The next thing was quite easy to do, more so since Elizabeth had decided this particular combination ages ago.
Every one that she had done was either because Elizabeth followed her insticts or because she liekd the match, that was how each of the minions had been born.
The Shadow Dragons were born because Elizabeth felt compelled to shape her shadows into the form of a fluffy Dragon to hug. Was it her past calling at her? It didn't matter at this point did it?
The Fire Salamanders were born from the passion Elizabeth felt for the red-haired girl, the passion that burned under the shy and meek Rena.
The Thunder Birds... From the foolish hubris that was her own Pride. No further explanation was needed, even the fact that their caretaker was a former Shadow Dragon (Reginald) spoke greatly about how flawed Elizabeth and her hubris was.
The Eternal Snake and the Space Fox got birthed out of more necessity than anything else. Elizabeth needed something to help her with both time and space, and perhaps some of that reflected in how they had come out.
She didn't have issues with Aura and Mira, not really, but she hoped that they would get around to their perceived differences. She wasn't quite sure why they seemed to be so much at... odds. Especially when one goes around the fact that Time and Space should be quite compatible.
The Spectral Owl species was different in that regard, Elizabeth didn't really need them at the moment, but it felt right to make. Besides, she quite liked that one, of all her minions (The sentient ones anyway) this one was the only one that hadn't given her any type of trouble.
So what was what remained?
Shadows joined with Gluttony and that birthed (Or finished) the creation of the Shadow Dragons.
Fire and Wrath Fire fused and that birthed the Fire Salamanders. Easy right?
Lightning joined the Pride of both her past lives and the inheritance from Chloe to create... the Thunder Birds. An aberration and an affront to nature and everything that was sacred, how had something that came from Chloe made such a thing? Elizabeth would never know.
As for Space, it joined Sloth. As that had been what Michael had wanted more than anything, to rest after a millennium of effort, something that Elizabeth could respect.
Even if Time Envied, the choice that Elizabeth made, she was still confident in that Time was well matched with Envy.
As for Soul? It went to Greed, where it would seek to take for itself the souls of those that died within her Domain and ensure they were well taken, at least till they could return to the circle of reincarnation... That Elizabeth would need to manage sooner rather than later if her progress was really accelerating.
But among the options for things that she could use Lust with?
There weren't many options available, but she wouldn't have picked another one anyway.
"Lust," Elizabeth said placing a hand atop her belly button, she didn't need to do it like this of course, as the Sin was fused with her very essence, but she still had the underlying feeling of when her body had taken it in.
And it felt correct to do it like this.
Then transforming her right hand into a dragon claw, Elizabeth sank it into her chest, "Divinity." The next second she ripped out something from her chest, the wound didn't leak a single drop of blood or anything.
If someone had arrived when Elizabeth was done, they would have found her with no visible wound.
Divinity was something Elizabeth had acquired out of order, it was among the first things she could wield, and the one she could not control, not fully.
She had taken advantage of getting it early of course, it was how she had managed to defeat [ShadowPact] when she was way behind his league. It was what allowed the asshole to do many of the things that he had done within her Soulscape. And it was what Elizabeth... didn't like.
It felt Wrong to abuse something like this, but that was that, and this was this. At the moment she wanted to ensure that everything went as planned.
"Do you really think it's wise to do that right now?" Mordred asked from the side as Elizabeth held the two Gems.
"It's fine, Rossie and Rena would never make this harder." Elizabeth said moving both gems closer and closer, "Besides... Where I do this will not affect the result."
Elizabeth said as she gingerly kissed the Lust Gem, and as if she was never going to see it again, she very carefully placed it atop the Divinity gem.
"Be birthed, you who will help stabilize the world." Elizabeth commanded as the two gems started to melt and fuse into a new single entity, "Be birthed and stabilize the world, help spread Love upon what was once a dead planet."
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
Elizabeth smiled as the gems reacted to her command and a new Minion... No, a new life form was birthed. The new resulting SEED sank back into her body.
But Elizabeth knew better than anyone, the SEED had not entered her physical body, instead it traversed between time and space back to Terra Nexus, the planet that was now stabilizing more firmly.
