“So, I wanted to talk to you guys about an easy way to power up Abel.”

“Just spoiling every one of your children then, huh?” Myriad asked without even glancing away from his work to enjoy the frown the statement brought to his apostle’s face.

“Don’t you start, Thera was joking about it until she went to sleep. I’m not adopting her.”

“Why not? Despite a few of your own personality issues, I genuinely think you’d be a good father to her.”

“…I have absolutely no clue how to even respond to that.”

“So what’s the way then, Ben?” Helori asked him. “Bearing in mind that if you start telling everyone up here to come down and make some donations like I let you talk me into, someone is going to try and smite you.”

“Well, you’re on the right track but not quite there. Have you guys started producing more demigods like me?”

“We have.”

“Getting Vividus to do it?”

“Not like there’s a better option on the planet when it comes to the mass production of homunculi on that scale.”

“Then it’s simple. I don’t know what parts you’re grafting onto any recipients to do it but just put the collar as high as you can when using a god soul and cut everything off below it so it maintains the changes inflicted on it. From there, transfer what you need to the recipient and pack the rest away for Abel to eat later. Her attributes will explode before you know it.”

“…Your imagination disgusts me,” Myriad sighed as he finally looked away from his work. “But I suppose it’s technically better than being forced to break the leftovers down. I’ll bring it up the next chance I get.”

“Excellent, and if you guys decide against it, I’ll let her know. As one of the few third-tier combatants, I’m sure none of you want her raising a spat and refusing to fight, do you?”

“Always with the threats with you, isn’t it?”

“That’s less of a threat than a prediction. Anyway, while we’re on the topic, how’s demigod production going so far?”

“Ugh, good would be an understatement,” Myriad said, sounding far too frustrated about what should have by all accounts been fantastic news. “There’s the small issue that it looks like odds of getting an integrated body skill instead of a partial body one are only about one percent but still, even the partial body skill has been showing more than effective enough at increasing the holder’s growth rates and abilities as they relate to the used god, with the one in question holding domains of magic, the self, and sight. Initial testing has found it safe enough in the few hundred Vividus has already modified that we’re looking at ramping up production. While it’s not going to be mandatory, we’re expecting to have every combatant associated with an army who wants to undergo the procedure modified by the third wave and at the very least, all first and second ranked adventurers modified too, with hopes that we’d be able to get the third ranks as well, although that’s a significantly larger group given it doesn’t require awakened skills to reach. Still, by the time this is done, this is going to be a world of demigods. I can only imagine what the genetic legacy of this is going to look like a few thousand years down the line.”

“Sounds like a future problem.”

“Considering the fact that you’re a third tier, future problems are by definition going to be at least somewhat your problem.”

“Huh, that brings up a good point,” Ben said thoughtfully. “My integrated divine body is currently at the sixth level and honestly, I’m kind of hoping I get another one or two before the next wave but if I die and ascend, it’s going to become a minor divinity for me, right? You think that means I’ll be able to help transition the partial skill to an integrated skill for anyone who has it?”
