Chapter 1123: Divine Realms
—–“Errr, is this okay, am I not going to get chomped by this giant dragon plant thing?” Miranda asked worriedly, as she began to uproot the thing.
“Nah… Well, maybe.” I wondered.
“GROAR! GRAAR!”
The plant roared angrily, trying to chomp down Miranda, just as she feared.
“Uwaaah!”
“{Permafrost}”
FLAAASH!
The plant was quickly frozen solid.
“See? It’s alright now, calm down.” I sighed, giving her a head pat.
“Geez… Ah, I have yet to get used to you calling me like that.” Miranda blushed a bit.
It’s been two weeks now since Miranda embraced me in bed by herself. Since then we’ve entered into a relationship as well. Honestly speaking I wouldn’t let any other girl get to me, but Miranda was unique, and it felt like I was hurting Benladann as well by not embracing her.
Ultimately, some things led to others and well, here we are. She’s shy over acting lovey-dovey though, which only makes her cuter. I’ve been wondering for a while if she could get pregnant though, but we’ll have to see about it in the future. Seeing how she’s a Divine Spirit, I don’t really have a clue. But we’ve done it a few times by now, so maybe in the future.
A third child is the best thing that could happen, and I am rather looking forward to it… But I better not rush things for now, nor think of things that might not really happen any time soon either.
More importantly, the divine materials! Benladann and my daughters had a blast harvesting them. I even called Skadi, Uller, Fuyu, and the rest of my friends. We made a mini “Harvest Contest” of sorts, while the Frost Queen and the Fox Venerable explained to everyone what Divine Materials were as well.
“Divine Materials are the concentration of Divine Power into the Divine Realms… Sometimes also in the outside world too. They emerge and pop out of the ground naturally, sometimes, they even mutate and become divine monsters. This world used to be covered by way more divine materials.” Frost Queen said.
“However, as the Ages went by, each Venerable emptied the land of them more and more, until it became quite barren of them… even then, as gods die, their divine realms merge with the continents, and new “Divine Gardens” as we call them emerge. Sometimes even for the high concentration of Miasma and Dungeons, such as the Deep-Sea Abyss within Heaven Port’s seas. That could be said to be a Divine Area as well.”
“Oooh, so that’s why there were divine monsters there!” Yuki said while wondering. “They gave pretty nice divine power once we ate their meat and processed their materials into concoctions. I grew pretty strong.”
“Yeah, Divine Monsters can’t be as common as back then.” Pekora analyzed. “I suppose this explanation is better.”
“More importantly, have any of you developed Divine Realms yet?” The Fox Venerable asked. “Usually they either develop within your soul, or a place you can call your “home”, yet I don’t see any of you talking about them.”
“Oh, yeah… most of us got our Divine Realms inside our souls for some reason.” Said Pekora.
“Is it a weird phenomenon?” Wondered Tisha.
“I also got mine inside my Soul…” Benladra said.
And my two daughters as well.
“Ah, that must be because all of you attained divinity unnaturally… If that happens, you usually get your divine realms as bubbles inside your souls. Some say this method is the actual true one.” The Frost Queen explained. “Those that ascend “normally” get to fight a tribulation. You can guess why there’s less than a hundred gods around the world, right? At least those that are former mortal races and not divine monsters.”
“Tribulations seem to be a power of the Yggdrasil’s will. Once it is enacted, it transform our bodies in a way… Our Divine Realms are divided from our souls because of this, it is an attempt of the world’s will to fuse our divine realms into the world instead of having it for ourselves.” Said the Fox Venerable.
“But then what about Drake?” Asked Benladann. “He still got it outside, right?”
“Drake’s is… very unique. His ascension was thanks to his Unique Skill named [God]. But he had said he can absorb Divinity, so that was his method.” Said the Frost Queen.
“Also his Divine Realm emerged within the interior of a giant flying golem, Fuyu.” Said the fox venerable. “I believe he’s quite unique, amongst the old Venerables, only a few got it like that.”
“Wait, what about the Divine Realm of the Vampire Venerable?” Wondered Miranda.
“Oh that guy’s Divine Realm…” The Frost Queen sighed. “I destroyed it. He had turned it into a giant dungeon that constantly created vampiric divine monstera and let out a red mist everywhere in the world, even after his death he was converting more people into vampires through it. I had to destroy it and the divine power was repurposed, I used it to blast his moon too.”
“Wow, that’s some interplanetary battle level shit.” I said while feeling slightly surprised.
“Hahah nothing like that, we Venerables cannot go this far… always.” Said the Frost Queen. “Maybe when we go completely serious, we might begin shattering the bedrocks or shaking a continent… sometimes.”
“Huh…” The more I heard about it, the more I thought Venerables were absolute monsters.
And this bastard of Sangre wants to become one to make it worse… ugh, well, whatever. I’ll get to him eventually. I’ve been reading the Primordial Blood Grimoire a lot now, so I am learning more and more powerful blood divine magic. I’ll slowly get to his level, eventually.
“Phew…” Alma sighed, resting over a chair made of Root’s branches. “I never thought we’ll have a divine material contest out of the blue, this place’s wild.”
“The more I see them, the more charmed I am before their magnificent forms.” Root said, looking at the beautiful harvested divine plants we got, from all shapes and colors.
