nThe monster corpse that MJ integrated was the Lv.24 Hobgoblin Shaman, and the Stats of its 5 main Attributes were sealed so that they could match my Stats in .

nOther than that, MJ was able to use all the Skills and Fire Mastery of the Hobgoblin Shaman except for the Grade-3 Fire Innate Talent that I looted from the dead Hobgoblin Shaman.

nAs a Soul A.I, MJ adjusted to his new body in less than a minute. We returned to the Maze centre, and I had MJ show me all the new Loot in my separately.

nBeing in a monster's body didn't hinder his abilities as a Soul A.I even the least bit as several screens projected in front of me.

nThe first set of notifications was about the Spirit Items that I gained from those monsters.

nAfter a quick glance, I turned my attention towards the Uncommon Grade Weapons of the Tier-2 Monsters.

nMost of them were the weapons they had on them, and only a few were obtained through the System rewards for killing monsters.

nEven with my increased Luck Attribute, I didn't get any Uncommon Spirit Items as rewards from the System other than some Common Grade ones.

nMaybe it was because I already obtained 5 Uncommon Weapons of the Tier-2 Monsters.

nAmong the Common Grade Spirit Items that were used by the Goblins and the Lesser Lizardnoids, there were Maces, One-handed Swords, Bows, Daggers and Plain Tridents and Plain Harpoons and other Armour related Spirit Items.

nI didn't pay much attention towards those Common Grade ones except for the two Spirit Items, and .

nIt was not that they stood out in Stats or abilities but because they were one of the 6 Armour type Spirit Items needed to upgrade the to Uncommon Grade.

nThose 6 types were Helmet, Shoulder Guards, Gauntlets, Tassets, Greaves and Boots.

nAmong them, I got hands-on three types, including my and had to wait until I obtained the other three to upgrade the to Uncommon Grade.

nAfter that, I bonded with and and when I tried to bond with another Spirit Item; I learned that any life form could only bond with 7 Spirit Items at once.

nSo, I unbonded the and formed a bond with .

nThe Stats from the newly bonded Spirit items were added to my at once as I rejected the Safety Mode that was suggested by the System.

nWhen I entered the mode, my body experienced the changes from the increase of Stats in my 5 main Attributes.

nBecause of that, I couldn't even feel any changes when I added those Stats at once.

nWith that, my overall Stats in increased from 215 to 239 and that In turn caused my overall stats in to increase from 645* to 717*.

nMost of the Undistributed Looted Stats I had with me were used up and only 9* of them remained.

nAfter that, I turned my attention towards the notifications of Looted Skills that I haven't merged with yet.

nLv.10(Common): Reduces the pressure under Water by ten-fold and gains the ability to breathe underwater through Skin.

nLv.10(Common): Ability to see clearly deep underwater, within the range of 100 meters.

nLv.10(Common): Dexterity of Fingers increased by ten-fold.

nLv.10(Common): Jaw Strength and Teeth Density increases by ten-fold.

n and were the Innate Skills of the Lizardnoids. Whereas, was the Innate Skills of Goblins.

nAs for the Skill , I looted it from the Tier-1 Wolves but didn't merge with it back then.

nI accepted all of them at once, and with my high Physical Pain Resistance, I didn't worry about pain.

nLv.4 ➝ Lv.10

nDuring the merging process, along with a burning sensation, I felt the changes in my skin, fingers, Eyes and Jaw.

nBut I barely sensed any pain and In less than a minute, the merging process with Looted Skills ended.

nMy Jaw shape became more defined and chiselled. When I bit at empty air, a thud sound resounded within the centre of the maze.

nWith my enhanced Jaw Strength, I felt like I could even bite a Tier-1 monster to its death.

nOther than my jaw, there weren't any external changes in my physical appearance from merging with those Looted Skills.

nAs for my skin, it got tougher and was able to suck the moisture in the air within the Maze Centre with a single breath.

nThe sensation of breathing through skin felt refreshing, like never before. Once I merged with all of my loot, I decided to check out the in the Crystal Lake Water.

nThen I looked at the Innate Talents that I looted from the five Tier-2 Monsters.

nGrade-3 (Elemental Category): Gives Host the ability to comprehend Fire Element and increases the comprehension speed by three-fold.

nGrade-3 (Elemental Category): Gives Host the ability to comprehend Water Element and increases the comprehension speed by three-fold.

nGrade-4 (Weapon Category): Increases the Host's comprehension speed of all Spear related Weapons by four-fold.

nGrade-4 (Weapon Category): Increases the Host's comprehension speed of all Sword related Weapons by four-fold.

nGrade-2 (Variant Category): Host's every action will be precise to a higher degree.

nAmong them, 'Precision' was the Innate Talent I looted from the Lv.14 Variant Hobgoblin Archer and the remaining four were self-explanatory.

nI started merging with all of them at once, including the Grade-3 and Grade-3 that I Looted before.

nThen, my vision started to blur and the view in front of me changed into a familiar unending pitch-black space.

nI looked at myself and couldn't find my body. Almost as if I became the unending pitch-black space itself.

nThen, I heard MJ's voice,

"Master, once again you entered your Spirit Space.

