His size remained the same as before, but his appearance has clearly undergone a change. His whole body is covered in silver-white fur. His blue eyes are now purple, and his tail, which is longer than his height, draws attention. His face also gives off a somewhat ferocious impression.

“Power is overflowing in me. It’s like I’m not myself.”
He repeatedly clenched and opens his hands, appearing confused by the changes in himself. Suddenly, the hair on his entire body stood on an end like iron needles. Then it was back in its original fluffy state. He is now touching his body curiously.
“Looks like you’ve gotten stronger son.”
“Yes. But it still feels a little out of my control.”
“By the way, what is Abyss Gate?”
“About that….…”
Pero creates a black sphere in his right hand. A black, misshapen centipede-like creature emerged from it. Its appearance embodies malice.
“It’s a creature that feeds on negative emotions in the lower dimensions. It amplifies the anger and sadness of its target and eventually devours them. It seems that it can also attack directly if I give orders.”
Hoho-, that’s pretty interesting. To think that he could summon creatures from another dimension is pretty amazing.
“Uh-, I think it’s time for me to go get a drink. Excuse me Father, I’m really thirsty.”
Pero disappeared from the spot in an instant.
“Pero-sama!”
Freya is the next to wake up. For some reason, she shouted Pero’s name as she got up. I immediately checked her evolved form.
The four arms are now six. In addition, for some reason, both of her eyes were tightly closed. The armor she was supposed to be wearing has disappeared, and she is now stark naked. Her body was covered in intricate patterns, and just like Pero, her face and body exuded a sense of fierceness.
| Name: Freya Label Age: 18 years old Race: Evil Flame Red Demon God Occupation: Adventurer Magic Attributes: Fire, Evil Magic: – Skills: Eyes of Truth, Wormhole, Soul Interference, Atomic Energy |
“I evolved huh……”
Freya deftly moves her six arms to check her body. However, perhaps feeling that they are getting in the way, her arms turned into a pair.
“It turns into two!?”
“Hmm? Ah-, I thought about it this way in my mind, and this is what happened.”
Next, she created a black bikini on herself and then she wrapped a red cloth around her waist. Looking more closely, I can see that she even wears black heels on her feet.
“Armor doesn’t seem to make much sense when you’re a god. Besides, for me, this is easier to fight.”
As she said this, flames erupted from her entire body. The flames soon subsided, but strangely enough, her body and even the bikini did not seem to be burned. It seems that she created a highly heat-resistant material with divine energy.
“By the way, what is Atomic Energy?”
“Apparently, it can generate explosive energy by performing a nuclear fusion reaction inside my body. It also absorbs all heat-based attacks.”
“Hoh-, wait, there’s no radiation, is there?”
“It’s a skill, so there’s no radioactive waste…… well, I think so.”
For assurance, I created a radioactive measuring device and point it at Freya. The readings were quite normal.
“Muu-. Pero-sama already went to quench his thrist huh. I must hurry up and get a drink and casually have some fluffy!”
Freya walks out of the room. Even though she evolved, she is still the same.
Now it’s just Liz and Erna.
When I turned around as my clothes were being tugged, I saw Liz already standing behind me.
When did she……
I didn’t feel her presence at all.
| Name: Liz Schmidt Race: Dark God Age: 15 years old Magic Attributes: Water, Darkness, Evil Magic: – Skills: Eyes of Truth, Black Water, Soul Interference, Dark Matter |
Her look…… is not that different. If any, she only had a small horn on her forehead and her eyes turned silver. However, her presence is barely perceptible. She’s frighteningly silent and motionless.
As if breaking the silence, she answered before I asked her a question.
“Black water is an ability like a spatial teleportation, and dark matter is the enhanced version of dark cloud.”
“Hmm, how big is dark matter?”
“It’s enough to swallow ten planets.”
Uh-, I don’t think it’s at the level that can be called as the enhanced version though…….
Liz fell into the black water on the floor and disappeared. She must have gone to quench her thrist, just like Pero and the Freya.
“Ahn~, I slept well~”
Finally, Erna wakes up and stretches herself. When she stood up with a sleepy expression, in my field of view, I saw a figure that did not have a single piece of clothing.
“Ahem, get dressed first!”
“Eh?”
She then looked at her body with a dazed look. Then her eyes opened wide, and she screamed while crouching down to hide the beautiful scenery.
“P-Pervert! Lecher! How could you stare at it!”
“It was an accident. But I wonder why everyone’s clothes disappeared. I was still wearing mine even after I evolved.”
“Maybe it was because their clothes couldn’t withstand the new power.”
Before I knew it, Zefa was already in the room. He waved his wand and helped Erna get dressed.
“But mine didn’t disappear.”
“That’s because the artifact you’re wearing also protects your clothes. Have you ever thought that your clothes are unusually sturdy?”
Now that he mentioned it, that’s true. I don’t think it was ever broken even in the fierce war.
“Hmmm, I don’t think I really like this outfit.”
Erna seemed dissatisfied with her pink dress with plenty of lace.
I checked her out for the time being, but I don’t think that her appearance has changed. No, looking closely, her eyes are now rainbow-colored. Overall, she exuded a beautiful, divine, and a nonhuman presence.
