CHAPTER 54: DIVINE ELIXIR

’It’s Suspicious...’

I thought with a look of caution

After all, from the moment this woman saw my face she got all nervous and docile

Like she is on a date for the first time

’Perhaps she got charmed by me’ I reasoned in my head

But I don’t think that’s the case for her to be like this

After all, she is a goddess

And quite a well-known one at that

To be honest, I expected her to be more arrogant and bitchy

After all, there is nothing good known about her in the myths

"So why am I brought here" Still I asked her the question that had been bothering me for a while

"And why did he say I smelled like you Goddess Aphrodite"

Aphrodite paused on serving the wine she had bought and turned her head away in nervousness

"Aha no no it must be a misunderstanding Reguleon has gotten quite old you see" she tried to deny the words

But I was sure now

Something was truly going on and I needed to know what

"I see then can you answer this question of mine" I began with a serious look

Aphrodite sat in front of me and smiled in response

"Go ahead I am not bragging but I know most of everything in the world I can even give you tips to win this game without doing anything"

She said confidently and crossed her arms to emphasize her chest

’Hmm they are Huge...’ I thought with a serious look and took a deep breath

"I was told that I was born with the legacy of a dead god so who is that god I want to know"

This was the question I ignored for a long time

Who was this god who my eyea belonged to

At first, I thought of this as something I could never know

But now that I am meeting an actual goddess who seemed as if she knew me

I have to use this opportunity

Aphrodite had a look of hesitation and unwillingness

But she sighed and muttered

"Unfortunately you are too young to know that"

She looked into my eyes with a grave look

"But are you sure you still want to know it"

I realised that this might be more serious than I initially thought

But still I wanted to know

"Yes please tell me"

,

I wasn’t willing to leave until I knew it

Aphrodite sighed again and began explaining

"First off Divine Legacy as you call it is not just an inheritance from a dead god.

It’s actually a plan the Divine beings used when the Age of Gods began to end.

As the world slowly forgot about the divine, the gods lost their connection to humanity and their ability to interfere in the mortal world.

To keep themselves from vanishing completely, they would take a core part of their divine power which is their Divine Authority, and give it to a select group of humans.

These chosen people then become living proof of the gods’ existence, ensuring the original legend and power continue to live on through them."

After hearing her explanation I had a look of shock as I understood the significance

"I didn’t know gods were this affected by just the disappearance of their fame" I muttered in disbelief

But Aphrodite shook her head "It’s not that we could die or grow weaker if mortals forget us"

She clarified "Essentially gods are Divine spirits and every spirit needs to have their name known or their existence will not be able to interfere in the lower world and it’s the same with Vampires werewolves Demons and fairies because every supernatural is a spirit of some sort"

Huh seriously....

I guess that’s why Mother-in-Law emphasizes getting a new name so much

"So does that mean I am one of those select few humans" I asked and continued "And then since the only effect I came to know from my eyes is charming others so is this legacy from you"

However, Aphrodite shook her head again

"No I am not the one who gave it to you and I can’t say who did because I am not allowed to" Her face took on a sad look as she continued "But I can say one thing that God who you got your eyes from is no more"

As she uttered those words I could feel the silent pain in her face

A look of someone who truly misses someone from the bottom of her heart

But suddenly she changed her expression to the same bright and cheerful goddess as she said

"Ah let’s not talk about that Since this world soon closes soon I can’t keep you here for longer" and added "However I can’t let you leave-handed handed"

Then countless pink light particles collected on her palm as a vial filled with pink liquid appeared

"Here take this as a gift from me" She handed me the glass container and gave me a smug smile "No need to thank me I know you need this"

I accepted the Vial of strange liquid and asked in curiosity.

