Marvel Ultimate Gacha

[Congratulations, Host, on completing your first World Tribulation!]

[Host has successfully gained the Dawn (Light and Dark) Garuda Bloodline and the Violet (Dimensional) Phoenix Bloodline.]

[Host will unlock his Racial Trait upon reaching the Cyan Core.]

Hearing the notifications, Michael stood frozen. 'When did I go through my first Tribulation?' he asked the System, astonished. After a moment of explanation, he nodded. ' I see... so now I have these bloodlines as gifts. '

He couldn't help but smile at the unexpected boon. ' In the original timeline, Lith gained Dragon and Phoenix Bloodlines as gifts, which later fused into a Demon Bloodline,' Michael thought, a hint of curiosity sparking in his mind. ' I wonder what mine will end up becoming.'

"Are you okay?" Lith asked, noticing Michael had gone silent.

"Nothing, just wondering where I'm going to test my theory now," Michael replied, glancing at him. Lith nodded in understanding.

Protector, overhearing this, stepped forward. "Use it on me."

"Huh?" Michael let out a confused sound, looking at Protector.

"I'm nearing my death," Protector explained. "Earlier, I lied because I didn't know whether to trust you. But seeing you heal those cubs and then let them go, even when you could have easily demanded something in return, proves you're a good cub in our eyes."

The others nodded in agreement as Protector continued, "So, you can do it. I only have five or six years left to live anyway."

Michael nodded after a moment of thought. "Okay then," he said. "Let's find a quiet place."

With that, Michael began to lead the way. "Follow me," he said as Protector and the others trailed behind. Reaper stayed back with his newborn cubs, tending to his mate.

As they walked, Michael quietly activated his Spirit Vision, scanning the mana flow in the environment. He was searching for something he remembered from the original novel. "There should be a mana geyser around here," he muttered under his breath, continuing to walk and observe.

Finally, after about an hour of searching, he stopped and smiled. "Found it," he announced, standing in front of a massive tree.

Lith tilted his head, confused. "What does a tree have to do with your magic theory?" he asked, inspecting the tree but finding nothing unusual. Despite its size and the strong mana radiating from its roots, it appeared to be just a tree.

"It's under the tree," Michael said, waving his hand. A massive blade of wind sliced through the tree, cleaving it cleanly in two. He then used another spell to remove the roots, revealing a large geyser of mana gushing out from the ground.

Michael stepped closer to the geyser and pulled out a few crystals from under it. They were small, about the size of a fist, and glowed red and yellow.

"Well, I never expected much," he thought to himself, recognizing that this was just a small mana geyser.

"What are those?" Lith asked, watching Michael inspect the crystals.

"Mana stones," Michael replied. "They're the coagulated form of worldly energy." He pointed to the spot where the mana was gushing out. "And this is a mana geyser—a point where a massive amount of mana comes to the surface. If this one were larger, we could mine hundreds of mana stones from it. Unfortunately, it's just a small one, but it's enough for what we need." He motioned toward Protector. "Come, sit here."

Protector nodded and approached the geyser.

"Once again, you could die… or turn into an Abomination," Michael warned.

Protector looked at him, determination clear in his eyes. "I'm ready," he said as he sat directly on the geyser.

"Alright then," Michael said, stepping forward. He began teaching Protector the breathing technique for wolves, which was recorded in his grimoire.

"No, move back for now," Michael interjected. "Let him focus."

Lith and others stepped back, and Protector closed his eyes, concentrating on the instructions. From time to time, Michael had to guide him back on track when Protector faltered, but eventually, he mastered the technique.

"Now, just keep doing this. Sit here and breathe in the mana properly. Make sure to rest your body when it feels overwhelmed," Michael instructed.

Protector nodded, maintaining his position as he continued the breathing practice.

"Will this really help him evolve?" another wolf asked.

Michael nodded. "Yes. For beasts, it's easier to evolve compared to us humans," he explained. "You beasts can naturally use magic, though typically only one or two affinities. However, if you evolve while awakening or activating your mana core, the evolution continues each time you progress from one core stage to another."

"It's like your body wants to improve with each cycle," Michael explained as he kept an eye on Protector.

"Alright, it's starting now… any moment," he said. Suddenly, Protector let out a low whimper.

"Oh, yes. I forgot to mention—it hurts like hell," Michael added casually.

Protector released painful howls as his fur began to shed. His body cracked audibly, and a black liquid seeped out of his pores, staining the ground beneath him. His form continued to shift, the process appearing almost violent as his body purified and rebuilt itself.

A golden light Pillar also came out of him, which signifies his evolution.

"Is he going to be alright?" Lifebringer asked, concerned.

Michael nodded. "He's fine. So far, there's nothing dangerous about the situation. This is just his bloodline refining itself—improving, as I mentioned earlier," he reassured, his voice calm as the others nodded.

After a few minutes, the process came to a halt. Protector's body stilled, and new, shiny fur began to grow over him. His size had visibly increased, nearly twice as large as before, and his eyes gleamed with newfound strength and clarity.

Protector now stood tall and majestic, with a shoulder height of 2.5 meters (8'3"). His fur had transformed into a brilliant flaming red, accented with shades of white and yellow that gave it a striking, almost ethereal appearance. A deep blue flame enveloped his entire body, glowing with a greater intensity around his neck, forming a fiery mane that radiated power and grace.

Two curved horns jutted from his forehead, positioned just in front of his ears, giving him an air of regal ferocity. From his back sprouted massive, eagle-like feathered wings that shimmered with the same fiery energy, and his tail blazed with bright flames, flickering and dancing with life.

In this form, Protector's sheer presence was overwhelming, his weight now reaching several tons, a living embodiment of power and majesty.
