NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1501: Ascension
-----
"One last time?" Blake asked. "So this is really my last trial?"
"Indeed," 0-6 nodded. "It has been deemed by our Creator that your power is far beyond what this System was made to incentivize growth for. Therefore, you will be released from it. You will no longer have level cap, and your Talent will remain as its highest point. Whatever you do from now on, it won't be provided by the System."
"Heh, understood," Blake nodded. "I still have the Grimoire either way."
"Yes, we know, that's mostly why we decided to just leave you to your own thing," 0-6 shrugged. "Once your companions hit max level again, you should bring them here so they get their last Rank Up Trial as well, you wouldn't want to leave for Hell without them being at their full power, wouldn't you?"
"So you know that much..." Blake squinted his eyes. "Indeed, I wouldn't want that... Now let's see."
Blake grabbed the Familiar Card, as it quickly began to glow with cosmic light and miniature stars.
This was the System's last gift to him, a Cosmic Being beyond Divinity...
FLAAASH!
The card exploded into cosmic light, rapidly turning into a small, swirling cosmos, and from within, a small sphere of blue, purple, and red cosmic dust and bright yellow stars emerged, only the size of a watermelon.
Surrounded by a spinning nebula of stardust, the little entity looked at Blake with two small black eyes, and a cute, little mouth with a small, adorable fang.
"Huh?"
Blake had expected something bigger and more intimidating, something that would make Lucifer scream in horror, but he ended up obtaining a little creature instead.
"What is this thing?"
"Gauuh!"
The small entity let out an adorable sound, reaching Blake and rubbing itself into his body.
"That is adorable, is it not? Of course, the card was random, it seems you got a rare one though!"
"Rare? This thing? I imagined I would get something bigger and more intimidating... perhaps a Stardust Lion, or a Void Nebula Ray... at the very least a Starlight Whale."
Blake had seen Cosmic Beasts before, and hunted a couple in his previous life, but he never faced the fully grown ones, always hunting smaller, younger creatures.
Why? well, Cosmic Beasts were the true rulers of the Cosmos, embodiments of the Cosmos and the Stars, primordial beings.
Whatever mortals did was beneath them, as these entities, once fully grown, shaped galaxies and even universes.
Taming one was simply impossible, and many had tried but failed, until now...
Although this little creature was technically not tamed, but summoned.
[You have received the Reward: [Cosmic Familiar Summoning Card]!]
[You have used the [Cosmic Familiar Summoning Card] and successfully summoned the Cosmic Beast Familiar: [Stardust Child (L+)]!]
"Stardust Child?"
"It's a special Familiar. Born from a Nova exploding, this creature feeds on Energy. Any energy. And as it feeds on it, it will grow stronger, evolve, become larger... take shape. Right now, the Stardust Child is nothing but an egg, it has even yet to hatch. In what's to come, prioritize feeding the child... you wouldn't want to face your enemy with the creature that had yet to fully mature, right?"
"Hmph... I'll try... I can't see its stats?"
"Unfortunately our System does not support Cosmic Beasts, they're a little... too strong. Your Grimoire, however, may do something about it, but we don't know."
"Fine, whatever the case, it does seem strong."
Blake nodded, feeling satisfied despite how it didn't seem to be that way.
"Now, we shall evolve your Talents once last time."
"Can't I fuse?"
"No, not anymore. My sister let you get away with it, but not now. Don't think badly of us, more than anything, we're letting you go, you can now even surpass what we can offer eventually. And I'm sure you will."
"..."
Blake nodded, as he saw his two Talents emerging as large spheres of power, white light fed them, making them overflow with new power, which then flowed back to him.
FLAAASH!
