After having consumed all the good stuff, I moved to opening all these damn treasure chests, they were so many that I was getting a bit insane with them. I'll even open the older ones I had ignored so far; everything is being opened today, ladies and gentlemen! Whatever I get, I'll either eat it or gift it to my family members.

Anyways, it's a lot of stuff, so let's go slowly one by one…

First, I'll be opening this one treasure chest whose Grade of quality is completely different than everything else, this is a treasure chest I didn't obtain through the System or my World Core Powers, but through the Cosmic Dungeon I entered and only completed the first floor of.

Yes, these Cosmic Dungeons that can only be accessed through special keys, that very dungeon and no other. Unlike the usual Grades of F Grade to SSS+++ Grade, I obtained a "Silver Rank" Treasure chest, for some weird reason.

So let's move on and open that thing.

"There you are…"

I took it out of my inventory and happily opened the silver treasure chest, contents emerged from within.

Ding!

[You have opened the [Abandoned World Fragment Dungeon Treasure Chest (Silver Rank)] x1!]

[You received the following Items: [Divine Gold Coins] x10.000 [Cosmic Elixir of Strength (Silver Rank)] x10 [Cosmic Elixir of Vitality (Silver Rank)] x10 [Cosmic Elixir of Health (Silver Rank)] x10 [Cosmic Power Restoration Elixir (Silver Rank)] x5]

Oh, the items I got were quite… Well, simple? But at the same time, those are stat boosting elixirs! Aside from the restoration Elixir, I should probably just drink all of these, right?

Yep, gulp, gulp~

"Phew!"

Ding!

[You have drunk the [Cosmic Elixir of Strength (Silver Rank)] x10 [Cosmic Elixir of Vitality (Silver Rank)] x10 [Cosmic Elixir of Health (Silver Rank)] x10!]

[You gained +1.000.000 Strength.]

[You gained +1.000.000 Vitality.]

[You gained +1.000.000 Health.]

Wait, one million?!

That means that I get 100k per Elixir!

I felt slightly stronger and with much more health and vitality, stats that are quite low compared to the rest, I really need to increase those more.

"Still, this is insane, way too generous…"

Once done with that, I moved to the following Treasure Chests, I decided to go for the lowest quality to the highest quality ones. This time it was ten little treasure chests of black and dark blue color with skulls on top of them.

Ding!

[You have opened the [Lesser Cosmic Undead Treasure Chest (S+++ Grade)] x10!]

[You received the following Items: [Divine Gold Coins] x20.000 [Divine Skill Proficiency Elixir (S Grade)] x20 [Divine Skill Points Phial (S Grade)] x20 [Divine Stat Points Phial (S Grade)] x20 [Cosmic Nether Crystalized Skull Phylactery (S Grade)] x1 [Cosmic Undead Soul Summoning Ring (S Grade)] x1 [Cosmic Undead Skill Fusion Ticket (S Grade)] x2]

Oh, not bad, these can be useful.

And what with the phylactery and that ring? Interesting, a phylactery, I had never seen those.

Don't Lich use them to be immortal by leaving their actual soul stored in them?

I should eat it and see if I can get a Skill from it instead of trying to set it up, it's only S Grade after all.

In fact let's eat the ring too, and drink all the potions, I'm feeling pretty hungry.

Ding!

[You have gluttonously consumed the following items: [Divine Skill Proficiency Elixir (S Grade)] x20 [Divine Skill Points Phial (S Grade)] x20 [Divine Stat Points Phial (S Grade)] x20 [Cosmic Nether Crystalized Skull Phylactery (S Grade)] x1 [Cosmic Undead Soul Summoning Ring (S Grade)] x1!]

[You gained 2.000.000 Skill Proficiency; please choose which Skills do you want to use it on.]

[The Skill: [Primordial Golden Demon Scarab Swarm Queen Of Eternal Sun Transformation: Khepri: Lv3/30] has Leveled Up to Level 6!]

[The Skill: [Primordial Azure Sea Orichalcum Armament Creation: Lv4/30] has Leveled Up to Level 5!]

[The Skill: [Heavenly Demonic Elemental Spirit Sanctuary Manifestation: Pandemonium: Lv2/30] has Leveled Up to Level 4!]

[You gained +20.000 Skill Points.]

[You gained +20.000 Stat Points.]

[You have absorbed the components of two Cosmic Undead Relics! The powers of the strange Relics have been absorbed completely, becoming new Skills!]

[You learned the Skill: [Cosmic Soul Phylactery Formation: Lv1]!]

[You learned the Skill: [Cosmic Undead Summon: Lv1]!]

Two new Skills! Interesting, not bad at all, let's keep going! Don't slow the pace!

Ding!

[You have opened the [Three-Headed Mutant Zombie Serpent Themed Cosmic Undead Treasure Chest (SS+ Grade)] x1!]

[You received the following Items: [Divine Gold Coins] x25.000 [Cosmic Undead Nether Essence Elixir (SS Grade)] x10 [Three-Headed Mutant Zombie Serpent Necrotic Shield (SS Grade)] x1 [Life-Draining and Soul-Eating Three-Headed Undead Serpent Sword (SS Grade)] x1 [Skill Fusion/Evolution Ticket: Three-Headed Mutant Undead Serpent Soul (SS Grade)] x1]

Oh! Interesting, some essence elixir, and two pieces of equipment alongside what seems to be a new type of Skill Fusion or Evolution Ticket? It is both at the same time, it contains a fragment of the soul of these three headed boss monsters, weird. Will the resulting skill be affected by this? Interesting.

Okay let's eat everything except the ticket, heh.

Ding!

[You have gluttonously consumed the following items: [Cosmic Undead Nether Essence Elixir (SS Grade)] x10 [Three-Headed Mutant Zombie Serpent Necrotic Shield (SS Grade)] x1 [Life-Draining and Soul-Eating Three-Headed Undead Serpent Sword (SS Grade)] x1!]

[You gained +1.000.000 Soul Ether.]

[You have absorbed the two Cosmic Undead Relics and learned a new Skill.]

[You learned the Skill: [Cosmic Three-Headed Undead Hydra Sword and Shield Materialization: Lv1]!]

Interesting, a skill that materializes a shield and a sword, like the good ol' times!

This is getting more fun now.

I still remember eating all kinds of items back then and always getting some wacky Skill.

But nowadays that's very hard, but it seems it has finally come back with these cosmic relics I'm getting thrown every time now.

Next is… the [Archdemon of Wrath's Themed Demonic Treasure Chest]!
