686 Distributing Some Equipment and Eating the Rest!
.

As I was greeted by the pile of many pieces of equipment, I glanced at everyone individually and decided to gift someone within the benevolence of my heart.
Yeah, so what?
I love my family and I will gift them things that could potentially make me stronger instead, I am not going to get frustrated by this.
I have been doing it for a while, and my family knows that I like to gift things to those I love.
So, I distributed a few equipment pieces, as even I believed that it was way too much for me, and I might take too much time eating everything.
The [Phantasmagoric Whips of the Deadly Poisonous Chimera Snake (Legendary)] and [Zapping Whip of the Thunderstorm Eel Dragon Emperor (Legendary)] weapons, which were both whips, were saved for Nirah, who is improving greatly in her Whip Technique Skill, and will soon enough begin to use more whips, her goal is one in each of her arms, which are six.
Of course, Nirah was not aware that I was preparing her many whips for one day, so she will get a big surprise whenever the day to give her they all finally come.
Afterward, I decided to gift the [Abhorred Flesh Spear of the Aberrant Flesh Chimera Monstrosity (Legendary)] to my beloved Vampire wife, Alice, who was sporting a sexy and provocative swimsuit today, which got me glancing at her body for most of the time.
"Thanks, Kireina-sama! I love it already! It looks similar to my other spear, Kriemhild! Now I can dual wield fleshy spears to unleash my bloody attacks and slice anyone that opposes us~! Fufufufu~!" laughed Alice as she fantasized about slicing apart many enemies, ah, she is so cute when she laughs.
In the end, she ended up sitting in my lap as I distributed the rest of the equipment while playing around with her new spear, which she got used to very quickly. Her other spear, named Kriemhild, is also kind of fleshy like this one, and after she trained a lot, and evolved, her spear evolved with her, becoming a Phantasmal-Rank weapon… I hope for the same fate for this other spear that I've gifted to her.
"Fuu, sitting in Kireina-sama's lap fills me with happiness... W-What is this motherly aura that you exude? It makes me want to cuddle within your shoulders and take a nap~" said Alice as she rested her head on my shoulders like the sweet girl she is.
Next on the list, I gifted the [Scarlet Crystal Jewels of the One Hundred Eyed Vicious Squid Empress (Legendary)] to Nanako, another of my wives and a former enemy of mine. Even after being part of my own Epic now, she is still a Heroine, and most likely a future Legendary Heroine at that, similarly to Nephiana, so I decided to give her something that could boost her power a bit more.
The interesting thing about these jewels is that they boost certain types of magicians' magic power a lot, and many can be equipped without any restrictions, so Nanako already possessing one does not mean that she can't stack their effects.
These jewels can float on their own, and rotate around her whenever she unleashes her magic power, until then, they would remain within her body as if they were stuck to it, although they can be removed whenever she desired.
She glanced at me with a happy and excited expression, as her many eyes seemed even a bit teary… isn't she being a bit too dramatic?
"Thank you so much, Kireina-sama…!" said Nanako.
"Ah, it is nothing, really. Didn't you got anything useful in the items you got?" I asked her.
"Ah… Well… I only got dresses and this crown… It has been quite frustrating, so finally acquiring something that can boost my magical power makes me happy…" said Nanako, as she moved near me and gave me her sweet lips. I gave her a lovely kiss as I petted her pink hair.
"It makes me glad that you've adapted well to everything and even have become one with my family," I said.
"Ah, don't even mention it! It often frustrates me to think that I once held hate against you. The circumstances were different in that time… And although many of my companions died, they had been revived through your children, being given a second chance despite the sins that most of them committed… I can see that you are way more than a simple villainous being, Kireina-sama. Your intentions were clearly beyond my scope…" said Nanako with an enamored expression.
"Oh, I am glad that you've understood that I've changed a lot since then as well… I have become more mindful. And although I do not regret such actions, I am willing to take things into better consideration… If possible," I said.
Ah… Well, I did not plan on reincarnating them, to be honest… Or at least not into my children, but I guess I discovered that a few days after they were all born.
Thankfully, it is as if they were new people anyways, most of their memories were cleansed, so it is truly as if they had a second chance to even become new people. And there is nothing wrong with that within my mind, though, I do not want more of these things to happen, if possible…
"Ah, of course, an Empress would never regret her actions. I am glad that things had turned better than one could have expected… And our child, it is slowly growing within my womb, I await the day of its birth fervently~" said Nanako, as she kissed me one last time before joining the barbeque again.
Ah, she looks quite pretty with the swimsuit I made, which has floral and pink colors around, going well with her petite body, her belly is slightly beginning to bulge as well.
Anyways, next on the list was Vudia, my precious little cyclops girl, which flew towards me the moment I called her with a happy and cheerful smile, the one she always uses to lighten the mood of pretty much anything… Damn, she is so precious.
"My beloved little princess, here, I know you could like this one…" I said, taking a beautiful white robe out of the pile of equipment, as it moved, the robe released iridescent scales.
"A robe?" asked Vudia.
"Put it on, I am sure that you will like it," I said.
"Hmm… Okay…" said Vudia. She clearly did not like the large, dress-like robe, but as she put it on, the robe suddenly changed into a yellow gold color and resembled her original dress.
