With the system offline again, all the twins' group could do was wait. Roan went to train as normal. Rean went back to the Formations Repository. Celis cultivated as Kentucky stayed in the nest between Celis's branches. Luan already had his training menu ready for this and the next realms, so he also cultivated. As for Sesame, he found a corner for himself and simply slept. Sesame has long since reached the highest cultivation level of the Universe, so there was no point in cultivating for him anymore.
Outside, the Elder Devils moved around, trying to find Belial's secrets. However, other than the fact Belial seemed to be looking for something, they couldn't tell anything else.
Like that, another 75 hours went by in a flash, prompting the system for its second awakening in less than a week.
[System Upgrade Complete]
[Processing power successfully improved.]
[New Title Unlocked: Fragments Collector.]
The twins heard that and immediately stopped what they were doing.
"New Title? It has been a very long time since we last won a Title, no?" Asked Rean with some expectation.
Roan was aware of that. "Yes. Sister Orb, does this title provide us with any reward?"
[Let me check...] Sister Orb quickly focused on the system before answering their question. [Oh! Now, would you look at that? The system has provided you with one free upgrade from the reward list. Just in case you are curious, the title was given to you because you acquired half of the available Universe Foundation Fragments.]
The twins' eyes lit up. That was a very good reward for that title. "That's definitely a very good reward. Let's not waste time and check the Reward List." (Check the auxiliary Chapter Zero to see all the current options. The list is too big and will eat too many words that I rather use in the story.)
The twins' eyes immediately set on the most expensive reward on the list.
[Soul Gem Dimensional Realm Upgrade Level 5 - 5000000 Destiny Points]
"Phew... We knew that it was expensive, but looking at it once again makes me think that it is truly a ridiculous amount of Destiny Points," Rean couldn't help but mention once again.
Roan had one of those rare moments where he truly agreed with Rean completely on something. "At the moment, we have 1833215 Destiny Points. We are nowhere near having enough points to buy this upgrade."
"But then again, we have absolutely no idea what this next Dimensional Realm upgrade will provide us," Rean wasn't in a hurry to buy it, though. "Perhaps this free upgrade would be better used somewhere else."
Roan looked at the list and thought about the possibilities. "Back when we made our last purchase, we had decided that we would wait until we got 1000000 Destiny Points to buy the [Starlight, Soul Power, and Divine Origin Energy Fusion]."
Rean pondered a bit. "But we already have more than a million destiny points available. Would it be okay to use the free upgrade on it?"
"That would allow us to use these 1.8 million points on other things. It's not a bad idea." Roan had his opinions about it.
[I'll be honest,] Sister Orb also had a say on it. [The Soul Gem Dimensional Realm Upgrade Level 5 should be the best choice. I mean, even if you don't know what advantages it would provide, you at least know that the Dimensional Realm would increase a lot in size. Aren't we packed with Demon Beasts at the moment because of Sesame's contribution? It would definitely be in hand.]
[Besides,] she continued, [Can you guarantee that a free upgrade reward like this one would appear again? What if we end up needing all the space in the future but don't have the points for it? Since you have the points for the most important upgrade, the fusion of all three energies, you should truly take the Dimensional Realm Upgrade one.]
Celis, Kentucky, and Luan were also in the conversation. Hearing Sister Orb's words, they had to admit she made a lot of sense. "I guess we all agree with Sister Orb, which is a very, very, veryyyyyyyyyyy rare thing to happen. It's Sister Orb, after all."
[Are you all trying to buy a fight?] Sister Orb almost lost her wits. [Don't forget I'm your god when we are inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.]
Kentucky quickly raised his wing. "It's a joke, just a joke. The Great Sentience of an entire Universe wouldn't really take such words seriously, right?"
[Hmph! It's good that you know.] Sister Orb was truly easy to appease.
Roan shook his head, not willing to take part in that bullshit. "Then I pick the Dimensional Realm Upgrade. What about you, Rean?"
The decision had to be made by both twins as they both needed to give permission for the upgrade to start. "Alright, I guess we can give Sister Orb a vote of confidence here. If worse comes to worst, we at least saved five million Destiny Points."
With that decided, Rean and Roan touched the Soul Gem Orb and sent their request inside.
[Soul Gem Dimensional Realm Upgrade Level 5 - 5000000 Destiny Points]
[Confirm the Purchase?]
"Wait!" Rean suddenly remembered something. "During the upgrade, will the Dimensional Realm be closed? Because if it does, all the Demon Beasts will be sent out. How will we take care of all those guys at once? Besides, it will definitely catch a lot of attention, even in a place like this Sparse Black Grass Land."
[Oh, don't worry. There will be no need to send anyone out. The Spatial Abilities of the System have already reached a high enough level to separate the living beings inside from the Spatial Modifications that will occur.] Sister Orb reassured Rean, though.
"Well, if that's the case..." Rean sighed in relief.
"Yes, confirm Purchase."
[Purchase confirmed.]
[Free Upgrade Option available: 01]
[Not enough Destiny Points detected, using the Free Upgrade Option.]
[Upgrade Started.]
