I Have 10,000 SSS Rank Villains In My System Space Chapter 399: Evolution

"What is happening...?" Sofia suddenly questioned, her tone shifting from calm to one brimming with true shock and wonder while observing Maria’s form gradually lifting off the wooden counter. The spectacle before her eyes was something utterly unprecedented. Maria remained out cold, her arms and legs limp, head cocked a bit to one side, but she hovered mid-air as though gravity had ceased to affect her completely. Nearby, bizarre energies started converging—initially as slim strands, then robust flows of light and shadow coiling like animated streamers.

Hues started emerging in the atmosphere encircling Maria’s figure.

Far beyond typical magical glow.

These forces ran deeper, felt weightier, and carried an oddly grand presence. Dense dark mana, smothering and nearly viscous, amassed around her like thunderheads centering on one spot. Concurrently, contrasting energy streams surfaced, wholly dissimilar. They gleamed with peculiar splendor, akin to pieces of cosmic principles twisting into visible reality. To Sofia, it resembled a star-filled vault abruptly condensing into a solitary nexus.

Maria’s flowing sky-blue locks gradually lifted as if buoyed in liquid, undulating gently near her face. The tresses shimmered softly amid the encircling powers. The whole display seemed surreal, reminiscent of an old legend depicting a human ascending through the cosmos’ grace.

The dark mana compacted closer to Maria’s frame, writhing like animated vapor. Meanwhile, the cosmic powers—those abstract ties to universal principles—interlaced with the gloom, blending seamlessly. These rival forces avoided conflict, instead orbiting her in unison, twirling like paired galaxies sharing a core.

With Maria as that core.

Though no outward physical shift was evident yet, a core change was unmistakably taking shape within her. The powers circling her weren’t haphazard; they were stabilizing, orienting, integrating profoundly into her essence. It was like an unseen framework building in her spirit, endorsed and aided by the cosmos.

The shop’s air thickened noticeably.

It now bore an odd weight, the faint aura of proximity to vast might.

Sofia kept her gaze fixed on Maria, murmuring once more.

"What... is this...?"

Razeal lingered at her side, gazing with equal focus.

"I... don’t actually know," he confessed deliberately. Rare doubt colored his words. "But I think... the embodiment of the concept has started."

Sofia never glanced away from Maria.

"Is it...?"

Her stare intensified, scrutinizing the levitating form before them.

Both froze in place, witnessing the metamorphosis progress.

Razeal held some reservations about his guess. Doubts swirled rapidly as he dissected the scene rationally. His initial scheme varied a touch. He’d anticipated Maria finishing the vampire shift first—waking as a vampire, then sipping his blood straight.

Just then would the fierce bliss and desire from the vampiric link elevate her emotions to meet the embodiment criteria.

Yet that phase remained pending.

She stayed asleep. No bite. No deliberate blood intake. The rite had only halfway completed the vampiric shift. Still... the conceptual stirrings had ignited.

Razeal’s brow furrowed as insight dawned. Hold on... might the pleasure surge stem from the ritual alone? He recalled turning Merisa earlier; she’d lost all composure, unable to stand or reason amid the rapture. The shift’s ecstasy had swamped her utterly, buckling her under waves of delight. Was it identical here? If the blood rite sparked potent enough euphoria... Maria could have hit the lust concept’s resonance mark.

Perhaps that sufficed. And if true... it signaled something key. The clash Villey noted—the Wrath versus Lust struggle within Maria—might have resolved.

Lust had claimed victory. Now the concept initiated full fusion.

Razeal lacked full certainty, but beholding Maria aloft over the table, cosmic forces churning like a tempest around her, the theory rang true. Absent conceptual embodiment... this display defied logic. No standard vampire turn produced this. Merisa’s lacked cosmic flares, existential laws, or conceptual displays. Hers was mere fleshly change. This transcended. Thus, the concept merged already.

"Yeah... it must be that," Razeal whispered to himself.

