Chapter 175: Divine Story Crystalization
-----
I decided to call Peperina, who was luckily living in the pagoda for the moment, as one of my disciples too. I’ve been teaching her how to control her abilities, and we had a couple dates beforehand. I think she likes me too, and I like her as well; she’s adorable.
However, unlike my four other wives, she’s very discreet and wants to take things slowly, one step at a time sort of deal, and I’m fine with waiting as well until she feels ready… The same happens with Yanisse.
Alongside Mursha, Urbosa, and Merkite, all four inheritors of the Divine Beast Gods powers appeared… I couldn’t call Typhoon here, as he was the God of Elios, but that’s fine; I didn’t want to force him to help us in this, which is mostly our own selfish thing.
“So is it really possible to revive them if we use their power to create cores?” wondered Peperina. “I-I’m still a bit confused about how to do this though…”
“I don’t know if it could be possible to revive them,” I said with all honesty. “This is an experiment after all. However, their Essence which exists within all of you, could probably recreate them to an extent within the bodies of these Mechanical Gods.”
“I see…” Peperina nodded.
“The thing is, because they had already passed away, their consciousness might not return, and the resulting being might be something similar to a child of them instead,” I explained.
“I kind of get it now, yeah…” Mursha nodded. “I remember those damn huge golems were super strong, though. If we could truly transfer their essence into them and turn them into giant machines, wouldn’t they become super strong?”
"Yeah, I was thinking the same,” nodded Urbosa. “They could prove to be valuable allies and guardians, but I have a question… Won’t we lose our power like this?”
“I was wondering the same thing…” Merkite muttered. "Well, I wouldn't mind if we could revive them."
“Oh no, don’t worry, I won’t take the Spiritual Divinities you have,” I said. “I’ll simply extract the Essence of these Divine Spirit Gods within you; it’s a different energy and not their power. But something like… Hmm, like their ghosts, I guess?”
“I see… I was thinking that the Phoenix would simply live within me,” said Mursha. “But I… well, I wasn’t enjoying the idea too much, so I’m glad something can be done about that!”
“Me neither, honestly, so I’m glad as well!” Peperina nodded. “I wonder if the robot will become a cute rabbit?”
“I was wondering something similar,” nodded Urbosa. “Well, if that’s the case, I have no issues; what do you think, sister?”
“I’m fine with it too; let’s do it!” Merkite nodded.
It seemed they never really liked the idea of having their “Essence” residing within their souls, and me neither, so it was fine if we could extract them completely and place them in these robots anyways.
“Then let’s begin…” I nodded.
I quickly began walking around the large flat piece of land I had paved and placed every robot, setting up a strong formation using many materials, and my own Divine Photon Essence became solid, making it resemble liquid gold.
I created several nodes where all the girls would stand; this included Hekita, whose amazing “Spirit Creation” ability is what made it possible for Anubis, and then even Ra, to evolve and become even stronger.
With her and this formation I’m creating using my new Divine Ability, it should be possible to extract the pure Essence of the Divine Beast Gods without their powers inherited by my wives and crystalize them through Hekita’s Spirit Creation and my formation’s added energies.
Of course, I’ll also use my Faith and Divinities to add to the creation of these cores, the crystallization of the Essence of Gods, and the closest thing to the crystallization of a God’s Story, Myths, and Faith.
I am not doing this just out of goodwill towards Merneith or because I feel sorry for these robots… Well, I am doing this for that too, but there’s another reason. I want to analyze how these beings are created.
So I can eventually replicate them and create my own army of Mechanical Gods!
But to properly imitate this technology and then further improve it with my powers, it’ll take its time.
However, this entire ritual will be important as it will be able to tell me how the process is done so I can replicate it later and improve upon it.
“The Ritual shall begin soon; everyone, please walk into the nodes,” I said.
As everyone began walking to the huge formation, I gave a quick look at my System and its many messages.
After having fought my future son, I had gained a lot of power, or more like I had begun to rapidly gain the strength I was accumulating and evolved or adapted it through our battle.
At the same time, I’ve killed a lot of these “villains” from the other world, and they gave an incredibly generous amount of Experience Points.
Maybe because they’ve killed so many people themselves, it somehow adds up to their EXP value?