“Ah right! Moore-sama’s robe….…”
Moore’s white robe instantly appeared in her right hand. She changed it with divine energy and remade it into a pure white robe that was as good as new. Lace is sewn on the edges of the sleeves and hood, and countless magic circles are embroidered on the lining like patterns. She wore a pretty thin shirt and a short skirt, and then she put on a robe over it. She also wears black knee-highs and leather boot heels.
“Yes, that is nice. Now that you can create anything, you don’t have to pay for clothes anymore.”
I can’t help but admire the slender figure. She is more beautiful than anything I’ve ever seen.
“So, how is my evolution? I’m so thirsty.”
“Hmm? Oh, my bad. I haven’t check it yet.”
| Name: Erna Frederia Age: 19 years old Race: Light Evil God Occupation: Adventurer Magic Attributes: Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Light, Darkness, Thunder, Evil Magic: – Skills: Eyes of Truth, Spatial Teleportation, Soul Interference, Gravity Manipulation, Singularity |
“Singularity…… What is it?”
“I don’t know. For some reason, I don’t have an explanation for this skill. I don’t feel like trying it because it feels dangerous.”
I turned to Zefa. He looked at Erna with furrowed brows.
“You should only use that skill when you are really in danger. If it’s what I know it, it’s a power that will draw the attention of those beings.”
“Who are those beings?”
“……They are the ones you shouldn’t know. If you’re interested, go to the sealed library in the innermost part of the heavenly realm. The hidden truth is written in there.”
He’s not going to reveal it here?
I’m quite curious, but for now, I should focus on the evolved Erna.
“Can you manipulate gravity with that skill?”
“Mmm, I think I could create a black hole if I am serious about it. However, it would take a lot of effort to make it disappear, so I don’t think I would actually go that far.”
Hmmm, this looks promising.
Even so, Erna doesn’t become a vampire. Eva mentioned something about inheriting powers.
Was I mistaken?
When I mention this to Zefa, he laughs and replies,
“Divinity crystal have an inherently set direction, such as speed specializations and physical specializations. Combined with their individual qualities, the user themselves determine who they look like as gods.”
“Then why didn’t Erna become a vampire?”
“Vampire is a race that I originally created. I just gave her godhood. Now you’ve got the idea, right?”
I understand now. Eva didn’t become a vampire after she became a god. In fact, I should have realized it earlier since Liz didn’t turn into a frog.
“Hey, I can go now, right? I’m so thirsty!”
She said that and teleported away from the spot. Perhaps she even went back to the surface to drink water.
“Now that you have subordinates as the God of Destruction, are you going to call them Demon King as well?”
“I’m sorry, but I’m going to change that. On this world, the term Demon King is already feared so much. Because of that, I’m going to have my comrades call themselves as the ‘Four Djinn.’”
“Four Djinn…… It sounds good.”
In an instant, the surrounding scenery changed, and it became a familiar one. I looked around, but Zefa picked up a bottle from the shelf with a familiar movement and returned to the sofa.
“Isn’t this our hideout?”
“What are you so surprised about? You can go anywhere you want now. You can even go in and out of the planet and the demon world at will.”
The ice clinked into the glass as he put them in and then he poured the sake. He held out one of it to me.
“Fuaah~. Thanks to being away from the world for a long time, this sake tastes so good.”
“You can taste alcohol? I haven’t gotten drunk since I evolved though?”
“Just lower your body’s resistance. You can enjoy as much poison as you want.”
Resistance …… Is this it?
A few numbers come to mind in my head. When I lowered the value of resistance, my body suddenly felt heavy.
“If you lower it too much, you’re going to get sick. Just do it about halfway.”
“Half? (Is this enough?)”
When I drink a glass of sake, I feel dizzy. In fact, I hadn’t been drunk properly since I was reincarnated. Maybe that’s why the sake get in my brain quickly.
“Can the gods regulate their senses?”
“That’s right. In that way, it’s always like a new experience. For those who have lived for a long time, boredom caused by familiarity is despair itself.”
“As expected, it’s hard to live for thousands or tens of thousands of years.”
Even a human being living for a hundred years is an enormous time. If I remain a human being, I will not be able to live for 10,000 years.
“But when you say goodbye, keep your resistance high. When you lose someone, whether it’s a god or a man, you will always walk on the line between sanity and insanity.”
Zefa looked nostalgic when he spotted a carved wooden bear made of the World Tree.
“I once had a cute pet, a race called Treant. I created this child as its ancestor. It always followed me around.”
“Treant……”
“I know it well. It lived on this planet for a long time. It put down its roots in this planet, waiting for the day when it will see me again, even if it had become an enemy sacred beast.”
“……Why don’t you bring it back to life?”
“It departed this world satisfied in its own way. Don’t you think it would be imprudent and insulting to bring it back? Besides, it remained here in a different form.”
He stroked the carved wooden bear and smiled. He is feared as the God of Destruction, but from my perspective, he seems to be the complete opposite. I wonder what the gods were looking at during that time.
“You’ve come all the way back here, I might as well make you some snacks.”
“I’m looking forward to it.”
I stood in the kitchen and began to boil some edamame.
