FLAAAASH!

Yggdra started overflowing with spiritual and divine power, growing stronger and stronger, until she finally evolved, growing much taller and more beautiful, many fruits started popping from her branches, and bright flowers as well.

Her roots spread across the underground desert, emerging outside of the Goldsand City and slowly spreading nature and life, it was as if even jungles started to emerge in this desertic land where life had long ago given up.

"Uwaaah, I am so tall now!" Yggdra said in surprise.

Ding!

[The Cosmic Throne [Primordial Spirit Tree of Yggdrasil] is very happy of what you've done. Her daughter has now evolved into a much bigger and stronger Spirit Tree, and becoming the World Tree of this world has now become a reality.]

[She is happy you've done so, as this also expands her family's dominion over the cosmos, especially in this Abandoned World, which is a Primordial Fragment of the Origin World.]

"Huh?" I wondered. "Abandoned World? Primordial Fragment of the Origin World?!"

Ding!

[The Cosmic Throne [Primordial Spirit Tree of Yggdrasil] laughs at your ignorance, saying it would be bothersome and annoying to explain, you should find out the truth by yourself…]

[However, she assures you that every step you've made in this mysterious world, and everything you've done so far is shaping a brighter future, even if you may not believe it.]

[As a reward for having made her daughter much stronger, she has decided to gift you something.]

[You've received the [Primordial Yggdrasil's Elixir (S Grade)] and [Fragment of the Crystalized Yggdrasil's Core (??? Grade)]!]

[Additionally, she has tipped 2500 Divine Gold Coins!]

"W-Wait, what with these insanely expensive looking items?! And what are these gold coins even for?" I wondered.

However, no response this time either… I guess I'll find it out eventually, somehow.

Well, anyways, aside from Yggdra who had grown and amazed everybody else, the rest of the Egos and Summons were already evolved with the exception of those that had yet to reach max level, naturally.

This was Yggdra's current Status. She had grown much taller and majestic than before and was probably truly going to become this world's World Tree, which might actually save it from its eventual deterioration and destruction. Her new Skills are all over the place, but they seem amazing, from offense, defense, to new abilities.

She can now use Manifestation to come along with us anywhere. Her Manifestation only carries about 50% of her total stats, but they increase as that skill does. She can also now accessorize, weaponize, and become an armor through such manifestation… or even her true body, but it is better to leave her true body here while she accompanies us in her adorable spirit form, resembling a cute little daughter.

"Mama, mama! Did you see? Everyone's happy I'm so huge!" She appeared in her Manifested form. "Hmm, I can feel something too…" She said, hugging me tightly.

"Something?" I wondered.

"Yeah like… there's something my roots are touching down there, a crystal. It was dying, but once I touched it, it began flowing with life again!" Yggdra said with an innocent giggle. "I think it wants something… It seeks its other half."

"Other… half?" I wondered.

"It says… you know it!" She said.

"Me?! I don't… really know what you're talking about? Can I talk with that Crystal?" I wondered.

"Nope, he says you're not able to…" She sighed. "Sorry."

"Well, whatever… But other half? And I know about it?" I wondered.

This… sounds fishy, but at the same time, it reminds me of what the Yggdrasil Cosmic Throne said. A Fragment of the Origin World, and all of that… weird thing. Maybe Yggdra's going to help me way more than I had originally created her for. And damn, she's so cute, she's already my new daughter at this point.

"Alright, want to go eat some ice cream with mama?" I asked her.

"Okay!" She said happily, as I carried her piggybacked.

In the way I meet Frank, Elfina, Sol, and Fiere, who were all gathered together, walking out of a restaurant, they seem to have gone there to eat some food.

"Ah, Kireina, you're here!" Elfina said, greeting me. "Oh, is Yggdra a bit taller?"

"She also doesn't look transparent anymore." Fiere pointed out.

"She evolved just now." I said with a proud smile. "This is her new Skill [Manifestation]! It seems her desire to come with us even farther away was accomplished, and this skill will help her do just that."
