Just what is this?

I was just minding my own business, enjoying this little time of peace with my friends and family, and then, the world change without my permission.

I mean, they do not need my permission but still!

Jorgrakog just confirmed it in front of everyone, these jewels were indeed the same item that the mysterious god with three voices that spoke to Jorgrakog gave to her.

And yeah I am not that stupid to not guess who that god with three voices is.

Of course, it's Zudig, Begudhur, and Kheseerad remnant fused souls!

Or Zubekh, their new provisional name.

So they have recovered enough for them to begin mass-producing this broken item!

I do not even know how to make such a thing and I am the original wielder of Divinity Devouring!

Damn it.

Anyways, so they just went ahead and changed the world completely.

Why, may you wonder?

Well, it is simple.

Pretty simple.

You see… If it is already the Top 1 Ranked Item ever sold in the Interdimensional Merchant Shop.

This means it has already been bought by a crap ton of Gods!

And Genesis surely has a lot of Gods!

Before this item even were to appear, Gods were not capable of eating other Gods as easily, especially because if the Divinities differed too much from each other, it would affect the God negatively.

So they could not directly absorb all the power of a God.

But remember how Kinesis was able to do that after he awakened the Syphon Skill?

Well, Divinity Devouring has some kind of similar ability, but you have to eat the soul directly instead of s.u.c.k.i.n.g off the Primordial Essence.

Alongside this, Divinity Devouring also brings the ability to directly kill a God.

Before this, to 'kill' a God, you had to slice it into pieces, destroy its bodies, crush its cores, seal them, and slowly make them merge with the environments, like Gaia.

But Gods souls are so resilient that even then, Gaia was still able to make a comeback!

However, with Divinity Devouring, Gods can eat other Gods directly, no matter who they are, goodbye!

Before that, Divinity Devouring was only known as a Divine Technique that let a God absorb a compatible Divinity into their main divinity, but the god they absorbed it from technically didn't die.

But now they can actually just go directly into the eating… like me.

And the world itself will change as well.

Now, through Divinity Devouring it should be possible for Gods to generate new types of bodies to live on the surface, even becoming immune to Miasma altogether.

How is this not bad?!

They might no longer be as restricted as before too!

It will make them grow more chaotic and aggressive, if they can just gobble each other up, they will just get to it and fight for who eats who!

This world really has just become a god eat god world now…

How troublesome.

Well, nothing seems too shocking, everything is ok now, there is a calm before the storm.

I would guess the Gods are just preparing.

Gods eating other Gods everywhere.

Battles, wars, the world in chaos.

They will not care anymore about maintaining mortals as much as before, they would simply seek more power by eating each other.

The peace and harmony? Completely gone.

Damn, was this whole time Genesis being in peace and harmony?

It was already hard and tiring enough.

Imagine when it will finally break that harmony!

Complete and utter chaos

It would be far from calling this an Apocalypse.

The Gods around me are tired of our battle yesterday, and they certainly were hoping to rest a little bit for now.

But now, they are all concerned about what might the future await.

It will surely be… unpredictable.

And it is all fault of that damn Zubekh.

And well…

"It's my fault…" I said.

"No, Kireina-sama, don't say that!" said Agatheina.

"It wasn't… really your fault, although Zubekh acquired such powers from learning about you… Well, it is not completely your fault," said Morpheus.

"There are times when we can't simply do everything in the world, even as Gods, we are not perfect people, we are filled with weaknesses, we are imperfect, even you, Kireina-sama," said Hodhyl.

"But I still screwed it up… I should not have taken it for granted when I literally had those three inside of my mouth and digesting them… Who would had thought that such a tiny little bit of them would be enough to regrow back completely and cause this much trouble… Ugh, I am really such a pathetic piece of trash…" I sighed.

"K-Kireina-sama, how can you say that of yourself?!" asked Agatheina.

"But it is true… I am such… a damned piece of shit… I shouldn't have… let this happen… if I had eaten them in time… none of this would have happened… my own mistake is now ruining the entire fate of this world, and filling my path with so many new difficulties and challenges… Everything now just feels as if destiny is mocking me…" I said.

The Gods fell into silence as they glanced at the ground, some at their own hands, others at their cups of tea.

Yeah, I really am just the worst.

Just how f.u.c.k.i.n.g pathetic do I have to be?

For f.u.c.k's sake, I really should go and die, I ended screwing up everything.

But I can't possibly think about dying.

No.

I just have to cope with it.

"Sorry if I sounded awkward, in my previous life, my best way to cope with things was to insult myself," I said.

"Kireina-sama… Never… say such things… Y-You are not those things you said! You are an amazing person and a glorious being! Your mistakes are… normal, even for such a being, for us gods, we all commit mistakes, none of us is perfect," said Agatheina.

