If Hydro's new form seemed to be capable of staying in the mortal realm, or simply the surface, it meant that she had acquired something that most gods seek, an ideal mortal vessel.
It has been explained before, but to resume it, any type of God, the stronger they get by raising Ranks, the harder it is for them to maintain their existence in areas that lack a dense amount of Divine Energy.
This is because their existences are simply too strong, the entire world and its attributes begin to be pressurized by their existence if they stay too long on the surface, and to lessen this burden in them and the world, they must spend Divine Energy.
Of course, the more weakened a God is, the easier it is for them to wander on the surface without much burden. And Gods such as Living Deities up to Rank 8 are quite safe on the surface, needing very little Divine Energy to sustain themselves.
This is because, as it has been explained to me, Living Deities are beings within mortals and deities, it's like the 'middle stage' before becoming a semi-complete divine being at Demigod, and then a complete divine being at God rank…
After that, there are the Great God and Supreme God Ranks, which, according to what I have learned, seem to be the Ranks that (obviously) surpass a complete god. Great Gods are very rare compared to Gods, there having less than fifty in the entire world of Genesis, while Supreme Gods are less than ten… Living Deities seems to go over the hundreds of thousands, demigods seem to go for the thousands, and gods there are only a few hundred.
However, according to Agatheina, this statistic keeps increasing rather than lowering, as Genesis had become such a vast world compared to how it was before, that it seems that mortals are becoming Living Deities every day across all Realms. Even in the Realm of Vida, there might be someone becoming a Living Deity…
Hydros, who seems to have acquired a mortal vessel as strong as a god, which was impregnated with the essence of her divine soul, seems to have become something similar to me in a way, or to Zudig with David's body. A perfect combination between a Divine Soul and a Mortal Vessel capable of supporting the Gods' Soul.
And isn't it obvious already? If I was capable of doing this with Hydros, what is stopping me from being capable of doing the same with the rest of the Gods…? Though it is rather tricky, as Hydros was very weakened, so the experiment might fail if it is done with a fully-fledged God in all of its strength like Agatheina.
"This body… now that I am slowly getting more used to it as I walk around, it feels lighter and better than my actual previous physical body… Ah! Now that I am a cute woman, should I wear beautiful dresses? A-And underwear too! Ah, Kireina-sama, would you like to see me wearing something provocative? Fufu, so much to do~" said Hydros as we inspected her body in more detail, she was fantasizing about simply being womanlier… I am glad she is happy, I suppose.
"Well, you're completely naked now, so I doubt it will beat this…" I said.
"This physical vessel… is quite ideal! Just as those other gods are seeking… You did it already on your own! Wait, doesn't that mean that you can do the same with the other Gods?!" asked Redgaria in surprise.
"I believe so… to an extent, it should be doable… However, although it resulted simply fine with Hydros, I strongly believe that it might have been because she was already weakened, very weakened… a god on its own would be way too strong for the ritual to actually succeed, and for that to happen truly… I would have to ask the Gods to weaken themselves and help me do a ritual that might end up failing, I don't know if I should risk my relationship with them doing something like this…" I said.
"You got a point, Kireina. But what about it? Aren't those Gods fascinated with you anyways? I am sure that the crazy Agatha or however she's called will do it happily if there can be the chance for her to be always at your side!" laughed Redgaria.
"Yeah, but I am trying to be nice with them… I don't want Agatheina to weaken either just for me to try out something that might not result in success, as it would end up weakening my Pantheon, right?" I asked.
"Nice? You? Aside from your family… Do you believe in that bullcrap, Kireina? What is being nice anyway? Just a way to get more interests through certain actions…" said Redgaria.
"Hey, give me a break, I am trying to be better with my allies, they're my family as well, so it still applies within your logic," I said, glancing at Redgaria's eyes with my own.
"Sheesh, you're such a sensitive woman, if I were in your place, I would have already called any of those Gods to be a new experiment!" said Redgaria.
"Lucky for them you're never getting their attention aside from the crazy Hel," I said.
"Tch," said Redgaria, he really does act like an edgy kid, despite being an old man.
"Calm down there… We will get to it eventually. Despite all of your annoying personality, I am beginning to consider you family too," I said with a smile, patting Redgaria's back.
"Family?! Me? S-Stop talking stupid shit!" said Redgaria while crossing his arms.
"Oh? I have never seen you flustered! This is new! Haha! Anyways, Hydros, can you use your Divine Energy through that body? Have you tried infusing it within the vessel? We do not know yet if you can even do that yet, it might burst immediately into pieces" I said.
"That's… a good question, Kireina-sama… I should get to it…" said Hydros, sitting on the floor cross-legged, as she put her arms over her crossed legs and closed her eye, concentrating as if she were meditating.
I glanced at her entire body through my Eyes, detecting the flowing stream of Divine Energy, white-colored energy flowing through her blood vessels intensively, it coated her muscles and filled her blood vessels, reaching all of the many organs she had inside of the body, even the bones, and her brain. Her crimson eye opened again as the energy flowed freely, seemingly without any issues.
