Nova was baffled for a few seconds after seeing all the notifications, as everything he had received after his Legendary Evolution and after completing both quests was far beyond anything he had ever expected.

He didn’t know what changes had taken place in his body during the evolution. The only things he remembered were the part where he had been screaming in unbearable agony because of that black heart—the heart of Demon Lord Raze,

the first true and perfect hybrid of dragons and demons—and the part where he had found himself inside that endless dark space, where he had refined Raze’s soul and consciousness.

Nova could clearly feel the overwhelming power coursing through his body now that he had finally broken through to the King Realm. Before doing anything else, he tried to fly, and sure enough, his body instantly floated into the air without him even activating Sky Stride.

But that wasn’t the only thing he noticed.

He had fought King Realm experts before and had even killed several of them, yet the natural aura radiating from his body now was far beyond theirs, and he wasn’t even releasing his Demonic Dominion Aura.

{Calm down. Why don’t you first check out everything you’ve obtained? It’s pretty amazing.}

Nova heard Liya’s voice, but this time it wasn’t echoing inside his mind. It came from behind him. Nova immediately turned around and saw her.

There she stood — 180 cm of pure temptation. It was the same Liya Nova had seen countless times inside the system training space... but this time, something was strikingly different.

She had stepped out of the digital system space and was now standing right in front of him in the real world.

Her figure was as devastatingly hot as ever. The futuristic full-body suit clung tightly to her thick, voluptuous, mature curves, accentuating every dangerous inch.

Her breasts looked even fuller and heavier than before, her thighs thicker and softer, and her plump ass even more tempting — practically begging to be grabbed.

Her beautiful black hair now featured striking blue highligts. The face Nova had admired so many times looked even more breathtaking and seductive, as if she had been crafted by the gods themselves for the sole purpose of tempting every man who laid eyes on her.

Nova gulped hard, his throat suddenly dry as he drank in the sight of her.

For a brief moment, Nova completely forgot that Liya was no longer just a digital presence. He quickly glanced around to confirm he was still in the real world — and sure enough, he was standing in the same strange, barren wasteland beneath a lifeless, empty sky.

{ Relax, idiot. You’re not in the system space now. }

Liya’s said in teasing voice as she slowly closed the distance between them. Within seconds, she was standing right in front of him, their bodies pressed together. Her soft, heavy breasts pushed firmly against his chest — solid, warm, and very real. Nothing was passing through him this time.

A beautiful, knowing smile spread across her face as she gazed upwards into his eyes. Nova remained still, letting her take the lead while he processed the shock of her physical presence.

She gently rested her soft, tender hands on his cheeks, caressing them lovingly as she whispered,

{ Now that I’m standing right in front of you... touching you... and you’re still not saying anything? }

Nova finally snapped out of his daze. The realization hit him fully — she was really here, solid and warm beneath his touch. He gently cupped her face with both hands, his voice filled with disbelief.

”A-Are you really out of the system space now...? I can actually touch you?”

Liya giggled playfully and wrapped her arms around him, resting her head against his chest as she pressed her voluptuous body closer.

No words were needed. The way she felt soft, warm, and undeniably real —answered everything. This was the day he had been waiting for, for so long.

Of course he could touch her now. Liya had finally completed her second major upgrade alongside Nova’s own second evolution, granting her a physical body.

Nova returned the embrace tightly, pulling her even closer as he inhaled her addictive, sweet fragrance. Liya noticed and teased him through their link.

{Pervert~ The moment I get a physical body, you start acting all naughty... Although... I don’t dislike it.}

Nova pulled back slightly and looked at her with curious eyes. ”Why do I feel like your personality has changed a little?”

{Changed? How?}

”I don’t know how to explain it exactly... but you seem more human now. Honestly, before this, talking to you didn’t always feel like talking to a real person. Your emotions feel much more genuine now.”

Liya looked at him for a moment, then sighed softly.

{Sigh... Well, I don’t fully understand it either. Maybe it’s how I was programmed. As I unlock more upgrades, I suppose I become more human-like. That’s probably why you feel that way.}

”Programmed...” Nova muttered, a thoughtful look crossing his face.

”Now that you mention it... I never really asked before. Where did you come from? Who sent you to me? And how did I end up with such an amazing system? It’s strange... it feels like those questions were somehow blocked from my mind until now.”

{That’s understandable. It was designed that way. And I’m sorry, but it’s still too soon for me to answer those questions. Even if I wanted to, I wouldn’t be able to right now.

As for why you couldn’t think of them earlier — that was part of the lock. But now that you’ve gone through your second evolution and become many times stronger than ordinary warriors at your level, that mental restriction has finally broken although still many things are restricted from your thought process which I can’t reveal.

It was supposed to happen later, but you’re progressing faster than expected.}

Nova absorbed Liya’s words carefully. Whatever this was, it clearly involved someone far beyond his current understanding — if even Liya couldn’t reveal the full truth, then it was something truly profound.

A thought suddenly struck him, and he asked, ”Does this have anything to do with that primordial wisp of energy that helped me refine the soul of Demon Lord Raze?”

{ I can’t say for certain if it’s related or not... But know this — you already possessed that energy long before your transmigration. }

Nova fell silent for a few moments, turning the revelation over in his mind. A vague theory began to form, but he wasn’t confident enough to voice it yet or he simply couldn’t.

He decided to set it aside for later and focused instead on the beautiful woman standing right in front of him.

”So now that you have a physical body, you can come out of the system space whenever you want, right?” Nova asked excitedly. ”Oh, and I almost forgot — what new upgrades did you get?”

{ Calm down, stupid. I’ll answer everything. First, about coming out of the system space... The answer is no, not freely. Even though I now have a material physical body, I can only manifest in the real world for a limited time — about two hours per day. }

{ If you want to see me or touch me~after that, you’ll have to enter the system space yourself. As for my new upgrades... you’ve already experienced two of the biggest ones: I now have a real, physical body that you can touch, and I can appear in the real world for that limited time. }

{ And the rest of my upgrades... we can talk about those later. We have all the time in the world now. For the moment, let’s focus on the more important things — your Legendary Evolution and figuring out exactly where you are right now. }

Only then did Nova truly snap back to reality. In all the excitement of Liya’s physical appearance, he had nearly forgotten to check his own situation. He quickly recalled the earlier system message and felt his heart race.

Those rewards were anything but ordinary the sheer number of Evolution Stones and Fate Points he had received was staggering.

But even more pressing right now was figuring out where the hell he was... and how he was going to get back to his wives. They must be worried sick about him.

What bothered Nova even more was the nagging feeling that he had been in this desolate place for a very long time. He wasn’t sure whether it was a side effect of his evolution or merely an illusion created by his mind.

He turned to Liya with a serious expression and asked, ”How long have I been here?”

Liya looked at him calmly before answering.

{ Two months. }

”What the fuck!!”
