Global Descent: I Alone Can See Hidden Evolution Paths

Chapter 62: Ice godess power up

The lingering starlight from the global announcement slowly faded from the open-air deck of the Void-Emperor Imperial Haven, leaving the central penthouse lounge enveloped in a tranquil, pristine stillness. Min-jae stood near the edge of the terrace, the cool evening breeze rustling his black hair.

Thanks to the absolute renewal protocol from Liu Xiao’s god-tier alignment, his torn muscle tissue was completely knitted, and his dark sub-divine armor plate was entirely smudgeless, radiating a calm, solid presence at 100/100 health.

"The external space lines are completely locked down," Major General Shin Ye-rin noted, stepping back into the lounge from her terminal platform. She unbuttoned the collar of her olive-drab uniform shirt, letting out a soft sigh of relief. "Min-jae, the creation core’s energy is perfectly contained within our inner wards. We have a clear window before the deep cosmic sector registers the God of Rain’s flatline."

"Let Chae-won prep the forge anchors first," Min-jae murmured, his deep baritone carrying an absolute, steady clarity.

He walked calmly back toward the large leather sofa in the center of the lounge, casually unsealing his heavy armor plates to reveal his simple black cotton shirt. The intense, life-or-death pressure of the previous battle had fully dissolved, leaving him with an unbothered, deadpan posture.

Before he could sit down, Liu Xiao stepped up directly into his personal space, her long green and white silk train trailing gracefully across the white stone blocks. Her exotic emerald-green eyes were still remarkably bright, shining with an unyielding, fanatical devotion that went far beyond the system’s baseline soul contracts. Now operating at her un-fractured 50% true capacity, the natural, sub-divine weight radiating from her exceptionally voluptuous hourglass physique was breathtaking.

"Your breath is steady, Min-jae," Liu Xiao voiced, her low, seductive melody carrying a tender warmth that caused his heart to skip a brief beat. She didn’t maintain a detached distance; she gracefully reached out, her slender, pale fingers gently adjusting the collar of his black cotton shirt, her full, heavy breasts lightly brushing against his chest plate as she leaned closer. "My master’s renewal code has settled perfectly within your veins. But your core spirit is still carrying the heat of that primordial ignition strike. Let me soothe your primary meridians."

Min-jae’s body froze slightly under her close proximity, a sudden wave of human shyness hitting his chest. A noticeable, deep crimson flush crept up his neck beneath his collar, his hands awkwardly hovering over her narrow, small waist as his usual cold "Monarch" focus completely short-circuited. He cleared his throat quietly, his ears burning a bit deeper as her fragrant lotus scent enveloped his senses.

"The attributes are fully stabilized, Xiao," Min-jae said, his voice dropping into a slightly flustered baritone.

Liu Xiao noticed his subtle embarrassment, her pouty crimson lips curving into a beautifully soft, happy smile. Instead of stepping back, she turned her eyes toward Gu Bylai, who was leaning against a nearby white marble column.

The staggeringly beautiful Ice Goddess was watching them with a quiet, hesitant look in her alluring icy-blue eyes. She was still draped in her ultra-luxury white and pale ice-blue traditional dress, her exceptionally voluptuous silhouette and rounded curves trembling slightly under the lingering exhaustion of her absolute stasis projection. Her current power tracking metric was stuck at a mere 10% capacity.

"Bylai," Liu Xiao called out gently, her voice carrying the absolute, majestic weight of a true god. "Step onto the cultivation dais with me. Your ice lineage was broken by the abyssal executioners, but my unsealed Yggdrasil world-staff can bridge your fractured mana loops."

Gu Bylai’s breath hitched, her dark violet lips parting slightly in shock. She walked over with a hesitant, heavy grace, sitting down in a perfect lotus meditation position atop the white celestial marble dais beside Liu Xiao.

"Min-jae, sit behind us," Liu Xiao commanded softly, casting an alluring, playful look over her shoulder at him. "Your primordial sun affinity is the exact catalyst needed to anchor the fusion code."

Min-jae quietly walked over, sitting directly behind their backs on the raised stone platform. He raised his hands, lightly resting his palms against the center of their soft silk-draped lower backs. The close physical contact caused both Liu Xiao and Gu Bylai to let out soft, synchronous gasps, a beautiful crimson blush covering their porcelain cheeks as his warm, distinct solar energy flooded into their channels.

"Initialize the core ignition," Liu Xiao whispered, closing her emerald eyes.

Voom.!

A colossal, breathtaking column of pristine emerald-green starlight and vibrant gold life-force violently erupted from Liu Xiao’s Yggdrasil World-Staff, completely enveloping both women in a massive, swirling cocoon of pure spiritual energy.

Liu Xiao didn’t just share her mana; she utilized her god-tier authority to forcefully redraw Gu Bylai’s broken internal source code. By weaving the ancient, light-devouring roots of the nature network straight into the Ice Goddess’s freezing channels, she bypassed the standard system restrictions of the lower planes. The raw spiritual friction caused Gu Bylai’s full, heavy chest to heave with deep, intense breaths, her exceptionally thin waist arching slightly as the massive power surge fused her fractured mana loops back together.

[God-Tier Subordinate Synchronization Success!]

[Liu Xiao utilizes ’Sovereign Flora Genesis’ to accelerate Target Recovery!]

[Subordinate ’Gu Bylai’ has successfully unsealed her true 35% Capacity!]

[New Active Subordinate Trait Unlocked: ’The Zero-Degree Glacial Armor’!]

[Effect: Gu Bylai can now project a permanent, three-hundred-meter absolute frost field. Any enemy entering this domain has their kinetic attack velocity frozen by 40%, while Min-jae’s active solar domain gains a 50% thermal fracture amplification multiplier upon contact!]

Crack!.

The emerald-and-ice cocoon violently shattered into thousands of floating white lotus petals and glittering frost crystals, scattering across the marble blocks.

Gu Bylai slowly opened her alluring icy-blue eyes, her face completely flushed a deep, sultry crimson as she let out a long, breathless sigh through her violet lips. The cold, noble detachment of the Ice Empress was entirely gone, replaced by an intense, fanatical look of pure, un-adulterated devotion. She didn’t care about her ancient goddess title anymore; she instantly turned around and threw her voluptuous curves straight into Min-jae’s lap, her slender arms wrapping tightly around his neck.

"This warmth..." Gu Bylai sobbed softly, her voice sounding like a delicate chime of glass as she buried her face against his neck, her heart racing violently. "Min-jae... my lineage is completely re-established. The freezing loneliness of the fourth sky is completely gone. My ice belongs entirely to your room."

Yoo Ji-a marched straight out from the training gantry, her long midnight-black ponytail swaying violently as her violet eyes flashed with an intense, playful jealousy. "Hey! I let you two synchronize because the boss was injured, but you don’t get to camp on his lap for the rest of the night, ice girl! Get in the queue!"

Min-jae secretly laughed at the chaotic, deeply affectionate warmth bouncing around his lounge. He didn’t push Gu Bylai off his lap, nor did he pull his hand away as Liu Xiao and Han Seo-yoon leaned their soft curves tightly against his shoulders. The domestic, romantic harmony of the palace lounge settled into a deep, unbreakable rhythm, their hearts completely locked to his presence with an ironclad love that had just rewritten the scaling of the heavens. Let the true primordial lords of the deep cosmic sector gather their star empires. With his queens fully synchronized and his gods unsealing their true power, his inner court was entirely, flawlessly unstoppable.
