Demon Queen Rebirth: I Reincarnated as a Living Armor?!

Chapter 422 - Enhancing The Skill Tree



??

"Mommy what are you even doing?" asked Kuro.

"Y-Yeah, could you introduce us to your new flashy powers?" asked Anna.

"O-Oh… Well…"

Veronica had to explain things carefully to everyone to understand, from her acquisition of the new Skills he had, to the gacha, to the blueprints, to the materials, and the crafting of the amazing mechanical items.

It was indeed quite crazy and insane to believe, but it seemed that Veronica finally achieved part of the dream of becoming a true mech…

And all of her abilities, not only the newly acquired ones helped her develop such power.

Ervas, in specific, found Veronica\'s abilities amazing and outstanding, desiring to one day see her become a full-fledged Gundam or some kind of Megazord.

Aside from Kireina who also understood most of it, the rest of the people present did not even know about the concept of mechs and other things until Veronica introduced it and showcased it.

They had never seen such high-tech mechanical creations ever in their entire lives, this was simply shocking and outstanding to see for people from a purely medieval and magical world.

Veronica\'s powers had simply reached the realm of insanity and it was as if the Samsara System was feeding into this and giving her the powers she wanted in exchange for all that energy she gathered through Skill Points…

Ervas felt a slight fear that such a thing could happen to him, and he was to begin developing a few tiny crazy powers of his own…

He already could summon creatures from another world, and had bloodline skill trees, he was already content with it… and did not think that the Samsara System could pull anything overly extensive or crazy for him…

Or so, he hoped.

"Now you can shot a giant gamma cannon or whatever it\'s called?" asked Kuro.

"Y-Yeah…" said Veronica.

"That\'s pretty cool! Maybe you can now kill Bestellen with that!" said Kuro.

"Hmm… Well… I don\'t know, perhaps not yet" said Veronica while rubbing her chin, actually considering the idea of ending Bestellen with a giant gamma cannon made her feel somehow excited.

Actually anything regarding making Bestellen suffer made her mildly happy.

Crushing the arrogant god old man\'s face with her iron fists was one of her biggest non-sexual fantasies.

Just punching him until his face was to swell all over and his teeth began to fall, his eyes turned purple, and his entire face was deformed and filled with blood… Oh yeah, that really motivated her.

But Veronica realized that this was not the place to go thinking such things for now.

Now that she got some powerups, she considered what to do now.

Should she keep saving Skill Points?

Should she use them in her Skill Trees now?

Veronica could not help but be quite curious about picking up Hades, Thanatos, or Nyx Skill Trees.

There is even a Legion, Kireina, and Araba Skill Trees!

Much like Ervas had already decided to pick the Dragon Skill Tree first, Veronica wanted to pick one for her first too.

After considering it for a good while, Veronica finally decided to pick Thanatos Skill Tree!

Indeed, the cowardly Death God from Kosmos was an attractive Skill Tree for her.

Thanatos was literally death incarnated into a god, it was possible that Veronica could get powerups to her Death Attribute Magic through it!

Although Skill Trees were fairly different than actual Skills.

Even though they were called SKILL Trees, by maxing them out with Skill Points you were able to get Abilities, not Skills.

Abilities were not stuck to the Status Screen of Skill List but could be activated any time too anyways.

They also seemed to have a different level of progression.

Abilities enhanced in power as Veronica poured Skill Points into them and they leveled up, they did not need for her to use them repeatedly through large amounts of time or leveling them up by fighting big baddies.

Due to this, they were a practical and quick powerup.

Veronica did not honestly know what could happen after completely maxing a Skill Tree, perhaps they would awaken?

However, by seeing their Skills, she could not really guess what could really awaken if the last Abilities were so overpowered.

And… wait, it only cost 500 per level?!

Wouldn\'t she be able to completely max out a Skill Tree right away then?

No, Veronica quickly realized that the Skill Points requirements increased with each branch and skill, only the first ones cost 500.

If not, it would have been quite too broken, don\'t you think?

Nonetheless, Veronica decided to see the Skill Tree in utmost detail before deciding to spend Skill Points on it or not. She wanted to see how good of an investment it could truly be!

[Thanatos (10%): 0/10]: The Divine Fragment of Thanatos, which you can use to enhance your closeness to Death alongside all of your growth related to magic, which might also include some fighting-based Abilities. Each Level enhances your Attribute Values a bit.

Additional Abilities Include: [Undying Hunger: 0/5], [Bitter Anger: 0/5], [Rotting Desire: 0/5].

>> [Death Deity Lord: 0/15]: Additional Abilities Include: [Frostbitten Flesh Colossus: 0/5], [Flaming Death Skull Shower: 0/5], [Skeletal Arcanist Black Thunder: 0/5].

>> [Death Demigoddess Tyrant: 0/20]: Additional Abilities Include: [Underworld Death Domain: 0/5], [Gluttonous Spectral Death Scythe: 0/5], [Necrotic Potency: 0/5].

>> [Death Goddess Empress: 0/25]: Additional Abilities Include: [Transcendental Enduring Undeath: 0/5], [Expunge and Modify: 0/5], [Demon Queen of Death: 0/5], [Divine Spectral Death Soul: 0/5]

Once more, Veronica was taken aback!

The number of Abilities there was as enormous, and all of them sounded pretty ridiculously strong!

She was rather curious about what each of the Abilities could do, but not even Appraisal could give her an answer now, no matter how much she tried to use it!

She needed to first pour some Skill Points and see it by herself.

Veronica quickly decided to max out the "Thanatos" Ability, to begin her journey through this Skill Tree!

Alongside this, Veronica also decided to pick the other three Abilities right after Thanatos, Undying Hunter, Bitter Anger, and Rotten Desire, which sounded eerie and mysterious.

Ding!

[You exchanged 7500 Skill Points!]

[Thanatos: 0/10] > [Thanatos: 10/10]

[You have maxed a Skill Tree branch!]

[All of your stats have increased]

[You earned Skill Proficiency Bonus]

[You exchanged 10000 Skill Points!]

[Undying Hunger: 0/5] > [Undying Hunger: 5/5]

[You exchanged 10000 Skill Points!]

[Bitter Anger: 0/5] > [Bitter Anger: 5/5]

[You exchanged 10000 Skill Points!]

[Rotting Desire: 0/5] > [Rotting Desire: 5/5]

Just as Veronica exchanged a large number of Skill Points, she felt the sudden rush of information and new capabilities directly into her soul!

[Undying Hunger: 5/5]

Even after Death, your hunger never ceases.

You can eat anything to regain Mana, however, eating the living grants the most amounts of Mana regeneration, alongside extra bonuses to all Stats temporarily.

[Bitter Anger: 5/5]

Even after Death, your anger over the living is incredibly bitter.

While enraged, all of your physical fighting capabilities are enhanced, but your soul is slowly consumed.

[Rotting Desire: 5/5]

Even after Death, your desire over the living\'s belongings is rotten.

There is a small chance that you can extract a small number of Attribute Values, Energy which can become Skill Points, and Skills from a slain opponent. (Skills are set to Level 1)
