Chapter 800 - A New Creation That Will Surpass Classes, Skills, Titles, and More! . . . Poor Origin Core. Did it really expect me to go up all the way into the Babel Tower to discover it? Nope, if I can get it by skipping all of it I will. After all the Babel Tower itself is not really the main challenge in this world, those are in the outside world, and the Gods. And well, the other hostile Realms they govern, filled with powerful beings, wars, and catastrophes. There are also the Higher Realms, Realms filled with Divine Energy where only Divine Beasts roam and, perhaps even more dangerous than World Dungeons themselves. And yeah, World Dungeons that are not mine yet, which I would need to conquer first unlike Babel, those will truly be the challenge here, but not this thing, I mean, it is mine, after all, I am the big boss here! Anyways, enough rambling around. It is a core that stores Law, System, and other Primordial Attributes, and it could let me use them even more freely, while also boosting their capabilities. It is also, well, connected to my own soul, and it could even evolve more as I progress, perhaps it will at some point even fuse with my Divine Core and form something greater. …And maybe I will get my Galaxy Divine Realm then? The Origin Core also has the power to store information like a computer, to process it, and to control this Divine Realm just like the Origin Core would do with Genesis. And actually, I can let it do a lot of automatic stuff now that I think about it! Hmm, can I move it around? I try to grab the Origin Core, as it simply hovers to my side. Oh, such an obedient child. I believe I cannot get it out of my Divine Realm though, as it exists inside of my soul, taking it out would be impossible. So I quickly grab the altar too and teleport back to my castle, I quickly build a new hall with my Creation Skill, add some details here and there, some pillars, decorations, and stuff, and done. In one minute there is a new hall, where I place my Origin Core over the altar. Like this, I can touch it and receive its help anytime! My wives and children quickly come near me, as I end up explaining everything. "Origin Core?!" asked Zehe. "Origin Core… Isn't that what you ate?" asked Nesiphae. "Yeah, Kireina-sama, could this be related to it?" asked Agatheina. And then, I have to explain to them what I thought about it and how it originated, from the dungeon, getting over the 100 billion Primordial Essence, and the threshold that triggered the existence of this Origin Core. They end up being very surprised of course, but Agatheina is the one that gets it the most as she is experienced with god stuff, although she never knew about Origin Cores, and thought that it might be only a thing I could develop after eating an Origin Core Fragment from the World itself. "Perhaps it is only a thing that you could develop, Kireina-sama… After all, I have not heard any Great God having Origin Cores before! But maybe Supreme Gods might have it? Or Great and Supreme Gods are simply hiding this truth from any beings lower than them?" wondered Agatheina. "So it is like a supercomputer?" asked Charlotte, who was experienced with Magic Technology and the new computers we had created. "It is kind of like that, yeah… And way more too. It seems to have limitless potential to improve and acquire new abilities, but it could also be said to be like an administrator of my very soul and powers. I could leave it administrating the Divine Realm, or even let it do some stuff within the System by infusing it knowledge and giving it orders," I said. "I see… so that formed when you ate the Dungeon Cores?" asked Mady. "Most likely, the World Dungeons enormous power triggered this qualitative and quantitative change into my soul, and crystalized the power into this Origin Core," I said. "Oh so Babel Tower is not so much?" asked Rimuru a bit disappointed. "Don't worry, I am sure that we can have a lot of fun there nonetheless, the final boss was tremendously strong!" I said. "Oh, did you fight it?" asked Oga. "Not yet, but we can do it later, perhaps explore the whole place later on!" I said. "Yay! Sounds like fun!" said Vudia. "Another dungeon to explore!" said Ailine. As my family began to chat around, I finally decided to powerup a bit, seeing that the Origin Core might bring even more possibilities and make the control and adaptation to the System way more smoothly, I decided to begin with something I have wanted to do for some time already, leaving the shopping session for the Divine Dungeon Shop for later. What, you might wonder? First of all, we must begin with something essential, let us check my classes! The ones I want to aim for are those that will give me the power to fuse everything, they are in subclasses if I recall correctly. Though now that both Skill Points are simply Divine Skill Points, should not Class and Subclasses also merge? Ding! [Classes] and [Subclasses] categories have been combined into [Divine Classes]!] So it is true… I do remember Gods saying that they got special and stronger Classes that cost way more than mine. Will these Divine Classes cost a fortune now? Ugh, I hope not. And I hope the Divine Merger Classes did not disappear or something! Well, let us check them! [Available Divine Classes] [Supreme