Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out?

Chapter 1920: Exploring The Divine Realm Inside The Dungeon

-----

”Ah yeah, that. Well, since my Soul evolved into a Divine Psyche and I gained Demi Deity status, my Soul acquired a tremendous amount of Fortitude—you know, Soul Stamina and Strength, or whatever you want to call it. So the pressure from overusing Mana has lessened dramatically,” I explained. ”And by using the Dungeon as a direct conduit connected to my own Soul and System, I could donate massive amounts of Mana quite easily... billions upon billions of units. Armageddon said that Mana, when wielded properly, can potentially recreate almost anything. It’s the wonder element that somehow does everything.”

”Huh...” Aquarina looked stunned. ”I-I guess I had grown so used to your old limits and that finite Mana that I never thought about it too deeply. But you’re absolutely right. With truly Endless Mana, without any complications, you could do just about anything. Even... gain enough power to fight and potentially defeat the Gods.”

”Yeah! I mean, I still have limits,” I giggled. ”I got pretty exhausted once we finished. I really want to rest right now...”

”Ah, sorry for dragging you back here... I didn’t think about how tired you must be when I got so angry,” Aquarina apologized sincerely. ”I’m still working on my anger issues.”

”Ah no, it’s fine. I understand why you got mad...” I nodded gently. ”So, um, anyway, let’s find her. Last time she said she was building a castle. Let’s head to the skies then...!”

”The skies—Woah?!” Aquarina cried out as I grabbed her hand and launched upward, sprouting a large pair of red-scaled dragon wings through my Draconification Transformation. It had become a permanent part of my body now, with no time limits anymore. ”Umm, over there!”

I kicked the air and accelerated sharply. Aquarina quickly steadied herself, stopping her screams as she released her Aura and enveloped herself in a protective bubble. She had a Sea Dragon Draconification, so no wings like mine, unfortunately. But she had already mastered a new technique she created called Heaven Step, which had evolved into a full Skill.

With this Skill, Aquarina could walk, run, and even blitz across the skies as if they were solid ground. It was incredible to watch in action. Aquarina had grown so powerful, and I had barely seen all the new abilities she had gained.

”Wooow! This place is massive!” Aquarina exclaimed. ”Sylphy, how big is this?! It even has stars and moons?”

”Yeah, it expanded into a small outer space,” I explained. ”It even has cosmic dust and everything, but it’s not that enormous. The sixth floor became like this. The surface where we were earlier is the largest landmass on this Divine Realm Floor. It’s not as big as Terrarium, but still quite large—maybe around the size of our Moon.”

”That’s huge!” Aquarina said in genuine awe.

”Yep, it should keep growing bigger as time passes,” I nodded. ”Um, so where are you, Armageddon? Ah, I can sense her... well, she technically can’t escape from me anyway. We’re connected as Familiar and Master, whether she likes it or not, hehe.”

We soared higher and higher, taking in the breathtaking vista with Aquarina. She seemed the most amazed by this enormous world, which now holds its own seas, mountains, forests, and volcanic regions. Countless lifeforms have already moved across the landscape.

Our destination lay even further above, piercing through the planetoid’s stratosphere and into the ”outer space” of this Realm. As I expected, there was no oxygen, but unlike true outer space, which is freezing, this place remained surprisingly hot.

”Wow, this is... Ugh, I can’t breathe...” Aquarina groaned, expanding her Aura further and drawing on her internal energy to sustain herself. ”Whew, that was annoying. What the hell is this place? I thought all Floors still had to be... I don’t know, capable of supporting life? But this is just a vacuum.”

”Yeah, Armageddon really created a miniature outer space around that big planetoid,” I explained. ”I’m fairly sure she built her castle somewhere around here... Oh, over there!”

We looked into the distance. The largest star in the Divine Spirit Realm floated above the planetoid. Most things here orbited this star, which was twice the size of the planetoid below us.

”Oh yeah, there she is! Armageddon! Did you finish your new castle already? I thought you were going to oversee your kids?” I called out, flying toward the star with Aquarina in tow.

”Wooaaah!” Aquarina gasped, as amazed as I was, staring at the incredible view. This fabricated ”fake” outer space still felt like true outer space, and moving through it was utterly fascinating. ”Wait! This Star...! I remember now. When that bitch ascended, she turned into a giant ball of fire like this one, with a single... eye...”

TRUUUM!

In that instant, the enormous sphere of flames—the sun we were approaching—opened its single eye. A fiery red pupil blazed toward us with overwhelming intensity.

”T-That’s her!” Aquarina screamed. ”She already regained that form?! This is her Divinity Embodiment!”

”Divinity Embodiment?” I asked curiously.

”My mom said that’s the form Gods take when they fully embody their Divinity! They become giant creatures, sometimes completely abstract beings... Armageddon originates as a Blazing Ant—that’s her Divine Vessel—but this is her Divinity Embodiment. It’s their ’outer shell’ made of all their divine power,” Aquarina gasped. ”We had to destroy this thing to finally reach her true form.”

”Divinity Embodiment, huh?” I mused. ”I wonder if I could do that too...”

”You should be able to, in due time, little Demigoddess.”

Then the giant one-eyed star spoke in Armageddon’s voice. Her massive eye locked onto our souls as she began to exert an immense gravitational pull, drawing us closer.

”I have finished my castle, yes. Come closer. I invite you into my Divine Star of Destruction Body! I see you’ve brought a... familiar face.”

”It’s really you!” Aquarina barked furiously. ”Damn bitch! What are you trying to do?! See, Sylphy?! She’s betraying us! She’s going to attack! We have to fight and—”

”Gosh! Calm down, Aquarina!” I snapped, grabbing her shoulders and shaking her lightly. ”It’s fine! I don’t sense any bloodlust from her. She doesn’t want to harm us. Let her do her thing.”

”W-Wha—AAAAHHH!” Aquarina screamed as we were pulled into the Divine Star of Destruction, plunging through its blazing plasma seas.

SPLASH!

We emerged on the other side into a realm of endlessly flowing divine energies, like rivers of liquid gold stretching in every direction. At the center stood a gigantic castle of red stone and golden bricks, shaped like a colossal floating volcano mountain.

At the base of the volcanic mountain, countless heads of blazing ants—crafted from stone and living fire—stood watch. As the attractive force drew us nearer, a massive gate opened at the mountain’s center, welcoming us inside.
