It had been 5 hours within the Ouroboros' divine spatial dimension. One hour had passed on the outside world. MF's Nerull's Bane and One For All Bestower had been activated all the time throughout the intense process
The surge of Ki's malevolent substances began to grow larger and larger in volume. MF had been using her consciousness strings to manually prevent Ki's soul and body from breaking apart.
'What with this intense minor ascension? Is it because of my influence due to the vassal and master pact!?'
MF noticed the 'mark' that she gave to her vassal had been radiating a weird sign for a while. As the report papers began to form a vortex with Ki as the center, so did the divine power that MF had been continuously using to fuel her vassal from breaking.
Until at one point, everything stopped. The whole charade ended with a pulse of shockwave that almost knocked MF out from her stance.
Equally as stressed, MF limply sat on the ground with a tired smile. "That is one heck of a portfolio."
Ki opened her eyes, a small rune formation consisting of her curse substance eventually formed from her back. Slowly branching and creating an edge, it deliberately formed into a black geometric wings that was connected straight into her soul, like how MF's halo connected to its owner.
MF read Ki's divine symbols again, her original symbol had been upgraded, or to be precise, evolved.
'Usurping Deity of Tribunal Blight.'
Ki looked extremely confused. "What was happening!?"
MF grunted a little bit and then laid herself limply on the ground, acting like she was badly injured. "Urgh, an evil force has attacked our realm, and I'm protecting you for five hours without rest while you're unconscious."
"HUEEEE!!" Ki immediately rushed to her master and cradled her head by hand. "I'M SOWWYY!!"
"Pfft, I'm just joking." MF put an assuring smile. "Congratulations on your major ascension, try looking at your own divine symbol."
"Masterr! It's not funny! Also, what do you mean by major ascensio—HOLY SHIT! I HAVE MY USURPING PORTFOLIO AND IT WASN'T A DREAM!?"
After a while, they experimented with Ki's current capability with her new divinity portfolio.any changes had been introduced. For example, Ki was able to directly send a curse through her protection mark into more than one person simultaneously. Not only that now her curse had become more feracious, it became more potent with the destructive effect amplified by ten.
Of course, those two were killing people because they were doing it right after they got out from the divine realm. Or else, how would they know the extent of Ki's new capability and strength?
Not to mention, the amount of 'faith' that MF received from her followers' streamline was amplified by twice fold. It was more of a privilege for having a strong vassal deity, but that wasn't all the delicious toppings about this part.
Because their strength was almost equal, MF got her own portion of the 'faith of tribunal blight'. While on Ki's side, she got an extra portion of the 'faith of death' that she could combine with her curse and protection.
MF noticed that she had grown in power to this extent due to the constant amount of divine power she inputted from the sakuradite crystal. The Ouroboros planned to try evolving her portfolios too in the future, knowing that it was possible to increase the quality of the result by shoving yourself with faith like a glutton.
Right now, both of them were outside of Domeniul Ceresc, right at the flat surface near the sect's ground.
"I think you should try creating your first form of life, Ki. Maybe you'll get an extra share of my divinity on that part. Fufufu."
"How? Unlike you, Master, I can't utilize the faith of perpetual creation into a material form."
"You can." MF grinned. "With your curse."
"Oooh! Wait, how does that work?"
MF began creating a translucent lump of square gel on the ground. With confidence, she injected 1,000 bits of 'faith of life', which was half of the exact amount of shares that Ki got. The share portion would increase according to the amount that MF stores. Although, it rarely ever increased because the Ouroboros had been using it wastefully like it was made on trees.
The Deity of Perpetual Creation injected the divine energy gently like a flowing river. Ki spectated the whole process and tried to comprehend what her master was trying to say.
"Think of the gel as your curse, lump them tightly into one combined nature and pump your thick 'faith of life' inside unrelentingly~"
"Milady, the way you word it feels very uncomfortable."
When she finished, the divine energy forced an emergence of life within the gelatinous vessel. Soon, the translucent square gel developed a consciousness and began to move around.
"Don't forget to use the 'faith of perpetual creation' if it begins to destabilize. Fufufu."
"Wooahh! It's cute!" Ki crouched down and prodded on the bouncy surface of the living gel cube. "I want to be able to do it too! But what is the benefit of it?"
"Isn't having a cute follower enough of a reason on its own?" MF chuckled. "Unlike normal followers, a blessed follower or a being that you brought to life has the mark and presence of your divinity and it simply creates a dense streamline of faith just by existing."
"I'll try making one then!"
"Good luck, I'll be supervising you."
Ki surged her 'curses' from her body and wings into a destructive lump of energy. Confused, she glanced at her master with a reluctant frown because what she had accumulated could easily devour the ground and kill a grown up person.
"M-master! W-what should I do!?"
Her emotional conflict resulted in an increase of the curse substance secretion. Before she knew it, the ball of malevolent particles had grown into 7 meters height in diameter.
MF gazed at the ever growing ball with a stiff smile while her vassal was flustered of what to do.
