Checking at Brunhild's stats, she had indeed grown stronger, for sure. And she even has more Intelligence than I do?! Well, I guess she's really a magic prodigy… to compensate, her physical stats are not that good. Is this because of her [Weak Physique: Lv--] Skill? Just what is that?

I decided to check that one Skill that seemed to be the oddball around the rest of her amazing Skills. She had surely learned a lot of new Magic Skills in the meantime as well, it is pretty surprisingly amazing as well. She's quite amazing, yeah, I can't stop praising her. It feels like I discovered her talent. Like I am her manager and she's my star in Hollywood, that kind of gist.

Nonetheless, her evils kill seems to be getting in the way…

[Weak Physique: Lv--]

A Skill that only materializes in the Soul Books of people that has born with an inherently weak body. They cannot properly develop to the fullest potential of their race and their physique is generally several times weaker than the average individual of their species. This Skill cannot be removed nor this condition can be healed, as it represents the body's condition since birth.

Oh damn… So despite being so good at magic she really got a weakness here. I guess she still was doing her best even with such a condition, managing to learn several weapon technique Skills due to her constant effort to show her father she was a strong Giant.

I've heard as well about this, children that are often born prodigious at magic are also physically weak. It is as if the powerful magic talent in their bodies inhibit their physical development. And because Brunhild would be someone equal to a Great Goddess at Rank 8 most likely, or even almost a Pseudo Supreme Goddess, she cannot really heal this condition normally, unless she gains the power and authority of the gods from genesis where her body transform into her element.

This is one of the things I have also found weird about this world, although the power levels are as insane, their bodies still remain with "mortal-like characteristics" instead of becoming elemental embodiments of their divinities. Could there be something in this world stopping them from acquiring these abilities that should be latent within them?

Or perhaps in this Dimension, the conditions to acquire such abilities require an even higher and further power level. Maybe that's a reason why these Gods of this world didn't just disappeared into Divine Energy and ended leaving rotting corpses as well?

Hmm… Well, it is kind of complicated I guess. Maybe if I were to temporarily bring them to Genesis they could unlock the Genesis powers, the same way I unlocked this world, Grand Terra's powers… Right?

Or maybe I could find a way to awaken such power within them using my own divine powers? Maybe if I develop further… I am already kind of becoming something of an embodiment of chaos through my shapeshifting powers. Maybe I just need to get them to level up further…

Well, I could always try to do it with me first before anybody else, right?

As we walked outside the cave, I flew using my butterfly wings and sat cross-legged, cultivation and meditation stuff activated.

While flying in midair, I tried to concentrate into my soul. I saw it. Because my soul was completely destroyed, when Elfina brought me here, it was reconstructed from zero, only a piece of my original soul's powers which were stored within the memories in The Root.

My soul until now has been growing monstrous like it used to be, it is now completely pitch black, and large spiraling masses of darkness are constantly bubbling over it. Red Eyes appear and disappear constantly, I could totally shape out some tentacles too.

The elemental embodiment power that the gods used in their daily lives to shapeshift was the usage of materialization of divine power, the usage of divine soul outside their bodies, and the combination of it all. I actually got Phantasmal Aura that allows for my soul to move to its liking and emerge, and Divine Aura to form and help me exude my divine aura as well.

By merging both and then trying to materialize my soul outside of my body, encompassing it, and then trying to meld it together slowly… through the power of various other skills, Daos, and Divine Authorities…

FLAAASH!

"Eh?!"

"What?!"

"What's that?!"

"Kireina?!"

Suddenly, everyone panicked as my entire body twisted itself and even space flickered by my existence. I felt my own body grow shapeless and amorphous, as countless black and chaotic masses of materialized phantasmal divine soul emerged around me. My flesh melded with my soul, and… I had materialized my element of Chaos.

"Wow, it worked!" I said, my voice seemed twisted and rather monstrous. "It seems I've acquired enough power and skills to do this one technique, hehehe…"

Ding!

[You have learned the [Chaos Absorption: Lv--] Resistance Skill!]

Woah there! Three Skills in one shot?! No way, I should had done this way earlier! Though, much like Divine Energy, maintaining this powerful form for long is slowly taking away my MP. I can already assume that the "MP" of this Status is literally my Divine Energy and any other similar and connected energy combined together.

"K-Kireina! What the heck did you do?!" Luminous panicked.

"She changed completely! Is this another evolution?!" Asked Fiere.

"I cannot… comprehend her shape at all…" Brunhild said.

"Ugh… Uggh… It is somewhat scary, my head hurts!" Cried Ariant.

"I am feeling dizzy… It feels like everything around is distorting, even the desert spirits are scared!" Cried Eriant.

"Ohooo! I guess even THAT is working!"

Ding!