There, a new organism was born, a small, adorable, and cute creature with red eyes and a taste for vengeance was born.
"Mistress... Why did you make it a rabbit?" Mordred asked as she peeked through a shadow portal.
Right, the girl was the one commanding all the shadows within Terra Nexus when Elizabeth was busy.
"Well, it felt right with the theme." Elizabeth said as the new critter started looking around.
"No bunny girl then?" Mordred asked confused, "I half expected a race of succubi or at least something that exposed more skin...and not fur."
"You are overthinking it Mordred," Elizabeth said shaking her head as she felt the planet slowly spin. The stupid dead rock wasn't spinning before. It was a miracle —or not. The planet was dead before, so it was beside the point whether or not gravity existed. "They are born as a help to spread love(Life) to the planet."
"... What... What are their skills?" Mordred said gulping, "What kind of abomination have you dropped on the planet Mistress?"
"Rude," Elizabeth said puffing her cheeks, "But if you want to know, here..."
Elizabeth snapped her fingers and a singular Fire Salamander appeared, it was a lone one, one that never quite meshed with the rest for whatever reason. You know the type.
"A Fire Salamander?" Mordred asked seeing the image.
The Pink Bnnuy jumped a few times around the new interloper, and before the Fire Salamander could do anything, there was a poof of pink smoke and the bunny was...
"It's standing atop a new Fire Salamander?" Mordred asked turning to Elizabeth, "Did you summon two?"
"Nothing like that, that is their skill." Elizabeth said shaking her head, "They spread life (Love) by taking some mana from the entity in front of them, should they desire love, they will become the perfect match for whoever wants it."
"... You made the myth of sirens, mixed it with succubi and packed it in the form of a white rodent?" Mordred asked aghast. "Isn't that rude to the poor Fire Salamander?"
"Nothing like that," Elizabeth said shaking her head, "The Pink Bnnuy will be everything they desire, and as soon as they take a form they will never be able to leave it."
Elizabeth didn't want a race of creatures that took advantage of everyone around, "I made it so that each of them will only be able to take one form and be locked behind it, unless they have a fallout within the first week or so, then that bnnuy is stuck like that."
"Then you made a new race and made it go extinct in the first day?" Mordred was confused, "Wasn't your chant to make the world go round? This will not make a dent..."
"Not yet, look." Elizabeth said as the new Fire Salamander snugged the Fire Salamander that Elizabeth had summoned, at first it was suspicious of course, but after (Elizabeth accelerated the time near them) a few weeks they started hanging around and soon enough they opened their hearts to each other. "And there it is."
Elizabeth smiled at the image, the former bnnuy spat a burst of pink mist, from there a new Pink Bnnuy was born.
"And they lived happily ever after," Elizabeth said nodding at her achievement, "If they make or find true love, a new bunny will be born. And this new one will seek to find their true love, resetting the cycle.
"... Wouldn't that make them the new sovereign species?" Mordred pointed out, "While the Shadow Dragons are the easier to make, if they ever get ahold of one of our kin..."
"Nothing like that, they will even out at some point, besides while in their white rabbit form they aren't... quite sentient. They travel using instinct and seek those who haven't found true love. They are closer to a symbiotic species that will ensure life always finds its way." Elizabeth said dismissing the fears, "Besides, they will never keep the abilities of the species they take form and inherit to the new bnnuy species."
"And that is why they don't get a bunny girl form then?" Mordred asked, "I half expected a new race of cute girls."
"They are asexual as their bnnuy form." Elizabeth said shaking her head, "At best they would be androgynous in form, and... I am not quite sure why you all ended up as cute girls. But we do have a few men."
"Reginald never stays in his human form more than a few seconds if he can prevent it. Most of the Shadow Dragons that could take in a human form do not, since they return to their former visages... And the thunder birds are a bunch of blondes running around and zapping each other. Those girls are weird." Mordred said shaking her head,.
...A bunch of girls electrocuting themselves while running around? If Elizabeth hadn't heard them speak before, she might have been tempted to look into that.
