Chapter 411: Celestial Prime 1
Eva stepped out of the private room in the Training Hall with a calm expression. There was no longer any frigidity or murderous intent hidden behind her gaze, instead it had made room for a superior detachment.
Eva now felt innately superior to every other living existence deep down and didn't want to mingle with them too much less their filth might taint her existence. This was a result of merging Eva's supreme callousness and Amaterasu's divine benevolence.
Another consequence was that Eva no longer felt the same disgust she did in showing her face. Always hiding your face behind a veil was not comfortable, whether one was a woman or a man. It messed up one's psyche and self-esteem, which had not helped the former her at all in managing her fragile mental state.
However, she did not feel the need to flaunt her beauty. She just wanted to live her life normally by Draco's side as his partner and soulmate, not a cloaked shadow always radiating malice.
But first things first, Eva checked out her class details. She had risked a lot to earn the funds for this Class Up, so she was naturally excited to see what kind of result it would yield.

｢System to Player Announcement
Through a combination of special circ.u.mstances, you have created a new Class exclusive to yourself. This Class has been assessed to be of Divine Rank, and possesses the most potential of them all.
However, as this is a new Class neither doc.u.mented nor formulated by the system, it shall not receive system support. New skills can only be generated by Player Riveting Night herself. No skillbooks or spellbooks will be drafted by the system.｣
｢System to Player Announcement
Unfortunately, Divine Classes are incompatible with mortal skills/spells. As such, all your pre-learned skills have been removed in order to allow the Class to function.｣

｢Boundless System-wide Announcement
Player Riveting Night has acquired a Divine Class through her own efforts! She is the second of the Immortal Adventurers to acquire such a class, and her name shall be recorded in the Divine Hall of Fame!｣
｢System to Player Announcement
Your achievements have caught the eye of all the Gods. Tread carefully!｣
Eva smiled bitterly and with a surprising hint of relief when all her Shadow Assassin and dark skills were cast away. Unlike Draco who had one or two special skills that had been exempt from deletion, Eva only had normal class skills.
As such, she was left with exactly six, the ones from her new class. Still, no one could complain about such a trade in any capacity, given what she had thrown away compared to what she achieved.
Her stats were as she expected, with 70 across the board which seemed to be the norm for Divine Classes at their tier. She also had the blood-chilling 10% exp gain that gave Draco nightmares, so Eva wasn't feeling so good.
Her Rank up difficulty was also the same as Draco and her skills... well, they were interesting to say the least. For his Inheritances, Draco had gained a passive that increased health regen and had practically turned him into a World Boss in that aspect, another passive that removed all costs for physical activities and boosted their effectiveness by 2 times with his final passive doing the same for his mental abilities.
Eva though, had her first passive grant her a passive damage boost of 1,000%. Not only that, but every attack she made carried light damage and the hidden effects of it, which was edifying and vaporizing.
If she used a fireball for example, her fireball would have the typical fire damage as well as light damage. If she used a shadow ball, it would have darkness damage and light damage.
This was a useful and interesting effect. Of course, the 1,000% damage was mind-boggling, a highlight just how insane the offensive power of the Goddess of Light Inheritance was.
Then again, that was a given. This Inheritance was the parallel of the super offensive Serpent God Inheritance, and since Lucifer and Amaterasu were equal in terms of power, it made sense that Eva's light-based damage-dealing capabilities would rival Draco's Black Dragon's power.
Of course, according to in-game lore, the Black Dragon was number 1, but the fact was that in reality, Eva and Draco were on par. So, the system had to compensate for this, hence this current passive.
The second passive was even more outrageous, and it allowed Eva to emulate the one trait of Abyss and void monsters that made them so feared even amongst Demons.
Whether Demon, Devil, or whatnot, everything treated void monsters with absolute care. Only Dragons that shat out Aetheric Energy could directly ignore them, but that was only for the weaker ones.
As Eva's passive showed, the top-tier void monsters were resistant to even Legendary (Aetheric) damage and could only be harmed by things at the Divine level.
Apart from True Gods, everything else had to tread cautiously around these semi-corporeal monsters lest they end up corrupted to death by them.
Still, her passive was quite different from Warm Spring's Damage Immunity. Her passive made Warm Spring literally immune and unkillable by anything below the Divine Rank, as her Demi-Angel class was around the level of a Titled God power-wise.
True Angels were all Divine and had Racial States of Beings at that Rank, so Warm Spring who was half that would certainly have a fractured State of Being in that direction.
However, Eva was not using a Divine State of Being to resist damage, but rather the unique physiology of a void monster. She was resistant, meaning that there was a chance to negate all damage below Divine Rank.
However, that was just it, a chance. If 10,000 mages bombarded her with a fireball spell, she could resist around 9,500 of them while the final 500 would land, or she could resist 8,000 of them while the final 2,000 hit.
It depended on her Luck stat in this case. If her roll was good, she could resist them all, but if her roll was bad, then she would receive all the damage. This meant that Eva's stat priority was more focused than Draco's.
After all, Draco had so many abilities and items that he had to make most of his stats equal across the board and avoid min-maxing, but Eva did not have that burden.
Pros and cons as they always say.
Her third passive further narrowed down the path she had to walk. With a status rivaling the emissary of a True God, even the Empress Rank that her Divine Heraldry had granted her was now trash.
She no longer needed to even bother with her Charisma stat, this passive treated it as if she were at the maximum cap in that stat in terms of social interaction with the only limiting factor being that it wouldn't work on those who had a higher Rank than her.
Eva nodded with pleasure as she saw these abilities. They were extremely specific and not as broad as Draco's, but one could argue that their effects were just as good... if not even slightly better.
As for her fighting forms, she decided to field-test them, when she went out to level up.
Eva had stockpiled 5,599% experience through her various 'clean-ups' with the other three. With her new Divine Class, that was reduced to 559% experience, which only made her rise up 5 levels, going from level 10, 0% to level 16, 59%.
She gained 15 stat points to allocate, of which she placed all into Intelligence, bringing it to 85 points from the base 70. Eva checked her character sheet to be sure.
｢Name: Riveting Night

