Leon stood before the ancient Merge Tablet, his hand hovering over its glowing inscriptions.
> [Warning: The Merge skill can only be used once. Are you sure you want to proceed?]
He didn't hesitate.
> "Yes."
A golden aura exploded from the tablet, wrapping around his contracted beasts.
Raigun, Nyx, Infernal Wyvern, Frostfang Tiger, Abyssal Reaper Wolf—every single one of them roared as their bodies began to disintegrate into energy.
The entire shrine shook violently. The ground cracked beneath him, and a golden vortex of pure power formed at the center.
Leon felt an overwhelming force pulling at his soul, a sensation he had never experienced before—even in his past life.
> [Your beasts are merging into a single entity.]
[All traits, abilities, and levels will be enhanced.]
[Processing…]
He clenched his fists as the energy swirled into a colossal cocoon of radiant light. The pressure was suffocating, but Leon stood his ground, watching as his beasts' essence fused into something beyond comprehension.

The Birth of a Legend
Time seemed to stretch as the cocoon pulsed with unstable energy. Then—
> BOOM!
A shockwave burst out, nearly sending Leon flying. He steadied himself, eyes locked on the figure emerging from the light.
What stood before him was no longer just a beast.
It was something ancient. Something that had never existed before.
> [You have created a new entity: ???]
[Grade: Legendary+]
[Name your beast.]
Leon's heart pounded. The sheer presence of the creature before him was overwhelming.
A massive four-winged beast with a body forged from crimson lightning and shadow flames. Its eyes burned with divine and abyssal power, and its aura felt like it could devour the heavens.
This was no ordinary Legendary beast.
It had surpassed the very limits of the game's system.
Leon smirked.
> "Your name shall be… Fenrir."
> [Your beast has been named: Fenrir.]
[Warning: Your beast has exceeded standard Legendary parameters. Calculating adjustments…]
Leon narrowed his eyes as he read the last message.
> "Hah. Did I just break the system?"
