Upgrades

When we appeared in an ally that had dead soldiers in it, she had to focus to keep her eyes open. She's never used her mental energy before, so she doesn't have a large reserve of it. Her eye drains it quickly and she would have passed out without my intervention.

While she was stumbling out into the open, blood-soaked clothes with the royal family's crest on it, I'm using small hypnotic hisses to take her into a subconscious receptive state. I use illusions to make her look like a normal farm girl and aura to not have people noticing her at all.

She slowly walks her way to the city gates with little taps on her shoulders from me. The state she's in takes less mental energy so she should make it out of the city before she needs to sleep and recover.

While walking and guiding, I'm asking questions while she can't lie in her current state. "What is your name?" Or suggesting helpful tips for future training like, "Your eye can see differently depending on what you think it can see. Always keep an open mind when using it. Never think an idea is too stupid to try."

We made it out of the city with the revolutionaries in a tizzy because the bodies of the first princess Katrina and first prince Gerald were nowhere to be seen. Odd I was certain that the other royal family members were dead. Looks like we might be seeing this "first prince" later down the road.

We make it to a secluded area in the woods with Katrina about to collapse from mental exhaustion. I magic up a bed and put her in it with one final suggestion to her subconscious mind, "My words are the most important in dangerous situations, so always listen closely."

I left her with that, and she fell asleep on the bed with me back in my lamia form. I was slithering around and remodeling an underground base for her to use for training.

Now that she's asleep, I can focus on some interesting things I gained from eating law energy that was forcing me to ascend. Using it to empower my innates and other abilities was the right choice in the end because I could contest with mother. She has been training with her divine abilities and Sophia and Fitoria can't hold out for ten minutes, but my new form of divinity has given me a substantial boost.

I raise my hand into the air and have my instincts take over. It swishes through the air with graceful arcs that end in little flicks of the fingers. I move a bit more and point my fingers at a nearby tree. The tree suddenly turns into a golden apple tree that can produce enchanted golden apples from Minecraft.

Yes, it worked! What I did was let my instincts manipulate multiple laws at the same time at the divine level. I didn't gain any divinity related to plant life, but I was able to recreate what a god that does have that divinity can do.

I look at the tree again and prepare for my next test. I raise my hand like Rimuru Tempest would and activate my devourer innate. A black swirling mass shoots out from my palm and hovers over my hand. I bring my arm down towards the golden apple tree and the mass engulfs it, dissipates, and the tree is gone.

Part two of the test, I extend my hand to where the tree once was and let the black mass fly out once again. It converges into the shape of the tree and dissipates once the image is formed. The tree is there once again, but this time I have included the parasitic familiar ability I gained from eating the turtle corpse from the shield hero world.

I watch as the tree spreads out its roots to the other nearby trees and slowly turns them into golden apple trees as well. I check on the new connection I have with them and command them to only spread within a fifty-kilometer radius. I receive an affirmative and move onto my next test.

I focus my will power this time and overpower the very fabric of reality. I rip out the core of a bastard will of another world and use my will power to enforce servitude.

"GAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!", his scream shakes the land. I seal the area to prevent any troublesome problems from coming to interrupt me and after an hour of overpowering him, he's fully under my control and I tell him to stop eating other planets.

"Yes mistress!", he replies, and I use my will to put him back in his body.

With my tests done, I went home to rest and waited for Katrina to wake up.