"Mistakes are the things that forge our personality, nature, and strengths. It forges us as beings, the more mistakes you commit, the warier of your own actions you become," said Morpheus.

"Indeed. Although it is not really good to commit mistakes, they will always happen through all of your life, you cannot escape from them, it is an essential part of the existence of any living being," said Hodhyl.

"Even the wisest and most intelligent of beings had committed many mistakes before becoming good enough to prevent them… And you, Kireina-sama, lack a lot of experience, more than all of us… yet you are someone incredibly wary and perceptive, even without enough experience, you have managed to evade a lot of mistakes and things that could have cost your life or that of your people… I believe that even after committing the mistakes of not eating Zubekh in time, you've already done enough for what you are," said Agatheina.

"Of course, what we are talking about is not accepting mistakes as something good that should be always expected, but that the mistakes that you committed are already in the past and that you cannot go back there. You have to keep advancing into the future and look forward to not committing the mistakes you once did. That is how we learn, we commit a mistake, and we make sure to not commit it again… only to commit a new one and make sure we do not commit again… This is the cycle of learning," said Gaia.

"And we will make sure to stay at your side, no matter what. So let us also bear the burden of your mistakes, and let us work together making sure to not commit them again," said Merveim.

"That's right… I have committed a lot of mistakes in my life… And I am… very ashamed of them… but… I keep looking forward to the future, and to improve… Kireina-sama, if someone like me can do this, you can also do so," said Nyzzet.

"Not only your mistake lend to this, but a series of events continuously one by one. Not only your influence was what made this possible, but it one of many other forces you had no power over. I am sure that even without your intervention, perhaps those Gods could have figured things out one day and had brought chaos to the world anyways, or perhaps someone else would have figured it out… Such as Kinesis, wasn't that bastard like them? He had managed to reach a lot of things, he even had a Chaotic Soul which he cultivated himself, and even made up an ideal physical vessel and got Divinity Devouring! I believe that even if you had eaten Zubekh, perhaps Kinesis or any other wicked god would have done the same as him sooner or later…" said Gaia.

"Yeah… I guess… you might be a bit right. But even then, I do not want to forget this mistake I made, I will keep it close to my heart, and I will let it fuel my conviction to keep striving forward, and to not… commit anymore mistakes like these. Everyone, let us work hard to survive what's coming… and the world that awaits us tomorrow…" I said.

"Haah, those are better words, Kireina-sama… This is the Kireina-sama I've fallen in love with!" said Agatheina, kissing me.

"That's right, this is the Kireina-sama we follow and serve!" said Bovdohr.

"Being conscious of one's mistakes is something that not many can achieve so easily as you, it means that you're a m.a.t.u.r.e and smart person… just like the Kireina-sama we have always known about!" said Nomera.

"Okay, okay, you can stop the flattery, I don't really need it…" I said with a mild smile.

These people, Gods, beings atop the skies, and mortals were just like any other people.

They might be stronger than mortals, but they are still essentially them.

The Title of a God in Genesis is different than such a concept on Earth, it is just the Title of a Level of Power. It does not mean being perfect, it does not mean being absent of mistakes, and it does not mean never having committed mistakes at all through their entire existence.

And I who wields the power of a God, or several, am the same.

Do not get me wrong, I am still angry and frustrated, but I know that I cannot simply concentrate on this for eternity, I have to keep going forward and make sure to not commit these mistakes again.

It is the only thing I can do.

And I will make sure to do it very well…

"Now that such an item is being sold, more and more gods will acquire the power of Divinity Devouring, and most likely the power to acquire a pseudo-mortal physique or some other type of power such as a Chaotic Soul to not be restricted anymore," said Morpheus.

"We have to take for granted that Gods will now become wilder, more obsessed with gathering power than ever, and even more warmonger…" said Maeralya.

"Good thing we have devoured a couple of Gods ourselves at this point, we are not the same as before… Even I as a Demigod feel very strong… I don't think I've ever felt so strong in my entire life, it feels like I might soon cross to God-Rank!" said Morpheus.

"Me too," said Marnet.

"Me as well," said Maeralya.

All of the Demigods presents seemed to be feeling capable of reaching God-Rank soon, by crossing through the last Divine Trial inside of their Divine Realms, they would become capable of raising the Ranks and become a God, a level of a higher power.

Although to be honest, Morpheus and the other Demigods already feel as strong as a full-fledged divine entity at God-Rank… But I am glad they are still excited about becoming even stronger.

The discussions continued for a while, talking about preparations and other stuff really made the time fly, until we all realized that there were even more allies waiting for us, the fragments of the Titans I stole from Hephaestus family!
