After Kireina was asked by Hydros to be given a physical body reminiscent of mortals, she came out with several ideas… There were many ways for her to grant a physical body to a god at this point, which could be called something like Reincarnation, in a way.

​​

However, such a thing could only be practiced in exceptional cases such as Hydros, Megusan was also an exceptional case who did it to himself willingly. Megusan seemed to have used to be a male demon demigod, but after having its physical body destroyed and its divine core stolen, it was split into pieces and weakened tremendously, making it easy for him to see physical mortal vessels as good opportunities to ascend to godhood once again.

Megusan had been eaten by around 99%, leaving a small split soul inside an egg laid by his strongest physical vessel, the Giant Venomous Snake Lamia, this egg was where Nirah was then born.

Megusan case could be said to be incredibly unique, the small piece of its soul still contained plenty of strength compared to that of a mortal, and the vessel that became Nirah changed and managed to use this power that was tainted with Divine Energy. Megusan's mind was lost through his reincarnation, and a new being, Nirah, was born through the old demon demigod's split soul…

However, Hydros case was different, Hydros was devoid of the physical body and divine core, but his soul was not split into pieces, he was simply sealed into a different pocket space by Kheseerad for later use, but because he was cornered, he used him and other gods he had sealed similarly to create a distraction before getting eaten by Kireina.

An, unlike Megusan, Hydros would be getting a new physical body while its entire soul is mostly intact (just weakened). It was s different thing, as Nirah was capable of adapting well due to her soul only possessing but a small amount of Megusan's original power.

Kireina then began to think as she was reminded of the three eggs of the Moonfang and Sunclaw's Families. She had laid them as 'eggs', and although they were not divine souls… she should be able to do something similar with divine souls as well, such as Blaze, Lazuli, Hydros, and perhaps Geie.

"There are various ways for me to create you a body, but it would certainly be a first when doing so with a Divine Soul… so bear in mind that it might result in some errors. Now, I can give you some of the options right away, is it fine for you? You can think them all through until I find time to do it," said Kireina to Hydros, as Hydros release an excited chuckle.

"Sure, Kireina-sama! Please, tell me the options!" said Hydros.

"Hm, you've served me well against Kheseerad, if it hasn't been because of your assistance, I might have not managed to eat half of him… Anyways, the first option would be to become a fetus inside an egg that I will lay, this is a similar method to how I did it with Moonfang, Sunclaw, and Habitis. I will need some blood from you, although I doubt your soul can bleed, so I might end up requesting that of the gods around here that might be good with Water Attribute, I hope you do not mind. The blood is necessary for the new body to become strong and adapt to your divine soul better…" said Kireina.

"I see… Although, if it is like that, wouldn't I have to grow all the way into an adult?" asked Hydros.

"It might be the case… Or not, depending on the adjustments I give to the Egg and the fetus inside…" said Kireina.

"I understand… Though I would prefer an option that could give me something straight away!" said Hydros.

"Hm, for that, there could be the option of generating you a new body… but there are many ways of doing it, there ones that can be using my flesh, by giving you one of my True Body Clones as a vessel, similarly to Blaze. Although I am planning in making her reborn through an egg sooner or later, as a True Body Clone won't let her develop her strength…." Said Kireina.

"I see… Although I would be so glad to become closer to you, Kireina-sama… Perhaps something else might be better…" said Hydros, as Agatheina was heard to be groaning in anger… perhaps a bit of jealously.

"Okay, then the other would be to forge you a body through merging many materials through a ritual, for that, you would need to descend and be part of the ritual as well, through that, a new body matching the desires of how you want to look like might emerge from that… I will try to use Divine Beasts flesh and other body parts as materials for it, so it can be a strong physical body, I might give you a few parts of my body as well so it can get an extra tiny boost" said Kireina.

"Oh! That sounds quite convenient, Kireina-sama! I suppose that would be the best one… But are there other options that I might be too hasty to hear of yet?" asked Hydros with curiosity and a bit of fascination in his voice tone.

"Well yeah, there are other ways of doing this same method, but it depends on your preference. Do you desire an Undead body? A Living body? A Slime Body? A Half-Ethereal Body? A Golem Body? It all depends on your preferences at this point" said Kireina.

"I see… So I get to choose… I would like to be alive, if possible… and well, a body made out of flesh should also be what I seek. Though, putting it like that, the other types of bodies also have their benefits, such as the Slime Body regeneration and ability to change its shape, or the ethereal body… Haah, it is quite complicated" said Hydros.

"It might be possible to make you a new body containing a bit of everything as well if you want to benefit from it all and don't mind becoming a chimera of sorts," said Kireina.

"Well, as long as I can get to be woman… I think it should be fine…" said Hydros.

Kireina was still a bit surprised at how Hydros desired so much to be a 'pretty female', despite having been a man before. She remembered how much she disliked her gender-bending in Genesis, and she had several months to cope with it until she accepted it and even embraced it, but Hydros seemed to seek it as if it were its goal.

Kireina could not help but think that Hydros might have had some kind of gender dysphoria when he was a mortal or something similar. In a dog-eat-dog world filled with wars, it is hard to find some time to dedicate to analyze one's own mentality and what you truly desire to be happy, often just surviving is enough for most of the weaker gods of Genesis…

Perhaps Hydros himself did not realize it, or perhaps he was now using the opportunity to embrace it while also taking the chance to, perhaps, attract Kireina, and even earn her side as one of her several concubines… Hydros thought that it would need to play its cards very well for that, even more with such a strong adversary as Agatheina, who had already forged quite a good relationship with Kireina before it!

