“And now! I’ve actually picked up a metal-origin divine body? What the heck! Just what kind of background does this pair of wings have?”
Meng Lei promptly consulted Dodola.
“Eh?”
Dodola’s eyes lit up the moment it saw the metal alloy wings. It said, “Kid, your luck is pretty good! You’ve actually gotten your hands on a treasure like this? Have you ransacked the Titan Empire’s treasury?”
“As expected, I can’t hide anything from you!”
Meng Lei burst into laughter.
Dodola looked at Meng Lei mockingly and remarked, “You’re too bold. To think you dare to even challenge the Titan Spiritual God! Aren’t you afraid that he’ll take revenge on you?”
“If he dares to come, I’ll hammer him to death!”
Meng Lei wasn’t too bothered about the Titan Spiritual God. In any case, he’d already made up his mind—before he became a true god, he would never take a step out of Heaven’s Vault Continent!
When he became a true god, he’d definitely be a Great Perfection-level one. By then, why would he still need to fear the Titan Spiritual God?
“The Titan Spiritual God indeed can’t do anything about you!”
Dodola couldn’t help but laugh. Then, it said, “But don’t you forget that he’s still a pinnacle-level intermediate deity, after all. There are many ways he can deal with you. You’d better take it easy!”
“Don’t worry. I know what to do!”
Meng Lei gave Dodola a smile. Then, he asked, “What exactly is this, though?”
“It’s good stuff! Rare good stuff!” A smiling Dodola said, “Have you heard of the Steel-Winged Angels?”
“The Steel-Winged Angels? Not at all!”
Meng Lei shook his head lightly. “I’ve only heard of Angels and Fallen Angels!”
“Like the Fallen Angels, Steel-Winged Angels are also angels. The difference between the two is that the former is a clan of angels that formed after the members had fallen from grace,” A smiling Dodola said, “While the Steel-Winged Angels are a kind of completely new life form that comes into being when an angel’s bloodline mutates!”
“When their bloodline mutates?”
Meng Lei was mildly taken aback.
“That’s right! When their bloodline mutates!”
“Just like the Hundred-Armed Giants come into being when Titan Gods undergo a bloodline mutation, Steel-Winged Angels are a new lifeform that comes into being when Angels undergo a bloodline mutation!”
Dodola explained, “There are both advantages and disadvantages to bloodline mutations. Some mutations allow one’s lifespan and power to increase sharply while some cause them to fall drastically!”
A curious Meng Lei asked, “And in the case of the Steel-Winged Angels?”
“Like the Hundred-Armed Giants, their mutation is also for the better!”
Dodola glanced at the metal alloy wings. Then, it said, “Apart from their original light-elemental foundation, post-mutation Steel-Winged Angels also gain an additional metal-elemental attribute. Thus, on top of having the Angels’ every talent, ability, and special ability, Steel-Winged Angels also possess an additional metal-elemental talent, ability, and special ability!
“In terms of battle power, Steel-Winged Angels are much more powerful than normal Angels! But unlike the Hundred-Armed Giants, Steel-Winged Angels weren’t expelled by the Angel Gods. Instead, they even became priority targets of grooming!”
Dodola said wistfully, “The Steel-Winged Angels also worked hard to live up to expectations. Although there aren’t many of them, almost every one of them was able to become a higher deity. Additionally, a Great Perfection true god even emerged from among them, greatly boosting the Angel Gods’ combat strength and heritage. Their name resounds greatly in the vast universe!”
“Are the Steel-Winged Angels that monstrous?”
Meng Lei clicked his tongue in wonder. Then, he asked, “Do all Steel-Winged Angels have metal-origin divine bodies?”
“How can that be?”
Dodola promptly shook its head. “Just how rare are origin divine bodies? How can there possibly be clans of them?”
“Is it impossible?”
“Of course! Take the Fairy Goddess, for example. Even though she has a wood-origin divine body, it doesn’t mean that other Fairies would also possess wood-origin divine bodies. As a matter of fact, out of innumerable Fairies in the world, only the Fairy Goddess owns a wood-origin divine body!
“The same goes for the Steel-Winged Angels. A random Steel-Winged Angel may have a metal-origin divine body, but it’s impossible for all of them to have one each!”
“I see!”
Meng Lei couldn’t help but smile. “In that case, my luck has shot through the roof! I picked up a random pair of Steel-Winged Angel wings and immediately bumped into the metal-origin divine body!”
“Metal-origin divine body?”
Dodola looked puzzled. “You can’t be saying that the owner of these wings has a metal-origin divine body, right? What kind of joke is that? How can that be?”
“It’s true, Dodola!”
A smiling Meng Lei said, “The owner of this pair of wings does indeed have a metal-origin divine body!”
“Really?” A doubtful Dodola asked, “How did you know that?”
“I just do!”
Meng Lei gave Dodola a smile. Then, without waiting for Dodola to pursue the matter, he contacted the system at once. “Say no more, system! Assimilate the metal-origin divine body!”
“Ding! Assimilating the metal-origin divine body now!”
Clank!
A golden deluge suddenly surged out of Meng Lei’s mind, instantly spreading throughout his body. It flowed through his limbs and integrated itself into every nook and cranny of his body!
His cells gradually turned a golden color, in turn causing his flesh, blood, bones, organs, and skin to also turn gold. As though someone had cast the metal-elemental first-class spell Ultimate Alchemy on him, Meng Lei gradually turned a golden color!
“What’s going on?”
Dodola was shocked by Meng Lei’s sudden change. It panicked and hastily shouted, “Meng Lei, what’s happening to you?”
Meng Lei paid Dodola no heed. Instead, he shut his eyes and took in the changes happening in his body in detail.
He could feel it—a fierce, torrential
