SWNOVELXO Chapter 1365: Evolution
-----
"Aurora and Nova will help me regulate the energies as I move them towards its destination." I said, as Aurora and Nova placed behind and in front of me respectively.
Aurora sat down behind me, touching my back with her hands, while Nova floated in front of my chest, placing her tiny hands in my chest.
"And what do I do? It doesn't seem like my help will be needed?" Eleanora was confused.
"No, Eleanora, you're also very important," I said. "I'll need you to use your demonic powers to regulate my own. Things might get a bit wild. It'll depend on all three of you that I don't have my chest blown up into pieces."
"E-Eh?" Eleanora was shocked. "Isn't this too risky, Blake? Why go so far? Your power is already…!"
"Eleanora."
"Hm?"
"I saw Fafnir. I faced him."
"What…?"
"He's strong."
"…Surely, of course he must be powerful, but can he even have compared to the Xenoid Queen or Mammon?"
"Yes."
"…?!"
"We cannot properly measure the Xenoid Queen but… he is definitely stronger than Mammon." I said. "I know I've grown stronger, much stronger than before. But he's beyond Bestellen too. I simply have no idea how a new dragon grew this powerful, he's not even ancient."
"Hmm…" Eleanora fell silent for a moment. "I suppose we need to get as stronger as possible then. Let me aid you."
"Well said." I nodded.
"So we're working on your Demonic Core?" Eleanora asked. "I suppose you'll evolve it then."
"I'll do more than what you think though… I'll be elevating it." I said. "Now let's begin. You should be able to do it in a spiritual form, possess my body, Eleanora."
"Okay!" She quickly turned into a spectral, ghostly form of red color, a pure spiritual form that could pass through physical objects and more.
She entered my body and positioned herself inside, usually we could even use Spirit Fusion like this, but it was better to remain in this form for the moment.
"Alright, let's begin."
I released all the energy at once, both the accumulated power and the electromagnetic energies. Letting my Physique, Magic Circle, Mana Core, Psyche, and Demon Core absorb it all.
While everything else absorbed this power naturally, Eleanora, Aurora, and Nova controlled the electromagnetic energy and the demonic energy, fully injecting it into the demon core.
FLAAAASH!
Crack, crack…!
And instantly, cracks appeared through the sphere, as electricity emerged from it constantly.
"I-It's beginning to break, Blake! Stop it!"
Eleanora panicked a little.
"It seems your Demon Core cannot take on all this energy, master, it's not the same as Neutonium Core after all…"
Aurora was worried.
"Wawaaah!"
Nova was… worried, I think.
"Don't worry," I said, as I released my Umbral Crimson Aura inside of my chest and held my Demon Core tightly together. "Nova, use the power of the Golden Pearls of Hope and infuse it all inside of the demon core even if it's shattering. Aurora, do the same with your energy, try to crystalize this power. Eleanora, continue infusing and controlling the demonic energy so it goes back inside.
"Y-Yes!"
"Okay…!"
"Oway!"
The trio nodded, doing as I told them. Golden, sparkling power was infused into my body, my demonic core unwillingly had to siphon it all, mixed with demonic energy.
FLUOSH!
Crack, crack…!
CRACK!
At the same time, a big crack appeared in the middle of the core, but I didn't care, staying concentrated on the task.
If this works as I think it should…
Crack, crack…!
CRACK!
"Blake! It's going to break at any moment! If you're going to do something, do it now!"
Eleanora cried, panicking.
CRACK!
Yes, it should be ready by now.
While holding my demon core together tightly using my Umbral Crimson Shadows, I quickly used another power.
Naturally, the power of Fusion, Creation, and Equivalent Matter Exchange.
"I sacrifice as many materials as you need, combine it all!"
FLUOOOSH!
A balance appeared behind me, as I saw many Spirit Orbs, Monster Corpses, and Gold being used as the price.
Rapidly, everything condensed quickly, and even Aurora, Nova, and Eleanora's powers and essence was assimilated.
I didn't expect that to happen, but… Perhaps it might help them grow stronger.
Or maybe for Aurora and Nova to also develop individuality?
We'll have to see…
BOOOMMM!!!
And right after that, my Aura erupted, resembling a volcano.
A golden, red, and blue colored beam reached the skies for a moment, making my surroundings tremble.
The ruined house I was sitting on quickly shattered and crumbled down to pieces.
CRAAASH!
And yet, it quickly disappeared, turning into ashes…
"…"
I smiled, feeling refreshed.
My entire body had suddenly grown taller, as if I had aged a year.
I also became… much more muscular than before.
My black hair had grown even longer, almost resembling the same length as my previous life.
"Haaah… Haaah… Haaah…"
As I gasped for air, I looked at my hands, sparks of holden, red, and blue electricity seemed to come out at will.
And also black and red miasma-like shadows…
My Umbral Crimson Power was also fused into the Demon Core?!
Amazing!
This core…
Just what sort of monstrosity did I make?
Hahah, even I get scared and surprised of the insanity I can achieve now.
My previous life could have never imagined reaching such lengths.
If I had used nanomachines, the results could have been even more surprising, but I decided not to, I didn't want to take more risks than I already did.
But the core wasn't the only thing that worked, it feels as if it expanded everywhere around me…
My physique, my magic circle, mana core, and even my psyche are now connected to it.
"Are you girls alright?"
I called for them, as they suddenly appeared by my side.
"Yeah, we're fine… but I feel weird…?" Eleanora wondered. "Like… I now have… something else? Like… if I was connected to two Spirit Orbs now?"
Eleanora looked mostly the same as before, though her red hair was… even redder, and her horns became longer.
"Hmm?" Aurora looked at her spiritual appearance. "I also feel strange, before I wasn't quite connected as much with you master, the Card seemed much more… "outside" than what I feel now. Is his how Eleanora and the other Spirits feel?"
"Waow!" Nova said.
The two of them had also undergone some changes…
