Chapter 34: Kai's Evolution Into A Demon Lord
As Kai's body undergoes the transformation into a Demon Lord, the chaotic energies of the draconic aura and demonic magic surge through him, reshaping his very essence. The strain of absorbing Milim's draconic aura and Guy's demonic magic has pushed him to the brink, but it has also unlocked a new level of power. His **Unique Skill: Newton** evolves into the **Ultimate Skill: Mimir**, a sentient skill that grants him unparalleled knowledge and strategic insight. However, this is only the beginning. The transformation also unlocks **three additional Ultimate Skills**, each representing a different aspect of his newfound power: **Aeternitas (Eternity Lord)**, **Izanami (Netherworld Dominion)**, and **Inti (Solar Emperor)**.

**5. Common Skills → Unique Skills**
Kai's common skills fuse and evolve into the **unique skills** listed in the document. Here's how the fusion works:

- Kai can subtly influence the probability of events, making critical hits more likely or dangerous situations less dangerous.
