Beneath the bone-crushing pressure of the Pacific Ocean trench, where light died and heat festered in volcanic vents, Miraluz drifted in a state of quiet meditation.
All around him, his forces rested—predators suspended like shadows, wings tucked, claws sheathed.
The Four Generals had returned to the deep, assuming their silent watch, the females guarded the emerging nests in the shallows above.
But Miraluz... he was evolving.
At the bottom of the ocean, amidst the silence of tectonic thunder, he called forth the spoils of conquest.
The gene points earned through victorious battles.
[Gene Points: 1,100,000]
'It's time for an upgrade.'
Miraluz's voice was calm.
"Let's start with the Main Genes."
His main genes lit up in a symphony of interconnected strands—each representing vital systems: muscles, bones, organs, nerves, wings, tail, and brain.
Miraluz selected "Integrate and Elevate", a complete fusion of overlapping enhancements into one dominant phenotype.
[Ding! Genetic fusion complete.]
[Congratulations! You have unlocked a new racial skill:]
[Colossus – LV1 (0/100,000). When physical strain exceeds standard biological thresholds, it automatically multiplies all physical parameters—hardness, tensile strength, flexibility, energy reserves, and durability—by ×10.]
His body glowed from within.
At the cellular level, mitochondrial generators roared to life.
Bone marrow pulsed with energy.
Titanium-carbon lattices threaded through his skeletal matrix, while diamond-hard keratin reinforced his scales and horns.
Before, he was a steel beast.
Now, he was a walking supermassive diamond storm.
A single blow from his claw could cleave an aircraft carrier.
His tail could uproot coastal defense bunkers.
His fangs could crush depleted uranium shells like sugar cubes.
Miraluz flexed his wings, now extended with energy-veined membranes that crackled faintly even underwater.
They thrummed with enough kinetic potential to launch him from sea to stratosphere in under ten seconds.
"Next, the sub genes."
His body shimmered again.
Abilities once split across subsystems now merged seamlessly:
[Phantom Camouflage + Multispectral Stealth fused ->Spectral Veil LV1 (0/100,000). When active, the user becomes invisible to both eyes and most forms of detection. Body scales bend light and mask presence from heat or energy-based tracking(Effect is disrupted upon direct physical damage.)]
[High-Speed Movement + Millisecond Reflexes + Burst Muscle Fibers have fused -> Kinetic Overdrive – LV1 (0/100,000). The faster the user moves, the harder they hit. With every burst of speed, power stacks higher—until a single strike can shatter mountains. As long as momentum is never broken, their strength keeps growing without limit.]
[Extreme Stealth + Regeneration + Nirvana Rebirth has fused -> Eternal Genesis – LV1 (0/100,000). Grants immunity to aging, disease, and extreme environments. When fatal damage is sustained, revival protocols activate. A final fail-safe triggers upon true death, restoring life from core genetic memory.]
[Growth Rate Acceleration -> Titanic Growth Drive – LV1 (0/100,000). Weight gain capacity: +300 tons per day minimum. Internal systems—including organs, neural pathways, and bone structure—evolve continuously in real time, adapting instantly to support massive physical expansion.]
[Sonic Pulse -> Resonance Charge – LV1 (0/100,000). Unleashes hypersonic shockwaves through reinforced vocal chambers. The blast can level fortified structures, disrupt enemy nervous systems, and trigger explosive firestorms in oxygen-rich environments.]
[Million Volts -> Ion Vortex – LV1 (0/100,000). Discharge spikes reach up to 100 million amps. Generates controllable magnetic fields for EMP blasts, flight stabilization, and disruption of enemy electronics.]
[Nerve Mist -> Miasma – LV1 (0/100,000). Toxin emission capacity increased ×10. Causes total ecological collapse within minutes of exposure, wiping out all organic life in the area.]
And then—

Miraluz opened his eyes.
His cells were brimming with radiant fury.
Every heartbeat was thunderstruck.
The ocean trembled around him, repelled by the sheer kinetic field exuding from his evolved mass.
Invincible.
He swam upward, bursting from the ocean floor in a jetstream of bioluminescent streaks.
The Generals sensed the shift and followed.
Above, the Alliance swarmed into formation—Pterosaurs ready to slice through the sky, aquatic predators streaming around him like pack wolves.
His presence rippled through the ranks.
Gray looked up from her patrol near the surface. Her golden eyes widened in awe.
"You've… changed again," she rumbled, unable to hide the reverence in her tone.
"I have become what this world demands," Miraluz replied calmly.
He turned his gaze toward the horizon.
There, distant but clear, were the warships of humanity.
Their engines burned bright.
Their weapons glinted like teeth.
Their arrogance, once again, stood proud.
"Little humans," he murmured, flexing his wings.
"I hear you plan to hunt me."
His voice cracked the air as he rose from the waves, casting a shadow over miles of ocean.
"Then come. Hunt."
The sea exploded as he surged forward—his massive wings displacing hundreds of tons of water, his body streaking through the sky like a meteorite loosed from hell itself.
Behind him, the Jurassic Alliance roared in unison.
Now, a battle would begin, which would awaken ancient titans.
"Let this storm come even harder."
"No... I am the approaching storm."
