[Day 332]

Today things are slowly stabilizing some more in the continent where we are inside my divine realm, thanks to the effort of my army of Gods doing everything I want in exchange for easy-to-make rewards. The System Quest Board seems to be an amazing creation of my own! Enough to do all kinds of crazy stuff.

Yeah, I know I am abusing them… but not like I care… And those Gods that are close to me can handle things around easily and are even leading parties. The others that I don't care about might be dying a lot, but they come back anyways, and become more and more indebted to me, hehe…

Well, still, many had actually been making some nice money, but they quickly spend it around the shop to slowly gain some more power.

I am also selling my services as a Divine Trial and Heavenly Calamity slayer, although they had only called me twice for that, and it was fairly easy to defeat, I did it with some clones, to be honest, nothing too big of a deal.

On the side, I've been spending some time with my wives and kids, and also with my friends and allies. And in the meantime, I've been also using some of my split minds to create some new functions and powers with Andromeda.

My plan is… to be able to make it so everyone can have path jewels! Yes, I want to introduce this as some kind of item, or something… like a system everyone can have or create… you get it?

I want it so everyone can have their own Path Jewels and acquire those super Abilities they have, which are essentially stronger than skills.

I also want to find a way to make it so creating Path Jewels becomes easier. Perhaps making it drop from strong enemies? Or from Beasts? What if we could make them using beast pieces? Or a pile of their corpses? Or divine materials?

Maybe make them so they drop similarly to dungeon materials? Well, that would end up making them less unique I guess… But maybe if it can't be for everyone, at least for me.

Like what if I go kill a Great God? It could be nice that after killing it, it dropped a Path Jewel fragment or something! Wouldn't it? And with the powers of my new upgraded System Path Jewel, that might become a reality, especially with the System Designer Ability!

Of course, everything made with the System Designer costs a crazy amount of money- I mean, Divine Points! And if I want to create such an insane function, it will be hard or near-impossible as of now… I would need literal trillions- no, whatever is higher than trillions!

In resume, a lot…

But that's if I create it without any pillar and out of completely nowhere.

What I am saying is that to create these world-breaking systems, I would be making them from the ground up… Like a Supreme Goddess of System. I believe the System Master is capable of doing this, but not me… yet.

After all, from the info I got from Ervas and Veronica who had visited a Greek Mythology-like world, the System Master had visited that world when it entered into an apocalypse, and he had created a System out of nowhere there that used the power of the monsters that emerged from dungeons in that world. With that, we can say that he is undoubtedly strong. I would need giant amounts of energy to do what he does… Ah well, I am getting a lot from man sources now, but that's not enough!

So, to create my own System, I would need similar levels of power and energy than that one bastard, which I don't have. In resume, I can't for now, even as I am now.

But that doesn't mean I can't get a roundabout while still using System Designer. I just need a giant and powerful thing, something that harbors a lot of energy that I can stick effects into, the effects will be lesser, but over time, they will grow bigger and stronger.

Instead of creating a whole independent system out of it, I want to create system functions with special, law-defying abilities and stick them to a catalyst that will serve as their pillar instead of being created out of completely nowhere.

Which catalyst? Myself? It won't work, it needs to not be "me".

A person? Not possible, it might endanger their lives… at least not a normal god, nor my wives nor kids are included…

Well, there is one that could do it, and that one is also fused with the catalyst itself, it is the child between me and Andromeda, which is yet to "hatch" from its digital egg deposited within the Realm Core.

What I am saying is that the Realm Core is the perfect catalyst for what I want! I will stick powers into the Realm Core! And by doing that, it will grow strong too, it will be a relation of mutual benefit!

Amongst all the treasures I have, the Realm Core seems to be the greatest, and it is also an immense source of energy like nothing else around.

It is a powerful artifact that is probably equal to Supreme-tier Divine Rank artifacts! I have endless possibilities as the Core keeps growing by expanding the territory.

After I finish off the central continent, I can expand the realm core to the entire realm, and then, I might even be capable of annexing more realms I conquer and stuck them together to make the realm core even stronger.

