The Absolute: Humanity's Second Chance

The two couples had their own late night conversations, and prepared to meet the coming of tomorrow in varying emotions.

Meanwhile, when this took place, the pixie prince sat atop an invisible chair up at the sky of the Realm. It was looking down on the two families in deep thoughts.

"Ah... two anomalies, one with an irregular, and the other with a variant. And as expected, each one has their own troubles." It said, smiling to itself.

Sorounding it's body, was gold and silver star dust, making its visage seem otherworldly as of this moment.

Then, abrupt and unexpected, an ethereal voice filtered through space and time, ringing like a heavenly bell, and commented on its thoughts.

< It's to be expected, isn't it? An irregular would do things that are out of the blue. Things not considered regular. While a variant would cause a differentiation to their intended path >

< Both are amazing aspects, but if you include them onto the path of Anomalies? Now that creates a future worth waiting for >

It said, and the pixie prince nodded. "Yes indeed... But I'm pretty sure Mrs Laura has more important business to do, than to spy on us feeble ones."

It said with a smile, and the ethereal voice erupted out into a fit of gentle laughter.

< Feeble ones? You guys? Hah!! You're probably the most favored race to ever be born, thanks to directly being born from the LORD's Providence >

"..."

The pixie prince kept quiet and watched as the night progressed, awaiting the entrance of the next day to arrive.

~~~

The next day, Damien, as promised, taught Juliette about the process of ascension, and led her throughout her levels.

"So first, breakthrough all the way to a Master Profession." He said, wearing long pants and a tight white vest on him for better comfort.

"Mhm." Juliette nodded, sitting cross legged on the floor. She wore a tight fit one piece gear, that would allow her better mobility and flexibility.

And as Damien instructed, she willed The Primordial Source to Level her up all the way to a Master Profession. As that occurred, Damien added.

"At the sane time, circulate your Man's through your Mana veins as fast as you could. This will act as a hammer to forge your body to better take on the coming modifications."

"Mhm."

Juliette hummed a response, and did as he suggested. Her Nigh-Infinite Mana was forcefully circulated, causing pressure to climb up on her Mana veins.

And this resulted in her feeling extreme heat that threatened to boil her blood to evaporation.

She bit her lip and did her best to fight through the pain. And thanks to her previous experience of burning under a star, and her natural resistance to fire, she managed to keep on.

After ten minutes of such torture, she felt her body's heat lower itself back to normal. She could now take on the pressure supplied to her Mana veins.

After five more minutes, she felt nothing from the process. And two minutes later, she could already feel her Stats increasing slightly.

A minute later, and the effects died down. The process was brief, just like that.

"Very good. I'm impressed." Damien said, and then added. "Now promote yourself to become an Epic Profession."

"At the same time, infuse your cells with your Mana. You have more Mana than I did when I went through my process, hence better progress. Now use that to your favor."

"You also have four maxed out Affinities. Use them to the best of your abilities, and include them throughout your body refinement." He concluded.

"Mhm."

Juliette hummed another response. She then took a deep breathe, and did as he told her, infusing all her Mana into all trillions of cells making up her physiology.

Each of her cells were infused with so much Mana, they surpassed even the natural reserves of the strongest of demigods.

Her physical Stats underwent another explosive increase. And feeling the changes herself, Juliette could not help but smile.

At the same time, her thoughts churned. 'I have four Elemental Affinities, and as far as I can tell, I can add one of them onto my body right now. But which one?'

She thought, she could choose Earth, but thought against it. It could increase her strength and defense greatly, but she had other plans for that Element.

Instead, she chose Wind. It's speed and flexibility being her major reason for choosing it. 'I was never a fight after all.' She thought.

And with that thought, she infused the Wind Affinity towards her cells, making them be composed of both Mana and Wind, making them lighter and airy.

At the same time, she felt her body lighten as well. As if she was constantly floating in the air.

"Very good, impressive progress. Now channel all that Mana towards both your Heart, and your Brain. If you can't do it at the same time, you can do it once a at a time."

"Remember, rushing things leads to defaults and errors. So take your time." He said.

"Mhm."

But Juliette felt like she could do it. And thus with that thought, she did it. She channeled her Mana to her Heart and to her Brain as instructed.

And as her Mana surpassed that of Damien when he did the whole process, she was able to connect to both her Soul and Spirit faster than him.

Thus, nourishing both aspects even faster than he did. At the same time, she chose to infuse the Earth Element to her Spirit, and the Water Element to her Soul.

The former due to it being impregnable. Earth was considered the toughest amongst all four Elements. Adding it to her Spirit/Will, she desired to have an impregnable Will.

As for the latter Element, she chose it due to water being a serene and peaceful Element. Which was what she desired of her inner self.

"Marvelous, loving the progress so far. Now, level up all the way to a Saint Profession. You have innately resonated with the world through your previous Elements fused into you."

"Now, try and directly connect yourself to the fire aspect of the world. Use it as a connection between you and the world, and perfect the harmony of all four elements within your body." He said.

But deep down, even he was not sure of the possibility of that statement. Hence he was looking forward to it.

"Mhm."

Juliette felt the uncertainty within his tone, and became stern. She focused on the Fire Elemental particles of the world, and called them towards herself.

And the elemental red particles representing fire threw themselves at her like a tide, but she was not phased up one bit.

Instead, she took a deep breathe and formed a connected with the particles. Which she would later use to resonate her three aspects together with it.

A bold idea from her. And one that unexpectedly worked.

BOOOM!!!

Her body exploded out with power, creating a massive wave of colorful aura that threatened to destroy everything around them.

Following the oppressive waves of power, was the complete process of resonation taking place between all of Juliette's aspects and her elements.

And with that being the case, her Realm of power solidified at the Saintess Profession, thus meaning that the complete boost of Mana also took place.

And as she was the Mana Derivator...

[ TING!!! ]

[ An Ascandent Achievement made. You have reached the peak of your Existential Level, and are one step closer to becoming the Derivator of Mana ]

[ Your Class has rewarded you with an explosive increase of 10 000% of your total Mana reserves, to prove to the world that in terms of Mana... you're Unrivaled ]

"...Ah?" Juliette lightly exclaimed, and so did Damien. "Hm?" He then froze at the sudden burst of Mana within his body.

"..."

...Just the Mana accumulated and waiting to burst out was massive, let alone the total Mana that would have accumulating after this whole process.

BOOOM!!!

Both Juliette and Damien's bodies exploded out into powerful, and magnificent pillars of golden Mana that connected both the heaven and earth of this Realm.

And the pillars were so eye catching that, the whole Realm's attention was forcibly caught. Including all pixies and all Falsarians.

"Oho... isn't this interesting?"

"Are they finally going to die?"

"Let's go check. Let's go check."

"Comiiiiiing~"

"Weeeeee~"

The pixies immediately dropped whatever it was that they were doing and flew towards the sight of the pillars of condensed Mana.

They were never busy creatures to begin with, and had children's mentalities.

Meanwhile, Flint, who was looking through the blueprint of their new home, and feeling touched by Fou's consideration of building him his own personal forgery... paused and looked up in shock.

"...Something is wrong." He said, but did not know whether to go check it out or not. But Fou appeared besides him with a small frown on her face.

She had a pair of square rimmed glasses, and had her long hair tied into a pony tail. She looked quite cute and beautiful. Especially so, as both wore long overalls.
