Chapter 663 Choosing An Evolution Path!

[Showcasing Evolution Options]

-----

[Kauket, the Endless Uncreated Darkness]

[Rank]: [S]

A hypothetical evolution of the Shadow Ghost Undead Monster Family. It is said that the ultimate form of a Shadow Ghost is that of an endless mantle of pure darkness that stretches around the entire world. It brings eternal night and eternal darkness, and nothing can oppose it but the might of equally strong S Ranked Monsters or the Gods themselves. Believed to be a calamity that would bring endless darkness, it is said that it would be an Uncreated Darkness, the purest form of Darkness, born of pure nothingness…

[Selene, the Titan Lady of the Eternal Moon]

[Rank]: [S]

Titans are said to be the original owners of the world of Yggdrasil, the first children of the World Tree and the protectors of everything. Their reign of peace was revoked by the Aesir Gods, who rebelled against their parents and destroyed them, killing the Primordial Titan, Ymir… However, amidst his death, Ymir's body and soul fragmented into endless pieces.

If such a Fragment is absorbed by a Ghost powerful enough to evolve into S Rank, it is possible to attain a new evolution. Selene, the name of a Titaness that was never born, yet that was predestined to, but could never happen. The Eternal Moon is her personification, and it is said that the moon itself was the daughter of Ymir, who was left behind, watching a world where her family was slaughtered. It is said that the Moonlight that would emanate from her body can reflect the might of the gods that slaughtered her father.

[Ereshkigal, the First Lady of the Underworld]

[Rank]: [S]

A being that has not been born yet, the hypothesized first lady of the underworld, an ultimate evolution of a female Undead that has ascended into the powerful S Rank. Ereshkigal might not exist, but the Undead that inhabit the Underworld believe that one day a lady of such power will come, someone that will both protect the underworld and lead a fight against the living.

She's said to be the future servant of Hel and wield a powerful Scythe that can reap the souls of the living, leading an endless army of the Undead against her foes. Her enchanting appearance is but a deceiving factor of her lethal beauty.

-----

[Scáthach, the Warrior Maiden of Death]

[Rank]: [S]

A mythical war maiden of ancient times, the Era of Heroes of Yggdrasil, when the races of the world battle against one another in endless conflicts and wars. In such times, Hel choose a representative, and her vessel, Scáthach. A warrior maiden with incredible fighting talent and abilities way beyond those of a normal human.

Her abilities were further enhanced as she gained the power to manipulate Death itself. However, utilizing her powers, she raised her own hero, a man named Cú Chulainn. She and her hero led an army of thousands of undead against the forces of the gods in the long, ancient times. A war maiden with a thousand battle techniques and the overpowering abilities of necromancy granted to her by Hel, a truly mythical and legendary figure.

Maria glanced across all her possible evolution options. Amongst them, there were some new things she had never seen before. However, she couldn't simply stay idle. She had to quickly decide, the future of everyone depended on her evolution.

Partner, Lucifer, and Emeraldine all were going all out, and even Root as well. Her soul wasn't going to last for much longer either. Her soul and mind flashed with a thousand thoughts, until finally, she made a choice.

What she needed the most was a power to oppose Thor, and a power that could even fight back against the Gods. Amongst the many beings that existed in the world of Yggdrasil, which ones were able to fight against them in a massive war that took everything on the god's side to win?

Titans, the natural enemy of the Aesir.

Ding!

[You have selected the [Selene, the Titan Lady of the Eternal Moon] [Rank]: [S] Evolution option!]

[Starting evolution…!]

FLASH!

Suddenly, as Maria started her evolution, her mind was suddenly transferred into a completely different place. Everything seemed shrouded by darkness, pitch black darkness. However, as she glanced deeper into this darkness, she saw two golden eyes glancing back at her.

"W-Wha…?! What's going on now?" Maria glanced at the two golden eyes, as she felt like she was about to die by the enormous pressure she sensed. It was so overwhelming that it made her shiver from her head to her foot. Her entire soul was trembling by a presence alone.

And this presence alone… it was that of nobody else but him.

The one and only…

"You're a strange one… I never expected you to take this Path, yet here we are…" He said, with a slow and old voice, like that of a grandpa. "I apologize for having looked down on you for merely being an Undead. I now understand you're more than you seem to be at first glance."

"Who… are you?" Maria was about to ask, but an answer came to her quicker than she could had imagined. A blue-colored crystal flew towards her, as she caught it almost instinctively.

The crystal glowed with a mysterious light, something she had never felt before. It felt all-encompassing, powerful, and domineering. As overwhelming as the mountains themselves.

Like a force of nature itself. Maria glanced at this crystal, as she felt strong herself, she felt vast like a mountain, and she felt powerful, powerful enough to go against anything…

"Take this. It is the last Fragment of my Soul." Said the voice. "Now, become the Eternal Moon that watches over the night sky. My last daughter. I shall name you… Selene."

FLAAAASH!

As the old man of overwhelming presence named her, Maria felt an incredible rush of power reach her soul, as she felt like she was constantly expanding, and growing bigger… and bigger.

"Teach those arrogant Aesir a good lesson!"

[Evolution has finished, you've evolved into [Selene, the Titan Lady of the Eternal Moon] [Rank]: [S]!]

[You've received [Ymir's Divine Protection]!]
