Chapter 1357 Cap 1355: Divine Time Bomb
Suddenly someone was thrown from a crack in space falling on top of me, when I opened my eyes it was the newly Reborn Demon Goddess, fortunately with her appearance my sisters stopped beating me.
I was confused at first, but that confusion disappears when she puts her face close to mine and bites my cheek, tearing off a piece of flesh with great difficulty, even though it hurts a little, it's far from what I was feeling until now.
"Why are you here?"?(I)
----------------
It's been about 40 minutes since the daughter of Goddess Hernoth appeared, she said that she was punished for what her predecessor did and had her Divinity broken, now she is just a Demigod, and Goddess Hernoth left her with me for some reason.
During this time Natasha helped heal my body and we all returned to the city, I asked someone to show her the city while I dragged my sisters to the mansion.
I needed a reason for what they have been doing to me, they were not training me, each of their blows was focused on causing the greatest possible damage to my body and was always accompanied by weak waves of Divine power reaching my Soul.
I needed to know what was going on and I needed that answer now, so I dragged them to an empty room in the mansion.
"Now tell me, what do you want with all this?"?(I)
"I said I should have told him before."?(Natasha)
"We didn't have time, we never have time in this place, always running from one place to another."?(Elizabeth)
"You guys are wasting this precious time right now, so tell me why you're ravaging my body at every opportunity."?(I)
The two look at each other and Natasha motions for Elizabeth to speak, then she waves her hand forming an illusory figure of me in the air with 5 spheres rotating around my figure.
"Simply put, you were an idiot at first and now you've become a walking God bomb."?(Elizabeth)
"As always, I'm trying to help however I can and sometimes violence can be the answer."?(Elizabeth)
"Correcting, violence is always the answer, it just depends on whether the person is strong enough."?(Natasha)
"Natasha, we're talking about something serious here."?(Elizabeth)
"Alright, alright, go on with your speech, I'll stay quiet by that liquor cabinet."?(Natasha)
Natasha raises her hands in surrender before noticing something in the corner of the room and speaking as she walks towards it with a smile on her face, but now I had something else to worry about as I focused my vision on Elizabeth.
"Sorry, did you say Divine bomb?"?(I)
"Yes, if things continue like this..." (Elizabeth)
"Wait, wait, wait just a second!"?(I)
"Natasha, hand me a bottle."?(I)
"Here, this is the strongest one here."?(Natasha)
"Thanks."?(I)
I raised my hand for alcohol and Natasha tossed a bottle at me, so I drained half the bottle before looking back at Elizabeth.
"Did you say Divine bomb?"?(I)
"Yes, I know what I said and you heard correctly."?(Elizabeth)
"Why the hell!!"?(I)
I emptied the other half of the bottle in one go while cursing my poison resistance skills that don't let me get drunk.
"Keep going."?(I)
"This is your Soul, and these spheres are the 5 Essences that you possess."?(Elizabeth)
"You are still only a Demigod and as such can contain a maximum of 1 Essence, which will sink into the Soul as it merges until the Soul itself becomes the Essence making the Authority mix with the Sacred Power and q Essence that became the Soul, thus Divine Power is born."?(Elizabeth)
Elizabeth makes one of the colored spheres enter the small, semi-transparent figure, then the sphere slowly disintegrates, changing the color of the figure until it disappears, then a crown appears, probably representing the Authority, this crown shines inside the figure's chest while traces of energy are sucked out by the figure being in the middle of the crown.
The energy trails, the crown and the Soul glow as the energy trails begin to flow throughout the Soul changing its color as the crown melts into a flame that burns that energy as fuel illuminating the entire Soul from the inside out.
"Gods can have more than one Essence, because they interconnect 100% compatible Essences, but only the first Essence represents their Divinity."?(Elizabeth)
"Now, if a Demigod has 2 or more Essences it becomes dangerous, even considering that these Essences are fully compatible, they will occupy different spaces in the Soul while fusing with the Soul over time."?(Elizabeth)
"The risk for this is very great, and could result in the Soul splitting in two, releasing the full power of the two Essences as a wave of destruction while the Soul is being destroyed by being consumed by the Essences."(Elizabeth)
"The greater the number of Essences, the worse this explosion will be, and the more random the Essences are, the greater the rejection reaction will be between them."(Elizabeth)
With a movement of her hand, the figure returns to normal, and then she makes 3 spheres enter the figure painting it in 3 separate different colors, when the spheres completely disappear within the figure, the 3 colored parts separate leaving what should be a Soul into three and causing an illusory explosion of 3 colors that spreads across the entire room.
