Chapter 603: Yasenia's progress!

Chapter 603: Yasenia's progress!

After arriving home, Yasenia entered the kitchen and silently began preparing dinner. She looked at the recipes and got thoughtful. 'Hm… There are very few Heaven-ranked foods that can increase our strength.'

Yasenia checked a list she had with many names, columns, and physical aspects like muscles, veins, resistance to weapons, etc. 'If my calculations are correct… Their combat strength should've increased by at least a hundred percent with my foods in total, right? Yes, after 1500 dishes, pastries, desserts, and more, the total increase is around one hundred percent.'

Yasenia pondered as she cooked a large piece of meat to perfection and used the juices to flavor another pan at the side.

Her tail was flipping the vegetables in that second cooking pan, using the juices of the meat to enhance the flavor of the stir-fried vegetables.

'Hm… I need to break through to the next level if I want to continue increasing our strength with my cooking. If this manual says it correctly, a low-level Heaven-rated cook can increase up to one hundred percent, a middle-level up to one hundred and fifty percent, a high-level up to two hundred and twenty-five percent, and a peak-level cook could increase up to 350%.'

Yasenia hummed as she used her spiritual sense to measure the temperature of the [Forest Rampage Tiger] meat. 'However, although we call the professions the same as the rank of the treasures we can create with them… I wonder if there is another way to call them. I should ask Mom.'

Yasenia heard the room opening and turned her face to see Cecile walking in with Kaleina around her shoulders. Yasenia smiled. "Sweetheart, baby, dinner is almost done. How was your day?"

Cecile smiled softly and hugged Yasenia's side. "Everything is normal. However, a certain dragoness was mischievous and made me wonder if she was okay?"

Yasenia smiled. "Is that little dragoness's name Kaleina?"

Kaleina tried to speak solemnly, failing to do so because it just sounded cute and crisp. "Mommy, I was a good girl! I didn't bother Mama Cecile!"

Cecile lifted an eyebrow with a laugh and agreed. "Yes, little Kaleina was very good. It was another, bigger dragoness who worried me."

Yasenia chuckled. "Don't worry. It was my nature that overcame my mind for a few moments."

Kaleina was clever and picked up that they were speaking about Yasenia. She slithered and coiled around Yasenia. "Mommy, are you okay?"

Yasenia turned her head to kiss her and spoke soothingly. "If you cuddle with Mommy later, Mommy will be better than okay! Little Kaleina should already know that cuddling with Mommy heals me better than any medicine!"

Kaleina hugged Yasenia's face and smiled. "Okay, Kaleina will cuddle with Mommy later!"

Yasenia expressed her happiness, coiling her tail around her baby's body softly as she used her arms instead of her tail to cook. "My baby is the best~."

Cecile watched with a smile in her usual icy blue eyes, one of her wings extending and gently enveloping them and leaning her head on Yasenia's shoulder.

After a while, they all ate dinner together, and Yasenia spoke about her evolved innate skills.

Evelyn was curious. "Did they change names?"

Yasenia shook her head. "The change is… powerful? However, at the same time, there is not that much difference. As you should remember, my innate skills are Sun, Moon, and Star dragon breath and dragon body. Then, besides those six, I also have the [Empyrean Cosmos Dress], [Empyrean Galaxy Domain], and [True Dragon Transformation], right?"

Angel nodded and spoke from Yasenia's lap. "Yes! Also, also, your Empyrean Dragon Authority is also part of your innate skills!"

Yasenia laughed and smooched her baby's cheek. "That's right, Baby. You remember them so well."

Kaleina pouted and bit Yasenia's cheek gently. "I'm baby!"

Angel was stunned for a second and felt her whole world crumbling as her eyes widened. 'W-Will I lose my baby status!?'

She looked up with her soft and big blue eyes to Yasenia, waiting for the verdict, looking as pitiful as if she was about to be condemned to death.

Yasenia almost burst into laughter, but she held it in. 'How can she be so adorable? I love her.'

