Jay immediately shouted out,"Show me the status of the new god!"
[Godly title: Immortal Star Phoenix, God of Knowledge and the Holy Spirit
Divine talents:Star Collector, Flames of Sin, Potential Unlock, Holy Spirit Arts
Star Collector: Knowledge as infinite and growing as the many stars in the sky! As the being with the biggest lust for knowledge you crave that which you do not know, and you have an insatiable will to collect every star!
Flames of Sin: Your Flames do not burn the righteous, only those who are unworthy of the gift of Knowledge and Life. Your Flames can burn entire countries to the ground but you cannot injure the pure of heart. You are duty bound to eradicate the evil and unholy.
Potential Unlock: You're flames carry a divine energy and essence, making it so that you can give [Minor blessing: Potential unlock] to mortals you believe are worthy to reach higher states of power.
Holy Spirit Arts: The Goddess of Love created this god with the Ultima God imbibing it with a host of her loving, divine energy. This energy awakes the living "Divine Soul" nestled in the heart of this Phoenix. You are a master at anything having to deal with the soul and can see through even the greatest of grandmasters. You carry such a radiant, holy aura that the righteous will feel the need to worship and the evil to flee.]
Jay smiled and looked at the also beaming with pride Sol. He asked her,"So, did you enjoy making her?"
Sol nodded her head and viewed the new Goddess in all of her glory. Sol walked forwards and hugged the now giant, flaming bird.
The Immortal Star Phoenix was touched and wrapped her wings around Sol, bracing her back as well.
Jay then brought them all out of the machine. Star asked Jay," Father, what shall I do for your planet, now that I am a god?"
Jay turned and looked at Sol. Sol eyes widened and she stuttered out while pointing at herself,"M-m-me?!"
Jay nodded and pushed her gently towards the expectant bird.
Sol took a deep breath and then said,"W-well, you would travel the world, seeking new knowledge while also spreading knowledge to other civilizations and species. You can speak with all creatures, so you should not run into a language barrier."
The Phoenix asked, slightly confused,"So shall I collect knowledge or spread it?"
Sol turned to Jay who simply closed his eyes in respond. Jay wanted Sol to be the main creator here and wanted her to assign the functions. He wanted to help her build up her confidence which she greatly lacked in their old world.
Sol realized she wasn't getting out of this and decided to suck it up. She thought about it for a moment and then smiled at her thoughts.
She finally said,"Star, back when I was a mortal, I loved books. I loved them so much that I began a career as a teacher, so that I may give that love to all the children who came through my classroom. Of course most of those kids didn't care about books, but every so often I would come upon a child who was eager to learn about the world around him or her, and dove into anything I gave them. They learned that knowledge is fundamentally useless when hoarded by one person, and instead should be collected and given to those who will cherish it for what it is, and not for what they have to do to get the parts they enjoy. That is what knowledge can do and how powerful it can be!"
Sol was very emotional as she poured out her inner emotions on a topic she held very dear.
Star listened to the explanation and her eyes widened as if she had an epiphany. She hummed and said,"You have given me a very important task mother, I hope I can fulfill such a lofty dream. Thank you for choosing me, I hope to not let you down."
Sol patted the back of the bird and said,"You don't have to succeed, just do your best, and stay safe. I worry about all the things that are going to attack you!"
Jay chuckled as he watched his wife and new god child discussing between one another.
Jay walked back into the central area and saw Phineas sitting alone, sipping something while sitting next to the cozy fireplace.
Phineas saw them walk in and saw the new god that walked in with them. They all exchanged pleasantries as they got to know each other.
After a bit of talking, Jay pulled Phineas to the side and said,"Son, come and sit, I can feel something is troubling you."
Phineas flinched at the mention of that but sat down next to Jay nonetheless.
Jay asked him,"So what's wrong?"
Phineas replied,"I am afraid that as a God you made in a hurry and with no feeling
that I am not or in the future will not be loved like the other gods." Phineas started to slightly tear up at this thought, as it was obvious that Jay did not care about him like he did the others.
Jay sighed and said,"Son, my connection with Stelara and Sol is different from my connection with you. I have known them for years, I know all their likes, their dislikes, their personality, and so much more. I know Phineas, the God of Agriculture whom I created in a desperate attempt at finding clarity. I have found that clarity and will try to love all my children equally, but I am not a perfect man. Who I want to know isn't a God but my son, Phineas Lancaster.*
(*1- Lancaster is his last name from his last world.)
Phineas looked up at Jay and started to cry as his repressed emotions at being pushed to the side when Jay summoned his family finally burst out.
Jay spent about an hour comforting and talking to Phineas as the two bonded as a son and father from Jay's old world would.
