This is the most difficult Rank. It is also where a lot of beings end up in after passing the Ascender Rank. It is also the most complicated rank of them all.
The Divine Rank comes after a Third Phase Ascender undergoes Ascension. Normally, in Spheraphase, Ascension happens when someone has mastered all their Pinnacle and Base Tethers to the absolute limit. But for Sentina Erideae and the Minafallen Students who were trapped in the Epoch Cycle, they all got a reward of reaching this rank. They only number to 5,000.
Divines have a lot of characteristics that they all share. All of this is obtained in the First Enlightenment Stage of Divines;
1.They all gain a Divine Core. This is where Divine Energy is stored. And as for pseudo-cores, if the Divine does not use more than one form of energy, then the pseudo-core will fuse with the Divine Core, making it larger to store Divine Energy.
2.They can stay without food or water for weeks. For Divines born from the generation of Deities, like Sentina Erideae for instance, they do not need food or water to survive. However, they can have it to have a sense of purpose and existence.
3.Their physical capabilities, energy pools, Pinnacle and Base Tethers are increased to ten times than that of a Third Phase Ascender.
4.Divinities are gained depending on the course of life someone took since childhood to the time they became a Divine. However, those from the generation of Deities already had their Divinities during their Ascension at the age of six but locked. But as a Divine, they are unlocked.
5. Essence becomes non-existent to them and is converted to Divine Energy. Divines NEVER use essence. They can use other energy forms if their Divinities, Pinnacle and Base Tethers are related to it but Essence will never be used by them.
6. They gain a Divine Transformation. This is the manifestation of the Divinity or Divinities a Divine has. It gets stronger with each Enlightenment Stage.
Which brings to the Enlightenment Stages.
There are SEVEN ENLIGHTENMENT STAGES in The Divine Rank, known from the First Enlightenment Stage/Rank to the Seventh Enlightenment Stage/Rank. The Divinities are separated into Four Divinity Classes, each symbolizing a different core modality of divine function. They include the Conceptual, Elemental, Physical and Spiritual Divinities.
