After upgrading their Privileges from D Rank all the way to B Rank, which was the reason why it cost so much, I checked both of their Status after a long while. Their Stats have increased a lot, and not only that, but they gained a bunch of new Skills, and even a Title and a Privilege!

[Frost Queen's Throne (B Rank Privilege)]
-----
Baihe's Stats are looking pretty good for what she can do. Her specialization is magic at the end of the day, and even with all her training, her physical strength can only get her so far… Of course, the levels of physical power she reaches are due to her using copious amounts of Mana to physically strengthen her body through Aura. Something I similarly do.
Her Physique, especially compatible with it, allows her not to overload, which is what usually happens when people with weak bodies try too hard to strengthen their bodies using Mana Aura. Making her surprisingly tough and physically strong despite her surface looks.
Her new skills are still manifesting; I can't say much about them other than that they sound kind of cool. A Grip Ability to help her grab and stop foes, a Domain to expand her magic powers, and a breathing technique! Maybe this could help her cultivate the physique she has.
And lastly, the new Privilege…
-----
[Frost Queen's Throne (B Rank Privilege)]
A Unique Privilege bestowed on Dan Baihe after surpassing her meek and weak past selves.
By channeling the power of her Frost Powers, summons a throne of ice where you can sit down and watch the world freeze around you. A barrier of ice will always protect you from any damage, with a total durability of 100.000 Points.
Any foes within a vicinity of 100 meters surrounding your throne will receive 50% Ice-type Damage upon activation of this ability, while freezing and slowing down their movements, decreasing their Movement Speed, Reflexes, and Agility by -50%.
Additionally, when conjuring Ice-type magic while sitting in the throne of frost, it decreases MP Consumption by -50% and increases Magic Power by +200%.
Duration: 30 Minutes. Usages: 2 Per Day.
-----
Wait, huh?! This ability is the same that Dan Baihe in the future had! That one broken ability made it so hard for my brother to defeat her. She had this throne she always sat down on and this barrier of impenetrable ice. And well, this is similar but way weaker; the Dan Baihe of the future could use this ability limitlessly.
It'll surely come in handy for her… She has to first learn how to use this properly, though. Well, we'll have plenty of practice with the incoming dungeon exploration.

[Little Spider Queen's Guards (B Rank Privilege)]
-----
And about Annabelle, she's the opposite of Baihe, incredibly strong physically for how much of a little gremlin she is. She has okay magical potency but mostly uses all her mana for her abilities. Though some of them don't even require Mana to begin with!
Her formerly sealed skills, which I had sealed so she wouldn't be controlled by her brother, are now unsealed. And after some practice, it seems she can easily control her demonic transformation, which is that of a gigantic spider that boosts her physical strength and vitality by a lot.
It spends her internal Demonic energy, though, so she can't overuse it or she'll pass out after a while, but that's about it.
About her new Skills… Hmm, well, curse-based eyes? Powerful venom? And then there was the obvious thread magic. All of these are befitting of our little spider.
And now, she even has a secondary Privilege, perhaps better than what Arachne could have ever offered her.
-----
[Little Spider Queen's Guards (B Rank Privilege)]
A Unique Privilege bestowed upon Annabelle after she frees herself from the shackles of her brother.
A Queen does not need to fight; she has an army of guards that will take care of any foe for her.
By activating this Privilege, the user can summon a {Demonic Spider Guards Gate} that leads to a mysterious world full of Demonic Spiders.
These Demonic Spiders Strength varies from C Rank to A Rank randomly, but only 10 can be summoned at a time, and new Spiders cannot be summoned until the previous ten die or are unsummoned.
The Demonic Spider Guards will naturally last 24 Hours with their Queen before departing and can be summoned up to 2 times a day.
When protecting their Queen, their Stats rise by +50%, and their Abilities become +100% Stronger and more Effective.
-----
It sounds really interesting! The possibility of weaker spiders is a bummer, but not that bad if there are chances for even stronger spiders over the rank of privilege. And with that buff to stats and abilities when protecting her, she can now hang out with her own personal guard everywhere she goes. Which is ideal to complement her lack of battle experience, flexibility, and magic power.
If she can save her precious Mana and Ki by employing their help instead, then that's for the better. And if she has to use them as shields so she doesn't take damage, that's good too!
Also, their titles—now that I'm looking at them—they're a bit weird, aren't they?
"Anna's Sidekick" for Baihe—wow, that's rude! She's not my sidekick; she's my bestie!
And also "Anna's Adopted Lil' Sis" for Annabelle. It sounds about right.
"I know this sounds shameless, but can't you give me some of that Privilege stuff too?" Kevin wondered with greedy eyes.
