Zero was surprised by his status as he had expected his active skills to have increased but found out that rather than increase most of his skills went through an evolution and he had even lost a few skills. The major change he’d seen had been his passive skills which had doubled. His stats didn’t increase but now he could use the strength that he could tap into as a mortal.
Zero looked at his hand and found that was still the same but he had noticed that his hair's true length was unleashed. After his previous transformation Zero’s hair had grown until it reached his knees but Zero shifted it to shoulder length to keep it manageable but his apotheosis had revealed what he actually looked like. Zero needed a mirror to see his new form but there were none in this empty space so Zero thought of his room in the hotel and found himself instantly there without having to open a portal or gateway.
Zero was confused by this sudden spatial shift but he kept his focus and walked over to the mirror. What Zero saw surprised him a bit as he still mostly looked the same and the only thing that had changed about him were his eyes. Before Zero had a normal left eye with an amber iris and a purple right eye with a black sclera. His eyes both now had black sclera with purple irises and vertical glowing amber slit pupils.
Zero also found that he was completely naked after the transformation. Zero went to the closet and grabbed some underwear and pants. Zero refrained from putting on a shirt as he planned to check out to see if there were any changes with his wings. Zero manifested them and found that his black wing had turned purple with bladed tips and that he now had 4 wings instead of 2. Zero touched the tip of a feather and found that it was incredibly sharp as it cut his finger with the slightest touch. Zero thought these wings were dangerous to have around others and wished for his normal feathered wings. To Zero’s surprise, his bladed wings instantly shifted into regular purple feathers. Zero de-summoned his wings and summoned them again finding that the feathered wings were what appeared. Zero tried thinking of his bladed wings and they instantly shifted.
‘So I can control what my wings look like with a thought. I wonder if it works on other things.’
Zero then thought of his hair going back to should length and it instantly did. Zero was curious as to what this ability was and he would look forward to figuring out to what lengths this ability could alter his form. Zero then grabbed a shirt and then walked out of the room and took the elevator down to the lobby. When Zero exited he saw Yoko and Valna sitting down eating food. Zero was surprised to see Valna up and awake. He walked over to them and greeted them but they looked back at him with stunned faces.

“What’s wrong with you guys?” asked Zero
The 2 continued to look at Zero for a while before Yoko finally stood up crying and ran to hug Zero. As she got up Zero noticed that her stomach was bigger now.
‘Hmm, this is bad Yoko is crying just from seeing me and her stomach is bigger. Either I’ve been gone for a really long time or the children of demigod develop much faster than regular children. I really hope it’s the second option.’
“Yoko how long has it been sen you last saw me?” asked Zero
Yoko continued to cry in Zero arms and it took a few seconds before she said, “4 months” shocking Zero. He had expected maybe a few days to a week but to find out that it’d taken him 4 months to complete an apotheosis was truly shocking. From Zero’s perspective, he had seen them maybe an hour ago so it didn’t hit me too hard but seeing Yoko he hugged her tight while saying, “It’s okay everything will be okay I’m sorry for disappearing on you guys for so long.”
Zero spent the next 15 minutes getting Yoko to calm down but during the entire process, he didn’t take his eyes off of Valna. Normally Zero would have expected Valna to come up and try to calm down Yoko alongside him but she refrained this time. This made Zero nervous as he wondered if her entire personality really had changed or not.
After a while, Yoko finally released Zero and noticed that his gaze was directed at Valna so she said, “It’s okay we checked Valna out and while there are some noticeable differences she’s still mainly the same.”
Zero still had a cautious gaze trained on Valna so he asked, “What differences?”
“I’m less emotional about certain things and I have other emotions and desires about certain things that I don’t recall having before.” answered Valna who had remained silent
“What desires would those be?” asked a still cautious Zero
“I desire to bear your children my liege.” said Valna as she kneeled before Zero
Zero rubbed his forehead as he heard her answer and sighed, “Why me?”
“Because you’re the only male worthy to impregnate me my liege.” said Valna in a serious tone
Zero turned to look at Yoko who had on a look of discomfort. She sighed and said, “She’s been like that ever since she woke up. She still serves me but she’s developed a slight obsession with you and keeps talking about bearing your children.”
Zero looked at Yoko and then turned and said, “Valna” to which she quickly answered, “Yes my liege.”
“You’ll obey my order right?” asked Zero
“Of course I live to serve you however you desire.” said Valna
“Well then take this as an order from me. Let’s hold off on any talks about having my children for the next 15 years okay?” said Zero
Valna was silent for a few seconds before nodding her head and saying, “I understand my liege.”
“Thank you. So can you guy catch me up to speed on what happened in the last 4 months?” said Zero