Yet despite his emerging conviction, a glaring issue persisted. His grasp on conceptual embodiment stayed shallow. Insights into cosmic laws, concepts, primordial powers? Scant—mere hypotheses, snippets, logical threads, no deep lore.

Ordinarily, he’d query Villey. No longer viable. Post prior events, relying on the system spelled folly.

Sofia grasped concepts as godhood paths, but embodiment’s workings likely eluded her too.

Razeal’s gaze tightened in thought.

Then realization struck.

"Ah... right," he muttered softly. I can consult them. Nearly overlooked. Razeal’s mind turned inward, summoning the system display.

The customary see-through interface materialized in his sight. His attention snapped to a long-neglected tool. The live-stream feature.

Linking him to myriad villains observing from afar. Truthfully, he’d sidelined it for what seemed forever.

Life’s chaos had piled up lately—events, tasks, returns, foolish insights.

Thus, the stream faded to irrelevance.

Reactivating it triggered instant uproar. The distant villains bristled. The chat surged wildly. From their view... Razeal had ghosted them utterly.

They’d tracked it all—the clashes, rites, turmoil—yet he’d scarcely noted them.

Backlog erupted: reactions, gripes, slurs, mockery. Flooding upon his return. Their ire at prolonged neglect was plain.

Razeal wasted no moment as the live-stream unfurled mentally. Amid the frenzy of unread floods... he bypassed nearly everything. No time for that nonsense.

His mind locked on the pressing query. Skipping the backlog, he typed directly.

"Hey guys... is the process of embodying the concept already beginning? Or is something else happening here?"

The query blasted out direct and curt. After all, that audience had viewed it all—the rite, Maria’s shift, the cosmic surge cloaking her suspended form. If any could identify this, they could... all at that tier, having undergone it themselves.

Yet no reply came...

The chat detonated.

Not with answers.

With banter.

Ancestor Xue led off.

Ancestor Xue: Oh? Look who finally returned.

See? The child only remembers us when he needs something. Utterly disrespectful and selfish behavior... and yet he still expects help.. Hehh..

Razeal eyed the note fleetingly, unmoved.

Zenocide: Being accused and betrayed by your own family... Now I understand the source of your gloominess. It is deeply concerning but also very understandable. Well you are always welcome in my flower garden if you need peace. Also congratulations on your marriage. I’m very happy for you.

Vampire Progenitor: Ahhh... you’ve returned. Congratulations on turning your second prey into a family member. It must be a wonderful feeling.. I remember my first and second time.. Ahh such nostalgia.. Well anyways.. I’m quite excited to see how your lineage develops. And what you did to that world earlier... magnificent... Truly magnificent.

Lucifer: This is the most meaningful and entertaining event I have witnessed in eons. The ritual you performed... the great awakening of darkness... And now the birth of a new Sin.. Even i had never caused things like what you did..

Admiration tinged his words.

Lucifer: What a magnificent sight... Also Congratulations. No wonder the Book of Eventual Evil chose you.

Razeal scanned swiftly, hunting specifics. The villains dove into recaps—the rite, shift, new concept’s rise. None tackled his ask.

Zara and Tongue stayed mute, per usual.

Others just chattered.

Razeal skipped deeper.

No leisure.

The shop’s drama demanded priority.

Another message fired.

"Sorry guys. I’ll talk with all of you properly later... But something important is happening right now."

Then targeted precisely.

"Lucifer... can you answer something for me?"

Brief lull, then:

"Is she actually embodying the Sin of Lust right now or not? And is the process going successfully?"

"And if possible... could you explain what exactly is happening?"

Now aimed solely at one.

Lucifer.

If any there mastered sins, demonic ideas, ancient dark... it was him, naturally the smart move.

Razeal’s reasoning was straightforward.

This concerned a Sin’s rise.

Lucifer ruled Hell primordially.

He’d recognize the signs.

Naming Lucifer outright hushed the torrent.

