I reappeared at Kamar-Taj, my paranoia telling me to make sure both Mary and Laura were safe. I was sure they were because of the little necklace I made them wear that always told me their vitals, but the safety of someone isn't just about their vitals, it's about their mind, if the soul is still present, there are several ways to kill someone while keeping their bodies alive, and I am sure Gods may have a way or two to do that.
Once I headed where I knew the two girls were, I saw them taking a nap on my bed, the stuffed toys, golems made to protect the two, right between their arms. I think I could have filled an album because of the sheer amount of photographs I took of them.
While doing that, though, I checked if everything was alright, checked the stability of their mind, if the soul was present, and any signs of damage that didn't resemble the ones they usually gained when they trained with Yao.
Finally letting a sigh of relief escape, I headed outside, where I knew Yao was waiting for me.
" You have ascended." No question was asked; a statement of the reality that he could feel, his connection to magic just below mine at this point.
" The other Gods wished to speak with me."
" Zeus?"
"Zeus threw lightning after lightning and gave me a chance to inspect why his mana signature was so different from the ones of normal lightning. There was something else fused in it."
" Divine energy, gained by birth or by belief, and you just learned it by yourself."
" Yep, I don't see what the problem is though. You didn't seem as worried when I learned chaos mana."
" Because cases of chaos magic users have existed since the creation of the universe, but a mortal learning how to use divine energy without having an actual religion? That is something that had never happened. Now, when people look at you like a God, your divine energy will actually react.

'Ah, well, that is useful.' At this, I am not even getting surprised by the amount of powers I gain every time I learn a new mana type. Now that I think about it, it's been quite some time since the last time I bought new perks.
" Well, Yao, I am sure I will be careful about the things people connect to me when calling me a god next time, see ya."
I went to the zombie dimension, the only place I was sure I could be alone for some of my shopping spree.
'Hmmmm, choices, choices, choices, I need to gain some firepower, all I have are utility perks, and the ones that focus on firepower are all related to Str, so not that useful to me.'
'Oh, that's interesting, that one can help me a lot, can't go without that, ok, that is broken, and if I add this one, it becomes even more broken, let's also add this just in case.'

You have bought 6 new perks:
Magical muscles (250 Str and Int 500)
Effect: The bonuses that were given to physical damage now also increase magical damage.
Weightless Body (250 Dex)
Effect: If during flight, your MP were to run out in the middle of the sky, instead of dropping like a sack of potatoes, you will slowly fall like a feather. This effect can be turned on and off.
No Peeking (Mind Fortress Max level)
Effect: Information Gathering doesn't work against you, scrying spells fall apart, precognition fails, and cameras stop recording, mind-reading won't ever be a trouble.
Blue Mage (True Mage max level, God of Mana, Chaos Eyes)
Effect: The enemies you kill will reward you with the highest-level skill they have.
Synthesis (Gamer Level> 50 and for possession of more than 50 skills)
Effect: Use this special function to fuse skills and create more powerful ones. It has a chance to fail and consume the skill if the combination has skills that don't match each other. The skill will restart from level 1, but each level gives a much higher bonus than the single skills did.
Prerequisites: The skills combined must have reached max level.
Alchemical Instinct (Chemistry Max level)
Effect: When trying to mix things, you will have a hunch if said mix will cause problems, or if it will not.

'Let's try this out.'
Willing for the new connection to the new Gamer power to activate, a screen with a cauldron in it, surrounded by all of my skills, appeared.
I felt Alchemical Instinct take effect like I hoped, whispering ways I could fuse skills; it never said the skill only took effect for the chemistry of alchemy; it said whenever I mixed something.
'It's time for some clean up.'
