Chapter 486 - Veronica's Evolution!
-----
Veronica, touched Ervas shoulders as metallic threads surged from her fingers, entangling each other meticulously and forming a new set of clothes for him.
First came a shirt, then slippers, socks, pants, and even black shoes, after everything ended Ervas once more looked like a young member of royalty, or the son of a very rich Vampire…
In ten seconds, Ervas had a new set of clothes made entirely out of metallic threads, which Veronica was able to manipulate their density, softness, and more, making them perhaps even softer than silk.
"Thanks," said Ervas as he looked at his clothes.
"I made them exactly how they looked before, anyways, let's quickly change Jobs and Rank Up!" said Veronica, getting inside her Divine Realm with Ervas.
Just like Gods, they were able to deposit their shared Divine Realm within the Spatial Layers.
Kireina had already greeted them when everything ended, and also rushed inside the Divine Realm with them.
Time goes slowly inside the Divine Realm… or so it does since it upgraded itself with the two Trees, so they decided to do the Rank Up and Job change while floating in the middle of the void.
Veronica quickly sat cross-legged while floating in the void, as the System Windows showcased her the Evolution Options she had.
[Available Evolution Options]
[Rank 13: Great Divine All-Devouring Chaos Abyssal Phantom Living Armor Death Sovereign]
[Rank 13: Great Divine Dream-Seeking Nightmarish Phantom Hypnos Living Armor Death Sovereign]
"Rank 13 already! Let's see… I guess I shall pick… Huh. I don't know what to pick, there is a Chaos Evolution and then Hypnos… Wait, wouldn't Chaos be way better though? Wasn't he like a Primordial Deity? I might as well pick this one," thought Veronica.
Ding!
[You have selected the [Rank 13: Great Divine All-Devouring Chaos Abyssal Phantom Living Armor Death Sovereign] Available Evolution Option!]
[Initiating Evolution…]
The moment Veronica picked up this evolution, her entire body was engulfed in twisting darkness with several crimson-red, purple, and pink colors. She felt a bit startled, but let the cocoon of twisting chaos take over her body and soul, fusing itself with it and bringing her a new surge of power, her entire being felt like it was changing.
At some point, her soul began to dissolve itself, and sparks that seemed to be the fused fragmented souls of the Gods she had eaten alongside those of herself and Ervas which they accidentally ate also began to convulse, melting into an ethereal liquid of mystical essence.
The mass also included the fragments of the Demon God-King she had, alongside all the chaos, as if the chaos constantly contaminated everything with its miasma.
Several attributes began to surge within Veronica's soul, Death, Light/Darkness, Space, Chaos, and even Illusion…
FLASH!
Her metallic body was also affected, evolving and becoming of a higher grade, while her body continued to grow in size.
When the cocoon of Chaos dissipated, Veronica found herself being around 20 meters tall, she was literally a gigantic living armor…
"Geez, I keep getting bigger and bigger…" she sighed, glancing at her metallic body, which resembled a monstrous black knight, with every single inch of her metallic body decorated with monstrous paintings, sculptures of beasts roaring, skulls, or the faces of agonizing people…
Her helmet was large and had the shape of a skull, filled with spiky and sharp horns spiraling upwards, resembling a crown covered by phantasmal blue flames, while her back had a gigantic mass of abyssal shadows and chaos forming something of a mantle or a cape.
She really looked like something of utter dread, an entity that exuded divinity yet an infernal association with death.
Ding!

[The [Cursed Graveyard of the Dead Creation: Level 10] Skill has awakened into the [Gate of Death: Level 1] Skill!]
When Veronica finished evolving, several Skills awakened, and she also got a mysterious skill named Chaos.
It seems that her affinity and proficiency in creating clones had become so immense that she was now capable of exceeding her limits with their creation, even more, completely destroying her own limits.
Her Mana now could regenerate dozens of millions in just a single second, and it seemed near-instantaneous.
Her Chaos Attribute Magic has awakened into a greater form, containing even more amazing Spells and power to use… Veronica was adapting to the Chaos Attribute incredibly well.
The new Fused Souls Skill, and awakening from Soul Fusion, which let Ervas and Veronica fuse themselves (or with the souls of anyone that was willing), let Veronica fuse with a soul even better. It seemed that it was now possible for both souls' physical bodies to be separated or far away from each other while maintaining this fusion.
No, it wasn't as if their fused souls would stretch like a noodle, but it seemed to be as if they were able to fuse even without needing to make contact, and from far away, a mystical interdimensional connection, to an extent.
It seemed that it could also even be possible to leave large pieces of each other soul fused with the other, alongside many other things.
Perhaps after experiencing being sliced into pieces, their souls awakened a new ability through Fused Souls. Although Veronica didn't know if Ervas had the Skill, she knew that he might get it soon enough.
Through this ability, they were able to draw powers and abilities, alongside magic from each other even from far away, however, the farther away they were from each other the less they could draw.
However, this could be offset as the Skill leveled up.
After this, there was also the Gate of Death…
