Chapter 1573: Chapter 1573
After I distributed the Divine Throne of Floor 49 among my friends and Beatriz, a new notification appeared. My Ultimate Skill had evolved, unlocking a brand-new ability.
[You have granted Status to several powerful individuals through your [Ultimate Skill: Divine System]!]
[Your [Ultimate Skill: Divine System] has begun to unlock new functions and abilities…]
[Your [Ultimate Skill: Divine System] has unlocked the ability [System Player User Management]!]
[You can now modify the Status of other Players through the [Ultimate Skill: Divine System] and grant them special benefits or customized Skills, Privileges, and Titles by expending System Points.]
This means I can delve deeper into enhancing their power, even tailoring their skills, privileges, and titles.
However, everything requires System Points, so for now, I think that's sufficient. I hesitate to spend more System Points when my reserves are already lower than I'd prefer.
That might change once we exit this floor and advance to Floor 50, though now that I've learned my body might still be alive, I'm tempted to skip everything and head to Floor 1, where Earth is located.
As quickly as possible, to be honest!
No new notifications about Trial Rewards have appeared, though. I believe everything I've obtained so far resulted from defeating the Original Nightmare Curse and the Nightmare Void Dimension.
So I expect I might receive my rewards once we leave Floor 49, which we plan to do today.
Yes, I've made my decision, and with this final distribution of the throne, there's little else for us to do here.
Well, there's plenty to do, but time is short, and other priorities await.
It might seem selfish to the people here that I'm prioritizing personal goals over their world, but well… yes. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs nοvelfire.net
I embarked on this journey to grow stronger and return to Earth, and I must follow through.
Fortunately, I've discussed this with everyone, and Alma even asked to join us. After she pleaded for a long time, I agreed to bring her along.
This is why I didn't give her a throne fragment, as she'll be leaving this world with us.
The world still faces numerous challenges, such as the aftermath of catastrophic events that nearly destroyed the planet or the persistent Nightmare Fields, even though Nightmare Realm Gates may never open again.
Yet, over the past few weeks, we've worked tirelessly to help as much as possible before departing, so I believe we've done more than enough.
I don't want to say things like "this world was never ours to begin with" or something, because ultimately, this world and its people welcomed us. I've made great friends and found someone I love here.
This world felt almost like a second home, especially since it's so similar to Earth, evoking deep nostalgia.
So, after sharing a final meal together, we decided to depart.
"I wish you could stay longer, but I understand you must go," Sofia sighed. "We've cried, laughed, and shared so much, and now you've entrusted us with the great responsibility of protecting our world. I won't let it go to waste, Maria."
"I agree. I'll do everything in my power to keep this world safe," Emily said, winking at me. "Please take care of Alma, okay?"
"Thank you for everything, Maria!" Martina said.
"Make sure to find your sister and mother, no matter what!" Amelia said with a smile, embracing me.
"Take care, Alma. Please return before your old grandma passes away, alright?" Alma's grandmother hugged her tightly.
"Don't worry, grandma, I will!" Alma nodded.
Well, that old lady still has several years left. I used my powers to rejuvenate her cells as much as possible, extending her lifespan by at least twenty percent.
Then there were our other friends, including Lucifer's punk friends, whom he'd grown somewhat fond of, and many other students, even the families everyone had here. Some cried, despite knowing we weren't truly their children.
Perhaps we served as a replacement for those lost through the many loops, but ultimately, we didn't fully belong here. We have our own lives, dreams, and goals to pursue.
"Bye, girls! Take care!" Nyx said, waving at our friends.
There were also a few children from her class, very young Awakened Dream Warriors, whom I had little time to know but whom she always played with alongside Celes.
"Mama, I'm ready!" Nyx said, walking to my side and grasping my hand. "Let's go to Earth! I want to meet your original family! My aunt and my grandma!"
"Haha, let's hope they're still around," I nodded.
As everyone gathered to leave Floor 49, I continued talking with my daughter about the life she experienced here and the memories she gained.
"Was it nice, despite everything, Nyx?" I asked.
"It was soooo fun!" she said. "Even though there were really hard battles and stuff, I will never forget this world or its people, hehe!"
"I'm so happy to hear that, my love," I said, patting her head. "Hmm! And what about Celes? I've noticed you two growing closer, fufu."
I know they're just children, but children can still develop feelings and form sweet little relationships sometimes.
I believe it's cruel to prevent children from exploring their emotions. It's their lives to decide these things, not mine.
As long as it remains appropriate, I think it's fine for them to have crushes and fall in love.
"Um, well… Heh…" Nyx blushed slightly as she saw Celes and Nia approaching. "Um, we're still just friends, mom! D-Don't ask weird stuff!"
"Hahaha, sorry, sorry, I understand," I giggled. "Aw, young romance is truly adorable!"
As we gathered to depart, we walked toward the Tower, its gates opening to welcome us inside. Alma was very nervous, so I held her hand firmly, reassuring her she'd be alright, enveloping her in my Aura of Light as I extracted her Sorrow and Negative Emotions, helping her feel more confident and relaxed.
Yes, I can do this. By extracting Sorrow and other Negative Emotions, I can enhance people's mental state, boosting their confidence, strength, and happiness. But I'm cautious about overusing this power, as it feels quite dangerous.
"Alright, here we are."
