"I feel hungry"
The first thing I feel after obtaining the authority of devour is hunger.
Not the simple hunger of an empty stomach but something deeper, older, and terrifying. like an instinct she cannot silence.
"So this is why that guy was so weak, he was incomplete"
Without an element, without a constellation, without a demon god name you are not a true demon god.
"If I let this hunger decide, I will end up like that guy, in the end a inherited authority is not what truly belong to me, it doesn't fit my nature"
I remember, cold nights with no food, watching others suffer in silence. Suddenly my power disgusts me.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
And instead of suppressing the hunger I understood it.
"This hunger isn't a curse, it's a reminder."
My new divine instinct whispers, devour, consume and grow.
But I answers it with my own will.
"No"
I can feel that I'm incomplete now, so what I need to do now is to go on a journey to complete myself, and become fully pledged demon god, that ought to fix this issue.
But what element should I choose.
"So let's go with hydro then" I made up my mind without further deliberation.
It's because, although it's sealed right now, but I will still unlock my authority of Finality one day. And Finality have authority related everything other than hydro, there has never been a herrscher of water.
I wonder why.
Nevertheless as I already know from the game that, best way to supplement my deficiency is to assimilate an oceanid.
My journey to find the Oceanid wasn't just a quest it was a quiet, aching pull from something deep within my soul. Ever since my transformation into something more than human, I felt incomplete. Powerful, yes. Divine, even. But hollow in a way I couldn't explain.
So I set out, I searched here and there but haven't chanced upon one.
My journey took me across distant lands. Through silent mountains where even wind refused to speak. Across golden plains where water was scarce, reminding me of my purpose. Into ancient ruins where Hydro once reigned supreme.
Until one night, under a silver moon, the waters responded.
A fleeting shape. A silhouette made of liquid light.
Gone in an instant but enough.
An Oceanid.
At last, deep within a hidden sanctuary where water floated like stars in the air, I found it.
It did not attack.
It did not speak.
It simply looked at me.
And in that gaze, I saw everything, my childhood hunger, the pain I endured, the kindness I refused to lose, the god I had become.
The Oceanid wasn't so different from her.
I didn't absorb it.
I accepted it.
The moment I reached out, the Oceanid dissolved into countless droplets of light, merging into my being not as power, but as balance.
With Hydro, everything changed.
The Devour Authority began to break apart.
Because it was never truly mine.
And from its fragments something new was born.
Her new authority was not hunger. It was, choice.
Not consumption. But, refinement.
Not emptiness. But, fulfillment.
And its name became, gourmet
For the first time since my ascension I felt full.
Not because I was stronger. But because I could finally feel everything again, fully, deeply, without restraint.
When I completed myself, my authority didn't just stabilize, it reshaped itself.
Because for the first time,
Power (Devour)
Element (Hydro)
Emotion (Compassion)
aligned.
Originally, Devour = take everything to fill emptiness.
But I never wanted that.
Deep down, my will said,
"No one should feel this emptiness."
So the authority changed, Not into destruction, But into refinement and nourishment.
Gourmet is not about luxury. It is about, Choosing what truly matters.
Preserving what has value, Turning raw existence into something that can sustain others.
My power now does two things,
Refine:
Removes excess, waste, imbalance.
Redistribute:
Converts what is taken into something usable.
Energy → nourishment
Power → sustenance
Authority of Gourmet, not born from greed but from compassion.
My next thoughts become calm. Focused. Certain.
"If hunger exists, then I will erase it."
"Even if it's impossible."
She looks at her hands again.
They are no longer just tools of power.
They are hands that can, cook, create, nourish, protect.
And for the first time since her transformation serena smiles.
Soft. Gentle. Resolute.
"I am Aquarius and I will become a god who feeds the world, in the the name of God of Gourmet"
