*Ding!*
[Unsealing the Star Veins!]
[1%... 23%... 46%... 62%... 79%... 84%... 99%...]
*Ding!*
[Unsealing completed!]
[Warning!]
[Prepare yourself!]
[Integration will begin in 5 seconds!]
[5... 4... 3... 2... 1...]
"ARGHHHH!!!"
Souta screamed as intense pain assaulted his body. Even though he had high resistance against heat, he felt like he was being burned alive.
All the pain that he felt when he integrated the [Galaxy Eyes] and [Nebula Heart] was simultaneously appearing on his body.
It felt like he was being tortured.
The [Nebula Heart] on the right part of his chest was thumping wildly. Various veins sprouted on it and the veins slowly spread out inside his body.
It slowly connected on various organs in his body including his monster orb.
"ARGHHHH!!!"
All he could do now was scream.
*Ding!*
[Integration completed!]
When he saw the notification, he thought that he would be able to relax but he was wrong.
*Ding!*
[Fusing the Cosmic Parts!]
[1%...]
Souta opened his eyes widely. He couldn't even react as intense pain once again assaulted his body.
This time, it was much worse.
It felt as if his body was being crushed slowly.
"ARGHHHH!!"
Time passed slowly...
Drops of sweat fell on the ground as Souta breathe heavily. His chest was heaving up and down.
A minute had passed but it felt like eternity for him.
He glanced at his hand and saw that it was covered in sweat. His muscles were twitching uncontrollably.
"Fuck! I thought that I would die!"
His voice was trembling.
The physical pain that he experienced just now was worse than everything that he had experienced before in his entire life. All kinds of torture would pale in comparison to that.
He even suspected that his sense of pain was raised to the limit to achieve that kind of horrible feeling.
"Ugh! I'm feeling bad..."
Souta stood up and took a piece of cloth on top of the table. He used it to wipe the sweat on his body. Then, he sat down on the chair and focused his attention on the notification that he had received.
If he wasn't wrong, he heard several notifications.
It should be great considering that he completed the entire body part.
[Congratulations you've achieved the "Perfect" Cosmic Body!]
[Your body can now handle the power of Cosmic Authority!]
[Your title Cosmic Sign has been completed!]
[Cosmic Sign: Ophiuchus]
Effect: +300 to all stats, 10% physical damage, 20% energy damage, 20% energy resistance, 10% physical resistance, 30% immunity to abnormal status, +30 health recovery, +50 stamina recovery, +30 energy recovery, +500 health, +100 stamina, and +300 energy
This title only gives him "+100 to all stats" before but now that he integrated all the body parts it changed. The result was simply amazing and his battle power had soared once again with this.
He would be able to defeat the old man without using the [Soul Blood Mode].
But this wasn't the end.
His [Nebula Heart] had experienced an upgrade.
[Nebula Heart]: 1,000 » 2,000(Best Feram)
The notification says that all of his body parts had been upgraded.
[The Cosmic Body Parts unlocked its true potential!]
[The power of each part had been upgraded!]

[Level: 53 » 56]!
He reached level 56 in an instant. It was the same when he comprehended the [Archetype: Vajra Extremity] which increased his level by two.
Damn! This legacy was too good.
If his body was stronger at that time, then he wouldn't have to use his points like this. The legacy should've disappeared but thanks to the system for storing it in the empty store function it was saved. If the system didn't move at that time then he would've lost these abilities forever.
He had reached a new height of strength.
The foundation of his power was too solid. Only a few selected creatures would be able to fight him on equal ground on the same level.
Souta stood up and noticed that the barriers he set up in his room were shattered. He stretched out his body and exited his room.
When he opened the door, he saw Alice and the others looking at him.
"What's wrong?" He asked even though he already knew the answer.
"We just felt a strong wave of energy coming from your room, Souta," Isabella replied.
"Oh, I just reach the limit of my evolution. I think it's time that I reach the next level too." Souta said with a huge grin on his face.
"What?!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard his words. This was not the answer that they were expecting. Evolution for monsters was a big deal. They could only evolve a few times in their lives so if they do evolve their overall strength would experience a huge change.
Their ability would break through several levels.
"So I'll ask my superiors for a decent place for me to evolve."
Souta turned around as he waved his hand. Actually, he wanted to level up his skills first before he evolved but since everyone was advancing their power level, he guess that he should evolve.
"You can do anything that you wanted while I'm still gone."
He was about to open the door when a figure appeared before him.
Ohm!
A tall figure of a woman suddenly appeared in the room startling everyone. The woman's beauty was ethereal it was as if she wasn't a mortal.
She had long chestnut color hair. Her skin was white as snow and her lips were like a cherry. Her body was covered by pieces of exquisite armor but it couldn't hide the perfect curve that she had.
She had a noble demeanor. It was like she detached herself from this world.
"Hmm..."
The woman hummed as she looked at them one by one.
Souta opened his eyes in shock. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. When the woman looked behind him, he regained his senses.
He quickly went down on his right knee, placing his right hand on his chest, closing his eyes, then bowed his head slightly.
It was at this moment that he heard Eztein's voice behind him.
"W-Who are you?!"
His tone was filled with uncertainty. It was the same for everyone. They didn't know who's this unknown woman but their instinct wasn't working at all. They couldn't feel anything.
It was as if this woman was just an illusion. If they closed their eyes they wouldn't be able to feel her presence.
Souta turned his head and said in a strong tone, "Bow your heads!!"
"B-but!"
"Just bow your heads! Don't make me repeat myself!"
The temperature suddenly dropped as Souta emitted a powerful aura. He was serious.
In the end, everyone knelt down like Souta. It was their first time seeing him like this to them. It was like he was going to murder them if they didn't heed his words.
"You don't have to be like that to your people." The woman spoke softly.
"But..." Souta was about to say something but the woman cut his words.
"It's actually my fault for coming here without notifying you, my children." The woman said.
"It's not your fault," Souta said.
"You can stand up." The woman said softly. Her voice was like a melody that calmed everyone in the room.
"Yes, My Lady." Souta stood up and slowly stepped backward.
"It seems that everyone didn't know me so I should start by introducing myself." The woman giggled as she covered her mouth with her hand.
"B-Beautiful..." Eztein muttered in daze.
Souta glared at Eztein and said, "Keep your comments to yourself."
Eztein shut his mouth.
"Don't be shocked." The woman paused before she continued, "I am Athena, One of the Great Goddesses of Olympus, the Goddess of Athen's Champion."
That's right.
The woman that appeared before them was Goddess Athena. One of the few gods that Souta respected in the entire world.
The goddess that he served in the game.
