"So the plan is simple…"

Mammon explained his plan with great detail, showing us the map of the Under Dark Realm below Abyss Surface, and everything we would need to do.

It was simpler than I imagined, and rather doable. We would use everyone's strengths to their advantage and also take advantage of the Recessed he'll be contacting.

Of course, he can't just go there though, that's a lie he's telling them. but the Recessed is so fascinated with Mammon that he won't overthink that fact at all.

Once the discussion was over, Mammon went two more times on the plan so it would get drilled into everyone's heads.

And once that was over, we patiently waited for the time to come. While doing so, I decided to fuse another Skill using my ticket in the meantime, might as well.

This time I checked my available tickets again:

[Cosmic Skill Fusion Ticket (SSS Grade)] x2

[Demonic Skill Fusion Ticket (SS+ Grade)] x1

[Primordial Seas Skill Fusion Ticket (SS+ Grade)] x1

[Vampiric Skill Fusion Ticket (SS+ Grade)] x2

Hmm, the SS Grade Tickets can combine up to 6 Skills, while the SSS Grade up to 7.

Alright, let's save the SSS Grade ones for later, I want to see what I can make with the others.

For now, let's pick the Primordial Seas one, that one seems rather unique.

And then let's pick a bunch of random and rather useless Skills that were once useful when I began my journey over Grand Terra.

Ding!

[You have chosen the Skills: [Acrobatic Maneuvers: Lv10] [Roll: Lv10] [Spike Attack: Lv10] [Explosive Projectile Body: Lv10] [Haste: Lv10] [Dirt Block: Lv10] to combine through the usage of the [Primordial Seas Skill Fusion Ticket (SS+ Grade)]!]

[Skill Fusion has begun!]

FLASH!

All six Skills emerged from my Origin and began to combine together, rotating around one another. At the same time, the ticket exploded into a swirling azure essence similar to the oceans water and engulfing all six skills together.

They were small fragments of Primordial Concepts, but because they were rather average and weak Skills, they weren't as big. However, when combined together, plus the powers of the Ticket.

I was bound to get something really good no matter what!

FLUOSH!

The swirling water-like azure energy swirled together, resembling a bubble of endlessly spiraling oceanic water, the Skills inside slowly melted, combining completely with the bubble and letting their power seep through it.

Over time, the bubble compressed itself, becoming the new Fusion Skill. It shone with a tremendous amount of Primordial azure-colored Aura, even stronger than ever before.

"Oh yes! Come to mommy."

I opened my arms, as the skill quickly dived into my chest, fusing with my body and then reaching the depths of my soul, becoming one with me, like all other Skills.

FLAAASH!

I felt its azure waves bathe my entire body and soul, for a moment, I could see myself submerged in an endless ocean of azure water, that moved across the endless cosmos.

The original Skills powers and effects were all shattered into tiny pieces and used as materials to reforge a brand-new Fusion Skill, much different than its original skills, yet still containing some of its primary functions to a lesser extent.

But I was able to feel it within me, the Skill, it shone brightly, and its powers already began to manifest within my body.

Ding!

[Congratulations! You have successfully fused the following Skills: [Acrobatic Maneuvers: Lv10] [Roll: Lv10] [Spike Attack: Lv10] [Explosive Projectile Body: Lv10] [Haste: Lv10] [Dirt Block: Lv10] using the [Primordial Seas Skill Fusion Ticket (SS+ Grade)]!]

[You have created the Fusion Skill: [Primordial Azure Sea Orichalcum Armament Creation: Lv1/30]!]

[The Fusion Skill has been fully assimilated into your Status. The power of a powerful Primordial Concept now flows through your body and soul.]

[The amount of power the Primordial Concept has given you has been converted into surplus Stats.]

[You gained +250.000 to All Stats (Except Essence, Cosmic Power, and Soul Aether)]

[You gained +100.000 Essence.]

[You gained +50.000 Cosmic Power.]

[You gained +25.000 Soul Aether.]

Oh, it had a peculiar name! So it is to create Armament? How interesting.

"Let's see…"

I decided to activate the Skill to see its effects. The moment I did, an aura of azure colored essence surged around my hands, which went from ethereal to solid and then to liquid, resembling a neon blue liquid metal.

It suddenly gathered in the palm of my hands, manifesting itself into its most primary form, a large metallic ore floating in midair. It constantly exuded this water-like aura from within, and it floated aimlessly.

I could easily control where to send it and shoot it, and it seemed to be incredibly tough, as I tested a lot of my attacks, from Void Magic to Chaos Magic, yet it remained stabilized and only gaining a few bumps.

"This is an incredibly tough material!"

As I celebrated my wonderful new creation, I analyzed its properties even further. It seemed that to create this small piece, I had to spend several million Essence, so it wasn't that cheap.

However, because it is very difficult to be destroyed, it can always remain around me even as it is pushed away, it can always come back.

Another thing, I can imbue it with the effects of Magic, Skills, Runes, Divine Authorities, and Divinities to make it tougher and stronger, and grant it special abilities.

And naturally, I can change its shape, and even more, I discovered it slowly melted into my bare skin and was seamlessly absorbed by my own flesh.

Once absorbed, I could circle it around my body to either reinforce it or enhance it even further. It seemed the metal itself had special properties.

Like, if I wanted, it could fuse with one of my limbs and detach it to send it flying as a metallic limb projectile.

Another property was that it could generate an azure sea aura that enhanced my speed to incredible levels, both thinking speed, attack speed, agility, and even dexterity.

Above that, it could shape into defensive shields of liquid metal that would harden at will, growing incredibly sharp spikes that could cause weakening curses on those that touched them.

And also, I could transform the metal into cubes, very perfect cubes.

Overall, its uses were very varied, and it ended being an incredibly new and useful Skill.

From weapon projectiles to defense, enhancement, and even body regeneration, it could do a lot!

However, its flaw was that after a couple of minutes or hours, it disappears.

I guess that's how it is balanced out.

Now I need to find a way to fix that.

"The Recessed is ready."

Suddenly, Mammon called us.

It was finally time.
