918 [Ascendance Of The Goddess of Sins and Virtues] 39/?: Relaxing For a Bit...

.

The moment I upgraded my Path Jewels, I felt my body naturally harboring Void-Essence, and now, something even crazier was going on, something that surprised even someone like me, who rarely gets surprised! (Not really.)

The Dream Universe that I had created long ago, which was like my first Dream World that I created through a dream where I saw the world be born began to be… sucked into my body.

I know we are literally inside of my soul through the Divine Realm, but at the same time my soul is here inside of my physical body, the Divine Realm is part of my soul and at the same time, it is a different space after all.

So I know I am capable of eating Dream Worlds with this and enhance my cultivation through it, but I never expected that my body and soul would be so fixated on eating this Dream World so much… Wait, I guess it makes sense, it is the biggest thing in here.

But what will happen if I devour it?! Isn't there Bilili there and Vulcan? What if they die? Or all the people there?

I quickly stop devouring the Dream World manually, as my body and soul obey my will and stop.

Phew, everything seems fine, that was a close call if I would say so myself….

Well now, as I go back to my family through a True Body Clone, I created two specialized True Body Clones for the task of assimilating Void Essence and devouring created Dream Worlds (which I will constantly create through the use of Divine Energy, which will then return as I devour them).

These two new True Body Clones were made for this task, as they don't steal too many stats from me with their existence, so I can keep them doing their job while I do something else with my main body.

I open a ripple in the spatial layers that make up my Divine Realm, within the divine realm and the real world certain spatial layers meld both together, there are "middle" places in between them that are filled with pure emptiness, but in the emptiness, there is a lot of Void Attribute Essence, Void Essence.

Quite literally, Void-Essence is something like a very diluted residual essence made up from Void Attribute Particles, but through my special Ability, I can absorb it constantly and transmute it into important and better powers or energies, such as Divine Energy or Primordial Essence.

And to an extent, if enough is accumulated I can even increase my Void Attribute Particles…

So I float to this completely empty place with this special true body clone, and I sit cross-legged like a good cultivator, while floating in midair, as I begin to absorb the energies of the environment, which is pure emptiness… Void Essence.

This near-transparent black fog mass, Void Essence, begins to be infused into my body, as it connects to my soul and is simply fused with it, over accumulating like a fog of pure residual void attribute particle essence.

This is quite soothing.

I use this energy and transfer it around my soul and body, as it suddenly ends up entering my Divine Realm and flows everywhere, slowly turning into divine energy and nourishing the whole land.

I guess this is, quite literally, cultivation. In this world you nourish your divine realm to rise into the ranks, the more divine energy you got, the easier it is to nourish it and bring forth more rich materials.

Maybe with this method, I can get more natural Void Attribute Divine Materials growing around.

Anyways, as I did this with this body, with another body, I moved to a faraway place of my Divine Realm, a mostly empty grassland.

In there, my clone began to generate Dream Worlds through the Path Jewel Abilities, spending around 200k Divine Energy per Dream World, they're not cheap, and these are the smaller ones.

And just as the ability said, I open my mouth and begin to slurp the entire bubble as if it were a noodle, or as a cotton candy… well, the texture is more like jelly, and it is… quite sweet too?

I never thought dream worlds would be this tasty!

After a few minutes, it is completely eaten, and I feel like I just drank a nice juicy or a smoothie.

And then as I was digesting it completely, I began to feel the energy of the Dream World fusing with me and transforming into what I will call Dream Essence.

This Dream Essence began to flow through my Divine Realm, fusing with it and also nourishing it completely.

Some areas within the Divine Realm began to glow with pink colors, mysteriously and dreamy clouds began to appear around, and then, small divine beasts of the dream attribute appeared…

Oh... And these are corporeal?! No way…

This is nice, it means I can get these things materialized as well easily through eating dreamworlds!

And it seems that the Dream Universe as I call it is nourishing itself too.

Well, maybe one day it will be able to become real too and it will become like a giant universe inside my soul…

But for now, I leave these two clones doing their thing, as I fly back to my family and stay with them.

"Phew, I am back… That was quite the exercise there…" I sighed, reaching the castle's window, as

"Oh my, you're back, Kireina-sama. I can sense that you've grown stronger!" said Agatheina, as she greeted me with an adorable smile.

"Indeed, it was quite arduous…" I sighed.

"Maybe you should rest for a little bit, it doesn't hurt to take a little break. The time dilation of the Divine Realm should let you do so," said Agatheina.

"You're right…"

"Masta! Come here to snuggle!" said Rimuru, she and the other girls were sitting over cushions while playing games, well, some were, Rimuru was simply expecting it while eating popcorn with Ailine.

"Mama, here," said Ailine, petting the cushion for me to sit down.

Pat, pat, pat.

"Fufu, if you insist!" I said, rushing there and sitting between two adorable slime girls, as Rimuru hugged me with her slimy tentacles and Ailine sat down over my thighs.

