Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out? Chapter 2015: Armageddon Gets A Visit

As more truths were unveiled, the astonishment deepened among them with the progression of shocking revelations. The ability to seize control of Dungeon Cores, enhance them, and subsequently claim them as personal assets, injecting their power into my own dungeon, was a momentous discovery. Yggdra played an integral part in this entire process, absorbing these cores as if they were extensions of her own vital systems, which was a key factor in her evolution into such a formidable entity.

Their knowledge expanded to include little Andromeda. After Yggdra granted her permission to explore, the diminutive goddess ambled through the floral expanse, eventually joining us. There, she encountered another young child: Esmeralda.

"Awah..." Andromeda settled down and gestured with her tiny hands. "Aeeh..."

"Awah!" Esmeralda responded, her greeting filled with delight.

Our parents and Master Felicia observed in quietude as the two infants engaged in an endearing exchange. Soon, the girls began plucking flowers, sharing their finds with each other. Their play then transitioned to crawling on all fours, in pursuit of the butterflies and insects flitting among the blossoms.

"Well, I'll be blown away. She truly is a miniature goddess," my father remarked. "Her aura confirms it."

"Indeed, divinity radiates from her," Shade concurred. "Astonishing. So, under Sylphy's command are not three, but four divine beings? And she herself is ascending towards divinity through a unique path distinct from ours."

"That appears to be the situation," Nepheline agreed. "Hmm, Faylen, what troubles you?"

"I am simply... rendered speechless," my mother confessed, a few tears surfacing as a gentle smile graced her lips. "In ages past, our entire race—nay, the denizens of this world—yearned for a beacon of hope this profound to illuminate our existence. Sylphy, you embody that hope. You, your companions, and your familiars... you are all manifestations of living, breathing hope."

"Mom..." I whispered, taken aback by her emotional response. "Please calm yourself..."

"My apologies. It is merely that after absorbing so much knowledge about this world and its history, despair can sometimes feel overwhelming," my mother explained. "However, I am overjoyed by this outcome. Was there anything else you wished to reveal?"

"Ah, yes," I affirmed, nodding. "This way. Please follow me."

I conjured a portal, opening onto the floor that led to Armageddon’s Divine Realm. Upon entering the searing, fiery expanse, we collectively projected our auras to form a protective buffer against the oppressive heat.

Esmeralda remained behind with Yggdra and her newly acquainted friend Andromeda, their joyous play continuing unabated.

"W-What is this place?! It's intolerably hot!" Nepheline exclaimed.

"Incredible... The scale is comparable to the first floor—no, even grander?!" Shade marveled.

"It's immense in here!" my father boomed. "Ah, I feel an intense connection to this environment... Is this the natural flow of spiritual and divine energy in the air? And it's fire-attributed too! I-I could cultivate so effortlessly here..."

My mother and Master Felicia gazed around in stunned silence for a moment, absorbing the colossal surroundings and the world presented before them. Then, their eyes, wide with astonishment, turned back to me.

"Sylphy, this is unbelievable. Is this yet another divine realm?" Felicia inquired.

"Yes. It was brought into existence by her. She awaits us somewhere above," I stated. "I desire for everyone to meet her... and please, try not to be upset."

"...?" Shade and Nepheline exchanged bewildered glances.

"This level is at least five times the size of the initial floor," my mother observed. "And it's evident that its creation and control stem from a vastly more experienced entity. This wasn't fashioned by a nascent divine spirit but by a seasoned god! Sylphy, who is this enigmatic deity you mention? An ally?!"

"Let us proceed to meet her."

We ascended into the heavens, our gaze captivated by the seemingly endless volcanic terrain until we arrived at a colossal crimson castle suspended in the sky.

Upon our arrival within the castle's confines, we were greeted by divine, humanoid ant spirits of diverse forms and sizes, engaged in their communal activities. Noticing our presence, they displayed a slight surprise, parted ways, and offered respectful bows.

"Lady Sylphy! Welcome!"

"What a pleasant surprise. Your previous visit was centuries ago..."

"Welcome, welcome."

As we advanced amidst the chorus of greetings, my mother and father directed confused glances my way.

"Who are these beings? They are all divine spirits!" my father exclaimed.

"While they may not possess the formidable strength of true divine spirits like Ifrit, they hold the potential for godhood themselves," my mother commented.

"Yes, they are the progeny of... well, a friend," I replied evasively, glancing toward Aquarina’s parents. "Once you ascertain her identity, many questions you've harbored will finally find resolution."

The throne room was finally reached. Before us, grand doors swung open, revealing a hall bathed in crimson, illuminated by large, golden bonfires. Dominating the center was a throne crafted from gold and rubies, upon which sat a colossal insectoid spirit goddess. Her form, while humanoid and surprisingly voluptuous in this true manifestation, was encased in sharp, hard red exoskeleton that gleamed like polished metal. Golden accents and divine spirit jewels adorned her, and remarkably, large, breast-like growths were visible beneath her steel-like plates. Her prior evolutions had, by some means, rendered her more anthropomorphic. It became quite clear now what had drawn Beelzebub to her. She was indeed evolving into a rather striking bug queen.

It was plausible that my influence as her human master was guiding her transformations. Regardless of the reason, this monumental, blazing ant queen, brimming with divine fire spirit power, was none other than the malevolent entity who had once posed a threat to their very existence.

This specific circumstance was precisely why articulation proved so exceedingly difficult.

"W-Wait, who is this?!" my mother exclaimed, recoiling slightly. "Such an enormous halo of divinity...!"

"She possesses incredible strength and an astonishing affinity with my element, too..." my father commented, his voice filled with awe. "She is... a goddess of fire? But why does she resemble an ant?"

Armageddon clicked her mandibles with palpable irritation. "Master, why have you brought so many individuals to my sanctuary once more? Did I not explicitly request personal time?"

"Do not behave insolently," I commanded. She immediately lowered her head. "These are my family and my companions. You are to treat them with utmost courtesy and kindness. Do you comprehend, Armageddon?"

"Uugh... Y-Yes... Master..." she grumbled resentfully, her inability to defy my orders evident.

Shade and Nepheline observed her with expressions of sheer astonishment, while Felicia, standing beside me, appeared thoroughly amazed and stroked her chin in contemplation.

"Well, I must admit this is quite shocking," Felicia chuckled. "I was aware something unusual was transpiring here, but I never conceived you would have forged an alliance with some sort of wandering goddess—or perhaps I should term her an evil goddess? Though, unlike typical entities of that nature, her origin as an Artificial Great Spirit is apparent! Are you perhaps rebelling against your creators, Armageddon?"

"Precisely..." she responded with a confident nod. "Heh, I suppose someone here actually understands someth—Ungh?!"

However, just as the situation appeared to be settling, two immense pressures erupted, bearing down upon her. One was an intensely cold, dark force, while the other carried the overwhelming weight of a mountain.

"Nngaaaah! W-What the—Ah! It is you?! W-Why did you escort them here, Master?!"

I glanced back to find my father-in-law and mother-in-law glaring furiously at Armageddon, their auras igniting with formidable power.

"How is this even possible...?" Shade questioned, his voice laced with disbelief. "How are you still alive?!"

"We extinguished you; you wretched creature! What business do you have with our daughter-in-law?!" Nepheline demanded, her tone sharp with anger. "Have you subjected her to some form of brainwashing?!"

Ah, indeed. While I had anticipated some form of reaction, this particular display exceeded expectations slightly.
