The surroundings slowly became normal. What remained were only the mutual understandings of two deities that had bonded spiritually.
"Fufufu, you've done your best. Your first mission will be integrating yourself as my Vassal Deity in Domeniul Ceresc."
Ki stood as she nodded her head and hands. "I'll try my best!"
MF had noticed it for a while, but it seemed like it was the time to address it.
Somewhere in the near berry bushes, was a peeking eyes from someone who is craving attention. MF glanced at its position.
The clone hopped from the bush. Donning the gothic lolita outfit, it was obvious who it was.
A blissful expression permeated the Pseudo-Deity. Just like a parent who watched its child born, MF felt emotional seeing her first creation of life sprung to existence.
MF knew what was coded in her own clone's muscle memory. It was just like how chicks follow the first thing it sees as their mother, and it was just like how a baby chimps felt an urge of a motherly figure to reduce its stress, the clone saw its creator as that kind of figure.
So the Ouroboros crouched as she opened her arms, waiting for her child to jump on her with a bright smile.
The clone immediately teared up as she saw the gesture. She only had an emotional fear of being rejected by its creator at the current moment. MF open arms showed a deep acknowledgement of the clone's existence. It gave the genderless humanoid a surge of positive emotion.
Fumbling over the grass, the clone immediately rushed and leaped onto MF's arms.
"Mommy!"
MF wasn't prepared for that. "Eh, mommy?"
The same case with Ki. "MOMMY!?"
"Hueeee! Don't leave me when I'm born! The cave is so dark and everything is scary!
'Huwaa, this child is so demanding on the day she was born.' MF felt a tangy sour feeling in her tongue. As the child used her shoulder to weep its tear, MF gently patted the clone's back with affection.
"M-milady, you have a child?"
"She is the first life I've ever blessed upon this world. Just take her as one of my followers." MF then stood up, lifting the clone that took the appearance of the younger version of her current form. "You're the first life I've created. Hence, your name will be Primis! The first Ourarian! The race that will bear the existence of Ouroboros in every land you stepped upon! Fufufu, I hope you serve me well for the time you're alive."
"I will!"
"M-milady! C-can I give my blessings to her?"
"No." MF giggled. "Your blessings are ominous, give her your protection instead."
"Gyehe, consider it done!"
The 'Protection of Lesser Minor Deity of Curses'. Those who got this delicate power would be shrouded by Ki's divine energy.
Any living being who bore hatred and resentment or those who directed their negative intent to the bearer of this protection, will be marked by the Lesser Minor Deity of Curse. Those individuals would be connected to Ki and with it, Ki can send her malevolent substances to them via the bridge that was set by her protection.
Her 'curse' would corrode their body starting from the connection of the soul's 42 anchors. The deadly substances will corrode those people from the inside relentlessly. For those who didn't have any material vessel will have their soul directly shrouded in Ki's curse.
Her 'curse' wasn't strong enough to attack the soul effectively but it would be enough to inflict extreme mental pain that ached like hellfire. Even if her curse didn't end up killing her target, it was extremely effective against mortals that it would stay for days before it completely left its victims.
"Gyoho, the little Primis have my 'Protection'! Don't worry, your aunt will protect you!"
"Aunty Ki!"
MF smiled reluctantly. "Since when you've become her aunt?"
After that, MF took Ki and Primis for another legit tour across the whole Domeniul Ceresc. They met with Asir in the middle of the tour. After the introduction and MF vigorously explaining the context, Asir immediately held high respect to the struggling deity of curse, making her teared up for having someone having this kind of acknowledgement from a spirit or mortal in general for the first time.
"Asirrrr!" Ki immediately lunged herself to the giant wisp, hugging him tightly as the substances that came from her body began to corrode Asir. "Thank youuuuu!"
"Lady Ki, I know that you're really emotional now, but please don't inflict your malevolent curse on me while doing so."
Ki immediately apologized. Of course, Asir knew that she didn't mean it so he only laughed it off together with MF and Primis.
The tour continued with a great start. Ain joined the moment he saw the divine brigade. After some chatting on their fun journey, Ain began to construct another story for his sermon for spreading his master's divinity alongside the new Vassal Deity's popularity.
"Soul Supreme, the other Deity didn't also become your Vassal Deity?" asked Ain playfully.
MF chuckled. "You idiot, she is higher in hierarchy than me."
"I didn't know uncle Ain had a sense of humor." Primis picked another wild fruit, snacking on them in their exploration event. "How are wisps able to exist anatomically anyway?"
"Primis, you're able to calculate the time and distance of our tour while also determining the nutrient of the wild fruits you ate along the way by just tasting, but you can't grasp the concept of a literal lump of energy," Ain replied, whether he was smiling or getting angry, nobody know.
"Milady! Why don't I understand a single thing that those two said?"
MF could only caress Ki's head who was tugging her dress. "Try asking Primis."
"Primis, why can't I?"
"That is because aunty Ki is dumb."
"I regret giving you my Protection."
Through high and low, through forest and meadow. They ended up having a picnic in the sea of flowers as they watched the sun slowly sinking to the horizon. MF cooked some snacks personally on her BBQ set, resulting in a happy face getting shown by Ki and Primis.
And then another guest joined the parade.
"Darling, I hate you for leaving me out of the fun."
