Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System

Chapter 1917: Forging A Spirit Core



The moment I decided to merge back with my Doppelganger, now turned into a Great Divine Dragon Spirit, things changed a lot.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

FLAAASH!

"Ungh?! T-This power...!" I felt a sudden pain through my body, but it washed away almost instantly after, as I felt relieved.

As I felt an immense explosion of power surging through my body, my appearance changed, becoming a fusion between my current form and the divine spirit doppelganger appearance. "Huh?"

In resume, I became more handsome and slender, less bulky-looking, and a bit taller. My scales became mostly rainbow, but had a silvery blue hue to them, and my hair gained various colors at the tip.

I don't know if I exactly like this appearance, even more when my skin now became primarily white, with blue and red skin around my arms, part of my neck and chest, but it resembled more tattooed skin now.

"Hah... I feel stronger? What the hell?" I muttered. "I am fairly sure my Stats were already at max before, but they increased?! And this form doesn't seem to drain away any energy constantly either... It is as if..."

"As if you've simply returned to your original form?" wondered Andromeda. "Amusing! It seems that by fusing back with a Doppelganger turned into a Divine Spirit, your stats skyrocket beyond their base level."

"I... see. Yeah, I figured it out already myself," I nodded. "I also feel like my Spiritual Energies are mixing with my Ascendancy Law Essence, crazy."

And then...

Ding!

[You have merged back with your [Doppelganger]: [Great Divine Nine-Colored Heavenly Frost Dragon King Spirit (Rank 10: Peak Stage)]!]

[Because you turned your [Doppelganger] into your Familiar Divine Spirit, and therefore it has become its impendent being, your Stats had returned back to normal without the necessity to merge with your Doppelganger anymore.]

[However, after merging again with it, you have reached your {Divine Spiritual Venerable Dragon Awakening Form}, an Ascension of your former self, now being part Divine Spirit, you've technically Evolved.]

[In this state, which can remain forever active without any energy cost, All your Stats increase by 50%, and the Divine Power of your Spirit Magic, Spirit Divinities, and Spirit Divine Abilities and other Related Powers or Spirit Familiars increase by 300%.]

[While remaining in your {Divine Spiritual Venerable Dragon Awakening Form}, your [Mystic Spirit] Stat will increase passively over time, and your Spiritual Core will also develop naturally as the flow of Spiritual Essence reaches and spreads through your entire body.]

[It is also possible to separate from your Doppelganger at any time, where these bonuses will disappear until you merge again.]

"Yeah, it's technically as if I had evolved!" I nodded. "It's great! I should probably make the Spiritual Core right away, right?"

"The faster the better I suppose..." Andromeda nodded. "It would also be nice to see your changes and how strong you become after creating one."

"Alright... So I just think about it and- No, wait, I think I figured it out," I said, realizing that it wasn't as complicated as I thought. "I don't really need the help of the System either."

"Oh? Well, let me see then," Andromeda nodded, sitting by my side.

I saw down cross-legged, concentrating all my Divine Spiritual Essence into my chest area, within my Soul itself. Before, I would've needed to ask the System for help, as I was always kind of clueless about these things.

But somehow, I just know what to do now... Things simply click better inside my head than before. Was I that stupid? Or was there something else within me that my Psychic Powers awakened?

Perhaps Dragon Instincts? It does make our race brutish, especially young dragons who are still very beastly sometimes... Emerald and Surtr took a while to become a bit more civilized after all.

So when I gained Psychic Powers and expanded my brain, my dragon brain itself became larger and much more... I don't know, I don't want to say smarter because I would be calling all dragons dumb, and that's not my intention.

But things work faster now, and I can even run simulations inside my head much more easily, I can figure things out like this.

FLUOSH!

After I gathered the energy, I simply compressed it with my Venerable's Will, until it began to solidify, crystalizing, the same thing that happened when water froze into ice.

Even the water of the air, the tiny particles, once frozen enough, form crystals, this was the same principle, and I applied it to the Spiritual Core creation.

Crack, crack...!

The sound of the crystal taking form echoed, as I felt it was growing larger, starting from the size of a tiny pink finger, it expanded into the length of an apple.

And then... twice as big as that.

"I think this is my limit for now..."

I tried expanding it further, but I saw cracks appearing, so I reversed it back to before that, healing the cracks and... finishing the process.

FLAAASH!

A massive explosion of rainbow spiritual energies exploded from my body once I finally finished, as the Spiritual Core rested within my Soul, rotating around the Divine Titan Soul

Heart.

"It's done! And it seems to be rainbow-colored," I smiled. "Supposedly, it means it has affinity with most elements!"

"Oooh! It worked!" Andromeda nodded, as she felt within the system that it had all been properly assimilated.

Ding!

[Congratulations! You have successfully forged your [Spirit Core]: [Nine-Colored Rainbow Frost Core!]

[Your Spirit Core current Realm is [Novice Spirit Realm: Rank 1 (Initial Stage)]!]

[Refine more Spiritual Essence into your Spirit Core to gain more power and grow your Spirit Core to its fullest potential!]

[With each Rank, your Spirit Core will grant you additional Stats and strengthen all Spirit- related Abilities, Familiars, Magic, Divinities, Affinities, and Bloodlines.]

[You gained +5.000.000 Mystic Spirit Stat!]

[You gained +1.500.000 Arcane Force and Soul Ether Stats!]

"It's done... But looking at my Status, it doesn't seem that there's a number... So I suppose I cannot use my Ascendancy Law Essence directly?" I wondered. "It seems that... these energies are together, but at the same time, the core requires completely diluted energy, not the fused form."
