Female body painting. If you look at the result alone, it is no different from TS Beam, but the miracle applied to it is beyond imagination.

The most basic power of the God of Conception, the power that allows someone with an infertile body to become pregnant.

Akasha’s long-standing concerns, which could not be solved with any magic or supernatural ability, were resolved with a single snap of Eugene’s finger.

“Huh… What a foolish trick…!”

Akasha returned to her original form as a giant dragon as a polymorph. They thought Eugene had used witchcraft. No matter how much she changed her shell, actually changing her gender on a chromosome basis was a daunting task, even with the faith Akasha had accumulated so far.

However, Akasha, who returned to her true form, had no choice but to look dumbfounded. Gender has not returned.

“How about it, isn’t it what you wanted so much?”

“This guy…!”

Of course, it was true that the problem was resolved in that it was an unachievable love, but this was not what Akasha truly wanted. This is because sexual identity and orientation are completely different things.

“I know what you’re feeling, but wouldn’t that increase your chances of finding love at least a little? The other person is heterosexual.”

“You are the first to insult me to this extent… Don’t think I will just take your faith away, I will tear your body to pieces!”

“So…. They say you should say what you can.”

Another battle goes back and forth. Again, it was a meaningless exchange. Akasha’s faith magic could not pierce Eugene’s body, which was also covered in faith, and Eugene’s attack only eroded Akasha’s faith a little.

It wasn’t completely meaningless. If we continue to ‘nibble at it’, Akasha’s faith will one day run out. However, to see the end, it took an insurmountable amount of time.

“Keuuk!”

Akasha’s huge body staggered after being hit by Eugene’s kick to the stomach. Clearly, he was unable to adapt to his changed body.

Of course, in outer space, he does not actually have a body, but to put it conversely, this means that Eugene’s power has completely changed his soul and mind beyond his body.

And this kind of maladaptation was exactly what Eugene was aiming for. In a situation where both parties are equal, outsmarting the opponent is not only a way to become stronger, but also a way to weaken the opponent.

Changing the body into one capable of conceiving was an ability that perfectly matched Eugene’s faith, so it consumed very little faith or movement, so it was largely the case that Akasha was unable to defend herself.

“Ugh… If you return it to its original state even now, I will show you the last mercy…!”

So, even if you say things like that after first suppressing me? And I’m sorry, but I can’t put it back the way it was. It’s an irreversible ability.”

“What? Don’t lie!”

“It’s true….”

Akasha thought that Eugene could manipulate other people’s gender at will, but the reality was different. As the god of conception, Eugene can only create a body capable of conceiving. In other words, although it was possible to turn a man into a woman, the reverse was not possible.

Rather, it is impossible even if you use all the faith you received from Prinia. This is because changing a woman into a man goes directly against Eugene’s faith. Fuel economy is bound to be much worse than simply using faith for attack purposes.

Therefore, Eugene did not use this ability as much as possible. It was something that, once committed, could not be undone. Except for Akasha right in front of him, the opponents Eugene used this ability on were the druids who kidnapped his children.

To that extent, Eugene regarded this as a kind of ‘punishment’. In fact, the Druids worshiped Eugene, claiming that a miracle had occurred, and became a source of new faith.

“Aaaaa!!”

Akasha seemed to have lost her mind and attacked Eugene. Because it was despairing that it could not go back to the way it was.

To be precise, I was able to go back. However, in order to do so, he had to use up a lot of the faith he had stolen from other gods.

In that case, it is inevitable that Arjen’s original wish of reviving Hyers, his father, and controlling his soul will be lost forever. Since I was forced to choose between two options, it was natural to feel despair.

Of course, it was obvious which one to choose. Reviving Hyers was a wish that Akasha could not give up even if it meant living as a woman for the rest of her life.

However, it didn’t work for Eugene at all to lose his temper and go on a rampage when responding calmly wasn’t enough. In the end, it wasn’t long before Akasha’s body was completely destroyed once again.

“Heo Eok… Heo Eok….”

“Give up. There’s no hope now. Stella will be back soon too. No matter how different the time flow is from the lower world, Stella will be able to eliminate the demons in an instant.”

