450 The Four–Sigil Awakening
Steven’s face hardened. “Understood.”
Alan was quiet for a moment.
Then he added, “When the time comes, if I have to kill Alex, don’t be surprised. Stay calm. Whatever happens–no matter what you see–stay calm.
Steven held Alan’s gaze for a long moment, then nodded. “Got it.”
“Since there’s a big fight coming, I should advance to Four–Sigil now. Give me an hour.”
Alan nodded. “Take your time. Evolve first.”
Steven’s eyes flashed.
Time to push to Four–Sigil.
He was curious to see what his four–sigil pattern power would be.
Steven sank into his consciousness space.
He faced those crimson pupils–cold, emotionless.
He exhaled. The jump from Three–Sigil to Four–Sigil had been faster than he’d expected.
The spirit fruit deserved the credit.
Let’s do this.
“Beast Energy Conversion, activate!”
Four–Sigil. Come on.
That hour was an eternity for Steven.
The instant his conversion values crossed the 55,000 threshold.
The blood–red light pouring from those beast pupils shifted dramatically.
The crimson was darkening–trending toward black.
And in that same instant, Steven nearly lost his mind.
The pain was beyond description–as though every molecule of his being was being ground into dust.
He howled inside his consciousness space.
At the same time, the spectral pupils and wings began to flicker.
An enormous, phantasmal body started to materialize.
It was mysterious and awe–inspiring, radiating a pressure that seemed to dominate the heavens, like a king among beasts.
Four limbs, thick and powerful, as though they held the strength to annihilate worlds.
Dark crimson scales covered the body, ancient and ordered, practically radiating defensive might.
An invisible pressure leaked from the phantom.
But the image was still incomplete. The head hadn’t materialized yet.
In the phantom space, Steven could see the body, the wings on its back, and those crimson eyes—but the rest of the head remained hidden.
On Steven’s physical body, the fourth beast–type Divine Sigil began forming on his spine.
Its shape was nearly identical to the first Beast Sigil on his chest.
Only the color was different.
As it solidified, the beast crystals in Steven’s bracelet were being consumed at a terrifying rate.
Every extra second felt like it would break him.

“Beast Energy Conversion”
“Conversion Progress: 182,091 + 1,200 / 1,000,000”
“Beast Energy Talent: Eye of Insight 3+1, Firmament Wings 1+1, Immortal Body +1”
“Divine Sigil: B–rank Wind–Fire Divine Sigil, Three–Sigil Lv. 30”
Chapter 450 The Four Sigil Awakening
If he tatt conversion for 10 hours a night, that was 25,000 stat points per night.
Absolutely terrifying.
The gap between Four–Sigil and Three–Sigil wasn’t incremental.
It was a massive leap.
But a full level of evolution now cost 440,000 beast crystals. That translated to 4.4 million low–grade divine crystals.
If he only ran conversion at night, he’d need roughly 20 days per
level.
And that assumed he could convert for a full 10 hours every night, which was optimistic.
More importantly, beast crystals were a massive bottleneck.
440,000 per level.
10 levels would require 4.4 million.
