[Kireina] acquired [Large Fragment of Life Divinity (Marnet)]!]

[The acquired fragments have been integrated into current Pseudo-Divinity!]

[Kireina] gained +290 Soul Stats!]

[Kireina] gained +70 HP, +30 MP, +50 Strength, and +40 Defense!]

[The Levels of the [Root of Life Attribute Magic; Level 6], and [Transcendental Barrier of Protection and Healing; Aegis; Level 3] Skills have increased!]

Both Elixirs tasted like overly sweet honeydew… it would have gone perfectly with some fluffy pancakes to appease the sweetness.

As I was glancing at the flasks that contained the Divinity Dew disappear, my Slime Clones were preparing things for the trip, from food to other materials. We would be traveling in the zeppelin-shaped floating golem slime, which I decided to just name Led Zeppelin.

Alongside the Castle Golem and other Golems such as the Vampire's Tower, they had been slaying monsters inside dungeons by extending their bodies into long tentacles and killing and eating the fiends spawning inside the labyrinths.

Led Zeppelin had just evolved, and it also received my blessing, it seems to have gained some sentience, and a small personality of its own.

"Master… Welcome back… Where will we go today…?" it asked, with a robotic voice.

Yeah, it can talk now. This feels like a futuristic spaceship AI now…

Its inside has been 'upgraded' a bit, and it now resembles the throne room of the castle a lot, there are even bricks and all. And several rooms for everyone to have some privacy.

Led Zeppelin was originally a floating ship made out of floating slimes and other materials, alongside my Slime Clones. After some time, I converted it into a golem with 'Golem Creation' and merged both the slimes and the golem into one with 'Synthesis'.

After evolving once, it has become this. It has inherited a lot of the abilities I once used over it. Such as the ability to create an illusive coating to be almost undetected, the ability to generate Magic Guns and Cannons, and the ability to fly at immense speed with propulsion force.

The best thing is that no matter how fast it travels, its inside remains comfy and secure. This is because after it evolved, the inside space became something similar to 'a different space'.

When I talked to the gods about Led Zeppelin, they were quite bewildered as well. They had never seen a sentient flying ship in their lives. Even less one that could level up and learn skills, alongside having a status in the System.

I divided my body into two, the original one would go to explore, while I will stay in the Empire with my second one, which will also carry my child, who is peacefully sleeping and growing inside of my second womb.

I wonder if I can get pregnant again with my first body… most likely, but I do not really want to. It may cause some troubles whenever I merge back my bodies into one.

Also, I have many children, and there are many coming as well… let me have a break from creating more in the meantime.

I will stay with my second body mostly inside the castle, accompanying Adelle, Nephiana, and Mady, as always. Although Nephiana and Adelle could come with my first body, they prefer to take care of our children, which I approve of. Mady's eggs still have some time before hatching, though the fetus inside of the semi-transparent eggs has developed a lot.

Using my second body, I shall take care of Nirah, Belle, and the Seven Harpy Chicks, while in my first body I will go to resolve the issues in the Moonfang Kingdom…

This will be the first time that I am going so far away from my divided body, but it's for the best. I do not want to go pregnant into fights, better leave the baby safe with my second body, protected behind the Empire.

"Are you going away again, Mommy? Can we go with you?" asked Vudia.

"Vudia-chan, my second body will be with yours, I share the same mind with that body, so it's pretty much an extension of myself, I am not going anywhere," I said, with my first and second body, talking at the same time.

"But I want to go! I want to explore and fight that Geggoron idiot!" she said.

"Me too, me too!" said Ailine.

"But it may be dangerous… we are fighting a Demon God after all… and there might be even more Gods involved… if I were to lose any of you, I couldn't forgive myself" I said, patting the two girls.

"Vudia, Ailine, you will also need to keep taking classes with the Gods," said Rimuru.

"That's right," said Brontes.

I had already decided in leaving my children in my Empire, as always. I don't want to recklessly send them to a fight between Gods… even if they are very strong, they lack experience in certain areas, and some are a bit… naïve.

"Well, it is not like you will lose on all the battles, I can bring you to help me out," I said.

"Really? And how?" asked Ailine.

I waved my hands and opened a portal at my side, which led to the Inner Realm inside of my Soul.

"I have two bodies, but we are the same person. You can enter in here…"

I used my second body to open a portal as well.

"And come in here," I said.

"Ah! So, we can travel towards mommy one through mommy two?" asked Vudia.

"Indeed, by entering through my Inner Realm, through my second body, you can reach my first body. After all, we share the same soul, although we are divided, we are the same" I said, with both of my bodies.

"Impressive… Honey, you are like a walking teleportation gate now?!" asked Zehe.

"I… well, I suppose so. I can also bring you all inside of my Inner Realm… but the inside of it is eerie and damp, I do not think everyone would enjoy this" I said.

"Well, I would… I lived in a swamp" said Nesiphae, with a happy smile.

"Well, I don't. It's too cold and damp in there… my fur would get all wet" said Nefertiti.

"Hm, see? Not everyone would like to stick inside of it for too long… I need to upgrade my Inner Realm, and perhaps create some kind of biome that could be more suitable to live inside." I analyzed.

After my children said their goodbyes to their mothers, who would be accompanying me, we set sail through the sky over Led Zeppelin.

