Chapter 55

[The estimated time for the next modification permission acquisition is: 364 (days), 23 (hours), 59 (minutes), 59 (seconds).]

One year.

It would take an entire year to complete such a modification.

Rocky exhaled lightly, a wry smile tugging at his lips.

"As expected... It's not an easy modification to achieve."

But if it succeeded, the complete development of the Six Gods' abilities would no longer be a mere dream—it would become reality.

The cost of bloodline power consumption didn't concern Rocky in the slightest. With the Eternal Perfect Eye, the notion of depletion no longer existed. No matter how much power it took, he could endure it.

"Confirm!"

The mental command resonated with determination.

A year might seem like a long time, but for the development of the Six Gods, it was an acceptable price. Besides, in the coming months, Rocky's focus would narrow to two primary objectives: locating Razor to confirm the whereabouts of his tribesmen and, subsequently, finding and gathering the scattered Kuruta tribesmen.

The first task seemed straightforward enough. The second, however, presented a monumental challenge.

After all, the world was vast, and finding his lost people was like searching for needles in a boundless haystack.

Rocky opened his eyes and removed his contact lenses.

The next moment, Piro, sitting nearby, abruptly looked up, stunned.

Red.

A dazzling crimson hue ignited in Rocky's eyes, a beauty so profound that it demanded attention.

This was not merely the Scarlet Eyes of legend—it was something more.

The brilliance seemed to envelop the room, each glimmer of red like the burning embers of a celestial fire. For a moment, even Piro, who was a fellow tribesman and no stranger to the beauty of their eyes, could not help but stare in awe.

"Rocky... your Scarlet Eyes... are so beautiful," Piro whispered, his voice trembling with awe.

Rocky paid little mind to Piro's comment. His focus was inward, assessing the surge of power coursing through him.

The instant the Scarlet Eyes activated, it was as though all his abilities exploded outward.

No, not merely 100%.

It was *double*!

Rocky froze in astonishment, his gaze flickering to the bloodline information in his mind.

**[Bloodline Ability: The most perfect of the seven beauties in the world. Provides all-around enhancement. When activated, it increases the power of all Nen systems by 100%.]**

**Amplification.**

The word hung in his thoughts, heavy with significance.

The enhancement was far beyond what he had initially imagined.

As a Conjurer, Rocky's abilities would typically operate at 100% of their potential. With the Scarlet Eyes activated, however, the amplification allowed them to reach 200%.

For other Nen categories—such as Transmutation, Emission, or Enhancement—where he had previously only been able to utilize about 80% of their potential, the amplification now pushed those to 180%.

"This... this is far beyond what I expected."

A smile broke across Rocky's face. The power boost wasn't just impressive—it was extraordinary.

With this, even the daunting task of developing the Six Gods' abilities seemed achievable.

---

Rocky turned his attention to the immediate priority: developing the Ice God, the first of the Six Gods.

This ability would take the form of a Nen Beast. As a Conjurer, Rocky intended to imbue the Nen Beast with the element of ice.

Though Nen Beasts created by Conjurer's were generally controlled remotely, Rocky aimed to make his autonomous. Thanks to his Emitter capabilities—now amplified to 180%—achieving autonomy in his creations seemed well within reach.

He recalled the last seven days, immersing himself in the memory of freezing temperatures, the process of ice formation, and the biting pain of frostbite. Every sensation, every observation, became data feeding into his Nen.

The aura around Rocky began to stir.

Boom!

A sudden burst of air erupted, forming a dense ball of white light that hovered before him.

The light flickered, emitting faint white smoke—the essence of frost.

Piro watched, wide-eyed, as the light shifted and transformed.

Slowly, the white ball began to take shape, elongating and solidifying into a humanoid figure.

Its form was both elegant and mechanical.

Long arms dangled from broad shoulders, the fingers ending in sharp, drill-like tips. The forearms were bulky, resembling iron boxes, while the upper arms were slender, connected by spherical joints.

Its body was thin and angular, its head crowned with a pair of curved horns that jutted upward at an 85-degree angle.

As the white light faded, revealing the icy blue of its crystalline form, mist emanated from its joints.

Two meters tall, its imposing figure radiated lethality.

Piro, still processing what he was seeing, muttered, "Nen... can do this?"

But Rocky wasn't finished.

Another white ball of light emerged.

This time, the resulting beast had massive, crystalline wings sprouting from its back.

A third appeared, bulkier than the others, its structure emphasizing brute strength at the cost of speed.

One by one, the beasts materialized.

By the time Rocky finished, a dozen icy figures surrounded him. The temperature in the room plummeted as frost spread across the ground.

Piro, overwhelmed by the spectacle, sank to the floor.

These beasts were unlike anything he had imagined. Even as someone training in Nen, Piro found himself in awe of Rocky's ingenuity.

Rocky, however, remained focused.

"This is only the beginning," he murmured.

The beasts had form, but their abilities needed refinement. It would take a month, Rocky estimated, to fine-tune their functionality and complete their development.

Once done, he would be ready.

Ready to find Razor.

"Wait for me,Razor. I'm coming for you."
