NOVPUBPov Kira:
I was standing there watching as the darkness surrounding the valley gradually disappeared, at the rate it was happening in a few hours she’ll be out.
"She’s being faster than Diana." (Byakko)
"Diana already had a clearer understanding of what a Goddess was, she was also being supported by her God more than we were using Zenos’ power." (me)
"Besides, Erica was even faster, she became a Demon Goddess so fast that I started to doubt her moral compass." (me)
"She never had one in the first place, the only reason that witch isn’t a danger to the rest of the universe is because she has you guys and Zenos." (Byakko)
"Don’t talk about her like that, you’ll need her for the Ritual too." (me)
"Don’t remind me of that..." (Byakko)
"Now all that’s left is me, but for that I need you to go through the ascension with me." (me)
"As soon as Erica finishes the preparations it will be our turn, so remember to thank her." (me)
"In your dreams, I would rather lick a Wolf’s paws than thank that witch!" (Byakko)
"She stole my heart! Literally! I shouldn’t even have a heart in the first place!" (Byakko)
"How did she do that!?" (Byakko)
"She was just testing her new Curse after achieving Divinity, she gave the heart back, didn’t she?" (me)
"That was too scary and she’s been doing that for years, always using me to test her curses on creatures without real physical bodies." (Byakko)
"She had to test it on someone and she certainly wouldn’t do that with Zenos’ Familiars, she also couldn’t do that with Fairies and weaker Spirits, they could really die." (me)
"Then let’s just forget about it..." (me)
"..." (me)
"..." (Byakko)
Suddenly all the darkness that was dispersing began to burn in black flames, somehow it was possible to see even darker contours within the black flames as if it were a portal where only darkness existed, these strange flames intensified forming a column that crossed the sky out of the planet as if searching for the darkness of space.
"This is going to be a problem..." (me)
"How long until they find us?" (Byakko)
"A few seconds if we’re lucky... they’ve already arrived!" (me)
"Damn it!!" (Byakko)

Pov Zenos:
I was on my Star Path, I was looking at Tarzor who was still sleeping, every time he breathed it was as if the Star Path itself was breathing.
It’s been a few hours since he woke up, his Dragon form was surprising, even my Saints avoid looking at him too much saying they get dizzy with the vertigo represented in his appearance.
During this time I calmed down and started reading the notifications again as well as reading the ones I hadn’t seen before, no matter what I went through with all this, I needed to understand everything before anything else.
The notifications that I hadn’t seen were about the integration of other Gods besides Tarzor, as Gods of his Universe, these Gods were exactly my Wives and my Daughters.
Daughters:
Aurora (Goddess), Ynes (Demonic Goddess), Adella (Unholy Goddess) n𝚘𝚟pub.𝚌o𝚖
Wives:
Erica (Demonic Goddess), Diana (Goddess), Ibuki (Unholy Goddess), Freya (Primordial Goddess)
This is basically the information that I discovered, my wives became Goddesses, but finding out that Freya became a Primordial Goddess just like me was a surprise.
I still didn’t know what a Primordial God was, I had some suspicions, but I put that aside to understand things in parts, trying to understand everything at once was the way to get lost.
I started to think in parts, first understanding that my Wives were already becoming Goddesses, this was something I had already expected, it became obvious at a certain point that they were seeking it and it seems that only Kira is missing now.
My 3 daughters were already Goddesses to begin with, but Adella was a Goddess in her old Universe that no longer exists, in our universe she was just a Divine Beast, her becoming a Goddess again was something I did not expect.
About Freya and I becoming Primordial Gods I could only assume that it was about the creation of the universe that Tarzor became, the tree that was growing inside Tarzor was connected to Freya, but I did not know if it was Freya herself or just connected to her like the World Trees with their Elf Kings.
This was something I should ask others, what surprised me was something else, there were notifications about the integration of Divine Realms into the Stellar Path, I also had my assumptions about this from what I read in the notifications, but I would need to understand this better.
I was looking around, I could feel that something had changed in the Star Path, there was more depth and it wasn’t just my will that made up the whole place, there were also more branching paths both going to the Star Path and leaving it to enter other paths.
I could feel aspects that I didn’t understand, but that complemented everything else in my Star Path easily, these aspects contain the will of my wives and three of them of my daughters.
