Chapter 144: The Only Path is Divinity

"WHAT!..." I yelled, nearly dropping the black potion. "ME!...A GODDESS! You've got to be joking."

I couldn't wrap my head around the idea. Becoming a goddess was just unthinkable, something that could only happen in the dreams of an ordinary girl like me. And now... now the woman I love was telling me to drink the damn thing and become a goddess.

[Cough...Sorry Morgi... I don't have a choice. You're the only person I trust, and technically... Cough... you're a half-goddess already.]

"Excuse me?... A HALF-GODDESS?" I yelled again, shocked by what I was hearing.

"Okay, okay, calm down. I don't understand any of this," I said, rubbing my temple, trying to organize my thoughts. "Just slow down and explain."

Taking a deep breath, I focused on listening to the recording, absolutely sure that Lilith would explain.

[To give you the body you wanted, my love, The Breeder, I had to use a part of me to create it. As a result, a tiny bit of my divinity is inside your soul. So right now, you're the only one fitting to take my place since your own body could handle the ascension.]

"..."

I was speechless, staring blankly at the black potion in my hand, absorbing everything Lilith was saying.

"Me?... a half-goddess," I asked, unsure how I should react to that. "A godly creature among mortals. A being worshiped and loved by the people of the world."

"That's crazy, and impossible, a dream, a fairy tale."

"Am I ready for such responsibility? Am I capable enough?" I shook my head, rejecting the idea. "No, no, no, no, no... I can't become a goddess. This is not a game."

I don't know why, but something deep inside me was rejecting responsibility. The mere idea of becoming the goddess of a world terrified me, and my legs were shaking.

[I know what you're thinking, my love, and I understand. However... Cough... you must consume the potion and grow strong. The one that attacked me, my former friend, has already taken control of half my planet. It's only a matter of time before she finds you. The barrier I placed won't stay forever.]

"Great...just great, now a hateful primordial bitch is after me." I had to sit down; my legs were failing me.

[Cough... You have to become a goddess, Morgana. Hide and build your strength. You have one of the greatest growth potentials due to your breeder race.]

That's... true. My strength only kept increasing each day ever since I unlocked 'The Mother of All' class. My offspring, and their offspring, were the main reason. Each one was contributing a small percentage to my strength. But since I have thousands of children, that small thing would add up to an insane level.

[I left a few things that would help with your new role as a goddess... Cough... Cough.]

[Ahh!... First, the white mask. Wearing it would conceal your divine aura, making you appear as mortal. Secondly, use the key inside the administrator room, and you'll unlock my chamber in the tower. All the knowledge that you need is right there, among other things.]

"Great," I nodded with a smile. Knowledge is power no matter the world, and having more was always welcome.

[Lastly, the butt plug... cough... wait a second? Why is this thing here?]

"..."

'I guess she didn't intend to place the butt plug in the chest,' I thought, reaching inside the golden chest and pulling the plug. It was small and simple, about the length of my index finger, and a bit thicker.

[Ahem... sorry, Morgi. That butt plug just slipped my mind. Cough... Cough... I guess I don't need to tell you what to do with it, right?]

"Yeah... yeah... of course," I chuckled, dropping to all fours, and without wasting time, I inserted the plug inside my ass. The thing was small; I barely felt a difference.

[Oh... one quick note: the butt plug is a magical artifact, and its special function is to change the size to whatever you like. Plus, it can absorb mana.]

"That's cool," I grinned, standing up, taking the white mask and the weird-looking key, and storing them in my inventory along with the potion.

[Before I finish this recording, my love, I have to remind you of a few requirements before using the potion. First, your womb must be empty. The ascension would affect any pregnancy, and you wouldn't want to harm your daughters, right?]

"Of course not," I nodded, recalling the pregnancies that were developing inside my 'Dimensional Womb.'

[The other thing is to consume the potion inside the administrator's room. Since you're immortal there, be warned, Morgana. It would be painful, and you'll fall into a coma for three days to a week or two, so plan first before acting.]

"Oh... good to know," I said. The last thing I needed was to fall into a coma without anyone knowing or doing any preparations.

[Cough... alright, Morgi, I have to end this recording here. Take care of yourself. You'll find everything you need in my chamber.]

