"Holy shit!"

His eyes widened as he jumped from his bed.

This was far beyond what he imagined.

It was only a Monthly Reward. Not only did it give him a powerful tool, but it also gave him an extremely useful tool.

’But which abilities should I merge? Can I even merge Spatial Control with my other two abilities, considering their differences?’

’Maybe I can. If I merge my Spatial Control with Shadow Manipulation, I will be able to do things that I can’t even imagine.’

’As for Totem Control, it doesn’t go that well with Spatial Control. Then again, Totem itself is a pocket dimension.’

’So, who knows, I might be able to create a universe by merging these two abilities.’

He thought for a moment and shook his head.

’No, I can’t take this risk. Although I don’t know much about this system, I know one thing. It is random.’

’I get things I didn’t even know existed. I get things I didn’t even ask for. Things that I need but I do not know.’

’Although there is a possibility I can get another card like this, I am not sure when. So, it’s best to combine my currently matched abilities.’

’Totem Creation and Shadow Manipulation! But before this, I need to confirm something.’

He sat cross-legged and closed his eyes. Using his mental energy, he returned to his Totem dimension, where he found Moko, Fang, and Alex.

He looked at them and said.

"I recently got a chance to merge two of my abilities. I believe Totem Creation and Shadow Manipulation are the best choices for me."

"But I just want to know if this is okay with you."

Fang and Moko stared at him with a weird expression that said, ’Can’t we just go out?’

Tyler understood their expressions, and his face turned dark. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

He got so worried about his totems that he forgot he could pull them out.

"Alright then, decrease your size!"

He pointed at Fang and nodded his head at Alex.

Three of them came from his Totem.

He took a deep breath and held the card in his hand, and infused it with his Aura.

The next moment, this card suddenly slapped into his chest and entered his body, merging with the space inside him.

Following this space, it entered his ability crystal, and a bright white light emerged from the crystal.

Tyler found himself confused.

His mind was literally being paused for some reason. He found that some information that he should have known wasn’t accessible anymore.

And, three of the totem creatures that were outside of him turned into white light particles and entered his totem space before he could even react.

Suddenly, he felt a powerful shockwave in his brain.

’Oh shit!’

That was his last thought before he lost consciousness.

..........

Two Days Later;

He opened his eyes and found himself staring at the ceiling.

"What?"

He jerked up in surprise, but the memories started coming in.

From his awakening of Totem Creation, Shadow Manipulation, to merging these two abilities into one.

He found the records of previous skills in his mind, but surprisingly, he couldn’t access them.

But the information wasn’t limited to his previous skill. Instead, it showed him new skills that came from the merging of his two abilities.

His heartbeat shook for a moment as he hurriedly activated his mental energy and entered the totem space.

But when he got there, he was surprised to find nothing had truly changed, not even his totem creatures.

At least, that’s what he saw on the surface. But with the new information constantly entering his brain, he realized the changes.

He got the ability to combine the power of his shadow with the flames of the dragon.

How did that work?

It worked by giving form to his flames, allowing him to turn his flames into structures and tools.

It also had the unique advantage of turning ethereal as shadow. And if he covered his body with this flame, he could fly and move like air.

[First Skill- Shadow Flame]

He also got the ability to call out the shadows of his totem creatures.

[Second Skill- Shadow Summoning]

This skill basically allowed him to use the powers of his shadow while having them fight alongside him.

Although not as same as the real body, these shadow summonings were immortal based on the amount of Aura he had.

And, they inherited the mind and skills of the totem creature.

His third skill was more physically adapted.

[Third Skill- Shadow Armor]

In this form, he would cover himself in a piece of armor made from his shadow. This armor inherited the defenses and strength of the giant ant and the blessing of Alex.

That meant it could not only increase his strength but also recover his stamina, wounds, and even destroyed pieces of armor as long as there was enough Aura.

This made the armor incredibly powerful, but this was more.

[Fourth Skill- Lightning Chain]

From a normal lightning cloak to a construct of lightning that could turn into a chain.

It could also be wrapped around his body to give him an insane boost in strength and speed.

The unique part of this lightning was that it could act like a chain but could be as destructive as a lightning bolt.

Thus, it was one of the most powerful skills in his arsenal.

’Damn! All four of my skills are crazy powerful. I can’t wait to try them.’

But before he could even say anything more, he realized Alex was missing from his totem.

Then, he remembered he had asked Alex to create the proper formation around the city.

"Ace, how long was I unconscious?" Tyler asked.

"Two days, sir!"

"Wow! No wonder I feel so relaxed."

He walked out of his bed, went to the bathroom, and came out wearing a towel. After he wore new clothes, he walked out of his room.

Soon, he reached his office, where Misaka was working from the side table. When she heard the door open, she raised her head.

"Sir!"

When she saw Tyler, her eyes widened as she stood up and bowed her head.

"Did anything happen while I was sleeping?"

Tyler asked while nodding his head as he walked to his seat.

"Alex has finished and activated the Sacred Jewels of Thousand Light Formation. Right now, the entire city is covered with a proper barrier."

"But we quickly realized a problem. To maintain this barrier, we need to use Absorption Stone. The problem is that each stone can only be used for a week for this formation."

Hearing that, Tyler also realized the problem.

"Yeah! Compared to the Golden Light Formation, which requires a very small amount of Natural Energy, this formation would require more."

"Hmm! How many Absorption Stones do we have?"

Misaka shook her head and said.

"We only have eight stones. But we also need to maintain the Golden Light Formation that Alex is trying to improve on."

Hearing that, Tyler raised his eyebrows and asked.

"If Golden Light Formation exists and is being improved, what role does the Sacred Jewels of Thousand Light play?"

"Golden Light Formation only works on spirits. Because of their intangible form, spirits are dangerous."

"So, when you made this city, you only bought this formation, and it was also the cheapest one."

"But Sacred Jewels of Thousand Light can block monsters, spirits, attacks, and can be used for attack and deflection."

"Alex has set Rose as the controller of this formation, believing she is the perfect person to stay in the city."

After Misaka explained, Tyler tapped his finger on the table and said.

"Hmm! He is not wrong. Rose is capable enough to complete this job, but there is one thing I need to understand."

"How durable is this formation? Have you checked it?"

Misaka shook her and said.

"We were waiting for you."

"Then, what are we waiting for? Let’s go and test this formation."

He stood up, and they walked out of the mansion.

While walking in the city, he noticed several flyers. These flyers showed the names of several individuals.

Rose, Misaka, John, Liam, Martin, Jacob, Mira, Tori, and Mansho.

There were already nine individuals who had been promoted to the council in just two days.

But seeing the names of the people close to him at the start of the list, he couldn’t help but frown.

"Misaka, after we test the formation, you can withdraw from this selection. While I do want to change this world, I also respect this world’s rules."

"You are too strong. Your opinion needs to be accepted by those weaker than you."

Hearing that, Misaka asked.

"But sir, wouldn’t go against your own purpose?"

Tyler smiled and said.

"If it were so easy for my wishes to be complete, why would I need to prepare so much?"
