Chapter 1581 Young Demonic Yggdrasil Tree
Ding!
[The [Demonic Yggdrasil Tree Seedling (Rank 6: Peak Stage)] has successfully absorbed enough Demonic Energy! Ashlock has evolved into a the [Young Demonic Yggdrasil Tree (Rank 7: Initial Stage)]!]
[All their Stats have increased. They have acquired the Demonic Ability: [Miasmic Absorption]!]
Ashlock evolved, becoming ten times as large, now resembling a much larger and powerful demonic tree. He acquired a new ability that seemed to be related with the origins of his creation. Jonathan, the Demon of Technomancy, had made this species of demonic trees to cleanse the world from the Miasma left behind by the Chaos Plane invasion.
"So you can cleanse the world from Miasma, huh?" I wondered, as the demonic tree wiggled its many tentacle-roots, happy to have become stronger. "Now, the rate in which I gain Divine Power over time is quite nice. Everything in my Divine Realm produces some every day. So I think I can afford some more monsters. But we're done for today I believe. Let's go back."
I quickly disappeared from there, fusing back with my true body. I was currently eating lunch with my family after we worked in the Divine Treasure farm for a little while. I had prepared more meals using Chaos and Demonic Beasts meat, which rapidly increased everyone's resistance to the demonic energy damage and also enhanced the chaos element affinity with those that possessed it.
"Nom, nom, nom!" Drakda was enjoying himself a pile of roasted steaks. "Nam, nam!" And after finishing them in a few minutes, he quickly asked for seconds.
"More? Are you sure? You are eating way too much, Drakda! You're too tiny." Said Miranda. "Where is all that food going to?"
"He probably has a similar stomach than yours, like, some sort of dimensional stomach." Benladann joked.
"What?! That's… Actually that makes sense." Miranda nodded. "Well, I am quite surprised, nonetheless. Seeing Drakda for so many days, he definitely inherited more of his father than me. I mean, he's not a mass of Miasmic Mold for one."
"It seems he probably has this power hidden and hasn't awakened it yet." I said. "I've checked his status and there's nothing regarding Miasmic Mold yet. But I am sure he'll get that eventually, only becoming even stronger."
"That would be great, but I suppose its fine if he doesn't get anything right now. A baby with my powers wouldn't be… Something desirable at this moment." Miranda sighed.
"Nam, nam!!!" Drakda roared angrily, asking for more meat.
"Dear, be more polite when asking for food, okay? We are your parents, not your servants." Miranda said, giving him a head pat.
"Guuhh…" Drakda sighed, and then asked politely. "Nam, nam?"
"Fine, a bit more but that's about it. You have eaten too much." I quickly gave him a few more roasted steaks, potatoes, and other meals. Though he mostly ignored everything except meat.
As we ate, Benladra was constantly overflowing with her Chaos Dragon Aura. Slowly, her appearance suddenly shifted to her Chaos Dragon form in her humanoid appearance. Her silvery-white hair became dark purple, and her eyes turned deep red. Her blue skin became darker, and gained black tattoos resembling creatures of the night.
"Oh? I changed again… Oh?!" She gasped as she noticed her white scales became black and dark purple, and even her wings, which were adorably feathered, became sharp with black spines and purple scales. "I am… Wait, I am controlling the form?! I am not changing over and over! Wow!"
"Amazing, Benladra!" Benladann celebrated.
"You did it sweetie!" I clapped.
"I did it!" Benladra celebrated, standing up and rising her arms. A sudden beam of pure darkness and chaos was released from her hands as she did this.
BOOOM!
The Divine Realm shook, a huge hole was made, revealing the world outside for a few seconds before repairing itself as my Divine Power was spent to close the hole.
"O-Oops…" Benladra looked at the skies in disbelief.
"DRAKE! It happened again! Control your kids!" Fuyu complained.
"Hahaha! It's fine, it's fine. Do you have to get so angry?" I laughed it off. "Don't worry sweetie, papa won't get angry. I know you're still trying to learn the ropes."
"Ahhh… I'll go back to my original form for now, papa." She sighed, quickly shifting her appearance to the usual we knew.
She sat down and sighed, feeling slightly sad she couldn't properly control the more destructive and explosive power of the Chaos Attribute.
"Don't worry honey, you will get there eventually. Let's keep practicing in the Chaos Dragon Realm, alright?" Benladann asked.
"Okay…" Benladra nodded.
"Look what I got for you." I showed her a big cheeseburger I had just prepared. "Here, cheer up. You are progressing smoothly already!"
"Oooh, borgar!" Benladra got immediately happy, munching on the burger.
"I wish I could shift forms like big sis…" Sighed Kate. "I also want a hidden power. Don't I have any?"
"Well, you do have Matter Manipulation, you can use it partially now, but… The extent of such power is quite dangerous." I answered. "You have to keep practicing that, your technomancy, and your system magic. All of them are already incredibly unique. Don't be jealous of your sister, Kate."
"Nn, sorry… I didn't want to sound like that." Kate said. "I'm sure little sis got a lot of more powers to develop in the future! You're super strong and unique! Hmm! Maybe something I haven't seen you develop are your Spirit Powers! Don't Spirits have Spirit Magic and such?" Benladra wondered, trying to cheer her up.
"Right. I haven't practiced that at all…" Kate nodded. "I need to first learn how to use Spirit Energy."
"I think Pekora, and the Venerable of Dreams could teach you." I said. "How about taking those two aunties as your professors for a little while?"
"Sure." Kate seemed more excited to research a new power now. "I want that!"
"Good, I'll tell them later then." I nodded, giving her a head pat. "Now… Hm, when are you going to Skadi's Trial, Benladann?"
"Probably tomorrow… I don't want to delay it anymore." Benladann said. "I think Benladra will do it later though."
"I see, gotcha." I nodded. "I think I should ask the Ice Queen if Skadi can also invite Rakasha, he's a strong ice giant after all… Oh right, and we have to make something out of Tiamat's scale!"
There was still a lot to do.
