Divine Authorities, the grand power I could use as a Goddess, with them I enjoyed a nice amount of powerful Passive Abilities that granted me a special advantage above others. These Authorities also made me "part" of the world of Genesis, as if I was slowly turning into a pillar of its existence and creation. It was quite the shocker I suddenly relearned these powers, now it's time to see what they're all about.

[Deadly Sin: Gluttony]

The Divine Authority of the Deadly Sin of Gluttony. By activating this special Divine Authority, MP and HP is constantly consumed every second by a large amount. Through the use of this Divine Authority, the power to devour anything is acquired, the user can enhance any sort of Biting-type Skill up to +50% its total power (+5% more per Skill Level) and can ignore 25% of the foes' Defense (+3% more per Skill Level), and the user's jaws can bite through any material, anything that is bitten can be consumed to restore a slight amount of HP and MP based in the quality and magic power contained within the bitten and consumed material.

What the… This is crazy good! Although not as good as the [Devour] I imagined, it gets pretty close except that it doesn't grant any Skill or Stats by eating other things, but it can restore HP and MP which constantly drains from me. It can also enhance my biting Skills… So Mighty Caterpillar Bite, I guess? It is the only one that can bite currently. I could get something more, but I kind of want to see what happens to it after reaching max level. Despite being cursed with the Root and need several times the same Skill Proficiency to level up Skills, I am still having some very high level skills due to how much I fight. This Divine Authority is looking to be shaping as my most favorite by far.

[Divine Virtue: Humility]

The Divine Authority of the Divine Virtue of Humility. By activating this special Divine Authority, MP is constantly consumed every second by a large amount. Through the use of this Divine Authority, a powerful light barrier is generated over the user's body that can block 25% of the total Damage inflicted by Light-aligned Elemental Magic (+2% more per Skill Level) alongside enhancing the power of all Healing and Light-aligned Magical Skills by +25% (+2% more per Skill Level). Additionally, the user is capable of creating the same Barriers and grant them to allies, which will gain the additional effect of enhancing their recovery speed of HP and MP by +50%, however, each barrier generated will increase the MP consumption.

This one looks amazing as well! I can even create a powerful barrier that can block all the light-aligned elements damage by a nice amount, and even increase my power of those elemental magic skills? I guess Purification and Holy Flames, right? They're the only ones I got that might be related. Aside from that, I can also grant the same barrier to allies and it comes with the plus of hastening their recovery of HP and MP, that's amazing. The bad thing is that this thing is a giant MP drainer and unlike the previous Authority, it doesn't let me regain it through its usage. Well, I can always combine it with Gluttony though, although the burden on my sol will be rather strong.

Hmm~ I would love to try both right away, but we are kind of just eating right now. Well, whatever's down there is going to get a massive beat down if I combine this with my Daos. Especially the Dao of Drain, hehehe! With that I can drain energies from a target, so it seems like the perfect complementation with my other Drain Skill I got, I am a Draining monster!

Even then, I think the burden is big, so I cannot abuse it infinitely. And my foes have been strong enough that even with my draining Skills, I've barely been able to fight them properly because they're so strong, and my MP still went down even with draining, so I had to use Uroboros against the previous Chimera Boss to get a win… It was a rather intense battle. Been ages since I had something so intense that wasn't against boring bosses… I crave more violence.

"Guh! Mama is making a weird face again, and her aura is a bit scary!" Aquamarine suddenly pointed out, quickly making me snap out of my daze.

"Ahaha… S-Sorry! I was just thinking about new possibilities. I increased the Divinity Stat so I got some new and juicy powers! It was thanks to increasing my Divinity Stat that I was able to Summon you guys, and even Repair part of your power, you're still left with two more Repairs though, so I hope I can get them soon, I will need even more Divinity Stat for that." I sighed.

"Certainly, but it is nice that we can Level Up and learn Skills too! I feel rather refreshed in this world, even though I am quite concerned too." Sighed White.

"You seem super happy in this world, did you already forgot about Genesis?" Wondered Black.

"What?! Of course not! I am not super happy here, but I am enjoying the moment while it lasts. The thing I have in mind 99% of the time is going back home and helping everybody else, you know? Don't get cocky, Black…" I sighed, waving my head which I lacked. "I am even working right now just to get there! We are doing this just to get stronger to beat down the cocky Human Empire idiots before we march into the Wastelands where the Demons live, there's a big desert before we can reach the Volcanic Lands where the Demon King's castle is, so we'll have a little desert adventure after the war... Ugh, it feels like this is getting a bit endless, but we are making good progress!"

"Okay, don't get so angered with me! I was just saying…" Sighed Black.

"Come to think of it, have you guys remembered anything of your past lives? I remember you Egos said something about remembering being somebody else once…" I said.
