The idea of mass-producing mini Cosmic Phantom Beasts wouldn't leave Rhodes's mind.

"Cosmic Water Buffalo, I have an idea. If we convert the dark Zoiger to a light attribute and then into a Phantom Beast, could we create mini Phantom Beasts?" Rhodes asked.

The Water Buffalo, the oldest and strongest Phantom Beast, should know if this would work.

"Great Master, your idea is excellent, but Zoiger and Dark Giants are totally different. The Giants could be converted to light because Horus helped. Zoiger's intelligence is only a bit higher than a beast's, and she has no heart of light—she is pure darkness," the Buffalo said candidly.

"Please, Master, don't mix up different things—this really isn't doable. Zoiger and Dark Giants are two entirely different lifeforms, both followers of the evil god Gatanothor."

The Buffalo's words were a bucket of cold water. Forcing the transformation would only yield a dark-attribute Phantom Beast, not a light one. And dark Phantom Beasts, while not as bad as Chaos, still carry highly corrosive Ultraman dark energy.

"So… is that it? I just have to give up on 200,000 mini Phantom Beasts?" Rhodes said.

"What are you talking about, Rhodes, getting all worked up for nothing?" At that moment, Aisha pushed open the training room door and walked in.

She immediately saw the 70-meter-long monster radiating dark energy. The sight made her eyes light up—Rhodes had made something interesting again!

"Isha! I just summoned this monster. It's dark-aligned, like the Dark Giants. I wanted to turn it into a Phantom Beast and breed a horde of mini Phantom Beasts for my gene-descendants, but it's tricky," Rhodes explained.

"Ah, I get it. This monster's breeding power is amazing, perfect for a cannon fodder species. But if you don't convert it to a Phantom Beast, don't send it against the Tyranids," Aisha advised.

The Tyranids' Great Devourer is a supreme powerhouse feared by all four of them, possessing immense power in both the Warp and the physical universe. It consumes all life and stars indiscriminately.

The current Tyranid force in the Milky Way is just a small detachment, expanding as it advances; the main Hive Fleets are still en route.

"I know, that's why I thought of Phantom Beast-ification. As pure energy beings, Tyranid gene-masters couldn't do anything to them," Rhodes said.

"So only Phantom Beasts and mechanical monsters are suitable for fighting Tyranids in future; biological monsters aren't."

"Even if you can't convert dark to light, can't you make it fire or lightning attribute? This monster's darkness is just physical-universe darkness—it's different from Warp energy. Once you draw out Warp energy, you can manifest it as things like fire or lightning in the real world," Aisha suggested.

As a Chaos goddess striving to become a god of order, Aisha said that using Warp energy to transform the monster's attribute was possible. Light energy harms them, but other elements don't.

"No, it's too risky. Warp energy is extremely unstable and full of malice. I rarely draw on it now," Rhodes shook his head.

Only those who truly understand the Warp know its horror; its energies are dangerously chaotic when brought into the real world.

Rhodes could safely extract Emperor-purified Warp energy or purify it himself with soul power. But he'd only do so as a last resort—every time he used the Warp, he felt indescribable chaos.

Warp energy is pure evil, full of every kind of negative emotion.

Using Warp energy to change Zoiger's attributes for Phantom Beast-ification, Rhodes would rather just make her a dark attribute Phantom Beast. As bad as that is, it's still better than pure Warp energy.

"That's exactly why you should use Warp energy for this. With the two of us guiding it, we can evolve the new chaos energy. Remember how the Emperor, Daram, and even Horus evolved? It was hope—human hope—channeled through the Warp. Without the Warp, the Emperor couldn't receive hope energy," Aisha said.

"And for this dark-aligned monster, Warp energy might even be a huge boon!" she added.

The Warp is full of negative emotions, but that doesn't mean nothing can be done. With Phantom Beasts present, the situation changes.

If it was just her as a Chaos god, it'd be impossible, but with Rhodes, the goddess of life Isha, and the Phantom Beasts all working together to purify energy, converting a dark monster to fire/lightning or another attribute would be easy.

"Let me think about it," Rhodes said.

The Warp is dangerous, but not unusable. Phantom Beast power, the goddess of life's power, and his own could all evolve it.

