Creator God Tima's Overlord Journey Chapter 35

"But if that's the case, then at the very least, let me be Mother's guard!" Camellia said.

"Huh? Why can't I be the guard?"

"Isn't it obvious whether a mage or a warrior is better suited to be a guard? My foolish flat-chested little sister."

"You..."

"Ah, I'd considered that too." Aya cut into the sisters' bickering.

"If one person is in charge of guarding me, the other can look after the house and handle matters in the village. But I'd also like a professional agent responsible for gathering intelligence from other places."

As she spoke, Aya tilted her head and said, "Besides that, I want to test this item's effects as well—whether it can provide enough life force for me to activate [Sea of Life] without needing a man."

A ring appeared on Aya's pale, slender finger—a ring engraved with three shooting stars, a powerful item that could cast the super-tier spell [Wish Upon a Star] three times for free.

Preya and Camellia swallowed in unison, a bad feeling rising within them.

"So, do you want Mommy to make you a little sister?" Aya revealed a maternal smile fitting for her status.

Wish Upon a Star

"A little sister...?" A faintly lonely expression flashed across Camellia and Preya's faces, but they quickly returned to normal.

If they had more little sisters, their share of time by Mother's side would decrease. Such a lonely thought had indeed surfaced in their hearts.

But if it was Mother's wish, they had no reason not to support it. Moreover, as Mother had said, this truly was the best solution to their current shortage of manpower.

They adjusted their mindsets and accepted both the arrival of a new little sister and the possibility that there would be even more sisters in the future.

Even if they gained more rivals, it wasn't as though there were no ways to improve their standing in Mother's heart. Thinking of it that way made it easier to accept.

After taking a breath, they shifted their gazes to the ring in Aya's hand.

"This ring is a rare item, the Shooting Star Ring, which can cast the super-tier spell [Wish Upon a Star] three times without consuming experience points," Aya explained further after noticing her daughters' gazes.

Of course, Aya did not actually know just how rare this ring was. Although she had also learned the super-tier spell [Wish Upon a Star], she had already quit the game and been sleeping in a cryogenic pod by the time the Shooting Star Ring was released.

Thus, this ring had actually been obtained by a hired power-leveler using her account. She had three more Shooting Star Rings stored in her inventory, all of which remained unused.

If Aya knew that this was a gacha item Momonga had obtained only after gambling away even his year-end bonus, she would probably have had a better grasp of its value.

However, Aya did have a corresponding understanding of the super-tier spell [Wish Upon a Star] contained within it. The more experience points it consumed, the more random wish options it generated.

In other words, spending fifty percent of one's experience would produce five options, while spending one hundred percent would produce ten.

There seemed to be an enormous number of possible wishes. According to a rough estimate from strategy sites, there were likely more than two hundred, and the odds of different wishes appearing varied greatly.

In other words, it was a terrifying spell that could cause vast amounts of experience points to go to waste. It was a toy for the lucky and a nightmare for the unlucky.

The super-tier spell [Wish Upon a Star] cast through the ring seemed more likely to produce high-quality results. It also always generated the maximum ten options and required no casting time, making it an absurdly powerful pay-to-win item that Aya had fallen in love with at first sight while inspecting her equipment.

Using such an item to activate the special skill [Sea of Life] carried an element of gambling. Naturally, Aya found it a pity, but there was no helping it.
