Chapter 1599 A Special Ring
-----
"I like it papa, thank you." Kate adorably said, wearing the cute silver-colored ring on one of her cute little fingers, it shone with a bright blue pearl above it. The ring had a simple design, but it was overflowing with a new power Kate couldn't naturally possess. "I'm glad you like it. This ring will help you equip Soul Gear!" I smiled.
"Really?" She gasped.
"Indeed, but you'll first need your Soul Ether Stat to get to A+ Rank." I showed Kate her own Status. "Can you see this? I recently unlocked this new Stat, and naturally everyone that consumes a lot of Divine Soul Beast meat also unlocks it. You unlocked it, and it's on B++ Rank right now."
"Oooh." She nodded obediently. "So how many Ranks do I need to rise it?"
"It would be… This one rank, then B+++, A-, A, and then A+." I said. "Six Ranks… Yeah, it's a lot. But I think we can get you there if you eat a lot of Divine Soul Beast meat and Divine Monster Souls. I've prepared you here a big jug full of like a thousand souls, eat them over time to strengthen your soul. Also, spend some Divine Energy now and learn this Skill I will inherit to you through the System."
"Okay." Kate agreed, spending a few millions divine power points and quickly learning the [Divine Soul Forging Arts (SSS)] Divine Ability, however it was at S Rank instead of SSS Rank. This was without a doubt, an amazing cheat I was able to do using the System and everyone that had a status through it.
Even if she didn't have a light dragon bloodline, that didn't matter, as long as I could give her a Divine Ability through the System, which was like giving her a Skill.
"Ooh, Divine Soul Forging Arts?" She asked curiously. "Will this help me, papa?"
"Indeed, make sure to read the description and then use the first techniques to slowly refine your soul to become strong." I said. "Soul Gear can make your soul even stronger, but it requires a soul to also be strong to begin with."
"Okay, got it." She nodded, and then she looked at me with a cute smile, flying to my side with her tiny wings and giving me a kiss on my cheek. In fact, sevral kisses. "I love you papa, thank you…"
"Aahh, haha, there's nothing to thank me, my little princess." I smiled, hugging her back and giving her a kiss on her little nose. "Your father is here to love you and give you all you need. There was no way I would leave you out of the Soul Gear craze, wouldn't I?"
"Hm! Papa's the best ever! The very best of all the world." She nodded happily. "I love papa more than anything." She hugged me again.
"Ah, you're melting my heart right now." I sighed. "Papa just didn't want to see you cry again, that's all."
"Sorry for crying… I shouldn't have acted like that, I was spoiled." She sighed.
"No, no, it's fine." I nodded. "It's alright." I caressed her little head. "As my daughter, you will be naturally spoiled! You're already a very humble girl, Kate. Don't feel guilty about having cried, children cry, it's normal to feel frustrated. I was feeling similarly to you."
"Papa…" Kate sighed, rubbing her little nose with me, and then licking my face, dragons do that. "Thank you, you're the best papa."
"And you're the best daughter, dear." I kissed her forehead. "Now, let's go eat something, alright? Feeling better now."
"Hm, I feel better now." She nodded cutely.
For any of my children I would do anything, even breaking taboos. And one of them is the ring I made for my daughter, but I don't care if Skadi gets angry at me, she can go fuck herself. I am not really happy after she rejected my daughter in such a manner, even when the dragons were humble enough to welcome Benladann and Miranda as dragons without them being born as them, yet the Titans didn't with Kate not being born an Ice Giant or Titan.
Well, anyways, after that cute family moment, we joined back with everyone else on breakfast, where I explained to them what I talked with Kate. The existence of the Ring brought a lot of shock to Benladann and Miranda, while Benladra and Drakda got happy to know their sister can also wear Soul Gear now… Well, once her Soul Ether hits A+ Rank. And yeah, Drakda didn't really understand but he was really good at going with the flow and getting happy when others did, or sad when others did. Children at his age simply copy and imitate what others do, that's how we learn to speak and show our emotions after all.
"I hope that Titaness woman doesn't get angry." Said Miranda.
"I don't really care, honestly." I shrugged. "She can't do anything to stop me either way. I will probably mass produce the ring and give it to all our allies that always fight by our side. So they can equip Soul Gear too."
"That would be amazing!" Benladann said. "To make our souls stronger could help tremendously in many battles. Especially against Demons and Chaotic Beings, both of them have deadly attacks that can easily damage souls, which they use almost every time you fight them."
"…Yeah, I am beginning to fear that one of the reasons why so many died against them back then was because the Titans didn't want to allow others to wield their power to defend against soul attacks." I sighed. "Yet they almost all went extinct anyways. What use is their legacy if nobody can use it even after they died? They might be even more conservative than dragons. I wonder what Ymir was like…"
"W-Well, let's just not think about that for now…" Benladann shrugged. "The good thing is that Kate's getting her Soul Gear too! Now, let's eat breakfast and get going, honey."
"Yeah! Don't worry about anything, sorry for exaggerating." Miranda said, nodding.
"Haha, alright." I smiled. "Let's eat and then move to the Dark Dragon Realm! Once we can gather the materials from that place, we can finally begin making Soul Gear. Not only for me, but for the whole family."
