As time passed by Cyra Essence started to climb up with an alarming rate, her body had no limits so without any problems she could refine the flow of Essence, while she was cultivating she could also feel the sensation if burning, on small parts of her body, she was expecting piercing pain every 5 minutes or soo, after 3 hours inside her Essence stopped at [E: 59.17].
Is this all?
[Host has to go deeper inside to be able to experience Essence flow again]
Cyra left the corners of the lake and was moving towards the core, she stopped when the Essence started flowing inside her again, she was laying on the top of the water, she wasn't able to concrete and control the Essence flow anymore, she was constantly tormented by the pain, at felt like someone was pointing a laser at her at random locations all over her body, she soon looked like a piece of a burnt coal, after additional 9 hours her Essence risen once more from [E: 59.17] -> [E: 74.19].
She decided to take a break and left the core regions, after eating and drinking, her burnt skin gradually shattered and fallen down, than dissolved inside the lake, her skin became much more beautiful and cleaner, but yet again her armor was destroyed, she decided to don't care anymore and simply took out a cloak to hide her body and decided to swim inside the core once more.
There was no longer anything like point of pain, her whole body was gradually burning away like an ember, she couldn't even leave anymore, first her skin became red than once again turned black, than her flesh started burning, the whole lake was filled with the smell of burning flesh, but because the lake was surrounded by the formation nobody could smell anything different in the air, Cyra internal organs were safe thanks to her increasing Essence but she was truly feeling hell at this moment, as her nerves burnt away the feeling of pain disappeared and her body shrunk towards the bottom of the pool, there was a sucking sensation that sucked her body towards the core, inside the core she was overflowing with Essence without her doing anything, as her Essence risen from [E: 74.19] -> [E: 80.19] she could feel again her Essence started sheltering her body and the pain that she felt before gradually lessened with a great degree, than her Essence stopped at [E: 97.41], she took out some food and started munching on basically anything that came to her hand without stopping, after spending an hour with eating her body has been restored to it's s peak condition with her strength also rising by a great degree from [Str: 544.16] to [Str: 614.28].

[The Last Stand: The moment Host activates this Halo, the dark pillar of corruptors appears and turns every nearby animals into demonic beasts, that can fight for Host as long as the pillar is still standing]
[Warning: the pillar is limited to 30 minutes outside the Holy land, anything beyond that and Host will lose the ability to summon this pillar]
After around 2 days, she was ready to leave as she walked out of the lake, it's color gradually dimmed and the formation has shattered as the #### ###### flew out, without the large amount of liquid Essence the formation alone wasn't able to keep the #### ###### trapped inside, so the so called Holy lake lost it's worth.
Cyra next stop was at Elizabeth place, there were 9 identical light palaces next to each other, Elizabeth was living in the biggest one while her other brothers and sisters in the smaller ones, as Cyra appeared inside the palace she appeared right before Elizabeth who was rather surprised by her goddess sudden appearance, but few seconds later no emotions could be see on her face.
"Goddess, Welcome to my home." Said Elizabeth as she performed a slightly bow.
"How is the gathering of the items I asked for?"
"We managed to gather 1% of the list so far, but we are having difficulties storing them without a storage ring, today I was planning to get one during the Emperor banquet!" Explained Elizabeth with a great amount of happiness.
"I will go with you, this is simply to slow, if I turn the country leadership this problem should be solved.." Said Cyra as she was lost in her thoughts..
She was indeed happy, originally she was going to trade her title of the crown princess for a storage ring, but now that her master was here it seemed to be not necessary and she said, - "Master there will be a fight during the banquet where each and everyone of us has to invite a master, if master interested in treasures it seems to be a good opportunity to get some"
"That's nice and all but what I'm interested in is do you know of any other treasures like that lake inside the outer sanctum?" Asked Cyra while also took out robe once more to shelter her naked body, she was seriously in need of armor that could last longer than a few days of time.
Soon the evening came and the various masters has also arrived with the representative princes and princesses, Elizabeth and Cyra were the last ones to arrive, for a 2 million years old beast walking in high heels again was a living hell, Elizabeth has spent a great deal of trouble getting Cyra to attend the event in the clothes that she personally prepared for her master.