"What is this and why do you think I need it"

I held the Vial of pink liquid and felt an intense amount of energy emanating from it

"That’s an Elixir and no it’s not the cheap copy that witches made but an actual Divine elixer that can cure anything" Aphrodite explained calmly

"Is that so thanks but I don’t think I have any need for this now" I said thankfully but Aphrodite shook her head and added

"Yes you need it after all your body is barely holding itself together others may not notice it but I can" She continued with a solemn expression

"Your Bloodlines are barely holding themselves together due to your human blood and even that fragile balance seems to break at any moment

And if it does break Then Dear...

I can’t guarantee your survival"

As Aphrodite said those words I was already sweating buckets from something I remembered

Now that I think about

I was the one who broke the balance between my bloodlines

Didn’t know it would bite me back so quickly

"Then this Elixer will help me right," I asked twirling the glass vial carefully

"Indeed. This elixir won’t just patch you up; it will fundamentally re-engineer your biology," she explained.

"It will evolve your human lineage, enabling it to act as a stabilizing foundation that finally brings your disparate bloodlines into permanent equilibrium, significantly strengthening you overall".

However, I remembered something I almost forgot

"But we are in a game and this isn’t my actual body," I said with a worried look.

How will this help my actual body

"You don’t need to worry about that since this is actually your real body," Aphrodite said reassuringly

But I was confused

"What do you mean Isn’t this the game world" I asked not understanding her words

Aphrodite giggled and said "This is my sanctuary do you think a god would allow a mortal to disrespect them by appearing in a fake body"

And then got close to me and held my hand "If you don’t believe my words then try to leave your immersion"

I felt her breath on my face as she said those words

However, when I tried to do anything like remove my headphones to look away from the monitor I assumed was in front of me

But I couldn’t

"Then I am really here in my real body" I uttered in shock

Aphrodite nodded "Yes from the moment you entered my sanctuary you were in your real body"

Hearing the explanation I let out a somewhat relieved sigh

’Well at least I won’t have to worry about my body anymore’ I thought and prepared to drink the elixir immediately

However, before I could make the liquid enter my throat

"But it has side effects," She said interrupting meinterruptingFuck I was this close to drinking it you should say that first before anything

"Ahem So what is thisoSide effect let me tell you if it’s anything crazy then I will rather find a different method than drink this"

Aphrodite waved her hands nervously and said hurriedly

"No it’s not exactly a side effect it’s just that since it’s an Elixer made by me I had to use my divine authority So you might have an increase in Virility and affection towards your loved ones increased it’s not anything crazy"

"Huh? You don’t mean it will make me a retard or hopeless in love with anyone" I asked wanting to confirm the side effect

But she shook her head in denial

So it’s just that huh

Only the affection towards loved ones increased but that isn’t a problem

And about Virility...

"By Virility you mean my Sex drive will also increase" I murmured with a strange look

How much more can it increase huh I thought I was already a beast after becoming an Incubus

Aphrodite had an embarrassed face as she looked down and said in a whisper "Ah that is also an effect but by virility I meant your chances to have children will increase a lot"

’If that’s the case then I don’t need to hesitate anymore’ I thought relieved from the worry and took the Vial close to my mouth and emptied it in seconds

Gulp..

After consuming The elixer I didn’t feel any change in my body

Until I felt an intense amount of pain extremely familiar to me

"Damnnnnn!!!!!!" I screamed, the sound muffled as he hit the ground.

The elixir exploded within my core, turning my Human blood into a superheated crucible.

The intense pain was the violent, forced convergence of my five other bloodlines.

My body was simultaneously torn apart by the brute Werewolf strength.

Blood frozen and burned by the cold Vampiric power.

Rooted in the ancient Druids’ stability,

Overwhelmed by the chaotic magic.

And finally smoothed by the magnetic Incubus essence.

It was the agony of forging and reorganising the body.

The elixir used the evolving human foundation to force every conflicting power into a single, cohesive current.

The pain agonising me receded slowly, replaced by a sublime stillness.

My power was no longer divided into parts fighting for control, but one perfectly harmonized and immensely amplified whole.

I felt complete.
