Chapter 76: Surprise Merge Result, Three Selected

[ Please select the three units you wish to take outside and own permanently. ]

Lagan first started merging some Mythics.

Half of them unfortunately died in the fight, but he had plenty of Tower Points, so he summoned a bath and started merging.

He wanted to bring back Mythic+ units who were at their max potential with better skills and talents.

Winsmoke was already Mythic+ since he had evolved him. Logan had already decided he would bring him back.

As for the other two, he merged some Mythic units to design units with specific areas of expertise and theme.

One was Earth and Metal themed spacecraft with skills and talents leaning towards protection and defence.

The other was Wind and Lightning themed spacecraft specialising in speed buffs, scouting, and a skirmisher of sorts.

```

[ Cinderlord Heartcraft ]

Name: Winsmoke

Rank: Mythic+

Tier: 4

Level: 40

-- Stats --

HP: 112,000 / 112,000

MP: 112,000 / 112,000

Attack: 940

Speed: 940

Constitution: 1,120

Arcane: 1,120

[ Talents ]

> Fire Manipulation - Full command over open flame, from a single spark to a sustained cooking fire hot enough to render any ingredient down properly.

> Complete Breakdown - A scan that reveals the complete structural detail of anything examined, down to its finest component.

> Spirit of Cook - An innate mastery of preparation and flavor that no amount of raw skill alone could otherwise replicate.

> Cafe Mode - Can reshape a portion of his own hull into a fully functional kitchen and dining space, controllable entirely on his own.

[ Active Skills ]

> Searing Ladle Strike - A fire-infused melee strike delivered through whatever cooking implement is currently in hand.

> Banquet Barrage - Launches a volley of superheated projectiles, each one dense enough to hit like a real weapon.

> Perfect Sear - A precision strike aimed at a weak point revealed by Complete Breakdown, dealing significantly increased damage.

> Slow Braise - Marks a target with a slow-building effect that tenderizes them over time, steadily lowering their defense. If the target falls while still under the effect, the damage detonates outward onto anything else nearby.

[ Passive Skills ]

> Aged to Perfection - The longer he stays active in a single engagement without retreating or resting, the more potent his strikes and dishes both become, up to 100% effectiveness of the original.

> Palate of the Void - Can consume the remains of a defeated enemy to extract useful materials or a temporary buff.

> Warm Hearth Aura - Slowly regenerates HP for any ally resting nearby.

```

The next was the Earth and Metal themed, all weight and permanence, built for one job and one job only. The interesting thing was that this Mythic had his base stats shifted, and Logan didn’t figure out how. It just happened.

The base stats of Tier-4 Mythics were usually 880 in all stats, and an additional 600 points to distribute after reaching level 40, but this defensive unit had a change in its base foundation after the latest merge to make it Mythic+.

```

[ Terravault Sentinel ]

Name: Terry.

Rank: Mythic+

Tier: 4

Level: 40

-- Stats --

HP: 150,000 / 150,000

MP: 102,000 / 102,000

Attack: 700

Speed: 700

Constitution: 1,500

Arcane: 1020

[ Talents ]

> Bulwark Convergence - Can temporarily merge its own defensive field with nearby allied units, forming one combined shield stronger than the sum of its parts.

> Molten Core - An internal heat and pressure system that hardens its own armor further the longer a fight continues.

> Gravemetal Roots - Can anchor itself to any surface, becoming immovable and gaining a significant defense boost while rooted.

> Aegis Transference - Can redirect damage meant for a nearby ally onto itself instead.

[ Active Skills ]

> Bastion Slam - A heavy ground strike that staggers everything caught in the surrounding area.

> Ironwall Barrier - Raises a massive wall of compacted earth and metal on command. Once it breaks, it transforms into metal debris that lingers around for a minute.

> Magnetic Pulse - Draws loose metal debris in from the surrounding area to reinforce its own armor mid-fight. This can also be used on Ironwall Barrier after it is destroyed.

> Seismic Retaliation - After absorbing enough cumulative damage, releases a shockwave counterattack in every direction.

[ Passive Skills ]

> Living Armor - Slowly regenerates lost armor plating over time.

> Unshakeable Foundation - Immune to knockback and forced displacement of any kind.

> Metal Skin Resonance - Damage resistance increases based on the number of allied metal-based units or gear nearby.

```

Then came the second one he designed with a Wind and Lightning theme, built for the exact opposite purpose: speed, scouting, and hitting hard before anyone realized it had already arrived. The same thing happened with this Mythic+ Unit as well.

Its base foundation had a change.

```

[ Stormrunner Wraith ]

Name: Sonic

Rank: Mythic+

Tier: 4

Level: 40

-- Stats --

HP: 70,000 / 70,000

MP: 70,000 / 70,000

Attack: 900

Speed: 1,500

Constitution: 700

Arcane: 700

[ Talents ]

> Tempest Step - Moves at extreme speed while leaving no detectable trace behind, ideal for scouting deep into hostile territory.

> Thunderclap Reflex - Reacts to incoming attacks with an instantaneous repositioning, faster than conscious thought allows.

> Windward Sense - Detection range extends significantly further while actively in motion.

> Chain Current - Lightning arcs from a successful strike into any other nearby enemy, spreading the damage further.

[ Active Skills ]

> Galebound Strike - A piercing thrust that increases Speed by 150% when striking this skill, and for another three seconds afterward.

> Static Discharge - Releases a burst of lightning in every direction from its own position, disrupting skills and magnetising the targets.

> Wind Cutter Barrage - A rapid series of slashing wind blades thrown in quick succession.

> Overcharge Dash - A sudden burst of speed that also grants a temporary 100% Speed boost to any nearby ally caught in its wake.

[ Passive Skills ]

> Storm’s Herald - Grants a minor Speed boost to any ally standing nearby.

> Evasive Instinct - Dodge chance scales directly with its own current Speed stat.

> Charged Momentum - Builds a stacking Speed bonus the longer it stays continuously in motion.

```

Logan looked over all three one more time, satisfied.

’Good enough. Merging Mythics together, when done right, and I guess I also have to will it myself when merging, can have a chance to change its foundation, giving it a more suitable stat distribution according to its specs.

[ Selected Summons To Take Outside. ]

Winsmoke, the Cinderlord Heartcraft (Tier-4/Mythic+). Terry, the Terravault Sentinel (Tier-4/Mythic+). Sonic, Stormrunner Wraith (Tier-4/Mythic+).

As soon as he made his selection, the exit notification arrived, and finally, he exited the game.

Appearing back in his new house’s garden, Logan saw that it was around seven in the evening by looking at the sky.

[Your journey in the Star Hunters match is complete.]

[Overall Score: 132,400.]

Logan eagerly looked at the window panel as the calculations for his Tier Points began.
