Chapter 842 Preparing A Gift For My Daughter
-----
[Day 290]
I felt slightly shocked after I learned out of nowhere that Benladra had her own secret tiny divine realm! What's this?! Where did this even come from to begin with?! I didn't said anything yesterday because I didn't wanted to arise suspicion and leaving my daughter with her secret was better for now, I suppose. I didn't wanted to take away her secret nor do anything against it. I've always hated parents that meddle too much with their children's private lives and never allow them to have secrets. If Benladra finds that she wants to tell us, we'll listen to her, but until now, her Divine Realm is a secret I won't even tell anybody else.
Nonetheless, I was very curious about how the hell it even appeared, and why! She's not a goddess yet, I am sure of it. Her Mana Rank has yet to attain divinity… but the rest of her body is overflowing with it too… Is Benladra a strange case like Kate too? Checking her Status didn't revealed me this either.
[It appears she has developed new abilities some days ago without anybody being able to know, her powers exceed the System's jurisdiction over her capabilities, so it was impossible to display them in the status you can see. Nonetheless, it is still possible for me to analyze and discern it to tell you directly as I did yesterday]
I see… Is there any other divine secret she got prepared for me by any chance? Like, what is she now, and how did the divine realm appeared?
[Benladra seems to be something similar to you, a god yet not. Thanks to your powers of unique skills, your divinity is attached to such a unique skill and therefore it could be seen as if you're a normal mortal until you activate your divine power. Benladra had developed something similar for her own body, as she was born with the power of Heaven Magic, a special magic that only Angelic entities possess, she was always different. Her other abilities also enhanced her power, and the [Parental Bond] Unique Skill seems to have developed a mysterious new effect that allows Benladra to obtain a shared part of both of her parent's powers. Perhaps within them, she got the divine realm…]
Wow… If I am a cheat, my daughter is even more of a cheat! [Parental Bond] can do that?!
[Yes, it wouldn't surprise me if she could develop Chaos Affinity and even powers with it now that it has developed to this point. Such elements are also present in her, but are dormant… Her Anti Mold seems dormant as well, as she hasn't found any place nor need to use it yet… But is seems to have special and amazing capabilities.]
I see… Benladra is truly the biggest winner in all of this, huh? I kind of want to see her using chaos magic but I know it might be dangerous… Ah, well, whatever's the case, she got her small little garden of divine plants… I wish I could see it with my two eyes, but infiltrating it would be a hell of a task. Should I simply act friendly and get her to invite me inside? But she clearly wants it to be a secret… Hm, another one would be making a slime clone and shape it into some sort of creature friend pet thingy. Or I leave my daughter with her own privacy.
I am a bit concerned she might end up hurting herself though. Is this enough for my fathers instincts to go beyond common sense and do as I want? Ah, or am I overthinking it? Well, I might as well just make her a Spirit Familiar out of divine power for it, right? I can use around 10k just for her, and add a lot of materials… Maybe that'll make it permanent. Yeah, I had already thought about doing that just now anyways.
And I was right inside a secret room just for that! For this special spirit, I had harvested Benladra's hair that she leaves over her tiny bed, her scales that sometimes fall when she changes them, and my several other magical and medicinal herbs, alongside several kilograms of fruits, dirt, seeds, and all the love and care of a father! Meaning a ton of slime, my blood, scales, and so on! I even added one of my ribs there!
"Hm, this should be enough to make a permanent and ever-growing Spirit of low rank. You want it to be contracted with your daughter?"
Suddenly, a dream phantom emerged behind me from within a portal in the middle of space. It was the Venerable of Dreams, she guided me into gathering the materials to create a permanent divine spirit of low rank that can grow over time with my daughter.
"Yeah, that's the plan, just to have an extra eye on her."
"I see, then add your own eyes too, that should give you the ability to see through its eyes sometimes."
"W-Wait, my own eyes?!"
"Yes? You can regenerate them anyways, don't be a chicken now!"
"Okay…"
I quickly took out both of my eyes, it was atrociously more painful than I had imagined, but not as much as getting my soul torn apart constantly each night. The eyes grew back like fruits coming out of the flowers of plants, in just a few seconds, it was hilariously morbid.
"Done… This is enough?" I wondered.
"More than enough…" Said the Venerable. "I also hope you've not been slacking into adding materials to my own Egg!"
"I know! We have a deal, I am doing it every day, I swear." I sighed.
"Okay then, I shall aid you into the beginning of this process as you're bound to fail, your Spirit Creation Magic is too low rank. I cannot fully manifest in here, but through your connection with Belle it should be possible to aid your this much… There!"
FLASH!
Suddenly, a magic circle of enormous complexity emerged out of the ground, encompassing all ingredients.
"Spirit Creation!"
