There was a massive crimson gold cloud that was causing all Advanced Humans tremendous trouble, their power feeling suppressed and put down as a sense of rising fear began to rise within them like never before.
Major Inu, in the core part of the battle here, could feel it.
Major David, who was further back with Eloise, could feel it!
And the many Peak Meridian Transformation Advanced Humans here did everything with their power to prevent these crimson gold clouds from nearing.
But they felt too pervasive as if they would be here for the next century.
As if they-…!
WAP!
A brilliant light flashed instantly.
And…all the crimson gold clouds that had spilled out of the ancient magic circle that had now closed faded away.
Disappeared!
…!
It was so fast that nobody knew what had just happened…but a single man did.
BOOM!
He felt an explosive force within his body as if he had eaten up multiple Primordial Corrupted Crystals, and the sea of golden energy- the sea of Primordial Energy, began expanding wildly within his body.
At the same time, his Existence Corruption Value began shooting down slowly.
It was actually decreasing…even though he was still actively absorbing the Organic and Inorganic Terrestrial Planetary Body!
…!
His eyes buzzed as he quickly looked at its changes now.
Primordial Energy Source Echelon I (Primordial Corrupted Crystal, Primordial Corrupted Clouds)(91%)- Obtained the qualities of Primordial Energy Generation I, Peak Foundation Physiology I, Accelerated Growth I, and Atavism I
…!
He had devoured all of the expanse of crimson gold clouds at once that he had completed the first Echelon, and he was almost through the second Echelon!
In his body, Meridian popped open like candy as after all the meridians of his organs were awakened, he felt different parts of his body burn with multicolored light as new lines of Meridians opened freely.
And while everyone had a moment of shock at the crimson gold clouds disappearing, he used this time to silently reach multiple Primordial Corrupted Crystals, these massive jutting crystals turning into liquid that was absorbed by him silently, the percentage in front of Primordial Energy Source continuing to scale upwards until…
BOOM!
He felt as if his body crossed another explosive threshold.
"Ah…"
He wanted to scream.
He wanted to yell out!
His body seemed ready to unleash even more Meridians and shine lustrously before everyone’s eyes, but in the next moment…
WUU!
The Meridians on his arms and legs faded.
The Meridians all over his body that were shining radiantly all faded as if they never existed!
The Meridians that began to bloom…never showed themselves.
But Achilles could feel them.
They were still there, and they would always be there.
They were…masked.
His body stopped emitting any waves of light, and even his eyes stopped shining with any waves of light.
The only thing one could see if they really looked deeply into his eyes…were points of purple, green, and gold.
But apart from this, he did not look any different from a normal human being!
And he knew why.
Primordial Energy Source Echelon 2- Obtained the qualities of Primordial Energy Generation II, Peak Foundation Physiology II, Accelerated Growth II, Atavism II, and Primal Energy Control II
…!
Primal Energy Control.
He felt as if he had closed off all pores and access points within his body, leaving his energy to only ever be contained inside of him as there would not be even a shred of loss.
As he saw fit, he could even choose not to show his vibrant Meridians- of which, at this moment, he counted 61!
The average number of awakened Meridians was apparently 50 from the documents of the Lunaris Colony Overseers, but Achilles…already held 61 as he seemed far from done.
He watched as his Existence Corruption Value hit rock bottom with the emergence of a vast golden sea inside of him- a sea that catalyzed and made all others even more active.

His Existence Corruption Value…was no longer rising even though he was still actively assimilating the Organic and Inorganic Terrestrial Planetary Body!
’Primordial Energy…’ His very cells were drunk on it and sought more of it as apart from the literal planet he was assimilating, this seemed to be the most critical assimilation to date.
He closed his eyes and sensed everything while being acutely aware of what his actions had caused!
BOOM!
The body of Ethereal Master Axano smashed to the ground, silver mirrors cascading down as the figure of Lunarian Enforcer Selene floated right before the Avatar of the Ancient Satyr, her gaze cold as dozens of silver mirrors shooting out beams of light erupted around her- their target being a single creature!
A creature who looked around sternly as the Primordial Corrupted Clouds it had conjured were entirely gone, and most of the Primordial Corrupted Crystals were missing.
"The ants from back then…have advanced this much? I know this body may be a tad weak, but how could slaves like you, whose ancestors used to worship my feet, possibly erase my forming domain?"
…!
A chilling smile crept up on his lips as he looked towards Selene and three other Ethereal Physiology Masters who arrived right beside her!
He did not pinpoint just which one among them was responsible for erasing his domain, but this was a non-issue.
At the end of the day, they remained in the same state they were before.
The state of ants!
HUUM!
"Be empowered, my Apostles."
…!
He spoke with a devilish smile as beams of crimson gold light erupted from him and surged into multiple Apostles- one beam smashing into the figure of Axano struggling to get up as after the beam of Empowerment, his aura began to surge tremendously!
Above his head, another illusory star formed as his wings exploded with billowing rings of flames.
As for any Peak Meridian Transformation Apostles hit by the beam of Empowerment, they exploded with an array of Meridians while some directly connected all their Meridians to form an Ethereal Physiology!
It was a shocking testament to the power here as, at the same time, purple Aerial Vessels arrived above that held regal personages from Noblesse, and the golden vessels of the Golden Trading Company also made their appearance.
It was…true chaos all around.
But in the middle of all of this.
"What do we do, Little Fatty?"
Rose had a burning expression as she locked her gaze onto a newly risen Ethereal Physiology Master who was walking towards them.
Achilles was also looking towards her as his eyes showed immense calm.
He could see.
Around Apostle Lotus and the other Apostles being empowered by the Primordial Corrupted Energy of the Ancient Satyr.
He saw that this…was not a true Ethereal Physiology, but simply an unlocking of her potential and forceful elevation of her body’s power by burning said potential!
It was much weaker than genuine Ethereal Physiology.
He could see this!
So he did not fear!
