Chapter 414: The Dual Nature of Evolved Beings

A New Duality
As part of his grand vision for the multiverse, Sung Jin-Woo granted the evolved beings the ability to shift between their original non-human forms and their newly evolved semi-human forms. This flexibility allowed them to retain the primal power and instincts of their original forms while also embracing the advanced capabilities of their humanoid evolution.

The Power of Choice
Each being now had the power to choose how they wished to appear, depending on the situation. This transformation wasn't just physical but also symbolic of their adaptability and versatility in the face of an ever-changing world.
1. Primal Form:
In this state, the creatures retained the power, ferocity, and magic inherent in their original forms. Their strength, size, and unique abilities were enhanced, allowing them to become titans on the battlefield. The primal form was perfect for combat situations where sheer force and raw power were necessary.
For example, a Wyvern could transform back into a colossal, winged beast capable of razing cities with its fiery breath. Similarly, a Phoenix could return to its fiery, immortal bird form, burning through enemies with its celestial flames.
2. Humanoid Form:
In their humanoid form, these beings gained intelligence, strategic thinking, and the ability to communicate and cooperate with other humanoid races. Their enhanced intellect allowed them to develop skills in magic, diplomacy, and warfare. This form proved advantageous in leadership, politics, and organization, as well as in navigating complex societal structures.
A Griffin-Human would retain its wings and sharp talons but could now engage in conversations, plan strategies, and lead others with wisdom. A Dragon-Human would wield both powerful dragonfire and advanced tactics, making them formidable leaders in battle.

The Benefits of Duality
This transformation allowed the evolved beings to excel in any situation, granting them flexibility and adaptability. It also unified diverse species across the multiverse, as these beings could interact with other races on both a primal and intellectual level.
1. Social Integration: The ability to shift between forms allowed the evolved beings to integrate better into both human-dominated realms and their own kind's society, without losing their cultural identity.
2. Combat Versatility: On the battlefield, they could seamlessly transition between their primal and humanoid forms to exploit weaknesses in their enemies.
3. Inter-realm Diplomacy: Their humanoid forms made it easier for them to act as ambassadors and peacekeepers, while their primal forms allowed them to intimidate enemies if needed.

Examples of Transformation
1. Beast-Humans (Beast Realm Denizens):
When in Beast Form, they were towering, fur-covered giants, their claws and teeth sharp enough to tear through steel. In Humanoid Form, they were sleek, agile, and highly intelligent, capable of strategic thinking and diplomacy.
The leader of the Beast-Humans, a mighty figure known as Kaelen, would lead his people into battle in his massive, clawed form, but in times of peace, he would take his humanoid shape to negotiate with other races.
2. Dragon-Humans (Dragon Realm Denizens):
A Dragon-Human like Aledron, with enormous wings and scales like impenetrable armor, could transform into a humanoid warrior, retaining his flight capability and magical prowess. In his dragon form, he could fight entire armies, while in humanoid form, he could lead his people and strategize in war councils.
3. Phoenix-Humans:
The Phoenix-Humans, born from the flames of rebirth, could take the form of massive, fiery birds, granting them flight and the ability to heal from almost any wound. In humanoid form, they were healers and protectors, capable of regenerating the bodies of others and offering their guidance to those in need.
4. Kaiju-Humans (Kaiju Realm Denizens):
Kaiju-Humans were giants of unimaginable power, capable of smashing entire cities in their original forms. In their humanoid forms, however, they retained their strength while becoming intelligent, charismatic leaders and defenders of their people, able to broker peace among the lesser races.

A Unified Army of Strength and Intellect
The combination of primal power and humanoid intelligence created a new breed of warriors, leaders, and protectors. Whether in the fields of battle or in the councils of power, these beings brought a balance of strength and wisdom to the multiverse. Their existence embodied Sung Jin-Woo's belief in evolution not just as a physical transformation but as an opportunity to adapt to the needs of the universe, be it in combat or governance.
The Divine Triad and their legions, now joined by these powerful and evolved beings, stood stronger than ever before, a true embodiment of the harmony between strength and intellect.

A Multiverse United in Diversity
With the ability to shift between their primal and humanoid forms, the evolved beings symbolized the unity of all races across the realms. They had transcended their original limitations, becoming part of a greater whole that now stood together in defense of the multiverse. Sung Jin-Woo's divine influence had reshaped the very fabric of reality, creating a universe where diversity was celebrated, and strength was measured not just by power but by wisdom and adaptability.
