stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evolution?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is that?\" he muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could properly process the unfamiliar word, a sudden stream of information surged into his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knowledge arrived abruptly, like a flood breaking through a dam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoren instinctively closed his eyes, allowing his mind to absorb the information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few seconds later, he slowly opened them again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A look of realization appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that’s it...\" he murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The truth behind the Abyss had revealed itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Defeating the Final Floor Boss did not only grant access to the Second Floor, it also provided the opportunity for humans to evolve into a higher lifeform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though humans became stronger within the Abyss, they were still fundamentally mortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their bodies still carried the limitations of ordinary flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To break free from those shackles, they had to evolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only through evolution could a human transcend their mortal limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, evolving was not something that happened automatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were strict requirements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the most important requirements was that a person’s spirit must reach the maximum threshold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One hundred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only those whose spirit had reached that level could trigger the evolution process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that was the shackle I felt around my soul...\" Thoren whispered quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had sensed it for some time now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strange, invisible restraint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt as though something deep within his soul had reached its limit, yet remained bound by an unseen chain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had wondered how to break that mysterious chain but did not know how.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now he finally understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The restriction existed because his spirit had reached the mortal ceiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even reaching the limit of one hundred spirit was not enough to evolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was still one final requirement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to prove himself worthy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Abyss had only one method of testing a worthy person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only through battle could one earn the right to evolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A new notification appeared before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Would you like to partake in the Evolution Battle?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yes | No]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoren stared at the message for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, without hesitation, he selected ’Yes’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course he knew the Evolution Battle would not be simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, it would likely be far more dangerous than the fight against the Final Floor Boss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had no intention of declining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remaining at the Mortal Rank in the Abyss would only limit his growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he wanted to survive the deeper layers and eventually dominate them, he needed to evolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was also another important reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Abyss Market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only those who had evolved were granted access to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without evolution, many of the Abyss’s most valuable resources would remain forever out of reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he confirmed his decision, the air within the ancient coliseum began to tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strange vibration spread through the ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding space distorted as if reality itself had been disturbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, in the distance, the air twisted violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A swirling portal slowly formed in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoren’s expression turned solemn as he stared at the portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From within the swirling darkness, a silhouette began to emerge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavy footsteps echoed across the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive figure stepped out of the portal and into the ruined coliseum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A new notification appeared before Thoren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Demon Malzareth (True Body)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[?? \u002F ??]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[?? \u002F ??]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Note: Demon Malzareth — a prince from a long-lost ancient demon empire.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoren frowned slightly as he read the description.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A prince?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The revelation shocked him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Thoren was still processing the information, Malzareth was also observing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demon’s true form was far more imposing than the body Thoren had fought earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He now possessed four massive arms, each one thick with terrifying strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His muscular frame radiated overwhelming power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His crimson eyes burned with cold hostility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly folded all four arms across his chest while studying Thoren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Disgust flickered across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A human necromancer...\" Malzareth said in clear human language.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His deep voice rumbled across the silent arena like distant thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoren’s eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can speak the human language?\" he asked in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time he had ever encountered an Abyss creature capable of speaking fluently in human speech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, it was the first time he had ever met a sentient Abyss being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most creatures in the Abyss behaved like wild beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this demon was clearly intelligent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malzareth’s expression twisted with disdain as he looked at Thoren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A mere insect...\" he replied coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice carried pure contempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Abyss had not forced him into this situation, a prince of his once-glorious empire would never have been reduced to fighting a mortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And worst of all, a human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Human Federation believed they were the first humans to enter the Abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to Malzareth, such thinking was laughable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were nothing more than frogs at the bottom of a well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignorant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arrogant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a system notification appeared once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Evolution Battle has begun.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere inside the coliseum shifted instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malzareth slowly unfolded his four arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Thoren could issue an order to his undead forces, the demon moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Blood Breaker Punch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All four arms launched forward simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four massive punches made of condensed blood energy shot through the air like crimson meteors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They arrived before Thoren and his undead servants in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang! Bang! Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A painful scream burst from Thoren’s throat as the impact struck him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body was violently thrown backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood sprayed from his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His ears rang loudly, as if a giant bell had been struck inside his skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, the world spun around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt disoriented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for his exceptionally high spirit stat, he might have lost consciousness from that single exchange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time since entering the Abyss, Thoren found himself in truly dangerous situation\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet even in that dire state, his mind reacted quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had severely underestimated the demon’s true body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strength Malzareth displayed now was far beyond that of the clone he had defeated earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill...\" Thoren commanded hoarsely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew very well that his three undead elites were unlikely to defeat Malzareth in this form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they could buy him time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time to recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time to think.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the battlefield, the Undead Rend Colossus charged forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its enormous palm swung toward the demon with crushing force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the left side, the Undead Storm Tyrant rushed in, its massive hammer raised high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the right, the Undead Royalty Stonewall advanced swiftly, the Black Ember Sword gleaming with deadly sharpness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three elites attacked simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Malzareth merely sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With utter disdain, he vanished from his position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang! Bang! Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reappeared directly in front of the Undead Rend Colossus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of his arms caught the massive palm strike effortlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining two arms launched a brutal barrage of punches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each strike carried monstrous power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flesh tore apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bones shattered into fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enormous undead titan staggered, unable to withstand the ferocious assault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the Undead Storm Tyrant arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its hammer descended toward Malzareth’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demon leaned backward with impossible agility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One arm deflected the hammer to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another arm launched forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Blood Breaker Punch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A devastating strike slammed into the Storm Tyrant’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The undead Storm Tyrant was sent flying through the air like a ragdoll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without even turning around, Malzareth sidestepped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Black Ember Sword of the Undead Royalty Stonewall sliced through the air where his body had been only a fraction of a second earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade missed him by the width of a hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Malzareth responded instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two fists crashed forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!
