My body changed its form as I saw an endless cloud of darkness and phantasmal essence spreading further around. It quickly started turning deep red and blue, changing between these two dark colors as red demonic energy spread through my veins, at the same time as moonlight essence materialized into the form of a metallic golden balance in my hands, and a sharp, long golden scythe in the other.
My usual humanoid form was gone, as I now stood over five meters tall, my body had become much slender, and covered on black fur, while wearing an Egyptian dress of white, gold, and black colors. My face felt longer, I had the head of a delicate jackal, including the long, pointy ears and the sharp eyes. My fingers became beast-like and large, looking like sharp and deadly claws.
Looking at the reflection in a mirror made of moonlight energy, I had completely changed, becoming something similar to the description of "Anubis" I knew about. I even gained a long, fluffy black tail. I had truly become some sort of Divine Beast Goddess of Death.
And it showed, my very presence filled the entire forge with a cloud of Death, countless souls suddenly surging from them, groaning and roaring, as if ready for anything. With just a thought, hundreds of Undead attempted to crawl out of this endlessly expanding mist, I had to stop them before they were to flood the entire forge.
"How amusing, do you see the potential of Skill Fusion now?" Asked Michael. "I did tell you that once you evolved, the power of the System would increase tremendously, you would gain additional abilities from it. This, is one of them."
"Do the other Players of the Tower don't get this?" I wondered.
"Of course not! Although it might be possible for them to combine Skill sometimes, with special items or the help of Gods." He said. "But nobody can do it as freely as you."
"So this Unique Skill really makes me more unique than I ever imagined, even when compared to the Tower Rankers, and the powerful Gods that live in each World connected to the Tower…" I said.
"Precisely." He nodded. "Now, do you want to combine more Skills? You got a lot more to combine and lots of System Points, I would say to just go ham and get as strong as you can."
"I know you love tempting me with using my system points, but no, not for now." I stopped myself from getting a bit too greedy. "I have obtained a lot of new Skills already; I want to get used to them first. Also this new Fusion Skill feels much more complex than just a transformation. Let me see the description a bit."

[Divine Death Beast Transformation: Guardian Of The Underworld, Anubis: Lv1]
A Divine Skill born from the fusion between the [Gorgon's Transformation] [Abyssal Demon Transformation], and [Divine Moonlight Titan Body] Skills.
Channel the Divine Power of Death within you and combine it with Four Divine Essences, Moonlight, Void, Chaos, and Demon to become a Divine Death Beast, the Guardian of the Underworld, Anubis.
When transformed, your MP, Divine Power, and all four other Energies are constantly drained. Your MP, Magic, Aether, and Divine Power Stats increase by +1000%, while your HP, Attack, Defense, and Agility increases by +500%, with an additional +30% boost with each Skill Level for both buffs. Your appearance will also change, naturally giving you the abilities of a Divine Canine Beast God.
In this form, you will gain access to Unique Divine Abilities, which trigger automatically as you transform, further boosting your powers as both a Necromancer and a Goddess of Death. The power of such Unique Divine Abilities increases by +100% with each Skill Level, and their Energy Requirements decrease by -5% with each Skill Level.

Whenever an Undead dies, it can revive through the fog endlessly. You can use the Souls contained within it to further enchant your Undead as well as your own Stats, temporarily.
[Divine Death Relic: Anubis' Balance and Scythe]: Invoke the materialization of Anubis Divine Powers, summoning a Balance and Scythe. The Balance will judge the souls of your foes, inflicting a variety of debuffs based on their sins and how heavy their souls are. The scythe can ignore all physical armor and deal direct Soul Damage of up to 1000% to a foe, damage and effects of both Relics increase based in Souls you use to enchant them temporarily.
[Abyssal Black Death Void]: Harness the power of Anubis' Darkest powers, combining them with your Mana, Divine Power, and the Four Essences into a powerful Demonic Divine Spell that creates an all-consuming black hole, which can deal up to 2000% damage in a wide area, the more Souls you use to enchant Undead or your Divine Relic, the highest the damage becomes. Cooldown: 1 Minute.
More Abilities will unlock as the Skill Level increases.

"Oh yeah, this is definitely an insane Skill!" I gasped. "Nice!"
I felt accomplished after seeing such an insane ability. And it felt even more rewarding to know it was made out of the Skills I acquired from each of my previous Evolutions. It felt like my powers were finally combing together, as I forged a path I've never thought about before.
"I'll have to test this later against some monsters or something…" I quickly turned back to normal. "I've noticed though, are these Skill Fusions the same as the Skill Merges that happened when I ate those Death Fruits?"
"No, that was related to Skill Evolution, these Skill Fusions are much better, as you can decide what you want to combine. Even if completely unrelated with one another." Michael explained.
"I see… Alright, I'm going for now."
I quickly opened my eyes in the outside world, finding some of my family and friends awake at this hour.
"Look who's awake already." Emeraldine looked at me, who was cuddling at my side.
"Good morning." Lucifer was already up and clothed.
"Hmm…" However, Jonathan was still sleeping, butt-naked right at my left side. "Five more minutes…"
