《Empress' Evolution》3. Useless Goddess
Advertisement
[That is good.]
The contract between the two had been established, and Lilith would honor this without fail. She lived by killing and deceiving people, but rarely did she agree to a contract. Because if she accepted one, Lilith would do everything in her power to complete the agreement, such were the ways of the venomous snake. Or was it? No one really knows other than herself and the Goddess observing her.
While everything was going good, she asked Alpha a lot of crucial questions to get accustomed to the situation.
She especially questioned what kind of being she was.
From the words of Alpha, this Ash Leopard was just one of her forms, and soon enough, she managed to grasp everything.
[All of it lies in the use of the System that you have been personally bestowed upon. Though this System is rather... unique]
And because humanity also had a similar ability, she grasped it reasonably quickly and managed to open her 'status.'

This was her first form, the Ash Leopard. Its status was meant for a Hunter, it was pretty agile, and it has good vitality. It had a weak MAG (magic), so it must be incapable of using magic that much, and considering its STR (strength), it was pretty pitiful for a hunt.
She decided to increase its AGT stats for future escapes and ambushes.
"The attribute is Water and lightning. I must say, that is a fun combination. Suffocation through Water and torture with lightning should be really interesting."
Lilith confirmed the stats of the Ash Leopard and initiated the change of form. She only needed to think about it, and her body would change; with but a single thought of wanting to change into her next form, Lilith transformed.

From a feline, she turned into a loli that was about the size of a one-year-old. She was around 70 centimeters tall and weighed approximately ten kilograms.
Her pale white skin, dainty little hands, and her soft black hair were her current form's characteristics. In the past, her beauty was alluring and devilish, but this time it was the exact opposite.
She was cute, in a heavenly defying manner. She was too cute for her own good. Even without seeing her own face, she could tell by touching and feeling her facial features.
A little nose, round eyes, a soft and round face, and even if she couldn't tell right now, her eyes should be sparkly. How could she tell? It was a loli, and she had read about [One Horns'] documentation before, so she was pretty sure.
In her past life, she adored adorable creatures. Though she also loved seeing the entrails of her enemies scattered on the ground, the sight of a cute and adorable creature was comforting.

"Oh, this time, the stats are different. Will I have different stats with every form? Hehe, this is turning into a bargain. One life three bodies; three different sets of specialties, how wonderful is that? Wait, I can talk! Hell yeah! I am almost human-like, and if I can hide my horn, I can blend in and kill some people if they let their guard down."
She may be adorable on the outside, but her heart and mind weren't. It was still the mind of the venomous snake feared by everyone.

However, even when she made a devious and smile, the only reaction she would receive will be demonstrated by Alpha:
[Aw, you are cute, I must say.
Haha, that was pathetically terrifying, like a child that had formulated a plan on how to escape nap time. How dubious indeed. In fact, the only thing terrifying about that is how you managed to look cute and become the fresh meat on some paedophile's/lolicon's list. Keep it up.]
"I'll poison them if they touch me even the tiniest bit." Lilith said back.
Alpha mocked, and Lilith casually retorted back. She was getting used to dealing with her personality.
Lilith observed her stats; it was clear that she was attuned to become a Sorceress. That insane amount of Mana alone was something of a gift from the heavens.
But in her skill, she noticed something truly bizarre. Nature's Beauty, just what kind of powerful spell was that?
"Is that some kind of mythical ability cast only by the strongest of Sorceress?"
She asked Alpha as she observed the only SSS-tier skill she had seen in this life.
Alpha was momentarily silent.
[...It can be called the greatest if you look at it from an angle. It is cast to create a powerful show that shall let a group of people gets distracted in a momentary state of bliss and enjoyment. And if you use it effectively, you will be able to gather the attention of hundreds of people to yourself.]
Lilith drew in a sharp breathe after hearing the description of the skill.
"It is that powerful? Such a powerful illusion skill; that Goddess is truly generous. But will it not upset the balance of the world if someone like me wields it?"
[Nah, it is a party trick used in entertaining Goddess, so you don't have to worry about disrupting any balance.]
Upon hearing the words of Alpha she Lilith had to ask.
"Huh? Party Trick? I am sure you mean the kind of buff that activates when I have people by my side, right? So, it can boost morale or something?"
[Yes and no, it can boost morale in a banquet, but on a battlefield, you will look like a clown. But hey, if you waste so much MP and make a fool out of yourself, they might die laughing, so why don't you give it a shot later?]
"So it was fucking useless?!"
She cursed and remembered her reverie towards the Goddess, and she cussed at it inside her mind.
[Status: Furious]
'Gift me a useful skill, not a useless fucking party trick! You useless Goddess, you!'
She sighed after letting her emotions flow out together with a volley of curses. Then, she moved forward, and her status returned to being calm. The thought of her next and last form popped inside her mind, and she remembered its name.
"Ravager Salamander!" Such was her next form, "It is a Dragon! Or its lower self at least."
She had heard the stories and documentaries of the one they call the Ravager. They have scales that are as tough as Mythril, Fangs capable of crushing a mountain, and wings enveloping two mountains.
That's the Ravager.
Even if it is not a Dragon, surely its devolved form would be formidable as well.
Lilith looked around, trying to see if she has enough space. She was ready; she was prepared to finally experience the power of the glorious Ravager.
"Ravager Salamander!" she screamed out loud to match the glory of her form, "Huh? Why is the grass around me taller?"
Lilith was confused, and slowly, reality came started settling in!
Instead of becoming a towering Dragon, she had become a Newt.
'Ravager? Dragon? Salamander?'
[Status: Confuse, Sad, Disappointed]