This one is quite funny in terms of descriptions. But it sounds rather decent. Once I find that spider again, I’ll make sure to kill her for good.
[You learned the [Balance Disruption Arts (EX): Lv1] Skill!]
Balance Disruption Arts became a new Skill?!
And one I learned right away, at EX Rank no less.
Is this because I battled my son, who was so strong I had to push myself to my limits?
So there are such ways to learn such powerful Skills, huh…
Now, let’s see my long status. It has been a while since I’ve had a refresher of what I have and not.

Interesting, it looks like I still got quite a few more slots for my Divinity Tree.
Alright, I’m done.
“Let’s begin then!”
After noticing everyone in their nodes, I nodded, quickly walking out of the formation and starting it up right away.
FLAAASH!
By using my [Divinity Tree Formation Of Heavenly Lotus And Demonic Hell (Demi Deity Rank): Tier 0/3] Divine Ability, I was able to turn the formation into an even stronger version of it.
The Formation’s shone brightly as countless magical circuits connected, flowing with spiritual energies and primordial Ki.
Then, from the bodies of Mursha, Peperina, Urbosa, and Merkite, masses of Essence and Spirit Power started leaking out.
Slowly, through Hekita’s Spirit Creation, these masses of energy were extracted and then placed on another node within the formation.
The Essences took the shape of each beast. Mursha had a phoenix made of flame-like essence, Peperina had a silvery-white rabbit made of moonlight-like essence, and Urbosa and Merkite had two wolves, one black and another white, made of darkness and light.
“Now… {Spirit Creation}!”
Hekita closed her hands as the Essences flowed directly into the nodes and then rapidly crystalized through her powers and mine combined together.
I took the opportunity to add my own Faith Points and also small fragments of my Divinity Tree—the little offshoot branches that weren’t important; I used them as materials.
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
And in that moment, they were formed: four marbles made of different colored crystals, beautiful marbles overflowing with spiritual divinity.
“It’s done…!”
The formation quickly came to an end, as Mursha, Peperina, Urbosa, and Merkite sighed in relief, feeling rather tired, but I didn’t notice anything wrong with them; they were healthy, just tired.
“Hahh… I thought it would take forever,” said Urbosa. “But it was very quick!”
"Yeah, but I’m so tired now…” Merkite nodded. “Ugh…”
“Me too…” Mursha gasped for air. “Phew…”
“Hahh… Uuugh… I want a nap now…” Peperina cried.
“Alright, sit down for now,” I said, creating comfortable seats for them to sit down and relax.
I washed their exhaustion away with my Techniques, as sparkles and veils of golden light helped them recover from this.
Merneith was fascinated.
"Wow, that was incredible! The cores were made!” she gasped. “Now we should reassemble the robots in the Pyramids! Leave this to me, please.”
“Alright then, Merneith, thanks,” I nodded. “But these are delicate; let’s bring them there carefully. Let’s go.”
The pyramids themselves were in my own Inner Realm, so with a mere thought, we were teleported inside.
The largest of the Flying Pyramids was that of Merneith’s stepmother.
It had a large reassembling factory, which we used for the machines to be reassembled and the cores placed.
Of course, we were helped by a lot of her people as well, who were living here too for the time being.
“Incredible to think you would be able to create new cores…!” her brother, Akhenaten, muttered in disbelief. “They also fit just right inside of their core batteries.”
“I didn’t do this; it was Bing Xue and her family,” Merneith smiled, looking at me with an adorable smile. “Thank you so much for honoring my gods like this, Bing Xue. I really owe you a lot now…”
“Haha, it’s alright,” I giggled. “I also needed to see how they’re assembled and created… I was thinking of eventually replicating Mechanical Gods with my own ingredients and creating an army of them to defend Earth and other worlds.”
“W-Wait, what?! Really?” wondered Merneith. “But aren’t you also raising disciples?”
"Yes, but my disciples aren’t thousands, and I’ll need that quantity to keep things safe from the ever-growing invasions and threats… So for now- Huh?”
RUMBLE!
Suddenly, as I was talking, the Mechanical Gods started moving out of nowhere, all four of them had already been given the cores, but Merneith said it could take days for them to readjust.
However, wasn’t this too quickly?
