After reconnecting with his allies in the capital of Vaythos, the protagonist travels to the colony world of Peanu alongside Vivi. Upon arrival, they swiftly bypass security and infiltrate the pocket space housing the world core. Vivi consumes the entirety of the Peanu world core, triggering a massive surge of energy that strengthens their connection, evolves Vivi, and significantly expands the protagonist's own Dawn Core.

I opened up the notification interface from the system.

[Laws Upgraded]

[Level 4 – Major Law of Space, Major Law of Time]

[Level 3 – Major Law of Elemental Convergence, Major Law of Devour, Major Law of Stormfire, Major Law of Froststorm, Major Law of Assimilation, Major Law of Polarity, Major Law of Resonance, Major Law of Sealing]

A brief wave of surprise washed over me as I studied the screen.

Every one of my Level 2 laws had ascended to Level 3, while the Major Law of Time had surged ahead, leaping from Level 3 all the way to Level 4.

Ordinarily, such substantial progression would demand an immense amount of personal toil. Yet, the transformation occurred in the blink of an eye the very moment Vivi consumed the world core.

Dismissing the notification window, I turned my focus inward to gaze upon my Dawn Core.

The familiar islets drifted serenely across the violet firmament of my internal realm, but clearly, the volcanoes signifying my various laws had undergone a significant change. They had swelled in size, their crests radiating with colors far more profound and saturated than before. Streams of Qi cascaded around them like living rivers, lending the core a far more vibrant and lively appearance than a moment ago.

They emanated a sense of... strength. And a strange, captivating beauty.

I let out a soft chuckle, amused by the sudden development.

"Well," I murmured to myself, "that certainly caught me off guard."

A secondary notification icon pulsed faintly at the periphery of my sight. It was linked to my talent panel.

Spurred by curiosity, I accessed it.

-------------------------------------------

The specific nature of the energy birthed by the friction within my Dawn Core had shifted. Previously, the currents circulating within the core pulsed with a deep blue luminosity. That hue had now completely evolved. The rivers of power winding between the islands and through my conduits had turned a brilliant silver.

I peered deeper into my core’s structure, observing closely.

Needle-thin threads of flickering silver energy darted continuously, eventually congregating at the central generator core. Upon entering, the generator reacted instantly, venting fresh waves of essence back into the wider system.

The impact was unmistakable.

Every unit of silver energy now yielded substantially more essence than the blue energy ever had.

The entire, complex cycle had grown stronger and far more efficient.

With a slow exhale, I shuttered the system windows. Shifting my focus back to the pocket space, I saw Vivi drifting nearby, slowly circling as she examined her enhanced physique.

Her wings were fully unfurled, the violet flames dancing across her feathers with renewed intensity as she pivoted in the air.

Eventually, she slowed to a hover right before me.

"This wasn't quite what I had in mind," she remarked finally.

"And what were you expecting?" I inquired.

She puffed out her cheeks in a cute, sulky pout.

"I was hoping I'd grow to be at least as big as you."

Her tone was thick with disappointment. Chuckling, I reached out to give her head a gentle tap with my finger.

"It is fine," I comforted her. "There is still one more world left to visit, isn't there?"

Her eyes ignited with sudden excitement.

"Yes!"

She did a joyful spin in mid-air. "Sukra. Let’s head to Sukra."

I offered a smile. "Agreed. Let’s go."

Space rippled and folded once more as Vivi and I departed from Peanu’s pocket dimension.

A moment later, we manifested over the military transit hub of Sukra. Our sudden appearance instantly triggered sirens, which blared across the facility.

Scores of soldiers whirled toward us with startled expressions.

"Unidentified contacts detected!"

They raised their weapons in unison. Before the situation could spiral into chaos, I merely flicked my hand.

A soft pulse of essence rippled out. Every soldier slumped to the ground, falling into unconsciousness before they could even utter a sound.

Vivi cast a brief glance downward at the fallen troops.

"You do that quite a lot."

"It is simply the most efficient method."

Moving without hesitation, I strode forward. Space bent around us. The bustling hub vanished, and suddenly we stood within the world-core chamber of Sukra. Much like Peanu’s, the core hovered at the heart of a vast pocket space—a massive, swirling sphere of essence rotating languidly.

Vivi glided toward it, her eyes widening in recognition.

"Another one of your own."

I gave a simple nod. "Correct."

She circled the core one final time before turning back to me with a smug, confident grin.

"This one looks easy to handle as well."

Her head began to expand, growing larger and larger until her beak alone loomed over the world core.

And then—

CRUNCH.

With a single, decisive chomp, she devoured the entire world core. The metamorphic process ignited anew.

A violet haze surged across the skies of Sukra, spreading like a tide through the atmosphere. Essence flooded into the planet's mantle, rousing dormant energies hidden deep beneath the crust. Inside the pocket space, I felt the familiar tug as my consciousness expanded outward once more.

Vaythos. Peanu. And now, Sukra.

These three worlds were now linked through Vivi, forming a triangle of flowing, intertwined energy. Yet, the sensation this time differed significantly.

Deep within my Dawn Core, the volcanoes representing my laws trembled with the new influx of power. I could clearly sense my strength growing. However, the system remained strangely quiet.

No level-up notification.

Just a subtle, underlying growth. My focus snapped back to Vivi. She glowed with intense brilliance for several long seconds as the transformation reached its climax.

But instead of continuing to grow—

She began to shrink.

The phoenix, previously larger than a pigeon, rapidly condensed until she shrank back to her original proportions, small enough to rest comfortably in the palm of my hand. The violet flames licking her wings flickered with evident uncertainty.

She hovered there in the silence for a moment, and then her wings twitched.

"...What?"
