Novel Full Chapter 682 - Interesting New Effects
-----
"This is great, but what could we make as a Cosmic Beast? And are they more worth it than Daos?" wondered Ervas.
"Certainly! Both have their pros and cons, Daos are mere passive effects, so you cannot really use them directly to fight, although some of them can bring a lot of power, it is not without its risks… And then there are Cosmic Beasts who can directly bring a lot of strength to your crew, at Supreme God Realm and above, they begin to develop Daos too, and most of their Law Comprehension is all 100%! So they are amazing fighters, even better than any summons you could create through other methods." Said the system.
The split souls considered their new Job Medals, which had the power to directly summon great god-realm monsters of amazing strength without issues, alongside having the ability to summon randomly a supreme god-realm if they had the luck… but this supreme god-realm summon wasn't as strong as a supreme god-realm supreme beast, not at all! Supreme beasts would be able to develop Daos naturally as if it were breathing at the stage of World Devourer-Rank, but these ones at Supreme God-Rank could also get some right away if the System tweaked them around.
In this way, Dao could offer new playstyles while Cosmic Beasts were a secure way to gather powerful allies, although… did they really had to make new ones? They had a massive group of divine beasts with them, all of them talented monsters that once were the weakest of them all.
"How much would it be to make a divine beast into a supreme god-realm cosmic beast?" asked Veronica.
"Half of what an egg would cost, but only great god-realm at rank 9/9 can do this! Of course, this doesn't seem hard to do for you, so I guess requirements are nothing." Said the system.
"Hm, for now we'll think about it, we don't want to be rash for the moment, but Fafnir Zahhak, Nidhogg and Ivy could be our priorities." Said Ervas.
"Indeed, they should- Ah! Wait, can I turn myself into a Cosmic Beast?!" asked Veronica.
"…I had not thought about it, you're technically a monster… and well, I don't know if it does or doesn't work in normal people, but the requirement of being great god-realm rank 9/9 still applies…" said the system.
"Hmm… What would happen if I turned myself into a Cosmic Beast, I wonder…" said Veronica.
"I don't know what could happen, but you should receive a substantial amount of new stats and power. I don't know exactly how much but a substantially great amount, alongside new Daos, maybe…" said the system.
"Hm, interesting. Maybe turning everyone into a Cosmic Beast is the way to go." Said Ervas.
"I-I wouldn't recommend it yet! There isn't any proof it works…" said the system.
"Well, I suppose we could offer ourselves one of these days, not now though." Said Ervas.
"Yeah, for now, let's relax, we are already slowly reaching the planet where we left the twins, I am rather excited to see how things are doing there!" said Veronica.
"I do too."
The split souls then spent the rest of the day with their friends and families, until a small discussion surged with Veronica and her wives.
"Y-You want to become a COSMIC BEAST?!" asked Anna.
"Isn't that weird and dangerous?" asked Shade.
"You girls can surely do it! Well, I don't know if Anna can but… Shade and Aqua should, you count as pseudo divine beasts of some sort." Said Veronica.
"I do?! What would I look like if I become cosmic?" asked aqua.
"I don't know but certainly cannot get prettier than you are, honey." Said Veronica.
"Awww~!" Aqua said, as she kissed Veronica and hugged her.
"A Cosmic Beast possess natural Dao, almost full Laws Comprehensions, a lot of Attribute particles, and even innate abilities of incredible effects… and to boot, there is the Cosmic Essence and the Cosmic Core, which is the next step after a Divine Core, isn't it?" wondered Shade.
"Kind of, Cosmic Beasts are a breed of their own in a way, but I don't really know how strong they truly are compared to their humanoid counterparts," Said Veronica.
"Hmm… I bet a lot stronger, perhaps. Do they have divine realms?" wondered Shade.
"No, Fafnir Zahhak lacks a divine realm, cosmic beasts are like divine beasts, they don't have one of those either. I guess you girls do have, making you exceptions, but I think that's because you've been guided and transformed through my powers." Said Veronica to Aqua and Shade.
"Hmm… I guess that's how it is!" said Aqua.
"Maybe if we become Cosmic Beasts our power could skyrocket easily." Said Shade.
"Right? It would be interesting…!" said Veronica.
"Ahh…" sighed Anna. She imagined one day Veronica coming back home transformed in some kind of giant monster saying "Look! I turned myself into a Cosmic Beast! I am Cosmic Veronica now!"…
Noticing the clear disgust in Anna's face, Veronica refrained herself from speaking about this again for the moment, although she clearly didn't understand why Anna was making such a fuss over it, she was certainly overexaggerating things out once more, more than it was really needed. She was perhaps overthinking it to the point of insanity, as her face was really twisting into strange patterns as of now…
"Okay, calm down!" cried Veronica.
"W-what kind of things are you imagining?" asked Shade.
"Maybe something scary?" wondered Aqua.
"Ugh… Never mind, don't… mind me, just ignore me." Sighed Anna. She imagined that Veronica was so crazy she would turn herself in some kind of horrid abomination just for fun… well, she had seen her become something like a massive titan made of black armor and covered in phantom flames while having an abyssal and spectral dark soul, but even then, that was pretty tame.
Even then, she was unaware that now that Veronica got her true body as Kelsus, she could transform into this Titan's true form, a massive being of darkness of the size of a planet…
