131. Civilization Unlocked!

The monsters responsible for the Painter’s torment were equipped with these whip-like weapons above their carapace helmets, and they stroked the air in their direction when they sensed their presence. Their size was double that of the Suppressors, and they had a total of 6 muscular arms capable of crushing stone barehandedly.

They were strong. Their MAG DEF was enough to significantly mitigate the magical damage output of a Moon.

“B-BE CAREFUL! THEY’LL EAT –!”

However, they were still nothing compared to them. Frost possessed the Etched Coin infused with Beating Desires. This slightly buffed her group’s stats. It was miniscule, granting around 10 extra points, but she believed that it had the potential to continue snowballing to greater sizes.

Not that it mattered in this instance. Out of the eight present Frost took 4 out using her Touch of Golds, which pierced them repeatedly like a burrowing eel. Their bodies seemingly gave way to her bite, and only now did she suddenly notice that the DEF-nullifying attribute of her maw extended to the rest of her body so long as she used Punch.

Weapons? Sharpened edges? Legendary blades crafted by the finest of blacksmiths?

What for when her fists could literally eat those weapons as well.

Jury disappeared like a specter, annihilating one as she quickly moved to free the woman from the wall. Ignis and Ber took out the remaining three as Frost converted one third into an Etched Coin, and another into hefty bundles of golden coins.

The remnants were reserved for Ignis to enjoy.

“E-Eat... My word. You ate them. W-Wait a second! A prison break!? What’s happening outside right now!? I know I should be thanking you first but – Don’t tell me they’re gone mad and begun slaughtering us!” The woman, who was relatively normal looking aside from her canvas-like skin and her multicolored hair which appeared like painted brushstrokes.

“RELAX. Calm down. You’re safe right now! Tch. Look what they did to you... Listen to me. You’re a Painter. Do you know Ayel!?” Frost rapidly asked as Jury helped the woman onto her legs, allowing Frost to easily heal her as Ponea watched on, nibbling her thumb in pure envy.

Unfortunately, Frost did not have the time to comfort this woman.

“Amalgam of the Nexus. And I, the esteemed star of this staging ground. Both you and I are rulers. The hearts of the people beneath belong to us; as stars! There must only be one aspiration, less we all drown. Music! Vocals! Sinew strings and harmonious cries are the acknowledgement of our superposition!”

All suddenly fell silent. Frost nearly stopped moving entirely. Something deep within her soul ate at her as the voices of the others fell onto deaf ears. Civilization... and the perversion of it.

Frost, who came from a world where it was managed, understood that even it was not truly perfect.

But here... Here in Elysia, the methods of how these creatures ruled their people... how they hurt them... how they persecuted the innocents...

And how they believed her of all people to be the downfall of Civilization itself because of one falsely interpreted book.

She reared her head back, her eyes sent straight to the height of the city. They began to glow like beacons.

“Rulers... Rulers. That King of Puritas. His bastard son. The Beholders that can’t get things right. And you. All of you – ALL OF YOU! IS THAT WHAT A RULER IS IN YOUR CIVILIZATIONS!?”

< The Second State Has Manifested as Civilization >

Suddenly, the silhouette of a monumental diamond grew all the way back at the Triple Paw Complex. The structure was easily over a hundred meters in size, and its beautiful luster refracted the light of the star like a disco ball, shining countless ‘stars’ over the complex.

Not only that, but another miracle struck!

“Doubled... What the – Everything’s doubled!?” Res exclaimed in disbelief. “Our stats are all doubled!?”

“DOUBLED!?” Ber shouted

“HAHAHA! THAT’S MORE LIKE IT FROST!” Cer celebrated, reveling in her sudden might.

“Dou... Double...” Ignis whispered.

“Quadrupled...” Jury uttered in total disbelief.

The Diamond Counter’s effects stacked with her newfound abilities that arrived in the wake of her resounding connection with the affinity of Civilization. Her Touch of Golds lengthened to upwards of 50 meters, propelling her size to colossal scales.
