Previously on Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?...
In the Avalonian Court, spirit kings and queens debated the birth of a new goddess created by Sylphy from an Eden Apple Tree on Cloudia, highlighting her endless mana and potential. Erebus advocated harnessing her power to defeat the invaders, but Oberon and Ifrit warned against coercion, fearing it would turn her against them. They resolved to approach her carefully, with Freyja suggesting gifts and a long game. A divine figure then entered from the titanic tree, declaring her intent to participate.
The Queen herself graced them with her presence. A divine aura, radiating life and unparalleled brilliance, emanated from her. Oberon, the Fairy King, whom she had brought into existence to be her husband and sire her offspring, let out a silent gasp, captivated by her celestial beauty. Such moments, where he beheld her in this humanoid divine spirit form, were exceedingly rare.
"It has been an considerable duration since I last manifested in such a manner within the Court," she proclaimed. "My focus has largely been on nurturing and expanding my capabilities and influence throughout this new world, diligently adapting to the gods' remolding of it and subtly turning their designs to my advantage. Nevertheless, it brings me joy to see all of you, my cherished children, once more. And you, my dearest love."
"My love... to behold you again is an honor beyond measure," Oberon responded, quickly descending from his throne. "Pray, be seated. I shall gladly kneel before your true radiance."
"There is no need for such formality, my husband," she replied with a warm smile, conjuring a magnificent throne beside his. "This position is perfectly suitable."
An profound silence descended upon the assembly following their formal greetings. Even the typically boisterous Ifrit, among the rowdier spirits, instantly quieted.
This was due to the undeniable fact that Queen Yggdrasil stood as the preeminent divine goddess this world had ever birthed. She reigned supreme above all life and creation, representing the absolute zenith of existence.
Her essence transcended that of a mere colossal tree, its roots sprawling across continents; she was, in fact, an entire living biosphere. Within her very being resided the genetic blueprint of every creature that had ever inhabited this world.
Even beings who arrived from the distant stars were eventually encompassed and assimilated. Despite the gods' concerted efforts to terraform her planet, she demonstrated remarkable adaptability. She absorbed their creations, meticulously replicated them, and evolved in tandem with her adversaries. Even now, they continued to struggle against her and the planet itself.
The sole entity that could perhaps rival her, and that solely in terms of raw power, was the Dragon King, the planet's joint Guardian alongside the First Demon King. He was the progenitor of the world's most formidable species: dragons, the unique race capable of naturally attaining divinity through the mere passage of ages.
In ages past, her divine form had presented a strikingly different appearance, particularly when the planet was far more alien. Her coloration had been a deep, almost purplish hue, and she possessed numerous eyes. However, through the uncounted eons, she had adapted to the exotic flora introduced by the fallen gods. She integrated these new life forms into herself, gradually acclimatizing to the Spiritual Energy and Mana they had infused into the world.
Owing to her exceptional capacity for evolution and adaptation through the assimilation of life and DNA, she persisted as the paramount obstacle preventing the gods from extracting the planet's very core.
She was the divine supreme, above all other divinities.
"Queen Yggdrasil, Your Majesty," Freyr addressed her respectfully. "Mother..."
She inclined her head. "Speak, my beloved child."
"We were engaged in a discussion regarding the disposition of this extraordinary child. I am quite certain you have encountered her previously, have you not?" Freyr inquired.
"Indeed, I communicated with her but once, within a dream," Yggdrasil confirmed. "This occurred several years prior, when she was considerably younger and less powerful. Nevertheless, I never could have foreseen her evolving to such a degree, reaching a point where she is now capable of birthing gods themselves."
"Based on the divine signatures detected, she is also on the cusp of becoming a goddess herself, one unlike any we have previously encountered," Freyja added. "This marks the first instance where a child of the gods, a descendant of the subservient races the gods established upon our planet's surface, has begun to ascend to the divine echelon. However, the most astonishing revelation is that she is not employing their prescribed Evolution Method, whereby the gods radically alter their fundamental existence and discard their physical forms. Instead, she is utilizing a methodology akin to our own."
"So, she is elevating her spirit and soul while concurrently evolving her physical form as it adapts," Yggdrasil mused. "That particular Divine Cultivation Method was a secret imparted only to my direct offspring and a select few favored individuals. How, then, could this child have unearthed the Secret of Divine Evolution?"
"Apparently, she deduced it entirely on her own accord," Freyr responded. "We lack any understanding as to how. No one has divulged any information to her."
"This might be intrinsically linked to the Alien Spirit she was born with," Freyja posited.
"The Alien Spirit?" Ifrit questioned with curiosity. "What precisely is that?"
"She harbors an alien entity within her?"
"What implications does that carry?"
"I have never encountered any mention of such a phenomenon!"
"Could she be a clandestine agent of the gods?!"
"Wait, we must immediately put a stop to this!"
"Compose yourselves. Silence!" Yggdrasil commanded, and an immediate hush fell over the gathering. "Refrain from making hasty assumptions in the absence of concrete evidence. Please, continue, my dear."
"Yes, Mother," Freyja acknowledged with a nod. "Freyr and I are likely the only ones who perceived it, given our attunement to all spirits and our awareness of their emergence. Is that not correct?"
"That is correct," Freyr affirmed. "It transpired over ten years ago. Within her soul, something emerged, a spirit unlike anything we had ever encountered. Due to its partial fusion with her soul and the establishment of a unique familiar contract, we were only able to perceive her abilities superficially."
"However, roaming spirits have laid eyes upon her," Freyja continued. "She appears as a diminutive pixie, though at times she can attain the stature of a fairy. Her capabilities remain a mystery, yet she is undeniably a singular entity. She is wholly composed of Divine Runes of the utmost magnitude, predominantly embodying the elements of Souls, Light, Life, and... a mysterious element previously unknown to our world."
"An extraterrestrial element that only recently manifested in this realm," Freyr elaborated. "Through the Saintess of Spirits, we have also observed that she bestows this power upon her companions, facilitating their evolution. This spirit possesses the ability to duplicate itself, forge contracts, and merge with the very souls of those it bonds with. By default, it grants them the Secret of Divine Evolution. Furthermore, they acquire the capacity to absorb energy upon vanquishing adversaries, repurposing it to enhance their strength through a method divergent from conventional cultivation."
"Astonishing. How could a living being of such caliber possibly exist?" one of the divine spirits questioned.
"Why did you two withhold this information from us until now, esteemed King and Queen of the Spirits?"
"We refrained from disclosing this because we anticipated you would cause an unnecessary commotion," Freyr responded. "Nevertheless, Sylph is no clandestine operative. She harbors a profound aversion towards the gods on high."
"She is a compassionate soul," Freyja interjected. "Her sole desire is prosperity for her kin... much like all of us aspire to."
Yggdrasil listened intently and in quiet contemplation before choosing to articulate her thoughts.
"Some time ago, I appointed her as an Yggdrasil Knight," she elucidated. "Her induction into the Order of Knights, irrespective of her tender age, must have represented a significant honor, particularly with the inherent abilities now intrinsically linked to her existence. At that juncture, she did not appear to object to the proposition. For the present, let us refrain from impulsive actions. We shall simply observe and ascertain the world's transformations before embarking on any drastic measures. Therefore, exercise patience."
"We shall, thank you for your gracious counsel, Mother," Freyr conveyed.
The assembly persisted for an extended duration. Meanwhile, Sylphy, entirely oblivious to the profound extent of her global influence, was partaking in a morning meal with her family, proudly recounting her triumphs in conquering numerous dungeons.
