As the synthesis continued, Aengus received nonstop notifications. He felt excruciating pain throughout his body, but he endured, gritting his teeth until it was completed. The prospect of success kept him going.
Eventually, he fused with 10 humans before he couldn't take it anymore.
He stopped, gasping for breath, feeling the rising storm within him from the newfound skills and strength.

It was a long list of skills and abilities, and he decided to synthesize them later. For now, he was satisfied with the results.
He had gained the Human Transformation ability, though it specified Elite/High Human Transformation.
Elite Human Transformation: Transforms the user into the High Human species—an evolved version of humanity. They possess an optimal body for absorbing mana from the atmosphere, enhanced skill-learning capabilities, a perfectly healthy physique, and elevated wisdom and appeal. High Humans are naturally superior to ordinary humans.
They can also release their aura to command the submission of weaker humans.
"Wow!"
As everyone looked at Aengus's High Human form, gasps of amazement echoed through the air.
The humans felt an overwhelming urge to worship the man before them. They sensed their own inferiority in his presence, unknowingly bowing down in submission.
Avelina did the same, gazing at the incomprehensible man with awe and respect. To her, he was nothing short of a divine being, someone who could bring salvation to everyone in this chaotic world.
Bella eyed his new body, licking her lips as his natural charm began to affect her.
Aengus now possessed a perfectly fit human body, his muscles tight and filled with extraordinary strength. Though his face was mostly unchanged from when he was human, there were subtle shifts in his natural appeal, and his muscles had grown slightly larger.
The black clothes he wore accentuated his muscular physique.
Aengus felt as though he had ascended beyond mortality. A High Human's lifespan, after all, was much longer.
Bella approached and gently caressed his face, feeling a warm sensation from his smooth skin.
"So handsome! Darling, we're almost the same height and build in this form," Bella remarked as she stood close beside him, comparing their height and frames.
Aengus glanced at their shoulders and realized she was right.
"I'm falling more and more in love with you," she added with a charming smile.
Sienna, watching from a distance, admired him with shining eyes. She longed to get closer but knew it would only provoke his disdain. Resigned, she kept her distance, silently admiring him.
Feeling increasingly uncomfortable under the humans' awestruck stares, Aengus deactivated his High Human form.
As soon as he did, the humans snapped back to their senses, exchanging curious glances.
Turning to Sienna and the others, Aengus said firmly, "Alright, it's your turn now!" With his mana fully replenished, he was ready to continue.
"Me... Me..." Sienna quickly hurried to his side, not wanting to be left behind this time.
"Lie down."
She obeyed, and the synthesizing process began, granting them their Systems. He made a mental note to remind them to keep this transformation secret, at least for now.
One by one, Sienna, Butler Yu, Gabi, Maru, Peru, the Wolf King and Queen, Gourmond, and finally Vespera and the other vampires were granted their Systems. This first group would wield unique powers and authority, marking the beginning of a new hierarchy.
After the synthesis process was complete, Aengus took a moment to rest. He arranged some makeshift seating to sit comfortably and have something to eat.
As usual, Bella asserted her authority and sat beside Aengus at the table with a pleased smile.
"Everyone, sit down!" he instructed.
Sienna, Sen, and the others, particularly the new system users who had risen in rank within the army, nervously took their seats. They maintained a respectful distance from Aengus as they gathered around the long stone table in their human forms.
Out of caution, Bella discreetly activated one of her abilities, casting an illusion to conceal what was happening from the outside world. She was careful not to let the humans realize that they now possessed system powers and skills as they experimented with them. It was a matter of great importance.
It wasn't unheard of for a demon to take the form of a human, but the discovery of the system could turn the world upside down. The balance of power would be broken, and chaos would erupt—though that chaos was already on the horizon.
The consequences could be disastrous if anyone managed to inform the humans about this, though it seemed highly unlikely.
Afterwards, they began to eat slowly, while talking about some small stuffs.
Bella enthusiastically began to feed Aengus while chatting and laughing, despite his unwillingness.
