Meanwhile, Rory also returned.
Inside the public dungeon, multiple identical-looking Rorys merged together.
Gradually, Rory grew taller, and his body became more muscular.
Finally, he merged into a single man standing over six and a half feet tall.
The people around him recognized who he was.

“Rory, there’s no shame in losing. If you want to blame anyone, blame Joanna for being such a freak p>
“Yeah, Rory, you’re already incredibly strong p>
“Holy crap, you’re usually so small and skinny. You’re actually this tall? This is your true form? Your stats look insane p>
Some of Rory’s classmates had deliberately waited at the dungeon entrance just to comfort him.
Rory rolled his neck, feeling completely whole again.
Soul splitting was excruciatingly painful, and the agony was constant while divided.
If he didn’t want to waste a skill slot, Rory really should have learned a skill to ignore pain. Of course, to ignore soul-splitting pain, the skill would need to be at least SSS-rank.
That was why he hadn’t wanted to give up the department’s first-place position, all for the sake of one extra skill slot.
Unfortunately, he had been outmatched.
He had done the calculations. His credits weren’t enough.
His classmates’ consolation only confirmed it. Nothing unexpected must have happened on Joanna’s end.
But when he opened the rankings, he froze.
How was there a gap of over 40,000?
However, the chatter around him and the PR department’s subsequent announcements soon filled him in on the situation.

So it was the Divine Battlefield.
The reason Joanna had to farm credits with them during finals was because she had spent three months in the Divine Battlefield. Otherwise, with her usual credit-farming pace, when would it ever have been their turn to compete for department first?
Who would have thought that those three months weren’t spent doing interviews? She had gone to save Helen-truly unexpected.
At this moment, only one thought filled Rory’s mind.

At the same time, the professors around the school had finished watching the show. Since today was the last day of classes, everyone was now on break.

Inside the villa community.
Joanna stared at her inbox, where a purple … wig lay waiting.
The tips of the hair occasionally wriggled ever so slightly.
It was creepy as hell.
She extracted it and saw the system prompt.
“You have obtained: Wig of the Evil God Medusa p>
“Medusa’s Wig (Mythic-level Bloodline Power): Upon fusion, you will gain a portion of the evil god’s bloodline power and legacy. Your body will undergo mutations, but your combat strength will increase.

Bloodline power!
This was humanity’s fifth path to increasing combat strength.
The first four were attributes, talents, skills, and gear.

But the second generation saw dramatically increased rates of genetic disorders, personality defects, genetic collapse, and mental illness. The program was quickly shut down.
This was known as the “Hybrid Generational” theory.
Come to think of it, Nighthowl and the other sentinels were very much like those genetically engineered humans who had gained terrifying power through powerful bloodlines, only to ultimately walk the path of mutation.
But without question, possessing bloodline power would increase one’s strength.

And it was a path humanity had to walk.
Meanwhile, among the monster races that frequently clashed with humans, the more intelligent they became, the more they wanted to transform into human form.
Everyone was converging toward the same goal.
Humans becoming monsters, monsters becoming humans, and in the end, everyone wanted to ascend to godhood.
Without hesitation, Joanna began fusing with the bloodline power.
Her hair gradually turned purple.
Her eyes shifted from brown to an inky black, with hints of purple light glimmering within. At the same time, her entire being became more alluring and bewitching.
