Chapter 265 : 265: Synthesize: New Race
Aria was flustered by Bella's bold approach, but she forced herself to maintain an equally composed demeanor. She didn't want to be outdone by Bella.
"Yes, we did it. What's that to you, Succubus?" Aria replied, trying to stay calm.
"Huh? You two did it already?"
Upon hearing Aria's answer, Bella glared at Aengus as if she wanted to shoot daggers with her eyes.
"Aengus, why are you silent? You've already sex with her, while you leave me alone with your doll," she complained fiercely.
"Hey, I am not a doll," the body double Aengus protested vehemently.
"Shut up!" Bella shouted, making the atmosphere tense.
Bianca was already stunned by the unfolding drama.
"I can't believe brother-in-law is becoming like father. Brother-in-law, you're a pervert!" Bianca said, her eyes twinkling with mischievousness. She was thoroughly enjoying the show.
"Hey, what's wrong with that? But tell me, Succubus. Just how did you charm my husband?" Aria demanded, locking eyes with Bella.
Aria knew that if she showed any weakness here, she might lose the chance of becoming the first wife and the big sister of the two. Even though, logically, Bella was older than her.
The two women were in fierce competition, bringing the situation to a boiling point.
Aengus found himself in a tough spot. He realized there was only one option to solve the current problem: to show his wives what he was truly capable of.
Aengus slipped away from their grasps and moved toward his body double, intending to merge with him.
Aengus' clone looked nervous for some reason.
With an iron grip, Aengus seized the other party's hand and pulled his clone inside him in a domineering manner.
"Rumble!"
As soon as they merged, an earthquake erupted, with their standing point as the epicenter.
An overwhelming aura descended, making the air heavy and suffocating with Nether Energy.
Bianca and the demon army felt their hearts beat uncontrollably, sensing a primal fear within as they felt some godly force awakening.
It was so sudden that it caught them off guard.
Sen, Sienna, Butler Yu, the Wolf King and Queen, Gabi, Maru, and a few others instantly recognized the presence in such a state. Their True Lord of the Liberation Army had finally descended.
Bella quickly began to shield Bianca and the others using her own energy. To her surprise, another layer of gentle protection enveloped them on top of hers.
Bella looked at the source in bafflement: it was Aria.
She didn't expect Aria to be so thoughtful. This newfound consideration made Bella see Aria in a new light. She could also sense that Aria's power was not less than her own and might even surpass it.
"So, she wasn't just a decorative flower vase after all,
" Bella thought inwardly.
"Thanks... This idiot never thinks of others while doing this kind of thing," Bella awkwardly expressed her gratitude, glaring at Aengus' back.
"No, he is not. Ethan might have encountered an accident," Aria defended Aengus like an overprotective wife.
"Ah... I was just saying casually..." Bella replied, speechless at Aria's overprotectiveness.
They both then turned their attention to Aengus, who was undergoing a metamorphosis.
Aengus' clone possessed the strength of a Demon Lord, and now those energies were strengthening Aengus' physique even more.

Aengus received the notifications one after another as his strength began to soar to level 410, with over 40,000 stats in each attribute section.
Aengus also gained over 20 new bloodlines after the merge.
He decided to merge all the bloodlines, seizing the opportunity. Synthesizing the bloodlines meant his race was going to change, and he was ready for that to become even stronger.
His greatest challenge would be to retain his human form.
"
MANAS, let's test your new Strength. Merge all the bloodlines using your advanced processing speed,"
Aengus ordered in his mind.
MANAS had leveled up, although not significantly. Her processing speed and abilities had become more effective and powerful.
Once she reached the next level, SSS, perhaps she would unlock even more incredible abilities.
"Alright, Master. I am on it,
" MANAS replied with a grin.
Aengus' consciousness delved deeper within his own body, down to the cellular level, to synthesize the cells at a molecular level and create a new race that would defy natural laws.
The blood cells of different species flowing through his body and DNA structure all needed to be synthesized and changed.
The process began at extreme speed thanks to Manas, slowing down time outside. While only five minutes passed in the outside world, inside it felt like months to complete the process.
Aria and Bella watched with incomprehensible expressions as Aengus's body was enveloped in a cocoon of glowing, multicolored Chaos energy swirling around him.
His two wives were worried, but they knew Aengus was doing something important based on their previous experiences. So they didn't interrupt; instead, they stood guard with vigilance.
In this regard, they both had similar mindsets, creating a mutual understanding between them.
