Chapter 833 - New Plan! . . . After having introduced Andromeda to everyone, it was finally time to proceed with my plans for today. Which plans, you may wonder? Well, it was as simple as breathing! In fact, I am disappointed that you cannot guess the most obvious step after I became a Goddess! No, it is not becoming a Great Goddess, that will have to wait until I have a big enough buffet of Gods. That is right, the next step is incredibly obvious! I will make my family and allies raise to godhood! … Well yeah, how the heck can I even do such a thing, to begin with? It is pretty easy for someone such as me, heh. Perhaps all Gods would need to force their mortals to level up for years, but I can get the work done in an instant! With my special Skill, Spring of Primordial Essence, I can use my own Primordial Essence, transform it into EXP, and feed it to my family and allies. The bad part of this stuff is that the Primordial Essence is lost… forever! The Good thing is that the Skill is maxed out, so I get the most out of the extraction. Another bad thing is that I could not use it on myself. Well, duh, how could I even do such a thing? It was my own power, so what comes from me will just keep being there. If I could have been given such a chance, Thanatos and the rest would have fought against a Goddess, not my mortal past self! Come to think about it, I am now a Goddess, damn. It has not even been a year since I was born, and I am a Goddess already. Maybe let us try to make it fast so I can become a Supreme in time record! I guess I am not such a little problem now, eh? However, even as Goddess… My personality has not changed at all! I am still the good ol' Kireina. Just remembering when I was a Caterpillar and began to wonder how I would even look like as a Divine Being, and now here I am, nothing much has changed I guess. The changes are so gradual and slow that I barely realized it! Well, you cannot really call my changes "slow" when I became a Goddess in less than a year since I was reborn in this world. Welp, we learn something new every day, right? Anyways, I might as well stop blabbering. Let us go back to the main topic, my family and friends turning into Gods! Many of them had already achieved something I call "Pseudo-Divinity" already, such as Truhan with Celica, Wagyu, Kekensha, all my wives (well, most of them), and all of my children. In fact, Scarlet is actually a Living Deity… Yeah, I forgot to mention it. I do not think she was one before being born, but through these two weeks, she unadvisedly raised to godhood. So when she raised to godhood she thought an angry black and red thunder appeared inside her inner realm, so she ate it entirely in a single bite with her powers… I do not know how she did this before everyone else, but I am beginning to think that she already had everything for it, and her levels simply didn't matter. Scarlet is one of those beings that transcended the System, and after breaking the barrier of the mortal hood she forcefully summoned a Divine Trial without her consent… After all, the Gods themselves said that you do not actually need to max level to become a God, but it is the best way to do it because the System will assist you if you do. Scarlet did it on her own while being completely clueless. Damn, does not that make her amazing? My little and beautiful child is so talented! As she is close by, I manage to catch her and kiss her face, she hugs me cutely. Is she really as terrifying as her powers make her be? She is such a cutie! I want to protect this little preciousness! Of course, you do not think I will just do all of them at once, right? After all, all of them will have to fight a Divine Trial each! For now, I will go in order. Rimuru, Zehe, Amiphossia, Gaby, and Brontes will be done today, and the next days will be like this too. I have a giant harem, so I have to slowly do this. Five a day is good enough. After all of my wives are done, then will come my children, and then my friends. And now that I gained more Time Attribute Particles after raising to Goddess, I have adjusted the time dilation of my Divine Realm, so each day in the real world is 20 days here. Hehe, I am just cheating this game at this point. Before actually starting, Agatheina helps me instruct the girls about what they need to do through their ritual to rise to godhood. I had done all of it on my own, but I was also quite confused, so her guidance will be better than mine, especially because my own Divine Trial was the weirdest, as I just fought the Sins and Commandments… I do not think it will be the same for them. Like, at all! "Now, everyone, please make sure to listen to me," said Agatheina rather gently. Rimuru, Zehe, Nesiphae, Gaby, and Brontes glanced at Agatheina with a bit of resolve, they were all decided to grow stronger at my side and help me as much as they could, so they were ready to learn as much as they could. "Please tell us anything you can, guu!" said Rimuru. "We are ready! This is the last time I will accept honey helping us, after this, we'll grow on our own and help her!" said Zehe. "Indeed, I will make sure to become a ruthless goddess, and assist my little