"Let's check on the others first, okay?" Elizabeth said shaking her head, "Or do you think I should check on the planet itself?"
Elizabeth had felt Terra Nexus start to spin after all.
"Any problems with the planet that need to be addressed?" Elizabeth asked, looking at the planet as a whole, the broken landmasses had started to mend, and there was the beginning of an ocean being formed.
"The planet itself is being stabilized as we speak, as most of our former brethren turned into actual living beings, we had to evacuate them to the Shadow Haven, as that was the only place that could somehow support an atmosphere thanks to the technology left behind." Mordred said bringing out a holopad with some data.
"Who even makes a city that can create its own atmosphere..." Elizabeth said shaking her head, knowing the answer already, the asshole probably wanted to do something stupid as making a flying city/spaceship city or whatever weird thing.
Elizabeth couldn't think of another reason why the Shadow Haven could generate its own atmosphere.
"I beg you pardon Mistress?" Mordred asked confused, "Why is it an issue?"
"...It isn't, but no normal city would..." Elizabeth started only to stop herself short, why was she even complaining about this? It was good for her, it annoyed her, but if not for this boon, she would have needed to waste god knows how much mana to keep her inhabitants safe. "It doesn't matter, so what is that we need to do?"
Elizabeth didn't want to think more about that, not right now anyway.
"For now, it would do if you stabilize the uncontrolled tides," Mordred said shifting the image of Terra Nexus to what looked like a badly drawn puddle, that is to say, from outer space it looked like a badly drawn puddle. "Lady Aura noticed the planet was stabilizing and getting a new atmosphere, so she sourced some ice from the local asteroid belt, with some help from the Fire Salamanders we managed to get some water for the oceans, but failed to account that the planet didn't had a stable gravity field yet, so the water has been floating around the planet as uncontrolled blobs."
Elizabeth wasn't sure what to think about this development, on one hand, yay, she didn't need to spend a couple of centuries casting water magic to fill the (Frankly of biblical proportions) bathtub.
On the other hand, who even drops asteroids made of Ice to create an ocean? I mean, smart. But still!
Wasn't that kind of dangerous? Wasn't that an event that could... end a world?
Well, her planet wasn't technically alive, so perhaps it was fine? Not that it mattered since they had done it anyway.
"So... Gravity, deal with the blob of water you girls couldn't wait to throw into a nascent planet... Anything else?" Elizabeth asked sighing, she was supposed to be the dumb bimbo here, why had they thought that making an ocean in a planet with barely any gravity or atmosphere was a smart thing to do?
"If you can help us settle the atmosphere that would be appreciated too. The artificial atmosphere within The Shadow Haven is keeping everything in order, but having to breathe is becoming quite the hassle. I can see why the thunder birbs decided to adapt into breathing underwater and hitching a ride within the floating ocean." Mordred said sighing.
"They did what?" Elizabeth asked confused, wasn't... weren't... Weren't they Thunderbirds? "They are... breathing underwater?"
Elizabeth used her Domain to ensure it, and sure enough, the stupid birds were currently swimming within the blob of water floating over the equatorial line of Terra Nexus...
Did the adapt to water? Not really, the stupid birds were doing all sorts of overly complicated calculations to create a sphere of air within the water blob, using electricity to generate an electrolysis effect and make O2... Within the water.
Because they couldn't be bothered to live like civilized people within the Shadow Haven.
"I swear to god, I don't know where these stupid birds get this stupid attitude." Elizabeth said sighing, all the while she was well aware that Mordred was probably wishing that she wasn't that fully entangled with her body. It was kind of amusing seeing the faces the black-haired girl made as she pretended to be cool as a cucumber.
"We also wonder that sometimes Mistress," Was all that Mordred said about it.
"Well, time to go at it." Elizabeth sighed, they had spent enough time on this and not enough on doing any actual work after all. "First I'll get around to fix the issue with gravity... Then Atmosphere... Then the issue with the continental masses and worry about where to settle the stupid flying ocean."
Elizabeth had her work cut out for her.
