Changeling, Rogue, ???, Great Natural Divinity

It isn’t just a giant or a mountain; an enormous, living tree is sitting quietly to my left. His palm is above my tree and it looks as though he could swat me like a fly. The darkest of dark reigns around me to the point that I can’t even see my own feet. Even the sound of the ocean and the rest of nature is gone. It’s just me, three supreme divinities, and my tree. All of us glisten with a silvery light. They’re all beaming divine energy, something that is clearly supposed to tell me something as they speak with each other wordlessly. All I can do is stand there wondering what they want from me. Maybe, they’re going to offer me a quest. I’m going to turn them down if they do. I have more important things to worry about.

Just like last time, Azami appears in my consciousness rather than speaking to me.

“Why do you shine like a god but behave like a normal wanderer? You have a stable material form, though you also have a source of strength in the astral. You aren’t an angel, you don’t belong to any of the ancient races, and you aren’t a supreme demon. Why do you hate everyone but show love to them also? What are you?”

That’s quite a few questions, and he’s the kind of interlocutor I can’t ignore.

“I’m a demigod.”

Azami flashes sadness, as if I’m some kind of careless child.

“You aren’t an angel, you aren’t ancient, you aren’t a demon. You’re human, and you haven’t been through a single rebirth ritual. You only have one material form. What are you?”

So, you can only become a demigod after you go through a rebirth ritual? That means it’s possible, and I could have competition.

“Prayers are gestures of the heart. In the heart, feelings take form. In the heart, feelings bear fruit. You said that. Those who seek strength find it, and I was able to combine my body with an astral source. I made myself a demigod without any ritual.”

Again, Azami is grieved. I sense sadness and sympathy.

“You’re taking the path of destruction, not harmony. You wish only for your own prosperity rather than the mutual flourishing of all beings. At the Lone Tree, you showed the character of one following a path of strength and gratitude for all things, giving life, shelter, and gifts, while punishing villains. You respected the dead and were unafraid to kill. But still, that was done in harmony with the world. Now, you embody hatred toward human and god alike, though a tiny part of you still loves the children of nature. You could tip the balance of harmony in your own mind by taking on divine strength.”

“I spent two years swimming in madness, and I know for sure that I won’t be showing off my newly acquired powers for the sake of it. Because of that, there’s no reason for enmity between us. That’s what you came to find out, isn’t it? You can sense that I have no emotions whatsoever in my mind.
