The realm went quiet as soon as she’d said it, all of them taking it in and working through the implications of just what that meant, with Ben being the one to break it.

“Woo!” He yelled out, shattering the atmosphere between the two gods. “Oh, hell yeah, look at me go!”

“Ben, please,” Myriad sighed, already imagining how the other gods of the world would react when the news spread. “When word gets out about this it’s going to be a brand new complicated thing to deal with.”

“Excuse you, defying the natural order is absolutely something to get excited about!”

“Defying or defiling?” The cube muttered while Ben instead turned his focus to the goddess in his midst.

“Let’s go with deifying and Helori, ignore him, he’s being a real hater about my very cool achievement. Now, what does this mean for me?”

“It means a whole new boost to your attributes and likely one to skills that align with the trickle of divinity now held in your blood and soul,” She told him, not removing her hands. “But trickle is certainly the right word here. It’s less than what I’d expect from a proper demigod, closer to Nare’s granddaughter, although she by all accounts was born with a surprising amount considering she’s second generation.”

“And it will give me help getting to the third tier, right?”

“That depends, are you looking at getting to the third tier for any of your skills that fall under Quox’s categories?”

“Growth or gain? I mean, not exactly but if I get the chance I’m not going to say no to anything like that reaching the third tier.”

“But nothing you currently care about qualifies.”

“Okay, a slight damper on the news but I’m still going to take any attribute bonuses I can get! Plus, other good news! This means we can mass-produce demigods!”

Myriad crashed to the ground as he said it but Ben was already imagining. There was no reason that the process couldn’t be repeated again and again for all of the stronger fighters of the world or even just anyone who wanted it, permanently altering the landscape for god and mortal alike and leaving the cube to look at Helori for any hope it might be a one-time thing, only for her to shake her head.

“It’s repeatable, it just might be a bit more unpleasant for anyone else than what Ben went through. It seems like his sacrilege suppressed some of the divinity until it became a part of him and his defiler skill may have played a part as well, plus there’s the issue that the soul crystals are housing demon souls as well as god so that might have helped smooth things too considering the other body skill he has, but there’s no reason this can’t be done again. We have to call a meeting about this and then we’ll have to get in contact with the great life spirit as well, she’d be the best for running this in a way that would be both fast and safe for everyone.”

“Ugh, Ben, you bastard, things are already busy enough, how are you creating more work?”

“By doing me part to save this doomed planet?”

“Seriously, stop always calling it that.”

“The real question is what souls to use for it,” Helori spoke, bringing the conversation back on track. “Of all the forbidden gods, which would be the best to take advantage of? Should we try to align each one to the people they’d suit best or just use a single one and just accept giving out the same divine bloodline for everyone? We also need to keep producing potions with them so it’s not like we can just take them all either.”
