Chapter 401 The Second Metamorphosis
POV Vesuvius:
"The last batch has arrived." The kobold knelt and neatly placed a small pouch on the hot, black stone.
The dragon resting within the magma turned his head, and his eyes scanned the pouch. He looked like an island within the sprawling lake of bubbling molten stone and metal.
\'Now I can start.\'
He was no longer just some upstart dragon. He now had the entire kingdom and a large faction of players behind him.
It was no problem for him to use them to collect some lesser rarity materials to supplement his efforts.
\'It is finally time.\'
For one last time, he opened his status.

\'I have grown so much.\' He felt it was only yesterday since his stats were in the range of dozens.
Ding!
//
7000 of MAG stat was transferred to VIT
//
He immediately felt the surge of energy. All the power circulated through his veins like electricity through high-voltage power lines. The magma flowing within the paths in his armor, and the crystal all over his body brightened up.
Even the magmatic ocean reacted to him, bubbling even more with its color turning blue across his entire divine kingdom.
Ding!
//
You spent 285 stat points on MAG
The spent amount was doubled due to the presence of DIV stat
//
\'I have still over 70 ability points. Should I spend it now to gain higher stats and so even more points, or should I keep it to evolve a potential new ability? Yes, I will keep I don\'t have enough to bring any of my scaling abilities to evolve. I will rather spend it on something like time magic that would be hard to level up.\'
The dragon closed his eyes, his mind activating his metamorphosis. Almost instantly, the darkness shrouded everything.

Vesuvius felt like choking as he saw the numbers roll before his eyes. It was such an insane number he felt like he was dreaming, \'If I posted this on the forum no one would believe me. This is simply unprecedented.\'
The next moment as if someone opened the curtain, the blackness slowly retracted, revealing a model of him rotating within the dark void.
\'System, activate the pro mode.\'
Ding!
//
The professional mode was activated, turning off limitations.
//
His shock didn\'t stop as more, and more items popped out, all of them rotating around the model of the dragon. His eyes didn\'t stop at the miniaturized bodies of the winter dragon and the metal colossus looking like children\'s toys.
Instead, they stopped, filled with surprise at two small balls. One played with golden light and colors of the rainbow. The second one looked as if it contained a starry night sky.
\'So you also count as materials?\' It was as if reality taunted him and provoked him to take the space affinity and revolt against the world.
The radiance of all the angelic materials lit up the entire void, the cut wings, the shattered holy halos, the feathers, and even the bottled blood, all shining in pure white light.
Vesuvius calmed down and coldly stared at all the options before him.
\'I should start with this.\' His eyes fell upon the highlighted cursed heart pulsing as if crying for his attention.
Ding!
//
You have fulfilled the legacy of the Winter Dragon
Do you wish to sacrifice at least 5 000 META points to remove the curse and awaken the power hidden within it? <Yes/No>
//
\'Wouldn\'t that mean that I will lose my curse affinity or at least it would weaken? Also, five thousand is a lot of points, and that is just the initial investment. \' Right before him was his first big dilemma.
On the one hand, he wanted to keep his curse power. However, something deep within him told him he should go for it.
\'I would bet that all my ice and winter-based powers will skyrocket.\'
