As she went through an evolution, Veronica found herself within another world, similarly to her previous evolution where she met Hades.

​​

She was greeted by beautiful scenery, and also the seductive voice of a mature woman.

"What a curious little soul you are… getting right into my own soul… I feel like I should fear you or be wary of what you are, but for some strange reason, I feel only attracted and interested… Tell me, what are you?" asked the woman, she was no one else than the Goddess of Night, Nyx.

Veronica felt wary of Nyx, after all, she ended up infiltrating into another world out of nowhere through her evolution.

She did not even know that the Samsara System had such capabilities.

However, because her consciousness appeared inside Nyx's soul, she began to consider that not her entire soul came with her, and only the part that held her consciousness.

Recalling what Kireina had once said, Veronica assumed that what she was experiencing might be similar to what Kireina had gone through when she was 'summoned' by Ervas.

Mind was part of the soul, and for someone such as Veronica, who had no brain nor flesh to store her mind, her soul was her everything.

Naturally, her consciousness took a large part of her soul, and when she somehow ended in this place once more through her evolution, the part of her soul should be quite strong.

But it was small enough for Nyx to see it as quite insignificant…

"I… What is this place?" asked Veronica.

"Hm? You do not know? How odd… For a soul to simply appear inside of my own. This feels oddly prophetic. Especially because of the similarities we share… Although you also remind me of Hades, oddly enough… Oh, and this place? This is my palace, I usually come here when I feel like I want to be alone, although it could be said that I live in the Underworld with my children," said Nyx.

"I-I see… Yeah, it seems like I came to another world again… (Why is this even happening? Is the Samsara System malfunctioning? Wait… I remember that this System was supposedly made by a Transmigration God, right? And he even said that whenever we died, we would be transmigrated to another world right away… Maybe the Samsara System has this function? But how can a God do that? Basing it off Kireina's words, each world has their own Origins and stuff, does the Samsara System creates Origins for me or does it make me ignore the Origin Core of the worlds?!)"

"I see you're talking a lot of stuff I don't understand quite well… But let us assume that you are a World Traveler of sorts. I have heard that those that attain enough Divine Power can begin walking through the path to becoming Overseers, beings that transcend space and time… Are you one of them, perhaps? Although you're way too weak…" said Nyx.

It seemed that Nyx had heard all of Veronica's thoughts, even when Veronica didn't intend to share them.

"You heard my thoughts? Oof, so that's how it feels… And Overseer? What is that?" asked Veronica.

"To sum it up, they're beings that transcend time and space. They can travel to any world and do as they please, however, there are many factions of them… Sigh, even as a Goddess in this world, my knowledge is limited. But it seems that there is a faction that is looking to keep order in the fabric of reality… Are you one of them?" asked Nyx.

"…Eh? No… I was actually a Living Armor, I come from a world named Kritias, what is the name of this world? It really reminds me of the mythology of my previous life world, Earth," said Veronica, deciding to reveal more to the friendly goddess.

"I see, so you possess some kind of ability that can imitate the Overseer's powers to an extent, but perhaps it is limited? Oh, there are other worlds with us? Mythology? So we are a mere part of the imagination of humanity in that 'Earth' of you? I see… Well, this 'world' as you call it is Gaia herself… Uranus is the Sky, Oceanus the seas, and so on… Although you can meet their personifications, their real bodies are what make up the world. But I guess we could call it Kosmos," said Nyx.

"Amazing… This world is really quite faithful to Greek Myth…" said Veronica.

"Interesting… Have you come here again?" asked Nyx.

"Ah, yes… I came here earlier, but I appeared within Hades… I guess there is no point in hiding that either, right?" asked Veronica.

"Hm, you're quite wise… Now, now, would you come to visit me again?" asked Nyx.

"Again?" asked Veronica.

"Well, you're slowly dissipating… I am still quite curious about what are you… Although this world has its own things that make it interesting," said Nyx.

As Veronica noticed, she was slowly dissipating, her time in this world was coming to an end.

"Well, let me give you a gift, so Hades is not the only one who gets a connection with you," said Nyx, smiling playfully as she released a piece of her soul, sticking it into Veronica's consciousness.