butterfly," said Nesiphae. "Yep, let me help out too! Although I am not so sure if we will ever stop receiving her help… But using such help, we can assist her a lot, so do not think that we are just being parasites or something, girls," said Gaby. "That's right, let's keep walking in the same path as Kireina-sama," said Brontes. "Ah, don't worry girls, I am sure that your cultivation will soar whenever you reach Godhood, through Dual Cultivation every night, I always feel that my attribute particles increase a bit… Kireina-sama's mating press is my favorite too!" said Agatheina. "D-Do you have to be so direct, Agatheina-san?" I asked. "Why yes! If it were for me, I would praise your amazing s.e.x.u.a.l techniques all day long, Kireina-sama! There is no day that I am not eager for the night to come!" said Agatheina. …I see, she might have become a bit addicted to having s.e.x with me. "A-Anyways, Agatheina-san, continue, please," said Zehe. "Oh right! I completely went off-track, fufu, my bad! Anyways, as I was going to say, although the System will assist you to rise to godhood whenever you reach max level, you also need to cooperate with it! It doesn't mean that everything will be done automatically, although a great deal of it will be!" said Agatheina. "Got it," said Brontes. "Your first step will be to summon the Divine Trial, and when you manage to defeat it, its Attribute Particles will turn into yours immediately, giving you enough power to begin your ascendence into godhood…" said Agatheina. "Oh, I see, guu!" said Rimuru. "As I said, when that is done, the System will begin the ritual automatically, opening your soul, as if tearing it apart, and letting large quantities of Divine Energy enter, this Divine Energy comes from the World itself, but if you raise to godhood in another God's Divine Realm such as Kireina-sama's Divine Realm, you will drain her Divine Realm's Divine Energy instead," said Agatheina. "Eh?! Is that okay?" asked Gaby while being concerned. "I would prefer if it were to be done inside. Don't worry about that, I am also constantly drawing this energy from the outside world through my own Divine Realm, it will recover after a few hours, that's why I only wanted five at a time at most," I said. "I see, so you got everything thought out, I suppose," said Brontes. "But that's obvious, Brontes-san, Kireina-sama always thinks of everything! Her greatness has clearly no equals! …Anyways, as I said earlier, whenever your soul opens is when you need to work yourself too. You must guide the streams of white-colored divine energy inside of your soul until it finally begins to nourish itself. It will be a slow and gradual process, but it is not particularly difficult as long as you put your mind into it," said Agatheina. "After that, your soul will begin to evolve and dissolve, and a cocoon will be created around your physical body too, in that time is when you will undergo evolution, and become a Living Deity through the excruciating pain of having your body and soul melted and reformed!" said Agatheina. "Uuuh… I-I see…" said Gaby. "I knew it wouldn't be a walk in the park, I am a warrior, so I am accustomed to pain," said Brontes. "Yeah, we'll do just fine, guu," said Rimuru. "Indeed, I will clench my teeth," said Zehe. "I think your teeth will melt too… But let us put all our might into resisting the pain," said Nesiphae. "Ah, right. All of you girls ate a Legendary Weapon already, right? It means that, like Kireina-sama, you will have the Divine Evolution Skill! Every time you raise through a Realm of Divinity, you will be given the chance of evolving! Meaning that you can evolve into a greater being right there! Make sure to pick the correct choice for your specialization," said Agatheina. Just as Agatheina said, my wives, children, and even friends had eaten Legendary Weapons. Thanks to the latest battle everyone got Divinity Devouring by fusing with me, and they evolved it to God Devour not long after through eating Gods so much (and bonus proficiency by doing it with me at the same time through fusion), due to that, they ate some of their pile of Legendary weapons and above and got the Divine Evolution Skill alongside other of these basic Divine Skills from weapons. This not only happened with them but also with the Gods too, such as Agatheina, so whenever they raise to the next Realm they will evolve, something that only Divine Beasts or Weapons could do. Of course… this is something that Gods cannot do, hehe. Why? Because even with their Divinity Devouring, they do not have gluttony! Gluttony is what helps us learn Skills from what we eat. I think Divinity Devouring can do something a bit like that, but it is very limited and not as broad and ridiculous as Gluttony. And because I can share it with everyone, it is even easier for everyone to get special and amazing Skills such as Divine Evolution. And like that, everyone got that Skill, so they will evolve whenever they raise to godhood! Pretty amazing if I do say so myself. As Agatheina finished her explanations, everyone was ready to undergo their trials, and I was ready to give them the last bits of EXP needed to hit max level! . . .
