I am the Clone of a Death Row Inmate

Liquid Life (Tier 5, S-Rank): Allows the user to undergo Liquefaction (either partial or full-body) and freely alter the shape of the liquefied parts.

Impact Cannon (Tier 5, S-Rank): Absorbs and mixes surrounding energy and matter, compresses it within the body, and then releases it. The skill’s power increases with the user’s size.

”The primary goal right now is to use my Disassembly and Assembly Ability to digest these three Tier 5 skills. That way, I won’t have any skills below Tier 6, and I can aim for my seventh evolution,” Su Ze said.

Liou Wenxin nodded, understanding his point.

The priority was to figure out how to digest the three Tier 5 skills, not how to create the most powerful combination.

They could either disassemble the three Tier 5 skills and integrate their components into other skills, or they could help the three skills level up to Tier 6 by combining them or borrowing effects from other abilities.

After Su Ze completed his seventh evolution, there would still be time to disassemble everything again for a more optimal setup.

The Pope and Liou Wenxin began to stare intently at Su Ze’s list of skills, deep in thought. Su Ze, too, was contemplating the most logical course of action.

Gradually, the Pope and Liou Wenxin began to offer suggestions, presenting feasible strategies and ideas.

Their prompts sparked numerous ideas for Su Ze, and a general plan began to form in his mind.

As the three of them continued their discussion, Liou Wenxin often found herself looking at the Pope in astonishment. Many of the ideas he shared and the theoretical knowledge he proposed were concepts she had never encountered before.

Liou Wenxin quietly asked Su Ze, ”Who is he? How does he know so much?”

”A genius evolutionist from the Nian Race. I have him under my control now.” Seeing the thirst for knowledge in her eyes, Su Ze continued, ”You can ask him anything you don’t understand. Don’t hold back. You don’t even have to treat him like a person. Just think of him as a machine, a tool.”

Liou Wenxin nodded happily. ’Advanced evolutionary knowledge from across the cosmos!’ It was a field she had never been exposed to, one that would keep her busy studying for a very long time.

After some consideration, both Liou Wenxin and the Pope shared their opinions.

Liou Wenxin said, ”Your three Tier 5 skills happen to be one Domain Skill, one status-type skill, and one attack skill. They’re basically unrelated to each other, so there’s no point in trying to fuse them together.”

”But because they fall into three completely different categories, it actually presents an opportunity when you look at your other skills. You have fewer Domain Skills, but they’re highly adaptable. Meanwhile, you have plenty of status and attack skills. I think you can easily disassemble these three and integrate them into your other abilities.”

”You could also, however, use your Gravity Domain as a base and integrate effects from other skills to create a single, powerful Domain Skill.”

She had laid out a clear direction: the three Tier 5 skills couldn’t be fused together. They shouldn’t even consider upgrading Liquid Life and Impact Cannon. Instead, they should just be dismantled and integrated into other skills.

Only the Gravity Domain skill, thanks to the inherent adaptability of Domain Skills, was a candidate for being upgraded by integrating other effects.

The Pope considered this for a moment before offering his own thoughts. ”You need to take into account that when you dismantle an effect and integrate it into a new skill, it might change to adapt. By the time you dismantle it again to get it back, the effect might not be what it originally was.”

Su Ze nodded. ”I get it. It’s like lending something out. It might be a perfect fit for you, but after someone else uses it and gives it back, it might not be quite right anymore.”

The Pope paused for a second. ”That’s more or less it. In fact, you don’t have to view this as a temporary adjustment just to get past your seventh evolution. You could think of it as a long-term strategy and keep using this new skill configuration indefinitely.”

”What... Dr. Liou said earlier was correct. Your three skills fall into three distinct categories. You have a significant number of status and attack skills, while your Domain Skills are all-encompassing. Therefore, you could consider eventually merging all the skills within each of those three categories to create three God Skills.”

Su Ze stroked his chin, mulling it over for a moment. Combining their two opinions, he felt the idea had real merit. It was a path worth trying.

The Shepherd King had once told him that when it came to creating God Skills, using Domain Skills as a base was a clever shortcut.

His own Furious Waves was already trending toward becoming a Domain Skill, and Eye of Truth was also highly compatible. He had various other miscellaneous skill effects that he could also try to integrate into a Domain Skill.

He could essentially treat a Domain Skill like a trash can, throwing in all the unwanted components from his other skills.

Evolution from the Extraordinary Stage to the Saint Stage was a process of addition, constantly acquiring new skills. But upon reaching the God Stage, it became a process of subtraction. It was about quality, not quantity.

If this strategy proved viable, he could one day merge all his status-type skills into a single entity and do the same with all his attack skills, forging two God Skills, or perhaps even Ancestral God Skills.

Any leftover scraps from merging those two categories could be tossed into his Domain Skill, which might also produce some interesting results.

In any case, he could give it a try. Even if this path led to a dead end or the results were lackluster, he could always adjust and correct his course.

With his Disassembly and Assembly Ability, he had a much larger margin for error than anyone else.

After some discussion, the three of them had formulated a preliminary plan.
