527 Side Chapter: Kaggoth

-----

Rajason, the little brother of Rajaba had died before Kaggoth could have done anything to rescue him, but his soul was secured through the Dungeon Reincarnation Cycle, and Kaggoth managed to catch it and maintain it healthy until it was reincarnated with its memories.

She knew that her descendant, Rajaba, would become greatly upset if she discovered that her little brother, the one she had started all this crusade for, was dead. At the very least, she wanted to tell her the possibility of reincarnating Rajason as one of her direct children in one of her prepared eggs inside her egg sack.

The child would be reborn as a species of giant crab with exceptional strength and intelligence, similar to Kaggoth's original race when she was a mortal.

But things turned otherwise…

Rajaba was rescued from a misunderstanding when she was about to be eaten by one of the members of the party by Gufumin. Since then, the two had become inseparable… Of course, Gufumin was a young and attractive ghoul boy and had many girls behind him, but Rajaba seemed like the only 'sane' between all of them, so he naturally stuck with her much more than the rest of the girls, which he knew for way longer but didn't felt particularly safe with.

And a few days before clashing against the dungeon boss, the top fell into a night of passion- Both never thought that only one night would be enough for a child to be created… but it seems that Gufumin underappreciated the power of his seed.

What they didn't know is that Kireina's Slime Clones intervened in their night and granted them both their blessings so impregnation was secured even with a difference between races… these Slime Clones were naturally connected with Kireina's soul and mind, so she used her powers related with Lust to make it possible as she had done with her own wives.

It was a mere experiment, those that she enjoyed doing, wondering if it could be possible for a half-ghoul and half-crab Arachne to be born.

Of course, the child was still but a mere combination of cells, without possessing a soul yet, so it was still possible to insert Rajason's soul inside.

"T-This is too sudden!" said Gufumin.

"Gufu… Gufumiiinnn!" shouted Katara, one of the Undead Team members and a girl that was obsessed with Gufumin… she had one single scarlet eye and a long and sticky tongue which she used to wrap and trap Gufumin.

"Agh! S-Sorry!!!"

"I can't believe it, I can't believe it, I can't believe it! I am going to… I am really going to eat this little crab now!" shouted Futima, another of the members of the Undead Team, extending her monstrous black hair like jaws and tentacles, launching them towards Rajaba.

"Sigh…" sighed Kireina's Slime Clones as she released a wave of Divinity that made the two girls freeze.

"You two stop your stupidity or I'll separate you from the team. Gufumin is not a toy for only you two but a person. If you do not understand this and try to attack the two again, I won't be as merciful… got it?" said the slime clone, that only resembled a mass of red jelly.

Katara and Futima nodded their heads so fast that they would detach and roll out at any time if they continued a few more seconds, their pale white skin began to sweat like never before.

"Y-Yes, Kireina-sama!"

"S-Sorry, perhaps we went too far? T-Teehee~?"

Gufumin and Rajaba were freed from the crazy yandere undead girls, taking a breath.

"T-Thanks, Kireina-sama… I… ugh…"

"Fatima, Katara, you two need to calm down! That Gufumin chose me does not mean that he does not love you or anything… But how do you want to be loved if you are so aggressive? Gufumin himself told me that you two were way too obsessive! Maybe if you want his love, you should work hard for it instead of demanding it because you think he is yours!" said Rajaba, instead of fearing the girls, she confronted them… after evolving twice, she had become strong enough to be more confident on herself.

Fatima and Katara gnashed their teeth in frustration but they also began to acknowledge their mistakes in their romantic approach.

They seemed completely enraged, but after maintaining all the anger, they began to cry like little girls, it seems that Rajaba hit right through the truth.

Yurei and Jorogumo apologized to the rest of the party as they carried the two girls away.

"There, there, Katara-san, Futima-san, you two are precious girls, Gufumin does not hate you, but perhaps he wants you to be more… err, open-minded? And a bit more gentle, perhaps" said Yurei with gentle words.

"That's right, calm down you two, don't build a drama out of small misunderstanding, you two are strong girls!" said Jorogumo.

"Sniff… I guess so…"

"Maybe… Sniff…"

"Sigh…"

"Sigh…"

Kaggoth and Kireina's Slime Clones sighed, they did not expect some drama right out of the blue…

"Mortals are really so… diverse and… well, interesting," said Kaggoth.

"You're right… anyways, Rajaba, what do you think?" asked Kireina, making Rajaba awaken from the small conflict happening and putting her mind once again into what currently was truly going on, she was meeting her progenitor goddess herself, which was giving her the chance to reincarnate her little brother as her child…

"W-Well… it is… it should be fine then… I feel like I should consult my father and my mother about this… but it is not like there can be anything done about it, they're too old to make another child, and I cannot just ask our citizens either, mating season has been over for a lot of time and it won't come back in years… that I am pregnant must be but a miracle of our goddess blessings, so I shall accept my little brother as my son" said Rajaba with a gentle and slightly motherly smile, she was already like a second mother to her little brother, so she didn't felt much change from that perspective.

