In the Main God Game, within Lilith's exclusive luxurious ecological room.
When the four scarlet vertical pupils opened once more, the Mutation transformation was complete.
That familiar energy within her body had completely integrated into her form.
The fusion of the Electric Eel gene was finished.
Lilith slowly stretched her massive Tyrant body, her bones emitting a dense and crisp series of cracks.
She could clearly sense the subtle changes occurring inside her body.
Deep within her thoracic cavity, an area extending close to her back and reaching her tail, a flat and highly efficient biological power plant had appeared.
Countless cells, like tiny biological fuel cells, quietly stored energy, ready to convert chemical energy into violent biological electricity according to Lilith's will.
Simultaneously, beneath the silver-white Bone Armor covering her entire body, the dermal and epidermal structures had also been optimized.
Countless minute ion channels and neural sensory endings were constructed, greatly increasing the skin and Bone Armor's resistance to and affinity for electrical currents.
A more obvious change manifested in her appearance. The roots and surfaces of the row of towering giant bone spikes along her spine were now etched with intricate, dark red energy patterns.
These patterns, like precise circuit board traces, extended deep into the Bone Armor, connecting to her newly formed electrical organ.
The same sanguine patterns had also quietly crawled onto the ferocious, crown-like structure atop her head, reminiscent of the Xenomorph Queen, adding an extra layer of domineering Intimidation to Lilith's already terrifying visage.
Casually moving her shoulder blades, a few small crimson arcs of electricity instantly crackled along the bone spikes at the edge of her wing membrane, leaving a scorched scent in the air.
Lilith could even feel that, if she wished, the current could efficiently conduct and converge along those red patterns on the bone spikes, then erupt from the tips of her claws, Wing Blades, or tail blade to form a high-voltage electric shock.
Furthermore, she could manipulate the current to gather and compress within a special gland deep in her throat, then fire a high-energy lightning beam for mid-to-long-range destructive strikes.
Given her current constitution and the energy reserves afforded by her massive size, the biological voltage and current intensity she could release far surpassed anything found in natural Electric Eels.
This would become another powerful trump card for her, alongside physical rending, bone blade slashes, and Blood Domain erosion.
Lilith moved her giant claws, stepping out of the giant nest tailor-made for her, and arrived at the simulated streamside.
She lowered her head, gazing at the clear water's surface reflecting the increasingly ferocious image of the silver-white behemoth. With a thought, she summoned her attribute panel.
An indigo-blue light screen unfolded in her consciousness.

'Biological Attribute... Lightning.'
Lilith's four scarlet vertical pupils locked onto the newly added [Lightning] attribute on the panel, a ripple of emotion stirring within her.
She hadn't expected that merely fusing one gene could directly derive an entirely new biological attribute.
This meant her control over lightning energy wasn't limited to her body; she could also develop biological skills belonging to the Lightning attribute based on this biological attribute.
This was an unexpected boon for Lilith.
'The attribute increase isn't very high...'
Looking at the minor single-digit growth in basic attributes like Strength, Speed, and constitution, it seemed the effectiveness of attribute boosts from localized Mutations significantly diminished after the base attributes broke through one hundred points.
The 'quality' represented by each attribute point after surpassing one hundred was far beyond what it was before.
To achieve another explosive leap in attributes, she would likely need to rely on a comprehensive evolution of her life form, or, significantly increase her own body size and weight.
The reason her attributes far exceeded humans was because her true form could inherently bear more muscle and strength than a human body, giving her a congenital advantage.
'The most direct way to cause a massive increase in size is to devour super-large creatures like blue whales or giant squids.'
However, correspondingly, once her size became too large, the quantity needed to collect other genes would also increase. For now, she needed to first complete the collection of her planned targets before considering those large creatures.
Having planned her recent gene collection route, Lilith shifted her attention to the system's updated content.
Trading Platform, Wanxiang Celestial Tower, the three major faction leaderboards.
The second stage of the Main God Game had clearly already begun.
This was no longer merely about struggling for survival in dungeon challenges; it was a comprehensive competition of Factions, resources, talent, and influence.
Lilith's gaze fell upon the hunter leaderboard, and she opened the page.
[Ding! The hunter leaderboard has been opened.]
[This leaderboard is generated based on a comprehensive assessment of Hunter attribute combat power and skill intensity. Please choose a display name: True Name / Custom Codename.]
A prompt popped up on the blue light screen.
Lilith merely glanced at it indifferently, her mind involuntarily recalling the slogan of Apocalypse.
Although she didn't understand English, she had specifically learned the general meaning of this slogan.
'Night.'
She uttered the word calmly.
[Ding! The hunter leaderboard has been updated. Please check.]
The light screen refreshed, revealing a concise leaderboard. Occupying the top position was the codename — Night, which was herself.
Each ranking had a simple codename, along with the country the codename currently belonged to.
Below, from second to one hundredth, were densely packed various codenames.
Lilith's scarlet vertical pupils quickly scanned the top ten.
Purple Blaze(Dragon Nation)Brahma(India)Lilith(Britain)Ghost Prison(Japan)Eye of God(America)Final Script(Dragon Nation)Ares(America)Xuanwu(Dragon Nation)Garuda(India)
Within the top ten, America occupied three spots, Dragon Nation three, India two, Britain one, and Japan one.
'America, three... and I'm ranked first.'
A scarlet light swirled in Lilith's eyes. Being able to squeeze into the top ten, plus the known SSS-Level Talent Hunter Forti from America...
In other words, within the top ten of the hunter leaderboard, the Talents were at least SSS-Level.
Globally, there were conservatively at least ten SSS-Level Talent Hunters.
Not delving deeper into the leaderboard details, Lilith's massive form was suddenly enveloped by a dense, dark red blood mist.
The mist churned and contracted. A few seconds later, as it dissipated, the silver-white behemoth was gone. In its place stood the small figure dressed in black-red gothic military attire, with a head of snow-white long hair.
Straightening her slightly askew military cap, Lilith lifted her small face, her ruby-like vertical pupils gazing into the void ahead.
'Time to take a look.'
With a single step forward.
Space shifted, and Lilith's figure vanished from her luxurious ecological room.