[Ascend to a goddess, my love. Take dominion of my planet. Don't worry about me, I'm still a primordial—you'll only take the divinity of my world.]

[When the time comes, I'll be reborn and take my place by your side... Cough... I love you more than anything in this universe.]

Click!

The recording ended with a soft click, and a moment later, the golden chest began to vanish, turning into small orbs of light, dissolving into thin air.

"Well... that was... something," I said, standing to my feet, staring at the spot where the chest once was.

"Goddess... huh," the word kept ringing in my head, and for some reason, the title felt familiar like a distant dream.

'The more I think about it, the more I feel weird. Like the idea isn't new to me, like I know I'm a half goddess already.'

"Sigh... let's go back first, and then I'll think about it."

I was hesitant to use my authority as an administrator here; there was a chance that I'd lose the items I gained. So I began searching the secret room for a way out. After a few minutes, I found a purple magical circle right behind the balance. Stepping on it, I was teleported back to the first-floor boss room. From there, I teleported again using the device to the second floor, and from there, I left the tower.

After checking with Celeste and Azura, I found out that only two hours had passed. I left a message for Rhea and Fenrir that I wanted to talk to them tonight, then I teleported back to the tower as administrator.

"Welcome back, Mother. How was your hunt?" Lilis asked with a bright smile the moment I materialized inside the room.

"It was fun, and I gained a few things," I replied, patting her head. "And how are you with the NPC creation?"

"I finished it, Mother. They're all ready."

"That's great," I nodded with a grin. "We'll give birth to them when the time comes."

"Thank you, Mother," the little succubus smiled, jumping and planting a kiss on my cheek. "By the way... is there something bothering you, Mother? You seem out of sorts."

"It's nothing, I just have a lot on my mind," I replied with a faint smile.

"Anything you want to talk about?"

"No... not now, anyway," I shook my head, giving her a soft kiss on the forehead. "Sorry, my dear, I don't like talking about feelings. It's not for me."

"Okay, call me if you need me."

"Thanks," I said, ruffling her hair and heading toward my sex room. Once inside, I removed the door and made sure that Lilis couldn't enter and disturb me.

"Okay, let's see what you have for me, Lilith."

Opening the inventory interface, I pulled out Lilith's key, and the moment I did, a black steel door materialized before me. Unlocking it, I was met with a long corridor leading toward a single black door.

Stepping inside, my attention was quickly drawn to the paintings on the wall.

"Eh?... Is that... me?" I muttered, staring at the huge portrait on the right side. The woman was clearly me; she had the same face as me. However, she seemed younger, and her hair color and eyes were different.

The woman in the picture had long black hair, and her eyes were blue. The dress she was wearing was similar to those of the Victorian era—big puffed sleeves, a corset, a long dress, and a bonnet hat. The painting was old, and the colors were fading, but the woman was undoubtedly me.

'I guess I look good with black hair,' I thought, taking a moment to admire the beauty of the woman in the painting. Her blue eyes were captivating, and she looked stunning. I searched for the painting tag but found that the name was blank, as was the year.

Taking one last glance at the painting, I shifted my focus to the other ones. The next painting was of me again with black hair and blue eyes. However, in this one, I was wearing old knight armor and holding a sword. The picture was simple but beautiful, and I noticed a dragon emblem on the armor.

"Interesting."

The third was another version of me but with someone else, a man. The portrait was clearly of a wedding—a young man and a woman standing next to each other at an altar. However, the man's face was removed from the painting, and his name was also blank.

'Why is the man's face removed?' I tilted my head, trying to make sense of it. The only logical explanation would be that the past me removed it, as I could clearly see that I didn't look happy in that dress.

"I guess I'll never know," I sighed, shifting my gaze toward the next painting. This one was of me with my silver hair and crimson eyes, standing with a small boy with black hair and green eyes. "My son, I presume," I muttered, though there was no tag to tell me anything.

The last painting was the biggest and totally different from the others, and of a person I instinctively recognized.

"Lilith?" I spoke softly, staring at the beauty that was her. A pale woman with black hair and red eyes, sitting on a throne, wearing a simple black dress. Two curved horns adorned her head like a crown, and a long, pointy tail wrapped around her hand like a snake.

"Well... that confirms it. Lilith is a demon, the Mother of all demons."