Yasenia explained softly. "Kaleina, love. You are my little baby, and Mama Angel is my big, pampered baby. So, there is more than one baby! In the future, there will be even more!"

Angel's eyes lit up with happiness. 'Yay! Hehehe, not even Yasenia's children can steal my position away!'

Mirrory was rolling her eyes inside Angel's soul. 'Is it that important? Her love will not decrease no matter the way she calls you.'

Angel pouted. 'But Mirrory! She might pamper me less! If I'm not called Baby, the possibility is very high, like one in a billion or something!'

Mirrory was speechless. 'How did you calculate those odds?'

Angel puffed her chest and rambled at remarkable speed. 'You see if we analyze Yasenia's behavioral pattern with the environmental factors, we get that…'

Angel continued three minutes later. '… Moreover, if we take the usual gift pattern and walking posture during the crescent moon…'

Angel finished about ten minutes after that. '… In short, the fact that Yasenia's favorite dessert is a brownie with the insides still being liquid chocolate and added nuts would force us to divide the chances by fifty, reaching an approximate one in a billion chance.'

Mirrory was strangely impressed, not because Angel could come up with something so strange but because the calculations were not out of order by any means. 'You… Whatever. I'm going to sleep. Call me if you need me.'

Angel smiled. 'Okay, Mirrory! Goodnight~.'

During that time, outside Angel's strange inner world, Kaleina tilted her head. "More babies?"

Yasenia nodded and answered, unaware that her excessively pampered girl was explaining the probability of decreasing her spoiling slightly due to a nickname change to Mirrory. "Many more! So, don't worry, dearest. Even if I call Angel baby, it doesn't matter."

Kaleina nodded with a smile. "So, Mommy will always love me?"

Yasenia kissed her little mouth. "Of course! Mommy will love and protect all her big and small babies!"

Yasenia refocused on the innate skills. "So, where was I?"

Andrea smiled softly. "Explaining what has changed with your innate skills."

Yasenia nodded. "Right. Now, I can fuse them if my understanding is enough."

Kali blinked. "Fuse them?"

Yasenia smiled. "For example, combining the Sun- and Star-attributed Dragon Breaths. It is possible by using my Celestial Energy as a medium. After understanding Celestial Intent, my use of Celestial Energy is improving exponentially. Sadly, I still don't have a lot of Celestial Energy inside me. The Celestial Energy Star can maybe support four or five continuous attacks and take a day or so to recover."

Kali was impressed. "What about the other three innate skills? I suppose that the dragon body skills can also do the same."

Yasenia's smile widened. "That's right. My [Empyrean Galaxy Domain] has become more physical and will continue evolving with me as I become stronger. Then, my [True Dragon Transformation] has become [True Empyrean Cosmos Dragon Transformation]."

Tatyana commented. "Oh? The skill added the name of your bloodline. What has changed?"

Yasenia smirked. "This~."

Her hand slowly and gradually transformed, making a few blue scales grow on her hand, her nails thicken and grow longer, and the general shape slightly changing to a dragon shape.

Evelyn lifted an eyebrow. "Partial transformation?"

Yasenia nodded. "I still need to increase my comprehension of it, but I can semi-transform parts of my body. In the future, I'll probably be able to cover my entire body and become a humanoid dragon to increase my combat power."

Evelyn pumped her fist. "We've unlocked dragon di-."

BANG!

Kaleina blinked. "Mommy, how did your tail stretch enough to hit her? It also looked… pretty? Umm… Also, the.. um, the…"

Andrea helped. "The path, arc, trajectory?"

Kaleina exclaimed. "The path it took was very nice to look at!"

The baby dragon was very confused and awed after witnessing the profound tail-slapping Dao.

Yasenia smiled. "Don't worry, love. Anyway, my [Empyrean Cosmos Dress] has also changed to [Celestial Cosmos Dress]. Finally, the [Empyrean Dragon Authority] has become [Empyrean Regal Dragon Aura]."

