Beast Hack: Customizing Beasts and Capturing Beauties-Chapter 457: Donnie Didn’t Just Compete

He looked toward the five Vornis still standing behind him in formation.

"Vornis… assemble."

The five beasts nodded in unison.

The audience went completely silent.

Then the ground started to rumble.

Each Vornis moved into position like they'd practiced this a thousand times.

The Flame Vornis stepped forward.

It roared as its flaming mane expanded, forming wide shoulder armor.

The Earth Vornis lowered itself behind it, its thick, stone-plated body unfolding.

It latched onto the lower half, forming legs and core plates.

The Water Vornis moved next.

Its sleek armor shifted and connected along the arms.

It created fluid, blade-lined gauntlets and hydro boosters on the back.

The Wood Vornis extended its vines and roots, which wrapped around the structure and linked to joints.

It formed flexible support, a torso frame, and energy links.

Finally, the Metal Vornis stepped into the center.

Its perfectly polished core armor unfolded upward.

It formed a shining chest plate and crown-shaped helmet that locked into place on the fusion unit.

The five beasts merged into one.

Each transformation snapped together with glowing pulses.

Flames, vines, water, steel, and stone all intertwining in perfect rhythm.

---

The fusion beast stood tall in the center of the stage.

It looked like a divine armored lion knight.

It stood on two legs, with massive shoulder armor of flame.

His legs were like stone towers and his arms were flowing with water energy.

Its entire body was wrapped in living roots and vines and a sleek metallic chest that shined like a mirror.

Its mane was a full halo of fire, leaves, and steam.

Ffrom its back rose five blade-wings, each forged from a different element.

Its eyes glowed gold.

Its roar was deep and carried the sound of wind, thunder, and crackling fire.

Fiona's jaw dropped.

"W-Wait… what is this?!"

She spun in the air to face the crowd.

"Did you just see that?! He made a Vornis fusion!"

She turned back to Donnie. "What do you even call that?"

Donnie looked up, finally revealing a faint smile behind his mask.

"This," he said softly, "is the result of full elemental balance."

He raised one hand toward the towering fusion beast.

"Elemental Knight Vornis."

Fiona gasped. "Elemental Knight Vornis?!"

She pointed dramatically at the fusion beast.

"Everyone! I don't know what's happening anymore."

"But this is the coolest thing I've ever seen!"

---

Fiona floated beside the massive fusion Vornis, still wide-eyed with amazement.

"You combined style, design, and now this..."

She raised her hand toward the crowd.

"This isn't just a Vornis entry."

She grinned.

"This is a full performance!"

The crowd roared again, echoing her excitement.

Fiona spun mid-air, eyes glowing beneath her visor.

"Well, Luxoria fans…"

She raised her hand.

"I think you all know what to do."

She tapped her screen.

"Voting—starts now!"

---

The Luxoria App buzzed with nonstop votes.

Every second, the bar climbed higher.

Fiona looked up at the screen as the final tally began to flash.

The lights dimmed slightly.

Dramatic music played from the stadium's surround system.

Then—BOOM.

[AVERAGE SCORE: 9.5]

A massive cheer exploded through the stands.

Fiona's mouth dropped open again.

"NINE POINT FIVE?!"

She covered her face with both hands, then laughed.

"That's our highest score yet! Are you seeing this?!"

She turned to the fusion beast and gave it a small salute.

"You, my big shiny friend, are the new bar!"

---

Back in the contestant prep zone, Caelan Valefor watched the screen, arms folded, brows furrowed.

He didn't say anything at first.

Then finally, he muttered, "He forged five separate Vornis…"

"All elementally aligned… and fused them into one."

He gave a short breath through his nose.

"Impressive."

Velmara stood next to him, arms crossed, but her fingers tapped her arm slowly.

"That wasn't just impressive," she said. "That was ridiculous."

She turned toward Caelan with a sideways smirk.

"He didn't come here to win one round."

"He came to show everyone he could've made five perfect entries…"

"Instead, he fused them all into one huge beast."

Caelan nodded. "He turned a contest into a demonstration."

Velmara narrowed her eyes at the replay of the fusion.

"And the scary part?" she added.

"I don't think that was even battle mode."

---

Back in the arena, Fiona flew up again to address the roaring crowd.

"All right, Luxoria fans!"

She pointed toward the massive fusion Vornis one last time.

"Give it up for the mysterious contestant and his five-fold fusion.

"Elemental Knight Vornis!"

The crowd responded with cheers, claps, even synchronized stomps.

The fusion beast gave a low roar—not loud, but deep and proud.

It bowed once to the crowd… and slowly stepped back.

The lights softened.

And Fiona hovered mid-stage once more.

"That's six down," she said, smiling wide. "Only two left."

She winked at the camera drone.

"But if they want to beat that..."

"They better bring fireworks, fireworks, and more fireworks."

---

And just like that, the next gate began to glow.

The competition wasn't over.

But the crowd already had a new favorite.

And his name… no one even knew yet.