"This is… I can use Divine Energy…!" said Hydros.
"And can you produce it? I know that your Divine Core is gone, but I've heard that even without it, you gods still keep producing, but in a smaller quantity" I said.
"Let me see…" muttered Hydros as she closed her eye again, her soul, which was aquamarine with a phantasmal form emerged, the stream of Divine Energy was connected to her soul, and as she infused her thought into it, a thicker stream emerged from within her soul and flower towards her physical body.
"There… Yes, I can! Although it is only about 1 Divine Energy Crystal worth of Divine Energy per… day? Or perhaps every two days…" said Hydros.
Judging by how things such as a Living Deity Rank Divine Beast cost around ten Divine Energy Crystals, it was a later low profit per these two days. She might be able to conjure a few Divine Techniques before she is emptied out of it, and would have to use Mortal Skills or Spells by then.
Of course, through this new body of hers, that should be the best case and choice, and thanks to my God Devour support, she should be as threatening as any of my family members, if not a bit more due to the added Divine Energy she can make.
"What about your God Cultivation Rank level? Is it still there, it should be, right?" I asked.
"It… It is strange, it is as if it had disappeared, yet the effects of the rank I was currently in remain, alongside the production of Divine Energy… I now also have Levels, something that I never had before… Is this what mortals have, Kireina-sama?" asked Hydros, she was a mortal in the period where Genesis was still together as a planet, there was no system in that time, so she raised through the Mortal Ranks and Life Walls through Cultivation of the three primordial energies (Life Energy, Mana Energy, and Soul Energy). And because she became a god in that time, she never got to see the system features for mortals.
When the System just had appeared, according to Agatheina and the rest of the Gods in my Pantheon, it did not affect Gods until a later stage, when the System was absorbed by the World's Laws and became a pillar of existence as a whole in the new world of Genesis.
However, just as the gods had explained to me before, Gods, starting from the Living Deity Stage, do not level up nor benefit from Experience Points gained after defeating an enemy… But because Hydros said that she has Leveled, it means that she has gone back to being a mortal with various Divine Powers, such as myself.
She might have a hard time leveling up too, or not, I don't really know, maybe I am the only exception having a hard time leveling, but I've noticed that even after fighting many Gods Split Souls, some of my wives have not evolved yet, meaning that their experience required might be just as absurd as mine, or perhaps just a bit less… I fear that my own influence, blessings, and such, had made it harder for everyone to level up at the end…
"Indeed, those are Levels, you can gather experience points by pretty much slaying any monster. We got a Dungeon right here, I'm sure you're strong enough to be capable of steamrolling with almost anything on it, aside from a few bosses, where you might need some assistance,"
"This is… Amazing! If I level up, I can get more Stat Points, right? And also, Skill Points! I might be able to change Classes more commonly now!" said Hydros happily.
"And you might be able to evolve if you reach your max level… though you might end up evolving into a Living Deity," I said.
"Ah! Does that mean that I can get another divinity through that method?! Is this why the Gods want to acquire mortal vessels?!" asked Hydros.
"Perhaps… Mortal Vessels also come with the ability, too, well, to obviously let you be on the surface, having an upper hand against most of the other Gods in that regard" I said.
"I see! So wonderful! Kireina-sama, can we go level up? Let us go on a date~!" said Hydros with a cute smile, showing her sharp, shark-like teeth.
"Hmm, we have extracted most of what we needed from you, so… yeah, sure, I'll go with one of my Split Bodies," I said, splitting myself in half and going out with Hydros to the dungeon, while also remaining here with the rest of the crew through the other body I left here.
"Aren't this wonderful news, Kireina-sama?" asked Charlotte.
"Indeed, it has gone well, now we must improve upon it and perhaps generate a way for Gods to get bodies similar to Hydros… But I won't let them exchange bodies until I am sure that it won't fail nor will weaken them permanently…" I said.
"You might also be capable of teaching Hydros Divinity Devouring, don't you?" asked Redgaria.
"That's true… I might end up helping her in that regard. If I can manage that every god gets a pseudo mortal body, then all of them will become incredibly strong with the help of Divinity Devouring…" I said.
"Hm, there is a lot to work and investigate! Let us go to the workshop!" said Izumi, leading our way as we went to spend the rest of the day in the workshop. I spent it in three different areas at the same time through my body. With this one, I went with them to the workshop, with the one carrying my child I spent it with my family, and the other was with Hydros.
I used this opportunity to teach her a lot of things about the Mortals' System, and I even managed to catch a glimpse of her status, which seemed emptier than I had imagined, she needs to begin gathering more Skills.
Her Skill Levels were quite low, but this was because she had just begun leveling her Skills, although Gods have Skills though, it seems that she never had any time nor form of leveling them while being sealed for quite a long time.
Another thing to notice was her Mana Points and Magic Stats, which were over the top compared to the rest of her stats, most likely because these two stats are related with one's soul, and her soul was a Divine Soul, even if vastly weakened, giving her a vast pool of Mana and a strong Magic Stat from the get-go.
