Ding!
[Congratulations! You have successfully evolved the [Divine Sentient Magical Dagger Fragment: Silva] by using a large quantity of Cosmic Treasures and other Resources!]
[The [Divine Sentient Magical Dagger Fragment: Silva (A Rank)] has successfully evolved into [Divine Cosmic Starlight Soul Knife: Silva (SS Rank)]!]
[The [Job Class]: [Divine Great Labyrinth Spirit: ★★] has Ranked Up to [Fragmented Cosmic Dungeon Spirit: ★★★★]!]
[The [Subclass]: [Greater Master Chef: ★★] has Ranked Up to [Cosmic Master Chef: ★★★★]!]
[Because the majority of Silva's original powers were weakened, most of her powers have evolved through the absorption of these new materials and have changed slightly to reflect that.]
[It is possible for Silva to regain such powers by once more merging with her missing remaining body. For now, her original abilities, which you couldn't channel properly, have bee different to reflect that she was initially inplete and is now evolving through that inpleteness into a new path.]
"Interesting, very interesting. So that's why she suddenly became a 'Fragmented Cosmic Dungeon Spirit' instead of a proper Labyrinth Spirit, huh?" I wondered. "And also why her Skills seem to have changed. Before evolving, she already couldn't enter her own dungeon, but it looks like things have changed. Silva, do you feel something now? Can you feel more connected to your other piece?"
"Kind of…!" she said, floating in front of me and releasing bright starlight. "I might need to grow stronger by leveling up… by cooking! And then… Maybe… um, maybe I could find them. The connection is faint and weak but has potential… for growth."
"Alright, that's good enough for me, to be honest," I nodded. "We'll definitely find your other parts too, and also everyone else. My kids are my priority too."
"It's fine, mama… I understand!" she said. She was better at speaking but still awkwardly cute. "I get it… Hmm, I want to… slice, slice…!"
"Looks like the evolution went well," Andromeda said. "She seems much stronger than before. Well, that's not hard to do when she was but a fragment of the original Silva before."
"Indeed," I nodded. "I wonder if Regal's metal dust helped. I added it to the mix."
"It sure did. She gained even more stats and power from that, but I wouldn't remend grinding dust from Regal! He's your Archdemon Crown. If it breaks, it could be bad," Andromeda said.
"You're not wrong. I won't do it again, for now," I said with a giggle. "Now let's check Silva's stats! I wonder how high they are. I'm sure she'll be doing more than just cooking, especially with my new swordsmanship skill I got from eating that divine power inside Medea's soul. It belonged to a Kami from that world, right?"
"Yes," Andromeda said. "It was the first taste you had of the Kami of that world, or that country in particular, Japan. As the System that has been acpanying you all this time, we've been able to analyze that world and its foundations. Every object, person, or area you encountered, we were able to further analyze it. Kami seem like very powerful Gods. Despite their loose hierarchies, we believe they're as strong as Cosmic-level beings, and even beyond. The fragment you ate was but a leftover divine power from a technique, and yet you gained so much power from it! Can you even imagine what fighting the real deal would be like?"
"A bit. I did eat that divinity containing a lot about him," I nodded. "Susanoo, the Sword God and brother of Amaterasu, the Sun Goddess and Ruler of the Kami. He's formidable, only second to his sister, the strongest Kami. I wonder how it would feel to fight him?"
"I wonder the same thing…" Andromeda said.
"Um, about this Earth…" Astraea stepped in. "Is that country Japan all there is to it? I've been curious."
"From what I can tell, no. At some point in the beginning, it was just Japan, though," I said. "But as the weeks passed, it had expanded to be an entire planet. Yes, a dungeon is an entire planet, but I guess that's nothing when you take into consideration it's a Cosmic Dungeon of sorts, managed by Constellations, which I don't know if they're really Constellations or not."
"I guess you weren't there all the time, Astraea, but yeah," Andromeda nodded. "It is indeed a big world, a replica of Earth! But not the one Master knows from the memories given to her by your father from a previous Reincarnated Soul, but from Frank's Earth, a parallel Earth from the one Master Kireina knows of. One filled with much strife and a secret dark past, alongside an even more secret 'underworld' where those who live within the paranormal world gather."
"Oh wow… sounds really interesting. I wish I could go…" sighed Astraea.
"I mean, you definitely could if you wanted," I nodded. "You can always leave a part of you here to manage the System."
"And I can manage it from there as well, making it faster for you to analyze that mysterious world, Andromeda!" Astraea said. "Don't you think?"
"I suppose. I am honestly not interested in going myself. I like it here," Andromeda said. "I was originally designed by your father as an A.I. assistant and nothing else to begin with, but I guess I've begun to like my job, even when Kireina-sama gave me a body and showed me love. Of course, I love being with her and enjoying a day with her family, but I like it here."
"I suppose that's fine too," I nodded. "No worries. However, it would still be convenient to have you directly there, not just through the system lens."
"Hm, then perhaps an arm would suffice?" she asked, as she detached her mechanical arm in a second, offering it to me. "Bring it over, and we can see what happens to it. Technically, it has my mind and all, after all."
"Interesting. Okay," I said with a nod. "We'll try and see what happens then, but for now, let's check Silva's status and then get moving. We've got a family meeting to enjoy."
