32 Two Subdomains And A Domain (2/2)

You gain knowledge of someone's fetishes and addictions at a glance.

Incubi and succubi caress: You gain the seductive powers of succubi and incubi.

When you are kissed or embraced or you kiss or embrace someone they experience blissful, bodily and mental pleasure and are left drained of strength and will for it, their strength and will entering and empowering you instead. The drain is temporary and lasts for a day. That said, the power can affect someone more than once a day.

The sensation is addictive, and those who experience it once tend to want to experience it again, over and over. This power can corrupt someone over time and it can also kill over time if you will it.

Corruption subdomain active powers:

Gratifying gaze: This subdomain makes your body a powerful tool and this active power embodies that. Usage of this once an hour power makes your gaze a trap and dominates those whose eyes meet yours. Dominated creatures serve you willingly and obey your commands, experiencing sexual fulfillment while doing so.

Whispers of corruption: This once an hour power uses your velvet voice to corruptively whisper in the ears of a target. It whispers sinful and corrupt things into their minds and lessens their ability to resist corruption for three hours.

Inhibition remover: This once a day power temporarily destroys someone's sense of inhibition. For an hour they are unlikely to say ”no” to offers to experience new sensations and are more suggestible then they'd otherwise be.

Lust: This once an hour power allows you to immediately learn something that someone desires.

Corruption subdomain blessing and curse details:

Blessing someone with a corruption-centered blessing is unique in that the precise effects can be picked by you. Since you control lust and addiction, you can improve someone's ability to inflict lust on others, effectively increasing their charisma.

Your blessing can also cause someone to become immune to the symptoms of sexually spread diseases. Just the symptoms. Or you can use your blessing to give someone the ability to learn another person's fetishes, addictions, and desires at a glance. In time you'll gain a wider range of blessing options related to corruption, vices, and sins.

Cursing someone using corruption increases the likelihood they'll gain a sexually spread disease, increases their vulnerability to lust-based abilities, makes their addictions worse and harder to cope with. It also renders them more vulnerable to your lust based abilities. This'll also increase in diversity as you gain more influence over the corruption subdomain.

Details about the mind domain:

This domain governs intelligence, wisdom, thoughts, memories, secrets, and psychic abilities. It is an extremely potent domain, a greater domain even among the greater domains. This domain, mixed with the knowledge domain, provides you with a synergistic bonus that boosts your ability to process information. Basically it makes your mind faster.

Each tier of influence over this domain grants you a psychic power that you can bestow upon other creatures, aside from the first domain which grants you three psychic powers. To gain influence over this domain you must powerful powerful acts using your mind, and you must increase not only your own intelligence but also the intelligence of other creatures.

Mind domain passive powers:

Mind-link: You gain the ability to tie minds together. These minds can communicate with each other over infinite distances and can ignore language barriers that would otherwise limit their ability to communicate. This includes your mind as well, which you can easily link to other creatures.

You can do this across vast distances, and don't even need to have seen the creatures whose minds you are linking to do so successfully. Usage of this power doesn't alert those whose minds are linked to the fact that their minds are now linked, though clearly you can tell them or you can be sneaky and only tell one of them.

Telekinesis: Telekinesis is the ability to manipulate objects and creatures with your mind. You can move objects and creatures without touching them by mentally willing them to move.

You have no limitations on your version of this power, and can bestow a lesser version of it upon mortals at will and you can also take it back as freely as you give it away.

The version of this power that mortals acquire allows them to only move one object or creature at a time, and it can only weigh half as much as they could lift with their limbs. As you gain more influence over the mind domain you'll gain the ability to modify and eventually even remove these limitations altogether.

It's worth noting that currently, no telekinetic mortals exist anywhere in this universe. When you grant someone this power, they'll become the first mortal in this universe, to be able to do this since the end of the age of gods, the era in the ancient past wherein gods existed.

Mind-reading: You gain the ability to read minds. This is only surface level at the moment and you can't dig up old thoughts for that is a power granted to you at a higher tier of influence over this domain but you can read someone's loudest thoughts at will.

