After Gaia spoke to me about the many plans and information she knew about, she ended telling me about her plan on dealing with the giant tentacle, which was to not fight it at all but close the rift!
"But wouldn't that slice the tentacle?" I asked.
"Yeah!"
"…"
"…"
"Don't you realize the entity's power? I bet if we let the tentacle here, it might still retain some intelligence or life or something, if it goes in a rampage, it might destroy the world, wouldn't it?" I asked.
"Eh?! You're right… That's certainly a possibility I… didn't thought about, haha…" sighed Gaia.
"Wait, are you laughing?! This is a serious issue, planet's core!" I sighed.
"Yeah, yeah, I know! Don't get angry. I know what to do… You'll deal with it with the powers you'll have at that point, and… the planet guardian's superb skills that let you weaken your foes and enhance your power! You used it to defeat the Celestial King at the end, right? So it works!" said Gaia.
"I don't like that reckless side of you…" I said.
"Listen Guardian, sometimes, you have to take risks!" said Gaia.
"…I know, high risk high reward sort of deal? Now that I think about it… I wonder what items that giant tentacle could drop. Maybe something quite valuable, seeing how it is a living limb from a monster so strong…"
"Right? You have to think about that, and you'll feel all motivated!" laughed Gaia.
"I guess…"
At the end, I decided to check out my Tasks. After having killed so many monsters in the last battles, I think I completed them all, I also completed the daily quests and got a few orbs through the over a week worth of days I spent outside, which meant I got around 9 Orbs from it.
[MAIN TASKS]
[Defeat Monsters and Level Up, Defeat 1600 Foes: [Random Item Box] x8, 20000 Gold, 20000 Hero Feathers, 10 Orbs] COMPLETE!
[Defeat Monsters and Level Up, Defeat 3200 Foes: [Random Item Box] x16, 40000 Gold, 40000 Hero Feathers, 20 Orbs] COMPLETE!
[Conquer an Otherworldly Dungeon: [Dungeon Master Crate] x1, 30000 Gold, 10000 Hero Feathers, 10 Orbs] COMPLETE!
And boom! I got a bunch of resources. And… Oh yeah, I conquered a Dungeon naturally. You see, the dungeons that emerge inside of my Inner World are automatically conquered, so this quest was completed automatically too.
Tasks don't give EXP though, only items and resources so- Oh, I got these items I haven't opened… the Reward Boxes and stuff.I have already absorbed all the Gold Coins and other resources dropped by the mobs in the great war, and most of the drops were not as useful for me. Although I will work with Anna and fuse them over so I can use this fused equipment to enhance my main equipment.
This also includes using the Celestials bones, and also their own divine weapons and armor they used, which were of pretty high quality, if we use them as materials to enhance my equipment, it will enhance my equipment quality to higher realms… I hope.
Oh, and there's also absorbing the Soul Spheres and the Ability Spheres, so before opening the item boxes, I will absorb this pile of Soul Spheres, all mine!
There were hundreds of them glistening before me, Kireina and the rest of my summons brought them to me as the pile looked wondrous and shiny…
"Enjoy your meal, master!" said Kireina with a cute smile, as Katrina looked at me with her dead-serious stare at her side.
"Enjoy them," she said.
Haha… they're so different…
Anyways, I absorbed the Soul Spheres, as I saw my stats raising slowly!
FLAASH!
An aura of power surged from my entire body, the power that these spheres gave was amazing, even more those dropped by the Celestials, it was as if they had been made out of their divine essence… I think that my stats increased way more than I would have ever expected!
Ding!
[You've gained +210.000 Vitality, +250.000 Mana, +170.000 Strength, +140.000 Magic, and +120.000 Dexterity!]
Wow! That's really a lot of stats, are you sure this is legal, system?!

…
By taking a look at my stats, I can already tell this increase in stats were amazing! I feel revitalized, even… However, it wasn't enough to raise cultivation… Why is it?! Well, whatever.
I took the various Ability Spheres this time. There was a varied assortment of them this time around! The Abilities of the Celestials became Ability Spheres randomly, although they were extremely rare, we still secured a good dozen of them, the Celestial King actually dropped three, so I hastily absorbed them all to gain new Abilities.
Ding!
