NOVPUBI was weak, exhausted and immersed in endless pain, everything in me was changing even now, my Soul was undergoing the greatest and most painful of changes to the point that I didn’t fully understand what was happening.
When I was being dragged somewhere beyond the portal to the Dimensional Dragon, I heard screams and many people talking, but my mind was not in a state to comprehend the words, even my recent discovery of my will as something real was not exempt from the change I was now undergoing, everything I am was in flux on the threshold of a transformation I could not control.
My conscience works more on instinct than on rational thought, that’s how I let myself be dragged once again and when I entered a comfortable place that I recognized as the Dungeon.
I didn’t have much sense of time when I was taken to another place, I felt myself being carried to a place where I felt a reaction in my Essences and Will, a place full of Sacred Power and Divine Power permeating everything.
As soon as I entered this place I felt other Wills attaching themselves to mine and my body felt light while 3 flows of Divine Power surrounded me.
"(You can’t join us yet, don’t forget your Familiar.)" (Goddess Selene)
"(You also need your last Herald.)" (Goddess Mavis)
"(Your Divine Ascension will be a little different and will force your sisters to become Goddesses too, it cannot be rushed.)" (Goddess Kalistos)
"< Divine Seal >" (Goddesses)
I listened to the voices in my head and in my Soul, unlike the voices I heard until now, I managed to understand what they said, that was when a feeling of relief took over my entire body.
I felt 3 powers circulate my Soul and suppress the power of the Essences, so the changes were not interrupted, but were happening slowly, very slowly.
With this I managed to stabilize my body and mind, regaining my consciousness completely, I still felt the pain, but now they were stabs of that pain instead of the continuous pain from before.
When I opened my eyes I was floating in the pool of blood completely as I came into the world, around me I felt the Divine powers of Life, Death and Blood.
"Master!!" (all)
"..." (I)
When I heard voices I was already going down and stepping into the lake of blood to stand on its surface, so I looked around, all my Familiars were missing with the exception of Hinata and Nix, but my Heralds were present, my children were nowhere to be found, but my Saints and Divine Servants were here.
"What happened?" (I)
"..." (All)
"I think I’d better show you." (Hades)
Everyone looked around in a confused way, it seems that many things happened, I could see that many were injured and I could not see my sisters anywhere, Hades in particular was physically well, but I felt that his Soul was very weakened, even his body he was shaking slightly.
He approached me with some effort and I reached out my hand to him, when our hands touched, a stream of memories passed from him to me.
With my mineral strength now, separating and understanding these memories was much faster than telling me speaking normally, I also understood the reason why Hades was the one who took the lead, in seconds I had understood everything.
"Were there anyone seriously injured?" (I)
"Many, but none of them are life-threatening." (Alice)
"Come closer." (I)
Just like I did with Hades, I reached out my hand to Alice and as soon as she touched it a stream of various consciousnesses came to me, I wasted no time and raised my other hand.
"< Familiar Summon: Layla >" (I)
"< Familiar Summon: Ragnar >" (I)
"< Familiar Summon: Orion >" (I)
"< Familiar Summon: Sakura >" (I)
Soon 3 magic circles filled with Spiritual Runes appear around me pulling Holy Power from the pool of Blood, then my 4 Familiars appeared.
"You idiotic, stupid, slow and disgraceful master!!!!" (Layla)
"How could you let me die!? Where were you!? Why didn’t you take me with you!? Why did you..." (Layla)
"Alright, let’s stop here, we don’t have time for this, you idiot." (Sakura)
"Master, how are you?" (Orion)
"Master..." (Ragnar)
"I’m... fine..." (I)
I wasn’t exactly well, but I could feel that the process was still progressing, but now, instead of taking seconds, it will take days.
"(I haven’t finished my preparations...)" (I)
----------------
It took me a few hours to explain everything to everyone, then tell them what everyone should do, there were still people from the Dungeon who hadn’t woken up and there were things for me to do.
I wanted to see my wives, but I couldn’t do that, they seem to be going through something similar, Vanessa told me that Diana had already become a Demigod and Ibuki was in the process of transformation, it seems that Erica had already found her path and soon became would transform into a Demigod while Kira was preparing to hunt for a Divinity Fragment that she will need as a starting point.
---------------
I was now alone inside the Communal Temple, I have many things to do, but I cannot continue without seeing the notifications that I have been leaving aside.
I need to know where I am to know where I’m going and with that kind of thinking I started paying attention to notifications.
Ding!
<[ You consumed Erkales (Anomaly Dragon) and completely absorbed his [ Anomaly Core ] with the aspects of [ Natural Law (Altered) ] ]>

.
<[ Your Essences are temporarily dormant due to extreme physical, mental and Soul exhaustion ]>
.
.
.
<[ Your [ Anomalous Chaos Essence (Partially Sealed) ] is in the process of refining [ Anomalous Core ] ]>
So far nothing has been a surprise, I pushed myself more than to the limit in my fights, I pushed my body and soul beyond what I could go more than once.
I don’t know much about this Anomalous Core, but it must be the 4-pointed star, I don’t understand these terms or what they mean, but at least it seems to be in my control, it doesn’t seem to be harmful if it keeps me in line since I remember the system notification warning.
Now comes the part about the 3 Essences I ate and whatever Tarzor did to me.
Ding!

<[ Have you been affected by 3 Divine Souls that were taken by ’Callidora?’ (■□●□○■□○■) ]>
I was overwhelmed by what I was seeing, there were a lot of things I wanted to talk about and a lot to think about, but I didn’t have time for that, even now the changes are still ongoing causing me stabs of pain that make everything in me shake.
But at least I know what Tarzor did, he granted me an Essence and forced the 4 Essences to merge into one before being refined again, but I don’t know what he gets out of it.
There doesn’t seem to be any kind of influence on this Essence, so he needs me to have this Essence to do something for him and this reminds me of what he made me learn, if before I had a basic notion of what he wanted, now I have almost completely sure of what he wants.
What Callidora turns doesn’t matter, but I could see that she influenced the system to show her name which seemed strange there.
"Now for the last part." (I)
Ding!
<[ You are going through the Divine Ascension process ]>
.
.
.
<[ Enter a Hallowed Land in your name to begin the process ]>
This was what strength appeared to me before, but a few more things came later when I heard the voice of the 3 Goddesses.
Ding!
<[ You were interfered by Selene (Goddess of Blood) ]>
.
.
<[ You were interfered by Mavis (Goddess of Life) ]>
.
.
<[ You were interfered by Kalistos (Demonic Goddess of Death) ]>
.
.
.
<[ The Divine Ascension process has been Partially extended and stabilized ]>
So I was right.
"(Now only the last preparation remains.)" (I)
---------------
I was on the floor of the Dungeon Star Palace, Elizabeth was with me as was Hinata, I was about to perform Hinata’s Divine Awakening and this seemed like the most suitable place.
