It only took a few minutes under that pressure for Atlas's soul to become entirely divine. It completely changed, elevating to the level of a god. Atlas's aura shifted; everything about the boy was different. The process was so smooth that it made it seem easy to the other spectators.
What few were able to observe was Atlas's proficiency in manipulating his soul. The boy could see his soul and adjust every inch of it as it was being created. Only two magicians in the universe were capable of this: one of them was Kayden, and the other was the Emperor of the Universe.
Atlas had become a god, but at the same time, he still had not fully become one. He still needed to go through something different, a process that all gods, even those who became gods in controversial and meaningless ways, were forced to undergo. The heavens needed to test Atlas to prove he was worthy of being a god.
