Hm, my stats had given yet another big jump, most likely due to all those stats that I gained yesterday and today, by eating Divinity Fragments, Legendary-Rank Equipment, and then these two Demigods.

Ah well, and the stats per level up had increased a lot, I think I get like 250 HP per level up and around 500 MP per level up and so on… Fairly good, isn't it?

Stats gained per level up are determined by the hidden factor named 'Growth Rates', which define the amount of stats that you can get per level up, each stat has their own growth rates, even my luck seems to increase by 1 point per level up, but this has happened just recently, so it seems that I've awakened its growth rate at last.

Now that I have changed into so many Classes, my growth rates have been boosted tremendously, and the more Classes I change into, the more this will increase.

Meaning that at some point I could even get like over one thousand in one Stat, or something crazy like that.

Due to this, even my level-ups now help me in boosting my stats even more ridiculously.

And there are a lot of other things showing up now as well… I can even directly see my current number of Primordial Essence, I have a lot because I have eaten a lot of beings with god-like powers I guess… Legendary-Rank weapons also increased it a bit.

Maybe I could max the level of some of my wives simply by spending this precious resource, which also represents my 'true HP' in some way.

As whenever my body is destroyed, my soul remains, right?

So technically, I am not dead.

Well, the 'stat' or 'resource' that determines that is Primordial Essence. Every soul has it, but Gods, whose souls are considered to be 'immortal' due to their large amount of Primordial Essence, are capable of bringing a lot whenever I eat their souls.

And whenever you lower that stat to zero, even gods will simply die, their souls just vanish, and they stop existing.

However, a different process happens when I eat Gods. Through my Uroboros (Devour) and God Devourer, I am capable of absorbing the Primordial Essence of my enemy, making it my own, which also ultimately makes the god itself become one with me.

Like a forced fusion.

Then, I simply destroy their minds with my own, devour the destroyed pieces, and acquire their knowledge.

This process is incredibly easy for me, but it seems that not everyone can imitate it, or there would be Gods eating others all the time, right?

Even Zudig was not able to do this properly, as even after devouring Begudhur, the mind of Begudhur remained within the soul.

This is because their souls merged into one through that 'digestion', and it seems that Zudig was not capable of doing what I do with the minds of the gods I eat.

Thanks to this, I have also realized something within one of my abilities, that reincarnating the mortal souls I have eaten.

What happens is that when I eat the souls, most of their Primordial Essence becomes mine, but within my Inner Realm Soul World, their minds remain. When I reincarnate them, I simply infuse a tiny bit of this precious essence and 'revive' the soul by using the 'memory' of the remaining mind.

Of course, I can also opt by completely annihilating a soul by eating the mind too.

I doubt this can work with Gods though, as the quality and power of their Souls are simply quite different than mortals, and when I eat them, they get stuck to my soul and merge with it, so it's getting hard to separate them. I often just eat them entirely, mind included.

Anyways, it seems that I lied about the Skill Points, as I do not have over 200.000, but only a measly 199.191!

I know, I know, I apologize for having lied to you.

Ah, and I even have over one million Dungeon Points! What should I buy with it? Hmm~

Maybe a Sin or a Heavenly Commandment?!

No, wait, those cost five million…

Never mind.

Well, there are still a ton of other interesting items, but I feel like they would be more useful whenever I become an actual goddess.

Anyways, I decided to glance at my available Class Options.

[Available Main Classes]

[Chaotic Summoner of Devastation], [Uttu], [Samsara], [Huahet], [Phantasmal Yokai Conjurer Queen], [Chaotic Bestower], [Echidna], [Ragaraja], [Root of Life Magic Queen], [Aberrant Hermaphroditus], [Mutation, Change, and Evolution Matriarch Queen], [Nanna Suen], [One Thousands Weapon User], [Abyssal Necromancer Vampire Matriarch], [Supreme Druid of the Daughters of the Forest], [Aegis Shield User], [Lamashtu], [Phantasos], [Phobetor], [Legion], [Apophis], [Typhoeus], [Gungnir Spear User], [Divine Aura Fighter], [Inner Worlds Creator], [Shamash], [Isis], [Fulgora], [Lei Long], [Janus], [Zhulong], [Nuwa], [Aruna], [Ushas], [Sul-pa-e], [Ophion], [Divine Fire Soul Djinn], [Hephaestus Hammer User], [Shub-Niggurath], [Yog-Sothoth], [Labyrinthos], [Helios Successor], [Divine Ice Soul Fairy], [Kauket], [Primordial Beast of Self-Gluttony], [Amorphous Spatial Conqueror], [Eros], [God Annihilator], [Theseus], [Divine Living Dungeon], [Cthulhu], [Great Chaotic Abyssal Demon Queen], [Chaotic Queen Witch of Calamity], [Void Attribute Magician], [Goddess of the Spring of Primordial Essence], [Abhorred Carrier of Disease and Pestilence] (New!), [Nergal] (New!), [Ruler of Lust] (New!), [Neo Uroboros] (New!), [Divine Equipment Devourer] (New!), [Divine Chain Breaker] (New!), [Heavenly Sealer] (New!), [Thunderstorm Pickaxe Miner Goddess] (New!), [Divine Titaness Matriarch of Earth] (New!), [Gaia] (New!), [Divine Oceanic Chimera Empress] (New!), [Hydros] (New!), [Soul-Bound Divine Wyvern Blade] (New!), [Deceiver of Gods] (New!), [God Clone User] (New!), [Megusan] (New!), [Geggoron] (New!), [Apollo] (New!), [Garaksasha] (New!), [Cyrene] (New!), [Asclepius] (New!), [Soul-Bound Divine Sacred Wind Bow Heroine Goddess] (New!), [Divine Light Medicine Priestess Goddess] (New!), [Ammit] (New!), [Demogorgon] (New!), [Khepri] (New!), [Karkinos] (New!), [Vetala] (New!), [Leutogi] (New!)

