Chapter 350: Upgrades and Gears
[System: Detected multiple mutation organs. Enough to create a System Custom Organ. To make it easier to host, would you like to converge everything?]
[Yes] or [No]
"Yes," he replied quickly
It was a no-brainer; he didn't want his status window cluttered with too many details. Organizing everything was the obvious choice.
[Converging Process Initialized]
[Converging Process Complete]
[System: New Mutation Skills Have Been Created]
>> Elemental Organs [35 %]
>> Rare Organs [20%]
>> Special Organs [15%]
'Nice, this is way cleaner and easier to read,' he nodded in satisfaction as he reviewed the new skill for his mutation
Everything was now more itemized with all elemental-related organs absorbed into single skills. It streamlined his abilities, making them easier to manage and more efficient.
After reading the information on the new skills, he shifted his focus to his points, which had increased dramatically.
'I have this much?' He stared in disbelief at the numbers on his screen. He had been so focused on feeding that he hadn't checked his progress until now, and the numbers caught him by surprise.
Thanks to his soul converter, he also earned additional skill points and attribute points to spend. The skill he had acquired from his encounter with the angel was proving to be really useful, amplifying his gains .
'I'll become even more powerful after this,' he chuckled to himself.
During his fight with Red, he realized that, even though he was the strongest Demon Lord at his level, he still had a lot of room to grow before moving up to the next rank. The battle showed him that he needed more improvements to close the gap and advance.
Without hesitation, he began by boosting his attribute points. As he did, he could feel his body growing stronger and warmer with each increase.
He really enjoyed the feeling of energy and strength surging through him. It was clear why Red became so confident after a big power boost—it was like a drug, both addictive and intoxicating.
But Reign knew that power without proper use was useless. Although he enjoyed the feeling of getting stronger, he made sure not to become complacent. He always kept in mind his motto: there would always be a bigger fish.
Next, he moved on to his skill points, focusing on improving his abilities. With a surplus of points available, he didn't hold back on upgrading the skills he found useful.
Lastly, he turned his attention to the one with the highest number—it had so many zeros that it almost look like a phone number.
His Dark Dust Points were off the charts. Seeing this, he decided to purchase a new seed. His previous one had been broken, and he needed the extra protection.
The new seed would be a vital addition to his arsenal. It wasn't just about having a backup life; the extra layer of protection it provided could be important if he ever faced an opponent powerful enough to deliver a single, lethal blow.
In addition, it was safe to assume that he could need the seed again to breakthrough Demon King—perhaps even more of them this time, knowing full well how greedy his system was.
After securing the seed, he turned his attention to the System Store. It was a feature he rarely used, but with so many points at his disposal, he figured it was worth seeing what it had to offer.
He scanned the Store, quickly skipping over the old stock, and focused on the new items. It was easy to spot them since the system had conveniently tagged each with a bright "New" label.

As he read through the items, he was shocked to find the Adaptive Mutation Core. It was a powerful skill, and it reminded him of a character from his old world who had a similar ability.
That character had become almost impossible to kill because of it.
However, the price of 10 million was insanely high. Even though the core was really valuable, Reign hesitated, wondering if it was really worth the cost.
Not only was the price steep, but compared to Juggernaut's ability, the Adaptive Mutation Core didn't seem all that impressive.
So, he decided to skip it for now and check out the other two items.
First, he looked at the Chimera Blueprint. It worked on a similar concept to the other mutation-related items, but this one only needed a one-time payment..
Although the Chimera Blueprint seemed less useful for his own needs, it could be a perfect fit for Wick.
He wanted his pet to grow stronger, and this blueprint could provide a valuable solution to enhance his abilities. It offered a way to combine various traits into a powerful hybrid form, which could significantly boost Wick's strength and versatility.
The addition of the Mutation Stabilizer and Mutation Reversal Pill were also good choices. They would be useful in case anything went wrong while enhancing his beloved pet at the genetic level.
Unlike Reign, who had the system to support his mutations, other organisms were more likely to experience adverse effects. These items provided a safety net, ensuring that any issues during the enhancement process could be addressed effectively.
Finally, his attention landed on the Symbiotic Armor Suit.
The image showed a sleek, black armor that looked both intimidating and advanced. He felt that this skill was actually quite useful. The armor would significantly enhance his defensive capabilities and boost all his other stats.
Additionally, the suit's design was adjustable, allowing him to modify its appearance as needed.
This versatility could prove invaluable in future battles and situations, making the Symbiotic Armor Suit a strong candidate for his investment.
'I could buy it now, and it would have an immediate effect,' he thought, weighing the pros and cons of getting it.
