Meanwhile, within Alfheim, Ervas sat down atop a giant tree, where he decided to evolve.
He had already been explained most of the things that were explained to Veronica and knew about the unrefined Primordial Essence being the actual EXP, and more.
Ervas was rather expectant to see in what he could evolve.
Unlike Veronica, his affinities were primarily inclined towards the brighter side of Light, Life, Void, and Nature Attributes, which showed off on his attribute particles.
However, as he had devoured Bestellen, there were a ton of new elemental divinities mixed in there… So it was probably quite likely that he would get something else.
"So I can evolve up to Rank 5 Great Deity, just like Veronica, right?" asked Ervas.
"Indeed! After the evolutions, change Jobs and you'll finally have the true power you gathered from all these fights," said the System.
"I see. Then let's get to it without more delay," said Ervas.
Ervas quickly activated the evolution tab as he was revealed the evolution options.
[Evolution Options]
[Great Divine Chimera Demon Beast King of Iridescent Emerald Winds]
[Great Divine Chimera Demon Beast King of Golden Sunlight]
"Two options…"
Ervas glanced at the two options and seemed mildly interested in taking both. However, the system told her that he had to pick one… well, the other option would remain as a possibility for the next evolution as well.
Ding!
[You choose the [Great Divine Chimera Demon Beast King of Iridescent Emerald Winds] Evolution!]
Ervas was quickly encapsulated into a cocoon of winds, spiraling around him constantly.
His body began to fuse with the wind as his mind suddenly began to see several visions. His mind was sent through some kind of dream.
In such a dream, he was the wind. He flowed around freely through the entire world. Sometimes he was strong and carried with him many things, and other times he was soothing, calm, and easily caressed the living beings within the world…
Ervas opened his eyes once more as the evolution seemed to be over.
Ding!
[You have ranked up to [Great Deity: Rank 2/9]!]
[You evolved into [Great Divine Chimera Demon Beast King of Iridescent Emerald Winds]!]
[All your stats have increased]
[The Levels of several Skills have increased]
[You gained the [Divinity: Iridescent Emerald Winds]
[Divinity: Iridescent Emerald Winds] has been integrated into the [God] Skill!]
Ervas felt like the wind had become a deeper part of himself, as his eyes sometimes flashed with emerald light…
"Interesting…"
However, he quickly decided to move to the next evolution to not waste much time.
[Evolution Options]
[Great Divine Chimera Demon Beast King of Bright Stellar Cosmos]
[Great Divine Chimera Demon Beast King of the Crimson Lifeblood Sea]
[Great Divine Chimera Demon Beast King of Golden Sunlight]
"Two new evolutions this time? Hmm… This."
Ervas promptly choose his next evolution after thinking a lot. But due to his mind being so fast, it was like just a few seconds…
Ding!
[You choose the [Great Divine Chimera Demon Beast King of Bright Stellar Cosmos] Evolution Option!]
A moment after this pick, Ervas was encapsulated into bright stellar lights, as he felt like he was a star.
It seemed that every evolution would bring this strange sensation, but as of now, he experienced what was being a star and even what was traveling through the cosmos… although he had already experienced it, it was still quite the rich experience.
And then… Ervas opened his eyes.
Ding!
[You have ranked up to [Great Deity: Rank 3/9]!]
[You evolved into [Great Divine Chimera Demon Beast King of Bright Stellar Cosmos]!]
[All your stats have increased]
[The Levels of several Skills have increased]
[You gained the [Divinity: Bright Stellar Cosmos]
[Divinity: Bright Stellar Cosmos] has been integrated into the [God] Skill!]
Ervas felt a sudden burst in power once more, as he glanced at his appearance and his aura of light, stars, and winds… his attribute particles related to these elements had increased accordingly.
He promptly glanced at his evolution options yet again.
[Evolution Options]
[Great Divine Chimera Demon Beast King of Bright Light and Lawful Fate]
[Great Divine Chimera Demon Beast King of the Crimson Lifeblood Sea]
[Great Divine Chimera Demon Beast King of Golden Sunlight]
"Oh… this one option is quite obvious…"
Ding!
[You choose the [Great Divine Chimera Demon Beast King of Bright Light and Lawful Fate] Evolution Option!]
A sudden flash of bright white and yellow light hit Ervas entire body, exploding into a wave of shockwaves of iridescent colors. His mind rushed with visions of what Bestellen's true meaning was, the meaning of someone that represented law and fate… it was a power that seemed to weigh on the god's shoulders, and now it was passed over to Ervas and Veronica.
He opened his eyes once more, unchanged, but his comprehension of such elements had increased.
Ding!
[You have ranked up to [Great Deity: Rank 4/9]!]
[You evolved into [Great Divine Chimera Demon Beast King of Bright Light and Lawful Fate]!]
[All your stats have increased]
[The Levels of several Skills have increased]
[You gained the [Divinity: Bright Light and Lawful Fate]
[Divinity: Bright Light and Lawful Fate] has been integrated into the [God] Skill!]
"I suppose he's already dead… There's no point in despising him. Although the one in here is still alive, the grudge was against the one we killed," thought Ervas, as he glanced at his next evolution options…
[Evolution Options]
[Great Divine Chimera Demon Beast King of Bountiful Life and Wild Beasts]
[Great Divine Chimera Demon Beast King of the Crimson Lifeblood Sea]
[Great Divine Chimera Demon Beast King of Golden Sunlight]
"Hm… I always pick the new option…" sighed Ervas.
Ding!
[You choose the [Great Divine Chimera Demon Beast King of Bountiful Life and Wild Beasts] Evolution Option!]
As Ervas was proficient in life already, the visions he saw were brief, and he immediately moved towards the gains.
Ding!
[You have ranked up to [Great Deity: Rank 5/9]!]
[You evolved into [Great Divine Chimera Demon Beast King of Bountiful Life and Wild Beasts]!]
[All your stats have increased]
[The Levels of several Skills have increased]
[You gained the [Divinity: Bountiful Life and Wild Beasts]
[Divinity: Bountiful Life and Wild Beasts] has been integrated into the [God] Skill!]
The moment Ervas evolved, he felt a rush of new powers surging through his entire body… this was the power of a Great Deity who had reached Rank 5!
"Impressive…"
He also noticed that his skills leveled up a lot, and some were about to awaken the moment he was to change Jobs, most likely.
"Great, you've refined a large amount of Primordial Essence. Can you feel it? This is the power you've accumulated. Evolving and changing Jobs will help you refine it and convert it into your Primordial Essence dwelling within the Origin Core of your Soul. Like this, your stats had also skyrocketed," said the System, as Ervas nodded rather contently.
"Indeed. Now, time to change Jobs. I do wonder what Jobs might arise now that I've become this strong… Oh, wait, how many times can I change Jobs?" asked Ervas.
"Around 3 times. You can pick any Job. Just like evolution exp, job exp has accumulated enough for that, which is also unrefined Primordial Essence," said the System.
"I see, let's get to it," said Ervas.