On the other hand Cyra couldn't understand why was this so important if she was eventually gonna kill everyone, why would it matter how she looked, she was truly at loss how to respond to the turn of events and decided to just go with the flow.
Everyone else on the other hand believed that Elizabeth failed to recruit a master, and to hide her embarrassment she invited one of her friends, everyone of them could agree that Cyra was truly one in a million beauty with unparalleled grace and elegance, she immediately captured the hearts of many.
The evening went without any mayor events first the Emperor and Empress has welcomed the guests than each and everyone one of the masters has been introduced, there were 2 arc demons, 3 high demons from the demon court and 3 human experts, since Elizabeth failed to invite one they proceeded to have competition that has ended with a tie between the arc demons.
The moment it ended princess Elena and prince David came forward to congratulate to each other and chat, it was than that Cyra spoke up, - "Can I also fight?" She said that with a rather indifferent expression.. she was clearly bored, but that again why wouldn't she be bored the only reason she haven't made a move yet because the system was analyzing the arc demon strains, but at this moment it had a strange request.
[I Suggest Host to eat the Female Arc Demon dex, it should contain beneficial materials for Host Future Evolutions]
Cyra was crying because that demon was clearly a succubus, that so called Dex was an internal organ that replaced her stomach to be able to eat up more man and creat more energy from it, Cyra simply couldn't get it why would that be beneficial to her, but still did what the system told her.
Cyra directly attacked the demon with Essence needless, she dodged the first wave but the second caught her off guard, as the needles hit her nerves she was immediately Immobilized and frozen on the spot, no matter how hard she tried to struggle her body wouldn't move no matter what.
Step by Stap Cyra got closer, she held the demon arm and forcefully turned her around, than an Essence spike formed in her hand, she than dragged the Essence Spike down by her spine easily opening up her back, than grabbed the organ that the system described as Dex and directly swallowed it.
As she was digesting the Dex, she threw out Elizabeth together with her servants from the palace, than used Essence Pulse and killed everyone present, all of these events didn't take longer than a minute to execute, there was simply way to big of a power difference between the parties.
About 5 minutes after she ate the Dex, she gained genetic information regarding human and demon strains, It might not be useful at present but it could help the system understand what made each strain special and with that it can creat a clear evolution path for Cyra, because she still needed to find an evolution path for stage 2, because the one that she gained recently would be only available from stage 3 and onwards, thinking to this point a smile appeared on her face than picked up a glass of wine and drank it, after finishing the whole glass she was satisfied and started cultivating on the floor.
10 minutes later the killed humans turned into demons and started an orgy to celebrate their new ruler, the corruptor goddes. Cyra didn't wanted to do anything with that and decided to leave, but as she was about to stand up it felt like she had no control over her body, she even had hard time to breathing.
System what's going?
[Host is idiot]
Why?
[Host Tell me what's the difference between your main body and the avatar?]
Age.
[Yes age, while Cyrus achieved his strength due to constant hunting and tempering under millions of years, but on the other hand Cyra is practicing rapid evolution, while Cyrus could be a jack of all trades, that can't be said about Cyra, I have no objections about rapid evolving a body but Host has to be clear about what that means, Host Cyra currently evolving towards a goal, this goal is to be strong at all cost, at rapid evolution we make trades way more that what would it worth for Cyrus]
Okay what does that means for me?
[Cyra immune system basically as fragile as a new born baby, these problems never actually came to view because Host is constantly destroying and repairing the body by consuming food, and this process has been repeated countless times already, but if nothing were to happen to host body for half a year symptoms could become visible]
What's the problem with alcohol?
[Host Body has no ways to break down the toxic components found in the wine, based on what the wine effects are Host would die from a flue within 3 days or less]
Is there anything else I should know?
[Host has metal allergies, flower and also cat allergies oh and also avoid nuts so Host won't be chocked to death]
Okay how do I get up?
[Use fly and land on the table with left over alcohol and candles, it should be able to burn out the alcohol from host body...]
Cyra did just that, as she was burning to death the room became death quite, they weren't sure how to respond to the burning of their goddess, after Cyra regeneration kicked in she was able to move once more, without a word she left the hall and directly broke inside the treasury.
