Hmm… day two hundred and sixty. One hundred and a bit more days, and I would be able to finally reach one year of age… Though I feel like it has been an eternity since then, Genesis is slowly warping my sense of time.


Another thing is my crazy dreams, such as those where I felt as if I had spent hundreds of years, due to that, my mind feels old despite not having been much time in the real world. However, I remember every year in those dreams, in the lives I had there, yet, whenever I came here, I was capable of remembering everything again. But I often felt as if I was slowly losing my own mind and former self in those dreams.


I often ask myself "what am I?" "who am I?"… but in the end, the only thing I need to do to find that I am myself is glancing at my beautiful family. They are the only thing that keeps me sane after all… although many would consider me insane.


Anyways, in the world of Genesis, you really have to be active if you don"t want to get eaten alive, just like the relaxed Kingdom of Athetosea was by my hands… The other Kingdoms that are on my radar are the Azuma Empire and the Thanatos Kingdom. However, there are many smaller nations around and in between these two big ones, such as the Kingdom of Abyss Cyclops led by the Sin of Pride to the south of the border continent, or the Kingdom of Dwarves to the mountains, and of course, the Elves that are to the south of the Azuma Empire… And well, there are many other smaller nations, which might be or not protected by one or a few more G.o.ds.


In this world, if your Nation is not looked over by some G.o.d, you might as well forget about your dreams of getting somewhere, even the Athetosea Kingdom was being watched over by several G.o.ds, such as the Zeus Family and another not so related to them, such as the G.o.d of Storm and Winds.


But now that they had lost their Kingdom a few months ago, the Zeus family had finally decided to take on Azuma Empire, which was rather not so overlooked by G.o.ds other than a few ones that blessed the Champions there, and because, according to Agatheina"s intel, the G.o.ds that were "taking care" of Azuma had lower positions than the Zeus family within the Pantheon of the Central Continent, they managed to force them to cooperate with them.


And of course, due to one of my dream travels, I rescued Palikoi or Blaze as I like to call her, and it seems that Hephaestus had decided to leave his father and siblings behind to plot something against me through the mysterious interactions he had with the sealed G.o.d at the Dark Steppes.


Ah well, the Dark Steppes could be considered to be something similar to a Nation but made up of many smaller tribes and villages in a certain area, but because there are so many G.o.ds there taking care of the mortals, it is a Nation in my eyes.


After having finished my trip and conquest in the Dungeon of Nyzzet, I began to think a lot and to recap in my mind most of the events I had gone through and the enemies I have to keep a check on. And I am rather frustrated in how Zudig, Begudhur, and Kheseerad escaped and I was not capable of getting rid of them in the spot… without them in the list of enemies, it would have been certainly easier, at least by a bit.


I know that they are weakened now, but they had crazy powers similar to mine, so they will sooner or later develop them more and probably come back even stronger. I am sure they might be planning something like a.s.saulting some random lone G.o.ds to eat them and gain strength through their divinity devouring.


Though I am not sure that they would be capable of a.s.similating the knowledge of the divinities of the G.o.ds they eat, that is something that was developed within me from more skills than simply divinity devouring, such as Uroboros (formerly Devour) and many others.


I am not sure what these guys could do, they are too weak so for now, at least in this month, they might not show up at all. But I remember the affixation that Zudig had with me, he even had some kind of obsession with stealing my "fortuitous encounters"… what does he even mean with that? U am simply trying to live my life, those are not fortuitous encounters, they are annoyances!


However, I am well aware that through undergoing them, I grow stronger… perhaps he wants to "steal" these events from me. And perhaps, he might stick closer to me than I would imagine. But that is good, if he is close by, I might be able to take another bite on him.


I do not think they might show up in the Dark Steppes whenever I go there… but who knows how fast could these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds develop? For now, I must keep constantly improving myself and my entire Empire.


However, just yesterday we had a lot of things that we did, so today it will be mostly a relaxing day where I will create Hydros" body, which it desires a lot.


Hydros wants to acquire a female physical body, so perhaps I should treat it as a "she"… Maybe that would make it happier? Well, it is not like I seek its happiness, but it is an ally that helped after all.


Without Hydros, I would not have been able to tell such an obvious weakness in Kheseerad, and without being able to know, I would not have been able to devour half of him at the very least…


I cannot imagine how it would have been in that regard, but perhaps Kheseerad might have found another way to escape, or Zudig and Begudhur might have been able to eat him entirely without leaving anything to me, and that would be quite frustrating, way more than them managing to escape from my grasp. At the very least, in the present situation, I managed to bite them well.


Perhaps in that event, I would have just eaten Hydros, gotten its water attribute divinity, and… that would have been it, maybe… But now, Hydros had become part of the G.o.d"s Pantheon and is using this opportunity to ask me for a new physical body, though I do not know how I could help her in developing her G.o.d cultivation.


However, I have heard that G.o.ds such as Megusan were planning in raising to G.o.dhood again after getting a mortal vessel, so it could be possible for her to do the same later on. She might become something similar to me, a mortal with the soul of a G.o.d, which might allow her to reset back into the System.


Well, these things are rather interesting and important to know, so the experiments that I will do will serve very well in this investigation in detail. I wonder what kind of G.o.d would have Megusan become if he had raised to G.o.dhood again with the vessels, he had… he might have been even capable of becoming many G.o.ds at the same time… but perhaps not many G.o.ds would be willing to do that if they have to sacrifice their physical bodies, which seem to give me a large amount of power, as well as their divine cores.


