My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start Chapter 561 - The World's Tier Has Increased

Chapter 561 - The World's Tier Has Increased

The first planetary fortress in the Holy Dragon Kingdom.
Watson stood in mid-air. A thick black mist condensed around his body and rushed into the sky, turning into a death-elemental magic source. Countless skeletons from all directions brought the same dense death aura into the sky.
That process lasted for a few minutes. The death aura that covered the sun began to fade, and the sun returned to its radiant appearance. As the color of the sun returned to normal, the many magic elemental symbols in the sky also disappeared. The death-elemental source vanished from the sky.
At that moment, the sound of a system notification rang in Watson's ears.
[Congratulations, Master, for successfully fusing the ninth magical element. The current world's tier has increased.]
"The world's tier has increased. What does that mean?"
Watson was stunned for a moment, then heard a voice again in his ear.
[The current world's tier has increased from diamond to starlight. Its power is currently at starlight-tier. At the same time, all the creatures in the world will receive an increased basic ability when they are born.]
"How did you absorb my Power of Death and turn it into the world's new ninth magical element?
Also, after I've advanced to starlight-tier, the power of heaven and earth constantly tried to repel me, but that force has disappeared. How did you do it?"
While Watson was thinking, Beta, sitting opposite him, spoke with a panicked expression.
With a wave of his hand, Watson had created a death-elemental magical course, causing the Holy Dragon Kingdom and even the entire world to change along with it. He had witnessed the scene of countless skeletons rising into the sky. He knew that it was something that he could not do even after advancing to the starlight tier. He had let go of the evolution limits and even became the God of Death's amalgamation while Watson was just an ordinary human. How could Watson do something that he could not do?
However, that was fine. The repulsive force of heaven and earth had disappeared. Initially, that force had caused him a great deal of pain. Instead, it had disappeared, and it made him terrified. One would always be scared of the unknown. He did not know how it happened, but he was sure it had something to do with Watson.
"The repulsive force from heaven and earth has disappeared? So, that's what happened."
Watson's eyes flashed, and he reached out to stroke his chin. Combined with the system notification, he understood what increment in the world's tier meant.
The world was only a tiny fragment of ancient times' vast and boundless world. The battle between the gods had shattered that fragment. It was only at the diamond tier, so it could only withstand the power of a diamond-tier elite. Still, since he had fused with the ninth element—the death element—that world had received much more magical support than before. It had become firmer, so it could withstand even greater power.
"Now that the world can already withstand the power of a starlight-tier elite, we won't have any problem even if the gods show up. The Dragon Kings I helped enhance will no longer have to endure the repulsive force. They will ascend eventually."
Watson's heart was filled with joy. Initially, he had used the fusion system to help the Dragon Kings ascend, but they would leave that world within a year. So, he had no choice but to speed up his plans. Things were good then, the world had become stronger, and the Dragon Kings could continue living there. If he could use the fusion system to continue creating more magical sources, that world would very likely return to how it was in ancient times or even surpass it.
The benefits of a rise in the world's tier were shown in an increase in strength and a lowered limit. Anything born after the increment, regardless of whether they had powerful bloodlines or not, would automatically have iron-tier strength. If there were enough magic sources, ordinary people could even obtain platinum or diamond-tier strength at birth, possessing talents comparable to the dragons.
"It seems like I need to fuse more magic sources to strengthen the world. That is beneficial to me and everyone else too."
Watson turned his gaze to Beta, his eyes shining. Creating a brand new magic source was not a simple matter. He could not make it out of thin air unless there were excellent materials in front of him, such as Nidhogg, who had consumed so much water from the Spring of Life, and Beta, who had evolved into the God of Death's amalgamation.
Previously, he had treated the assassins sent by the Elven King as enemies that needed to be eliminated. He changed his mind—those people were treasures.
Sensing Watson's gaze, Beta subconsciously shivered, and an intense threat rose in his heart.
"D*mn brat! I'll fight you to my death!"
Knowing that it would be difficult for him to leave that day, Beta gritted his teeth, and his body began to expand. The kings' souls were all burning at the time, and the powerful force caused his body to expand like air.
"Not good. That guy is going to self-destruct."
Many people who saw Beta's actions exclaimed.
Beta was a starlight-tier elite, comparable to a god. They could only imagine the destruction if he were to destroy himself. The force might destroy the planetary fortress and any nearby area too.
The people were a little panicked. At that moment, Watson reached out his hand toward Beta, who was about to self-destruct. "Fusion system, activate."
Beta, who had already expanded to a few hundred meters, turned into a ray of light. The souls of the dead emerged out of his body and turned into powerful energy in mid-air before it disappeared into the sky. Beta, who had lost those souls, immediately shrank, turning from a giant into a typical white-haired elf.
"Long live His Majesty, the Elven King. I have cleared a path for you with my life, and now I will destroy myself. Hmm?"
Raising his hands high, Beta shouted excitedly. Halfway through his words, he felt like something was wrong. He lowered his head to look at his body and was stunned. The powers of the departed souls had disappeared, and even the Power of Death that he possessed had lessened. Watson had fused that power with the death-elemental magic source.
"After killing more than a thousand planetary fortress soldiers, I should not let you die so easily. Since you've brought me benefits, I've decided to give you a decent death! Goodbye, Elven Lord."
Watson, who had cast the fusion system, extended his finger toward Beta and flicked it lightly. A dense death aura gushed from his finger, turning into a long dragon in mid-air that instantly washed over Beta's body. There were not even any dregs left of him.
The world had turned black and white. The aura of death released by Watson was not weaker than the End of All Things spell that Beta had used. Under that powerful force, Beta's body gradually collapsed. He opened his mouth, but he could not make a sound. In the end, he disappeared from the spot with panic in his eyes.
"That is impossible. Beta has already completely unlocked the limits of evolution. Why did he lose? Furthermore, he did not even have the ability to fight back. How strong was Watson?"
In the planetary fortress, Delta stared blankly at the sky. Beta, who had been killed by the Power of Death, could not be resurrected, even with the protection of the Spring of Life.
Beta, who had been proud and mighty just moments before, had been easily killed in front of Watson. That made her feel like she was dreaming.
"It seems like I was right. Watson's power is much stronger than yours. Evolution is ultimately no match for fusion! You understand what I said, right? What do you think? Do you agree with my suggestion?"
King Landhar III sighed. Seeing that the elves were unmoved, he said, "Without my help, you would not even be able to withstand a single blow from Watson, just like that elf called Beta."
"Hmm, Beta killed at least a thousand dragons, but he lost to Watson after the great battle? How is that considered weak?" one of the elves said.
"Planetary Fortress Army, resurrect."
Just as the elf retorted, Watson's voice suddenly came from the sky. Watson patted his chest, and the silhouette of a chess piece that was sparkling with starlight appeared. Various giant dragons that were already dead appeared in mid-air, their bodies transforming back into their original form.
"That—"
The elf who had just spoken was utterly dumbfounded. The dead dragons were alive again. Furthermore, those dragons seemed to have been transformed from humans.
King Landhar III shook his head. "How foolish. Even at this point, you still can't let go of your pitiful self-esteem.. Watson is much more powerful than you can imagine."