But I felt a really scary aspect trying to intrude, almost ignoring the resistance of all the other Wills, but being stopped by me.
I already knew what aspect it was, there are very few things that can really scare me at this level, just as I was thinking, she appeared accompanied by one of my daughters as always.
"Are you still on my mind?" (me)
"No, but I felt your attention directed to Niryna and I knew it was time." (Callidora)
"I don’t want to beat around the bush this time, you want something from me, so I want a full explanation on the matter before making a decision." (me)
"I already imagined that, if it depended only on me, your resistance would be useless, but Niryna will not go against you." (Callidora)
"The decision depends only on me and him, I will not interfere if he does not accept and I am not sure if all this is right to begin with." (Niryna)
"You need to be more authoritarian, look at Zenos, you think he got where he is naturally, he stole, killed and destroyed everything in his path in a spectacular way." (Callidora)
"Please, don’t say it like that, it makes it seem like I am someone evil, I have never hurt innocent people and I have never gone after those who have done nothing wrong." (me)
"Keep thinking like that, but it does not change the fact that you are cruel and ruthless, so do not pretend to be a Hero of Peace, it makes me sick." (Callidora)
"..." (me)
"I think we’re off topic here..." (Niryna)
"It’s his fault, but I’ll let it go this time. Ask him what you need once and for all. In the end, I know the answer will still be yes." (Callidora)
"(I really don’t like her...)" (me)
I accepted with a grain of salt and part of the space crystallized into a small marble garden with crystals. A table with 3 chairs arranged around it for us to sit, but Callidora just lay down on her side on the table, ignoring the chair while Niryna and I sat down.
"What is a Primordial God?" (me)
"Gods who created Universes are kind of rare since it’s a difficult feat." (Callidora)
"A Primordial God naturally contains the power of Reality around him and can enter any universe, his Essences belonging only to him, his Divinity being part of creation itself, and his Will being eternal as long as his universe exists." (Callidora)
The power of reality as far as I understand has few practical uses, but its most standard use would be to move between universes, in fact that seems to be the only use I can understand.
"You said before that I fell into a trap, does that mean the system wanted me to become a Primordial God?" (me)
Ding!
<[ The System partially confirms your question ]>
.
.
<[ The System warns the Anomalous Entity that insists on being called ’Callidora’ not to reveal anything about such a matter resulting in undue interference ]>
"..." (me)
"Hahaha... I knew you would show up, you can’t blame me for not responding, I don’t want to get on his bad side, it would be troublesome." (Callidora)
I didn’t expect the system to act, but that alone was confirmation that I was manipulated and Callidora knew it from the beginning, the foresight and plans of these eternal entities should not be underestimated, I’m not sure how long I’ve been manipulated like this.
"Before you ask, your wife over there knew too, she’s been preparing for a while, that’s the most I’ll say." (Callidora)
"..." (me)
She points to Tarzor’s head where it was possible to see most of the great Tree that exists inside it still spreading throughout his body.
Does this mean that Freya knew something from the beginning, that’s why she entered that tree state?
Is that why I received the Universal Seed?
Is that why she entered the Universal Seed?
"(I feel like I’m being prepared for something, but I don’t know what.)" (me)
"I’m being prepared..." (me)
Ding!
<[ The System says you don’t need to know for now ]>
.
.
<[ The System doesn’t want to interfere more than necessary ]>
"Don’t ask too much, he’s a bit extreme, besides, he’s not doing anything to you, if it weren’t for him interfering to a certain extent and me getting involved sometimes, you’d be dead a few times over." (Callidora)
"If you want to kneel in gratitude by licking my feet, give it up, I’d rather receive my gratitude in food, preferably alcohol for Niryna to drink." (Callidora)
"..." (me)
"I’m sorry, she’s taken a bit of an obsessive liking to alcohol, she’s forcing me to make a collection and even study about alcohol production." (Niryna)
"I’ve seen it in several universes, a great number of lives have been destroyed by it, a drink that can be made in infinite ways, that frees its consumers from all restrictions, corrupts emotions and still has so many flavors... I’ve missed a lot by not drinking such a delicacy until today." (Callidora)
"(How did she deviate from the subject of alcohol when we’re talking about aspects of universe creation!?)" (me)
