Building Interstellar Empire With Universal Synthesis

[ Synthesis Initiated: Infinity Shield + Voidium Star Body ]

[ Progress: 1%... 7%... 17%... ]

​At first, Kahn remained completely undeterred, feeling incredibly confident in his legendary Unique Talent.

​However, as soon as the blinding white light erupted from Neo’s palm, the invisible barrier started vibrating intensely. Within moments, the absolute conceptual defense of the Infinity Shield began to visibly melt into a liquid stream of murky, silver energy that flowed directly into Neo’s hand.

​A sudden jolt of primal terror pierced Kahn’s mind. He immediately tried to violently pull himself away, but his body absolutely refused to budge. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

​"Huhu, where are you going, Untouchable Man? Let my darling have a taste of your impenetrable shield."

​He had not even realized that Noir had silently slipped behind him, and deployed multiple dark, ghostly hands from the shadows, gripping his armored limbs with crushing force and locking him completely in place.

He could not budge an inch.

​Unprecedented panic washed over him. His usual haughty, aristocratic confidence shattered instantly, nowhere to be seen.

​He stared into Neo’s dark eyes with firsthand horror.

​"Who are you?! How can you do this?! This should be impossible!" Kahn shrieked in desperation.

​Neo was eerily calm.

​"Impossible is merely a word used by the weak to cope with their own limits. With my power, absolutely anything is possible." he said.

​"Nooooooo! Arghhh!"

​Kahn suddenly howled in mind-shattering agony. Because his Unique Talent was fundamentally bound to the core of his soul, synthesizing the shield meant violently tearing away his very soul while he was still conscious.

​His eyes bulged grotesquely from their sockets as the agonizing pressure built up inside his skull.

Next, from his eyes, nose, and ears, grotesque trails of warm, crimson blood began to ooze out, streaming down his pale, hyperventilating face.

His pristine silver hair to rapidly turn dull gray before rotting and falling from his scalp in bloody clumps.

​[ Progress: 45%... 72%... 89%... ]

​By then Kahn’s agonizing screams devolved into wet, gurgling chokes.

Spontaneously, across his flawless marble-like skin, 1 inch deep jagged fissures split open.

The pressure was so intense that his capillaries continuously burst, painting his tearing muscles and exposed bone in a gruesome coat of dark red.

His physical vessel was completely collapsing, slowly imploding under the excruciating strain of his soul being forcefully excavated from his flesh.

​Every single nerve ending in his body fired simultaneously, delivering a level of pain that defied human comprehension.

It went on until the very last soul essence was mercilessly devoured by Neo’s absolute power.

[ Synthesis Complete: 100% ]

​[ Voidium Star Body (C) upgraded to: Infinite Void-Shield Body (B) ]

​Active Traits (Physique):

​Aegis Domain (Absolute Expansion): Project your internal Infinity Shield outward to create an indestructible, localized dome (up to a 500-meter radius). Anything trapped inside is cut off from the universe, and no external force, curse, or energy can pierce the barrier.

Energy consumption scales with size and duration.

For 500 meters, 300 Cosmic Force Per Second.

​Event Horizon Impact: Channel the absolute conceptual defense of your body directly into a physical strike. By turning an "indestructible shield" into a blunt-force weapon, your physical blows cannot be blocked, parried, or redirected by any known physical matter.

Consumes 500 Cosmic Force.

​Void Assimilation (Upgraded): Actively absorb incoming energy attacks (plasma, cosmic force, hellfire) and convert their kinetic and magical properties into raw nourishment to replenish your own stamina or heal superficial damage.

​Passive Traits:

Soul-Bound Aegis: The structural foundation of the Infinity Shield is now permanently woven into your soul, making your spirit completely untouchable by standard Metahuman or Demonic means.

​Absolute Soul Isolation: Total immunity to soul-reaping, mind control, psychic invasions, and reality-warping curses. Your mind and soul are locked behind an infinite conceptual wall.

​Energy Nullification: All attacks ranked Type 6 or below automatically disperse into harmless static upon making contact with your skin.

​Adaptive Density: Your body automatically hyper-condenses at the exact point of physical impact, neutralizing the kinetic force of any blunt or piercing attack before it can reach your internal organs.

As the system notifications faded from his mind, the residual blinding light receded, sinking directly into Neo’s pores.

​His physical form underwent a rapid, microscopic evolution.

Alongside the Greek God upgrade to hus body, there was that invisible Infinity Shield around his body like protective cocoon.

​Noir’s eyes gleamed. She dismissed her ghostly hands, letting the gruesome, hollowed-out husk of Kahn Rothschild crumple heavily to the metallic floor like a discarded rag.

​She gracefully strode up to Neo, looking smitten.

Leaning in close, she trailed a delicate finger down the center of his chest, feeling the terrifying power just beneath his clothes.

​"Mmm... darling, you feel absolutely indestructible now. It is incredibly intoxicating. It makes me want to eat you badly."

​"Shut up.." He said as his dark eyes drifted down to the bloody, shattered puddle of flesh and high-tech armor lying at their feet. Kahn’s physical vessel had been completely wrecked by the forceful extraction of his soul.

​However, Kahn was still a Type 6 Metahuman and a direct descendant of the Rothschild bloodline. Even entirely devoid of a soul, his refined cells, dense muscle fibers, and residual biological energy were a treasure trove of high-tier cosmic nourishment.

​"Hmm, a Rothschild’s arrogance is utterly worthless. But his Metahuman essence cannot go to waste."

​"Activate Universal Synthesis."

​Buzzzz!

Neo’s palm glowed again, creating a vortex of silvery energy.

Next, he directed the Synthesis vortex upon Kahn’s ruined body like a swarm of ravenous locusts.

As soon as the vortex engulfed it, the heavy alloy combat armor, the shattered bones, the pooling blood, and the dense Metahuman flesh rapidly began to dissolve, breaking down into a thick, glowing crimson mist that continuously streamed directly into Neo’s palm.

​[ Synthesizing Target: Type 6 Metahuman Corpse (Rothschild Bloodline) ]

[ Assimilating pure biological essence and residual cosmic force... ]

[ Success ]

[ Strength +100, Agility+105, Vitality +100, Endurance +90, Reaction Speed +80, Recovery Rate +85 ]

[ Cosmic Force +1,200 ]

The powerup after consuming a single metahuman was incredible.

His raw physical power increased by 20%. More importantly he could steal other’s Unique Talents now.

So what would happen if he synthesize himself with 100? 1000? Or 10,000

Would his skills and abilities also be limitless?
