Before departing, Maria evolved Nia's Dream Weapon spear, allowing it to manifest even more of its true power.
The spear gained elegant wing-like decorations, and its tip now resembled the sharp beak of a mighty bird.
Its golden hue deepened with streaks of green metal and transparent jewels, radiating far greater power.
"I feel a deeper connection with my Dream Weapon now," Nia said softly. "I guess maybe I can do this...?"
The spear suddenly dissolved into green and golden light, merging seamlessly into Nia's body.
To everyone's astonishment, she fused completely with her Dream Weapon and underwent a stunning transformation.
FLUOSH!
Green and golden feathers appeared along her arms, legs, and neck.
Her long hair transformed into flowing feathers, and two pairs of large, majestic wings unfurled from her back.
Above her head rose a golden horn shaped like a bird's sharp beak, gleaming like an ornate crown.
"Oh my! I-I changed quite a lot?!"
