There were no astonishing light and shadow effects.
Everything seemed to flow naturally, as Wen Yu smoothly became a brand new eleventh level strongman.
That said, the promotion within the professional system is itself an accumulation from quantitative changes to qualitative changes, and with Wen Yu's foundation, his ascension to the eleventh level was well within expectations.
He lightly moved his body a couple of times, sensing the changes within—it still felt like there weren't any significant alterations...
There was just an added surge of energy—origin power.
The amount of this origin power was not substantial, but it truly belonged solely to Wen Yu. Aside from that, his physical quality and even soul strength saw no improvements.
However, what Wen Yu needed was not an enhancement in physical quality or soul strength.
At this moment, with the addition of origin power, Wen Yu immediately sensed that the vague sense of crisis in his heart dissipated into nothingness—two anchors within Wen Yu completely shattered, and from now on, he would have no ties to the Demon Realm or even Earth!
This was exactly what Wen Yu needed...
Afterward, Wen Yu shifted his gaze to his skills.
However, reaching the eleventh level would not produce new skills...
There was an extra skill slot—this was anticipated. All eleventh level strongmen Wen Yu had seen had eleven skill slots, and of course, he could not escape this norm either.
But this blank skill slot required Wen Yu to find and complete it himself—which was actually more in line with Wen Yu's intentions.
This way, he wouldn't end up with chaotic things like Dark Drift (SS level, active skill).
After briefly sorting out his situation, Wen Yu finally raised his head and quietly walked out of the prison cell.
Outside, several soul pets had also quietly completed their promotions.
...
As Wen Yu stepped out of the prison door, a silver-white light flickered abruptly, attaching itself to Wen Yu's finger.
Wen Yu's expression didn't change; he merely looked down at his right hand.
On his right hand, the one-eyed embodiment of the dog-headed ring was tightening itself around Wen Yu's little finger.
A surging breath was freely spilling out, but the intensity showed no changes—this was merely due to the one-eyed creature just having completed its promotion, unable to contain its excited emotions.
Wen Yu ignored the one-eyed creature's mischief and focused on the tenth skill that had spontaneously emerged from it.
Mechanical Sovereignty (race foundation level, passive skill): This skill was born from the host's unique life form. After acquiring this skill, the host will possess supreme authority over mechanical creations!
Any mechanical creation will voluntarily submit before the host, obeying the king's commands!
A simple skill introduction—yet it did not imply that this skill was truly simple.
After merging with the mechanical nemesis, the essence of the one-eyed creature's life had changed, and the new skill was born based on the one-eyed creature's life form. The so-called Mechanical Sovereignty should be equivalent to a kind of authority, or it could also be described as a virus.
This virus will infect mechanical creations, thereby stripping away the control authority of those mechanical creations.
It sounded somewhat similar to the characteristics of the mechanical nemesis, but it lacked the absorption and transformation process; at critical moments, the one-eyed creature could completely control the enemy's mechanical creations, internally disintegrating the enemy and thus altering the situation in battle.
Though he hadn’t tested the power of this skill, Wen Yu could easily imagine the chaos that could be caused by "turning" enemy battle vehicles, mechs, and Void Battleships.
Moreover...
The silver ring-like one-eyed creature in Wen Yu's hand was, in fact, the one-eyed creature's main body, while its differentiated dog-headed men remained stationed in the Layered Battlefield—since merging with the mechanical nemesis, the one-eyed creature inherited some characteristics of mechanical creations, and its independently differentiated dog-headed men would not be restricted by level restraint.