"Gufu… Gufumin, right? What do you think? You're the father after all" said Kaggoth, glancing at Gufumin with her large and beady black eyes.

Gufumin had gone through a bit much, but he was recovering and was now being glanced by a giant demon crab, he was certainly not calm… but it was not like he would reject his own child.

"It is fine by me…" said Gufumin.

"Very well then…" said Kaggoth, as she summoned Rajason's soul, which resembled a small lump of yellow light that slowly entered Rajaba's womb and settled down.

Rajaba, for a small moment, felt her little brother's voice.

"Onee-san… thanks…"

After such little words, Rajason fell into slumber until the time for being reborn came.

"And it is done… I've also left my blessings inside his soul, and I will use this opportunity to bless you as well, my daughter," said Kaggoth as she blessed Rajaba as well.

"Ah… goddess-sama, thank you so much!" said Rajaba, breaking down in tears of happiness, Gufumin hugged her tightly as the two young adults began to think about their future together and their child.

"Now that this is done, what did you wanted to speak with me?" asked Kireina's Slime Clones, as they all converged together into a single red slime, that slowly took the shape of Kireina until it seemed to be her exact appearance… after Kireina acquired skills such as [Multi-Talented Hive Mind Queen], she had been able to channel her main mind within her Slime Clones even if they were not directly connected with her soul, and even transfer part of her soul into them to 'embody' her true self into them for some time.

She was but a mere combination of slime clones, but because of her soul being connected through her skills, she leaked her powerful divinity, which made Kaggoth tremble both in fear and excitement… she was already fascinated by Kireina's strength.

"Ahh… such divinity…! So large… so complex! Yes… Please, Kireina- no, Kireina-sama! Please, let me join your god's pantheon, and let my children live in your Empire, I implore of you!"

"I suspected that you wanted that as much… there is no problem in that, but you know the fees, right?" asked Kireina.

"Of course! A piece of my divinity, right? I've already prepared it!" said Kaggoth, taking it out of her Divine Realm and giving Kireina a flask filled with an azure blue dew-like liquid.

"You seem to have waned this very badly, any reason?" asked Kireina's Slime Clone Colony.

"Security! I am nothing but a weak Demigoddess, my children's tribe is also small and unknown… perhaps being unknown has made them not a target for many generations, but as the world keeps going and as the central continents keep improving… I feel like the fragile prosperity that I and my children are enjoying will soon break apart… especially after knowing about a group of lone gods led by a god capable of breaking through space and entering Divine Realms! Who knows who would be targeted next?" said Kaggoth with a worried voice, as she couldn't show many expressions on her crab face.

"I see, so it is a similar motive to Nyzzet…"

Nyzzet and Kaggoth had almost the exact motives for wanting to join Kireina. They did not have anyone better to ask for help and were completely alone, weak, and desperate. The only option was their neighborhood, Kireina.

Kireina's pantheon did not discriminate against any type of god, as long as they did not have any history of being particularly hostile against her. And what she asked for as compensation was someone that every god had, a piece of their divinity.

She also offered the complete security of the god's mortal children inside her developing Empire, where they would most of the time, enjoy better lives than in their original tribes.

"Very well then, you're in… Agatheina will 'register' you in the list of allies, and well, you will also be bonded with my soul the moment I devour this divinity, so it is not like you can betray me without me knowing about it" said Kireina's Slime Clone Colony.

Every time Kireina devoured a piece of divinity, her soul would be connected to the original user of such divinity, this is how she was capable of breaking through Geggoron's Divine Realm alongside all of her other tools used in that time, because of such connection.

However, this 'connection' was something that gods were not aware of and were completely incapable of telling, it was something that only Kireina could somehow tell, which was probably related to her unique skills and 'Uroboros'.

"Thank you, Kireina-sama! And I would never betray you! You've already given me so much through this alliance… Haah, I feel like a lot of weight from my exoskeleton has been lifted" said Kaggoth as she bubbled in relaxation.

"So we are moving to Kireina-sama's Empire now, goddess-sama?" asked Rajaba.

"That's right my daughter, don't worry, it will be a way better place than living in this monster-infested beach," said Kaggoth.

"Well, that's reassuring���" said Rajaba.

"Hey, are you guys going to eat? Ganjo is already halfway through the boss" said Erathe.

"Eh?! Ganjo-sama, don't eat everything!" said Rajaba as she rushed to grab a piece of the grilled Chimeric Kraken, the rest of the team seemed more relaxed and Katara and Futima became more friendly after receiving a bit of a reality check from Kireina and Rajaba.

"Ah, should I give you this dungeon as well? If Kireina-sama is here, you can freely take it with you, though I cannot move it from here" said Kaggoth.

"Don't worry, I will go take care of it… but I am quite hungry after seeing that Kraken, so excuse me" said Kireina's Slime Clone Colony, accompanying her servants in the large feast.

"Oh, right, enjoy your meal Kireina-sama," said Kaggoth.

Kaggoth laughed while bubbling.

"Fufu… Kireina-sama, even as strong as she is, she still has many mortal's demeanors…"
