"What? A blessing? Me?" asked Nixephine, as she checked her status.

"Yeah, could the woman you met in your dreams be related with that blessing?" I asked.

Nixephine sat down in the large bed for a moment as she glanced at the status windows several times to make sure.

"That's… I really do have a blessing… But this name is quite complicated to say… was this Goddess the scorpion lady from my dream?" asked Nixephine.

Agatheina from within the artifact that I used to contact her heard Nixephine's words and could not help but ask about the name.

"Nixephine-sama, what could be the name of that goddess?" asked Agatheina.

"Well, it's named Malina… Malinalxo…chitl?" said Nixephine.

"Malinalxochitl? Yes… this Goddess is also part of the Realm of Aztlan, it is in fact the sister of the God that blessed Nephiana-sama, Huitzilopochtli. How mysterious… What could be the true intentions of these gods to bless someone so far away from the Realm they govern?" wondered Agatheina.

"She seemed quite friendly, it was a very soothing dream unlike the one that Nephiana described she had… and well, Adelle had a different dream altogether," said Nixephine.

"There isn't anything we can extract from it as the dreams were way too ambiguous… so we can only keep living as we do until these gods communicate with us more openly, and even then, I am not willing to give out favors in exchange of blessings, they will have to pay more than that, much more," I said.

"Haah~ Kireina-sama is always so cool when she gets greedy, fufu~" laughed Agatheina.

Agatheina seemed enchanted by my words, but they were not just pure greed, I wanted to prioritize my own life and my Empire if possible, only when there are great rewards, which will end up helping me, in the long run, is when I will do these 'favors'.

"Anyways, talking about other things, it seems that your evolution was somehow influenced by my words, as the name of your new race is after a goddess of the myths from my original world…" I said to Nixephine.

"Yeah! I wondered the same… it seems that Serqet was one of the goddesses from… err, the Egyptians were they called?" asked Nixephine.

"Yes… I presume that Nefertiti might have acquired something similar, as both of you were rather influenced by those myths I talked about the other day" I said.

"Indeed, they were rather interesting!" said Nixephine.

"I have checked my memories, but I don't remember a goddess named Serqet in any Realm… so it is really a mythical being from another world… just how… incredible! Kireina-sama can not only do so many incredible things already, but she can also influence the evolution of those around her based on the myths of her original world?! Amazing!" said Agatheina.

"Well, just as we talked about her, she had woken up," said Nixephine, pointing at the sleepy dog girl… Nefertiti.

"Yawn… Good morning everyone- what?" asked Nefertiti, quickly realizing our stares.

She had just moved the bedsheets as she revealed her semi-nude body, which was only covered in a thin white dress, which she usually uses to sleep.

Her appearance did not change much, but her black fur had become darker than before… before this evolution, her black fur had some tones of dark green, but after this evolution, her fur became thinner, slimmer, and softer, while being as black as the night.

Nefertiti's glossy chocolate skin remained with her, but she had acquired various tattoos across her beautiful skin, depicting Egyptian hieroglyphics, similar to those of Nixephine.

She also acquired a strange gold piece in the form of an eye in the middle of her forehead, which was adhered into her being, similar to how some races have orbs that enhance their powers incrusted into their flesh.

Her fur covered her legs from her knees down below, while her arms started from her elbows. Her claws and paws became thinner and more refined as well, and she could extend them.

Although her face was just similar to before, it seemed as if she had become prettier. The power that she exuded was similar to Nixephine, but it was just pure light.

"I evolved… is it right? I never thought I would actually evolve due to my status as a Spirit. But it seems that the influence of Kireina has given me this ability" said Nefertiti, it seems that evolving was rare in pure Spirits, those that descended directly from True Spirits and were not Artificial Spirits created by the system by reincarnating a soul and then summoned like Brontes or Nereid.

"You have evolved on the same day as me? This must be some kind of mistake…" muttered Nixephine.

"What?! You should feel honored to have evolved the same day as me! And you just gained two claws and a new stinger, what's so special about your evolution?!" asked Nefertiti.

"What?! And what about you? Aside from your fur becoming thinner, did you actually changed in anything else at all?!" asked Nixephine.

"Grrrr! Grawr!" barked Nefertiti in anger.