Then silenced it.

Onlookers grasped instantly.

He’d picked one responder.

Not them.

Egos ignited.

No ask, no aid.

Quiet tension gripped the feed.

Lucifer took no slight.

Amusement lit him.

Greatly.

From start, Lucifer saw value in allying with Razeal—far more fun and gain than rivals’ jabs.

Plus...

This unfolding gripped him.

A fresh Sin birthing in a darkless realm?

Prime spectacle.

Lucifer’s reply surfaced serene.

Lucifer: Of course.

Subtle cordiality underlay it.

Lucifer: What exactly would you like to know?

Razeal fired back swift.

"Everything.. I just had asked" he replied immediately.

Spare glance at Maria’s suspended form.

Her encircling forces raged fiercer.

Dark mana whirled like tempests; cosmic concepts gleamed as universal laws interlacing.

Focus reverted to the display.

"And is there anything I should be careful about right now?"

For all its grandeur...

Stability? Peril? Imminent blast?

Unknown.

Lucifer: Yes, the synchronization between this girl and the Sin of Lust has already begun. The conceptual resonance has clearly started. I strongly advise you not to interfere with her in any way, nor allow anything else to disturb this process. At this stage, interference would be extremely dangerous and unnecessary. The process simply requires time. If left alone, she will fully harmonize with the concept. From what I can observe, everything is proceeding perfectly.. So yes dont worry about anything.. The conceptual alignment is clean, stable, and progressing naturally. This will undoubtedly succeed as long as no external force disrupts it. And.. also Congratulations.. What you are witnessing right now is a truly monumental moment.

Lucifer’s text stretched on, but Razeal skimmed. Key facts first. The rest bloomed into his flair—epic lauds, dark’s resurgence in verse, prophetic flair over utility.

Core takeaway: unambiguous.

Razeal dipped his head faintly, done with essentials. Lucifer’s word on start and steadiness? Reliable. No motive to deceive, especially courting favor.

Eyes returned to Maria.

Still suspended over the counter, upheld by her energy maelstrom. Dark mana stormed vividly; prismatic conceptual threads wove through ether into being.

Back to system.

"So how long will it take?" he queried Lucifer evenly.

Reply prompt.

Lucifer: Not very long. Since the conceptual law has only just been born in this reality, it is still extremely weak and fragile. That actually shortens the embodiment process. Under these circumstances, the synchronization should complete within ten to twenty minutes. Thirty minutes at the absolute most..

More details followed.

Lucifer: The process itself is quite complicated, but the fortunate part is that most of it occurs internally within her body and soul. So outsiders cannot perceive the majority of what is happening. Even powerful beings nearby would only feel faint traces of the phenomenon.. So you don’t have to worry about anyone sensing it for now other.. Also the cocoon of energy you see forming around her that is the visible manifestation of conceptual energies. Those are fragments of cosmic law beginning to take shape.

Lucifer pressed on.

Lucifer: In simple terms, the cosmos itself is converging around her right now extremely gently. It is a nurturing process rather than a destructive one. Those energies are not harmful. In fact, they are extremely beneficial. Her body, soul, and very existence are being refined by the cosmic laws themselves.

Razeal’s eyes sharpened reading.

Lucifer: "Aside from the obvious power she will gain by embodying a Sin, the process itself will reshape her potential. Her entire being will be nurtured by conceptual energy. However, it will not reach the level it could have if the concept had been fully mature. Unfortunately, the Sin of Lust has only just been born in this reality. Dark mana itself is still extremely weak and fragile here also. The entire dark alignment of this world is still in its infancy.. Alas.

Lucifer’s tone softened, tinged with regret.

Lucifer: If the darkness of this reality had already matured... the surge of dark energy alone could have forged her body into something truly undeniable. But even in this weakened state, the result will still be extraordinary. After all, these are ontological forces cosmic laws that define how reality functions. Even a newly born law is still a fundamental principle of existence.