"Oh wow… Really? Thanks a lot! Although, I wish I could… stay here for a longer time! …Wait a second!" said Veronica, as she suddenly began to infuse power into her consciousness.

"Hm? Oh my, what are you trying to do?" asked Nyx.

"I… I cannot let this opportunity slip off my grasp! If I am capable of gathering allies in this world… I might as well sacrifice a bit of myself for that goal! Although… Nyx-sama, could you give me a bit of Mana?" asked Veronica, struggling to do what she was planning.

"How interesting… I feel that you may bring change to my world, more change than I believe… Very well then, little soul," said Nyx, as she began to infuse not only her Mana… but Divine Power into Veronica's small consciousness!

"Oooh?! This should be enough…!"

Veronica was filled with enormous power for only a small-time, although her fading wasn't being canceled but temporarily slowed down!

Suddenly a chunk of her soul began to pop out of Nyx's soul!

"I was already divided in two before, I can surely do this a second time!" thought Veronica, although her personality was cheerful and energetic, she was incredibly cunning, scheming something that might bring her great benefits!

Just like Kireina, she decided to descend into this strange and unique world, on her own accord!

Slash!

Cutting her soul off, she left away from a small, black-colored formless mass of ethereal darkness, which floated around confusedly!

"This… Now, I am leaving this gift for you as well, Nyx…" said Veronica, as she disappeared completely.

Nyx was left even more intrigued, glancing at the floating mass of ethereal darkness. Her size was enormous, so compared to this, the small piece of soul resembled an ant.

"Oh my, this world… no, this universe, is truly filled with surprises…" said Nyx while smiling, as she glanced at the mass of darkness slowly take the shape of something.

Veronica had cut her consciousness in half, leaving the other half in this strange, Greek Mythology-based world.

Her consciousness drifted back to Kritias, while a perfect copy of it, her split soul, remained within the world of Kosmos.

Veronica's split soul finally stabilized, as it activated its senses, glancing at its surroundings.

"It seems that things stabilized… Although the System seemed to get some errors… Though, I still have it? It might be just as I thought, the Samsara System can let the Souls that possess it travel to other Worlds… I don't even feel any more pressure from this World's Laws or something… Meaning that I have completely adapted to it? No…"

Veronica's split soul then glanced at the beauty in front of her, a big and motherly woman, with a sexy figure, wide hips, large breasts, long purple and black hair that seemed to reflect the stars themselves, her purple eyes flashing with yellow light as if she had a star in each of them, her lips painted of purple, and her skin as pale as a vampire, and her beauty enchanting.

She smiled playfully, as Veronica noticed that she, Nyx, had a soul connection with Veronica's split soul.

"Oh… So is this the little gift? A little you? Fufu…" laughed Nyx, gently grabbing Veronica's split soul as she glanced at her.

"Although we Gods are capable of dividing our souls, we had only done it very few times, I did it a few times when I gave birth to my children… But you, your strength is clearly not enough to be a god, yet you managed to do this? What is your name? I never managed to ask you," said Nyx.

"Ah, I am Veronica, and you're Nyx, right?" asked Veronica's split soul.

"Yes, that is my name. I govern the night of this world… I am often quite lonely, so having a little friend to always speak to has made me rather excited~" said Nyx.

"O-Oh… I see… Well, there is a lot to talk about, to be honest," said Veronica's split soul, slowly shaping into her humanoid form, although it was now shrouded in more darkness than before.

"Indeed… Now Let's talk, I am very excited to know more about your origins, where you come from, and what are you planning on coming in here… Because I am sure that you're not planning to simply sit at my side for eternity, are you not?" asked Nyx.

"I would actually love to… You are quite the charming woman, Nyx… But no, I have a few plans, and it would be good, to be honest with you about them. I feel like you could end up being benefited from them," said Veronica's split soul.

As Veronica praised Nyx for her beauty, the goddess released a slight blush as she smiled gently, hearing Veronica's words and story.

"Oh my… Not very often do people praise my appearance… Fufu, alright, perhaps you've gained a bit more of my attention there~" said Nyx.

Perhaps this was the beginning of a new friendship, and maybe something else…
