Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System

Chapter 2231: Closing The Dimensional Cracks

-----

Celene entered a portal made by Drake, which also took away the entire house she was living in and immediately teleported it near a village of people living inside his Divine Realm.

The children were surprised as they suddenly saw the windows change from the middle of the suburbs of the city to a sudden and beautiful village, with a grasslands in the background, vast forests, blue skies, and snowy mountains.

"Wooow!"

"What’s going on?!"

"So cool!"

"Amazing!"

The children ended up rushing outside of their house to see their surroundings, it was much greener and even more beautiful than the outskirts of the city.

And it was also safe, which was a big plus, meaning that the children could freely explore the place without being threatened.

Although that may also affect their survival instincts and their growth, so Drake planned on doing something regarding training the young generations, so they don’t grow too complacent inside his Divine Realm.

"What a beautiful sight!" Celene said. "My own Divine Realm is quite different in comparison; it looks a lot like the Draconic Records Realm..."

"Is that so?" Drake wondered. "Well, there’s also some crazy sights here, just farther away, like the frozen lands or the dream lands."

"Eeeh? Really?!" Celene was easily amazed. "I think the kids would love to see that, right?"

"Yeaaaah!"

Drake laughed, as he decided to bring them all on a small trip around the wonders of his Divine Realm, he was quite weak to adorable children and loved to spoil them and make them happy.

He was a very indulgent father after all, and his wives had to sometimes reprimand him because he might make his children grow too spoiled.

"Aaaand done...!"

FLUOSH!

I slowly moved a Dungeon World Fragment toward the open hole through space and swiftly sealed it shut, healing the last bit of the surrounding area. The place was finally cleared.

"Phew, I think I was able to do this faster than last time. I’m getting better at this."

Thanks to my power over Gluttony having ascended and fused with my new heart, which was now a part of my Ascendancy Law, I could absorb all leftover energy without even needing to devour the corpses of the defeated foes. Most of them were already torn to shreds or burned to ashes anyway. I just synthesized it all into pure Ascendancy Law Essence.

I even managed to absorb some of the Dimensional Essence leaking out of the rifts, just to test if I could synthesize that too. And I could, so before closing everything I made sure to drain every drop I could, squeezing those dimensional wounds dry of their resources.

While doing so, I discovered large deposits of crystallized Dimensional Energy—vivid purple, red, and blue crystals growing along the spacetime fractures. They seemed incredibly valuable, so I harvested them and tucked them into my Inventory.

As I did, memories stirred...

That Dream Trial from one of the Demon of Dungeons’ inheritances still haunted me. The trial where I uncovered Jonathan’s past, the Demon of Technomancy.

His world had once been a futuristic version of Earth, one that dared to tamper with the very particles of space and time. They opened something called the Quantum Gate.

And from it, she emerged.

The Crimson Queen.

A monstrous lifeform, her form twisted like a woman in eternal agony, draped in red crystal. Her presence devoured Earth inch by inch. Her scream—that of a furious, suffering woman—shattered minds. Everything she touched crystallized: cities, oceans, even living beings. Jonathan and his fellow scientists tried to stop her, and though they devised a solution, it was already too late.

Only one thing was preserved: a sapling-like entity composed of golden and green crystals. It had never fully matured. Alongside it, they sent a supercomputer, Andromeda, hurtling into space.

Even now, I can’t help but wonder. That sapling. Andromeda. The voice I heard when I reincarnated. And the System that now guides me. Could they all be linked?

"Somehow, it feels like I’m slowly beginning to find out the truth of everything..." I sighed. "Yggdrasil... I need to get there before it’s too late."

I cracked my knuckles and nodded, content with my progress. No point in obsessing over mysteries I couldn’t solve just yet. Then I checked my Status and felt that familiar surge. It turns out those zombies and mutants did give me some decent EXP.

And why wouldn’t they? As the owner of the System, I always get EXP share, even if I’m not the one doing the killing.

That includes Archetype EXP too, if the enemies are strong enough.

And they were.
