Chapter 103 - One For All Bestower

"..."

A life had sprung. The swirling faith of life had constructed a new sentience.

The clone looked up to the ceiling, wondering what it was, where it was, how it tasted like. Its mind was empty, but because its creator had inputted all of the necessary muscle memory for a newborn to understand what was going, the clone immediately knew what to do as if it was second nature.

It stood, looking left and right, up and down. Just like an organic AI in testing phase, the clone was trying to use all kinds of muscle memory given because it was the only thing it could trust.

"A, I, U, E, O." A feminine voice came out of its open mouth, despite not having any gender. "Voice is clear."

It noticed the gothic clothing that was wrapping its body. It suddenly felt protected. There were too many questions yet not a single answer, but the clothes were cute so the clone stopped to question why the dress was worn by it.

The clone was so confused, yet excited. The moment it glanced at the exit where light goes in, it immediately leaped back because it thought that the light was dangerous. And because the implanted muscle memory for defending itself was to jump away, the clone ended up cracking its back skull on the ceiling.

The clone pouted while face planting on the ground. Certainly, the clone didn't like feeling pain and because MF implanted an acknowledgement chemical to make itself know that it had a creator, it started to blame its creator for putting this nonsense muscle memory into a newborn.

"Guh." It slowly crawled forward. With curiosity, it tried to put its finger on the light. "Not dangerous, I'm dumb."

Due to the error and trial, the clone captured the information that the light was actually not dangerous. It was just its undeveloped instinct to be wary, unlike a proper toddler where they wouldn't care even if there was a giant angry monster coming at them. MF had already made a highly intelligent and developed brain for her first creation.

The clone felt a soothing feeling outside. It was actually because of the lustful amount of mana looming on the land but the clone's soul hadn't been developed to detect their existence yet, so it only felt its effect.

One step from the determined clone, one step for the clone kind! It ventured outside and was greeted by the stunning view of orchestrating leaves, flowers and numerous exotic plants.

There were wisps and a few kinds of creatures. The clone was certainly interested in literally everything within its sense—the carressing wind, the dancing sunlight, the sound of nature. It was just a child after all,

But it felt extremely anxious when it hadn't met its creator as it was the only acknowledgement it had upon the new world it was going to tread upon.

"Creator… where are you…"

The clone's brain processed everything in great efficiency and was further driven by its immense stress. With only its instinct and innate muscle memory, the newborn ran to the center where all of the energizing thingy came from.

A flock of flowing tiny substances began to get crowded and crowded, illuminating the path despite the shining sun already doing its job.

"Pretty… No...! I can't be happy yet, Need to be stressed, need to find my creator."

The clone ended up getting lost due to the forestry. When someone started to get into the half center of Domeniul Ceresc, they would get lost if the divine energy was their only guidance because it was spreaded almost evenly that someone like the clone that didn't have any energy perception couldn't realize the direction they were going.

It would take a while before it met with its creator.

Meanwhile, MF was harnessing the four divinities she had to create a 'mark' which was made from the combined symbols of each portfolio.

Her body was coated with an intense amount of divine energy. Until eventually she condensed all of it onto a colorful orb floating on her palms.

"Wooaah"

"This is certainly something that a new pseudo-deity like me shouldn't be able to achieve." The Ouroboros grinned. "I did it anyway."

"As expected of milady!"

"Now, come step forward, and kneel to me."

The lesser minor deity happily kneeled like a knight, showing its utmost brilliance of loyalty.

The Ouroboros then infused all of her mana as the 'mark' began to shine brightly. Not only that a light formation was forced to appear due to the intense reaction of the mark, but it affected the surrounding space.

While doing the act, MF gained a new symbols pill in the process.

'One For All Bestower' symbols pill acquired.

The new symbols pill was strong enough to exist side by side with the ferocious Nerull's Bane. While the Nerull's Bane pill showed an abyss black color in her soul, the One For All Bestower brimming shone in righteous light—the white that could be the foundation of anything, the white that could bestow anything it had without losing anything.

In contrast to the inkish dark aura, the new symbols pill gave MF a kindred white aura. Both auras overlapped each other, living together with hate and harmony. A chaotic harmony.

MF didn't expect this at all. The timing was so awkward that she had no choice to continue instead of celebrating on finally having another symbols-pill other than Nerull's Bane.

Both of the symbols-pills influences were getting reflected into the surrounding space by the 'mark', turning the object into white and black as if both of them had transported onto another dimension.

With extreme excitement, MF began to chant her rites to her future Vassal Deity.

"Ki, the Lesser Minor Deity of Curse. You're still growing. Let it grow! Your soul will transcend those who didn't put any effort. Blooming, and churning. Hold your spirits ever closer to what you believe as the truth, send me your divinity as my extension to the truth!

"The risk is the height of all! Dance upon those corpses like your life depends on it! For those who will not dance in front of you, make them drink their fill! For those who are unskilled in front of me, make them drink their fill!

"May there be 'curses', on them and their offspring. May they be 'cursed', they and their offspring."

The 'mark' then bestowed. The Lesser Minor Deity of Curse got a fair share of access to her master divinity. The Nerull's Bane influence was transported and thanks to the One For All Bestower, the influence stayed permanently. The influence gave her the same aura as MF but weaker.

As for the Ouroboros, the 'mark' that was ingrained in Ki's soul had given the Pseudo-Deity a protection. No, it was more like a gratitude of a servant to their master.

'Protection from the Lesser Minor Deity of Curse' acquired.

Ki was permeated with enlightenment. In loyalty, she lives. The Vassal Deity looked up to her tall master's grinning face. With a faithful feeling, she replied to her master's contentment with a sadistic smile.

The 'curse' substances that were coming from her became more vicious.

"To those who oppose you, I shall make them drink their fill. May there be 'curses', on them and their offspring.. May they be cursed, they and their offspring."