Of course, she was wearing a swimsuit now, so she did not have that dress on.
Her chocolate-skinned body was completely covered by the shiny dress, as her beautiful eye seemed excited about her new look.
"Oh! I look like a princess now!" said Vudia.
"Of course you would, you're my precious little princess~," I said, petting her and kissing her forehead and cheeks.
This robe was the [Iridescent Magical Robes of the Crescent Moth Matriarch (Legendary)], a special robe that could change its shape depending on what the wearer thought. Of course, it was limited to mostly dresses but was enough for Vudia to get an 'upgraded' version of it.
"Thanks, mommy! I love it!" said Vudia, as she flew away back to join with her mother and siblings.
"Little Vudia-chan looked adorable, Kireina-sama…" said Alice.
After the gifts, I scanned the rest of the items as I thought that it was fine to save the ones that might come useful to be gifted in the future, which were the [Dark Scarf of the Shadow Mane Draconic Lion Emperor (Legendary)], [Evil Scepter of the Wailing Banshee Empress (Legendary)], [Strengthened Bone Club of the Ghoulish Lizard King (Legendary)], [Sinful Shadow Chains of Sealing of the Abyssal Giant of Darkness (Phantasmal)], [Necromancer's Grimoire of Death Conjuring Magic (Phantasmal)], and the [Death Staff of the Undying King of the Fallen Kingdom (Phantasmal)]. These weapons seemed fairly useful or would become useful in the future, and I preferred them to be physical than to become a Skill…
Anyways, after having taken out all of those items, what was left to consume was still a very ridiculous amount:
[Abyssal Piranha's Fanged Knives of Death (Legendary)] x1
[Necrotic Toad Emperor's Staff of Toxicity (Legendary)] x1
[Crimson Red Blood Sucking Blade of the Monstrous Leech (Legendary)] x1
[Poisonous Spiked Shield of the Venomous Puffer Fish Emperor (Legendary)] x1
[Fortress Shield of the Infernal Volcanic Turtle Emperor (Legendary)] x1
[Monstrous Living Robe of the Great Multi-form Aberration Empress (Legendary)] x1
[Blood-seeking Axe of the Furious Blood Beast Empress (Legendary)] x1
[Mysterious Crystal Ball of the Spatial Aberrant Worm Emperor (Legendary)] x1
[Segmented Bone Blades of the Spectral Skeleton Octopus Empress (Legendary)] x1
[Malicious Mind-Controlling Crown of the Parasitic Undead Slime Emperor (Legendary)] x1
[Freezing Metallic Wings of the Vampiric Undead Winter Bat Empress (Legendary)] x1
[Crimson Blood-sucking Rapier of the Royal Vampiric Mosquito Empress (Legendary)] x1
[Decaying Necrotic Staff of the Disease Carrying Aberrant Fly Emperor (Legendary)] x1
"Ah, Kireina-sama, will you eat all of it? But what about coming with the rest for the barbeque?" asked Alice.
"I will also join while I eat this… Like this," I said, dividing my body in two, and leaving one slowly eating every piece of equipment.
"Oh, amazing~! Let's go join the rest, then!" said Alice, grabbing my hand as she guided me with the rest of our family.
The day went on as we enjoyed the party, there were many new fish and other types of sea monsters brought to the grill, I did not even move at all, but the whole family brought a lot of things. I was rather relaxed, as I have gathered with all of my True Body Clones and the only clone left was the one eating things.
Due to that, I was able to focus most of my mind into this day, and I managed to genuinely enjoy it and relax.
Now that my Stats have increased so much, even when they are divided by creating True Body Clones, they still remain quite high. As I have mentioned before, True Body Clones are different than Slime Clones or any other type of Clone.
They share the same soul like me, it is as if I literally divided my body, but each body was just the extension of me. I was each one of them. This is why it ended reducing the stats of each clone, dividing my stats all across the clones evenly by the number of how many I got at the moment.
This is why even when I have gathered a lot of stats, it still does not seem 'enough' for me, as when I divide myself, the stats will lower, so I need to amass more and more stats to compensate.
And because in every important battle, such as the latest one against Zudig, Begudhur, and Kheseerad, I had divided my body at least in two due to one residing in my Empire with my child, most of the time, my stats will be divided in two at the very best in a battle…
So the big numbers I see, are a bit reduced… Although they are still pretty ridiculous!
When did I begin to get so high stats?
Hm, I believe it was when I ate Megusan… then everything began to steamroll with Class Changes being another big factor.
And well, eating Legendary-Rank and above equipment too, they give some nice stat boosts.
The night was already falling into the sky, as we kept enjoying the food and the refreshing sea even before the moonlight.
I was tasting a lot of new types of liquor brought by the new tribes and races that joined in my Empire, there was also liquor made by the Nature Wyvernoid, which was very good, and made with special herbs, which gave it a very fragrant smell and flavor, with a spicy and sweet kick at the end of each sip.
And alongside the delicious flavor of the food, the liquor, and the atmosphere of being with my family and friends, I received a large boost in power as my clone finally finished eating everything and merged with me immediately after.
Aah… Another exhilarating feeling…
Eating Legendary-Rank and above equipment is remarkably similar to eating Divinity Fragments, to an extent…
