From the moment it was placed within its current host the Hogkyouku began to work, in correspondence with the hosts desire for immortality the first step it would have to take is ensuring that the soul of the host can be sustained indefinitely.
Most divine beings already possess immortality but that wasn't true immortality as they could still be killed in some shape or form, infact most of them can have their souls completely destroyed by attacks that target the soul as such to ensure that its host receives actual true immortality the Hogkyoku began its work.
Immortality means to be unable to die, meaning nothing can ever harm its host. With that realization the Hogkyouku began to reinforce the soul of the host making it denser and tougher so that it could withstand and resist any attacks that did soul damage, once that was done the Hogkyouku began to create soul Shields that would repel soul damaging attacks, it made about 10 layers of Shields. The shields would return any soul damaging attack back to it's sender amplified about tenfold.
It then began to read the entirety of the soul and began creating countless copies of the soul and had them stored in a subspace, those copies will instantly replace the Hosts soul should it be eradicated. It also made a copy of itself incase it was destroyed and stored it in the same subspace, the copy Hogkyouku will be dormant and will only activate once the original is destroyed.
With countermeasures against the Soul created, the Hogkyouku began to create a way for the host to have a steady supply of energy without the need to be reliant on anything. using the Hosts past life knowledge is created the skill, [Magicule breeder reactor core] an ability that will supply the host with unlimited mana and completely making it so that he never runs out of magic power, once that was done it began its work on the body.
The host will use mana as a life line to be able to live and since the host has his own unlimited mana he won't need external mana, it also made it so that his blood would be silver instead of gold as a result of it carrying copious amounts of mana. The Hogkyouku proceeded to then reinforce his bones, increasing their durability making them harder than any substances that exists in the universe it then increased his already great healing ability by a 100 fold making it so he can instantly heal and regenerate.
The next thing to improve was the mind, the Hogkyouku created hundreds of barriers to prevent the host's Thoughts from being known by anyone but the host, the barriers will also helped against mind attacks that sought to cripple one's mind.
With the most pressing matters done The Hogkyouku began to work of a few trivial things, overall improving the Hosts physical features and using the Hosts divine skill to forge various new skills that would come in handy.
...….
Within what seemed to be a luxurious golden and silver castle made of iron and gold, on its front entrance, a gate leading into the yard of the palace there stood two menacing creatures, one was a lion with glistening silver skin and fur, the beast was humongous, dwarfing any regular sized palace made by man and next to it on the other side of the gate was a Dog of similar size but instead it had golden skin and fur and was just as majestically beautiful as the lion beside him.
The Two beasts furrow their brows and bared their fangs as a figure made its way towards them, The figure was quite far away as such they waited for it to get close before attacking the Perceived intruder, within a couple of minutes the figure had arrived near them, it was a woman carrying what looked to be a large roll of cloth that was slung over her shoulder.
Once she arrived near the two beasts her pale skin slowly changed colors returning to its golden sheen revealing herself to be one of the handmaidens of the palace.
"Good afternoon Asími and Chrysós"
She gave her greetings to the two guards to her lords palace before walking past them and opening the gates and entering. She made her way through the paved path in the middle of a field of grass and arrived at the palace door. Placing to cloth to the side she knocked using the circular handles on it.
She waited a few minutes before knocking again, she waited another few minutes before knocking once again however no one opened the door.
"Tria can you open the door?"
She asked the maid that was supposed to be responsible for welcoming guests and opening the palace door, however no one came to open the door causing the maid to frown.
"TRIA COME OPEN THIS STUPID DOOR!!!"
As soon as she Shouted footsteps were heard and a feminine voice responded to her statement.
"Coming"
The door opened to reveal another made that also had golden skin the girl looked like she just woke up with how she rubbed her eyes.
"What did I tell you about sleeping?, what if the lord had an important guest?"
"the lord never has important guests though"
"And that doesn't give you the excuse to sleep, fucking Tartarus Tria you wanna get thrown in the forge and be turned into those wheel things."
She stated, mentioning the tripods with golden wheels.
"Whatever Ena, just get in already"
"don't say what ever to your elder sister"
"yeah, by 3 seconds"
"just take the cloth and send it up to the forge, the lord should be done With his bath or whatever that is"
Tria took the cloth without complaint, she just had to shut up her supposed older sister. Taking the cloth she then left to deliver it to the forge however she quickly regretted complying to her sisters order as she realized that the palace was ridiculously huge and it would take a while to make it Into the forge.
..
After an hour of traversing the way to the back of the palace and another hour of climbing down the stairs to the forge Tria finally made it, she threw the white cloth on top of a large table that had a few equipment, like hammers and unfinished swords. There was also some food items there as well and Tria took a few fruits for herself.
The forge was a large underground basement, it was dark and only illuminated by the fire and the giant pot of Molten lava that sat at the center, the walls were decorated with various kinds of weapons, swords, axes and maces.
The forge was were the lord worked and spent most of his time, one could even say he ate and slept there. Tria Didn't like the forge, it was hot and stuffy not to mention her lord had no sense of décor, who would let weapons just hang on the wall like that?
After having done looking around Tria decided to leave but before she could begin to ascend the stairs the whole room shook causing her to wobble backwards and almost falling.
"an earthquake?"
She pondered but upon further inspection she found out that it was the giant pot of lava that was shaking and in turn threatening to spill. Looking at the lava swish around and threatening to spill she tried to get her bearings but she couldn't so instead she crawled her way to the stairs.
The lava began to bubble almost as if boiling and began to stir around the pot before a small eruption burst forth causing the lava to splatter all over the room and fortunately didn't bring harm to Tria. Feeling the increased temperature of the room Tria turned to look behind her and was awe struck by what she saw.
A man with deep crimson red hair almost as if it was dipped in blood, he had glistening golden eyes, that stared back at her with an unreadable gaze, his face was handsome with a finely chiseled Jaw and a polished nose. His torso was all muscles, lean muscles like that of an athlete than that of a body builder by his muscles were defined and visible.