“Kkeuk… Hagye, hagye… Okay, that’ll do it.”

“What, let’s go to the underworld and fight again? I’m sure you know very well that there’s a body there so you can’t compete with me anymore, right?”

Even before she stole all the faith of other gods, Akasha had a hard time coping with her faith. Now that he has a faith that is on par with Eugene, it will be even more difficult to endure.

“Is it really necessary to fight?”

“What?”

“As always… Just as always. All you have to do is hold your breath and study further. As you said, there doesn’t seem to be any way to overcome the situation right now… keke…”

“No, I said my bad relationship with you would end as of today, right? I will find you somehow and see the end, so if you want to escape to the underworld, you can try running away.”

Unlike when you come to outer space, when you go down to the lower world, you have no choice but to go to where your current body is. Eugene knew that well, so there was no way he could miss Akasha right under his nose.

“Haha! You can never catch me. How do you plan to come to the Demon World?”

“You want to run away to the demon world…?”

In that case, Eugene thought that he might not be able to catch it. Demons were able to travel to and from the demon world at any time around Akasha’s lair, which had become demon world.

If Akasha escapes, Eugene has no choice but to ask Prinia to release the barrier in order to catch him, but that would be a bigger deal than a stomach.

“Then take care! Hehehe!”

“Wait!”

Akasha’s new form instantly disappeared right in front of Eugene, who belatedly stretched out his hand. No, it almost disappeared.

“Huh?”

“…?”

Akasha’s body, which seemed like she was going to return to the underworld at any moment, shook for a moment and soon stopped moving even a little.

“…What is it? Why isn’t it working?”

Akasha is so absurd that she even asks Eugene about it. Eugene, who of course didn’t know the reason, shook his head.

“Aren’t you guys…?”

“Don’t act like a fool! What have you done!”

“Why don’t you fool around, I’ve only ever touched your dick.”

“What a crazy guy!”

Two possibilities came to Eugene’s mind as he lightly harassed Akasha. One is that the law of causality is at work, and Akasha, who is not even a god, has excessive faith and is not allowed to exist in the underworld.

The other is that Akasha’s body in the underworld died. Of course, since the body to return to is gone, it is impossible to go to the underworld. To get there, you have to find another way, like Stella’s Descent or Prinia’s Residual Thought.

Either way, Akasha can no longer play games in the underworld. You will have to live forever here in outer space, wrestling with the gods. Akasha has taken away all of those gods’ faith, so now only three remain.

‘Wait… Could it be me too?’

Eugene tried to return to the underworld due to a sudden sense of anxiety. It was a reflex action.

“…….”

However, like Akasha, Eugene could not return to the underworld. With Stella descending, the possibility of demons being able to harm Eugene’s body was infinitely low.

In the end, the law of causality interfered, which meant that Eugene also had no way to return to the underworld.

“…Looking at your expression, it looks like you can’t go back either.”

Akasha’s guess was correct, but Eugene did not respond. Rather than trying to hide it, it was more a feeling of not wanting to admit it.

“Tell me. What on earth happened?”

Akasha does not know much about causality. I have no choice but to not know. Because they only have faith, they are not gods. In fact, Eugene had only recently learned about the concept.

“I guess the problem was that we were having fun fighting in the underworld. That world shouldn’t come to us.”

“What nonsense… No, there is no reason to deceive me when you yourself are in a situation where you can’t go back. So how do I go back?”

“Nothing. Even if there is, I don’t know. If there had been such a thing in the first place, you would have already gone after Stella or Prinia before you started feeling this damn sick, right? Do you think they are so good-natured that they saved your life after meeting you for the first time?”

“…Then there’s nothing I can do.”

“Contrary to your tone, you don’t look like you’ve given up on something?”

“It’s not that I gave up, it’s that I made up my mind. I decided that I would somehow take away your faith from this place, and take away the faith of Stella who will come again later, and then do my job.”

Eugene chuckled at those words.

” You were contemplating running away just now, but now that your escape route is blocked, you act stoic. If you can, give it a try.”

Eugene had lived much longer as a god than as a human. Having long since forgotten the concept of fatigue, he steeled himself once again and took up a fighting stance.
