[Level: 120/250] [EXP: 2.597.477.710.776.981/3.100.000.000.000.000] (Added!)

Oh, I wake up to see that all of my gained points have increased yet again by a nice amount, nice, nice, keep going like that!

Today was a special day as well, as I have decided to open the rewards, but before that, I began another side project with my True Body Clones.

What is it, you may wonder?

I remembered how Geie's soul was seemingly covered in powerful seals, Lazuli seals could note even compare to those on Geie, which seem to have been put into her by some kind of Great God, as the strength and quality of the seal was vastly superior to anything I've seen.

There might be the possibility of breaking it if I eat it… but the thing is, if I eat it, Geie might end up being eaten too.

There is also another possibility, to bond her soul to mine, similarly to how I did it with Blaze and Lazuli… and certainly, that seems to be a nice idea, which I might end up doing later whenever Geie gets a physical body.

But for now, I would want her to have clarity of mind whenever she finally gets stronger with Gaia's Shield and the Gaia Mountain Golem waiting for her. Both of them are important pieces that might bring her back to some strength, and possibly finally give her the ability to tell us how she is related to Gaia.

But to do that, I want to break her seal, but I just realized that since I was born here that I have been just using brute force to break seals, and that is how it always works anyways. It seems that the natural pressure and divine presence of my body and soul were even capable of breaking Begudhur's seal made by several gods, but from what I got from the memories I stole from him when I chomped on him a few times, he seems to have been weakening his own seal through many years already, so I only gave the last push.

However, in Geie's case, she has not done that, and the seal is just as strong as ever… And that is obviously pretty bad, I don't want that.

And I cannot brute force my way into it as I always do, so I decided on learning some kind of skill or technique to specifically breakthrough seals.

I inspected the Divine Dungeon Shop and found several Scrolls that sold 'Seal Break', 'Seal Destruction', and 'Undo Seal' Skills, all of them were around 40k!

They were pretty expensive, as the scrolls were all Legendary+++ and above, it seems that seal breaking skills are more valuable than others such as fusion.

But I do not need to get them, not at all.

By inspecting the Skill Scrolls info through the nice AI-chan, I got some of the info regarding them, and through my amazing talent to get Skills, I began to practice in breaking seals, which will give me the Skills for free in the long run.

But how can I practice breaking seals if I often simply destroy them without realizing it?

After all, I need to take some effort in breaking them to get the Skills, as if not, no proficiency will be earned.

So what I do is simple, I seal my own body and soul, and break the seals forcefully. Making seals is pretty easy, but it seems that breaking them needs some tech. At least those capable of resisting my brute force.

I make seals by materializing my own magic and binding it into something, such as my own soul and body. And like that, by using all of my power, I seal myself twice, soul and body.

This might be incredibly dangerous if I were to be surrounded by enemies, but why would I even do that to begin with, right?

So yeah, I sealed myself, and I underestimated myself a bit because this is pretty strong.

A seal made by my own self put into my own self, it is bound to be pretty strong.

So currently, my main body is completely bound from body to soul…

Haha…

Actually, this is not funny at all, I feel like an idiot.

But it is working, my seal is incredibly strong and resilient, but through my various other skills, I am managing simply fine, and I am slowly eroding it and breaking it apart, but this might take like a few hours.

But for that time, I also use my true body clones…

Oh yeah, my soul is sealed, but I only sealed like 50% of it, the other part was separated through my divine aura and I managed to get this other soul part to use my true body clones, so while my main body is sitting in the throne completely static, I gather with my family to open up the rewards and all.

See? Nothing bad happened… Everything is fine.

"Mama why is your body static?" asked Vudia as she flew around me, we were currently resting atop the castle.

"Err… well, let's say that mommy is practicing something in specific, so don't bother that one body there. I am currently sealing and unsealing myself to gain proficiency in seal breaking. I need to get something good with it so we can unseal Geie, which is most likely related with an old Great Goddess," I said.

"Oh! So that's how it is…" said Vudia.

"I don't get it!" said Ailine.

"Not me, it feels as if you're trying to do something stupid!" said Belle.

"Mama, why?!" asked Nirah.

"I may… be a bit stupid, but it is a good method. I believe that I might soon acquire more proficiency in a few Skills I found in the Divine Dungeon Shop!" I said.

"Oh, so that's your master plan? Couldn't you simply buy the skills straight away?" asked Ryo.

"But they were way too costly! Even with the discount… So instead, I decided to simply earn their proficiency. I didn't know I could seal myself so good, so it will take some time to unseal myself, but the proficiency of the act itself might net the Skills," I said.

