Solo Leveling: Infinite Talent

BOOM!

The battlefield erupted as the golden warrior and abyssal entity clashed once more. The shockwaves from their attacks sent buildings crumbling, the very air screaming as space itself distorted around them.

Mai braced himself, activating Abyssal Warp (SSS) on instinct. His body flickered, vanishing from his current spot just as an aftershock tore through the ground, leaving behind a jagged scar in the earth.

He reappeared on a nearby rooftop, eyes locked on the battle.

But something felt off.

His copied ability—Divine Spear Mastery (SSS)—was trying to activate on its own. It was as if his body instinctively wanted to move, to fight on equal grounds with these beings.

Ding!

System Notification

[Warning: You have copied abilities from opposing entities!][The system detects conflicting energy signatures within you!][A unique fusion condition has been unlocked.]

Fusion?

Mai clenched his fists. The interference from before was gone, meaning he could merge these abilities now.

But was it worth the risk?

This was the first time he was dealing with abilities that belonged to higher beings. The consequences of fusing them could be unpredictable.

But then—

The abyssal entity turned toward him.

It had noticed.

A thousand twisting shadows shot forward, reaching for Mai like grasping hands, each one humming with abyssal corruption.

No time to hesitate.

Fusion Activated!

[Divine Spear Mastery (SSS) + Abyssal Warp (SSS)][Processing…][Congratulations! You have created a unique ability: Abyssal Radiance (EX)]

EX rank?!

Mai barely had time to process it before his body moved on its own.

His vision blurred—one second he was on the rooftop, the next he was right behind the abyssal entity. His hand extended, and for the first time, he felt something manifest within his grasp.

A weapon.

A spear.

It wasn't purely light, nor was it purely darkness.

It was both.

An abyssal spear of radiance, a paradox of divine and abyssal energy, swirling in perfect harmony.

The abyssal entity reacted instantly, twisting its body to counter—

But it was too slow.

Mai's spear pierced through its form.

A silent explosion of black and gold burst outward, swallowing the battlefield in an instant.

For the first time, a Calamity-Class Entity let out a sound of pain.

The Battlefield Falls Silent

The other abyssal creatures froze.

The golden warrior stopped mid-air, its radiant spear still crackling with divine energy.

Every being present had just witnessed something impossible.

A human—no, something beyond human—had just injured a higher existence.

Mai exhaled, staring at the abyssal creature now writhing in agony, its form struggling to hold itself together. His hand clenched the abyssal-radiant spear tightly, feeling the pulse of power still lingering in his grip.

Then, a new notification appeared.

System Update

[New Achievement Unlocked: Challenger of the Divine and Abyssal][Your existence has been acknowledged by higher beings.][New Paths Have Been Opened.]

Mai's heart pounded.

The war between gods and monsters was far from over.

But now—

He was part of it.
