After he subdued Gandour he sent him out to assist in the war. Then he teleported into his chambers.

Avery appeared Infront of him and knelt. " Welcome back my lord." Ved smiled gently. He could see the weariness on her eyes.

" You've worked hard in my absence, thank you." He reached out with his massive claw and gently touched her head, a drop of his blood was absorbed into her body strengthening her significantly.

" Do not worry, everything will be okay now, I'm here." Tears started streaming down her eyes and she nodded.

Ved could understand her pain, a year ago she lost her father. He died defending one of the cities in South America.

The new leader of the Ravera clan was her brother. He was strong, not as strong as her father but strong in his own right.

Avery caught him up to speed. He was already aware of the general state but her report showed him how bad the situation really was.

Learning of the betrayal of the human race caught him by surprise. She had not informed him of that while he was incubation.

Even now, it appeared she was reluctant to. Avery was smart, she probably figured he wanted cooperation between the two races for some reason.

Two years ago, he learnt from one of her daily ramblings that humans and spiritual beasts were working together to resist the invaders and that gave him hope.

Now that hope was shattered. It's true that Ved wanted peace between the two races but he wasn't going to tolerate betrayal.

" Thank you Avery, you're dismissed, I wish to be by myself for now." Avery bowed and sank into her shadow and disappeared.

First order of business was checking his current self. Ved was huge now, over 50 metres by his estimation.

There were not a lot of differences between his current self and his old self except the pair of black horns on his head.

They were mountain goat horns that came out on both sides of his head and twisted to point forward like spears.

The horns were a result of his Aspect integration trait, he had integrated them on one of his meals from a mere rank 3 giant mountain goat.

The horns had no special ability, they just looked cool or so he thought. Now that he concentrated on them, he could clearly feel their specialty.

They were an incredible conductor of his energies. He could concentrate either his lightning or nuclear energy on them making the attacks much stronger and faster.

Not to mention they were sharp and incredibly hard. After checking his body and determining that he still looked super cool.

' Time to address the elephant in the room'. " That's rude, I'm not an elephant, I'm an artificial soul, a Manas if you may."

Ved was caught by surprise. " Wait you can read my thoughts?" the voice responded in a mocking tone.

" I'm in your soul and you're wondering if I can read your thoughts? I guess we get what we get." She sounded disappointed.

Ved really had no idea how to react to that. "So what exactly are you?" " You're quite slow aren't you? I already told you, I'm an artificial soul of the evolution system."

' Okay rude, I'll ignore that. So what's your purpose exactly? I mean the system had been working just fine, so why show up now?'

" Your soul has reached saturation, before you reached projection realm, your soul wouldn't have been able to withstand my existence so I couldn't reveal myself."

' Why? What would make it so hard to withstand you, you don't really seem that important to me?' " Within me is a vast compendium of knowledge from ancient times.

Even now with your soul having reached such a level, I can't reveal most of the information to you lest it literally corrupt or worse, erase your soul.

You've seen what happened when you merely glimpsed at an illusory dream form of one of the nameless.

Had it not been for the interference of @#£&+&£####+-&, your soul would've crumbled into dust."

" The nameless, who exactly are they?" " They are the first borns of the void, that's all I can tell you for now, you'll know the rest when you're no longer as pathetically weak."

Ved sighed, this new system Manas was really rude, she didn't consider his feelings at all.

Knowing talking to her would just frustrate him he decided to check his status.

' status.'

As soon as he saw his species he couldn't hold back and laughed out loud. His voice boomed beyond the walls of the tower.

His people heard him and they all cheered, news of the lord waking up and in a very good mood spread.

" Finally a true dragon, after a hundred years I've finally become a true dragon. Next on the list, harem of pretty ladies with animal ears. Just kidding, Naledi would kill all of us."

He couldn't help but think about her. ' I have to find a way to check up on her later.' he thought then focused on his new ability.

( Gene Mimic- Host can absorb and integrate the genetic makeup of the species of whatever he consumes.

With the full genetic code, host can transform into that species.

Sub ability 1- Skin Walker: Host can consume an transform into a specific individual, assuming their perfect form.

( Condition- Targets must have full body parts, if not host will transform into an incomplete form.)

Sub ability 2- Mind Eater: Host can read the memories of his targets.

( Condition- Full functioning brain.

Note 1: Ability has the possibility of evolving with host's further evolution.

Note 2: System has determined the ability can be further enhanced using Dream Mist to increase the chances of obtaining full memories.

Drawbacks- Ability consumes a massive amount of mental energy with each second it's kept active, Host is advised to use it as little as he possibly can.)

" Damn, that one broken ability isn't it?" " Sure is, use it wisely though, that warning isn't a joke, the metal strain could cause permanent damage if you're not careful.

Also don't think you can depend on your soul regeneration ability, soul damage is nothing compared to the damage to your spirit."

Ved got quite, he was thinking his soul regeneration ability could take care of it, glad he found out that wasn't possible earlier.

----------------------------------------------------------

At the same time, one of his avatars flew through the air like a bolt of lightning heading straight for the continent of North America.

In North America, White was on one knee with a heavy breath. Her sword glowing with condensed lightning like one of those plasma sci-fi blades lay on the side.

Her shield lay besides her broken. The ground around them was ripped to shreds and her white body was covered in her own blood, her black battle attire looks ragged.

She coughed up a mouthful of blood. Before her stood a group of humans dressed in fancy armour with a sun rising on the horizon on their chests.

They were grinning cruelly at her. " Do you still deny the glory and benevolence of the Dawn lord, beast, are you still not willing to repent and seek forgiveness from the lord?"

The leading man asked with an expressionless face. White was at her wits ends, she would need a miracle to survive this, suddenly she sniffed the air then smiled and giggled.

The leader of the humans looked confused, " What is so amusing little beast, have you gone mad from your sinful ways?"

" No, I'm just thinking about how fucked you all are." " Huh?" They sounded confused, " He's here" she whispered. The moment she said that a wave of white mist covered dozens of kilometres around them.
