With a barrier that was able to withstand even S Rank Magic Attacks (tested by ours before), we were able to fully concentrate into our primary tasks. I divided my work force into different groups. One of them began reconstructing the city even more now that all demons were unfrozen. A second party started crafting clothes and furniture. And a third party, composed of ourselves, began to prepare for our battle against the Frost Queen.
Like that, three days went by flying, and Brunhild reported no changes in anything either. There has been no attacks, or anything at all, the Frost Queen is either gathering strength back to attack once more or waiting for us to attack her first… Whatever was the case, I didn't wasted this precious time.
I spent the majority of it devising a new item, by combining the fragments of the Dimension Crystals that were helping opening up the Portals to the Dungeon of the Frost Queen, through Alchemy, and a few other materials, I created something that'll help us raid the very center of her area of operations, her own dungeon.
The Cauldron was bubbling furiously, as the materials converged together into one at long last, as I conjured the last Synthesis before completing the item's creation.
From within the cauldron, a small blue ring emerged, with a jewel on top of it of the same, dark blue color as the metal making the ring…

"Perfect! With this, we're all set." I smiled evilly. My other body ego was right at my side, reading a book had received from Yggdrasil as a sponsored gift.
At first I thought it would be useless for me to learn from it, but as I kept reading, I slowly realized I could simply adapt its magic and secrets into my own magic, indeed, it is the Yggdrasil's Magic Grimoire.
[You've completely read and assimilated the Grimoire's Information and Knowledge!]
[All of this Information and Knowledge has been concentrated into your mind, merging with your previously learned knowledge, and fusing with your tremendous magic power and elemental affinities.
[You've developed your own Yggdrasil Magic…]
"I've learned a few secrets…" I giggled, fusing with my own self, as I expanded my own hands, and black branches made out of darkness, death, and poison started growing.
Unlike the Yggdrasil Tree that embodied life itself, my tree was… well, much different to it.
I had developed a special type of magic, that used a hypothetical opposite tree, the tree of death and sins…
[You have comprehended a new type of power and magic dwelling within you.]
[The Treasures within your Soul Scape are reacting to your ever-growing power and knowledge!]
[One of the many Withering Trees of Death inside of your Soul Scape has absorbed this knowledge and power, and has undergone evolution!]
Within my own Soul Scape, the largest of the twenty-or-so Withering Trees of Death I had absorbed this knowledge and power I absorbed from the Yggdrasil Magic Grimoire, and underwent a sudden evolution.
It began growing constantly upwards, easily surpassing its fellow trees, its dry and sharp branches stretching to the dark skies above, its black and dry wood grew several textures and forms that resembled the appearances of screaming faces and furious eyes glaring everywhere.
Once it finished growing, it had already reached the height of 30 meters, it was small compared to the actual Yggdrasil Tree, but doesn't this means I am growing my own unique death tree? Heh…
[Your Soul Scape has developed a new Spirit Treasure: The [Demonic Tree of Death: Qliphoth Lesser Spirit Treasure: Rank 8)]!]
[The New Spirit Treasure expands its roots across your Soul Scape, enhancing the power and quality of all other Spirit Treasures together.]
[All Spirit Treasures have reached Rank 7 as a result.]
[The Qliphoth will continue to evolve and grow bigger as you develop.]
[You gained +40 Aether.]
[You have reached 200 Aether!]
[Your Soul Scape is undergoing a great evolution!]
T R U U U U M M M M…!
T R U U U U U M M M M M…!
Suddenly, the Soul Scape inside of my own soul began to expand, growing in size about over twice as big as it was before. Flowers of red, black, and purple color began to spread further everywhere.
At the same time, bone trees and withering death trees grew in larger quantities all across the landscape, as a sudden sea made out of bubbling miasma emerged in the middle of the arid landscape, and the Qliphoth continued growing larger and larger, covering the skies.
The Moon Gazing Giant Lily looked like it was on a match for who grows bigger, because it was trying its best to grow just as monstrously big!