Perhaps Geggoron was not capable of getting up to that point like Megusan because he never gave up on such things… and perhaps because his "physical body" was gaseous, so he was capable of dividing even his physical body for the possessing of mortals.


Geggoron seemed to have another mindset than Megusan, seeking power through other means, as he had not lost completely everything as Megusan did.


If Nirah ever raises to G.o.dhood again, would she get a similar divinity as her original self in Megusan, or get something new of her own? She inherited Megusan"s Poison Attribute, so I think it might be similar in that regard, unlike other of Megusan"s vessels, such as that Sphynx Queen that had Light and Holy Attribute Magic… would he had become a G.o.d of Light then? That seems ironic.


Anyways, I should stop thinking weirder possibilities amongst what had happened recently in these past months. Although it feels like more than a year has gone by when I remember all the events because important events happen one after another constantly… this is perhaps due to my fate manipulating bringing disasters to me very often.


It was around noon as I was finis.h.i.+ng breakfast with my family when I called upon Hydros, many of the G.o.ds had also gathered many items that I requested from them.


First of all, Kaggoth happily donated many divine beasts" corpses, body parts, and even various of their souls sealed inside a flask. All of such items were considered DemiG.o.d-Rank Divine Materials, which would cost around fifty Divine Energy Crystals if they were all sold as one package. However, she gifted it all to me happily and even offered me more, but I refused as I didn"t want to take all of her riches. I only needed what was necessary for Hydro"s new body.


By the way, she also gave me pieces of her exoskeleton, and even some raw flesh from her claws, which had already grown back, with pieces of the physical body of a demiG.o.ddess of the Water Attribute, the vessel for Hydros should be compatible enough with her Divine Soul that was also completely coated in the Water Attribute, to the point that the soul itself resembled a ma.s.s of crystalline water… some even saw some resemblance to slimes in her appearance as a divine soul.


The other G.o.ds did not have much of anything compatible with Hydros… Water Attribute G.o.ds were rare in my Pantheon, I guess. Though, now that Hydros was getting a new body, it should be possible for things to be rewritten more and grant her new abilities that she did not have as a G.o.d… that might be able to develop whenever she rises again as one.


In the end, most of the G.o.ds gave in some of their blood, or body parts. The Dragon (Wyverns) such as Merveim, Hodhyl, and Nyzzet, apart from a small amount of their blood (1 liter each), also gave in some of their scales and horns. Meanwhile, Agatheina gave me like five liters of her blood and told me to ask for more if she wanted… The beast G.o.ds were just as cooperative too.


I am rather excited now, creating a new physical body with so many parts of different G.o.ds will be quite exciting. Hydros began to seem a bit worried now, as she had considered becoming a chimera as "fine", but after seeing the number of things waiting to become her physical body… she was rather fl.u.s.tered.


"Ahhh… K-Kireina-sama, isn"t this a bit too much…?" asked Hydros.


"Don" you want to get stronger? Also, you said that you did not care about becoming a chimera-like being, right?" I asked.


"Ah… Well, I suppose, let us see what can happen then… my life is in your hands, Kireina-sama…" said Hydros. Her voice was still quite manly, like a flashy guy, but perhaps whenever she gets a physical body, she can sue that body to speak like a woman? Well, I do not really care at this point, I am interested in the experiment more than anything.


Hydros had descended just after all the items arrived at my Item Box through the G.o.ds "oracle", which is a way for them to send gifts to their champions or blessed heroes. Due to my connecting with Agatheina through our blessing, she was given all the items and then sent them directly into my Item Box, quite convenient, isn"t it?


Oh right, Hydros can be comfortable on the surface without having to spend too much Divine Energy to maintain its existence due to how weakened she is. Her physical body is gone, and her divine core is also gone, her soul is also fatigued and weakened, much like Megusan, she can handle simply fine being on the surface.


I am guessing that there must be some threshold of strength that a divine being can achieve before having to spend large amounts of divine energy to maintain its existence on the surface… As I remember, Living Deities can also be on the surface without much trouble. I suppose the annoying part begins whenever they become DemiG.o.ds and onward.


I was currently in a vast hall filled with magic circles, this was the "ritual hall", where I did the evolution ritual to my wives some time ago… I was not alone, of course, as the scientists were with me, such as Redgaria, Charlotte, Izumi (the former Heroine of Alchemy from the Azuma Empire), and there was Herbell too.


Kusuri and Kajiya seemed too frightened about meeting a G.o.d in person, so they didn"t join… ah, there was Kiroid in the team too.


"This is… glorious! We can now see how a G.o.d can become a mortal again! Will it be able to change its divinity, how about its original powers? Nirah is not enough for the experiments, but a fully-fledged G.o.d such as Hydros might be!" said Redgaria with a fascinated expression.


"Master Redgaria… your face is a bit disturbing…" said Herbell.


"He"s just excited, Herbell-san, let the crazy old man be, I am as well!" said Izumi.


"Who are you calling crazy old man?! …Well, I am," said Redgaria.


"See?" chuckled Izumi.


Charlotte was at her side, but she seemed particularly serious.


"Be more serious, Izumi. This is especially important research we are doing just now…" said Charlotte as her eyes gleamed eerily, scaring Hydros, a G.o.d.


Hydros glanced at the people with me with a bit of embarra.s.sment, she seemed to have expected us to be alone into this…


"Well, we"ll begin now, Hydros, so stand in the middle of the big circle, please…" I said.


"V-Very well, Kireina-sama…" said Hydros with a shy tone of voice.
