It has been a year since I evolved from a human being to something entirely new.
I went from a powerful human to what you'd expect from a god, and yet my power keeps on climbing.
Comparing myself from a year ago to my current self, I can say that I did not simply get stronger, instead my power multiplied many times over.
I am on a completely different level compared to anyone in my faction.
My changes were so great that calling myself human or any derivative such as High Human would simply be wrong. At the same time I cannot call myself a God due to me lacking divinity, even though it is on purpose.
That is why I decided to call myself a Celestial.
Sounds grand right?!
Well that isn't the only reason I chose that name, the fact is that I greatly resemble the Celestials from Marvel. I am the living energy that results from the combination between the mind and the soul.
What about my body you might ask? Did I become some planet sized robot?
Well, not much changed, I still inhabit a mostly Biological body, only due to my evolution, magic and spirit energy became integral parts of it. That is to say that I no longer have mana channels, instead my body itself is magical, all while being able to channel the power of my soul.
Now what do those changes mean for me exactly?
Simple, what I believed to be a simple evolution was in fact a method to ascend into a superior lifeform.
As I am currently, I would go as far as to argue that I am superior to Gods in terms of existential weight upon reality.
All I really need is time to grow further and if I want to be conservative about it, I will likely become as powerful as the weaker Primordials, however I believe that I might just reach further.
Then again, even the youngest and thus weakest Primordials I know-of have lived for millions of years longer than I have.
But for now this is only potential, it is up to me to make it into reality
However all of this is only in terms of energy for the real harvest of my ascendancy is the new power that awoke within my soul, The Power of Creation.
Yes, you heard that right, I now possess The Power of Creation, that is the power to create anything and everything I desire. It does not matter if it conforms to the rules of this reality as long as I invest enough energy I can create materials or even powers that go against the rules of this world.
The second greatest benefit I received is the Immortality granted due to me being a Semi-Spiritual Life Form, along with immortality I now possess a vastly increased well of Life-force along with an increased rate of replenishment.
The last major improvement is linked to my ability to peer outside my home reality and recreate what I analyze. This ability was born from my soul attempting to grant me my two greatest wishes, however by dividing the ability into multiple parts all I achieved was weakening it.
However, now that Creation is a complete and independent power all its own, my powers of Sight and Analysis made use of the conceptual free space left behind to evolve into a singular ability I decided to name "Insight".
Creation and Insight, the two powers that make me who I am.
The more I think about it the more I feel like these powers greatly resemble skills from Tensura, and perhaps this is exactly what they are.
Humm… This would mean that I have the equivalent of two Unique Skills as a part of my very soul along with some extra skills bound to either my body or simply connected to my soul.
Shapeshifting along with a variant of Regeneration are the would be "Extra Skills" bound to my body whilst my Energy Domination and Mind Domination Skills are simply connected to my soul.
Truly, if only I could have had access to the original world of Tensura then I would have likely reached the level of an Ultimate Existence (In Tensura) by now, putting me beyond this world's power level.
No matter I am more than satisfied with what I have, as I am currently I would not fear even a Heavenly Dragon, even if claiming victory over one of those monsters is still very much out of my league.
Now comes the dilemma of whether or not I should share the knowledge of how to ascend with others, and the conclusion came to was that, No, I must never share the method of ascension with my descendants.
I mean honestly who do you take me for? An idiot?
Are there not enough examples of children overthrowing their parents?
Zeus overthrew Cronus, Cronus overthrew Uranus, Apsu and Tiamat died at the hands of their descendants, and the list goes on.
That is not to mention that some of my own children have already tried to overthrow and even assassinate me.
Then again in my case their attempts were more amusing than anything else, none of my descendants ever came close to me in either skill or power, not to mention that all my living creations are one hundred percent loyal to me and me only, not that they knew that since I never shared the characteristics of any of my powers with anyone, ever.
The fact is that I am far too aware of what could happen, that is why I never underestimate anyone and even if I trust my family then I still leave guarantees in place for my peace of mind.
And yet I still need others in my faction that could help me if it ever comes to it, that is why I decided to act as the Voice of the World and pick and choose those who are truly loyal to me and so help them evolve and even grant them powers I have analyzed with which they are compatible. In case I have no power that would fit them, then I would use my newly gained Power of Creation to create one for them.
Am I not magnanimous? Am I not the most benevolent being to ever walk the earth?
Ha, just kidding, the way I will decide whom I should choose to evolve is by making use of a nifty power I retain from Rhea called Ancestral Memory, it allows me to rummage through the minds of my descendants. This way I can judge who is and will remain loyal to me even after gaining as much power as I will grant.
The result was underwhelming. Of all my descendants only four are and will most likely remain truly loyal to me.
The first is my beloved Sarra. She who is my maid, my friend, my most favored child and partner in all things.
The second is my eldest living son Aegon. He rules over a large part of my territory and commands much of my military strength.
Third is my second daughter with Aegon, Lilly. She is a Magical Genius comparable to myself and an all around sweet girl.
Last is my many times Grandson Felix. He barely made it into the High Class recently but what drew me to him is his sincere worship of me, and desire to grow to one day serve me.
Of all my tens of thousands of descendants only four are truly trustworthy.
I was disappointed in much of what I found but what truly horrified me was what is currently happening on earth.
From the minds of the descendants of my first children I could see a level of evil that I only ever heard of in stories. Truly I bore witness to the worst humanity has to offer and honestly the worst of them all are those descendants who inherited my magic.
They enslaved men women and children, sacrificed virgins, committed acts of cannibalism for no reason then to show their disregard for life, but the worst of them all are those who sacrifice souls to the devils they summon for scraps of power.
At first I was disgusted, then horrified that these creatures descended from me, but then wrath took over.
I did not care about my original goal, I did not seek to save the innocent, as few as they may be.
No, all I sought to do is erase what I saw as those who defiled my legacy.
I granted them magic to protect one another, not to beg at the feet of Filthy devils. No I did so to grant humanity a way to protect themselves from the supernatural, but perhaps God was right, they were not ready.
I directly teleported above one of the worst offenders, a city with so much sin, pain and suffering that daylight could not get past the miasma in the air.
That was when I stopped to ask myself how I should go about it.
Oh, make no mistake, I was still consumed by wrath but that did not mean that I was so far gone that I could not recognize that I stood no chance of destroying the earth, but then I did not need to. I remembered the day I met Yahweh and his last words to me were "You shall bring the Flood."
The bastard knew!
If that's what he wants, then fine.
I raised a single hand and with a wave I created a cloud which I imbued with enough magic to create a moon sized ocean, then I simply let go.
The cloud drifted in the air then it started expanding at an exponential rate. A minute later and it had covered the entirety of earth and so it would rain for forty days and forty nights.
As for the city, they were being systematically erased by angels though not without trouble.
Both wizards and Fallen called the city home, meaning that pockets of resistance sprang up every now and then.
But I would not have it.
I let my presence be felt by all in this battlefield as a warning mostly meant for the angels and with merely a thought I created a wave of fire that devoured everything.
One moment a city of evil stood, the next nothing but ash remained.
And with this last act I returned to my home dimension.
I understand why God used me to erase what became of my descendants.
He knows that I would never forgive him if he had exterminated my descendants, instead by having witnessed their actions and stepping in myself, he avoided making me his enemy which I would have become if he had touched anyone of my blood.
It might not look like it since I usually throw out any of my children when they are twenty but I truly love all those of my blood and I would never forgive those who would do them harm.
