Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out? Chapter 1980: Scarlet’s Divine Evolution
Previously on Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?...
I resolved to evaluate the ring’s functionality, donning it to probe its capabilities. "How curious? A summoning function?" I pondered. Experimenting, I discovered an ability to conjure up to thirty entities. Though they were somewhat fragile and would likely be pulverized by the local monsters in an instant, the potential was intriguing. I decided to utilize them as components, dedicating one to each slot to observe the resulting influence.
Combining Armageddon’s materials with my own, I initiated the rite without delay. I cast my Alchemy Domain wide and summoned my Forging Hammer, blending Alchemy and Blacksmithing into a singular, masterful craft to elevate my sentient armaments.
Ignatius and Armageddon contributed by constructing a monumental furnace. As the metals liquefied and were refined into ingots, they were promptly poured back into the cauldron—Violet—alongside an array of dozens of rare ingredients. Every component I could conceive was incorporated, including the prized gifts bestowed by Armageddon.
Surrounding spirits harmonized with my Alchemical Aura, infusing it with their own magical and spiritual essence. As elemental forces erupted, I unleashed every profound technique at my command: Synthesis, Extraction, Metamorphosis, Shapeforge, Fusion, and beyond. With surgical precision, I interlaced the materials while Violet expanded, manifesting as a gargantuan cauldron tailored for my needs.
Indeed, at her current stage, her true scale was humongous, though she typically opted for a diminutive form. That restraint, however, was no longer mandatory!
Following exhaustive labor, a vast reservoir filled with countless ingredients bubbled, coalescing into a decoction brimming with immense spiritual and divine vitality.
"Very well, Scarlet, approach."
She glided toward me. I submersed her within the cauldron; her form flared with radiance as the evolution commenced. She greedily absorbed the ingredients, remaining steeped within the alchemical concoction.
I introduced a steady stream of soul and spirit orbs. As she consumed the reserves and shone with increasing luminosity, I extracted her using my Alchemy Aura. Taking up my hammer, I began the process of reshaping her very essence.
By applying techniques garnered from Ruby and my Master, I skillfully molded her into something entirely unprecedented. Halfway through, I integrated the various weapons I had gathered: the shapeshifter preceded the spears, hammers, swords, and one of the rings. Following these, I added half of the dryad’s heart. Armageddon’s divine-realm materials were already permeating her form, which I then carefully refined. Only the molten metals remained.
She glowed with vivid azure and crimson hues, devouring the sacrificial gear, spirit orbs, and soul orbs. Finally, I submerged her beneath the molten metals to ensure total absorption. Her brilliance became blinding.
"We are almost there...!"
I executed a relentless combination of Shapeforge and Synthesis, forging her to her absolute pinnacle. Finally, I infused my own blood, Divine Thunder Artifacts, dragon scales, horn, fangs, and claws.
As the mixture surged to its peak, the ultimate trial manifested. From her aura, a titanic Alchemy Spirit coalesced.
It resembled a monstrous dragon of flame and frost, roaring with savage intent, sporting a multitude of heads, countless arms, and thrashing tails. It lunged directly at me.
A smile graced my lips as I manifested my Yggdragon Quintuple Aura alongside my Heavenly Thunder Divine Domain and Divine Void Star Dragon Aura Domain. Spiritual dragons clashed in a tempest of fury; massive beams of elemental power collided; razor-sharp claws raked at one another.
Thrusting my hand forward, I channeled the Flames of Strength, unleashing a colossal blazing palm strike. It impacted the monster with catastrophic force, obliterating it into a torrent of pure fire.
The massive shockwave engulfed the target. The lingering Essence flooded into Scarlet, driving her toward her final metamorphosis.
At last!
She blazed with light, hovering majestically in the air. I gazed upon her transformed state: a fusion of gold, red, and blue, studded with rainbow gemstones. Though she remained a colossal greatsword, she felt remarkably lighter—more refined, more 'divine'—while exuding curses and possessing an aura reminiscent of Nephilim’s.
Her hilt had elongated, resembling dragon wings. Her overall presence had grown profoundly majestic, leaving me breathless as she settled tenderly into my grasp.
"Sylphy, I am grateful for your role in helping me reach this stage. From here on, we shall ascend to even greater heights together."
"Eh? What do you mean—Whoa?!"
A tidal wave of power erupted from her—true Divinity.
Indeed, it was not merely lingering divine energy. She had awakened her own intrinsic Divinity!
"A-A True Divine Weapon...!" Armageddon let out a boisterous laugh. "Even I have yet to forge such a thing! Hahaha! Hahahaha! You are an utter monster, 'master'! I am honored to remain by your side. Let us slaughter the gods together!"
As Armageddon exulted in wild laughter, I held Scarlet with reverence. She radiated Divinity—nascent and burgeoning, yet undeniable, mirroring my own.
"Is this the result of our shared bond?" I whispered.
"Indeed. I have stood by your side since you were but a small child, recall? I was your inaugural sword," she murmured with warmth. "Forged from a shred of Ignatius’s dragon heart and crafted by Master Felicia, you received me on your birthday. We have struck down countless foes together. The Plane of Fate and the Plane of Soul now resonate within my core. Our intertwined history—you as my wielder, I as your blade—has manifested this Divinity."
"Scarlet!" Tears blurred my vision as I pulled her close, unbothered by her weight or newfound sharpness. "I am ecstatic to witness this rebirth!"
Her aura was overwhelming, distorting the very fabric of space. It recalled an endless sea of golden, crimson, and azure flames dancing in chaotic measures, occasionally weaving into titanic serpentine dragons. Thunder crackled amidst the abyss; darkness, curses, and frost intertwined; kaleidoscopic flames surged and flared.
It was awe-inspiring. It was breathtaking. It was perfect.

I nodded, focusing my attention on her new existence through her expansive Status screen.
