Chapter 786 Overpowered?
-----
After that long conversation with Benladann where I explained her everything, I decided to show her my… new daughter. The little girl resembled a beautiful pearl in the size of an apple. I wish she had a more humanoid shape, but that was her for now.
"S-She"s cute…" Said Benladann, blushing a bit as she petted my daughter, caressing her smooth surface.
"Waaahh!" The little orb let out a cute baby-like sound, beginning to float around. She suddenly reached Benladann and went through her chest, behind her and then above her.
"E-Eeeh? She can bypa.s.s physical things?" Asked Benladann.
"Y-Yeah, I think it"s because she"s purely ethereal, she doesn"t have a physical body…" I said.
"O-Oh… I see…" Said Benladann. "So she"s really like a spirit… Dear, do you want a name?" Benladann asked the little girl, who was floating around aimlessly.
"Wawaaahh…" The little orb flew to my hands, resting there. She seemed to not mind a new name, but I don"t know if she"ll know it will be hers. Well, like any baby, she"ll learn its her name if we refer to her by that name eventually.
"A name… Well, what name could we give to her? Maybe we could keep your tradition? Half the name of the System and mine…" I said. "But wait, what"s the System"s name?"
"She didn"t had a name?" Asked Benladann.
"…No, she always referred herself as the System…" I sighed.
"Hmmm…" Benladann began to rub her chin a bit and then she nodded.
"Then we just use "System" as a name… Alright! Hm… Sys… Syske?" Wondered Benladann.
"Syske sounds kind of weird though… Dratem? No…" I sighed.
"Ketem?" Wondered Benladann. "Oh, how about Kate? Sounds similar."
"Kate…" I said, thinking about it. I looked at the little orb, I guess it should suffice, and it sounded more like a conventional name as well. "Sure… I wish I could ask her for this but let"s go with Kate."
"Alright!"
FLASH!
Suddenly, when I decided the name, a small bit of my Divine Power was infused into Kate, and her name was somehow officially made? What? What is this? Since when did I had naming powers like this though?! …Wait, I always did. When I named Yuki or Frost, or Huginn and Muninn, they always evolved and became stronger. I had a Naming Skill after all. Wait, did this Skill also became just an innate power of mine now?
Ding!
[The target has approved the name and has been named [Kate]
[Kate] has been strengthened]
[Kate] has acquired the [Divine Dragon Mark: System]
[Kate] has been bestowed a Divine Protection from you]
[Kate] acquired the [Primordial] Job]
[Kate] learned the [Matter Manipulation: Lv1] Skill]
HUH?!
Did she just gained a Job? And a Skill that sounded incredibly broken! And her Job is… Primordial? What does that even means? Is she more than a Spirit? I think… my daughter might be rather special.
"Wawahhh!" Kate seemed happy as she began to glow brightly, her entire body then expanded a lot, growing as big as a three to four months old ice giant baby body. She even materialized and gained weight, and she looked… utterly adorable.
She had pale white skin, long silky white hair, different from Benladra who had silver hair. Her eyes were bright blue, and she seemed to be so beautiful that she looked like a figure made of porcelain… She even had a small blue crystal horn growing out of the middle of her forehead and white scales around her feet and hands, alongside a very tiny white dragon tail.
"S-She"s so cuteeee!" Benladann cried, hugging Kate.
"Waaah!" Kate said, as she found herself in a materialized body. Did she used Matter Manipulation to materialize her own body from ethereal to physical?
"I-Indeed… Well done, Kate, you took a form now!" I said happily. "My girl… you"re so cute!"
"Waahh…" Kate was hugged by the two of us, as she felt a bit suffocated and then turned ethereal, pa.s.sing through my body, and floating behind me stark naked.
"K-Kate? You can"t go around stark naked!" I said, grabbing her with my soul, which she couldn"t escape even through her matter trespa.s.sing ability, and then Benladann nodded, bringing one of Benladra dresses she has been using in her early days. Benladra had been growing bigger each day, so almost every two weeks we need to make new clothes because the old ones don"t fit her, so there"s a lot of spare baby clothes.
"Much better and cuter!" Said Benladann, putting an adorable white ribbon over Kate.
"Wawahh…" Kate said while tilting her head, she didn"t found the point of clothes, but she seemed happy she was being praised for being cute.
"Indeed… She"s really cute." I said. "I am sure Benladra will like her new little sister… Where is she by the way?" I wondered, Benladra wasn"t in her cradle.
"She… she went off by herself…" Sighed Benladann.
"Eh?!"
"When you were sleeping these last five days, she had begun to fly off the cradle and then walk around the interior of the castle… Well, Fuyu keeps an eye on her so she doesn"t run outside, but still, she has been doing this a lot lately. She"s growing fast for an ice giant baby. I think its because she"s half dragon…" Sighed Benladann.
"Well, let"s go look for her with Kate then." I said, holding Kate in my arms, permeating my hands with my soul so she wouldn"t be able to run away by trespa.s.sing my body like a ghost.
"Alright…" Benladann quickly took her slippers and we walked through the castle. Some of the people in the lower floors saw us with a new baby in my arms, acting quite surprised.
"Fuyu, where is Benladra right now?" I asked Fuyu, as she suddenly showed me a magic projection. Benladra was inside a large room where many tamed beasts were and was playing around with them.
"She has been playing with Frost and the rest for twenty minutes now…" Sighed Fuyu. "I guess she just wanted to have some time with the pets."
"Hahaha… Alright, thanks."
We quickly ran into the room and found the little half-dragon walking in four feet chasing around an Ice Wolf pup.
"Wan wan!" She said, imitating the bark of the ice wolves as they played around with her.
"Benladra, what did I told you about walking out of the room?" Sighed Benladann.
"Babah!" Said Benladra, crawling her way to Benladann and then flapping her tiny wings to reach her arms. In that moment, her eyes met with Kate, and she stared at her for a little while in complete silence…
