Chapter 1767: Vase
"Because he is able to start with the second phase, his true vessel will help him naturally in changing the divinity into authority."
Anubis raised his paw. "Will it make him weaker than average true gods?"
"Not necessarily. Once the conversion is complete, he will become as strong as other true gods. However, true gods continue to accumulate karma. The more karma infused into the authority, the stronger your power will become.
"As such, there are levels even among the true gods. I’m sure that you already understand that with all these true gods around.
"Hence, you can be true gods, but if you don’t plan to accumulate karma, your power will be stagnant.
"It looks like all of you are intending to become a true god..." Tiamat looked at Anubis and the others.
"As long as it doesn’t harm our summoner, then yes. As for the karma to get stronger, we won’t rely on him," answered Anubis.
"In that case, that should be fine." Tiamat nodded. "I understand why this world is used as the base by the aliens. Each planet contains its own consciousness.
"This consciousness is the one maintaining the planet. The flow of energy, the system within the planet, and so on.
"This world consciousness has been developed to such a high degree that it turns into a kind of storage that is used to record all sorts of information. In fact, this planet feels like a codex.
"I wasn’t in that war, so I didn’t know everything. However, looking at the state of the planet, it has been infused with all sorts of information from multiple planets."
Nyx nodded. "That is true. Although I’m not aware of the details either, the Earth has a council, but that’s not the only council to resist the alien. Back then, we also allied with other planets. Most likely, the council of multiple planets has agreed to make this world like this."
"That is possible," Tiamat agreed. "Anyway, we should go back to the topic. Because this planet has that role, it records everything. How karma behaves with divinity and so on.
"And the planet transforms further, using its own information to create information that doesn’t exist.
"The little wolf’s evolution is proof of that. His evolution shouldn’t exist, but the world has created new information by using existing information.
"However, this is the only help you can receive from this world. If you want to get stronger, you need to do it yourself. That’s why once you possess the true vessel, there is no more path for you to evolve.
"I won’t say we can’t get stronger anymore. We might still be able to evolve, but this world doesn’t have that information."
Nathan looked down, pondering. "Tiamat... Using your explanation, doesn’t this mean I can also help other familiars to become gods? It’s not true gods, so the burden shouldn’t be significant, right?"
"!!!" Everyone was stunned by Nathan’s crazy idea.
Tiamat answered, "You can. For example, that vampire queen over there. She normally has to form her divine rules first, but you can actually evolve her, allowing her to possess a divine body right away.
"However, only her energy can be turned into divine energy. Unless she has completely formed her divine rules, she won’t be able to possess divinity. Then again, forming divine rules is the easiest step. So, I don’t think anyone will complain about that."
They were astonished. They never thought that becoming a god would be so simple.
"Still, don’t underestimate the process. You are able to do it because of my summoner and his Soul Contract. I’m not entirely sure as well, but the fact that the Soul Contract can handle karma doesn’t justify the fact that it’s just an innate ability.
"Even if you save the world a thousand times, an innate ability won’t evolve because it will appear after your first death.
"If people are dying, their karma will be calculated for the privilege either in nirvana or in their next life. Let’s use the latter as an example. In the next life, their karma will turn into their talent, background, or other useful things.
"Innate ability is that. For Flora, who was born as royalty, you must have done a great deal in your previous life."
Flora looked down. She didn’t feel happy about it, though.
"If you are thinking about the sad part, that’s just because you haven’t done enough. Everyone has the right to decide their own fate, even if the world is trying to give you that fate. The only difference is how far you’re willing to go."
"..." Flora suddenly couldn’t reply to that statement.
"Anyway, do you intend to help them forge their divine bodies?" Tiamat asked Nathan.
Nathan nodded. "You’re more knowledgeable. I have the desire to do so, but I will ask for your advice."
"If it’s only for the divine bodies, I can allow it. However, not the true vessels. You can only help to forge the true vessels for those who are gods. At the very least, they have done everything by themselves and they have accumulated a certain amount of karma. Meanwhile, those who haven’t become gods will use all their karma to forge their divine bodies. Understood?"
"Yes."
"And now, the big question is to lessen that burden. Right now, you can evolve people as you like with your own karma. Sacrificing items can lessen that burden, but you need to lessen the burden. As I said, the more karma you possess, the stronger you become when you are a true god.
"Right now, helping them evolve is a good thing because they can help you. The girls might be able to handle true gods, and for that, having as many familiars that can help them is the way to do it.
"However, you also need to possess as much karma as possible if you want to fight the singularity.
"And now, how to lessen the burden?" Tiamat raised her head, looking at Fenrir.
"Ah? So, that’s why you are asking what kind of vase Fenrir used..." Nathan gasped, realizing everything.
