Ding!

[Because you have absorbed a large quantity of many compatible elemental energies with your Spirit Hearts, all of your Spirit Hearts Tiers have increased from Tier 5 to Tier 6!]

[You gained +250.000 Essence.]

[You gained +150.000 Cosmic Power.]

[You have learned the [Divine Spiritual Arts: Lv1] Magic Skill!]

[You can use the full power of your Divine Spirit Hearts through this Special Skill and unleash their combined power against your foes.]

[The [Divine Spiritual Arts: Lv1] has gained 3 Bonus Levels due to the enormous surplus of Spiritual Energy.]

My Essence was erupting from my body, overflowing and combining with my Cosmic Power, resembling an endless sea of stars and colors. All of the energies I've absorbed have full and completely combined together, total harmony at its finest. And the Essence Stat was tremendously broken as well, due to its amazing effects.

My current Essence was already at 16.160.000, which means…

-----

[Stat: Essence]

A Unique Stat created when several other Energy-based Stats converge together into a single "Essence", it is a nameless power with a simple name, but it carries tremendous strength and is the foundation for most Energies that course across the cosmos, even Cosmic Energy.

The more Energies or other similar Stats you acquire, the higher this Stat will increase as it will absorb them one after another.

1 Essence Stat = 10 of every other Energy-based Stat.

For every 100.000 Essence, all Energies Recovery Speed increases by +100% (+16.100%), and any Skill, Technique, Ability, or Spell that uses Essence receives a +25% (+4.025%) boost to their power.

For every 500.000 Essence, you gain +10% (+320%) more Cosmic Energy and Cosmic Power.

For every 1.000.000 Essence, you take -10% (-160%) Less Damage from all Other Energies and can restore 10% (160%) of the Damage you take from other Energies as Essence, as long as such Energies have been already merged into Essence.

-----

As the Stat description specifies, I gain all those bonuses each time a certain amount of Essence is acquired. The bonuses are already insane. I don't think anybody else has refined Essence like I have. I was able to easily do this because I can combine and edit my System. Most other beings in the Universe and beyond don't even have a System to begin with.

This also means I take no damage from any foe without enough bonuses to their attack power that surpasses 160%, which must be fueled with cosmic energy, which is a tough thing to ask for most entities out there, unless I'm talking about Shub-Niggurath-level threats or beyond.

Nonetheless, I didn't gain just Essence, I also got a lot of Cosmic Power. With this Cosmic Power reserves, pretty much anything is possible in terms of creation, transformation, and growing stronger. My only bottleneck is the lack of a star to devour and advance my cultivation realm, but that might soon change.

For now, I still have some items I want to open. There is a lot of treasure chests unopened, and that has always enticed me to open them and see what's inside.

"Time for the treasure chests now~" I smiled. "Please give me a kiss for good luck~"

"Mooch!" Both Andromeda and Astraea happily kissed my cheeks at the same time.

With that, the treasure chests opened one after another by just a thought of my mind.

Ding!

"S-So many amazing items…" I muttered in disbelief, seeing the piles after piles of even more items. "I had no idea the treasure chests gave multiple items at once!"

"M-Me neither!" Andromeda muttered. "T-This is really quite overwhelming, isn't it?"

"There's a few ones that you should consume right away, Kireina-sama." Astraea pointed at all the Elixirs and such. "So you can get the Stat and Skill Points, both very useful for you to become stronger."

"Yeah, you're right." I nodded, quickly consuming them all without hesitation. "Ah, phew…"

[You have consumed [Divine Skill Points Elixir (SS Grade)] x5 and [Cosmic Skill Points Elixir (SSS Grade)] x4!]

[You gained +13.000 Skill Points.]

[You have consumed [Divine Stat Points Elixir (SS Grade)] x4 and [Cosmic Stat Points Elixir (SSS Grade)] x2!]

[You gained +8.000 Stat Points.]

"So many Points… I guess I'll be using them really soon to fuse more Skills or Level them up, so its nice." I smiled rather confidently.

I organized the rest of the items I got.

[Random Otherworldly Dungeon Key (SS Grade)] x1 [Cosmic Otherworldly Dungeon Key (SSS Grade)] x2 [Ancient Vampire Dungeon Key (SS+ Grade)] x2

I had several Dungeon Keys, which apparently generate a Dungeon Gate that leads me to a "Lost World Fragment" that turns into a Dungeon where I can earn EXP, get monster corpses, materials, and treasures.

[Cosmic Skill Fusion Ticket (SSS Grade)] x2 [Demonic Skill Fusion Ticket (SS+ Grade)] x1 [Primordial Seas Skill Fusion Ticket (SS+ Grade)] x1 [Cosmic Holy Nirvana Skill Fusion Ticket (SSS Grade)] x1 [Vampiric Skill Fusion Ticket (SS+ Grade)] x2

Then there were the Skill Fusion Tickets, some were themed, imbuing the fused Skill with special effects that would change them. These are different from normal Skill Fusion because they cost no Skill Points, and I can combine up to four Skills together instead of three!

[Cosmic Enhancement Runic Crystal (SSS Grade)] x1

Then there's this special item, it seems to be an enhancement relic you place into equipment to grant them a special "Cosmic Trait" that will further enchant their basic abilities and give a lot of bonus stats, pretty handy as well.

[Archdemon of Wrath's Furious Ring of Vengeance (SS+ Grade)] x1

[Divine Azure Dress of the Primordial Titan Of The Seas (SS+ Grade)] x1

[Nirvana Deus Mandala Circle Of Harmony (SSS Grade)] x1

[Abyssal Vampire Sword Of Soul Eating (SS+ Grade)] x1

[Vampire Count's Ring Of Vampiric Paths (SS+ Grade)] x1

And then, lastly, all the equipment, I might gift most of these to my wives or children. Though I'm keeping that Mandala Circle, I might make that into an Ego, even.