Mind domain active power:

Inflict unconsciousness: This once a day power allows you to inflict unconsciousness on a target. If you will it someone can dream during this period, but unless you make them dream they won't. This power causes them to be unconscious for an hour at most in its current state, though you can use dream domain abilities on them that could extend the length of their unconsciousness.

Mind domain blessing and curse details:

Bestowing a blessing upon someone while focused on the mind domain enhances any psychic powers they may have, increases their intelligence and wisdom and improves their memory.

Cursing someone with a mind-domain centered curse weakens their mind, temporarily lessening their intelligence, stripping them of any psychic abilities they may have, and weakening their memory.

Additional note: Your senses are getting an upgrade. Deities possess senses that are incomparable to those of mortals. Your sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell are being upgraded to reflect that. It won't be immediate, but when it's finished you'll know. You'll get another one when you are freed from the tutorial.]

________________________________________________

It took me several minutes to read through that immense wall of text. It took me long enough that by the time I finished reading it, I was actually back in the proper, tree-lined forest and not the nice clearing I had been in. The moment the notification vanished from view my tremorsense was still expanding, both downward and in a full circle around me.

I closed my eyes and allowed my mind to be overtaken by my now even more expansive not-so-mini-map. For the first time ever as I was able to see the map as my eyes closed. It was pleasantly exciting to not have to wait for the map to appear.

My overall knowledge of the world itself, something I didn't possess much of if I was being honest, expanded as I studied the animated map. Before my eyes it was continuing to expand in almost all directions, revealing new things to me.

A simple study of the map gave me plenty of new information because the map was changed. Before now the thing had been a static image of my surroundings, a two-dimensional space lined with dots of various shapes and colors but no words, and definitely not the strange thing I now stared at.

Now the thing was three dimensional, allowing me to see things like mountains and hills beyond the forest, as well as trees. Where this really mattered, however, was with regards to the upgrades to the map. One of them was that my map no longer had dots in lieu of people, animals and creatures.

The most immediate upgrade to my map was that now I could see things in it. And it wasn't just natural features that I could see. I could see the outlines and silhouettes of actual creatures and buildings. They were faint, but they were mobile and more than that they had words beneath them as well.

Right beneath someone's outline, I could see three lines. One of them was formatted in the following way: ”Name:” and then revealed that creature's name. Beneath that line was a line that said ”Species:” and then revealed the creature's species. The final line was the most complicated. It read ”Status:” and revealed someone's overall health and any major conditions affecting them.

All in all, in the range I could detect, which continued to expand, there were over one million living entities. A number I could barely wrap my mind around, especially since even though a plurality of them were insects, there were still over 400,000 humanoids and other living creatures. The number of corpses was far bigger, and it delighted the part of me that enjoyed using necromancy.

But remarkably, that mind-blowing revelation was far from the only thing I got to learn. My new not-so-mini-map showed me the topography of what lay underneath me.

For the first time in my life, I could clearly see the world underneath my feet. I could see the composition of the soil and stone under my feet. And I could see more than just that.

I could see the strange, underground secrets my ignorance had blinded me too. I could see tunnels and caves, and I learned that Comillas wasn't the only place with artificial buildings. My mental map revealed the existence of a number of strange and alien settlements deep underground.

These settlements were heavily populated by the sorts of creatures that the earth subdomain's notification had mentioned: dark elves, dwarves, and reptilefolk. The outlines of the dark elves were lithe, the dwarven outlines were short and stocky, and the reptilefolk outlines varied in their shapes and sizes. And it was at this moment that I realized I was using another upgraded function of the not-so-mini-map.

I no longer had to consciously study the massive map to understand it. My ability to process information was far faster than before, and I had an overall understanding of the map with but a quick study of it.

Of course, I wasn't so skilled as to be able to divine specific information without conscious study, but even my ability to generally understand the massively upgraded display was incredibly helpful since my map was so different and bigger than it had been a few minutes ago.

It was at this moment that I opened my eyes. The ogresses were now close enough that I could visually detect them. I laid my eyes on them and readied myself. They were almost a kilometer away, walking towards me.

I smiled and began the difficulty process of deciding how I'd most enjoy playing with them. After all, I now had many more tools to use on them than I had a few minutes ago, and the curious part of me was dying to experiment with the divine powers I now possessed.