"Okay then, I hope that you do not regret it later… Well, you might end up becoming both genders I think, and through the slime-like shapeshifting, you might even be given the chance of switching around, it could be a nice new creation for my experiments… How about we begin it tomorrow morning? I am rather curious about the results. I wonder if you would be recognized by the System as a mortal or not…" said Kireina.

"Tomorrow! Really, Kireina-sama?! I cannot help but be filled with joy! I have just met you yesterday, but you have done so much for me already! I can only dedicate my entire self to you from now on~" said Hydros with a coquettish tone… although it was currently just a mass of water with a floating eye inside, so it wasn't that sexy, to begin with.

"Alright, I am looking forward to it as well… Now, time to switch topics and talk about what I really came here for…" said Kireina as she spoke to Agatheina now.

Agatheina, however, was heard by Kireina gnashing her teeth loudly.

"K-Kireina-sama, your benevolence knows no bounds… But I still have to question… Does Hydros deserve such nice treatment while being just a newcomer…?" asked Agatheina.

"It's the least I could do, I am also willing to help you out in anything if you want, Agatheina," said Kireina with a friendly tone.

"…Eh? Really?!" asked Agatheina, as her mind began to be clouded by lewd thoughts.

"Yeah? But I have not planned in doing anything that you are thinking right now… But for other things, it should be possible… Though I doubt you want a new body. And I am sure that I already gave you a Blessing and you're even enlightened too…" said Kireina.

"Ah! I guess that is that… Anyways, Kireina-sama, what did you wanted to consult with all of us? As the leader of our Pantheon, we are willing to answer all and any questions, and give you as much help both in strength and knowledge as we can" said Agatheina.

Knowledge, Strength. Both of the best tools to survive in a world like Genesis, without them, Kireina would be already dead. Although one can steamroll through problems with overwhelming strength, knowledge, and intelligence can be used together to solve such problems as well… however, when both of them are combined into a single individual, both strong, knowledgeable, intelligent, and cautious, a true monster might have been born in the world.

Kireina was such a being. She could always just be content with her strength and try to do everything with it… but instead, she chooses to gather knowledge, intelligence, plan things out several times, and to top it all off, she is incredibly cautious. Perhaps because she can combine all these traits into herself, is why she was able to trap the three gods despite them thinking that they should be capable of escaping at best.

By gathering knowledge and planning several steps from her enemies, she can put her strength and varied abilities to their best use possible. Agatheina and the other Gods of her Pantheon were already aware of Kireina's nature, and her insatiable appetite for both power and knowledge, she would often ask for almost anything from them… although it might seem irritating, many of the gods were fascinated with her, and would happily talk for an eternity with her if they could.

So Kireina decided to ask about the Dungeons and why hers was special in the ability to merge with others and exponentially increase its power, while also asking about the Dungeon Skills awakenings, and how easy it was compared to other Gods.

"Oh, the Dungeon merge…? That's… Yes, Kireina-sama, Gods have practiced the combination of dungeons before, but these are often very rare, and only done when the gods are unified… The central continent for example has what could be called a 'Great Labyrinth', where many of the allied Gods decided to merge their Dungeons willingly while taking a share of the Divine Energy earned from them… This enormous labyrinth extends through most of the Central Continent and brings both nourishment and challenges for the humans there to grow constantly. It could be said that your dungeons are something similar, but it still has to grow more by 'devouring' more dungeons…" said Agatheina.

"However, about the 'devour' thing, no, there has not even been anything like that before, Kireina-sama. It seems that Devouring Dungeons through your main dungeon brings more benefits than simply merging dungeons through the pacts and alliances of gods… We suspect that such ability might have been inherited from your Devour as some kind of 'attribute' or 'quality' after you gave your mana and soul energy to the first dungeon core you used to create your dungeon…" said Morpheus.

"The Great Labyrinth… I see how it is. So what I am is rather unique… Oh, I wonder what could happen if I were to conquer that Grand Labyrinth and let my own devour it! It might be a delightful scene…" said Kireina.

"That is a wonderful idea, Kireina-sama, though I believe we are not yet strong enough to confront the central continent and the gods there, who are too many and stronger than some of us," said Agatheina.

"Yeah, I am not particularly worried about the heroes there, but more about the Gods… there are like dozens and dozens of them there, right? It is like a nest that needs to be eradicated…" said Kireina.

"We must be careful about now, Kireina-sama. Grow as much as you can with your family as we will too. We are not sure if the Supreme Gods would ever take place in such a fated confrontation… Although I have an itch that it might not be the case, as the Realm of Vida is simply one of the many Realms that they govern…" said Agatheina.

Kireina learned once more about the world she lived in and the consequences of her actions, alongside the 'fated confrontation' that would one day occur of her against the central continent heroes and gods. For now, she remained low and strengthened herself and her family for the time to come.

Agatheina was a wise advisor, one that Kireina clearly needed for a while, and now with her at her side, her mind seemed more clearer about her goals and challenges to come…

However, for now, she said goodbye to the gods for the day, resting in her bed alongside her vast group of lovers, who she loved dearly more than anything.
