Only now, Vesuvius realized what a jackpot he got. Until now, he underestimated what his dual soul meant.
'I can quickly level up through the early levels of this and gain insane extra stats and bonuses and also some extra evolutions. All the power I can gain out of this is a game-changer. I can probably even speed up all my plans with it.'
He immediately moved down the list of modifications he wanted. He already noticed it during his last battles. His casting and magic control were already highly automatized, but it still required much of his attention to channel and control mana flowing through his body to get where needed.
'It is finally time to overhaul my power grid. My mana veins are already good for transport, but they need control.'
He calmly looked through the spinning model of the dragon while nodding to himself.
With a few moves of his mental muscles, the blue, glowing mana veins widened. After that, muscles sprouted with their own attached clusters of neurons, quickly forming small pump and valve functioning organs.
Their amount quickly grew, one for each of his limbs, glands, and even horns.
Nerves sprouted between them and connected them into a single centralized grid controlled by a newly grown energy management brain directly behind his spell-casting one.
'My brains need to communicate fast.'
Even more, nerves sprouted like roots through the soil and connected all three of his brains.

'I am spending my points like an addict in a casino.'
It was all he wanted. His mana and magic foundation was empowered and overhauled, making him nod as he moved toward the next point on his list.
'My elements need to be empowered. Let's start with fire, I need to purify its concept and reach its higher state.'
Ding!
//
Do you wish to use 5000 META points, 0.5 X High-grade Essence of Purity, 16 lesser fire cores, 8 fire cores, and 4 greater fire cores to uplift your fire-based affinity?
//
'Yes, do it!'
The glowing items exploded and shot toward his soul and body in streams of light and fire. The blazing hot feeling overwhelmed his senses and momentarily made his mind go blank.
The fire burning around the dragon suddenly changed and became purer, hotter, and cleaner.

Your primary soul gained: Plasma Affinity
//
'Good, exactly what I hoped for. This should work as starting position for the next step.'
Immediately a vial of pure light, torn wings still burning in heavenly fire, and dozens of orange orbs floating in the black void lit up as the dragon focused on them.
'Use my plasma as a base. Mix it with light, fire, radiation, and electricity. Take all the remaining fire-attributed materials and use them to empower the fire part. He kept murmuring the instructions to the system while his nonexistent heart pounded with expectation.

Do you wish to use 5000 META points, wings of fire and purity seraph, high-grade essence of light, 3 X Cherubs Lightning Feathers, 52 lesser fire cores, 24 fire cores, and 10 greater fire cores to uplift your fire-based affinity?

'No, use even more meta points and give me something stronger. Double the used points. No, quadruple them!' He wasn't shooting into darkness, he knew what he wanted, and he was almost sure this was the way to get it.
'Fusions of elements aren't random, there is a logical connection in them. These all elements should probably contain the essence of what I want.'
The selected glowing items burst into streams of lightning, fire, and light that rushed and drowned both his soul and body.
He couldn't see anything with his senses overwhelmed, but he could feel the changes happening as he was bathed in the elements.
Finally, it calmed down, and the light subsided, revealing slowly moving and shivering purple flames dancing around the dragon's fiery half.
However, the dragon's sensitive sight could see their true form. Radiation and light at wavelengths invisible to human eyes spread and burned around the fire in a huge radius.
The temperature was shocking he felt like his soul would catch on fire by just looking at it.

You have unlocked a new elemental fusion of the apocalypse domain: Solar Flare.

POV ???:
A man in a green hood and mantle blending with the green bushes around him stood atop the hill, looking concernedly at the valley below him.
The small black dots swarmed everywhere, with a large wall of black stone slowly but surely growing straight across the fields and cutting them in half without mercy.
'Why would anyone build defenses on such a nonsensical location?' He saw a lot during his life, but this was his first time witnessing such a monumental yet wasteful project.
'No, dragons are not wasteful. They must have a reason for building this. I don't like this... if that stupid whore didn't move on her own and provoke the dragon this wouldn't happen
Everything was going to hell with the borders between provinces being closed.
'One can't even leave or enter a city without a permit now. Where will this madness end?' Deep within him, he knew the answer, 'This madness might last even for years... dragons do not forget so easily.'
