Chapter 936: Third-form Shifter!

“Third-form!”

Merlin jumped out of the Nourishment Pond. He looked very strange now, and could be called terrifying. Only his upper body and head were of a human’s while all other areas were covered in thick black fur. His claws extended, sharp like blades.

His legs were built with strong muscles and contained a terrifying explosive force. Oddly, Merlin was still standing now but he seemed to have an instinctive habit of lying down.

Now that he had transformed into the Two-headed Pterolycus, an inborn fighting gift appeared in his mind. He could easily use the frightening power despite not being familiar with it.

“Swoosh.”

Merlin braced his legs and his huge figure instantly turned into an afterimage, flashing around the entire laboratory. His speed was incredible. If it were nighttime, one would only feel the movement of air, and be unable to see any shadow.

“How swift!”

Merlin was overjoyed. Although he knew long ago that the greatest characteristic of a Two-headed Pterolycus was its speed, he did not expect it to be so fast that a shadow would not be left behind.

With this speed, even if he could not beat an enemy, he could run away.

It seemed that choosing the Two-headed Pterolycus was not without benefits. This was just the third-form. If he could fully morph and grow two wings, his speed would increase multiple times, and it would be horrifying.

“Not bad. The speed is very quick. As for strength...”

Merlin forcefully swept his claws. A white light flashed, and the laboratory’s wall was directly gouged.

“Crack.”

Merlin’s sharp claws had easily sunk into the hard wall almost effortlessly. Third-form shifting of the Two-headed Pterolycus had now demonstrated its powerful ability.

Now, Merlin had finally had the strength to protect himself.

After all, someone who had inherited an almighty beast bloodline needed at least twenty years to reach the third-form. Even Count Stanwin, who was a genius, only had a breakthrough to the third-form of his Deinosuchus bloodline when he was twenty-six years old.

This was the advantage of Hosts. As long as there was a Nourishment Pool, and as long as one could suppress the almighty beast’s will, one’s strength could be rapidly improved. There was no need to accumulate power for a long time and slowly train to purify the almighty beast bloodline.

Of course, not everyone was as lucky as Merlin. The instability of the almighty beast’s will had always been the greatest problem to Hosts because once their strength improved, and their shapeshifting level increased, the almighty beast’s will would also become stronger and pose a threat to the Host.

However, Merlin did not have to worry about that at all. Even if the Two-headed Pterolycus’ will was a hundred times stronger, it would not pose a threat to him. Therefore, the most unstable factor for Hosts was no trouble for Merlin at all.

Merlin quickly reversed the shapeshifting. He was naked, and he had fair skin and few muscles but it did not mean that he was weak.

On the contrary, it seemed that the Nourishment Pond had not only enhanced the strength of the bloodline and his strength after morphing but it also subtly enhanced Merlin’s physical quality. Now, Merlin’s physical quality was no inferior to a heavy knight’s.

“Merlin.”

Suddenly, Titus’ voice rang in Merlin’s mind. There seemed to be hidden joy in his voice.

Merlin was surprised. Titus usually did not take the initiative to speak. Could it be that there were changes in the Illusory World?

Thus, he immediately immersed his consciousness in his Awareness and saw that his Illusory World was still a general framework and had not recovered much. There did not seem to be any changes.

“Titus, what’s the matter?”

Merlin asked while frowning.

“Merlin, didn’t you feel it? The Illusory World had changed.”

“The Illusory World had changed?”

Merlin felt carefully. It seemed that the Illusory World did not change but he only gave it a cursory glance and did not observe it carefully.

Now, Merlin focused his attention and felt the changes in the Illusory World. As the creator of the Illusory World, Merlin naturally felt the changes quickly.

“It became stable again?”

Merlin was somewhat startled. Previously, his Illusory World continuously expanded while he was still in the Void Zone, and finally expanded to one-tenth the size of the Void Zone. That was already very horrifying.

However, it was only the expansion of the world, and there seemed to be no progress in the stability of the world. Before, Merlin had felt that it was because the natural order in the Illusory World was not strong enough, which caused his Illusory World to be unstable. As long as the natural order of the world was constantly strengthened, the Illusory World would gradually become stable.

The stability of a world was also very important to a Latitude Cosmos. Just like in the Void Zone before, Merlin’s power had grown so strong that even the Void Zone could not destroy him but Merlin was also unable to break the Void Zone, and had to leave it instead.

In the end, the Void Zone took the initiative to “abandon” Merlin. If not for that, Merlin would not have been able to break away from the Void Zone by relying on his own strength.

This was because the Void Zone was too stable.

“Is it because of... The body?”

Merlin’s heart jumped. He had never thought of this possibility. Was the body related to the Illusory World?

In the beginning, when Merlin had accomplished his Illusory World, his body was not essential. Eventually, he had abandoned his body and lived purely as Mind Power. As long as the Illusory World was not destroyed, he would not die.

However, up until the final battle with the will of the Void Zone, Merlin’s Illusory World was never able to turn illusions into reality, and he had never found the reason why.

The Illusory World had a will that was comparable to that of a Latitude Cosmos. However, it had reached one-tenth of the Void Zone but was still unable to turn illusions into reality. It seemed like something was missing.

Merlin never had any ideas. However, now, his mind flashed and he seemed to have grasped something.

The Illusory World was not stable enough and could not rival a Latitude Cosmos at all. Perhaps this was why Merlin had never been able to use the Illusory World to turn illusion into reality.

The stability of the Illusory World seemed to have some connection with the strength of the body but whether that was true or not was still beyond Merlin’s conclusion. He could only slowly observe it.

If there was a connection, then Merlin’s previous practice of abandoning his body was completely wrong. However, this world had given Merlin a chance to use the Illusory World to turn illusion into reality.

“It seems coming to this Almighty Beast World isn’t completely fruitless...”

Merlin felt for the first time that it was not a mistake for him to come to this Latitude Cosmos.
