To be honest she looked super cool!

But I guess she's still a bit weirded out about her own new appearance?

"So how do you feel anyways? Is it Death? I guess if you're the goddess of life, maybe you've unlocked Death?"

"Yes, it is indeed an aspect of Death," she said. "But something similar to Decay, Rotting, Withering… That kind of Death. It's different than Hel's Necromancy aspect of Death. Mine is much more… well, deep?"

"Oh yes, of course you're much deeper than Hel," I laughed. "Gotta be different from her, huh?"

"Well yes, of course," she smiled proudly. "Anyways, I am still trying to figure out this power, and… Well, I wanted to say something to you, Kireina."

"Hm? Don't tell me… a love confession?!" I gasped.

"W-What?!" she made a disgusted face. "No! Of course not… My goodness, what's wrong with you?" she facepalmed.

Woah, she really made a disgusted face.

My ego has been hurt a bit.

"It's not that," she said. "Kireina, please take this seriously. I… wanted to apologize."

Suddenly, everyone fell silent, me included!

Lucifer and Aura were also silent.

And me included.

She… she apologized?

"For what?" I asked.

"Don't pretend you don't know," she said with a serious face. "I have done you dirty, as they say. I provoked your death back then due to my own miscalculations, and even now, I was unable to help as I promised, ending up becoming a monster that threatened your family's lives. I have done nothing but fail countless times. I'm sorry, Kireina…"

"Flora…"

I didn't expect that such an ancient and prideful woman would ever actually apologize, but what do you know? Maybe she's actually half-decent!

"Well, we're still allies, right? So you can repay by continuing to help me, this time don't screw things up though," I said, giving her a handshake. "Alright?"

"Wait, that's it? You're not going to punish me, or mock me for what I've done? I deserve so much!" she protested.

"Hm? Why would I even do that?" I sighed. "Seriously, is your impression of me that bad? Damn… That hurt a bit. You really like to strike where it hurts the most, and I'm always just trying to get along…"

"A-Ah…" Flora realized her remarks so far had been pretty annoying. "I'm sorry… I… perhaps it's the age, I'm not that well in the head. You have indeed been very nice to me, and my people too. You don't deserve such treatment, Kireina. I'll try to do better."

"Well, that helps!" I nodded. "Anyways…"

"Is that really it?!" she was still surprised. "I don't feel like I've paid for my actions, I still feel this guilt… I've been trying to hide it for myself for so long, just thinking you kind of deserved that, but at the same time, I think I cannot treat an ally like that, even less one that has saved my life."

"Maybe give mwaster lots of treasures to pay for it!" Mao suddenly commented.

"It's not necessary, well, if you feel guilty that's for the better, simply help me out," I shrugged.

"No, she's not wrong, my Realm is very large, and has evolved and become even larger and richer," Flora commented. "Recently, billions of Divine Treasures have evolved into Cosmic Treasures. Would you like some as payment? I can also share Dao Scrolls and even Skill Grimoires from the old System, maybe they can help as well?"

"Woah you got that many things?! I thought you were a poor little supreme goddess…" I said.

"What? I am one of the strongest beings of Genesis that has lived for millions of years, my treasures are endless!" Flora laughed. "Come on, accept that at the very least!"

"Okay, fiiine," I groaned. "Show me your goods then."

"Here."

She quickly opened a portal to her Cosmic Realm, bringing out hundreds of thousands of cosmic treasures, mostly in the shape of all sorts of colorful plants, trees, herbs, mushrooms, and so on.

They were all genuine cosmic treasures, overflowing with cosmic auras of life and nature mostly. Despite being relative to World Devourer Realm, they contained a lot of Elemental Particles.

Thanks to these Particles, these Treasures, despite being lower level than I would have wanted, might even surpass Star Eater Realm Cosmic Treasures in terms of quality and cosmic energy.

"Woooaaahh! Thank you!"

I got genuinely happy, quickly using my Cosmic Aura to distribute all treasures across my entire Inner Realm, they were rapidly planted, one after another, filling my world with hundreds of millions of elemental particles and cosmic energy.

Ding!

[You have successfully planted 700.000+ Nature and Life Attribute Cosmic Treasures in your Star System Realm!]

[The Cosmic Treasures were packed full of millions of Nature and Life Elemental Particles and Cosmic Energy, further fueling your power and growth.]

[All gained Elemental Particles and Cosmic Energy have been transformed into Stats.]

[You learned the Skill: [Cosmic Terrarium Garden: Lv1]!]

[You gained the Title: [Cosmic Gardener: Lv1]!]

Woah, I gained more than I imagined!

I even got two new Skills out of nowhere, my goodness, not bad.

And also my other Skills related with nature, well, they're all automatically Level 10.

I had no idea absorbing so many Cosmic Treasures would give me such growth, excellent.

"Feeling stronger now?" she smiled.

"But what about you? This gave me so much power, won't you grow weaker?" I asked.

"It's the most I could take away without growing weaker, so don't worry," she shrugged.

Come to think of it, if these gave me so much power, and Flora said she had… over a billion, just how powerful is she then?

Is she already at my own level without even eating a star yet?!

Supreme Gods are OP even in other worlds where the power system is much higher than Supreme God Realm, damn.

It only makes you think that the only thing stopping them was indeed just Genesis.

Then how strong is Genesis if it could stop them like this though?
