"I-I think I can make a humanoid shape… Ooooh! Uuuggh…! Nngh…! J-Just wait a bit more, mama!"

Aquamarine suddenly began to shapeshift his or her body into water and then decided to shape it into a humanoid form, but it was rather hard, he always ended falling into the floor and sighing in tiredness. It wasn't something as easy as with a slime because slimes are viscous and slimy while he was more like just pure water, it was hard to keep the texture and everything as just water.

"Wait, Aquamarine, don't overexert yourself now…" I sighed. "You're doing a lot already, calm down, it is too much on you."

"B-But I want to be cute to cheer you up, mama…" He sighed. "I see you're always gloomy."

"Ah… W-Well, yeah, I am quite gloomy, dear… It is hard to be stranded in another world… I miss my family and I am dead worried about them and what's happening in there…" I sighed, as I noticed that Aquamarine was getting sadder. "B-But that doesn't mean you gotta overexert yourself for me! It is alright, I am strong enough! I've gone through worse things anyways! This is just easy peasy~ We'll get this done in a couple of days and we'll be back home helping everybody else beat Hel and then… Erm, I don't know, we'll see. Most likely beating the World's Will?"

"Ooh! R-Right! There's a lot to do, let us not lose ourselves!" Said White as she seemed to want to cheer up the child.

"I-Indeed, don't feel bad, Aquamarine. We are all working together for the same goal, let's endure together." Said Black, even he ended joining the conversation, cheering up the little mass of water.

"Oh…! O-Okay!" Said Aquamarine. "I-I get it now! I will be strong!"

"That's right dear!" I said with a giggle. Despite my horrendous appearance, I was still a gentle-hearted mother! Aquamarine triggered all my motherly instincts so I had to do anything at my disposal to please him and make him happy.

Meanwhile, I decided to check on the new Skills I got after increasing my Divinity by a lot…

[Dao Summon: Lv1]

Skill Proficiency: 0/10000

A Unique Skill born from within the inner Origin of the user, a power capable of channeling the remnant Dao Fragments that are inactive within the incomplete Origin of the user and summon their power for some time in exchange for MP. The power of each Dao is enhanced by +10% with each Level, with each level granting an easier time for Fragments to turn into True Daos.

Current Daos that can be summoned: [Fortune] [Defiance] [Demise]

Woah! Isn't this one amazing? I can actually summon the power of Dao Fragments within my Origin! You see, after I was summoned my Origin was reformed from zero by copy pasting the info left in The Root, but it was fragmented and shattered, and to boot, all the Daos I had were only tiny fragments, that I couldn't even channel no matter how hard I tried. This one Skill solves the problem. It actually wasn't in the Skill Library so its unique and can only be acquired by raising Divinity Stat to a certain level, it seems.

With this amazing Skill, I can channel three different Daos' powers through the tiny lingering fragments inside of my Soul's Origin, and even manage to enhance my capabilities based in that! Damn, now I wish I could get the Dao of Summons so I can get Bubu back, but that'll have to wait… I am pretty sure I transferred him to Rimuru before I died, but I don't know, maybe I could truly resummon him here, and he would be of great help, to be honest.

Also, it seems that the Soul Book has the power to modify the Daos and make them into powers more akin to the Status System itself, oddly enough. I think they have changed and become stronger, perhaps, so I should check them out and see by myself.

-----

[Fortune]

A Dao that grants the power of [Aura of Fortune] which enhances the total fortune/luck of the wielder for a small amount of time, as long as MP is given. Through the [Aura of Fortune], fortunate things might happen and things such as destiny will sometimes go in favor of the user. It is also possible to embody Fortune itself by gathering the [Aura of Fortune] together and fire it at a target, provoking something fortunate to happen, sometimes. By using [Aura of Fortune] it is also possible to drain Fortune from a foe and cause [Misfortune] on them, a negative status effect that makes them unlucky for some time.

-----

[Defiance]

A Dao that allows to defy destiny. By using it, the power of the [Aura of Defiance] is activated, alongside the [Defying Destiny Crown] which allows the user to enhance its total stats by +30% with each Level of the [Dao Summon] Skill. The Defiance Dao allows the user to break through even destiny and overpower foes through sheer will, however, it also causes a strong burden.

-----

[Demise]

A Dao that can bring Demise to everything. By using it, the power of the [Aura of Demise] and the [Weapon of Demise] can be used, the Aura can enhance the user's body destructive power by increasing all stats by +20% with each level of the [Dao Summoning] Skill while [Weapon of Demise] can be used over weapons the user is using (or even its fists and limbs), to enhance their total attack power by +40% with each level of the [Dao Summoning] Skill. Elemental distorting capabilities can also be unleashed, and the more damage its dealt, the harder is for wounds to heal back.

-----

Wow, the Daos really changed and ended simplifying themselves? Well, that's for the best for the moment. Whenever I am back to Genesis I guess we can go back to the more classic iterations, but for now, these versions sound pretty appealing, I could try them out and see how they are…
