Chapter 990: Evolving Divine Beast Skills!
-----
As I talked with Titania, yet another system message popped up, one I had not noticed earlier, but that I could now completely feel within me.
Ding!
[The [Divine Lightning Horn: Lv99/100 (Divine Beast Skill)] Skill has Leveled up to Level 100/100!]
[The [Black Vines of Steel: Lv99/100 (Divine Beast Skill)] Skill has Leveled up to Level 100/100!]
[The [Colony Mind: Lv99/100 (Divine Beast Skill)] Skill has Leveled up to Level 100/100!]
[The [Space-Traversing Eldritch Body: Lv99/100 (Divine Beast Skill)] Skill has Leveled up to Level 100/100!]
[The [Divine Domain Of The Holy Golden Koi Spring Palace: Lv99/100 (Divine Beast Skill)] Skill has Leveled up to Level 100/100!]
Through all the battles so far, these Skills have been Leveling Up like crazy, especially with the bonus EXP gained from being near the Divine Beast Familiar related to each Skill in question.
However, the notifications didn't end there.
[Congratulations! All of your equipped Divine Beast Skills have reached Max Level.]
[Each Skill can now either Evolve into a stronger version of the same Skill with some extra abilities or perks or become available for Skill Fusion.]
[Divine Beast Skills will not cost any Skill Points in the Skill Fusion process of the Skill Forge, so fuse them to your heart's content.]
Now, I can either evolve them or fuse them together. Although evolution sounds appealing, that wouldn't free any Skill Slots, and I really want to free some! If I keep ranking up then I'll need more and more slots, and the System is always stingy about them. Even with a Subclass, I never have enough for everything I want, dang it!
I have to think fast though.
So, should I fuse them? To what do I fuse them into? I guess the easiest pick would be the horns, and then the vines. Do I combine them together? But that would be kind of strange. What would I get out of combining lightning-producing horns and metallic vines?
Then there's Colony Mind. I would rather leave that one intact- No, maybe I should evolve it? It is one of the few really useful Skills I can't afford to fuse away and end up making it, so it become something worse by accident.
And then the Space Traversing Skill and the Domain. I think I can sacrifice the Domain Skill into a fusion, but what about the Space Traversing one? That's also pretty useful. I guess the Space Traversing and the Colony Mind Skills should be kept and just evolved into better forms.
Yeah, let's do that first.
Ding!
[You have chosen to evolve the [Colony Mind: Lv100/100 (Divine Beast Skill)] Skill!]
[The Skill: [Colony Mind: Lv100/100 (Divine Beast Skill)] has evolved into the [Myriad Minds: Lv1/200 (Divine Beast Skill) (Evolved I)] Skill!]
[You have chosen to evolve the [Space-Traversing Eldritch Body: Lv100/100 (Divine Beast Skill)] Skill!]
[The Skill: [Space-Traversing Eldritch Body: Lv100/100 (Divine Beast Skill)] has evolved into the [Space-Warping Eldritch Spirit Body: Lv1/200 (Divine Beast Skill) (Evolved I)] Skill!]
Okay, first of all, the names already sound great. Second, they gained an "(Evolved I)" thingy at the end of the Skill name. Does this mean it has a grade, and its grade is "I" which means 1? So these skills can go past a single evolution and get higher and stronger ranks of evolution, I would assume.
Interesting, but it doesn't mean I'll just let the others evolve. These two were just that amazing and important. Now let's check them!

[Myriad Minds: Lv1/200 (Divine Beast Skill) (Evolved I)]
The Evolution of the [Colony Mind] Divine Beast Skill Inherited from your {Divine Beast Familiar}: [Terra]. This Skill cannot be leveled up through Skill Points and can only Level Up through constant usage of the Skill.
Through the Activation of this Skill, your mind can be divided through a series of bodies of your own, previous creation that are connected to both your Soul and Mind. Not only that, but you can surpass your previous limits and deposit several minds within these bodies to enhance the ability to multi-task, creating a Myriad of Minds.
The Myriad Minds will work and imitate the main Mind which they are connected to, without putting too much strain into it. Minds added to the Myriad Minds will become autonomous yet will follow any orders you give to them. You can also share your thoughts or place your mind into any mind at any time and share it with their Myriad Minds connected to it.
Your Mind Strength, Mind Capacity, and Mind Stamina increases by +550%, with an additional +2.5% with each Skill Level. This will directly enhance the Potency of your Soul, as it will contain your Mind due to your body's lack of a brain organ.
Your Soul has become stronger as a result, its Soul Power, Soul Stamina, and Soul Regeneration have increased by +100%, with an additional +1% with each Skill Level.
By the constant usage of this Skill, you have awakened some new Mind Abilities and Psychic Abilities, which grow in Power and Effects by +1.5% with each Skill Level:
{Telepathy}: You can connect your Mind Waves with the Mind of another target and directly speak inside their minds. Targets must be willing to let you speak inside their minds for the process to be secure. When using this on a foe, it might be possible to attack their Minds instead, though the power of such an Attack will be based on the Skill Level and the Power of your Soul.
{Telekinesis}: By spending Mana, you can wield Psychic Powers and manipulate objects with an invisible Mind Force. The Power, Dexterity, and Ability of the Psychic Mind Force is based on the Skill Level, Mana used, and the Power of the Soul. Invisible barriers of this Mind Force and other forms can also be created using it.
When fighting alongside Terra, Skill EXP earned increases by x10.

Woah, this is amazing! It became so much better now! Myriad Minds! I can make many, many minds and tell them to do things automatically! This means I can make Skills automatically activate using them.
Isn't that incredible?! And above all, my Soul, it feels so strong out of nowhere, so large, so dense, so powerful. If I had met Yggdrasil with this new enhanced Soul, I don't think I would have almost died…
And that's without mentioning the Telepathy and Telekinesis!
