Just as I changed Classes to Ragaraja, I felt a dwelling power within my body, it was pink and purple-colored, and it permeated me entirely.

The power originated from within my heart, connected to my soul, where a large sphere of darkness with a fleshy heart was constantly pumping this energy into me.

Ah, this was the Sin of Lust, wasn't it?

And what permeates me… is it lust itself? The energy of lust, what gives me lust.

I suppose this is what gives me the drive to have sex every night without even getting tired?

Well, not entirely, I am still quite a big pervert myself.

Anyways, this energy, I do not remember being able to perceive it was good as new.

It is as if it was completely different energy of its own, isolated from Life, Magic, or Soul Energy.

But why? Does the Sin of Lust create its own type of energy?

I will call it 'Lust Energy' I guess?

So by changing into this Class, I can perceive this energy and… Oh, that's it.

I can use this energy and transform it into the other three, and even constantly do it, which also slowly, very slowly, increases the quality of my flesh and soul.

Exchanging the three primordial energies around one's body to temper it and increase its quality is what they call 'cultivation' in Genesis, or well, the old one.

Although mortals cultivate automatically through leveling up, Gods have to do this manually, as they cannot level up any longer, not receiving the support of the System in that regard.

I have learned all of this not from only asking Agatheina and the other Gods, but from all the memories of the Gods I've consumed.

So now, I am rather well versed in most of these basic god stuff, if I say so myself.

Anyways, I guess this is the effect of the Ragaraja Skill, it lets me perceive my lust as energy, and use it to achieve spiritual enlightenment… or cultivation.

It is just as the description of this deity was about, interesting…

Well, because this energy seemed to be almost endlessly produced by my Sin, I simply started using it to 'cultivate' straight away, combining it with my self-devouring cultivation from Uroboros.

Now that I have assessed this new ability, I glanced at my available Classes once again, picking up the next one on the list.

[Root of Life Magic Queen]

A Class unlocked by someone who has mastered Life Attribute Magic and is capable of manipulating it from within the root of its concept.

This Class strengthens some of the user's stats while enhancing the user's ability to manipulate, shape, and create life.

This Class offers an increase in the level of skills related to Life Attribute Magic and creation.

[Available Skills: None.

[Exchangeable Stat Bonuses: [+3000 HP +2000 MP] (12000 SP) (Required to Complete the Class)

My Root of Life Magic had been stuck at level 10 for a while, I believe.

So this Class might finally let me awaken it.

Ding!

[Kireina] changed Classes to [Root of Life Magic Queen]!]

[Kireina] gained +1000 HP and +1000 MP!]

[Kireina] exchanged 12000 Skill Points for the [+3000 HP +2000 MP] (12000 SP) (Required to Complete the Class) Stat Bonuses!]

Those who have become the enemies of the almighty gods are known as Divine Enemies.

Increase your damage dealt against any being, be it alive or not, while doubling your damage dealt against any 'Divine' being.

Increase the power of this Skill by leveling it up.

[Almighty Demon Goddess of Lust's Heart of Charming Domination: Level 1/10]

Your heart is grotesque and monstrous, but from within your inner self, another one had been born.

Although you possess the heart of an Abyssal Calamity Demon, you also possess the Heart of an Almighty Demon Goddess of Lust, with the power to dominate those you charm and bring them to your path.

Do not worry, as they will do so willingly, after all, once they have a taste of your heart, they will no longer think of you as anything else than their almighty lady.

These skills are pretty amazing, another batch has awakened.

My original Heart Skill became part of the Abyss Calamity Demon, but I also had another heart Skill, one made through the fusion of the Heart Skills of some of the Elemental Knights of Athetosea, and that one, who has been stuck at level 9 for a while, finally got to level 10 and awakened straight away, how intriguing.

Now, our next Class is…

[Aberrant Hermaphroditus]

This Class strengthens some of the user's stats while enhancing the user's ability to shapeshift.

This one is… well, like any of the previous ones, quite weird.

But I am pretty deep into this mess to go back now.

Ding!

[Kireina] changed Classes to [Aberrant Hermaphroditus]!]

[Kireina] gained +1000 Charisma and +1000 HP!]

[Hermaphroditus: Level 2/10]

The Divine Embodiment of a Hermaphroditus, a special living being who shares both genders.

Can be used as a Curse over any being who is willing, granting the [Hermaphrodite] Status Effect in the target momentarily, the time of the duration can go up to 24 hours, but the Curse can be undone at any time by the caster.

[Hermaphrodite] Status Effect: A Unique Status Effect that grants the victim the ability to have two genders, forming both genitalia, no other physical appearance change would occur, aside from former males generating wider hips and breasts.

