We all know that the gods do not procreate with each other because they know they will create a calamity or a possible monster capable of killing the gods themselves.
Iop had once made the mistake of breaking that rule by drunkenly trespassing in Sadida’s sanctuary and deflowering Lacrima, one of Sadida’s ten divine dolls. Lacrima was a part of Sadida so Iop had essentially done the same thing to Sadida. Therefore, because Lacrima ended up getting pregnant and conceiving a child, Iop impregnated Sadida.
And just like that strict rule predicted, the offspring of two gods resulted in a monstrous child who possessed the power to slay those same gods. This child was named Cornu Mollu.
So what would happen if two demigods got together?
We know what kind of children a demigod would get with a mortal.
Goultard, a demigod iop, is an example of this and we can see how in the Dofus manga, he had many women and numerous children due to his relationships.
But despite growing so many families, the offsprings themselves couldn’t live as long as him. Every year, since their deaths, he goes back to the cemetery to pay respects to his wives and children he had in the past so he would never forget them and would be reminded that they all existed.
We even see in a special episode attributed to him that the kids were simply mortals.
So children belonging to a demigod and a mortal are either mortals or they can live very long but wouldn’t be labelled as a demigod.
We can also see that it can be possible for demigods to NOT be able to have children with mortals.
Otomaï, a demigod feca, is an example of this case. He once had a mortal woman in his life who was named Merina.
Unlike Goultard’s wives, Merina was the only woman in Otomaï’s life. The two had met at a young age and even went to school together. She would constantly follow him around when he was making his discoveries with science and would admire his knowledge and fascination for these kinds of things.
She later became a shepherdess and even told Otomaï she wanted to grow a family of their own so they could become the shepherds of their home.
But despite loving one another to the purest level, Merina wasn’t able to conceive a child with Otomaï. No matter how badly Merina wanted a family, their efforts were in vain. Otomaï wasn’t worried about her situation, however. He simply told her that in time, they would eventually have a child.
Merina's time was running out, unlike Otomaï who had all the time in the world. Therefore, Otomaï made a promise to find a way to make her pregnant, anticipating that with their efforts, they will soon be blessed with a child.
But no matter how hard he tried, he constantly failed over and over again. Merina was never angry at his attempts, however.
At some point in their lives, Merina eventually died of old age without making a family with him.
Otomaï was so distraught by this that he tried transferring her wakfu but to no avail. He even took out her reproductive organs to sew them in Dathura’s stomach in a desperate attempt but with no success.
After Merina's death, Otomaï decided to bury her beneath the shade of a tree. Sometime later, an acorn sprouted from that very tree, which was peculiar since it was the only one that had ever grown on that tree. This occurrence sparked a newfound hope in Otomaï to try again in order to preserve a memory of Merina's life.
After conducting his research and utilizing his alchemy skills along with the power of Merina's acorn, he was able to create Ogrest - a remarkable achievement that showcases the power of combining science and nature.
Otomaï’s story with Merina is possibly one of the only instances where we got to see a demigod unable to reproduce with a mortal. It is uncertain whether Merina's inability to bear children was due to her implied infertility or if Otomaï was the underlying cause. It's also possible that neither of them would have been able to have kids, regardless of who their partner was. The reader is left to draw their own conclusions on this matter.
We have learned two things about a demigod having a child with a mortal based on the cases of Goultard and Otomaï :
1) A demigod can reproduce with a mortal and can either have mortal children or children who can last a bit longer than the average mortal.
2) A demigod can try reproducing with a mortal but can fail no matter how many times they try.
So here’s where we come back to the question that started all of this.
What would happen if TWO demigods got together instead?
Based on my personal observation, there was just one instance in the krosmoz where we got to witness this particular situation unfolding. And that was in the Ogrest manga featuring two specific characters.
Kali and Poo.
Kali and Poo were in a romantic relationship which resulted in Kali becoming pregnant with their child.
Translation in the red circle.
Kali: “And who are you to tell me that?”
Poo: “The father of the child you’re carrying.”
But there are two issues regarding this peculiar situation.
Number One: Would the child turn out to become a demigod as well?
Number Two: Would it turn into a monster like Cornu Mollu capable of killing divinities?
In volume 4, Kali's stomach does not appear to have any significant pregnancy bump which suggests that she was still in the early stages of her pregnancy. Despite this, she was still able to move around and perform physical activities with ease, including killing people and using their body parts as clothing. This indicates that Kali recently discovered she was pregnant and was still capable of functioning normally during the early stages of her pregnancy. As the child grows, it remains uncertain how they will turn out.
Unfortunately, the Ogrest manga is still not complete but Mig, the illustrator for the manga, has recently been giving little sneak peeks on volume 5 so we will eventually see Kali and Poo again very soon.
Regardless, it still begs the question of what might happen to the future baby.
But what is even more baffling to realize, for those who have read the manga at least, Kali is NOT pregnant in Season 3 and Season 4.
Her involvement with Poo happened in the Dofus era so we should be able to see the child in the Wakfu era. And yet, we don’t see anything about them. We don’t get a mention of them or if they even exist.
This is rather odd because Kali and Poo were very much always seen together in the fourth volume of the Ogrest manga when they became adults.
So the child should’ve been conceived between the Dofus and Wakfu era right?
Again, if we look at the gods, they strictly do NOT meddle with each other because they are aware of what they can make together.
Poo and Kali don’t seem like they know this fact. Or maybe they simply don't care.
So here are four possibilities I came up with:
1) The child has been conceived but is a demigod sacrier or pandawa and there are no consequences to Kali and Poo’s affair.
2) The child is a mortal sacrier or pandawa but died from old age between the two eras.
3) The child is an actual monster and due to its nature, the brotherhood of the forgotten had to kill it whether Kali and Poo wanted to or not.
4) Kali had a miscarriage because two demigods are not able to fully have a child together.
Personally, I cannot think of any positive outcomes for the child. I think that no matter what happens, it will not be good.
