Chapter 174: Blood Transfusion

Tommy has finished evolving!

Lukas exclaimed inwardly, his eyes widening like saucers as the notification appeared before him. For a moment, he completely forgot about the Demigod Berserker Trial that had been weighing on his mind.

To someone who had already obtained the legacies of two deity-level beings, the Death God and the Sword God, the inheritance of a Demigod Berserker honestly wasn’t enough to stir much excitement within him. If not for his younger sister, Lukas would never have gone this far for such a legacy.

But Tommy was different.

Tommy wasn’t merely another inheritance.

He was his undead servant.

And every time Lukas witnessed Tommy’s evolution, he couldn’t help but feel that this seemingly ordinary skeleton possessed a terrifying potential that even the legacies of gods couldn’t compare with.

Lukas firmly believed that if Tommy continued evolving at this pace, there would come a day when even the strongest beings in existence would have to look up at his undead servant.

His attention returned to the status window floating before his eyes.

[Evolving Skeleton — Death Knight]

[Grade — Legendary]

[Bloodline — Death God]

[Star Energy Potential — Infinite]

[Innate Skills — Assimilation, Fusion, Sacrifice, Total Synergy]

Lukas’s expression became increasingly serious as he read through every line.

Compared to Tommy’s previous status, this wasn’t merely an improvement.

It was a complete transformation.

This time, Tommy had directly crossed all the minor grades and evolved into a Legendary-grade creature, standing at the absolute apex of the Second Sequence.

The implications of that single change were enormous.

A Legendary-grade creature at the Second Sequence wasn’t something that could be compared with ordinary beings of the same realm. The gap between grades represented an enormous difference in potential, foundation, and future growth.

Yet that wasn’t even the most shocking part.

Lukas’s gaze shifted toward the next line.

Star Energy Potential — Infinite.

His pupils contracted.

"Infinite...?"

Even Lukas couldn’t hide the astonishment in his voice.

He understood just how absurd those words were.

Previously, Tommy’s star energy potential had already been astonishing, but it had still belonged to a category that could theoretically be measured.

Now...

There was no upper limit.

No boundary.

No final number.

Just infinite.

Lukas stared at the status window for several breaths, his thoughts rapidly turning.

He still couldn’t completely understand why Tommy’s potential had undergone such a ridiculous transformation, but there was one possibility that immediately came to mind.

The appearance of the cosmos.

After all, a constellation itself represented an enormous and continuously expanding space. No matter how terrifying the potential of an individual star was, there would always be some kind of limit.

But a cosmos was fundamentally different.

Within a cosmos existed countless stars.

Trillions.

Perhaps even more.

And as the cosmos continued to expand, its potential would naturally expand along with it.

The difference between a single star and an entire cosmos was simply too enormous to compare.

Lukas’s thoughts slowly settled as he continued reading.

Finally, his gaze stopped on the newly added innate skill.

Total Synergy.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

Every time Tommy had undergone an evolution in the past, he had gained an absurdly powerful ability.

His first innate skill, Assimilation, had already been extraordinary.

Then came Fusion.

And later...

Sacrifice.

That ability alone had been so ridiculous that it allowed Tommy to forcibly level up talents at the cost of himself.

Each evolution seemed to bring with it another ability that completely defied common sense.

Now...

Tommy had evolved once again.

And this time, he had gained Total Synergy.

Lukas stared at those three words, a strange anticipation gradually appearing in his eyes.

If the previous abilities had already been this ridiculous...

Just what kind of monster-like effect would this newly awakened skill possess?

When Lukas focused his consciousness on Total Synergy, a stream of information immediately surfaced within his mind.

It was a state of absolute synchronization between an undead servant and its host.

Under this state, the two were no longer completely separate existences. Skills, damage, and even certain forms of energy could be transferred between them almost instantaneously, allowing one to bear what the other would otherwise have been forced to endure.

For example, if Lukas received a fatal attack that he couldn’t possibly evade, he could transfer the entirety of that damage to Tommy.

