Just like Stardusts, which birthed the Cardinal World and served as Veldanava’s primal power.

They were also the foundation of all skills, the very essence of the Cardinal World!

Damien aimed to surpass the former Star King Dragon.

He had a clear direction.

To become a Dragon God of Creation, bearing infinite worldviews and wielding the all-encompassing power of the universe!

“Want to join me?”

“Become my companion and climb to greater heights together?”

Damien reverted from his dragon god form to his human state, approaching Velzard and extending a hand: “Velzard-nee?”

“Hmph!”

“Calling me that so eagerly now, huh?”

Velzard pouted, sensing Damien’s ulterior motives.

But she truly couldn’t refuse his offer.

To grow stronger, evolve, defeat formidable foes, and surpass Veldanava.

She might never fully catch up to Damien.

But if she couldn’t even try to keep up, wouldn’t she just fall further behind?

‘At the very least…’

Velzard thought: ‘I need to fulfill my duty as a big sister and let you have your fun!’

“Looks like you’ve agreed.”

“Then, please don’t resist…”

Damien began establishing a soul connection with Velzard, and a vassal contract entered her mind.

Soon, Velzard understood his intent.

As the defeated party, she naturally wouldn’t resist Damien’s will.

Moreover, she was eager… eager for the path Damien was showing her.

“Huh?!”

But before Velzard could indulge in visions of the future…

The silver-haired girl’s expression changed dramatically!

No misunderstanding here… Damien hadn’t done anything, nor had he tampered with the contract.

“How?!”

Velzard’s eyes widened in shock, while Damien quickly stepped back, giving his newfound kin sister some space.

[Ultimate Skill ‘Lord of Patience’ begins evolution attempt]

[Attempt failed]

[Ultimate Skill ‘Lord of Patience’ integrates Ultimate Skill ‘Lord of Envy’, begins evolution attempt]

[Evolution successful]

[Acquired Ultimate Skill ‘Lord of Divine Ice – Cthulhu’]

“My magicules… they’ve increased so much?”

Velzard sensed the changes after becoming Damien’s vassal: “No, it’s more than that… this strange feeling…”

“You little brat!!”

Suddenly, Velzard looked up, staring at Damien: “You were fighting me with this kind of physical condition?!”

Magicule Solidification!

Equating magicules with physical strength!

A seemingly simple ability description, yet it held terrifyingly unimaginable effects.

For a straightforward comparison…

With Damien’s 250 million magicules, under Magicule Solidification, his physical defense could withstand a full-powered strike from Velzard’s Lord of Patience head-on.

What kind of concept was that?!

If Damien raised his magicule cap further in his dragon god form…

He could just stand there, and even Velzard with four Ultimates might not breach his defense!

“What an absurd skill.”

“And this power called Rings of Divinity…”

Velzard was nearly in tears: “This isn’t just holding back… you were toying with me!”

[Special Skills: Magicule Solidification (inheritable), Stardust Manipulation (non-inheritable), Rings of Divinity (inheritable), Command Seals (inheritable), Dragon God Transformation (non-inheritable)]

These were the five Special Skills Damien possessed.

Among them, Magicule Solidification, Rings of Divinity, and Command Seals had evolved from non-inheritable to potentially inheritable with Damien’s growth.

The conditions for inheritance depended on the vassal.

For example, Magicule Solidification had a low threshold.

Anyone who became Damien’s vassal could gain it instantly, balancing magicules and physical strength to become a hexagonal warrior.

Then there were the Rings of Divinity and Command Seals.

Their thresholds were high, requiring magicules refined to at least 50 million in the Catastrophe realm to appear in a vassal’s skill list.

[Velzard]

[Race: True Dragon → Dragon God]

[Magicules: 80 million (Catastrophe realm) → 160 million (Divine realm)]

[Ultimate Skill: Lord of Divine Ice – Cthulhu (Transcendent Ultimate)]

[Special Skills: Magicule Solidification, Rings of Divinity, Command Seals, Dragon God Transformation (distinct from Damien’s, unique to Velzard)]

“So strong…”

Velzard hadn’t expected that Damien’s ‘join me’ was so literal.

Just by becoming his vassal, she gained such immense power from him.

First, her magicules reached the Divine realm she had long dreamed of.

She also acquired a Transcendent Ultimate, Lord of Divine Ice, to match that power.

Moreover, Magicule Solidification turned her into a perfect all-rounder with no weaknesses.

“You…”

At this moment, Velzard grew uncharactOgerpontically shy: “Why are you so good to me?”

Even as kin, they were just that… kin.

As for the ‘sister’ talk…

That was mostly her own wishful thinking; Damien had no obligation to acknowledge it.

Yet now, Damien set aside past grudges and granted her such a massive boost.

This breakthrough was nothing short of earth-shattering.

Velzard was confident.

The current her could easily crush her past self, even without using the Rings of Divinity or Command Seals.

Even against the Lord of Darkness Guy…

If she stored enough Rings of Divinity, Velzard felt she could one-shot him.

‘Use Command Seals for an absolute lockdown, then unleash the power of several Rings.’

‘Guy wouldn’t even have time to react before being blasted to bits.’

Only after gaining this power did Velzard realize how laughable her challenge to Damien had been.

Thankfully, Damien hadn’t treated her as an enemy.

Otherwise, that combo would’ve been her fate.

“You want to be my sister, right?”

“Uh…”

Velzard felt a bit embarrassed.

Her ‘sister’ talk, judging by how she treated Veldora, clearly wasn’t about a wholesome sibling bond.

“I, uh…”

Is that really okay?”

“Yeah.”

Damien smiled, “Who’d refuse a gentle sister?”

“I’ll learn how to be an excellent sister!”

Without hesitation, Velzard firmly declared her resolve.