"You were just being greedy, you get those points every day anyways!" said Amiphossia.

"Ah… Yeah, but still! Now that I got to do it, I better just continue doing it… And perhaps through this act, a new Class might appear as well," I said.

"Hm, mom, you're the only one who would think of such an insane method to get a few skills that you could simply buy… But that is how you are, I guess…" said Ryo.

"Mother, you're dumb! Hahaha!" laughed Valentia.

"H-Hey! I am not dumb, I just wanted to earn it this way, there is nothing wrong with it, my daughter! Sigh…"

Although she was right, I looked very dumb there all static and sealed… Although I am learning a lot of things by unsealing myself, this was an experience that I did not know I could do. There are still many areas that I have not completely explored.

Although I can create seals easily, breaking seals is another completely different dilemma, although I can simply eat them away, for the most part, breaking them apart with another type of power than just devour seems quite tricky.

"Anyways, because my children are all calling their mother a dummy, I guess I will not share any nice prize or delicious meal that I might get through my rewards loot boxes… what a pity, honestly, what a pity!" I said, as most of my children's faces changed drastically.

"Wait, no!" said Nirah.

"We'll behave!" said Vudia.

"Sorry mommy!" said Ailine.

"We got a bit cocky," chuckled Belle.

Although the little girls apologized, Ryo and Amiphossia only laughed… Well, they're my children so it's fine.

"Anyways, I will check these items now, finally, I got a giant list waiting for me in my Item Box…"

First of all, I will open the reward loot boxes and anything else that gives random rewards!

Here is the list:

[Ancient Reward Loot Box (A)] x7

[Ancient Reward Loot Box (S)] x8

[Ancient Reward Loot Box (SS)] x4

[Ancient Reward Loot Box (SSS)] x9

[Legendary Prize Loot Crate (SS)] x1

[Divine Dungeon Treasure (Lesser Heavenly)] x1

Hmmm… All of these look appetizing.

For a moment, I wondered.

If I ate a Dungeon Core, wouldn't I be able to eat these things?

So, I grab an A-Grade Ancient Reward Loot Box and open my maw, expanding it a few times over.

Crunch!

…

Crunch?

No, I do not feel anything crunchy, my teeth are incredibly strong, yet they cannot penetrate this thing. It seems that I cannot yet eat these things, their composition or something else is making it impossible.

Completely impossible.

I try to gulp it entirely, but the thing remains just floating inside of me, without beginning to be digested or anything.

Seriously?

Damn it.

Now that I think about it, why do these items are sorted through letters and not the usual Legendary, Phantasmal, and all of that ranks?

Strange.

Perhaps these ones are something different? A different kind of item?

Thinking about it, it is very weird.

Well, maybe I am just trying to find flaws to feel better with my own incompetence in not being able to eat a treasure chest.

Anyways, time to open them and get it done.

[Would you like to open the [Ancient Reward Loot Box (A)] x7, [Ancient Reward Loot Box (S)] x8, [Ancient Reward Loot Box (SS)] x4, [Ancient Reward Loot Box (SSS)] x9, [Legendary Prize Loot Crate (SS)] x1, and [Divine Dungeon Treasure (Lesser Heavenly)] x1 Items?]

[Phantasmagoric Spear of Eternal Emptiness: Ginnungagap (Heavenly)] x1 [Weapon]

Oh, so many useful items…

And is it my idea or did the quality and usefulness of the item increased?

I still remember getting some useless junk sometimes, but isn't all of this pretty freaking useful though?

And there are so many things that will quickly increase my power, even if by a tiny bit by how much power I actually require…

But still, this is pretty amazing.

Also, these last two items are the most intriguing of them all. They are two spears, the Khaos Spear is a beautiful and sharp spear with black, crimson, and purple colors, it also has many eyes within the spear, and it is as if it were alive, the presence of the spear calls upon me, wanting me to equip it through the System to make a soul connection…

And the other spear, named Ginnungagap is black, dark blue, and gray in colors, and it has a sharper and slimmer design, the tip is as thin as a needle, but it posses as much power as Khaos, and just like that spear, this one is calling for me to equip it.

It is almost as these were specifically made for me, the effects, skill bonuses, and all are just fitting for my capabilities.

…Are these like my personal weapons?

This is way too amazing.

Really, thanks a lot, System Gods…!

…Not like they can even hear me, perhaps they are not even looking at me.

And the other Items are just as good… I will use them later though, time to open the other items.

…Wait, what is that about a Bee egg?
