Hello, this is your favorite Living Armor girl, Veronica!

​​

After defeating the assholes of Mason, Natalia, and the idiotic Lucas, I am finally going to evolve again.

Whew, what a journey this has been.

To think that I started my third life as a pitiful and rusty Living Armor, I wasn't even given a minute to assess my stuff and I was already thrown into battle against my father and my siblings! (Maybe, I don't think they are really my family).

And now, look at me all big and strong, my body is literally made of metal, yet I can keep growing stronger as if they were muscles.

But that fight before was really a pain in the ass.

Really, I am a good woman!

So I had intentions of letting them go if they didn't want to be guided.

Yeah, I am not lying there.

Maybe we sounded too eerie by talking with our Auras activated? But what did you wanted me to do? We had to have our guards high. What if it was a trap?

Well, the thing is, they attacked us!

How can they do this to us?! We were trying to be nice!

Fucking idiots, really, they slaughter me in my last life alongside all of my family and allies and then they come here all cocky about allies, and don't even agree with what I told them to do, so they attack me.

What?

And you call me the monster here? Come on…

That Natalia even called me grotesque or something, I don't want to remember it well.

Well, I ate her anyways, shrugs.

In fact, they're all eaten now.

I got their memories which made things weird, but nonetheless, they are gone.

Done.

No one will miss them.

Well, maybe Eustace? But mister Hero is going around the Apocalypse there doing… I don't know.

He has a kid, so, as a mother, I don't wish him any ill will.

Good luck and do your best there, mister hero!

Anyways, Natalia's flavor was quite spicy, but she also had a creamy icy feeling to it.

That woman was cray cray.

She was screaming things like "I'm going to liveeeee!" all the time.

I mean, are you Fire Punch now or something?

And later on, I heard Mason screaming that Ervas was at fault for everything going on in the future Kritias.

What? So we are at fault for the Apocalypse?

No, my man, the one at fault are you retards for helping Bestellen do his cliché villain plan.

Anyways, we are here now so that's not my problem anymore.

Actually, it is, I want to go back there and rescue the souls of my people.

…And maybe the Gods Bestellen sealed.

Damn it, I didn't want to admit it, but I guess this is really my problem too.

Boohoo…

Well, that's how life is chief, you worry about stuff and now it's your problem too.

Maybe I will slap the face of Eustace and hope that his head doesn't blow out of his neck, and then I will stop Bestellen.

With my adorable Ervas, we'll beat him up.

For that, we have to gather a bunch of power though… So Seashore Gods and the mysterious Vampires, you are next on the menu!

Damn, I am speaking like a gross monster that only thinks about eating people.

No, no, no, I am not like that! I swear to… god? Well, not to god, but something.

Aaaand then there's Lucas…

Yeah, we planned to let his soul be, but the dude was annoying us so much with his damn Cheat Ability, it was very infuriating, I felt like killing him.

And Ervas shared the sentiment because that's just what we did! HAHA!

What? It's not funny? I find it funny.

His Cheat Ability evolved and became overpowered though, so he became an even bigger pain in my phantasmal ass.

But now we ate his soul too, which was yummy, like eating a fresh salad.

And his Cheat Ability…

Oh yeah, Cheat Abilities.

It seems that we can acquire them, but they are so impregnated into the souls of their wielders that we had to tear them apart.

But if we were to tear them apart, they wouldn't work as intended.

So, we fused them with existing Skills at the end through the Samsara System's Skill Fusion feature.

I have been ignoring it all this time because I didn't felt the necessity to fuse Skills, but now it came pretty handily.

I don't think we can do exactly what those trio of comedians were able to do, but maybe we can use a few such powers in our own abilities.

I mean, I think I can now make some spells that can affect gravity.

And Shade began to glow all shiny too, so maybe she became a bit godly or something.

She's a cutie.

Anyways, Hekaton…

Yeeeaah, he went all Allahu Akbar on us.

Eh? Is that joke too overused? Well, get used to it then.

I almost died.

Being so overpowered as I am, with a phantom soul, a body made of metal, and more, I never thought I would almost die…

I was caught off-guard like all typical main characters who get too cocky.

I got too cocky it seems.

But my legendary Skill, Perseverance, helped me out.

Thank you, Hardworking!

If it wasn't because I killed myself working in my office all day on Earth, I would have never gotten it.

And this Skill was the one that became Perseverance, which saved my life too!

To think that such things would help me… Life is always filled with surprises at every corner, huh.

Well, now that I finished speaking with Samsara System-chan, I guess it is time to evolve.

Though I am so god damn comfy over here that I want to take a quick nap really quick.

But I have to evolve and get stronger!

Probably the Vampires will attack at any time, and then there's the Seashore Demon Gods scheming a hundred things while controlling criminal organizations.

We really have to get stronger.

We are also about to destroy another organization soon enough, which is linked with the Demon Gods and probably crush Aran in the process.

Huh, killing an aristocrat as big as him might be a nice way to make a zombie of him serve us.

Oh yeah, that would be quite good.

Anyways, time to evolve, enough blabber!

I quickly touch a few buttons over the holographic system windows as my evolution options appear before my eyes…

Let's see what kind of wacky options I get now…

[Available Evolution Options]

[Rank 12: Divine Boundary-Breaking Netherworld Phantom Hecate Living Armor Death Sovereign]

[Rank 12: Divine Dream-Seeking Nightmarish Phantom Hypnos Living Armor Death Sovereign]

What with the giant names?! System, calm down for a bit, make them shorter!

…

I guess you are not listening to me just when I am asking you something.

Okay… hm.

This is quite the hard decision you're forcing me to take.

Hecate was… I think the Goddess of Boundaries, Witchcraft, and Ghosts.

And Hypnos was the God of Sleep, I think, so I guess the "Dream-seeking" goes by that.

An interesting choice for both cases.

What should I pick?

Hecate or Hypnos?

Better witchcraft, ghost power (?), and boundary-breaking abilities?

Or being able to sleep well (?), and dream abilities?

Hm…