After all, the Realm Core is something similar to a baby World's Origin Core pretty much, which has endless possibilities and can even create Laws and more, so if I develop this, it might one day turn into an actual planet's core.

Wait… What if I keep fusing Realms into it until it actually just becomes Genesis from the past? Wouldn't that be quite… insane?!

Well, as I thought about it, I decided to discuss it with my council of wives. Andromeda and Faylen were here too.

"I see how it is. So you plan for all of us to get Path Jewels as well? And to make some new ways to get dropped items through the absorption of energy from the foes we defeat, such as like when a dungeon generates items after a monster is defeated? I see, I see…" said Zehe while rubbing her chin.

"Indeed, I was thinking what you girls think about it. I was also wondering over its pillars, and the Realm Core seems like the ideal one," I said.

"Hm, certainly…" said Zehe.

"In fact, it is, Master! The Realm Core is the strongest treasure you possess and also the biggest one you've created. Don't worry about our child inside of it, as it is slowly fusing with the Realm Core, it will only grow stronger when you add such functions," said Andromeda.

"Phew, that's quite a relief… But I did good in asking you beforehand," I said.

"Indeed, I really appreciate that you did!" said Andromeda.

"Now, about the things previously spoken about, I do have some insights and suggestions," said Charlotte. She was a smart girl, I think she might be smarter than me in a lot of things…

"Oh? What is it?" I asked.

"Have you thought about using your Origin Core?" she asked.

"My Origin Core… I had thought about it, but it seems to be something different, it is also part of me and my soul, using it as if it were an artifact is wrong, and although it is where the system is fused with… It might overcharge if I infuse it with effects or things such as those," I said.

"Hm… I see. Well, then what you could do is partially connect to it with your Realm Core. The Origin Core is very important, it is where all of your Primordial Essence gathers. If you can connect it to the Realm Core, it will receive an extra boost on power… but it would be based in your Primordial Essence," she said.

"I see… Well, I kind of understand that point. And you're right, it might work… It's worth giving it a try," I said.

"Charlotte's suggestion seems interesting, but what about all of our Origin Cores?" asked Zehe.

"Eh? No way! All of you are important to me, I can't use you like batteries!" I said.

Although they were moved by my words, all of them were willing to do this, however, I rejected such an idea.

"Phew… Well, I really appreciate how much you care about us, but still… Oh well. We just wanted to do something that could help you gather actual power- Wait, amongst the effects, you plan to make, can you make something that could let you gain Law percentage and Attribute Particles faster?" asked Zehe.

"Faster than now? I don't think so… I am already gaining it passively by devouring elements," I said.

"Hmm…" Zehe seemed to think about something, but Charlotte came with an idea based on what she suggested!

"Wait… You said you wanted Path Jewels as drops? But what about other things? What about Attribute Particles drops as… Jewels or something? How about a way to actually learn things such as Law percentage from absorbing certain drops?" asked Charlotte.

"Oh, I had eaten many Gods, but I can't quite get their full power… you mean like getting Law percentage by an item they could drop? You're right… and even attribute particles? This could be amazing, even more, because it could also be used for all of you…" I said.

"Nice idea, Charlotte, I think you got it right," said Zehe.

"Indeed, I will consider it and see if it is realistically possible to make…." I said.

Suddenly, someone unexpected raised her small hand.

"Master… I was wondering something…" said the adorable Kjata, her fiery gaze and expressionless yet cute face seemed more beautiful than other days, she seemed to have gotten an idea. She is often very silent and calm, we snuggle together without talking much most of the time.

So I was very curious about what she wanted to say…

"Well, I and the girls… such as Kaguya and Oga have been slowly comprehending the Law of Fire… It is not yet 1%, and we are not yet Great Goddess like you… But still, we were wondering if there could be a way to connect our comprehension of Laws with you, and also our Attribute Particles… Like, not just fusion, but permanently," she said.

"Oh…"

Everyone began to wonder the same at the end, I had many specialists of a single element within my family, and there were often more than one over the same element. All of them were slowly comprehending their elements laws, and then I wondered if I could actually connect permanently with such power and use it as well, or stockpile it all? Stacking such comprehension and power…