"No!" I said. "You literally have the strongest sugar daddy backing you, Kevin! Odin can give you anything, no?"
"He has a few other candidates he's eyeing, so he's constantly pressuring me to improve if I want stuff. Yeah, he has granted me that Eye as well as the Spear, and some other Skills but... It's not like he's spoiling me every day!" Kevin said. "I worked hard to get his recognition, I swear."
"Hahaha, okay, okay." I shrugged. "The thing is, if I give you a privilege, God might get angry because it'll be as if I'm taking you away from them. So no, I won't do it. I'm in good agreement with the Asgardian Nebula too. I would rather not make them upset."
"The what, Nebula?" Kevin raised an eyebrow. He probably didn't know about Nebulas, groups of Constellations that belong to a Shared Myth working together as a giant group, usually dominating many worlds below their authority.
"Nothing; don't sweat the details." I smiled. "Anyways, let's eat! We can go train once we finish these delicious meals. I am starving, and this pizza might not be enough. Nom!" I ungraciously wolfed down half the pizza in just a couple minutes while drinking some sugary and carbonated drinks.
The best part about being Awakened is that your metabolism is so fast that you can eat all this food that'll make you fatter, and you'll be alright! I require so many calories that I burn through this in just a few minutes of intensive training.
"Yeah, let's fill ourselves up first." Baihe said. "Now I have some new skills I want to play around with…"
"Me too!" Annabelle nodded. "And a weird new privilege thing? I can somehow feel it, like a skill, but not really. So I just use it and-"
"Wait! Don't… Don't do it here." I stopped Annabelle before she caused a disaster in the restaurant by summoning ten giant spiders.
"Okaaay, sorry." She said, still confused but happily eating her giant ice cream cup.
As I sighed in relief, I saw a notification. It was something regarding Annabelle, which I had slightly forgotten about until now, but that made total sense seeing how everything has gone through since then.
[You have fulfilled the Skill Copy Conditions for [Character: Annabelle]!]
[You not only have freed her from the shackles of her insane brother, but you've also introduced her to a new life—the life she always wished to have.]
[She has friends now, a house to belong to, a family, Scarlet, and above all, she's beginning to realize that life has much more than just worrying about what to fight the next day.]
[She's even beginning to enjoy eating all kinds of things!]
[Now that you've fulfilled her wishes, you can copy a single skill from her Unique Skill List.]
[Please choose one skill to copy]: [Spider Queen (S)] [Abyssal Poison Magic (S)] [Demonic Transformation (S)] [Demonic Aura Manifestation (S)] [Divided Ego (S)]
Huh, I can't copy any of the newer Skills. I guess even with new Privileges, this doesn't change. I can only copy what they originally had. Well, alright, it's still a tough choice! There are way too many skills to choose from.
And all of them sound like they could be of some use to me. Well, let's first scratch the poison magic, Yeah, I got Poison Creation, and that's enough. Moving to Demonic Transformation? I threw away my half-demonic beast transformation, but I already have that fake demon king form, so nope.
Demonic Aura Manifestation? I think this is what makes Annabelle conjure such powerful Auras that also transform into spiders and can turn physical and metallic; the armor that covers her body is part of this Aura, combined with her Spider Queen's Skill.
Yeah, her abilities work very well in synergy with one another, and I didn't particularly need the Aura Manifestation Skill anyway; I could probably do something similar using my own powers.
Then what's left after all that is Spider Queen or Divided Ego! I wanted to pick Spider Queen because of its unique effects, but then I reconsidered and moved back to Divided Ego, the first skill that had originally attracted me.
It's a special Skill, it allows Annabelle to divide her human ego with her demonic ego. Before this, her demonic ego was like a different self, a beast that was trying to eat her. When the ability was sealed, this ego also disappeared temporarily and weakened.
Now that the skill is back, Annabelle looks normal, which means she was able to reach a truce with her divided ego after freeing herself from her brother's influence. This allows her to take on her normal form and then her demonic form at will.
And it might even allow me to do more things than her due to my different skill set. After all, synergy skills require more skills around them to work properly.
But what if I take one of their synergy skills and place my own instead around them? A lot of unprecedented effects could arise.
And that's kind of interesting, to be honest...
So, without further ado...!
[You have copied the [Divided Ego (S): Lv1] Innate Skill from [Character: Annabelle]!]
[The [Divided Ego (S): Lv1] Skill has begun to scan your existing Abilities and Skills.]
[Many potential Synergy Effects have been detected.]
[Several Divided Egos have been detected.]
[Processing…]
Wait, several Divided Egos?!
