Chapter 493 - Veronica's Rank 14 Evolution!
-----
Veronica was not simply being embraced by the souls and being enhanced by them… No, she was being fused with these souls, thousands of souls that had come from all around Kritias, completely ignoring Hekaton's Transmigration Cycle!
In fact, he was being showered with errors all around, the God of Transmigration didn't know what was going on!
The birth of a new sovereign of souls and death was occurring, Veronica's entire soul was blazing and expanding endlessly, assimilating all these souls that willingly and happily merged with her!
Thousands of minds, millions of thoughts all emerging and fusing with her, her mind expanded exponentially, her entire perception of everything became wider, she was receiving great enlightenment like never before!
This evolution was way more than what she had expected, it was beyond all her expectations!
"It is time for an upgrade, at long last!" thought the Samsara System, as it continued to merge deeper into Veronica's soul, alongside all these souls and the overflowing energy they were continuously making! It was completely insane!
Veronica's entire soul blazed with power, like an enormous black flame that expanded all around, absorbing souls and all the energy it could, it was endlessly devouring it all!
Ervas was positioned a good distance from her, but he clearly saw how she was changing a lot, her cocoon made of spectral and ethereal mass made up of thousands… no, millions of souls now was constantly expanding!
Veronica's consciousness evolved, her perception of things became greater!
Suddenly the space around her began to distort, as large black-colored and slimy tree roots began to come out from the black holes that appeared around her, merging with her! These were the roots of her Chaos Death Tree, it was using its own body as a material to enhance her evolution even more!
The Chaos and Death energies began to combine as they distorted space and time around her, flowing with even more power from the chaos itself, flowing her entire being as it resembled an endlessly expanding mass of darkness.
FLASH!
And then, it was done!
All the power was suddenly compressed into her soul, combining once and for all into a complete entity, the souls, the chaos, the roots of the tree of death and chaos, everything had fused together!
Ervas watched with admiration, his crimson eyes sparkling with surprise and amazement.
"Incredible…" he said, as he glanced at Veronica be reborn anew!
Veronica's entire soul expanded all around, resembling a mass of millions of tiny souls constantly twisting around within chaos. The fragments of the Gods she had eaten were present, adorning it all as if it were a grotesque armor.
She had many limbs that resembled fleshy tentacles, large maws all around her soul, and the fragments of Kelsus were all fused with her, making up this grotesque form look even more "Real".
This was the new Veronica.
And her size was gargantuan, her soul was perhaps way above one hundred meters now, and it could keep expanding if she wanted.
Her metallic armor was present, and it quickly formed into a humanoid shape, she resembled a giant of more than one hundred meters, a beautiful yet incredibly intimidating, spiky, and maiden of black metal, her soul flowing out of her body like an endless realm of souls and chaos, her eyes flashing with bright crimson-red light and blue flames, black winds flowing around and black thunder emerging… she had indeed changed a lot.
"Ah! Did I evolve? What happened? EH?! I am gigantic! Ervas? Where are you?" she cried, rather clumsily and completely breaking the impression of her being intimidating…
"Veronica, I am down here… you just got very big," said Ervas, a tiny ant in front of her.
"Oh! Damn, alright, let's squeeze into a more compact form…" she said, quickly compacting her soul into her humanoid shape, and her armor into a dress, heels, and accessories.
"And done!" she said.
"You don't feel any weird? You just fused with around 1.340.300 souls, if I am correct," said Ervas.
"Yeah… I feel like I kind of has around a million or so minds, and I also got a bunch of memories. But don't worry, I am the same good ol' Veronica," she said, as she petted Ervas head cutely.
"Alright then… I will evolve now," said Ervas.
As Ervas went to evolve, Veronica checked her System Windows.
Ding!

And Veronica's evolution came packed with new Skills all around!
"Most of my offensive Skills merged together…." She thought, seeing how her javelin, axe, and blade techniques were now one, alongside archery, meaning that she had acquired an even better ability to generate weapons and launch them in midair… Like a certain King of Heroes.
She also acquired the ability to generate Divine-like material made into thread, upgrading her "armor" dress, and anything she was to make with it.
Additionally, her Illusion of Magic awakened, although she had still yet to abuse it…
Veronica really wondered why it awakened so soon before she was to fully use it, but it seems that the over-accumulation of Skill proficiency even enhanced Skills she would barely use, yet she still somehow inherently knew how to use the newly awakened and power-up versions.
And her elemental Skills all awakened into "dark versions" of themselves, such as black fires that burn souls, icy winds of black colors, her previously awakened black thunder had already given her the hint.
Occultism became the "Seeker of the Truth" which seemed to enhance Veronica's ability to comprehend the occult of all creation.
Divine Venom Secretion lets her edit the venom she created and gives her near-divine properties, increasing their effects to greater levels.
And lastly, her Stealth had evolved into Presence Concealment, becoming even better at concealing her presence.
After seeing all of this, Veronica decided to quickly change Jobs, as she felt that there was yet to awaken what she was feeling within her very being… She simply needed another step.
