Chapter 1564 - 1197 This is Everything

```

However, thorough preparation was necessary first.

Mars felt its confidence had never been as solid as it was now, its Divine Status unprecedentedly mighty, and its Divine Power extraordinarily abundant. It even believed it might be invincible in battle. Of course, it hadn’t forgotten its sense of propriety; it was very aware of who had bestowed these blessings upon it.

At this moment, Mars was cruising between the realms of the stellar systems, searching for a suitable planet. The Darkness Saintess had ordered it to enhance its combat capabilities as swiftly as possible; as a planet, size was everything. Mars sought a metal planet to transform more Divine Power alloy.

Finally, at a certain location, Mars found a molten metal planet, which was in a constant state of molten due to its proximity to a star, and significantly larger than Mars. Mars immediately collided with it, beginning to absorb the metallic elements of the planet and transform them into Divine Power alloy. With the influence of the star, Mars and the Golems were also able temporarily to disappear from the surveillance of all gods in the Seventh Ring.

All this was in order to successfully undergo an upgrade.

All three hundred core-creature girls stood by the Golems, the devices on their chests flickering with light. These devices had been a part of them since birth, and even they did not initially understand what these were for. But now, they knew.

This was the activation mechanism for the Divinization program! It was also the key connection between their humanoid and core forms!

"Divine Status! Extract!" commanded the Darkness Saintess, and the Divine Status within them condensed entirely into the devices at their chests, then formed into fist-sized orbs of light before them. No matter how powerful the Divine Status was, once condensed, it would only be such a sphere of light. Every Divine Status present was equally powerful, thus there was almost no discomfort between them. However, if there were any ordinary God of War present, their Divine Status would have likely been forcefully extracted by now.

"Switch to core form!"

All members of the core-creature clan disappeared at once, leaving behind a core the size of a fist. Suddenly devoid of their human bodies, the previously condensed Divine Status began to get restless, swirling around the core, trying to locate the human forms. Quickly, the Divine Status discovered the connection between the core form and the humanoid form, and violently collided with the core.

This collective impact was so intense that Mars’s entire planet-body shattered in an instant! The molten Magma spilled out along the crevices!

Although Mars had been aware that some impact might occur, it was still startled by the magnitude of the shock. Fortunately, the shattering of the planet-body did not cause any harm to Mars, but just a moment ago, its Divine Status was also impacted, prompting it to halt the assimilation of surrounding metal and enter a defensive state.

After all, the impact had not yet ended.

The Divine Status attempted to penetrate the core, but for the core, Divine Status was an unauthorized external energy, and naturally, the core could not allow it to enter freely. As the impacts continued, the core-creature clan members in another dimension could feel a fluctuation subtly emerging within their bodies in response to the assault of the Divine Status! And the source of this fluctuation was their inborn chest devices!

The shocks persisted, the resonance continued, and the first strand of Divine Status was finally born within the body of the Darkness Saintess!

Unlike Divine Status acquired through plundering and absorption, the Darkness Saintess could feel that when this strand of Divine Status was born, both her body and soul underwent transformations!

Hum!

The core disappeared, and the Darkness Saintess reappeared in its place. As the Darkness Saintess appeared, the orb of Divine Status ceased its assault. The orb of Divine Status and the Divine Status of the Darkness Saintess faintly resonated with each other, growing rapidly from a sliver to a thread. As the Divine Status grew, countless mysterious Divine Texts also emerged from the body of the Darkness Saintess, converging on the device on her chest. The chest device began to detach slowly from her chest! After a while, that strand of Divine Status finally became a complete Divine Status, and the device that was originally embedded in her chest was now completely detached from her body.

At this moment, the skin on the Darkness Saintess’s chest was flawless, not at all like a device had ever been there.

The device in midair reassembled and transformed, absorbing the portion of Divine Status suspended in the air, then continued to reassemble and transform, with each of its transformations dispersing more potent energy fluctuations.

Eventually, that device transformed into a core right in front of the Darkness Saintess!

The Darkness Saintess already knew that this was not another core; it was the same core. The device embedded in their chests was actually the core’s interior form. The two were linked through a higher-dimensional channel, and now that it had detached from the Darkness Saintess’s body, she could no longer see the inside of the core. But now, the energy of the core was even more potent.

Regardless of how much Divine Status the Golems had absorbed before, it had always been half for the humanoid part and half for the core. But now all of the Divine Status belonged to the core, meaning that whatever the Golems’s strength was before, it would now be doubled immediately!

Following the Darkness Saintess, other clan members also gradually completed the Divinization program. The doubling of the core’s power brought immense surprise to the girls. However, it also brought a dilemma: now that their original forms and cores appeared simultaneously, how were they to fight?
