Chapter 176: Veronica's New Evolution!



Chapter 176: Veronica’s New Evolution!

—–

Veronica was resting over her bed… today there was a lot that happened, and she was trying to assess everything.

Although she was made of metal and did not felt the necessity of sleeping nor resting over a comfy bed, she did so anyway, as she could still feel some amount of pleasure by increasing her five senses through the ‘Special Five Senses’ Skill.

Just like Ervas, she was sleeping alone in her bed, well, not completely alone.

Aqua was resting at her side, shaping herself as the comfiest of cushions for Veronica’s head, while Shade was resting inside of her Abyssal Soul, which he found the most comfortable due to his nature deviated towards the dark spectrum of the Light Attribute.

“Today was quite the arduous day… A lot happened, isn’t it? I even ate a God with Ervas, my other half… Oh, Gods! Ah, perhaps I shouldn’t use this expression anymore?” thought Veronica with her main body. Through the ‘Legion’ Skill, Veronica was capable of isolating each of her minds, which were simply part of the same mind as her main body, but through this ability, she was able to be ‘herself’ and rest in her bed without having to divide her mind… although she did, the skill just gives her the ability to isolate a mind from them, and make it seem as if she were finally ‘resting’, which she enjoyed very much, sometimes just isolating herself from all the other parts of her mind that were the countless Clones all around the Kingdom. This way, she saved herself from falling even more insane.

Veronica was also beginning to fuse golems with her clones, making them something similar to a Clone, but separate enough from her to be independent, enough for her to have so slack as well.

She had developed this to the extent of beginning to abuse her Space Expansion skill to create storage items through creating small Golem Clones as pendants or rings, people had now easy access to easy storage of items, as each of her clones could increase the size inside of them the more the level of her skill increased, at level 1, it was x20 space, and at level 2, it became x40, even a tiny crevice inside a pendant could become large enough space to fit several medium to small-sized items, although, for larger things or people, specialized Golem Clones were needed.

Veronica had reached a lot through these four months of life and was now wondering if she could reach things even further beyond her capabilities.

“Now that I have eaten a God, I might be capable of developing more abilities… I did get the Mind Attack Skill, which was most likely related to Oggoth’s powers… So when we eat gods, we get a bit of their power, just like that character from that novel I read in Earth… what was it? Well, it was about Goblins,” thought Veronica.

And as Veronica glanced at her status, she saw the Mana Points numbers and could not help but release a dumb smile on her phantasmal face.

“I got 25 million Mana too! Even if it’s just a quarter of Ervas, it still better than 0000000.1% of Ervas that I had before! I have to be thankful of Oggoth, he really did give us a favor dying…” she thought.

After Veronica and Ervas merged their souls inside of Oggoth’s consciousness, they crushed him to death through their combined use of Soul Break, and somehow, because they were tightly grabbing him with their souls, they ended up ‘assimilating’ the broken soul, or simply eating him.

This caused both to not only develop their Mind capabilities further but granted them the Ming Attack Skill due to this. And to top it all, they also received 25 million Mana, a ridiculous amount.

It was possible to acquire even more stats if they were to eat more gods, or so they thought. Oggoth was but a weakened God that had been sealed and senile for years, Veronica wondered how it would be for a healthier god… but she decided on not thinking about it too much, as her original intentions were not to eat gods, but to befriend them and ask for their help, most likely even helping them too… but there were always some sketchy, evil gods around, so she had planned on eating them if they did not surrender whenever she encountered one across her journey.

Ervas most likely thought the same and agreed with her, he was not particularly craving gods, but he could use the powerup.

Veronica was now able to use her own ridiculous mana amount instead of having to ask Ervas for it, and through that, she felt more independent, despite having recently acquired abilities that unified them even more, such as Soul Fusion.

“Soul Fusion… is perfect to use the Anir and Kelsus Fragments. As long as we are close with each other while unifying our souls through soul threads, we can exchange the fragments around without problems, and we can even use some of the magic of the other too, such as Ervas using Shade with more ease, and me with Gaia too… and I think my Telekinesis gets a bit better with him around me, but I haven’t been capable of developing it myself, my Jobs had turned into a completely different path, emphasizing my unique existence as a living armor that can shapeshift… Will I ever get a Mech Job someday? I transformed too much in the battle, when I get into it, I go all out, and don’t even realize how much potential I had until that point…” she thought.

Veronica thought about her possibilities as a Living Armor, she had mostly endless possibilities after receiving three Divine Protections and eating a god, her talent was there, she just needed to keep pushing forward.

She could not help but wonder, will she even become a castle now? What about a whole city? Or a floating fortress… no, what about a floating city?

Now that she had an absurd amount of mana, she just needed to develop it like Ervas and slowly fulfill such desires, moving them in the right direction towards her path to the future.

Veronica remembered that she had even become a giant fortress to protect Ervas at that time when Oggoth had unleashed Kelsus Dark Scales as deadly projectiles around the air… She was going all out too, constantly generating new layers of protection one after another, not even her could believe that she could go so far.

“If I can really become… a house for all of my people, there will not be any need for them to always have to move around the world, nor to escape from discrimination. I will become their home, the Kingdom where they can live happily and peacefully… If I can become a city for them to thrive in, there would not be anything that could make me happier… the protection, this is what I need… I want to give them the security that they deserve and procure their safety… I do not want to see them die anymore, not anymore… Never again, not with the possibilities that this life has given to me…” thought Veronica.

Veronica’s intentions were good and most pure, but due to the obsession put into them after suffering from such a traumatic incident as the death of all her Kingdom in her previous life as Anastacia, she could not help but be afraid to fail, which only made her even more endorsed into fulfilling her promise of giving the people the bright future of prosperity that they desired…

And now, within the many plans and goals that she had, there was one about becoming a giant floating city… no, a giant floating nation for all her people to be always secure and without having to constantly escape or move away from the endless menace of Humans and the Bright Gods.

“Well, let us stop thinking these things, for now, time to evolve… Now I will finally become Rank 8… Time sure flies. I still remember being a Rank 1 rusty armor back in the dungeon… that was a hell of an adventure… I might go back one day and fight the boss on the actual final floor, maybe, just maybe…”

[Available Evolutions]

[Death Nether Acheron Living Armor Executioner Queen], [Bloodthirsty Hellish Acheron Living Armor Barbarian Queen]

“Woah, these two evolutions are… I am a Queen now? Did Ervas get the King title on his Race after evolving? We’ll see tomorrow, I suppose…” muttered Veronica.

Veronica then began to inspect both available evolution options.

The first option was simply an upgrade from her current evolution, strengthening her Death Attribute Charm, and other related skills, while also making her a Queen in her title, which should have some implications not noted in the descriptions.

And then there was the second option, which seemed to move away from the main tree and specialize in the offense, mostly increasing the power of techniques more than anything. It was indeed a ‘bloodthirsty’ and ‘barbarian’ Evolution…

Unlike Ervas who could branch more due to the lineages, she could only go slightly linear through her evolutions, but that was enough for her, as they brought a lot of power.

Veronica ultimately decided to choose the first option without much hesitation, as her body was immediately shrouded in darkness the moment, she selected it.

She also not only felt her armor changing in appearance, becoming sharper and slimmer, but her soul began to mutate a bit more, becoming larger than it has ever been before… 

And seemingly by adapting to her new Mana, her armor material changed its quality, becoming strangely more capable of storing mana inside, now reaching millions to fit her needs more.
