All of the remaining energies that flowed through the ritual chamber suddenly began to pool into the robed female form that was beginning to lift off the deck and float into an upright position.
The resurrected woman began to spread her arms in order to welcome the influx of powerful energies even further!
No matter what sort of energy she absorbed, she was able to take all of it without showing any sign that she was suffering any indigestion!
Once all of the free energies disappeared into her incredibly potent body, the impressive feminine form slowly descended until it touched the deck.
All of the blood markings had evaporated, causing the chamber to look a lot cleaner than before.
Both Veronica and Helena watched with awe as they witnessed the return of a true primordial human.
The glowing body of their mother looked otherworldly in a way that was difficult to describe. Her skin glowed with sacred power while her movements made reality around her dance in harmony.
What Ves found especially peculiar was that his mother's glow had become a lot stronger and more developed!
The Oblivion Empress had become an entity that he could easily employ as a design spirit for the mechs of her own empire!
What was also strange was that lightning did not appear from above in order to strike her down for violating some kind of rule.
In fact, the space of the Nyxian Gap seemed to embrace her even more than before. It was as if she was operating in complete harmony with her environment!
"I... AM... IMMORTAL!" She declared, and the entire Nyxian Gap seemed to echo in agreement!
The woman herself cared nothing about this, though. She became preoccupied with another matter.
After a brief moment of concentration, Cynthia proceeded to transmit a pulse of power that soon generated a response a short distance away. "What...?"
Both Veronica and Helena looked surprised as a damaged crown appeared out of nowhere and landed onto Cynthia's head!
"M-Mother!" Helena gasped in shock! "That is impossible! How... how are you able to wear that crown?!"
Cynthia began to smirk as she opened her potent purple glowing eyes. "I have used the power of the Golden Laurel Wreath Crown to steal a portion of its authority."
Veronica's eyes pulsed in shock. "Wait, doesn't that mean...!"
"Yes, that is right, my son. To obtain a part of the authority of the crown means that I have gained partial access to the Water Scroll. The result is that I have become an unsanctioned Holy Daughter of the Water Scroll! I may not wield the power of an authentic Holy Daughter, but my gain shall weaken the Five Scrolls Compact. The ongoing war in the Nyxian Gap shall forever change as a consequence!"
"What?!"
"What!!!
Ves used to think he was special because he was a Holy Son of the Metal Scroll, but he learned later on that he was nothing compared to the more authentic chosen of the Earth Scroll and the Water Scroll.
Now, he found that even his mother managed to surpass him in this capacity.
Unsanctioned Holy Daughter or not, the ability to forcibly channel just a fraction of the power of the Water Scroll was a game changer that would shake not just the Nyxian Gap, but the entirety of human civilization!
The Five Scrolls Compact would definitely grow beyond pissed at what his mother managed to pull off with the stolen crown!
Just as Veronica was about to fly forward and ask her mother about the powers she had gained after taking over the Golden Laurel Wreath Crown, the cyborg cat suddenly froze.
Cynthia and Helena initially did not detect anything amiss. They flew closer and began to embrace each other into a hug.
It took a few more seconds for them to notice that the cyborg cat remained frozen in place.
"Ves?" Cynthia asked in an ethereal voice that was imbued with inherent charm. "What is wrong, my son?"
It took a few more seconds for Veronica to regain a bit of focus.
"Something has happened in the Red Ocean." The cyborg cat shakingly uttered. "The Mech Trade Association and the Common Fleet Alliance has broadcasted a galaxy-wide alert. The entire new frontier... is about to undergo an unknown crisis. The Big Two are claiming that the indigenous aliens are secretly deploying some kind of superweapon that will engulf the entire dwarf galaxy! The natives... are striking back!"
