Chapter 39: Invisible Providence Zenith!
[After successfully absorbing the twelfth avatar crystal, you reached into your space storage and retrieved another one.]
[Within your space storage, there were thirteen avatar crystals in total—those you had obtained from Cerberus' death.]
[With determination, you took one avatar crystal from your storage and began the absorption process, aiming to complete your avatar's evolution.]
[This time, the pain and suffering were several times worse than anything you had experienced before.]
[Despite your strong willpower, which allowed you to resist Invisible Providence's rebellion, the relentless rampage of your avatar within your body caused unimaginable agony.]
[Noticing your distress, Evangeline's concern grew. She placed her hand on your back and began transferring her cold energy to you, using her abilities to calm the raging avatar within.]
[However, this time was different. Evangeline struggled to soothe the rampage, as the process of absorbing the thirteenth avatar crystal was far more intense.]
[You knew that if you succeeded, Invisible Providence would complete its evolution, ascending to a level far beyond anything you had previously known.]
[The process of absorbing the thirteenth avatar crystal was excruciating, far beyond what you had experienced before.]
[Every fiber of your being seemed to tear apart as Invisible Providence rebelled against the overwhelming surge of power. Yet, you persisted, fueled by the knowledge that this was the final step toward the complete evolution of your avatar.]
[Evangeline's cold energy eased some of the agony, but the battle raged on within you.]
[Invisible Providence fought fiercely against the transformation, its tentacles writhing uncontrollably as if trying to escape the inevitable.]
[The pain was nearly unbearable, but your willpower held strong, refusing to yield.]
[And then, as if reaching a breaking point, the resistance began to weaken.]
[The overwhelming force of the avatar crystal was finally being accepted, integrated into the core of Invisible Providence. The excruciating pain started to ebb away, replaced by a growing sense of unity and power.]
[A brilliant light flooded your vision, and you felt the world around you tremble.]
[Reality itself seemed to bend in response to the immense power coursing through you.]
[The air crackled with an unseen energy, pulsing in rhythm with your heartbeat.]
[The transformation was happening.]
[And then, with a final surge, Invisible Providence completed its evolution.]
[The change was immediate and profound.]
[You felt the immense power of your evolved avatar radiating from every pore in your body.]
[Invisible Providence Zenith had emerged, and with it, a wave of new abilities that reflected the true potential of your power.]
[As you stood there, absorbing the magnitude of your transformation, you noticed a new sensation in your tentacles.]
[They pulsed with a dark energy, one that seemed to hunger for the life force of others.]
[You instinctively knew that you could now drain the energy and life from your enemies through your tentacles.]
[The more you drained, the more you could heal and restore yourself or your allies. It was a power that could turn the tide of battle in your favor, leaving your foes as mere husks, devoid of life.]
[But that wasn't all. You felt a new layer of power within you, one that went beyond mere physical invisibility.]
[You realized that you could now erase your existence from reality itself, becoming "invisible" on an existential level.]
[For a brief period, it would be as if you had never existed, your presence forgotten by everyone, even those closest to you.]
[It was a power that allowed you to strike from the shadows, evade detection, or simply disappear without a trace.]
[The transformation also affected your physical body.]
[You felt your muscles surge with newfound strength, a result of integrating the power of your tentacles into your very being.]
[You could now merge with the tentacles, enhancing your physical power to unimaginable levels.]
[The more tentacles you integrated, the stronger and more durable your body became, making you a force to be reckoned with in close combat.]
[And perhaps most significantly, the range of your tentacles had expanded. No longer were you limited by the reach of your vision.]
[Now, your tentacles could stretch as far as your energy allowed, covering vast areas or targeting enemies from incredible distances.]
[The battlefield itself had become your domain, and there was no place for your enemies to hide.]
[As the light of the transformation faded, you opened your eyes and marveled at the power that now flowed through you.]
[The surrounding atmosphere returned to its normal state as you retracted your tentacles, the immense force now under your complete control.]
[As the power of your Zenith Avatar settled within you, a wave of exhilaration washed over you. "Finally! Invisible Providence has evolved into a Zenith Avatar! Now, I can deal with most threats head-on, and even if I can't defeat them directly, I can easily eliminate them through assassination."]
[Evangeline, who had been by your side throughout the entire ordeal, let out a relieved sigh. "I'm glad it went well and that you survived the process."]
[You noticed that Evangeline was breathing heavily, her energy clearly drained. She had pushed herself to the limit to help you through your evolution, ensuring that your life wasn't at unnecessary risk.]
[Despite the abruptness of your meeting and the sudden talk of marriage, there was no denying that Evangeline had genuinely assisted you with everything she had, simply to ensure your safety during the dangerous process of evolving your avatar to its Zenith form.]
[No matter what, Evangeline had already proven herself worthy to be your wife.]
[With a soft smile, you reached out and pulled Evangeline into an intimate embrace. Her body, warm and slightly trembling from exhaustion, pressed against yours.]
[The scent of both your mingled sweat filled the air, a subtle reminder of the intense ordeal you had just gone through together.]
[You could feel the steady rise and fall of her chest as she caught her breath, her heartbeat gradually slowing down against yours.]
[For a moment, the world outside faded away, leaving just the two of you in a quiet, shared moment of relief and connection.]
[The warmth of her body against yours was comforting, grounding you after the whirlwind of your avatar's evolution.]
[Your arms tightened around her, holding her close as if to reassure her that everything was finally okay.]
["Thank you, Evangeline," you murmured softly, your voice filled with sincerity. "If you want, I'll gladly accept you as my wife, and we can formalize our relationship with a marriage."]
