[Its good that you're happy but it seems you have a huge misconception about me, I am not just Omniscient, I am also Nigh-Omnipotent. Both go hand in hand]

"Oh, then that means you are probably the most powerful of all the gods on the list right" Lucid asked because the list had clearly stated the powers and abilities of the gods on the list

[Depends on who you ask, My brother and I are aspects of the creator. The other gods are Third generation gods] Akasha explained

"What does that mean?" Lucid aske extremely confused, what did Akasha mean by Third generation, did it mean that Akasha and whoever was that brother had slept with each other

[I said watch what you think]

"Sorry"

[Don't worry, now get into the pool, by the time you come back out, you would have been remade to fit my requirements] Akasha said then push Lucid towards the pool, he did this as though it was the most normal thing to ever do.

Lucid stepped up to the edge of the pool and looked in, then took a deep breath and removed his clothes as he jumped into the pool. As soon as he touched the pool, Lucid felt some sort of energy enter his body.

Whilst in the pool, Lucid didn't feel that much different from before in fact the process of being 'remade' as Akasha had put it, was extremely anti-climatic. Lucid had expected to experience some kind of life changing moment in the pool but it turns out that apart from the energy that entered his body, this pool was no different from a regular pool, well that is if a regular pool was filled with holy water.

"Its done already?" Lucid asked as he rose to the pool's surface

"What were you expecting, pain, please don't tell me you're a masochist" Akasha replied then as he conjured a beach chair and sat down

Seeing Akasha's casual behavior, Lucid couldn't help but wonder what his stay here would be like but immediately put that at the back of his mind as he started enjoying the pool for real after all there was no difference between the water here and normal water.

"Hey are you sure this is really holy water" Lucid asked skeptically after a few minutes of swimming

"Of course it is, Holy Water is just normal water touched by a god, isn't it" Akasha replied sharply as he relaxed back into his chair, if not for the fact that Lucid knew that this guy was nigh-omnipotent and omniscient, he would have thought that he was really trying to take a vacation.

"Okay, i get it" Lucid replied then returned to swimming.

Two(2) hours later, Akasha and Lucid left the pool area as they returned to the hall and started walking through one of the passages formed by the shelves. As they continued to walk forward silently, they arrived at what seemed like a control station. With nothing more than just a single glance, one could tell that this was Akasha's main workspace.

[Congratulations, you are now my disciple, you should hear a voice in your mind in just a minute] Akasha said as he navigated his way through the various mountains of books in a well practiced manner

[Congratulations, you have acquired the title {Akasha's Protege}]

True to Akasha's words, a mysterious voice sounded in Lucid's mind. The voice sounded a lot like Akasha's but somewhat feminine

"Wait, are you female?!!" Lucid asked slightly horrified since that would change everything, he had being extremely absent minded since he came here and had behaved rudely to Akasha

[I am Genderless, We aspects dont have the pleasure of being either male or female]

"Oh thank god" Lucid shouted immediately happy that he didn't just go naked in front of a girl he just met, it didn't matter if Akasha was a god or not

[Not that it would matter anyway, I watched you grow up and have seen you grow old but you shouldn't focus on that, you should check out your new title] Akasha said dismissively then continued his work

"Okay" Lucid replied then focused on the protege title and instantly a holographic screen containing detailed explanation of the title appeared in his mind

[Title Name: Akasha's Protege

Description; This is a title given to any and all of Akasha's disciples. It can serve to identify the User when needed. It can also serve as a Location marker allowing Akasha to easily keep track of his disciples.

Effect: Grants the ability {Absolute Intellect}, An ability that grants its user, true limitless intellect, intellect far beyond that of others. It improves all aspects of the user's mind i.e its mental capacity, recognition ability etc. they would all be improved far beyond that of others]

After reading through the screen, Lucid immediately came to the conclusion that this whole thing was a load of bullshit. All the effects of the title were within the abilities of Akasha and the other gods.

The other Gods could easily identify him as Akasha's disciple since he would have Akasha's aura on him after all even if they hadn't met Akasha himself, they had all come in contact with the Akashic Plane and thus were familiar with its aura and as for its location ability, Akasha didn't need it, he was Omniscient.

He would always know where he was no matter where he hid. As for the final ability shown on the screen. Lucid didn't feel any different but he knew that if he had suddenly gained that ability then it would be from the pool.

[Wow, there is finally someone who can think for themselves] Akasha commented with a little shock on his face.

He was genuinely surprised that Lucid had subconsciously rejected the board that many races across many universes and multiverses accepted and used on daily bases

"Well it is to be expected, I may like short cuts but this is just nonsense, if I didn't think about it, I would have thought I suddenly gained immense intellect from the title instead of the Holy water in the pool.... Hmm guess the pool did have some effect" Lucid said