Tradeskills: Slave Trading (level 21, 90%), Negotiation (level 10, 12%), Tracking (level 34, 90%), Intelligence (level 1,20%)｣
Eva's lips twitched when she saw her Tradeskills. Her current mentality resented such vile practices and if given a choice she would get rid of them, but doing that was easier said than done.
Only Intelligence was suitable for her needs, but Slave Trading and Tracking... no. Negotiation too was fine, but redundant with her current Celestial's Dignity passive.
If Eva used her passive effectively, there was nothing she could not get, so the benefits of the Tradeskill had become useless, to say the least. Eva was intrigued by her class skill category, and wanted to research it more when a screen popped up before her.
｢System to Player Announcement
Your recent Class Up has alerted the True Gods to your current status! This has brought your Mistress, the Goddess of the Sun, great fame and respect among the True Gods of the various pantheons!
However, your special characteristics have not been missed by the various deities overlooking the mortal plane! As a budding Sun Goddess yourself, you are encroaching on your mistress's territory, turning her recently acquired fame into ridicule and mockery among her peers!｣
｢System to Player Announcement
Your relationship with the Goddess of the Sun has fallen to enmity! Both parties cannot exist in the same world, and conflict is sure to erupt if either party were to ever meet!
Tread carefully, for the hatred of a True God is not easy to bear!｣
｢System to Player Announcement
As a result of your recent actions, your Divine Heraldry has been revoked, tarnishing your reputation thoroughly! All reputations reduced by 10,000 points!｣
Eva read these notifications coldly, casually watching the herald's cloak and badge she wore disintegrate into nothingness. She could care less about the enmity with a True God no matter how mighty they were, for her goal was to become something even greater.
A mere digital Goddess of the Sun would only be a stepping stone in her path. The reputation loss was troublesome, but inconsequential since Eva had never cared about that, even less now with her current detached personality.
However, that didn't mean she would let this slide. A mere bitch who was temporarily holding her title thought she could act willfully because of some perceived wrongs? A crime punishable by death.
No one in existence, absolutely no one, was allowed to tarnish the prestige of the True Goddess of the universe, the Celestial Prime, Eva Morningstar!