"It's your decision, Rhodes. If you're unwilling, then just let the monster be," Aisha said.

Where does all the Warp's negativity come from? Why do normal gods turn into evil ones? Maybe Rhodes would find the answer and be the one to purify the Warp and the High Heavens.

When the ancient Old Ones ruled the galaxy, the Warp wasn't like this!

"Let's try it! If we fail, we just lose a Zoiger, but if we succeed, the gains are huge," Rhodes said, nodding to Aisha.

Hesitation wasn't his style. He'd used Warp energy before, and he wasn't letting the monster absorb it, just using it to alter her attributes.

"Alright, let's begin! We'll guide the Warp energy together, then send it to the Phantom Beasts for purification before channeling it to your monster for attribute conversion," Aisha said, excited.

She was looking forward to the day Rhodes could really change the Warp and destroy the Chaos gods, letting true gods of order rule the universe!

Rhodes nodded, summoned all his Phantom Beasts, and, with Aisha, opened a Warp rift, slowly drawing out powerful Warp energy.

The Phantom Beasts converted it to safe energy, stripping away the chaos and malice.

Pure Warp energy was injected into the Zoiger Queen. She let out a shrill scream, feeling like she was being torn apart.

"Roar! Roar!" she cried in pain.

"Quiet! Your body is tough—try to absorb the power," Rhodes soothed her.

Her agonized roars echoed around the training room as her body convulsed under the Warp's assault.

Darkness poured from her, battling the pure Warp energy. Cracks split her skin, dark red energy leaked out, as if her body was being torn apart.

The Warp energy was terrifying, as if it would rip her apart—indescribable pain.

"Hang in there, Zoiger Queen!" Rhodes urged, focusing his psychic power to guide the energy flow.

Aisha stood beside him, hands glowing blue as she assisted, her gaze calm and focused, as if everything was under control.

This time, Aisha used only her Giant and Order God powers, not Chaos.

The Phantom Beasts circled the Queen, radiating gentle light, slowly stripping the Warp's chaos and malice away.

The purified energy was injected into her, helping her resist the chaos' corruption.

The Queen's pain gradually eased and her body began to change. Her pitch-black skin became covered with fiery patterns, flames erupting from within as if her blood had become fire.

At the same time, her eyes sparkled with lightning, blue arcs dancing across her body with a crackling sound.

"We did it!" Aisha said excitedly, eyes fixed on the Queen.

Fire and lightning intertwined within the Queen, utterly suppressing the darkness and replacing it with wild, pure energy.

Her body swelled; already over 70 meters, she grew to a full 100 meters long and over 100,000 tons.

Her appearance changed too: her once-grim form became elegant, with beautiful flame and lightning markings on her body.

Her wings spread, fire and lightning intertwined—blazing thunder wings—half her body purple, half red.

"Roar!" The Queen let out a low roar, now filled with power and majesty instead of pain.

Her eyes shone with intelligence, as if her mind had grown. The transformation was a success: the Zoiger Queen was now a lightning-fire monster, her darkness purged (or at least neutralized) by the Warp energy.

Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief, smiling as he stroked her head.

The Queen lowered her head, gazing at Rhodes with flame-and-lightning eyes, expressing loyalty and gratitude. Even her intelligence had increased.

"Looks like our experiment worked," Aisha said, smiling.

"The Queen not only changed attributes, but gained much more power. Her fire and lightning affinity is perfect."

Rhodes's theory had succeeded. By combining Phantom Beast, Aisha, and his own power, they could indeed evolve Warp energy.

Rhodes nodded, full of anticipation. "Yes, the Queen's success is only the beginning. Soon, she'll produce a steady stream of mini Zoiger Phantom Beasts."

Without hesitation, Rhodes spent a million system coins to make the Queen a Cosmic Phantom Beast—now with both lightning and fire attributes, and able to produce mini Zoigers.

The Phantom Beasts circled her, letting out deep resonant cries as if celebrating her rebirth.

Her fire and lightning powers lit up the entire training room.

Aisha nodded, resolute. "Rhodes, the Warp's chaos is dangerous, but if we can master it, it will be our greatest weapon."

The Queen's transformation marked a major step in Rhodes and Aisha's Warp energy research.

The secrets of the Warp are the very foundation of this universe.
