nAfter evolving, I was showered with many System Windows.

nDing!

nThe Chant Revocation; Level 10 Skill has awakened into the Chant Nullification: - Skill!

nThe Space Expansion; Level 10 Skill has awakened into the Dimensional Expansion: Level 1 Skill!

nThe Comfort Maintenance; Level 10 Skill has awakened into the Comfortable Interior: Level 1 Skill!

nOoh?! Aren't those new Skills super amazing-sounding or is that just my idea?

nAlternate Dimensional Travel? Really?!

nAnd then Breaker of Boundaries?!

nI don't even know what that does!

nAnd the other old skills awakened as well! Now, I don't even need to chant anymore (I wasn't doing it anyway), and I don't get the Mana penalty I would get by not chanting as well.

nDimensional Expansion suddenly made my internal space inside my soul even bigger, just as it says, like an alternate dimension! That's insane.

nAnd then Comfortable Interior made everything even more comfortable, I guess?

nThough there is still the problem of fixing the darkness everywhere else, it's hard to create a truly colorful world all around, the artificial sun and clouds can get you so far…

nWell, I have heard from Kireina that her main body turned into a true Goddess and that she acquired something named

"Divine Realm

", which is actually just like a real-world, with a continent and everything… clouds, and more.

nShe said that every God in Genesis has a Divine Realm.

nFrom what I know, Gods in here also can generate their own Divine Realms, but instead of being like real worlds, they are more like illusory spaces, although maybe strong enough Gods can generate more real landscapes, I would assume that they can't make things completely solid and

"real

"…

nI suppose that Gods are fairly different here than in Genesis, especially seeing how Genesis Gods are more like Immortal Cultivators from a Chinese Xianxia novel…

nHere it is rather different, only the ancient Gods are the

"true

" Gods, while everyone else got to

"godhood

" through different methods.

nHumans and Demi-humans became Gods by leaving their physical bodies away and fusing their souls with a fragment of a

"true

" God's soul, becoming Familiar Spirits or Heroic Spirits.

nAfter they accumulate enough power, often through worship, their souls can evolve until acquiring a density similar to true Gods.

nOr that's what I have heard.

nBut then there's the Elder Dragon, Titans, Beast Kings, and Demon Gods, they are different in this regard, I would guess.

nMost Elder Dragon, Titans, and Beast Kings are the offspring of their parents, which are some of the

"true

" Gods who have physical bodies, only some of these Gods have completely ethereal bodies, such as Bestellen, as there are other Gods who have large physical bodies resembling animals… such as Vedon and Lamus.

nA differentiation between Bright Gods and Dark Gods is that the Dark Gods, most of them, have physical bodies. The God of Sins and Darkness is actually a Titan, and the father of many Titans too.

nThere is also a Dark God who resembles a Dragon… But I don't remember who it was.

nAnyways, these offspring are born with super powerful god-like strength and some divinity of sorts, and they develop it as they grow older, it seems.

nAfter these groups of guys, there's the Demon Gods, and these can vary from all these methods, or be monsters that Ranked Up so much they got as strong as Demigods, and their souls evolved to gain power from worship.

nThere's something called Existence Ranks, perhaps after reaching a certain threshold of soul density and power, you can kind of develop powers that mortals can't, like power from worship and so on.

nIn this regard, we already reached this threshold with Ervas, and we could be considered Demigods, I guess.

nI would guess that quite the weak demigods though… Although after this fight, and evolving, I surely feel way stronger than before.

nThe Necromancer, which we later learned to be a part of the leftover consciousness of the Demon God-King deposited inside the fragments he had known about other methods, which he was trying to achieve through his strange experiments, I guess he was trying to cheat the

"classic mode

" of doing it.

nAnyways, it would be nice to check these new Skills and what they can do for me…

n…

nHecate: Level 1

nA Skill that represents that you possess part of the power of Hecate, the Goddess of Boundaries, Witchcraft, Ghosts, and more.

nThis Skill enhances all of your Magic capabilities, your ability to cross boundaries, and the power of all your Ghosts (and Undead-type Monsters!).

nThe more the Skill levels up, the greater the enhancements become.

n…

nAlternate-Dimension Travel: Level 1

nA Skill that only those capable of crossing the boundaries of space and enter alternate dimensions can use.

nThis Skill lets the user travel through an alternate space to reach another space, unlike Teleportation-based Skills, the user must move through space to reach the place instead of being instantly moved there, but the user is also capable of reaching anywhere through this method unlike Teleportation-based methods, where you must have visited such places to teleport there.

n…

nBreaker of Boundaries: Level 1

nA Skill that only those capable of defying space and time and break the boundaries that separate different spaces can acquire.

nWith this Skill, you acquire the ability to break through the boundaries of planes, worlds, and dimensions, giving you the ability to comprehend the fabric of reality and acquire the capacity of breaking through its boundaries.

n…

nI see…

nWait.

nIsn't this like… super overpowered or something? Is this okay, System?

nReally? Do I deserve this?

nThe System quickly answers me with its lady-like voice.

n

"This is a power unlocked by your very soul, I didn't simply gift it to you, I am not a Skill-making machine…

"

nOh…
