(Wn) Chapter 205 (2/2)

Hmm… Well, a Goddess literally just went out of her way to talk to uess that prettyfrom some sort of divine retribution

「Exactly The Black Cat Tribe has committed a mortal sin, and thus, we’ve made it more difficult for them to evolve」

『So you’re here to talk about the method I used to make Fran evolve…?』

「Looks like you’ve gotten straight to the point That’s right The method you used was one we’d never accounted for It’s outside all our predictions, and honestly speaking, quite problematic」

I mean, I knee kinda cheated the systeh to merit divine intervention Wait, shi+t, does that -

「Don’t worry I won’t do anything to harinal state」

W- Well, I guess that e the bullet — not that ere actually totally scot-free just yet

「So, have you figured out why I came to see you in particular?」

『Uhhhh… Because I cheated the system?』

「Nope That isn’t the only issue I came to discuss with you」

『Huh? Really?』

「I wouldn’t have bothered descending if that was all there was to it」

Wait, what? What exactly was the issue then?

「Naturally, that isn’t to say that you cheating the systeether, as itthe very principals the world runs on」

『The world’s principals?』

「Would it be easier for you to understand me if I called the world’s principles the system on top of which it’s based? Consider, for exa within the fraram」

Oh, so there’s like a big overarching systeuess that must be where the System Announcer comes from?

「Most beastkin typically learn the Awakening skill upon reaching their level cap Using the skill allows them to awaken the power that lies within them and prompts them to evolve」

I guess that es involved in the evolution process? It looks kinda like: Hit level cap -> Unlock Awakening -> Use Awakening -> Draw out latent potential -> Evolve?

「The Black Cat Tribe has been cursed, and thus, as I’m sure you know, its members need to do more than just reach their maximum levels」

『Yeah, I’s ith Fran』

「Sheskill, and evolve It seemed that she was a rather talented individual as well, as she’d acquired the skill for herself with just a single use of it What concernsforward」

『Oh, I get it So what you’re trying to say is that anyone could evolve so long as they just equipped me』

「Yeah, and that’s exactly the problem There would be no point in the divine retribution if equipping you allowed any and all to bypass it, and that’s si I can overlook」

The Goddess stared right at me as she spoke

Wait, doesn’t that kinda ht just be neck deep in shi+t?
