Life Before Becoming an Omniverse Entity-Chapter 85 : Tryvexis
"I don't know," he said flatly.
"Huh? What do you mean you don't know? Didn't you just say it?" Elaris asked, clearly confused.
"I don't know," Renan repeated like a robot, his eyes locked onto hers.

"Ugh," Elaris sighed, feeling frustrated but deciding to let it go. 'I'll just ask him again some other time,' she thought.
"Fine, forget it. Just tell me what you discovered about your race," she said, giving up for now.
"Well, that's what I was about to do," Renan said with a small smirk, his eyes glinting with excitement.
"Anyway, after having closely examined my body from the inside and with the knowledge I have gained, I can say that my body is evolving toward perfection," Renan continued, slowly feeling a growing sense of excitement fill him.
"Perfection?" Elaris echoed his words, raising an eyebrow in curiosity.
"Yes, perfection. My body, after merging the bloodlines of these three, has only picked up the benefits of the bloodlines, not their cons. For example, the dragon bloodline—it was the strongest bloodline I had, but just as it was the strongest, it still had some setbacks that balanced it out. For instance, a dragon needs time to grow, and after their full growth, if they run out of mana, they die. They also can't have more than one child. But all those setbacks were erased the moment it merged with the human bloodline. Now, if I want to grow stronger, rather than waiting for time to pass so I can naturally become stronger, I can become stronger through training.
"For example, as I tell you about the ten stars and circles inside my body, I would only need to unlock them by training or absorbing the mana around me. Opening them would increase my power. And as for how they formed—I think they took the star-circle system that used to exist inside my body as an example and refined it even further.
"Before, humans and dragons could only form nine of them, but I have ten. The last one is located in my heart, if I'm not wrong, the moment I open the final one, something phenomenal will happen and Even the other weaknesses, such as dying after losing all mana and having only one child, were erased completely," Renan explained while looking at Elaris's face. She was nodding up and down as though she completely understood.
"And," he continued, "the fox bloodline, although quite strong, wasn't particularly powerful in combat. But now, after merging with the dragon bloodline, it has become much better. But that's not all. The fox, although not physically strong, has an incredibly powerful spirit, which dragons lack. Now, after merging, the fox's spiritual strength has erased the dragon's weak spirit and formed an immensely strong one—one with all the fox's abilities but combined with the dragon's raw power."
Renan paused for a moment, then spoke again.
"And as for the human bloodline—it didn't have any strong abilities in terms of combat. Humans were weak in both spirit and physique compared to the other two. But," Renan said, "if I were to compare all those bloodlines and determine which one was the most important to me, I would say the human bloodline."
Elaris looked at Renan with a slightly confused expression.
"A balance and adaptation," Renan said firmly.
The moment Renan spoke those words, a glint of understanding shone in Elaris's eyes.
"Humans have an incredible ability to adapt to their surroundings or to the changes in their environment. For example, during the time when dragons and humans first waged war, the humans lost pathetically. Calling it a 'war' would be an overstatement—it was a one-sided massacre. But after losing, they ran to hide. Then, after many years passed, they came back—stronger than ever. When they returned, they were nearly able to defeat the dragon in the war if not for the self-destruction caused by the Great Grandfather dragons would have lost.
"Although humans possess this adaptability, it still takes time—sometimes even generations—to fully adjust. However, when I was merging the fox and dragon bloodlines, the human bloodline suddenly awakened. The moment it did, it began adapting immediately. Normally, the fox and dragon bloodlines couldn't merge because they weren't balanced, but thanks to my dragon heart, I could have forced the merge. However, if I had done so, the merge wouldn't have been stable—it wouldn't have lasted long.
"But the human bloodline—when it awakened—started adapting my body to these changes. Although the adaptation process was initially slow, the overwhelming mana and my unstable emotions somehow accelerated it. My body adjusted so rapidly that it achieved perfect balance and merged all three bloodlines completely. However, after that initial surge, the adaptation process returned to its normal pace."
"Indeed," Elaris mused, nodding. "It obvious that the sudden increase in adaptation speed was only temporary. If it had been permanent, you would have become a true monster. Although," she added with a smirk, "the current you is already nothing short of monstrous."
"Indeed, you're right. But there's still more," Renan said.
"Really?" Elaris asked, her curiosity piqued. "Then hurry up and tell me."
"Why don't I show you instead?" Renan said, slowly standing up from his place.
Elaris, still sitting, looked at the now-standing Renan with expectant eyes.
The moment Renan stood up, his eyes, which were previously a mix of red and gold, turned pure white. A symbol appeared on his forehead—a circle that didn't connect at the lower sides but had a plus sign in the middle, with a straight line extending outward. As the symbol formed, a radiant halo materialized behind him.
To Elaris, he looked ethereal.
Elaris's eyes widened slightly at Renan's transformation. 'Isn't this the same form he took when he fought the shadow dwarf?' she thought.
"What do you think?" Renan asked, stretching out his hand, opening and closing his fingers to feel the raw power coursing through his veins.
"Fantastic. Amazing. Awesome," Elaris said, clapping.
"Indeed. Its amazing, This form came into existence after the merging of my bloodlines. Thanks to the human bloodline, which didn't just merge but went beyond that, my body didn't become some hideous combination of dragon, fox, and human. Instead, it refined everything into this form.
"My previous strength, which allowed me to fight enemies four stages higher than my actual level, has now increased to six stages. In this form. Truly amazing, don't you think?"
Elaris's eyes widened at Renan's words. "What you're saying is that your strength right now is equal to that of a sixth-stage warrior, despite technically not being in any recognized stage of power?" Elaris asked, still processing the revelation.
"Yes, that's exactly right," Renan said with a smirk.
After moving around for a while in that form, Renan eventually reverted back and sat down in front of Elaris again.
"So, have you thought of a name for your race? As its progenitor, that responsibility falls on you," Elaris asked.
"A name?" Renan repeated, blinking.
"Yes, a name. Have you thought of one?" she asked again.
"Hmmm," Renan murmured, tapping his chin thoughtfully. 'Humadrake? No, that doesn't sound right. Scaletail McFluff? …No, definitely not.' He silently ran through several names in his mind.
After five minutes of deep thought, he finally came to a decision. Looking back at Elaris, he spoke firmly,
"Tryvexis."
"Tryvexis?" Elaris echoed.
"Yes. It's going to be Tryvexis," Renan said with a smile.
