Peter currently possessed 4 skill points, which was more than enough to cover the cost of upgrading his core talent. After hesitating for only a few seconds, he made his decision. Skill points were a resource meant to be spent; he could always accumulate more by completing the high-stakes missions that inevitably followed his multiversal travels.

The system interface shimmered, displaying his newly ascended status.
Mechanical Limit Breaker (Level: A)
Effect: As a Chosen One selected by Celestial Tech, your hands possess unimaginable magic, capable of bypassing technical barriers and easily creating various large mechanical constructs.
Special Note: Proficiency: 0 / 100,000. Current upgrade requires 4 skill points.
Additional Skill One: Super Intelligence Brain (Level A)
Additional Skill Two: Man-Machine Fusion (Level A)
Unlocking the Quantum Mind
Peter felt the immediate effects of the Super Intelligence Brain. His thoughts moved with the speed of a supercomputer, his mental power now measured at a capacity of 100 Quantum Bits. This upgrade didn't just enhance his calculation speed; it acted as a fortress, rendering him completely immune to any mental manipulation or control skills.
However, it was the second skill—Man-Machine Fusion—that truly captured his attention. It allowed him to unlock 40% of his brain's restricted areas and transform his cellular structure into a quantum superposition state. In this state, he could integrate his consciousness directly with his mechanical creations.
Warning: Please use this skill with caution. If your brain power is exhausted before disengaging, it will lead to the irreversible and complete collapse of your own cells.
Peter's fingers tapped the antique desk at an incredible frequency, a sign of his growing excitement. Standing in the center of the room, he took a deep, calming breath and activated the skill for the first time. The target: his Nanometer Metal Battle Suit.
Buzz!
A faint, deep blue electric light flickered across Peter's skin. He felt a sudden weightlessness as his cells were freed from their biological restrictions, scattering and fusing seamlessly with the nanometal. When he looked in the floor-length mirror, the battle suit was gone. In its place stood a figure with titanium-gray skin that emitted a cold metallic luster—he looked remarkably like Cyborg from the DC Universe.
The Electromagnetic Vision
Through this fusion, Peter gained access to 10% of Deep Blue's core computing power. As he looked out the window, the dark night sky was no longer black. It was a chaotic, brilliant web of energy.
Peter's metallic eyes perceived everything: radio waves, microwaves, ultraviolet rays, and X-rays. By extending his consciousness as an electromagnetic wave, he casually intercepted a news broadcast and a movie clip from the air. Miles away, a young man watching a movie suddenly cursed his lagging internet, unaware that a multiversal traveler had just "glanced" at his data stream.
However, the power came at a cost. His brain power was dropping at a rate of 5 Quantum Bits per minute. At full capacity, he could only maintain this state for 20 minutes. To conserve his strength, Peter terminated the skill. The nanometal emerged from his skin, re-forming into the standard battle suit.
Deconstructing the Predator
The experience had been exhilarating, but more importantly, it had given him the vision he needed to solve his greatest problem: Karn.
Peter retrieved the energy fork he had scavenged from the battlefield—Karn's weapon. He re-entered the fusion state, melting his palm into flowing mercury that spread into the interior of the alien device. He used his cold fusion energy to jump-start the weapon's systems and closed his eyes.
Along the nanometal pathways, he saw it: the core of the weapon was an incredibly complex Transmutation Array.
Scientific Insight: A Transmutation Array is a precise geometric pattern capable of recording and processing vast amounts of data. Even a single nanometer of error in these lines would render the device useless. This array specifically converted the unique life energy of the Morlun Family into a stable, lethal particle beam.
Peter realized that Celestial Tech shared common ground with these arrays. With his foundation in advanced technology and his new ability to observe energy radiation trajectories in real-time, the path was clear.
"If this array can absorb and channel their life energy," Peter whispered, his metallic eyes gleaming, "I can infer the reverse. I can create an Anti-Morlun Battle Suit."
By engineering a reverse Transmutation Array, Peter could build a defense that didn't just resist Karn's life-draining touch, but actively neutralized his very existence.