The Moonfang Kingdom was located to the far south of the Grand Forest, it was further away than the Cilane Kingdom, crossing over one hundred kilometers. Of course, over a living spaceship that can travel at incredible speed, we would be arriving after a few hours.

We would be crossing long plains, arid areas where no vegetation grows, and an area filled with large lakes, which are surrounded by demi-human villages, who had found their home around these areas, away from the strong Kingdoms such as the former Athetosea, Thanatos and Azuma to the north.

Throughout our trip, we came across a large flock of wyverns that tried to take us down, but Altani decided to go stretch a bit. Flying through the skies with her wings, she massacred the unfortunate fiends into pieces and brought their meat.

Afterward, a giant Storm Dragon tried to attack us because we had entered its territory, but Led Zeppelin blasted it into pieces with magic cannons, which were enhanced with the Mana of everyone inside the ship.

We came across a giant, a creature that I had never found before. A humanoid that was over one hundred meters tall. Carrying a mountain-sized club. It seemed to be stupid because it tried to take us down.

Brontes, Nesiphae, Nixephine, Oga, and Lilith went outside and transformed into titans, although they could not match its height, it was enough to crush him to death. Afterward, Nesiphae and Nixephine, who had become experts in butchering, brought the entire giant cut into pieces, which we degusted through our journey.

It was an easygoing and carefree trip.

[Kireina] gained 34.772.990.600 EXP!]

[LEVEL 075/250] [EXP 325.029.403.100/515.000.000.000]

[The Levels of the [True Grotesque Existence; Demon Goddess Hermaphroditus; Level 3], and [Calamity Abyss Demon Limbs; One Thousand Hellish Arms and Jaws of Slaughter; Level 4] Skills have increased!]

I cannot even keep my skills now, they all get instantly assimilated… well, it's convenient. I feel that my body had become a bit sturdier and stronger.

As the sun slowly moved down the horizon and the afternoon came, a small village of cat beastmen was engulfed in fire and cries for help…

Crazed anthropomorphic beasts ravaged the small and weaker cat beastmen, without letting them any room to defend or even run away… Wolf beastmen who had transformed through the 'Beast Transformation' Skill, becoming powerful werewolves.

Their strength would increase but their judgment would disappear, they would become crazed and wild creatures that only desired to bathe in blood and ravage others.

Wolf Beastmen would usually never develop their Transformation Skills so much, knowing the dangerousness of their transformations and the damage and suffering that it could inflict on innocents.

Such transformations would only be mastered by members of noble families or of the royal family of Sunclaw… yet, these Wolf Beastmen, who were but mere bandits, had somehow unlocked this latent talent and were abusing it to attack defenseless cat beastmen villages.

This was all part of Geggoron's plan. He was a scheming monster, and would often slowly influence the beastmen to diminish their own people, creating chaos, where he would feel comfortable in.

Small villages getting destroyed by crazed beastmen had become something oddly common by now in the Moonfang Kingdom…

Due to the constant disputes between the two Kingdoms, both of them would constantly send groups of soldiers, warriors, mercenaries, or even bandits to diminish each other in a desperate war of attrition.

Of course, such bandits were also influenced by the new church of Geggoron, who had appeared in both Kingdoms… using strange artifacts and items, the soldiers, mercenaries, or bandits that used them would awaken their inner transformation talents, but would crave for destruction and massacre more than anything.

This village was mostly composed of common cat beastmen, they were agile, but possessed poor physical strength, some families tried to run away, but the number of bandits in this raid was baffling, being over thirty units, all of them transformed into powerful beast fiends. Their strength was capable of crushing the cat beastmen into pieces with a punch, and their agility could easily match them…

It was a battle where they could not defend themselves, neither run away. They were destined to die.

The cries of the children… the piles of bloody and minced flesh and broken bones, coupled with fur and the odor of burning corpses… she sensed it.

The Living Deity of Desert Cat Beastmen could not stay still, their children were suffering more than ever… if she were to leave them to die… how could she confront herself anymore?

Mohini rushed towards the village at an incredible speed. Her beautiful chocolate-colored skin, wide hips, and generous chest, alongside her blonde, almost golden hair, cat ears, and tail were covered in a long brown hood.

"Bwahahahaha! Massacre! Devour! Ravage! Do as Geggoron-sama says! And you shall be rewarded with even more delicious flesh, my brothers!" shouted a crazed Wolf Beastmen, its appearance had changed, becoming completely covered in gray fur, with bulging muscles and a wolf-like head, baring its sharp fangs drooling with saliva and blood.

"Please, not my son! Spare him! Please, spare him! He is only a year old, he's but a baby! Eat me instead! Stop!" shouted a cat beastmen, cowering in fear while protecting his child who was but a year of age. Although it was not a baby, as cat beastmen grew incredibly fast. But to a father, it was still his baby.

"Shut up!" shouted the werewolf, smashing the cat beastmen, sending him flying through the air.

"Gyaaah…!"

The small kid, who had the appearance of a human boy on his four years of age but was one year old, quivered in fear as it saw the insane werewolf, about to crush his head with a sole bite.

"Why would I eat your father?! You are so young! So tender and juicy! Delicious! Even your bones will be as tender as eating bread! DIE!" shouted the werewolf.

The kid protected his face with his little arms, his heart beating so fast that he could barely hear anything else… he had only been born a year ago and was barely known about the world, and his life was already going to be taken away from him. Such was the truth about this world…

Yet, some gods denied this truth.
