Now the time had come to do something he had been waiting for for a long time. In the last months many skills reached their peak but he decided to wait until the last moment in case others reached their peak as well. This was because if he decided to fuse just a few skills he might gain a weaker skill and would have to train it until it reached it's peak to fuse it with others once more. This is his reason for waiting until the last moment.

H: [System! Activate Skill Fusion!]

H: [What about the Punching and the Kicking Skills? Shouldn't they be compatible?]

H: [Then do the last one. This seems to be the best option for now.]

H: [Just name it "Perfect Body" or something]

As soon as Hermann had confirmed everything he felt pain run through his entire body causing him to lean himself onto the wall of the building next to him before he sat on the ground with his back to the wall, trying to endure the strange movements in his body. When the pain began to increase tremendously after a short while he tried to flee into the deepest parts of his soul to stop the pain but no matter where he went he could not escape it. Flooding his mind with the best memories of his lives he tried to ignore the pain until it finally ended after what felt like years of agony.

When he observed his new body still disoriented from the pain he noticed that although his body seemed sturdier than before nothing much had changed. At least until he saw what had happened to his nervous system. What had previously simply been connected with his head now connected to his soul directly somehow. Hermann was confused. How could something physical connect to something that wasn't made out of matter?

H: [True. By the way what happens to the souls that are consumed by my shield?]

At this moment Hermann decided that perhaps using this shield on small fry was a bit over the top and he would only use it on people that were either really evil or that pissed him off extremely. Others could die at peace as long as they stayed dead. Should he land in a world where everyone endlessly resurrects then he would absorb everyone regardless of character that got in his way.

Shaking his head to rid himself of these distracting thoughts he tried to push himself up with his hands from the ground and after a bit of stumbling on his numbed legs he managed to walk properly once again. Stretching himself for a few seconds he ordered the system to equip everything he had before walking to the entrance of the base, wearing his armor while holding his sword and shield.

H: [But why would my nerves even connect to my soul? What are the benefits?]

Smiling Hermann tried to view these changes objectively. This might be helpful to him in many different ways in the future. When he finally looked up to the sky he saw that the sun had already traveled much further than he had expected.

H: [What time is it now?]

H: [Then I have about an hour before Allmight might notice my absence, finds the note and arrives here.]

H: [Nope I want a real fight! I've waited for this fight for more then ten years!]

H: [Just let me do my thing I know what I'm doing. If anything happens I can still flee somehow.]

H:[Just watch me]
