    Veronica and Ervas traveled across the Outer Universe, as they finally saw from the horizon arge sr system, with a beautiful red star and severals orbiting around it.


    The they saw there was the they had once terraformed, they never thought that this would be their new home from now on after absorbing all of the worlds of Kritias, but it was finally time to get here.


    It has been a couple of months since they went away from this ce, but now, they were finally returning. The split souls were now with Aurora, as they nced at the while slowly approaching.


    The three of them were of course floating in the middle of Outer Space, but they had no problem with that, the Vacuum of Space was of no threat for beings as strong as them. And through thesest months, Aurora had grown back to her original power a little bit more, and now was around the pinnacle of Great Goddess.


    She needed more EXP to level up and reach the next Realm, but that was going to take a while, no monsters nor divine beasts at this point would give enough EXP, so she would have to grind EXP for dozens of years to actually reach Supreme Goddess-Realm at this point.


    Unless there would be greater opportunities emerging asunder as they explored the vastness of the Outer Cosmos, although the group nned to go back to the world of Kosmos, which had many Dungeons and monsters to beat up, they could get some EXP from it, if anything.


    "Woah this became so green out of the sudden!" said Veronica.


    "Indeed, I do remember it being quite arid and desertic. The sun of this sr system is also showering it with nice amounts of sunlight every day… days in this world are around 26 hours, not so far apart from Earth, so the differences are not many." Said Ervas.


    "I wonder how much it has changed… At that time I had fallen unconscious, but you said it was all desertic before and you introduced some animals and monsters, right?" asked Aurora.


    "Kind of, we introduced a few small animals, and mostly a lot of nts. There were monsters perhaps, but we tried to not flood it with dangerous creatures, there were no dungeons either, so it should be a natural ce." Said Veronica.


    "It looks green from here, so this means that the nts had been prospering quite well, I wonder how long the time difference between this area of the Universe is and where we were… perhaps a lot of time happened." Said Ervas.


    "Well, let''s get to it." said Veronica.


    FLASH!


    The three figures flew towards the, getting closer and closer to its surface, like three shining stars…


    The inhabitants of this looked at the scene in awe, three falling stars of purple, green, and ck colors fell from the skies, I was as if it were a descending of the gods themselves.


    The split souls and Aurora quickly reached the surface of a wild area,nding over thergest continent they found, which had the shape of Australia a little bit.


    When theynded there, the fresh air, the breeze, and the sunlight all hit the spot, making them all feel good to be here. They looked around themselves looking for what else there was for them to do, finding out that there was a massive tree in front of them, surrounding by an near-endless sea of trees, a beautiful forest.


    "A giant… tree?!"


    The first thing they saw, which was in the middle of the entire continent they hadnded into, was a tree of massive proportions. It was so big that it went over the mountains themselves. This gigantic tree shone brightly, releasing a bright aura of mana.


    It was beautiful and mesmerizing, although not as massive as the one inside their divine realms, it was still a tree you could call an Yggdrasil Tree, a World''s Tree!


    "Wow, what''s this? Did we ever nt such a big tree before?" asked Veronica.


    "Not that I remember…" said Ervas.


    "I see a lot of… buildings there!" said Aurora, pointing at several kilometers away, there was some sort of civilization living in this world!


    Despite them never having made any human or other demi-human live here, there was a civilization! How odd… who could they be?


    "CRAA! CRAA! CRAA!"


    Suddenly, the group finally saw something that wasn''t nt life, as arge flock of birds flew across the skies. These birds were strange, looking more like three-legged bats with sharp keratin beaks of several colors.


    They resembled, oddly enough, dolphins, or well, their heads did. At closer inspection, they saw that these creatures had a vestigial hole above their heads.


    "Could these "birds" be highly derived descendants of dolphins?" wondered Aurora.


    "S-So there was a lot of years that went through then… for evolution to happen to such a degree that dolphins went back tond, acquired the ability to walk in three feet, and then began to fly and even developed beaks… indeed, a long time has passed." Said Ervas.


    "Probably… millions of years." Said Veronica.


    "CRYA!"


    One of the dolphin-bats flew towards Ervas, as if feeling attracted by the aura of life he emanated naturally from his body. It sat down over his arm, as it looked at him with its sharp emerald eyes. This bat-like creature had no feathers but brown and mildly dark green fur around its body, its wings had two sharp hooks of ck color, like nails, and theycked snouts as they breathed in the holes over their heads.


    Its third limb was a long and prehensible tail-like leg with several ws on it, when it sat down over Ervas arm, it wrapped this tail around him to have a better grip on him.


    The creature looked at him and then its long tongue began to lick his face.


    "Hey, he likes you!"ughed Veronica.


    "I-I can tell…" said Ervas.


    "Let''s get going, I wonder what other bizarre creatures we might find…" said Aurora.
