GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 2543: Gushing Power.

Apparently, the disturbance that will be created during their advancement to a god will be worse than the one they created when they advanced to the godling rank. The disturbance will be so loud that it will attract the attention of many divine beings.

So even though, just like the god of dreams, half of their advancement will not be in the physical dimension, they still chose somewhere where they would be able to avoid disturbance for the first half of the advancement.

Thanks to the Environmental Adaptation divine ability, staying in the spiritual dimension is not a problem for them. They can stay there as long as they need.

The spiritual storm that they will create during their advancement will blend in with the chaotic atmosphere of the spiritual dimension. That way, no seer will be able to easily find them through the traces of their advancement. This is very important to them after they have learned their lesson from when the god of dreams found them.

Once they had all gathered together, they initiated the process of advancing. This caused the Mind Palace within them to burst forth with power.

It was as if a still lake of water within them was overflowing and flooding everything around them. They had to dam the lack and control the amount of water coming out of it, or the water would fill them up to the brim too quickly and cause them to explode.

The water gushing out of the Mind Palace is divinity. Their souls are the materials that they must use to construct a dam to control the flow of divinity into their existence.

Without enough souls, the dam that they can build will be weak. This will limit how much divinity they can withstand and turn them into a weak god.

Fortunately, they have many strong souls. And all of their souls are united and in harmony. This allowed the first half of their advancement to proceed without a hitch.

The first change in their existence was the construction of the so-called dam. The Mind Palace produced divine fragments, which then fused with their 12 souls.

Each soul got one divine fragment. The divine fragments formed a channel of power between their existence and the Mind Palace. So they have 12 channels of power with the Mind Palace.

With these channels created, they can modulate how much power they receive from the Mind Palace. Thus, the dam has been constructed.

After the dam was constructed, the second change could begin. This second change was the true infusion of power. Since the dam had been constructed successfully, this infusion of power occurred at a controlled rate that didn’t threaten to erode their existence.

Divinity gushed out of the Mind Palace into the divine fragments. Since their dam was strong, each divine fragment was able to hold 12 units of divinity.

When every soul was full of divinity, the third change began to take place. This change was in their divine body and soul, but was mostly evident in their divine body.

The presence of divinity in their existence increases the amount of divine power that they now possess. As a godling, their divine power was 12 (SOULS) × 1 (AVERAGE MASTERY) × 9 (DIVINE FLESH), which is 108. But now, their divine power has become 12 (SOULS) × 12 (DIVINE FRAGMENT) × 144 (DIVINITY), which is 20,736.

Their divine power increased from 108 to 20,736 units. This is an increase of 192 times. This kind of increase in their power affected both their soul and their divine body. Their soul and divine body began to increase in size.

Their divine body is that of a black bird with one eye. This form is 10 meters tall. But now it was growing larger. It quickly reached 1 kilometer tall and was still growing.

As they grew bigger, their body broke some of the limits of their power and gave them a higher limit. The most direct effect was that the upper limit of the power of their soul and their divine body increased from 40,960 units to 122,880.

This increase isn’t arbitrary. They gained 10,240 units for each of their souls. 12 souls allowed then to raise their limit to 122,880. But they would need to eat other divine beings in order to grow strong enough to reach this limit.

As the limit of their power was being increased, their body was still growing. They were also slowly disappearing from the physical dimension.

Their body entered the Mindscape. This was where the final changes to their existence would occur.

The fourth change that they needed to go through was the fusion of the Mindscape with their mind. This change will consume a lot of divine energy. The more divine energy they have, the faster they can complete the process.

Everyone has three layers in their minds. They are the gaseous outer layer, where short-term thoughts reside, the liquid layer, where memories reside, and finally, the solid layer, where the ego and the foundation of identity reside.

But the god of telepathy has a fourth layer. This layer is the Mindscape. It is attached to the outer gaseous layer and becomes an extension of the will of the god of telepathy.

The process of fusing with the Mindscape took Legion 1 year, 2 months, 3 weeks, and 4 days. This was even though they had four times as much divine energy as any godling had the right to have.

The delay wasn’t because of any resistance. There was no resistance to the fusion. The Mindscape was just too large.

But once they were done fusing with the Mindscape, it became an extension of their mind. From now on, they didn’t need to be in the physical dimension to roam it. They can create virtual copies of themselves anywhere in the physical dimension with a thought and can attack anyone regardless of distance.

With the Mindscape fully fused with their mind, they could go on with the last change. This change was the creation of outer bodies.
