Chapter 626 Honeymoon In The Shadow Realm (4)
'Hm? Well, that's unexpected; hey, Tobs, it seems my assumption that already having the Limit-Breaker title would reduce the strain of a mass stat boost was incorrect.' Cynrik thought while stepping back and shielding his face from the heat radiating off Selene's body.
-Yes and no. You were correct in your assumption that Selene's life wouldn't be jeopardized; however, her body will still struggle to acclimate to such a significant increase in stat points.-
-It is no different than overfilling a gas tank, only in this case, instead of petrol, you have Mana, and that excess Mana has to go somewhere, or at the very least get burned off.-
-I will say there was absolutely zero hesitation in how Selene rapidly increased her levels. Starting first with her Primary, then Class, and even as we speak, she is allocating her free points.-
'I didn't expect her to jump right into it, but I guess she is a bit over-excited about going out to explore.' Understanding that it would take Selene a little while to finish up, Cynrik pulled out a chair from his inventory and sat down, waiting for her to complete the process.
Meanwhile, Selene was sweating buckets, and although she was experiencing a lot of pain physically, thanks to the significant increase in power, it was tolerable thanks to her high Will Power Stat.
As he waited patiently, a sudden thought popped into Cynrik's mind, and he felt the need to address something he noticed while reading Selene's info.
'Tobs, why did she get my PSN Resistance Stat? The other stuff makes sense, but the fact that she was able to get one of my Secondary Stats and even have it unlocked at 25% as mine seems like a bit of a stretch.
-Fuck if I know; maybe if you didn't continuously nut inside of her, there wouldn't be weird after-effects.-
Rolling her eyes and wearing a grossed-out expression, Tobs felt like crying. It was bad enough that she had to type out each notification before sending it to her hosts, but knowing about Cynrik and Selene's sex life seriously grossed her out to no end.
It was like walking in on her parents having sex, and she felt nothing except disgust every time the topic was brought up.
'Sheesh, no need to get all testy Tobs; it was just a question.' Smirking bitterly, Cynrik looked out the hut's window and activated [Mana Sight] to observe the situation outside.
'Sigh, as expected, there is absolutely no change in the particle density, I figured it would at the very least taper off a bit down here, but it seems that the Divine Particles will be sticking around for some time.'
-It's not that surprising, although there is a barrier separating the Shadow Realm and Reality, and there is a lack of non-Dark Varient Mana down here; that doesn't mean the Divine Particles will disperse any quicker than they would above.-
Floating off of Cynrik's shoulder, where she had been since Selene began her power leveling, Tobs flew over to the window sill, looked out over the vast ruinous area of the Shadow Realm, and scrunched up her face in thought.
'It sucks that we capped out at 15% here in the 5.5g zone, I was hoping that by staying here, we would be able to leach off the particles for a while, but alas, of course, things never come free, and easy.' Cynrik mused as he examined the abundant Divine Particles in detail.
-You should probably look behind you; that "phenomenon" you spoke of is about to trigger.-
While Cynrik was lost in thought and staring out into the Shadow Realm, Tobs brought him back on track, causing him to spin around just as an overbearing Aura pulsated from Selene's body.
Starting with a swirl of Royal Blue and Purple Aura, the large Astral Form of a Beautiful Woman with platinum blond hair and crystal blue eyes manifested behind Selene, unmoving and with a gentle, loving expression as she looked down on Cynrik.
"Freya..." Cynrik whispered under his breath as he felt a sense of sadness, no doubt attached to Odin's divinity, wash over him.
Her crystal blue eyes hid the sorrow and anguish she had experienced in her long lifetime, and as the astral form of Freya met Cynrik's gaze, her smile broadened before she looked down at Selene.
'This feeling...' Clutching at his chest, Cynrik could feel tears threatening to spill over, but he quickly reeled it in and offered the image of Freya a tender smile, akin to what a loving son would give his mother.
"I don't know if you are a fragment of her Soul or what you are, but thank you, Freya...thank you for saving my Selene and bringing her to me." Although he spoke in a whisper, Cynrik's words were from the heart.
Surprisingly, the Astral being seemed to have heard his words and looked back toward him and away from Selene before offering him a weak smile as a single tear drop rolled down her cheek, and she faded into nothingness, a sign that Selene had finished consolidating her new stats.
Unfortunately, she was unaware that the act of her pushing both her STR and DEX passed their original cap and into the limit-break territory had manifested the Astral Projected phenomenon, so Cynrik quickly straightened himself up before Selene opened her eyes.
"Fuck...that was rough..." Selene said with a voice filled with exhaustion as she fell onto her back on the bed.
"Hubby~ fire bath, please. I feel so gross and sweaty." Lying on her back and swinging her legs back and forth while they hung off the edge of the bed, Selene spoke with a coquettish tone.
"Heh, treating your beloved husband like a manservant now, are we, hmm...see if I don't punish you in bed later for that." Shaking his head but still rattled from what he had seen seconds earlier, Cynrik snapped his fingers, and a thin layer of BlackFire cleansed Selene's body from head to toe.
"Fufu, don't promise me a good time and not follow through, my beloved Maeur. So, are you ready for my awesome new Stats? Although it hurt like a mother fucker, it was totally worth it." Sitting up quickly and slightly hyper, Selene quickly sent her new Status to Cynrik when she saw him nod.

Reading it through, Cynrik let out a sigh before speaking.
"You know, I should have expected this...well, congratulations, you have finally surpassed me in something. Not only that, but you are the first of the three of us to reach the Tier-3 Limit-Break cap. Good job!" With a bitter smile, Cynrik walked over and gave Selene a soft peck on the lips before pulling her to her feet.
"Now, let's go explore!"
