Icebloom suddenly showed me a talisman shaped like a snowy mountain with his small hands. It was a magical artifact imbued with the element of space, crafted from clear blue steel.
“We use this Artifact to move to her Palace,” he explained. “The place where she lives is not on the mortal plane. You won’t find it anywhere. She resides only within the confines of the Realm of Everfrost.”
“An isolated Realm?” I mused. “I see. She must be inside her own Divine Realm then… That makes sense.”
“Divine Realm?” Icebloom looked confused. “So you know about such things?”
“Of course, I have my own,” I nodded. “Now, shall we go? I need to take her down as quickly as possible. She still serves as the ‘Link’ for that creature.”
“Creature?” Coldpincers asked curiously. “What… creature?”
“The Alien God,” I said. “Now, let’s move.”
“A-Ah, yes. First, we have to touch the emblem and then imbue it with your Mana,” Icebloom said nervously as I grabbed his delicate hand and swiftly infused energy into it.
“Like this, boy?” I asked.
“Y-Yeah…!” he muttered. “Um, boy? Wait, I think you’re confused about—”
FLAAASH!
Before he could finish what he was saying, we were swiftly teleported. I enveloped both of them in my Aura to prevent them from being dragged elsewhere, and all three of us landed at our destination.
We arrived in the middle of an ancient, ruined temple, covered in snow and ice crystals, surrounded by mystical-looking blue and purple trees made of crystal with glowing, ethereal leaves.
The sky was eternally shrouded in white clouds, with constant snowfall. In the distance, we saw gigantic blue mushrooms encased in hard ice, their caps topped with additional forests.
Mountains loomed everywhere, with giant ice crystals growing around, atop, or behind them…
It was truly a fantastical place, deeply imbued with the Dao of Frost. I could feel it permeating the entire ground.
This is a remarkable Divine Realm. I’ll happily assimilate it into my own Inner Realm.
“H-Here we are…” Icebloom sighed. “The palace of our Queen is quite far from where we are. She has never allowed us to teleport directly inside it.”
“We’ll fly then,” I said, beginning to float. “You two can still fly, right?”
“I can now!” Coldpincers exclaimed, discovering he had large wings beneath the armor on his back. “I’ve got wings now, Icebloom! Look! Look!”
“I see, that’s amazing!” Icebloom used his Psychic Powers to float. “Your new power is really great. You can even grow wings now, Coldpincers! I’m happy for you, brother.”
“Heheheh!” Coldpincers seemed thrilled, opening and closing his giant pincers.
“Do you want me to do the same with you, boy?” I giggled. “I could turn you into a card, and then you’ll become my property forever~ But don’t worry! You’d also be technically immortal and gain power like Coldpincers did.”
“W-Wha…?! Nah, I’m good…” Icebloom muttered, feeling a little overwhelmed. “At least for as long as I’m alive…”
“Hahaha, fair enough! Not everyone would take such a gamble!” I laughed. “Let’s go!”
RUMBLE!
I kicked the empty air, releasing a shockwave that propelled me and the other two at my side toward our destination. Icebloom hadn’t even told me where she was, but I could immediately sense the location of her palace by spreading my senses.
This entire Divine Realm was vast but not as large as a planet—probably about the size of North America—so it was easy to instantly analyze its entirety and find where to go.
“I-I didn’t even tell you where to go, Bing Xue!” Icebloom said, his long antennae waving in the wind. “Uwaaah! We’re going too fast!”
“Is it too fast? Don’t worry, it shouldn’t be anything you can’t handle!” I laughed, as I crashed through a mountain.
BOOOM!
Thankfully, they were unharmed, as I protected them with a blanket of my Venerable Aura.
“Um, Bing Xue! I wanted to say something. You keep calling me a boy, but I’m not a man,” Icebloom said out of nowhere.
“Hm?” I wondered. “You aren’t? Sorry, it’s hard for me to tell… unless you’re muscular and manly like your brother over there…”
“It’s fine… Though we females tend to be smaller and thinner like this, heheh…” Icebloom seemed a little embarrassed.
“Sis has always had a tomboyish personality, so I just call her a brother,” Coldpincers said. “It doesn’t matter either way.”
“I guess I’ve grown used to it…” Icebloom sighed.
“Well, I guess it makes sense you’re a lady. You’re really cute,” I said, patting her head.
“C-Cute? But… I’m an Insectoid?” she stammered, flustered. “You’re a weird human… What sort of tastes do you have?”
She raised one of her antennae while nervously coiling the other around her hand. She was indeed quite cute.
“Well, I do like all kinds of ladies. There’s beauty in anything feminine, I believe,” I smiled. “But that’s beside the point. Look over there—we’re already nearing our destination!”
“Oh? We’re here already?!” Icebloom was shocked. “Amazing! It was so fast! It would have taken us much longer to get here… The Queen used to laugh at us for taking a while. It was something for her to have fun with…”
“I see. So she was quite a horrendous woman through and through, huh?” I mused. “Let’s see.”
“{Divine Photon Essence Manipulation}”
I quickly manifested my powers, gathering a large quantity of Divine Photon Essence, endlessly produced by my body, and concentrated it into a single point…
The improvement of my Photon Essence through this Skill was phenomenal, and now, I was going to go all-out with it.
Or, well, a little bit, just for fun.
“{Celestial Sun}”
FLAAASH!
Coldpincers and Icebloom gasped, stepping back as they saw the gigantic sphere descend toward the temple.
“Let’s see how strong the defenses of her temple are.”
