Chapter 418 The Weird Options



Sometime later:

POV Vesuvius:

A blazing hot sphere of solar corona condensed a sphere burned within the dragon's divine kingdom. The heat of it bathed Vesuvius in its comfort as he prepared to finally evolve his secondary soul.

'Where did she go?' Vesuvius searched his entire divine kingdom, but the small dragon was gone. A slight concern arose within him, even suppressing his annoyance at her just leaving.

He simply felt like, at any moment, some madman with a giant sword would pop from behind a corner to decapitate and skin the young dragon.

'No, she is still a dragon... maybe a young one but still a dragon.' It was simply the right thing to do and let her go. It wasn't a style of dragons to care about their young too much, often leaving them in the wilderness long before adulthood.

He could see some merits into it, but he personally felt like it was the wrong approach, 'No wonder our population was always so small with so many dying young.'

He thought about sending his minions to find her, but in the end, he shook his head, 'She survived when she was even weaker, and now the continent is under my control there is nothing to worry about.'

The dragon could no longer suppress his curiosity at what the winter soul would offer him.

'Time to see how this secondary soul thing works.'

Ding!

//

Limited metamorphosis combined with 4 evolutions started...

Please select up to 5 from the following traits. The evolution of your winter soul and abilities gained from it will be generated from the selected properties (SN: Warning!!! Untested feature.):

[Opposites Attracts]: Normally opposing elements, one from the main soul and one from the secondary soul, will be attracted to synergize and fuse

[Opposites Repels]: The normally opposing elements will be repelled with extreme violence, creating deadly and explosive reactions. The more elements in the reactions, the more explosive they will be.

[Is absolute zero truly that absolute?]: Unlocks the true potential of the meaning of cold

[Cold? Hot? Arent they both the same?]: Empowering your fire element and boosts to it will also strengthen your frost element and vice versa, as they are both the same in their core.

[Magic Soul]: The soul born for magic and to rule over it. The stat growth of MAG from leveling of the secondary soul will increase 5 times. Your secondary soul will grant bonuses to all your magic powers.

[Souls Spell Circuit]: You can permanently engrave one spell circuit into your soul. You will gain one extra for every ten levels of the secondary soul above level 50. The spells from the engraved spell circuit will have their power boosted more than threefold, and their mana efficiency will also increase.

[Soul Breath]: You have a spare soul, allowing you to execute techniques too damaging for the pathetic one-souled creatures. Contains a deadly technique to feed pieces of your soul into your breath attacks, giving them the power to directly strike and attack the souls. Though what is its cost?

[Stellar Soul]: Let your secondary soul orbit your main one like planets orbit their stars. What will be its effect? No one knows... Maybe you will gain some insight? (SN: Seriously, there are no data present on the subject)

[Divine Soul Core]: The small core of concentrated divine energy imbued within the center of your soul. It allows you to store 3 additional droplets of divine energy (grows with the stats of the soul) + 1 DIV.

[Soul Perception]: Transform your soul and give it the "soul eye," allowing you to see other souls through physical obstacles

[The Remnants of Grudge]: Deep within the rekindled soul, the old grudge slumbers. Awaken it and merge it into the curse of winter.

[Soul Barrier]: Create a localized barrier from your crystalized soul. Its defense is incomparable, but when broken through, the damage will become worse, much worse.

[The Soul Frost]: Let your frosty soul chill, empowering all your abilities and affinities originating from or containing the frost element. Gives frost properties to all compatible abilities.

[The Soul Fire]: Ignite your soul to produce a soul fire, empowering all your abilities and affinities originating from or containing the fire. Gives fire properties to all compatible abilities.

[The Soul Electricity]: Let your soul crackle and spark with an electrical current running through it, empowering all your abilities and affinities originating from or containing the electricity. Gives electrical properties to all compatible abilities.

[The Flesh of Ice]: Your internal temperature drops, and your flesh will partially freeze into hard ice

[The Isolant Scales]: The body that witnessed and experienced both extremes of the temperature, giving its cell unusual insights and adaptations. Your scales and cells gain improved isolation capabilities against all types of energy.

[One with the body, one with the soul]: Your secondary soul will become closer to your body, fusing with and becoming one with it. The secondary soul's stat growth will focus on the body affecting stats. Your body might gain some unexpected spiritual properties.

[The Winter Poison]: Transforms all your poison glands to produce a terrifying poison that devours all the heat and freezes its victims from the inside out, leaving only statues of ice behind.

(AN: Hahaha, this will be interesting.)

'What the hell is this? I expected something different...' For the first time, Vesuvius felt like the system went insane. At first glance, he could see well-described and simple attributes. However, on the other hand, he could see a few that were mysterious at best and plain unpredictable, and potentially deadly at worst.

'What about possible weird interactions? What if I fuse my soul with my body and then let it orbit my second soul?' The image of its effect almost made him go insane, as he couldn't even begin to wrap his head around it.

'It probably makes sense as if the system's notes are truthful then it is likely its first time having to generate something like this.'

Seeing all the whacky and interesting attributes, he realized it would take him some time to decide and analyze them and their interactions.

Sadly the time was ticking and closing toward the server shutdown.

POV ?:

"Graaah! It still didn't go away!" A player in a colorful long tunic smashed his fist into the tree, snapping it in half with a single strike, the shockwave sweeping through the surrounding woods and making all the first panicky escape.

"No! Simply no!" The player collapsed to the muddy forest soil, the mud splashing on his long tunics. It was the worst kind of thing that could have happened to him. It was one of the rare and terrifying persistent status effects hunting him even after respawning.

'That dammed dragon cost me this much...'
