[Tsk, I've always complained that the human form is too weak, but I didn't expect to change into this, it's a bit too extreme...]

And now, this step can be skipped; their gene modules and even physical components directly manifest upon this New God's body.
As with the data, in this world, Deity-level beings must personally take the field.

Below is a hurricane made of flames.
