Kyle wasn't entirely sure how to start.
'Well, I'll just shove them into each other and see what happens.'
Kyle took a small part of his three Essences and put them together.
As soon as the three parts touched each other, they vibrated before fizzling out.
When the parts vanished, the old Essences regained their full form again.
'Just as I've expected. As if I would be so lucky to randomly grab the right parts in my first attempt.'
Kyle looked at his three Essences.
'There are over a thousand of these strands per Essence, and I have to fuse the strands in the correct way. For Fused Laws, depending on what I want, there are many correct ways, but when it comes to Essence Fusion, there's only one correct way.'
'Yeah, well, not much I can do except try.'
Kyle continued trying to fuse strands of the Essences.
They kept fizzling out.
Luckily, after a couple of days, he managed to find a combination of three strands that actually worked.
'0.1% of the way there,' Kyle thought. 'Well, technically. Sadly, the more I combine, the more things I have to keep track of.'
Kyle continued rapidly fusing strands.
After around 25 years, he managed to fuse around 10% of the Essences.
The frequency of his attempts had dropped considerably since he was trying to calculate the result before trying the fusion.
However, this wasn't that easy.
It was quite difficult and time-consuming to fill in the variables in the metaphorical equation.
For example:
X*Y*Z=8
Some of the possible solutions were:
2*2*2=8
-2*-2*2=8
4*1*2=8
1*1*8=8
There were a lot of possible solutions, and Kyle had to use other calculations with some of the variables to narrow the range of values for each variable.
Even more, the more Kyle combined, the longer the main equation became.
Calculating the interactions of the Essences became harder and harder.
After a total of 75 years, Kyle had managed to fuse 30% of the Essences.
Luckily, he wasn't disturbed by anyone. After all, his teammates were also focused on their Complex Laws.
After a total of 150 years, Kyle had managed to get to 45%.
Things were getting really tough.
Even more, his time was slowly running out.
By now, he was over 800 years old, and Transcendents could only live for 1,000 years.
Of course, Kyle could actually survive until he was 1,100 years old, but that was because of his time as an Overseer.
Sadly, Kyle wasn't sure if he could actually make use of these additional 100 years. After all, the age test had been manipulated by the Cult to show that he had been just under 400 years old.
So, while he had 300 years of longevity remaining, he actually only had 200 on the surface.
Kyle focused on fusing his Essences with more urgency.
After a collective 200 years, he was at 55%.
At that moment, Kyle realized something.
The more he fused his Essences, the more characteristics of his Infused Complex Laws they showed.
This helped him immensely.
By looking at how his Infused Laws worked, he could somewhat extrapolate how the final Essence would work.
He could also already somewhat see the result.
By now, he could take a good guess as to what his finished Law would look like.
And it was beyond powerful.
Kyle's disguise only had a bit more than 130 years left to become a Unique Transcendent.