Druid of the Daughters of the Forest], [Aegis Shield User], [Lamashtu], [Phantasos], [Phobetor], [Legion], [Apophis], [Typhoeus], [Gungnir Spear User], [Divine Aura Fighter], [Inner Worlds Creator], [Shamash], [Isis], [Fulgora], [Lei Long], [Janus], [Zhulong], [Nuwa], [Aruna], [Ushas], [Sul-pa-e], [Ophion], [Divine Fire Soul Djinn], [Hephaestus Hammer User], [Shub-Niggurath], [Yog-Sothoth], [Labyrinthos], [Helios Successor], [Divine Ice Soul Fairy], [Kauket], [Primordial Beast of Self-Gluttony], [Amorphous Spatial Conqueror], [Eros], [God Annihilator], [Theseus], [Divine Living Dungeon], [Cthulhu], [Great Chaotic Abyssal Demon Queen], [Chaotic Queen Witch of Calamity], [Void Attribute Magician], [Goddess of the Spring of Primordial Essence], [Abhorred Carrier of Disease and Pestilence], [Nergal], [Ruler of L.u.s.t], [Neo Uroboros][Divine Equipment Devourer], [Divine Chain Breaker], [Heavenly Sealer], [Thunderstorm Pickaxe Miner Goddess], [Divine Titaness Matriarch of Earth], [Gaia], [Divine Oceanic Chimera Empress], [Hydros], [Soul-Bound Divine Wyvern Blade], [Deceiver of Gods], [God Clone User], [Megusan], [Geggoron], [Apollo], [Garaksasha], [Cyrene], [Asclepius], [Soul-Bound Divine Sacred Wind Bow Heroine Goddess], [Divine Light Medicine Priestess Goddess], [Ammit], [Demogorgon], [Khepri], [Karkinos], [Vetala], [Leutogi], [Nuska], [Dyonisos], [Pan], [Saraswati], [Polyhymnia], [Calliope], [Nin-Ildu], [Tayt], [Talented Class and Skill Guider], [Otherworldly Knowledge Bestower], [Seshat], [Vishwakarma], [Divine Magic Technology Creator], [Creidhne], [Goibniu], [Luchtaine], [Daedalus], [Divine Equipment Creator], [Shaper of the Void], [Spatial Architect], [Divine Dungeon Creator], [Mother of the Dew of Primordial Essence], [Experience Points Bestower], [Skill Points Bestower], [Divine Class Changer], [Evolution Guider], [Divine Armory Goddess], [Divine Weapon Forger], [Divine Equipment Forger], [Divine Weapon and Equipment Transmuter], [Cao Guojiu], [Benzaiten], [Heavenly Light Medic], [Divine Body Recreator], [Divine Soul Usurper], [Divine God Puppet Master], [Divine Magic Technology Goddess], [Transmigration Cycle Manipulator], [Architect of Internal Worlds], [Divine Dungeon Internal World Ruler], [Divine Dungeon Heart Core], [Monstrous Goddess of Arts and War], [Dream World Creator God], [Divine Crafter of Dreams], [Heavenly Soul Healer], [Skill Blueprint Creator], [Divine Merger of Skills], [Divine Merger of Titles], [Divine Merger of Blessings], [Divine Merger of Curses] [To Acquire New Divine Classes, you can Combine existing ones, or Create more Classes through the [Divine Class Creation] Function!] What? So these are just the old Classes! Wait I can create new Classes now, just as I wanted and thought before… But I am not settling for just that, no! I am going to merge it all, Classes with Blessings, with Titles, and Skills! Yeah, pure insanity! With my new Origin Core, I can do that! Now, let us fuse these one Classes I wanted for some time now that I finally have enough Skill Points to go ham with it. Of course, if you do not remember, I can fuse Classes now that I took the Divine Class Merger Class some days ago before the War, and now, I can finally use it more freely that I have a lot of Divine Skill Points! [Do you wish to Merge the [Divine Class Changer], [Skill Blueprint Creator], [Divine Merger of Skills], [Divine Merger of Titles], [Divine Merger of Blessings], and [Divine Merger of Curses] Classes for 550.000 Divine Skill Points?] [>YES? NO] Yep, these are the Classes I wanted to fuse. What is best to fuse than classes that already help you fuse things, with that, wouldn't I get an all-fusing Skill and Class? And I added the Skill Blueprint Creator because it most likely will help me create Skills too, so it went well into the mix! However, I am going to use the almighty discount! Ding! [Maximum amount of discount for Class Merge is [-50%] due to the necessity for stable Source Energy for the process to be unfolded, the System cannot provide more than 50%] Oh… So this is way more complicated than just purchasing items in the Divine Shop? Well what a bummer, but it still nice, it will cost 250.000 Skill Points instead, not so bad. Alright, let us do it now! Ding! [You have exchanged 275.000 Divine Skill Points!] [Class Merge Successful, the [Divine Class Changer], [Skill Blueprint Creator], [Divine Merger of Skills], [Divine Merger of Titles], [Divine Merger of Blessings], and [Divine Merger of Curses] Classes have been merged into the [Heavenly Merger and Creator of System Functions] Divine Class!] It is finally here, the power that I have been waiting for so long to attain, with this, I will become even more of an insane rule-breaker! Rules? They were made to be destroyed! [Heavenly Merger and Creator of System Functions] A Divine Class created through the merge of the [Divine Class Changer], [Skill Blueprint Creator], [Divine Merger of Skills], [Divine Merger of Titles], [Divine Merger of Blessings], and [Divine Merger of Curses] Classes. This Divine Class grants the user the ability to merge and create new functions within the system, including essential functions such as Skills, Titles, Curses, Blessings, Divine Classes, and more without any restriction. However, enough Divine Skill Points and other