"

n

"According to the information records from my Tier-4 System A.I access, every being that assimilates with the System has a Spirit Space and it is hidden deep in one's inner consciousness. Only by evolving to Tier-4 could anyone find and enter their Spirit Space.

"

n

"But the exceptions were those who have Multiple Innate Talents, as they could enter their Spirit Space after reaching Tier-3.

"

n

"With the Unique Grade Innate Talent , Master can even loot and merge with others Innate Talents and this merging process with Looted Innate Talents allowed Master to once again enter Spirit Space.

"

n

"Master, according to the records of the System, when someone first enters their Spirit Space they would appear in its periphery. So, try moving towards the centre of Spirit Space.

"

nWith that, I got an idea of my situation and as I willed it, I started to move towards the centre and after a minute, I could find something at the centre of the vast pitch-black Spirit Space.

nIt was the same golf ball-sized Orb that I saw previously, and with every passing second, the Orb continued to pulse from one colour to another.

nWith the Orb as the centre, there were 10 circular milky white paths, like the planet's orbits around the Sun.

nI could tell that the golf ball-sized Orb was my Innate Talent .

nThen the merging process started and my attention turned towards the innermost circular orbit, where 6 spheres with each having a different colour formed with the size of a thumb.

nThey started to expand themselves while revolving around the golf ball-sized pulsing Orb.

nI spectated as they continued to increase in size and once their diameter crossed 10 meters, each of those 6 spheres started to drift farther from the first circular orbit to the second one.

nBy the time they reached the second circular orbit, the diameter of every sphere reached 100 meters.

nExcept for the turquoise coloured sphere, which was the Grade-2, the other 5 spheres didn't stop in the second circular orbit and drifted to the third one as a notification appeared within my Spirit Space.

nCongratulations! You have successfully merged with the Grade-2

nFollowing that, the Fire, Water, Wind and Earth Grade-3 Innate Talents stopped drifting any further as they reached the third circular orbit and their size got fixed at a diameter of 1000 meters.

nCongratulations! You have successfully merged with the Grade-3

nCongratulations! You have successfully merged with the Grade-3

nCongratulations! You have successfully merged with the Grade-3

nCongratulations! You have successfully merged with the Grade-3

nThe process continued as the Sword and Spear Innate Talents increased in size as they drifted to a fourth circular object and they finally halted at a diameter of 10,000 meters (10 km).

nCongratulations! You have successfully merged with the Grade-4

nCongratulations! You have successfully merged with the Grade-4

nOnce I merged with all the 6 Looted Innate Talents, the four Elemental Innate Talents stopped revolving in their orbit and started to shake as if they became unstable.

nThen MJ continued,

"Master, this instability is a common occurrence for the individuals with multiple Elemental Innate talents and to deal with that instability, those individuals have to wait until they reach Tier-4.

"

n

"Under normal circumstances, Master has to wait until you reach Tier-4 before forming a stability between the newly merged Innate…..

"

nBefore MJ could even complete his sentence, the golf ball-sized Orb in the centre released an ominous hum and a silver shockwave emerged from it as a centre and collided with the unstable Innate Talents.

nThen, they halted being unstable and contrary to their large sizes, those Innate Talents became docile and started to revolve around the golf ball-sized Orb.

nThe silver shockwave from my Innate Talent contained the same silver-coloured energy that flows on top of me, every time I enter mode.

nThat made me wonder about the mysterious silver-coloured energy and my original Innate Talent that made the Elemental Innate Talents to become obedient.

nThen, I was sent out of my Spirit Space and as I opened eyes in reality, a set of notifications greeted me.

nYour Unique Category Innate Talent formed a synergy between Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth Elements.

nCongratulations! You are the 19th Existence in the Entire Universe to form Synergy between four Elements while just being in Tier-2.

nDue to causing a Universe Level Achievement, You will receive a random grade reward that will be most useful to you at the present moment. The Grade of the reward depends on your Luck Attribute.