"Girls, I think it's quite early to begin discussing… And congrats for your evolution, Nefertiti, you look even prettier than yesterday," I said.

Nefertiti immediately changed her demeanor as she flushed.

"Ah~ Master, is that true? Fufufu, I'm glad to have evolved then~!" she said.

"By the way, Nefertiti… Did you had any strange dream last night?" asked Nephiana.

"Strange dream…? Like what exactly? Ah! I did have one, but is it related to anything right now?" asked Nefertiti.

"It could be… could you describe it?" I asked.

"Well, if you ask… it was about… It was about a giant dog," said Nefertiti.

"A giant dog?!" asked Nephiana.

"Yeah, it was… mildly annoying. It was always laughing for some reason and it invited me to hunt prey with it, we did, and then I woke up… I think I caught a prey… but it felt strange, I have never been a dog! I am a spirit! Why did I dream about such a weird thing?!" asked Nefertiti.

"Kireina-sama… could it be?" asked Agatheina.

"Maybe that dog was a god, Nefertiti… let's see your status," I said.

Nefertiti stats had taken a big jump since I first met her, showing that she had leveled up a lot since then.

Because she was a Spirit, she did not use HP, MP nor Stamina, and instead had the Spirit stat, which encompasses all these three stats into one. Spirit Stat is naturally very high and possesses an amazing self-regeneration, as it can absorb the energy of the environment to recover, faster than any mage with their MP Pool.

Since I met Nefertiti that she had been always an outstanding magician, and after joining my Empire, she seemed to have just improved upon her magic powers to new heights, having unlocked Fire Attribute Magic a few months ago, which she ended up awakening into the 'Ra's Burning Sun Magic', which seemed to have been affected by the myths about Ra, the God of the Sun of the Egyptian Mythology.

She even gained two Classes with Ra in them… perhaps she had become a devotee of this mythological god and may even unlock more Classes with its name…

She also became an Anubis, which is another god of Egyptian Myth, and she gained Dark & Shadow Attribute Magic due to this… and most likely due to her new blessing.

The [Blessing of Xolotl, the Sacred Dog God of Dark and Light] Skill was what I was looking forward into her status… and there it was. Another of these Aztec-like gods, most likely.

"I really do have a blessing! Xolotl…? Was that the dog of my dream? That annoying dog… He blessed me…" muttered Nefertiti.

"Haha, a dog blessed you! Fitting! You're a dog, after all, you cannot escape from your destiny as one!" said Nixephine.

"I am not a dog! It is just… my form that looks like a Dog Beast-person! I am not actually a dog! Graaawrr! Bark! Bark!" barked Nefertiti, saying that she wasn't a dog but barking at the end… She was cute, I cannot lie.

"Stop being in denial, you're literally barking right now, Nefertiti!" laughed Nixephine.

"Graawr! I am not barking! Bark!" barked Nefertiti once again.

"A-Anyways, Xolotl, was it? Yes… it is indeed yet another god of Aztlan… How wondrous… what could these gods want? Three in a row is already too suspicious…" muttered Agatheina.

"So they really want a favor?" asked Nephiana.

"But Masta is busy right now! We gotta eat a god right now, so maybe later, guu!" said Rimuru.

"And even after that, we might go and explore other dungeons, so we shouldn't bother with them now," said Nesiphae.

"Yeah, if those gods are so serious about it, they would have to contact our wife more directly," said Adelle.

"Ah, I'm hungry… what's up- Eh?! You four evolved?!" said Oga, just recently waking up.

"Oh, Oga… do you like our new strength, it seems that we have surpassed you once more, fufu" laughed Nixephine.

"Whaaat?! I have to evolve too! I can't be left like this! I gained a ton of levels yesterday, but it seems not enough, I guess… Let us go kill the Boss of Floor 90!" said Oga.

"Well, yes, that's the plan, after moving all the people of this city to my Empire while also making sure to pass through the other cities of High Lizardmen led by Elder Dragons," I said.

"Are all of them around here?" asked Nesiphae.

"Yeah, all of them are before Floor 90… Begudhur seems to be hiding below floor 91, in the depths of these floors… oh right, I almost forgot telling Agatheina and the rest…" I said.

"A god?! Kireina-sama… did you find a god in here? In Nyzzet's Dungeon!?" asked Agatheina, bewildered.
