Chapter 1004 - Realm Core Upgrade! Law-Defying Realm Core Abilities! . . . The beautiful Realm Core greeted my sight with its shimmering brilliance, it was shining brighter than the sun itself, it has been nourishing itself from the exchange of energies between my body and also this area, the Lower Realm. Andromeda emerged at my side in her holographic appearance, as she suddenly materialized into a beautiful robot goddess. "Master, now we are finally ready!" she said. "Indeed… It took a couple of weeks, but we are done for… Well, outside, maybe it was about a few days," I said. "Indeed! The time dilation between your divine realm and the outside world is very useful! With that, you were able to accumulate a lot of power in some little time…" said Andromeda.. "Indeed… Now, I will leave the rest to you," I said. "Of course! Leave it to me!" Andromeda quickly flew into the Realm Core, using her energies, she gathered them around the Realm Core alongside the power of my Divine Points, all 20 million Divine Points which I had painstakingly accumulated through this whole time! "I already have the Ability Blueprints ready… The Abilities that will boost the speed of growth of everyone, and the power that they will even be able to share… Alongside the extraction of the essence and Law Comprehension… Everything… It seems to be enough, it fits!" said Andromeda, as she began to create the Abilities. "As long as we use something as powerful as the Realm Core as its pillar, these Abilities can be created without them costing so much… And thanks to the power of System Engineer Ability and the System and Law Path Jewel, we can employ the laws themselves to aid us into creating this logic-defying power!" said Andromeda, who seemed inspired. "Yup, that's right! You seem quite inspired," I said. "Of course I am, Master, this means a lot! Now… let's do it!" Andromeda and I held hands as we unleashed our Divine Auras over the large white and black-colored Realm Core crystal, which had the size of an elephant. We infused our minds, thoughts, and divine power, a lot of my divine power, in fact… And then, I saw it, a large stream of golden dew, which was in fact… Divine points! As they were 20 million Rank 4 (Great God Realm) Divine Points, it was an immense wave of energy, reaching the Realm Core's inner center, and fusing it with it! At the same time, several pieces of data that Andromeda prepared beforehand emerged, fusing with the Divine Points to generate the Abilities. FLAAAASH! The Abilities began to surge over the entire Realm Core, overflowing it with power! A lot of power! Suddenly, the entire Realm Core began to upgrade. Previously, it was a Rank 9 God Realm, but now, it was upgrading to Great God Realm, Rank 1, Rank 2, Rank 3, Rank 4, Rank 5, Rank 6, Rank 7… All the way to Rank 8, the same Rank I currently was! FLAAAAAAAAASSSHHH!!! I saw as the light unleashed an enormous divine brilliance, the sound of this brightness was so loud it created shockwaves that shook the entire lower realm. BOOOOM! The shockwaves exploded, causing a few catastrophes around, it seemed that the birth of these powers was catastrophic! How strong were they? I thought it would be so much of a big deal… Suddenly, a sudden presence tried to fall over us! CLAAAASH! However, the Lower Realm Divine Walls protected us! What was that? "Master, that was… the World's Will itself?! The Laws of the world were trying to stop us from creating these abilities! She somehow sensed it…" said Andromeda. "I can sense it. She didn't come in person, but it was just her pure will, which exists in most of the world, spread across heaven and earth… But not enough… We shall not give up on it!" I said. I quickly infused my immense great goddess soul and divinity into the Realm Core, and also into the Divine Walls that closed the Lower Realm Territory, both protecting us and accelerating the ability creation...! CLAAAASH! However, another attack from the World's Will came forward… So she can even do that? Is she desperate or something?! Well, too fucking late. Because… It was already over! FLAAAASH! The Realm Core fully upgraded to Great God Realm of Rank 8…! And even more, it gained new Abilities, and it even became a System Function of its own through my Path Jewel of System and Heavenly Laws! It seems to have merged with the Dungeon System, the Kingdom/Empire System, and rewrote them, using their space to take place over them. And the abilities… they were already there! "It is done, Master…! Phew… That was tough," sighed Andromeda. The World's Will immediately stopped attacking the moment things were finished, it probably gave up on whatever was going on in here that was shaking the Heavenly Laws and the System Laws so much. In front of me, a sight of utmost brilliance and beauty surged, the Realm Core had grown around 20 times its original size, resembling the size of a gigantic building, perhaps extending over almost 100 meters if not some more… "Has our child be born?" I asked. "Not yet… It seems that it took all of this power as well, and its existence had been enhanced but not yet… I believe that whenever it is born… It will be a big event… Something that might not only change our fate but… the fate of the world…" said Andromeda. "This… Well, for now, let's calm down. Time to see this bad boy's status," I said. Ding! [Realm Core Type: [Primordial Chaos and Heavenly Law Realm Core] [Realm Core Owner: [Kireina Dark Moon] [Realm Core Rank: [Great God 8/9 Realm] [Realm Core Essence Points: [0/120.000.000.000] (Required to Rank Up) [Realm Core Territory: [Realm of Vida: Lower Realm Area: 100%], [Realm of Vida: Surface Area : 9%] [Realm Core Abilities Quality: [A-Rank] [Realm Core Abilities Efficiency: [A-Rank] [Realm Core Abilities Share Value: [A-Rank] [Realm Core Abilities: [Divine Treasure Prize Drop (Unlocked)], [Path Jewel Forgery (Unlocked)], [Primordial Law Comprehension Temple (Unlocked)], [Heavenly Alchemy Atelier (Locked)], [Primordial Attribute Particle Garden (Locked)], [Primordial Dao Fragment Temple (Locked)], […] … Amazing… The System is very small, but it shows what is needed. It also seems to be able to show the number of Essence Points I require to upgrade it. Which is pretty much the Divine Points I just used… So this means that the more I upgrade it, the newer Abilities could be unlocked, and the stronger the abilities Quality and capabilities become? And the Abilities… They are really there! All of the Abilities! Well, only three are unlocked, but more can surge as I upgrade the Quality of the Realm Core, it seems! I quickly decided to check each of the Unlocked Ones, as the locked ones were not able to be checked… … [Divine Treasure Prize Drop (Unlocked)] 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎 Converts 30% of the Leftover Essence, Law Comprehension, Dao Comprehension, and Abilities into dropped items of each respective category. Leftover Essence becomes Divine Energy Crystals and Attribute Value Crystals. Law Comprehension becomes Law Crystals. Dao Comprehension becomes Dao Crystals. And Abilities become Lesser Path Jewels or Path Jewels. … This is… Just like I had imagined it… Insane. By devouring Gods' Souls, I can only get some insights into their Law Comprehension, but… through this, I would always get a fixed increase through their Law Crystals. Law Crystals increase the respective Law Comprehension percentage by a fixed value of 0.1%. Dao Crystals increase the amount of Residual Dao Essence required to form a Dao Fragment by 0.1%. And Attribute Value Crystals seem to permanently increase stats. Insane! Now… … [Path Jewel Forgery (Unlocked)] Grants the ability to enter the Path Jewel Forgery within the Divine Realm of the Realm Core Owner, which grants the ability to anyone that is allowed inside to be able to craft their own Path Jewels using existing Skills, Blessings, Classes, and Titles and ingredients, alongside a certain amount of Divine Energy Crystals. Path Jewel's strength is only 50% of its original power. By performing a ritual and spending the required amount of Divine Energy Crystals, anyone that is allowed inside can create a Path Board to deposit their Path Jewels inside their souls. Opening more Path Orifices cost more Divine Energy Crystals, with a discount of 10%. … With this, it could be possible for everyone to make their own Path Jewels! And even more with the previous Ability, which granted the ability to make the abilities of the defeated foe convert into Path Jewels right away… With this, everyone can have them! And it also allows them to make a Path Board and Path Orifices, which also come with a discount… I suppose the power of the path jewels and the discount will increase as the Realm Core Ranks up. And lastly… … [Primordial Law Comprehension Temple (Unlocked)], Grants the ability to enter the Primordial Law Comprehension Temple within the Divine Realm of the Realm Core Owner, giving the ability to share Law Comprehension around with each user that enters. The more one stays inside connected to one another through meditation, the more Law Comprehension can be shared… This can also be done without being inside by leaving a Soul Clone. Law Comprehension Share: 50% of original comprehension over time. Enhances Law Comprehension speed with all types of Laws while meditating inside by 200%. … Amazing! With this, Law Comprehension can be shared around! Meaning that the Comprehension that all my family and allies have can be shared with me as long as we get a Soul Clone inside the Temple, just as easy as that! Well, it is not an immediate effect, it seems to take some time, and the share of comprehension is gradual, but it is a nice passive way to connect with everyone's Law Comprehension and gain as much Comprehension speed as possible. With these amazing Abilities, we can really do about anything… Well, not anything, but it really just increases the overall possibilities… The Realm Core was shining brighter than ever after all of this, it had grown way too big… "Now that we are done with this, what should we do, Master?" asked Andromeda. "Now we shall make some experiments!" I said, as I and Andromeda flew back to my Divine Realm, where we found that the two new buildings had been created out of nowhere, which was at the side of my Castle, the Path Jewel Forgery, and the Primordial Law Comprehension Temple. I quickly informed everyone within my family and close friends about these things first, as they were the ones given the privilege of using it before anyone else. The moment the news was shared, everyone quickly ran into the Buildings and began crafting their own Path Jewels, quickly enhancing their abilities to new and insane degrees. Even if their power would be reduced by 50%, they wouldn't be less insane. However, there was something else I wanted to try out first…! . . .
