After I was able to finally take care of the giant monsters and free my friends and Flora (while having some fun evening things out with her), I saw the notifications, I had earned myself a few levels.

Ding!

[You and your Party have defeated thousands of powerful foes beyond World Realm!]

[You have gained a large quantity of EXP!]

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

[...]

[Your Level has increased from Level 52 to Level 71!]

[All your Stats have increased. You gained Bonus Stat Points and Skill Points.]

[Some of your Skills have Leveled Up.]

[The {Primordial Sin of Wrath} is pleased with the senseless slaughter.]

[You have gained +10.000 Hell Points.]

[The {Sin of Lust} is happy that you've finally met with your family and wants you to have some breeding sex with your wives.]

[You have gained +5.000 Hell Points.]

[The {Sin of Gluttony} is really hungry right now; you should eat some of the things you hunted!]

[You have gained +5.000 Hell Points.]

[The {Sin of Greed} asks you to quickly collect the Loot!]

[You have gained +10.000 Hell Points.]

Huh? What the hell is this? I guess the Sins have become quite talkative now? Is this the influence of the Primordial Sin of Wrath boosting the other Sins? Or maybe my evolution?

Well, whatever the case, that's a bit funny, but I'll ignore it for now.

I gained 30k Hell Points, that's not bad at all!

Ding!

[The [Primordial World Core] Skill has evolved into [Primordial Star Core] Skill and gained 1 Level!]

[The [Primordial World Core Master] Title Skill has evolved into [Primordial Star Core Master] Title Skill and gained 1 Level!]

[Your {Primordial Star Core} has developed two new Abilities from Level 5 and Level 6: [Cosmic Dao Fusion Alchemy Lab] and [Cosmic Skill Fusion Smithy]!]

Suddenly, the World Core within the planet rotating around the two suns blazed with solar power, finishing its evolution as it fully evolved into a giant star-like sphere of bright light.

It gained two new Abilities, which quickly manifested in two enormous temples floating in the outer space of my Inner Realm. One resembled a huge smithy made of black, red, ad blue stone, blazing with cosmic flames and surrounded by stars, the Smithy. The other was a huge laboratory made of similar components, with many utensils already included, the Alchemy Lab.

"Interesting, this Skill keeps getting better and better!"

The Alchemy Lab could help me fuse Cosmic Daos, something I had never actually tried now that I think about it. Mostly because it seemed ridiculous and out of my current scope. What was possible was create new Daos out of Dao Fragments though.

But now, fusing Daos together could give birth to completely new ones, or maybe something else entirely too!

And also there's... a Smithy of Fuse Skills? I can already fuse any Skill I want though, so what's special about this place?

Ding!

[The [Cosmic Dao Fusion Alchemy Lab] will allow you to combine Daos together into a brand-new Powerful Dao, or something beyond that using Cosmic Treasures and Essence as main ingredients, aside from the Daos themselves. Not only you can use it, but anybody qualified.]

[The [Cosmic Skill Fusion Smithy] is a special smithy where you can combine as many Skills as you want together, the skill point cost is the same, but there's no limit to how many skills you can fuse and if they are not of max level either. though max level skills will result in better skills when combined with one another. You will also be able to add physical Cosmic Treasures and other Materials to enhance the production of the new skills and make them even stronger. Not only you can use it, but anybody qualified.]

Wow okay, I get it now then.

I still have some skill fusion tickets, and also more treasure chests I have yet to open, so there's plenty of rewards before I touch these completely.

However...

"For now, let's quickly extract all of this, shall we?" I said with a smile.

"Extract it?" wondered Ailine confused.

"Yeah dear, remember mama's ability?" I asked.

"Oh, the power to turn stuff into treasures?!" Rimuru wondered. "That's wonderful guu!"

"Yep, let's do that for now!" I waved my hand.

"{Primordial Star Core Ability}: {Cosmic Treasure Prize Drop}!"

With a single command, all the corpses of almost two thousand foes including the leftover pieces of the three gigantic foes I fought quickly began glowing brightly, being turned into all matter of materials.

Not only just treasure chests, but also Cosmic Treasures materialized out of them, precious for me as I needed them for my Star-Harvesting Cosmic Artifact fuel.

Ding!

[You have activated the [Primordial Star Core Ability]: [Cosmic Treasure Prize Drop]!]

[All selected targets essence has been absorbed and transformed into Loot!]

[You have extracted: [Cosmic Spirit Treasures] x923, [Cosmic Miasmic Treasures] x1029, [Cosmic Vampire Treasures] x321!]

[Fusing Loot together to create highest quality Loot... Complete]

[You have extracted: [Cosmic Spirit Beast Treasure Chest (S+++ Grade)] x100 [Cosmic Miasmic

Beast Treasure Chest (S+++ Grade)] x100 [Divine Cosmic Spirit Elixir (SS Grade)] x30 [Abyssal Cosmic Miasma Elixir (SS Grade)] x30 [Mixed Cosmic Spiritual Miasmic Soul Shards (SS

Grade)] x50...]

[All Treasures have been stored inside of your Inventory.]

The Treasures came in all shapes and sizes, some were huge flowers, other trees, some were giant stones, crystals, ice, floating spiritual water, clouds, and so on. These were all materials and different from treasure chests.

After they entered my inventory, I quickly placed them inside of my Star Realm and scattered them around the entire planet and some of the outer space areas, so they could fully assimilate with the Realm and passively increase my Cosmic Power and Essence Restoration

Speed.

Aside from that, I also divided the other half and sent them to the Star Harvesting Artifact, fueling it so it could continue dividing the stars already harvested and then restoring them.

With that, I think I can get five more stars... if I use the other half of the materials, five more or four, I guess I need more cosmic treasures. There's no guarantee a small star would be enough for someone to get to star realm after all.

And what's better than grinding for that? More foes defeated, more cosmic treasures, more stars for everyone to feed on, and I also get stronger, a win-win.

And it also looks like there's a lot going on in here, so even more opportunities for me to

strike rich and get as much treasures as I can...

"Woah, so many treasure chests!" said Ailine, looking at the pile of items.

"Yeah guuu!" said Rimuru. "Honey, will you share?"

"Of course!" I nodded, patting her head. "I won't really grow stronger with these anyways, I

need bigger prey myself. But I'll distribute them equally among everyone involved. I'll keep the Elixirs and the Soul Shards."

"Thank you! You're so generous guu!" Rimuru was a bit happy. "Maybe we can get stronger with whatever is inside the contents guu!"

"Ah, well, you're definitely getting stronger, for sure," I nodded with a smile. "Time to quickly eat something before we depart, come on, let's go!"

I brought Ailine in my arms as we rushed to gather together, and then we entered my Divine

Realm, where Lucifer and Aura were also waiting for me.

We were going to just take a thirty-minute break so they can eat Cosmic Dishes before

departing again.