Cecile blinked. "Oh?"

Yasenia laughed. "The dress has fused with my [Celestial Dress]. It's a very strong skill now. My aura skill has also increased in power, and it gives me a strength enhancement in the soul area."

Andrea summarized. "So, now your innate skills are [Sun Dragon Breath], [Star Dragon Breath], [Moon Dragon Breath], [Sun Dragon Body], [Star Dragon Body], [Moon Dragon Body], and their combinations. Then, [Empyrean Galaxy Domain], [Celestial Cosmos Dress], and [Empyrean Regal Dragon Aura]."

Yasenia smiled widely. "Yes."

Evelyn snorted. "Unfair."

Andrea laughed, dumbfounded. "That's too strong."

Cecile smiled. "As expected of my love."

Angel smiled widely. "Yasenia is the strongest!"

Kali sighed gently with a smile. "We've chosen to chase quite the personage."

Tatyana added. "Have your skills changed?"

Yasenia lifted an eyebrow. "What, do I need to spill all my skills now?"

Tatyana shrugged. "Why not? Since we are here, hit us with every skill you have."

Yasenia started commenting. "Well, first of all, all the Sun, Star, and Moon skills have become quite easy to combine thanks to my Celestial Intent, so I won't speak the combinations. I will just list them one after another as I did before."

Andrea laughed. "We would be here for an hour if not."

Yasenia rolled her eyes. "Darling, you are so exaggerated."

Evelyn encouraged. "Shoot it already! You are holding it too much. You should spurt-."

BANG!

Yasenia continued as if nothing had happened. "Well, first of all, I have the skills that accompany [Day and Night Cycle]. They are [Draconic Sunrise], [Draconic Sunset], [Draconic Noon], [Draconic Dawn], [Draconic Crescent Moon], [Draconic Waning Moon], [Draconic Full Moon], [Draconic Dusk], [Starry Sky], [Starfall], [Shooting Star], [Midnight], [Falling Sky], and the sealing skill [Day and Night Cycle: Sky Prison]."

Andrea nodded. "Quite a few."

Yasenia nodded. "I've also learned to use them without the form constriction. For example, I can use Sunrise without the need to do a rising strike. It has given me a lot of flexibility mid-combat."

Cecile blinked. "No wonder… I was surprised when you hit me in that spar with [Draconic Sunset] while making a horizontal strike. Previously, you could only activate it with descending swings."

Yasenia laughed and continued. "Then, the other skills I have are very varied. For example, other attack skills are [Sun Dragon Claw], [Star Dragon Claw], and [Moon Dragon Claw]. There are also the [Sun Collapse], [Star Collapse], and [Moon Collapse] skills. Then... I have the [Dance in the firmament skill], a battle skill that increased my proficiency in combat. There is also [Celestial Field Master], a skill that increases Moon, Sun, and Star attribute effectiveness while decreasing others around me."

Kali's lips twitched. "No wonder I can't beat you without Valeria's help."

Yasenia blinked. "Oh, but I'm not done."

Kali felt even her eyebrow, and fox ears twitch.

Yasenia continued. "I have normal domains like the [Scorched Sun Domain], [Freezing Moon Domain], and [Star Night Domain] besides [Empyrean Galaxy Domain]. They consume much less energy and are quite deadly. Plus, I also have my new movement skill, [Heavenly Constellation Steps], which is aided by speed burst skills like [Draconic Sun Charge], [Draconic Star Charge], and [Moon Star Charge], and also has a few levels and techniques inside. I'm still working on those…"

Andrea asked, stuttering a bit. "I-Is that all?"

Yasenia smiled, making her relieved, until she answered. "No!"

Andrea wanted to cry. "Of course, my love. I was silly; sorry to doubt you."

Yasenia said. "Well, there are the four intents: [War Intent], [Monarch Intent], [Celestial Intent], and [Blacksmithing Intent]."

Andrea nodded, crying inside. "Of course, blacksmithing intent is there. How could it not be there when you unlocked it in my face?"

