"System, oh System, you've really given me a tough one this time!"
"While merging this thing offers infinite benefits, if I fail, I'll turn into a chaotic, disordered monster!"
At this moment, Kytheron was complaining to the System again.
However, this time it wasn't because he was dissatisfied with what came out of the treasure chest, but rather because the item was so powerful that he wasn't confident he could fully control it.
The item that made Kytheron so conflicted naturally came from the treasure chest he received earlier when explaining the origin of the Multiverse to Eternity.
That mission was incredibly easy; he simply told Eternity a story and completed it with ease and joy!
However, the item that emerged from the treasure chest left Kytheron both delighted and alarmed.
Because this time, what appeared from the treasure chest was neither an item nor a certain power, but a terrifying monster: gray-white skin, its entire body covered in sharp bone spurs.
Even with all its life aura sealed, just looking at it sent a chill down Kytheron's spine.
Ancient Doomsday!
That was the monster's name, and it had an extremely deep connection to the Kryptonian Bloodline within Kytheron.
Because this monster was the strongest biological weapon in the Universe, created by the mad Kryptonian scientist Bertron in ancient times.
Bertron originally only wanted to accelerate the natural evolution of Kryptonian genes through genetic experiments, to achieve the insane goal of creating a perfect Kryptonian.
This experiment was cruel and considered taboo; he directly threw a newborn Kryptonian infant into a harsh environment filled with various radiations, and the infant was immediately killed.
Then, he collected the infant's remains, cloned a new individual from its genes, and continued to use various methods to kill it, then cloned it again from the remains, then killed it again, repeating this cycle for decades.
Almost every method in the Universe that could kill him was used, and countless Deaths and endless suffering were deeply etched into his genes.
Eventually, this infant was twisted into a terrifying monster; he slowly overcame Death, becoming an immortal being, no matter how many times he was killed, he would always return to life.
If it were merely immortal, then Ancient Doomsday would not be particularly noteworthy.
What truly made Doomsday the most terrifying biological weapon was his other, even more perverse ability: infinite evolution, or rather, infinite adaptation.
"What doesn't kill me only makes me stronger!"
Doomsday is the best proof of this statement, even more insane than what the saying implies.
Because, even if Doomsday can be killed, he will ultimately return in an even stronger form, and the method that killed him once will no longer work on him.
Just as a Saint Seiya cannot be defeated twice by the same move, neither can Doomsday.
What came out of the treasure chest this time was this monster, and it was the oldest and most terrifying one, far beyond what later clones could ever compare to.
"System, tell me the truth, you want me to devour and merge with this guy, did you already prepare some protective measures for me, to free me from worries?"
After acquiring this ancient treasure, the System actually told Kytheron to devour and merge with it, making Kytheron's heart tremble.
"Ding! No, if the host ultimately fails to merge and becomes an unconscious monster, then the System will search for a more suitable next host."
"Are you even speaking human language?"
"Ding! I'm sorry, I am just an ordinary System, not a human!"
"What if I don't devour this guy?"
To be honest, without absolute confidence, Kytheron really didn't want to devour this thing, even if it might make his future path to advancement unimpeded.
But if he lost himself, what good would all that power be!
After all, the prerequisite for acquiring any power is to control it, not to be controlled by it, otherwise, wouldn't he be like those Dark Phoenixes controlled by the Phoenix Force.
"Ding! This is a test from the System for the host, to see if the host is qualified to continue being bound to the System."
"No way! We've been partners for so many years, even if my growth has been a bit slow, you don't need to question my qualification to have you!"
"Ding! Didn't you always say that you are so weak now because I don't give you good things? Now the opportunity is in front of you; if you are not up to the task, then don't blame me!"
"I didn't expect you to be such a System, taking revenge, this is blatant revenge!"
"I'm going to complain about you to the Multiverse System Supply Center!"
At this moment, although Kytheron was still joking with the System, his heart was actually incredibly solemn.
The power of Ancient Doomsday was right in front of him; who wouldn't want it.
After all, as long as he could completely devour and merge with it, Kytheron would truly have the confidence to challenge those top-tier great gods.
However, devouring this guy was not an easy task; if he was not careful and was Backlash, he might be infected and become a monster that only knew slaughter and destruction.
"I've got it! Since I'm not confident in devouring you directly in your strongest state, then I'll start with your weakened version, at least there will be a gradual process."
Thinking this, Kytheron peeled off a primordial cell from Doomsday's body and created an isolated space to store it.
"Venom!"
With Kytheron's call, Venom, who was diligently reproducing Symbiotes for Kytheron in the Living Abyss, immediately opened a space and appeared before Kytheron.
"My Master, what are your commands!"
At this time, Venom had completely broken free from the physiological limitations of a Symbiote and could exist independently without a host!
"Take me to the Living Abyss; I need you to clone a creature for me."
Hearing Kytheron's words, Venom immediately said, "My Master, please leave such a small matter to me; you don't need to go yourself."
"No, the guy I'm having you clone this time is beyond your current ability to handle."
"Stop talking nonsense, let's go!"
The cloned Doomsday would certainly not be as powerful as the original, but it was also not something the current Venom could handle!
Sensing the strictness in Kytheron's tone, Venom trembled, then hastily opened a dark and deep spatial passage.
Kytheron said nothing, directly striding into it.
There was no light in the Living Abyss, but at Kytheron's current level, he could naturally see everything clearly.
Beneath his feet was an endless expanse of black viscous liquid, just like Venom's main body.
At this moment, Kytheron opened the space containing Doomsday's cell; even without relying on anything, this single cell was still full of violent activity.
Kytheron's current super vision had already reached a microscopic view capable of observing at the molecular level, so he could naturally see the condition of this cell.
Unlike the cells of normal organisms, Doomsday's cells, even when separated from the main body, were still undergoing frantic changes instinctively, with no fixed hereditary traits.
