Chapter 925 The Frost Queen
Chapter 925 The Frost Queen
-----Oh? Is that so?
[However, there\'s still some problems in implementing this power, something I cannot completely get done yet. However, I have calculated that the key to grant them such powers might be behind Kate\'s [System Magic] her own and only affinity. As a Half-Divine Spirit of the System Element, an Element completely Unique to her which might had been developed from the System\'s own core and your soul being merged together, I believe she might be the key to this… and also, perhaps to unlock my lost memories.]
Your memories as well?
So Kate was always important, just as I thought.
Not only she\'s important as my daughter, but she has a special purpose aside from that.
The System back then created her not only as a gift for me, but also having a purpose.
I can\'t believe she thought so ahead, but I guess it was always like that for her.
[For now, Drake, it would be good if you could help everybody get up and move forward, there might be something important waiting for you in the next room.]
You\'re right, I can keep on sitting here.
"Benladann, you\'ve become a Goddess now, so congratulations." I said, petting her and giving her a kiss.
"A-A goddess… I guess I have." Sighed Benladann. "I never thought the little me would ever reach that high though."
"You always talk like this, haha… Well, for now, how about we move forward?" I wondered. "We can investigate your powers and what you\'ve become later. Everybody else seem to have changed too, they became Gods."
"Gods… everybody?!" She asked.
"Yeah…" I sighed in disbelief.
Our entire team was shining with bright divine essence. This was a completely unprecedented moment in the entire world, perhaps. After all, gods were rare in the world, even now. The ages where they were very common had already passed, and perhaps the gods around the world raised naturally from mortals amounted no more than two or three hundred. All of us getting added into the line mix might be a big thing now. I also noticed Skadi and Uller becoming stronger Divine Weapons, which also regenerated their shattered bodies, saving them the annoyance of having to wait for their bodies to repair themselves over time.
This is just the power of the Inheritance of a Venerable, a being so strong they can easily raise people into gods by completing three Trials. Although this last one was truly incredibly hard, I can\'t help but feel slightly grateful to the Venerable for what she had done.
"Now it\'s the moment of truth, everybody. Let\'s go." I led everybody, as we stepped forward without saying a single word. We all wanted to talk out our minds, discuss as much as we wanted, and experiment the powers they had obtained, but right now, we had a greater duty, completing this Inheritance.
When we stepped forward across the gates in front of us, they quickly closed behind us and then, we were greeted with a world of darkness. Everything turned completely black, and it felt as if the floor itself had disappeared.
In a single moment, we found ourselves falling from the ground.
"W-What is going on?!" Benladann cried.
"We might be being sent elsewhere, hang in there!" I said.
FLASH!
And then, a bright light greeted us, encompassing everything around us. A second after, we found ourselves sitting over a vast field of blueish green grass. There were beautiful snowflake-shaped flowers spread through the beautiful Grassfield, as snow seemed to be spread through as well. in the background, there were dozens of beautiful mountains covered in snow, and birds flying atop clear blue sky, although not as clear, as there were many clouds spread thoroughly.
"This is… another world?" Wondered Charlotte.
"No, this is a Divine Realm!" Rakasha said. "Like Drake\'s one."
"R-Right…" Pekora muttered, standing up as everybody also was standing up from the ground.
"A Divine Realm, but wasn\'t the Tower also one?" Wondered Tisha.
"Precisely, it was also one, so we simply moved to another room…" I said. "I knew it, this entire thing is way bigger than the tower itself. After all, how can a Divine Realm from a Venerable be small? The one from the Fox Venerable is an almost endless world within a giant dream realm… So this one might be just as gigantic…"
"That\'s right, dear Drake, this Divine Realm is as big as you imagine, if not even bigger."
Suddenly, a voice I had heard before, but that didn\'t belong to my team resonated behind me. I quickly and almost reflectively looked behind me, finding a few meters in the distance a tall and majestic Ice Giant woman, with long silvery-white hair as silky as porcelain, shiny golden eyes, pale blue skin covered in white tattoos depicting various things, wearing a dress made out of the leather of ferocious animals, she seemed to be wearing very traditional ice giant village clothes, like the ones Benladann and her parents once used, made from wild monsters leather rather than processed fabric. Wrapped around her neck, there was a pendant made of silver metal with a blue jewel on it.
"Y-You\'re…"
Her presence was so strong and divine that it made everybody fall to their knees once more. Her calm smile and her gentle eyes, alongside her incredible authority of pure dominance and maturity exuded such a strong aura of strength that it made everything around us feel completely distorted.
This was the presence of a Venerable.
"She\'s…"
"Indeed, it is me. The one you call the "Frost Queen", although that\'s a Title I dislike. I am the Venerable of Ice, the only Ice Giant to have reached Rank 10, the one that freed the world from the Era of Blood." Said the Venerable with a charming smile. "Welcome to my Divine Realm."
