. His eyes, eyeshadow, and hair color had all faded.
They only manifested when using abilities; they reverted to normal when not in use.
As for the abilities...
The related skills weren't just what the game showed. He could freely manipulate rock to create various items (Geo constructs).
After all, games ultimately have certain limitations and restrict the expression.
In reality, after obtaining the ability, it was completely as he wished.
For example, when Kaito raised his right hand, a glowing core Geo elemental cube appeared in his palm. Manipulating it, it directly transformed into a rock longspear.
With a thought, it turned into a rock longsword.
He could even connect to the earth, create a throne, or make a large area around him erupt with rock pillars, not just the one or two pillars from the game.
"Oh right, what about my Geo Archon's signature weapon? And the artifact set?"
"Damn, this Gacha didn't give me a weapon! Only the ability!!!"
"Without the original's powerful strength, how can I make the signature weapon!!!"
