Neo currently stood among a pile of Beyonder corpses stored from recent wars and conflicts.
There were approximately a thousand of them. Their ranks while they were alive ranged between Type 8 and Type 6. Type 6 corpses were the fewest and rarest, since those warriors were much stronger.
Nevertheless, today presented another difficult choice for him.
He would have loved to avoid doing this to the dead warriors, even if they were his enemies. But he needed to be strong.
Only by synthesizing them into himself could he become stronger rapidly.
There was no one around him. Just him, and the eerie silence of the dead.
He had to do this.
Without another word, he raised his hand and activated [ Universal Synthesis ].
BUZZ!
Instantly, the same chaotic, radiant white light spread all around him, enveloping all the dead bodies in the room.
One by one, the bodies of the fallen Beyonders began to disintegrate, turning into glowing particles of pure life essence and residual mana.
The particles spun like a violent storm, funneling directly into Neo’s chest.
Immediately, notifications flooded across his retina.
[ Universal Synthesis Activated. ]
[ Target: 1,023 Beyonder Corpses (Type 8 to Type 6). ]
[ Synthesizing... ]
Neo gritted his teeth as a searing, boiling heat flooded his veins. His muscles tore and instantly regenerated, growing infinitely denser. His adamantite infused bones cracked and reshaped themselves to accommodate the terrifying influx of raw power.
[ Strength increased by +50 ]
[ Agility increased by +45 ]
[ Vitality increased by +60 ]
[ Cosmic Force increased by +250 ]
The notifications did not stop. They scrolled endlessly as the corpses continued to turn to dust. The sheer volume of energy was staggering.
[ Strength increased by +120... +300... +550... ]
[ Endurance increased by +150... +320... +480... ]
[ Recovery Rate increased by +200... +400... ]
"Haaah!" Neo let out a primal growl.
The ground beneath his feet completely shattered under the sudden, immense pressure of his expanding aura.
He could feel his very genetic limits breaking apart.
[ Alert! Physical parameters are undergoing a qualitative evolution! ]
[ Strength has crossed the 2,000 threshold! ]
[ Agility has crossed the 2,000 threshold! ]
[ Vitality has crossed the 2,000 threshold! ]
[ Endurance has crossed the 2,000 threshold! ]
[ Reaction Speed has crossed the 2,000 threshold! ]
[ Recovery Rate has crossed the 2,000 threshold! ]
Just as his body adapted to the massive physical enhancements, the glowing storm of particles changed into different frequencies. The unique combat experiences, spells, and techniques of a thousand different warriors were forcefully dragged into his mind.
His brain throbbed violently, but his Supreme Unique Talent seamlessly organized the chaotic memories, converting them into permanent abilities.

Soon, the radiant light finally faded.
The pile of a thousand corpses was completely gone. In their place remained only fine gray ash covering the stone floor.
Neo stood in the center of the room, quiet.
He slowly opened his hus eyes, and took a deep concentrating breath.
He clenched his right fist, and the very air inside the room popped and warped violently under the absolute pressure of his new physical strength.
He did not even need to activate his Cosmic Force.
His base bodily parameters were now terrifying enough to rip a Titan Class warship apart with his bare hands.
"So this is the power of breaking the 2k threshold. It certainly makes me feel invincible... " he chuckled to himself.
"And these new skills..."

"I should synthesize them to higher grades before going into another war."
However, just then—
