When Kaori woke up, she went out and let everyone know she was back. There were questions about where she was but she didn’t answer them. Kaori told everyone that she would be in her personal apartment domain and they could contact her via PDI if they really needed her but she wanted some time to herself. She could tell that she was making her underlings worried but she couldn’t be bothered to care at the moment. She just wanted to turn off her mind’s images of…

Kaori went back to her apartment and tried not to think of gods raping innocent and helpless women. The idea of it made her sick and enraged at the same time but she couldn’t do anything about it. It wasn’t her realm and she wasn’t supposed to be there in the first place.

Kaori tried to distract herself with reading a book but she found she couldn’t concentrate to read. She tried reading manga but the images of the old letch staring at the parts of the woman kept resurfacing. Kaori finally stripped and jumped in bed in just her bra and panties and tried to will herself to sleep. The images of the guy staring resurfaced and this time, it was as if the guy was looking at her.

Kaori sobbed in frustration but in the midst of it, she had an epiphany. His staring wasn’t all as perverted as she had taken it to be at first. Sure, he was a huge sicko pervert who should be a demon in hell not a god but she had figured out a small part of the mystery behind his actions.

He was choosing the features he liked. He would stare at the parts of the woman and the wolf. Circling the two of them and staring intermittently at different parts of each one. Kaori recalled ever instance that he had stared at a feature and thought of the end product. Sure enough, everything he stared at ended up as part of the final woman at the end.

Kaori still had no clue about the glowing golden energy but she sat bolt upright with a start. She knew of a method already of picking certain features of a person or animal out. Earth scientists had been mucking about with genetic research for decades. What were they doing if not picking the features that they wanted and putting them together. Scientists on Earth had even bred glow in the dark cats, dogs, monkeys, pigs, sheep, and probably other thing that she had never heard about.

Kaori made a new trip to Earth. This time, she visited regular book stores and bought up a huge number of books on genetics and programming. She got a bit lucky this time because the counter was off to the side of the bookstore and the clerk wasn’t paying attention anyway. There was a camera but it was pointed at the counter to discourage robbery and thieving clerks, not at the door. Kaori opened the front door right into her apartment and began a rigorous study session.

The study of genetics took Kaori nearly three days while the books for programming were all digested in the first couple hours. Kaori finally managed to see the patterns of the telomeres and the way the various parts of the DNA coding worked together. Once she figured out how to liken it to programming there was no stopping her. On the morning of the fifth day, Kaori had built a custom program for the PDI that was capable of doing the DNA and RNA comparisons and compiling a new viable code based on the characteristics that the user wanted to be dominant and recessive in the final subject species.

Kaori then used her BS godly powers to simply make a machine that would house the whole recombinant process and give rise to the new species. It had to be linked to a deities PDI so her people were the only ones who could use it currently but that might be something she looked into in the future. For now, Kaori had a huge number of species to begin churning out.

Kaori opened her book and opened the holding area for the new species she had purchased. She was a little startled at first when she saw all of the different plants, animals, and monsters but then she remembered buying them. Of course they would be here. Kaori noticed that the plants in the cylinders of light looked a little weird and then she looked and everything except the people were doing the same thing. All of the plants, animals, and monsters were a bit blurry with features that would change from moment to moment. Kaori realized that this was how the other species were made random.

Kaori contemplated trying to figure the randomization part of the light field out but decided that somebody probably made it so that it couldn’t be applied to sentients. Certainly there would be some kind of limiting factor like that in place. For now, she had to link the space here to her machine and start churning out all the different species shew would be using. Kaori was practically bouncing as she looked at all of the animals and people floating in their light cylinders.

When Kaori came through the doors at the back of her heavenly domain, all eyes shot to her. Something in the way she was moving or perhaps her aura told everyone that things were about to get interesting. Kaori came to stand at a spot between the two globes but just shy of them, directly behind the holo-tables with the maps on them. It was here that Kaori decided that she would be creating all of the various species.

She walked back to the door and gestured and the machine came out of the door and flew over to the spot she indicated. The machine was only about a meter tall, half that wide, and maybe three long as it floated into place. Suddenly, Kaori snapped her fingers and the machine expanded to ten times that size, easily large enough to hold the tallest giants. All of the other deities were bemused by Kaori’s activities and had long since stopped and gathered around to see what she was up to.

Kaori opened her interface and the app for the recumbinator. She reminded herself that she needed to make all of the various other apps for the PDIs after she finished this. For now, she concentrated on her program.

In the app, there were three spaces with an addition sign between the first two and an equal sign between the last two. She tapped the first space and it opened a menu screen and from it she selected the world first. This brought up a list that currently only had elves in it. She clicked on it and it brought up a picture and the name of every elf on the planet below. Kaori grinned at the program working as intended but then backed out and clicked the other option. It opened the storage space from her book and she selected the humans.

After perusing the pics, Kaori selected one of the women and it went back to the original screen. The picture of the woman was in the slot and when Kaori looked, she was floating in one of the spaces in the recumbinator machine. Kaori then selected a female house-cat and it appeared next to the woman in the other slot.

Now came the fun part! Kaori clicked on the picture of the woman and double tapped it to indicate that this was the base template and her DNA code was displayed next to her and flashed. She then clicked on the cat and in the expanded window clicked on the ears, nose, eyes, and tail, which all highlighted parts of the cat’s DNA code, before clicking the arrow to the side of the screen to import those features. She pressed the equals button and the result looked almost exactly like what she wanted but at the last moment she decided that she wanted to have the legs and paws of the cat for the bottom.

Kaori clicked on the equals button that was glowing green and there was a second’s pause before the end result updated. This time she hit the create button at the bottom of the screen and the new DNA code flashed and the third empty cylinder of the recumbinator glowed and a separate tube of red goop that Kaori was calling cell soup glowed too and began bubbling. The third tube then filled with a blood red haze for a moment. When the haze settled, there stood an adorable little cat anthromorph. Little was the key word there. She was barely over a meter tall!

Kaori looked at the woman in the first tube and wondered for a moment what she had done wrong. She glanced at the cat in the second cylinder and then did a double-take. After looking between the three specimens for a moment, Kaori had it figured out. This was a result of the height difference between cats and humans. She was a perfect blend of the two.

Kaori played around with the settings on the next one and found that she had put just enough of the cat parts in to force the height difference. The legs seemed to be the big difference and Kaori saved the settings for both species of feline anthromorphs. She was having a blast and the other deities were just astounded about her ability to make the new races. Tozenna approached her and whispered in her ear that the first one was a completely new species that she had never seen before at all!

Kaori just grinned at her and said just wait! Next up, kaori put the cat away and brought out a fish. When Kaori tried to combine the fish and the human, she was expecting to get a mermaid but instead, she got an error message that the two subjects were too disparate. Kaori frowned. She had set the program up to determine the feasibility of different species and apparently, this wasn’t how to get a mermaid after all.