Materials and Resources are needed in exchange for such fusions, and the more fusions are carried with more elements, the it becomes more costly. [Available Skills: [Merger and Creator of System Functions: Level -] (1.000.000 Divine Skill Points) (Required to Complete the Divine Class) [Exchangeable Stat Bonuses: None. Ah, there it is! Now, let's discount and buy! I can only discount it up to 50% as well… Damn it, why did I even max the thing now? Oh right, for the Sins and Commandments. I gotta make sure to create some new things for those guys too, they want some action. [Kireina] changed Classes to [Heavenly Merger and Creator of System Functions]!] [Kireina] gained +60.000 Divine Energy, +20.000 Aether, and +20.000 Fate!] [Kireina] exchanged 500.000 Divine Skill Points for the [Merger and Creator of System Functions: Level -] (500.000 Divine Skill Points) (Required to Complete the Divine Class) Skills!] [Kireina] learned the [Merger and Creator of System Functions: Level -] Skill!] Yes! With this… I can finally get loose! What should I even fuse first, huh? Hmm… Maybe I should prioritize my strongest power, Devour, right? Time to fuse all of those Skills, Titles, Classes, and more related to it! Maybe I could get something similar to Scarlet's Skill…! [Do you wish to fuse the [Divine Enemy: Level 10],[Uroboros; Level 10], [Self-Enhancement: Cannibalism; Level 10], [Self-Nourishment: Cannibalism; Level 10], [God Devour, Level 10], [Sin of Gluttony Arts: Level 1], [Other Devour, Eating, and Slaying-related Skills], [Title: Realm Menace: Gluttony], [Title: Awakened Sin of Gluttony], [Many Devour & Slayer-type Titles], [Class: Primordial Beast of Self-Gluttony], [Class: God Annihilator], [Class: Theseus], [Class: Neo Uroboros], and [Class: Divine Equipment Devourer] for 5.000.000 Divine Skill Points?] By applying the 50% discount, it becomes 2.500.000 Divine Skill Points. Quite a lot but… it is worth it. I press the 'Yes' Option, as suddenly, from my very soul, all these titles, skills, classes, and more, emerge as spheres of light! All the spheres begin to merge together, and then, an enormous quantity of power, which is the Divine Skill Points, is poured over it, which then merges with my soul! Flash! J-Just what is this?! Now… I gotta name this thing! It is forming… something even higher than Classes, Skills, Titles, and more…! Perhaps it is what I wanted…? A Skill Tree?! Well, let's just give them a better name… Paths! This is a power that I have created on my own, by using the powers I gained through the System, fusing them all together to form something higher and bigger, this is my own path! Now form, and become my power! Flash! Suddenly, my soul feels as if it is about to explode! However… it quickly ends. And suddenly, something enormous emerges within, a large, golden sphere, glowing brightly and beautifully, resembling a jewel that encompasses enormous power and various concepts, a Path. Ding! [Path System] has been successfully created!] [You have opened your first [Path Orifice]!] [You have acquired the [Monarch of Gluttony] [Path Jewel]!] Within my sight, my soul opened as if it were an enormous board, with several locked orifices, one of them opened, a Path Orifice, where my Path Jewel, the new I formed through these fusions, was placed right into it! Flash! The moment the golden jewel was placed, it began to expand all around the [Path Board] as if it were several tree roots, just like a Skill Tree… Now… I can feel it. I can even use Skill Points to unlock each of these roots, there are now endless paths, endless possibilities, endless powers, endless skills, endless growth! I have achieved it! At last! This is the power of Paths! [Path Orifices: [1: [Monarch of Gluttony], [2: Locked], [3: Locked], […] [Path Orifice 1: [Monarch of Gluttony] [Path Jewel Grade: Living Deity (Rank 1)]: The Path that those who have made Gluttony their own power, something that belongs to their very souls and that cannot be taken away, your own power. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎 Devour anything that crosses your road through this Path, mercilessly and gluttonously! Eat everything, even the heavens, the planets, the stars, the galaxies, and the universe! The only limit is the one you make for yourself. [1st Branch] [Gluttonous Primordial Beast: Neo Uroboros (000/100)]: As one that has harnessed the power of Ouroboros and Gluttony with their soul, your Soul has the properties of devouring anything as long as you have enough power to do so, additional power can be acquired from anything you devour, such as Stats, Skill Points, Dungeon Points, and more. Additional Abilities: [Chaotic Annihilator of Divinities (0/30)], [Gluttonous Divinity Feasting (0/30)], [Monstrous Self-Consumption and Renewal (0/30)], [Monstrous Abyssal Maws of Endless Devouring (0/30)] [1 Level = 10.000 Divine Skill Points] This is better than I thought! Not only all the power I fused is now mine, part of my very soul which cannot be separated anymore unless I will it, but I can also increase this new power even further, just as I thought! By using Divine Skill Points, I can just keep increasing these levels and using these new Abilities to become even stronger! And without further ado, let's fill this one branch immediately! . . .
