54: Fusion, omnipotence, servant!

Of course!

Although Li An needed power, he was also very cautious. He understood the fact that the Kryptonian Gene was countered by kryptonite, just as Clark was countered by him.

Therefore, Li An immediately used his consciousness to activate the imprint on the back of his left hand. He was preparing to communicate with Death Paradise through the imprint to ask if there was a solution.

Immediately, Li An transmitted his thoughts to Death Paradise through his consciousness, and then he received several messages.

【Ding! The flaw cannot be compensated for!】

【Hint: The Contractor currently holds the Talent Ability Awakening Authority. You can activate the Talent Authority immediately upon using the Source of Krypton. The birth of a Talent stems from various factors such as physique, genes, and soul. Awakening a Talent while purifying genes has a certain probability of awakening an unknown Talent.】

【Attention!!! This plan carries a certain degree of danger, please choose carefully.】

Li An did not expect that he had only asked Death Paradise one question, but while it told him the result, it also provided him with a new plan, and this plan could be completed with the things he currently possessed.

Of course!

This plan had a certain degree of danger, but Li An directly ignored this point, only glancing at it before paying no more attention.

In Li An's opinion, Death Paradise's last sentence was actually more like an instigation. After all, this was Death Paradise; would it kindly remind a Contractor to be aware of danger?

This was truly a bit upside down!

After getting the answer he wanted, Li An first put this matter aside, then he continued to check other rewards.

This time he obtained multiple abilities, including Energy Field, Biology and Technology Specialization, Combat Expertise, All Weapon Specialization, and many other abilities.

However, Li An also discovered a problem: the newly acquired Combat Expertise conflicted with the Combat Mastery he already possessed. These two abilities originally belonged to the same category in terms of rules, but at that time, being in the mission world, he had no way to resolve this, so he could only wait until now.

And now was the time to solve this problem. He immediately communicated with Death Paradise again through the imprint and transmitted the problem.

【Hint: The Contractor's current imprint level is Lv.3, which can provide imprint authority to enable the Primary Ability Fusion function!】

【Attention! Imprint Authority can provide powerful auxiliary functions for the Contractor. Please strive to improve the Contractor's imprint authority level.】

As Li An posed his question, Death Paradise quickly gave him a reply, and upon seeing Death Paradise's reply, Li An's face immediately lit up with joy.

Very good! His problem was just solved.

What Li An didn't expect was that the Imprint Authority would manifest in this way, actually being able to fuse abilities!

Thinking of this, Li An did not waste time. He directly controlled his consciousness to communicate with the imprint. At this moment, with a slight movement of his mind, the Imprint Authority was immediately activated, and then a prompt sounded in Li An's ear.

【Ding! Please select the abilities to be fused.】

【Hint: The abilities to be fused must belong to the same type. Fusion of different types of abilities will result in dangerous accidents!】

Looking at the two messages that popped up again, Li An did not hesitate and directly selected the Combat Mastery and Combat Expertise abilities.

[Passive · Combat Mastery Lv.3: Melee damage increased by 10%, also comes with penetration, heavy strike, and shock effects, no cooldown.]

[Passive · Combat Expertise Lv.12: Melee strength increased by 20%, nerve reflex increased by 5%, and possesses extremely strong learning ability. When fighting a single target, it will also gain an additional temporary all-attribute +1.]

Fusing these two abilities was actually the result of Li An's consideration. He was no longer a newcomer to Death Paradise. In the battles of the mission world, he could vaguely feel the improvement in strength brought by his abilities.

But precisely because of this, he found in battle that two abilities of the same type seemed to only activate the stronger one, while the weaker one would be completely ineffective. For example, in his battle with the Kryptonians, his Combat Expertise was clearly stronger than Combat Mastery after devouring Deathstroke, which led to him being basically unable to trigger the penetration, heavy strike, and shock effects attached to Combat Mastery.

If that was the case, then what did he need this ability for?

So, this planted an idea in Li An's mind at the time: he needed to solve this problem, and now, this problem was finally about to be solved.

【Ding! Confirm fusion!】

【Ability fusion starting...】

After confirming the fusion of abilities was correct once again, two more messages popped up in front of Li An. He didn't pay much attention to them, just waited quietly.

Fusing abilities didn't actually take long. Li An only waited for a few seconds before he felt his body warm up, and then a message popped up in front of him.

【Ding! Fusion successful!】

【Ding! Congratulations on acquiring a new ability, Melee All-rounder Lv.1.】

[Passive · Melee All-rounder Lv.1: Melee attack damage, speed, and defense are each increased by 8%. Additionally, using combination attacks can cause extra combo damage, and it can block and parry attacks whose strength value does not exceed 0.2 times his own. When blocking and parrying are successful, an additional attack damage increase of 5% will be triggered. It also comes with penetration and armor-piercing effects, no cooldown.]

It succeeded!

Looking at the new ability that appeared after the fusion, Li An immediately felt a surge of joy. He had finally resolved another matter.

Phew ~

Only then did Li An finally let out a long sigh of relief. Then, with a thought, a mini version of a treasure chest appeared in his hand.

This was one of the rewards he received after completing the mission.

【Random Treasure Chest: After using this treasure chest, you can open it to get various items such as weapons, props, equipment, paradise coins, and one-time items. Good luck.】

Holding the random treasure chest in his hand, Li An did not hesitate at all and directly chose to open it.

The next second, a emerald green light flashed across Li An's eyes and disappeared. The treasure chest was opened.

【Ding! Congratulations on obtaining a damaged Alchemy Blueprint!】

【Damaged Alchemy Blueprint: A mysterious blueprint lost from the late First Era. After using this blueprint, you will obtain the Alchemy Servant Manufacturing Method (Complete) and undertake unknown karmic ties. Please use with caution!】

After the light disappeared, a scroll suddenly appeared in Li An's hand. This scroll looked incredibly ancient on the surface, filled with traces of time. At the edges of the scroll, there were even numerous scorched marks.

“Do I need to undertake karmic ties?”

“But I don't want to give up on the Alchemy Servant either.”

Looking at the information on the scroll, Li An immediately frowned, but he didn't want to give up the Alchemy Servant blueprint, after all, he had just acquired an ability not long ago.

Biology and Technology Specialization!

And now, the manufacturing method for the Alchemy Servant just provided the best way to try it out!
