Chapter 345 - A Dungeon Goddess?
-----
"This is my first, so it might not work… But let's try it out… Orb, don't you want a more… Erm, humanoid body? I can help you out in this regard. You see, my real appearance is like a black slime, but through this technique, I mastered through my life, I can now take this form… and it even grew physically with me! So how about giving it a try?" asked Axitl.
"Eh? A try?" asked Orb.
"Oh, that sounds interesting… I wonder what form Orb would take," said Frank.
Orb began to consider the possibilities! If she could somehow take the form she desired and stop being just a floating sphere… what would she want to be?
She wanted to be like the cute girls of the manga she read, or perhaps like the heroines within them…
Perhaps taking the form of a cute girl so she could grow closer to Frank… romantically.
"Yes! Please, mother, help me change my form!" cried Orb.
"As you wish," said Axitl.
Flash!
Axitl quickly conjured a powerful divine spell to help Orb acquire a form other than a sphere!
She had assumed that it could be already possible for Orb to do this, as after reaching Rank 10, her soul had become fully Divine, and she could be said to be akin to a Goddess to an extent.
And all Gods Divine Souls possessed special properties and were not completely like normal mortal souls.
For instance, divine souls could easily materialize and take the form they wanted, bringing a series of amazing uses to their users, such as shaping forms!
Although some Gods possessed physical divine bodies, all of the Gods of Terra were of the category whose divine existences composed their Divine Souls alone, being ethereal in nature.
Even Axitl was like this, despite looking so real and "physical" her entire existence was composed of Divine Miasma.
Gods usually had coverture of Divine Soul which they usually shaped around and materialized, while having an inner core soul which contained most of their power and mind. Additionally, most Gods also possessed what was named Divine Soul Core or Divine Core, where they contained a large amount of their power, some Gods could even create Divine Realms inside.
Frank could be cataloged as one of the odd ones, perhaps in other worlds they could be more common depending on their level of power and population, but he was a God who had been raised from mortal, and possessed a physical body which had also attained divine capabilities.
Additionally, he formed a Divine Realm inside his Divine Soul Core and had a lot of power within it too.
There were several types of Gods, such as Gods who are born spontaneously from the Cosmic Essence of the Universe, Gods created by other Gods by detaching a piece of their own Divine Soul, Gods born from the chaotic void, Gods born naturally from concentrated faith and prayers towards a certain figure of divinity such as in Earth, Gods born as mortals, and many more.
Orb could be cataloged as a Goddess now, as she had reached a level of Divine Soul that was enough to be called a Goddess, and she could be cataloged to be one created by another God, as she was a Dungeon Core made by Axitl.
"As a Goddess, you should be capable of changing your shape by enveloping your body with your Divine Soul, Orb, but this will help you do it swifter," said Axitl, as she conjured a special spell that helped Orb get attuned with her divine soul and its capabilities! After all, she was way more than a mere Dungeon now!
FLASH!
Orb suddenly attuned with her Divine Soul, as she began to slowly comprehend the full extent of her capabilities!
"This power… it is as if she were a Goddess already?!" asked Frank in surprise, he just realized that by upgrading Orb, he had just raised her into a Goddess!
"I am just as surprised, so when Dungeons become Rank 10, they turn into Divine Dungeons, which are comparable to Gods… Well, I suppose that it is more like the Core is the Divine, the Dungeon is a mere extension of all of its Divine Power. Fascinating," said Vheslia, as she began to write down notes. She was an avid researcher of many things, noting all of this information down would help her research of everything supernatural and magical about her world!
"So she is a Goddess already! Whew… I feel like she won the race here," sighed Gwendolyn.
"Race? What race?" asked Frank.
"Eh? Haha, nothing…" said Gwendolyn, petting Frank's head.
It seemed that Gwendolyn wanted to attain the Goddess status, but Orb got ahead of her in a flash and all thanks to Frank himself… Wouldn't it be fairer if he helped Gwendolyn become a goddess first? Although it really didn't matter, and it wasn't as if he could simply raise her into one by infusing divine energy unlike Orb, who had completely different physiology as a Dungeon Core.
"I wonder what will happen with Orb… Oh, will she take a humanoid form?" wondered Kamei.
"Hm, maybe mama will become like me? Because she's my mama!" said Selcis, clapping her pincers, which meant she was excited.
"Maybe she'll take the shape of a girl to be with Frank, I bet she likes him," said Cathyl while crossing her arms and nodding.
"Eh? That was quite direct! But yeah, that's… a possibility," said Kamei.
FLASH!
Orb began to flash with brilliant light as she was beginning to manipulate her powerful divine soul!
Frank and everyone else instinctively stepped back, as the whole dungeon started to tremble…
And shrink!
Indeed, the entire dungeon was shrinking, it was as if Orb's evolution was provoking this! It was her!
The dungeon suddenly began to tremble and make the earthquakes around, as everyone saw how it began to defy the logic of space and compact itself as if it had become some kind of leather!
It was a rather strange view, but it continued to compact itself as if the entire dungeon were being vacuumed inside of Orb's Divine Dungeon Core body!
FLAAASH!
"Nngh…! Ah… Almost… there!" cried Orb, as everyone's eyes almost popped out as they saw the enormous dungeon disappear out of thin air, Orb had absorbed it all inside of her!
How could it be possible for a Dungeon Core to have the dungeon inside of it?!
"And now… shrink!"
Orb quickly put all the strength and power she could muster, suddenly managing to compact her size, slowly but steadily, she reduced her size by quite a lot! Until her core had the size of a fist.
Flash!
Her Divine Soul quickly began to envelop her entire body, suddenly shaping itself as a mildly humanoid shape, made entirely out of bright white light.
Frank and everyone else glanced with wonder as she quickly formed two legs, a torso, two arms, head, and slowly, details over the entire shape began to emerge!
The dungeon core was deposited in the chest of her new shape as if it were her heart…
Flash!