Well damn.

I got like… How many are those? Ten? More than ten? I got more than ten new Classes…

I mean, I know that I got a lot of power since my last Class Change Session, but this is still quite ridiculous.

All of them sound interesting, to be honest.

Many seem to be related to what I have been acquiring, ability-wise.

Ah, there are also two Classes related to sealing, Divine Chain Breaker and Heavenly Sealer, I think.

And there is also… Neo Uroboros? What do you mean by 'Neo'?

Neo means 'new' I believe.

So it is like an upgraded Uroboros? A 'new' Uroboros…

Ah, there are now Classes representing the Gods I have eaten too!

Finally, I mean, I was always expecting that to happen, but still, it finally happened.

But there are also the Gaia and Hydros Classes, even though I never ate them.

And there are not Classes representing Gods I have eaten Divinity Fragments either.

Nor Zudig, Begudhur, or Kheseerad are here either… Is that because I never actually ate them… like completely?

But still, I got a big chunk out of them all, I should get those Classes.

Oh well, I got Cyrene and Asclepius as Classes… Maybe Zudig, Kheseerad, and Begudhur will appear later, who knows?

Wait, who's Garaksasha?

Hmm…

Oh right, that Fire Attribute God I ate, one of the Gods alongside Geie and Hydros that were freed by Kheseerad to cause chaos in the battle.

Yeah, I guess I ate him pretty quickly, what I remember about him was that he just rampaged and was so wild it resembled a monster more than a god.

And his memories were quite blurry, perhaps he was someone else before, but I did not get anything from him, so I easily forgot about him.

Anyways, some of the other Classes are pretty interesting, like the Nergal Class.

I remember that it is some kind of God from Sumerian Mythology. It represented the Sun at first, and then it was also associated with War, Pestilence, and even later on to the Underworld.

So it is a mixed bag of a god, with a bit of everything I guess, an interesting God.

Then there is Ammit, which I remember was an Egyptian beast or god that was called 'devourer of the death'. I think it accompanied Anubis when he judged the hearts of those who had died.

There is the Demogorgon Class too, which I have been expecting to appear eventually… It is a Class related to a kind of Demon within mythology, something that could even be called the counterpart of the Demiurge.

There is the mysterious Khepri Class as well, this one seems to represent the Scarab Egyptian God, this one is a bit popular, it represents the Scarab that holds the sun. Such symbol has appeared a lot across all of Egyptian history, in their accessories, clothes, and the various paintings within their pyramids.

And Karkinos… Errr… I think it was… Is this serious?

Does this Class represent the Cancer Constellation?

Really?

Why?

Is it because I hold authority over the Cancer Arachne Tribe? I do not know what else, to be honest.

Ah, Vetala is… according to the description, a kind of 'Vampiric Beast of Hindu Mythology', which seemed to take over the death or something like that. Interesting, I guess it does relate to me more than Karkinos…

And Leutogi is a Polynesian Goddess whose name literally means 'bats'. It seems to be a Goddess that was once a mortal princess, who was once sentenced to death because of being accused to be a witch.

Because of an act of kindness where she saved a baby bat beforehand, the bats came to her rescue before she was burned, and she traveled with them and was protected by them… and something like that… She, later on, became a Goddess of Fertility and the protector of Bats.

This might or may not be related to my Vampiric traits, or perhaps something like my Titles as a Bat Beastmen leader?

Ah, I get all of this info not because I actually remember, but by glancing at the Class descriptions and then using Appraisal repeatedly over them to get even more info.

I do not know if this is even possible for someone else, but I guess the System Gods provide me with this info.

These last set of Classes are rather mysterious, but I'm already done with looking at them, time to select some Classes once and for all.

Sadly, I cannot convert my own Primordial Essence into my own Skill Points and EXP, as it wouldn't work, it can be granted to others, but not me!

But why?! It's my damn power!

Maybe it is like eating myself, it doesnt really give me any nutrients because I am just technically getting it back into my body.

But perhaps when I become a Goddess it could be different?

Even then, Primordial Essence is very important, so wasting it around might be... a bit too much.
