Elmesia was still trying to process the shamelessness of the godlike figure until he opened his mouth, "If you have something to say then just say it."
"What are your motives for being here?"
"You don't know? I was here personally training my surbordinate. I'm surprised you didn't have someone spy on us."
"Weird for a god to personally train his follower." Elmesia scrutinized me for no reason.
"Speak for yourself. I'm a kind and caring god."
"And quite the inventive one aswell, You've made quite the reputation for yourself. People proclaim you as a God of creation. In fact blacksmiths pray to you before creating weapons nowadays. Who is the one creating such weapons?" She asked while pointing to the seven thunder of retribution by Gehrman's bedside.
" Believe it or not, that's actually me. Creating is my specialty so I decided to make that my whole brand. I do not claim to be a god of good nor evil, but rather one of innovation and progression. I want to push civilization to it's theoretical limits. Speaking of which, I have to begin my next creation."
" You are quite the ambitious one. I'll be honest, I want to commission something from you, I can pay you any amount you want in any form of currency."
" I'm not interested in pay, if your commission interest me then I will think about it."
" Ok then, I would like for you to create something akin to a labyrinth. I need a place to train and test magic for all my people. Gehrman told me you created an entire separate spatial dimension that you use for your domain."
Hearing her commission i gave some thought and decided on something, "Fine then, but then I'm gonna need some form of land to set it up."

Erald was currently questioning Elmesia, " My lady, are you sure it's ok for him to have free reign?"
" I can tell he has no ulterior motive and even if he did, what are we gonna do about it, you can't exactly stop a god so easily."
" Thank you Elmesia, I appreciate you looking out for me." I appeared in the room without a trace of my entrance. Both of the two were immediately shocked that they couldn't sense me.
" Is there something you wanted Pneuma?"
" No just came to tell you I'm done."
Both were shocked, it had barely been an hour since she gave the request and he was done, " How could you have done it so quickly."
" You're not interested. I made you a 100 floor labyrinth with each floor being the size of this castle and a barrier surrounding it that blocks out all those who haven't been whitelisted. The least you can do is say thank you."
" Dear god."

For my next project, I traveled to the forest of Jura, " Ah, how I've missed this place."
"And how we have missed you aswell." I looked behind me to find Treyni and Aisha behind me without me registering them, even bypassing Universal sense.
" Was that Formhide? No, that was Haze. How did you learn such a technique in such a short amount of time." I'm getting rusty, even with Haze, Universal sense would still be able detect them.
Treyni and Aisha just looked at each other in surprise, "You left some of your training manuals with us. Anyway, what is it that you came here for?"
" I want to know the location of Charybdis."
"What!"
————————————————
I exited the cave, and came out with the red core in my hand, the core was desperately attempting to devour me but could sense internally that I was a superior being to both itself as well as it's parent. Despite this it still attempted to devour me.
" Simon, I have to ask, are you gonna attempt to revive Charybdis."
" Attempt? No, I'm gonna revive it, kill it and then scrap it for parts."
————————————————
" Well that didn't last long." Y'all thought there was gonna be some sort of legendary battle but no, Charybdis wasn't near my power level was. The real challenge was trying not to lose any parts that I wanted to salvage.
The three, wait now four, Dryads looked at the corpse of the whale dragon completely destroyed, Treyni seemed a bit distraught from seeing such a being destroyed, " I have never seen a catastrophe class monster treated so disrespectfully."
I suddenly looked towards Aisha with a resolute expression, " Aisha, are you happy here?"
Aisha was caught off guard by my question, "What do you mean lord Pneuma?"
"If I were to offer you divine power, would you give up your life here and serve me directly?"
Aisha was in deep indecision, the three dryads wanted to step in but I gave them a fierce signal to not interfere.
Aisha came to and spoke with resolve, "I'm sorry Milord, but I don't want to lose this. I know it's a naive reason, but I enjoy my life here and even if it were for more power, I wouldn't give this up."
Aisha saw me reach my hand out to her, she closed her eyes, fearing I would do something aggressive.
But then she felt a warmth on her head, "Well said, little one." I was currently rubbing her head. I came in close and gave a peck on the forehead. The place that I kissed her forehead, a speck of light had shune and disappeared just as quickly. Suddenly Aisha's body erupted with immense power.
I looked towards Treyni, "You better take good care of her, or else I will intervene directly."
" Don't worry Simo- lord Pneuma. I will make sure that she is properly taken care of."
It was at that moment that I realized that Treyni had divine faith in me as not only a friend but also as a god.
With that thought I disappeared in fog.

I had replicated a version of Charybdis core and sealed it back in the cave.
I had collected the scales and the real core aswell as the megaladon meat. The reason I went after Charybdis is because she was, in essence, a gravity spirit.
I wanted to make use of her metal and core to make a new body, one with an affinity for gravity and integrate it into the body that it will be molded to and give the intended user of the body it's abilities.
"Simon, you called for me." Orion appeared out from my body.
"Yes, I'm creating a body for you here, but I realize now that it's not compatible for you." I had transformed the dragotite into draconic Hihi'irokane, to include divine properties. This body is now akin to that of a true dragon, but there was still something missing.
"Why not fuse me into the body?" I looked to the side to find the identity of the glitchy voice. Deoxys was standing there was resolute eyes.
"Is that what you want? There's no going back."
"I'm sure Milord."
————————————————
Deoxys's sacrifice was a bit bittersweet. Seeing one of my creations give themselves up like that, it felt like a hole was being carved out of my soul.
But now was no time to mourn. Orion was slowly integrating and adjusting to the body. The body would be considered a divine dragon viscous body and due to Charybdis's spiritual nature, it made Orion's integration much smoother.
As the constantly molding body began to move around its own viscous body and divine energy, I began to think, I don't really have to do anything about his evolution because he was already an awakened being.
As I was in thought. I felt the evolution happening.
[Commencing evolution from elemental lord into elemental draconic lord… successful]
[All physical abilities have significantly improved]
[The individual can now freely convert their body between material and spiritual matter.]
[Next, all skills and resistances already acquired by the old form will be re-acquired… successful]
[New intrinsic skills: Space transformation… Acquisition successful]
[New resistances: Abnormal condition nullification, holy-demonic attack resistance, Natural effect nullification, Physical attack nullification, Spiritual attack nullification… Acquisition successful]
[New extra skills: All-seeing eye, Chaos haki… Acquisition successful]
[Individual Simon has gifted you the ultimate skill: Israfil, lord of trials]
'And now begins the final integration.' I thought to myself as I fully merged into him the star of Eden into the bodies chest and the storm dragons cells into the body as a whole.
[Evolution of Ultimate skill: Israfil, lord of trials into the Ultimate skill: Varuna lord of sky god… successful]
[Sacrificing the unique skill: Evolution to the unique skill: Almighty… successful]
[Evolution of unique skill: Almighty into the Ultimate skill: Antevorta, lord of the future… successful]

(A/N: decided to get rid of Deoxys. I couldn't really fit him into the story.)