The seed produced through this status effect is fertile, and so is the womb. If a victim of this curse ends up pregnant, the status effect will last until the victim gives birth.

Ah… This Skill is… Well, useful? I guess…

Well, I was already able to do all of that, but thanks for the little boost, it can now be done even easier.

I already see myself as a woman most of the time, and to be honest, I am not a Hermaphroditus all the time, as I am usually in my pure woman form, only popping up my old friend when there is nighttime, and if the occasion calls for it.

Although I am fairly sure that I could take into a male form, even my previous life one as well, pretty easily in fact…

But I do not really want to, nor feel any necessity, I am already a woman, and I feel comfortable as one.

And well… There is that… Status Effect inflicted through a Curse… The one that can last up to 24 hours…

Y-Yeah, that opens a lot of new possibilities, more than before…

B-But for now, let's keep this for me, and only for myself.

So, let us leave it at that and go for the next Class.

[Mutation, Change, and Evolution Matriarch Queen]

A Class unlocked by the matriarch queen that brings mutation, change, and evolution to all living and unliving beings, forming a new era.

This Class strengthens some of the user's stats while enhancing the user's ability to mutate, change, and evolve other living and unliving beings.

[Exchangeable Stat Bonuses: [+5000 Charisma +2000 MP] (9600 SP) (Required to Complete the Class)

Ooh, this one is… Pretty useful?

It might help me evolve things faster, or something.

Ding!

[Kireina] changed Classes to [Mutation, Change, and Evolution Matriarch Queen]!]

[Kireina] gained +1000 Charisma +1000 MP!]

[Kireina] exchanged 21600 Skill Points for the [Mutation, Change, and Evolution Matriarch Queen: Level 1] (12000 SP) (Required to Complete the Class) and [+5000 Charisma +2000 MP] (9600 SP) (Required to Complete the Class) Skills and Stat Bonuses!]

[Kireina] learned the [Mutation, Change, and Evolution Matriarch Queen: Level 1] Skills!]

[Kireina] acquired [+5000 Charisma +2000 MP]!]

[The Levels of the [Mutation, Change, and Evolution Matriarch Queen: Level 1], [Forced Evolution Induction; Level 9], [Bestow Chaos: Level 2], and [Echidna: Level 2] Skills have increased!]

[The [Forced Evolution Induction; Level 10], [Bestow Chaos: Level 3], and [Mutation, Change, and Evolution Matriarch Queen: Level 2] Skills have merged and awakened into the [Diabolical Demon Matriarch Goddess of Mutation, Change, and Evolution: Level 1] Skill!]

[The Level of the [Diabolical Demon Matriarch Goddess of Mutation, Change, and Evolution: Level 1] has increased!]

Oh?! They all just merged!

Interesting…

[Divine Demon Matriarch Goddess of Mutation, Change, and Evolution: Level 2/10]

The power to bring change to the world, to life, and death, that is the ability of the one who they call the Demon Matriarch Goddess of Mutation, Change, and Evolution, a power far beyond comprehension.

The mutation is change, constant adaptation and transformation, not living being, nor unliving being remain as the same, they constantly change.

This skill grants the user the power to accelerate this process.

[Abilities: [Divine Evolution Induction], [Divine Mutation Induction], [Divine Change Induction], [Bestow Chaos], [Divine Aura of Evolution, Change, and Mutation], [Transformation of Life], [Transformation of Death], […]

So this just merges it all I guess.

Yeah, I already know I can do all of this, but this now opens even wider paths.

Especially those with 'Divine' in them.

So now I have two ways of bringing evolution, through this method… or well, filling someone's EXP to the max and let them evolve 'naturally'.

I guess I should do the latter when someone is near becoming a Living Deity? Most of my strongest wives should be able to evolve into Living Deities when they finally max out their level…

So at some point, I might let them become living deities, but I don't know if I have enough for that now…

And well, you could call me selfish, but I want to become a Living Deity first before letting them become one.

Not entirely because I want to be the first or all of that crap.

But for security.

When a mortal becomes a god, something named 'Divine Trial' happens.

The entire world becomes your enemy, it is as if they are trying you deny you the path to godhood, and send forth a 'trial', something like a punishment of the World's Will, and well, a challenge.

Such challenges are powerful, they're 'beings' made out of divinity that represent the natural disasters within other things, and they're incredibly strong.

And I want to be prepared for that whenever it happens to my family, so I better become a Living Deity first…

Anyways, there are still many Skill Points left… and I have not even drunk the Elixirs that come with even more, so there is still some more Class Change left.