Hmmm~ Such a warm little slime baby, I think I am feeling way better now…

"Uwah, Ailine-chan, it is nice to hug you…" I said, hugging my little daughter as she chuckled.

"Hehe, mama, you're extra lovely today!" she said, resting over my chest.

"Let me do you some massage, Kireina-sama. I am quite dexterous with these hands of mine," said Agatheina, sitting behind me as she began to massage my shoulders and back.

I wasn't actually tired physically, I don't think I actually can be, but somehow, she was managing to actually take away any tensions…

Oh, maybe evolving still makes up some tension? Anyways, it was rather godly.

"AH~ Agatheina, you're a talented goddess…" I sighed in relief.

"Hehe, I am glad you're feeling relaxed," said Agatheina.

"Masta, want popcorn?" asked Rimuru, as she offered me popcorn and carried it to my mouth.

I relaxed while hugging my Ailine, being feed popcorn by Rimuru, and being massaged by Agatheina.

Damn… I am very grateful for such a wonderful family.

Most of my children are not present because they're all around the Divine Realm doing their own little adventures. Sometimes they like to go with their parties and explore the world of my Divine Realm, it is perhaps as big as the Realm of Vida if not bigger after eating all those Gods… so they're having a lot of fun.

And other groups are exploring Babel, which is a gigantic World Dungeon with even more mini landscapes inside… so there is endless fun here.

In fact, not all my wives are here either, they have their own lives too, sometimes they go out with our children, or they go in groups to the cities, go to a restaurant, and stuff. Not all the time I am with them, as they also like their "alone time"… Well, it is not like I miss them either, they're often gone for just a few hours, and come back pretty quickly through the teleportation crystals whenever they're done, often bringing us gifts…

Charlotte has recently begun to collect figures of the several anime airing now, and she always brings me limited-time figures that are only made in small quantities.

And I tell her that I can just create them out of thin air if she asks me to duplicate them, but she always says that it loses its value if I do that… Well, okay then.

And she brings them to me as gifts, but it is obviously for her own collection, which she keeps on a large shelf in our shared room…

I don't know what to think when I am having sex with her while seeing the figure of my own character in the anime… it does feel quite odd.

Especially because it is super detailed! To the point where you can even see the smoothness of the skin… and there is one figure of my model completely nude!

I yet that this might be used as a monolith or something for prayers but… I don't know!

Okay, okay, let's calm down, after all, I have kind of sold my own image as a seductive and lascivious woman, so I suppose most of my citizens do have the hots for me and probably want to get some of this… so lets them have the figures.

But Charlotte has everything she can from me and still collects the figures…

Anyways, let's just change the topic, I don't want to talk bad about her, I love her however she is. And to be honest, she's pretty cool.

Because right about now she's beating Oga's ass in the fighting game based on my anime… It is named Dark Moon Knights VS, and it has most of the OG cast of the anime first season (second season in production!).

Well, and who else would she main than me… However, I requested to make the game balanced so my own character is not broken, you can even beat my own character with a Redgaria, even if that makes no sense at all!

It is like those Dragon Ball Games where you can beat Goku SSJ with Mister Satan.

"Hah! Right there!" said Charlotte, gritting her sharp teeth as her crimson eyes gleamed.

My character suddenly gave an uppercut to the Brontes character that Oga was using, defeating it as its Health Bar reached zero!

"KO!" celebrated Nephiana, raising her fluffy wings as they released feathers everywhere.

"Agh! Noooo! Again?!" cried Oga, hitting the ground with her strength, making the entire castle shake as the castle itself groaned.

"Oga, don't be a sore loser! Now, it's my turn!" said Adelle, as she sat down where Oga was, while Oga walked away.

"Damn it!" said Oga.

She seemed a bit frustrated…

"Oga, come here," I said, as she glanced at me and walked while pouting cutely. She might be a big muscular girl, but she often acts rather childish.

"What?" she asked.

"Come on, sit at my side, don't get like that, it's just a game," I said.

"Muh… I know!" said Oga, sitting at my right side, Rimuru was at my left.

"Hehe, you are a sore loser, aren't you?" asked Rimuru teasingly.

"S-Sore loser? W-What are you talking about! I am… not… Well, maybe…" said Oga.

"Auntie Oga don't get like that! Auntie Charlotte is just way too good!" said Ailine.

"That's right, dear, how about I take out some of the tension in your shoulders?" I asked, as I began to massage Oga's large and beautiful shoulders, while Agatheina was doing the same for me.

"Eh? Y-You're massaging me?" asked Oga.

"Of course~ Why not? I am devoted to my wife," I said with a gentle smile.

"Oof… I mean… Ooh… Well, it does… Ooohhh… It feels nice…" moaned Oga, she suddenly relaxed and all the childish frustration on her disappeared.

"See? Nothing that a little massage can't resolve?" I said.

"Fufu, Kireina-sama we are doing a massage train!" laughed Agatheina.

"Oga, do me a massage!" said Rimuru.

"But Rimuru you're all slime…" said Oga, as we began to chuckle a bit.
