Entry 84:

Linus Ozias POV:

Improvement is subjective. I have known this for a long time, as many see physical strength as the definition of improvement; others see an increase in intellect or spiritual knowledge.

I see it as all-encompassing as I not only seek to improve my body but my mind and soul and understanding of self.

I have many martial arts that can do this, as the thousands of martial arts that Batman learned, along with some Chi manipulation from Shang Chi, help to balance my chaotic mind.

I worry for the future.

Yet I feel confident in my success. It is in this paradox that I find understanding.

My doubt will always exist and anchor, keeping me firmly placed in this reality.

But I must balance that with confidence and understanding.

In this balance, I find peace and define my own improvement.

It has been 2 days since the meeting with the archangels. They've given me time to train and improve myself. I have practiced my martial arts and weapon skills and prepared my magic by creating more complex holy constructs.

Eventually, I improved far enough so that I could create a holy construct of myself to battle against, and the results have paid dividends.

With my ten charges, I increased my martial arts aptitude and soul defenses even further as now, with my fists alone, I could shatter continents, and my soul felt like an invulnerable bastion.

Relatively at base, I am nearing Peak God class, but in my god mode, I could contend with the higher levels of the Hindu Pantheon.

As my holy construct continues to battle, our blows shake Heaven itself as I am allowed to use the Heavenly Arena to practice in addition to the fact that it allows me to practice my wards and runes.

I have been fighting my construct for 2 days straight, and I thank my new Angel biology for the fact that I required no rest, as my innate magic regeneration and control allow me to essentially fight on for as long as I do not overextend. 

I will wait for the day that I may recombine with my original body, and since I had solar batteries hooked up to my original body's armor, it's still gaining strength as it awaits the completion of my quest. It will be beautiful.

Luckily, the quest itself made it so that I only needed to stop the Khaos Brigade and become a God in my own right. Or at least how it is defined in DxD.

Power level-wise, I am technically a god. Still, I do not possess the innate energy unique to Divine beings. I assume I would need to take over Heaven and combine with the god system to ignite the spark that I apparently have within me.

I thank my broken limiter essence that when I become a God, I will not be beholden to the faith energy I gain from my worshipers as those limits are broken, but it will be an excellent addition to my arsenal. 

Every day, I thank the fact that I am allowed to have this journey as the people I have met are those many will not meet in their lifetime. I've seen the wonders of deep space, and now I've seen the wonders of godly domains, yet even in the face of eternal life, I find myself excited.

Because, unlike most immortal beings, I have ways to make anyone I meet eternal along with me so I won't end up like Salem from the RWBY franchise and embittered and alone.

Eventually, I will have my own multiverse created from the worlds that I have saved or possibly destroyed. Who knows? Life is chaotic that way, and while I am one for controlling chaos, I understand that both need to exist.