The consequences of such an ability were terrifying.

An enemy might believe they had landed a certain death blow, only to discover that the damage had mysteriously disappeared from Lukas’s body and reappeared on his undead servant instead.

And this was merely what Lukas could think of at the moment.

As he continued experimenting with the ability, there would undoubtedly be many more applications waiting to be discovered.

Just as Lukas was thinking about this, however, a sudden thought flashed through his mind.

Hmm... wait a minute.

His expression gradually changed.

Could this be possible...?

If Total Synergy truly allowed him and Tommy to share almost everything...

Then what about their bloodlines?

Could the bloodline also be shared?

The moment this possibility appeared in his mind, Lukas’s heartbeat immediately accelerated.

Badum! Badum!

His heart hammered against his chest like a war drum, and his face slowly flushed with excitement.

If that was truly possible...

Lukas didn’t dare continue the thought.

Yet his mind had already gone wild.

One must not forget what kind of bloodline Tommy possessed.

It wasn’t some ordinary bloodline that could be found in a powerful monster.

It was the bloodline of a God.

A level of existence so far beyond ordinary humans that Lukas couldn’t even begin to imagine the true limits of its power.

If he could somehow make the blood of the Death God flow through his own veins...

Then what blood-transfusion expert could possibly rival him?

The more Lukas thought about it, the harder it became to suppress his excitement.

He immediately established a connection with Tommy, sending his thoughts through their strengthened undead bond and asking whether his speculation was possible.

After Tommy’s latest evolution, the connection between them had undergone a profound transformation. What had once been a simple master-servant connection now felt almost like an invisible bridge linking their very existences.

For several breaths, there was no response.

Then...

A hoarse voice suddenly echoed inside Lukas’s mind.

"Indeed... it is possible."

Lukas froze.

His eyes widened.

That voice...

He had never heard it before.

Yet he immediately recognized its owner.

"Tommy..."

His voice trembled slightly.

"You can finally speak...?"

Today had already brought him far too many shocks.

First, Tommy had evolved into a Legendary-grade Death Knight.

Then came the Infinite Star Energy Potential.

Then the ridiculous Total Synergy ability.

And now...

Tommy could actually communicate with him directly.

At this rate, Lukas genuinely wondered how many more surprises this undead skeleton had hidden.

He quickly pushed those thoughts aside and focused on the matter that truly mattered.

Bloodline.

Lukas closed his eyes.

His consciousness sank deep into his body, toward the enormous cosmos that had formed within him.

The moment he prepared himself for the transformation, something inside the cosmos suddenly stirred.

Through the invisible connection linking him and Tommy, a strange fluctuation slowly emerged.

Then...

A single drop appeared.

A bead of pure golden blood floated silently at the very center of Lukas’s cosmos.

It was tiny.

Almost ridiculously tiny.

Yet the moment it appeared, Lukas’s entire body reacted violently.

Boom!

An overwhelming sensation of heat erupted throughout his existence.

It felt as though his entire body had suddenly been ignited from within.

The golden drop of blood radiated an astonishing vitality, a force so dense that even Lukas’s consciousness trembled beneath its presence.

Despite being no larger than a bead...

It contained an almost terrifying life force.

Lukas stared at it.

His breathing gradually became heavier.

A strange excitement appeared within his eyes as he looked at that tiny drop of golden blood.

The blood of a god.

For a moment, Lukas couldn’t help but lick his lips.

The rules of the Demigod Berserker inheritance were extremely strict.

Anyone above the First Sequence was forbidden from entering.

But that restriction only applied to those who had already reached a higher Sequence before entering.

What if...

Someone inside the trial broke through to the Second Sequence after entering?

Lukas’s eyes slowly sharpened.

He already knew what he was going to do.

Since the rules had prevented him from entering the Second Sequence...

Then he would simply break through while he was already inside.

His gaze remained fixed upon the golden drop of divine blood floating within his cosmos.

The corner of his lips slowly curled upward.

He was going to enter the Blood transfusion Realm.

Right here.

Right now...