Yasenia pondered and continued, missing her darling's secret cry for help. "And I also have the [Sun Assimilation], [Star Assimilation], and [Moon Assimilation]. Skills to gain energy mid-combat. I want to fuse them into one and maybe absorb Celestial energy with them, but my understanding of Celestial Energy is still shallow."

Angel smiled. "Now you finished!"

Yasenia laughed. "No."

Angel's smile froze. 'Eh? An error in my Yasenia archives!'

Yasenia commented. "I have [Heavenly Maiden Absorbs The Heavens], my only offensive Dual Cultivation Technique."

Angel nodded. "O-Oh. I see."

Kali frowned. "I hope you never use that one."

Yasenia nodded. "I agree."

Kaleina's head dropped, and she fell asleep. Yasenia's voice was very soothing for the little dragoness, and with a filled belly, the sleepiness came like an unstoppable force. "Zzz."

Yasenia smiled and cradled her. "Goodnight, baby."

Cecile stated. "Now, you finished."

Yasenia smiled. "Yes. Although, I'm developing three more skills… [Sun Dragon Roar], [Star Dragon Roar], and [Moon Dragon Roar]. A skill to attack the soul instead of the body."

Even Cecile didn't know about these three.

Evelyn gulped. "A-Anything more, love?"

Yasenia shook her head. "Besides the innate skills, there is nothing more."

They all wanted to slam their heads against something at her way of speaking about her NINE innate skills.

Mirrory commented. "No wonder you could hurt the Abyssal Horror."

Valeria blinked. "Wouldn't she be a decent match against it right now that she has reached the seventh level?"

Mirrory and Tatyana pondered. Tatyana commented. "It's possible, but its vitality is very high."

Mirrory commented. "Her Celestial Energy is very destructive. If she uses the five attacking chances wisely, she could win."

The other two agreed.

Yasenia was surprised. "I could fight against that thing? You are overestimating me. I was out of combat with just one attack."

Mirrory and Valeria didn't say anything and just smiled.

Tatyana commented. "Perhaps."

But the three were thinking inside. 'You are underestimating yourself~. The Seventh level of the Unification Realm is the second biggest jump in strength, right behind the half-step level.'

Yasenia looked at her dears and smiled widely. "I can't wait to hear about your skills!"

Andrea and the others felt pressure. 'Whoever calls us genius, I will slap them with Yasenia's skills written on a paper.'

****************************************

Author: Cough. Will it be too much to list all our girls' skills in future chapters?

Tatyana: I mean… There are not as many, right?

Author: About that…

Yasenia: I'm sure people want to hear about them. And those who don't want to… Can they maybe skip those parts? It won't take that much, after all. Two or three chapters at most, right?

Author: Well, you are right. I also have to say at least the innate skill changes of each of them.

Angel: Um… You don't have to list all my formations.

Author: I wasn't planning to, dear. I don't want to create a book while writing all your learned formations.

Angel: O-Oh… I see.

Yasenia: *Glare*

Author: Cough, I summon you!

?????: Hello!

Author: Hello~.

Angel: Oh! A question mark!

Evelyn: Literally.

?????: Well, I'm here to ask the author.

Author: Oh? Go ahead.

?????: What would have happened if Yasenia's rebirth had not taken place? Would her lineage have mixed with those of the two gods, and would she have been capable of transforming into a dragon?

Author: Well, the novel would've been quite different. Yasenia's strength would not have been as high, and her development would've slowed down a lot. If the same events occurred, Yasenia would've been unable to resist a few of the situations, like the moment when the Seniors pressured her with their auras.

Author: Regarding those two Gods... I can't say much, but I can tell you that they would be happier if the rebirth didn't happen.

?????: I see.

Author: Yep, also, she would be able to transform into a dragon. It is an innate skill. However, her dragon form would've been much weaker.

?????: Umu.

Author: So… that's it. Thanks for asking~.

?????: En!
