The effect was almost immediate, since Zaphkiel quickly regained consciousness and is now only covering her face behind Lucifugus, for my part I discovered another very interesting thing while refining Zaphkiel... she have various designs of armors and weapons!
So while I wait for her to recover from her little shame incident, I'm looking at several of Kurumi's outfits from the novels and video games... Black Wedding Dress, Red Spider, White Wedding Dress, Crimson Rose, Lady's Manner, Wondrous Dream, Candy Queen, Kimono Lady, Be your kitty, Ink Fragance, Bikini Armor, Red Bikini, Time Witch, Time magician....
'So many costumes to choose from!' I really should ask myself why they exist, but I really don't see the need.... 'Oh! Lucifugus's have her versions too!'
For a moment I thought that this would be a real challenge for me, but apparently it won't be necessary, since these costumes have already been created I simply have to 'give them physical form', of course I will create specific models for specific situations.
"Well, whether you are ready or not, I'm going to start, this is going to take a while, so hang in there, okay?" I tell both women, who simply nod with red faces and I get to work with their respective crystals...
I decide to include a little more of my blood in the refinement, entering a trance again while working on the crystal. Creating the variations is simple, apparently this crystal is much more flexible than I expected, in addition, they continue to absorb all the materials that I introduce, so I decided to include more metals, dragon parts and even some Grand Soul Gems
I was acting like a kid in a candy store, seeing how far my skill could take me, and apparently the modifications I had made are new crystals, since its composition, materials and even the way of transmitting energy and information is completely different.
The closest I could explain the new functions of the crystal would be like the Requip magic of Fairy Tail or how my equipment window works, you simply have to give a command to implement the new suits and armor, each with its own characteristics and properties.... so the more I worked the more I realized something...
I'm actually the creator of this Sephira Crystal... there is no other way to understand it, I know every detail, every channel, every edge, every face of the crystal and not just the crystal... I also completely know every part that makes up Zahpkiel and Lucifugus, both of them no longer have secrets from me, even I understand what their thought pattern is like...
'To think that I can modify the way of thinking of a living being.... It's something fascinating and terrifying at the same time...' At that moment I understand what I'm thinking... for me they are living people... and out of nowhere all that thought of superiority that I had disappeared.
'Once again I understand how all those guys who become gods feel... knowing that you have so much control over something and creating life... even though if they don't abuse it, is really...' I stop thinking about it, if I keep thinking about it I will fall into temptation.... 'Heh I didn't think it would be reasoning in my situation.'
After all, what kind of explanation can I have for being a human who does not know who he is, who was reborn as an adult in another world, and then travel to another world where he met some girls other than humans and have to fight some 'gods' to save a vampire, a devil, spirit and others, and now I am inside the spirit girl soul with the help of a couple of dragons, modifying an angel and a demon that represent her power at my will.
'I guess thinking about it really should be the least of my worries... right now I'm just a blacksmith and I have a duty to fulfill.' Creating the best object I can is my job, and considering that they are alive as their creator I must make sure they receive the best I can offer them... Now why do I think of them as my daughters?
Anyway being the creator I can practically modify them as I like, and each refinement comes with a bigger space to different costumes, it is interesting to see how they double the stats each refinement I do, although I will leave it to Zaphkiel and Lucifugus to decide how Kurumi will be able to access her new costume and power after all they are their powers, even if I want to, I won't be able to guide them in the rest of their live...
'Once again I think of them as my daughters... truly one of these days I must sit down and analyze myself very well, seeing several young women as my daughters can be a problem...' Finally, I finished the armor and costumes that she can use, I think I went a little overboard, thinking that I would create two Erza Scarlet...
Now what to do about the weapons... To tell the truth I don't have much imagination for firearms, so I just started taking them from different sources, like Alucard's pistols from Hellsing, Vash Stampede's Long Colt revolvers and Wolfwood's Punisher from Trigun, Dante's Evony and Ivory from Devil May Cry, Bayonetta's Elfin Knight and Onyx Rose, I'm also improving the ones that comes by default, since Kurumi has several weapon designs of her own.... and I actually realized that I didn't really remember many interesting firearms... It's not that they don't exist, they're just normal weapon models so they don't really catch my attention much.
There are modern and futuristic weapons yes, but... I don't really feel that they are aesthetically compatible with Kurumi..... fuck! Now I have become a fucking designer... I really have to know how many fucking identities I have and I really can't deny it since I even made several modifications to the armor and designs I created for Kurumi to make her look better.... sigh...
The next thing to do are swords... of course I had to recreate Yamato and Rebellion, as well as their improved versions, Excalibur from Fate, both the normal one and its Alter version, in this sense I really had many places to choose from.... Just in case I even created other weapons, like spears and knives, I was thinking of creating more but I really feel like I'm going overboard.... but who can blame me, I just want the best of the best for them.
So after a few minutes of high-speed working under trance I finally have to close my eyes because of the intense pain I feel in my eyes... could it be due to the heat or the light of the flames? I need to be careful when I'm forging so as not to damage my eyesight. But in the end I did it! Ignore the background moaning of women (that I see as daughters) who are on the floor!

'What the fuck is what I just saw...
I'm sure I already screwed up my eyes a lot... Yes, that happened, I'm probably up to the tips of a very potent skooma, or this is simply a dream and it never happened... I must be in a coma... THE FUCKING SKILLS THAT DIDN'T APPEAR IN THE AMULET WERE THAT!!!'
'Thanks Gamer's Mind. Now I understand why Auriel's shield was so surprised... But I think I really overdid myself... is this really something I did?' Well what happened happen, according to this I can use it too.... I just have to find out how.
I really shouldn't have thought so much when I was creating them... I know I wanted to create the best I could but now I'm afraid I've put them in danger... and why the first thing I think of doing to help them is to keep improving them and making them stronger! Although why does a + sign appears there? I can touch it? Touch.

I see this message and I'm really surprised, I quickly open my list of skills and yes, I have those skills marked there, they are the ones in Skyrim but unlike Skyrim, apparently I gain the Perks when I level up the skill, but now they are grey, it seems I have to activate them...

To tell the truth I am simply ignoring the elephant in the room, I created a weapon capable of turning its user into a god.... of course I am totally sure that it is very difficult to achieve it.... at least I didn't get a title like God Blacksmith....
'No... surely it only has to do with understanding of each power, if Kurumi manages to understand time and space 100% she will surely be able to unlock all her powers, but could both be merged?' I begin to think while I join both crystals, creating a single crystal again... I want to get out of here now....
'I wonder what power she would have if both of them... huh?' I note something strange, I see both crystals that now form one again and I can notice another figure in it, another adult naked Kurumi, this is the combination of Zaphkiel and Lucifugus half of each, one black and one white, with a black angel wing and a white bat wing... and she is looking at me...

"Sigh.... I really need a beer.... I don't even want to see what those last skills do." If before I thought that Kurumi could become a god... now god herself is in looking at me... and she believes that I'm god, now what the hell the system want....
[Hidden identity. The user will not receive rewards until the created item has been unlocked. The item will be locked and hidden until the users can use its power.]
'Thanks system, you are finally useful for something at least...' I stay still for a minute, during which Zaphkiel and Lucifugus recover and stand up and Lichtzetk continues to look at me curiously... 'Well at least no errors appeared this time.... yet.'
I look at everywhere and finally calm down, I know very well that the last thing I should do is trust my system, it has screwed me up too many times not to understand that it is useless.
'Do I really have to become what I deny? It didn't even need 10 minutes saying I don't want to be God so that God appears and says you are God... I wonder if I can still go to the store to buy cigarettes or milk?'