"If that's true, then why don't I feel anything when I have 5 complete Essences?"(I)
"Your Soul and the Essence of Chaos were already one, the Essence of Chaos within you is now something created later by the Divine Seal, your Soul and especially your Body were not powerful enough to withstand the Essence of Chaos."(Elizabeth)
"The different Seals on your Essences are also the reason you are still alive."(Elizabeth)
"Both your body and Soul are already strong enough to withstand 1 Essence and perhaps even 2, in the case of the Blood Transmutation Essence that you possess the greatest understanding of, you could directly transform into a Minor God."(Elizabeth)
"Then why not do that? Wouldn't it solve the problem?"(I)
"Impossible, as I said before, your Soul is already the Essence of Chaos itself, you need to reach Divinity with the Power of Chaos before releasing the other Essences from their seals."(Elizabeth)
"Why can't I do this with the Essence of Chaos?"(I)
"I'm a Demigod and my Soul is very strong, I know that better than anyone."(I)
"I don't know, the Power of Chaos is too strange and different, our Mother said you wouldn't be able to stand it as you are now, but she also said to continue doing what is already in progress."(Elizabeth)
"In other words, you get 2 more Essences and pray to every possible God that you don't explode in the hope that everything will work out in the end."(Natasha)
"Natasha!"(Elizabeth)
"She is right?"(I)
"Yes, but as your Divine Incarnation has already shown increasing in power with each Essence acquired, the chances are very positive."(Elizabeth)
"Has anyone ever managed to do anything close to this?"(I)
"No, and I don't think others could either."(Elizabeth)
"No one would be crazy enough to do anything close to that."(Natasha)
"If you exploded now, the entire Planet would disappear while the surrounding Star System would collapse due to the repercussions that the Essences would cause, all taking into account that other Gods would interfere to minimize the damage."(Natasha)
"Unfortunately she's right."(Elizabeth)
"..." (I)
I was amazed and also scared by it all, I hadn't realized the situation was so serious.
I knew that these Essences were putting me in danger, I could feel it in my lack of control of these Essences, also in the repercussions on both my Soul and my body until now.
But all of this made me think about the reason for the beating and also what that illusory core of Essences inside my Soul means.
"Wait, so what is this illusory core inside my Soul and why do you guys have to beat me up like this?"(I)
"Influenced by you, our Essences and Divine Power are increasing, so we realize that if you can influence us so deeply, then we can do the same to you."(Elizabeth)
"We use our Divine power to shape your Essences into the most harmonious lie possible, we can only do this for you."(Elizabeth)
"Breaking his body while using Divine Incarnation made his body adapt to the Essences continuously while our Divine Power was interfering with his Soul."(Elizabeth)
"As for this illusory Core, we don't know either, maybe our mother knows something, but she didn't share it with any of us."(Elizabeth)
"..." (I)
"(Why can't anything simple happen to me?)" (I)
I didn't know how to react to everything I learned, I didn't know whether to be angry because no one told me anything, whether to be scared by the possibility of blowing up half a Star System or whether to be frustrated by not being able to do anything beyond what I already was doing.
I just left that room lost in my thoughts, I needed to think and I couldn't care less about other people at the moment.
I didn't even realize where I was walking or how long I had been walking, but in the end, I was in the middle of the forest and I threw myself on the ground looking at the sky, as time passed the day turned to night and I was still standing still in the same place thinking.
I had many ideas like moving away from everyone I love, going to complain to the Gods, and banging my head against the wall while cursing myself that I started all this, I even thought about the idea of ??going back to Hell and asking Callidora for help.
In the end, I realized that none of these were good ideas and I decided to continue what I'm already doing, I'm just going to go with the flow and hope that everything works out, since unlike what I heard, all the Essences seem to be in harmony.
"Zenos, you are a real unlucky idiot..." (I)
