While my children took care of the group of Giant Lobsters that kept spawning as well with the help of some of my wives like Nanako, Adelle, Kaguya, Gaby, and Altani. The rest of my wives divided into two groups as I commanded them to take over the group of Colossal Golden Lobsters coming from the rooms. I accepted the dungeon challenge and decided to kill on some of these Mini-Bosses for EXP and their meat, as they looked rather delicious.

While wearing my [Fallen Winged Demon Armor] enhanced with Fire and Wind Attributes, I decided to get a more savage side of fighting and combined the armor alongside [Tyrannical Wyvern of Fire and Lava Armor]. The sudden burst of energy quickly rushed through my entire body as the new set of armor fused together with the previous one, paired up with the power of my Orbs and the Fire and Wind Attributes added beforehand, the resulting armor had a tyrannical and demonic presence that could make any weakling tremble and then faint in fear, possibly dying of horror.

The new armor combined the six arms of each one, reinforcing them and creating a slim yet strong and sturdy arm that had five sharp fingers with incredibly hard claws, the wings became four now and had a more draconic feeling, while I grew three wyvern-like tails with sharp blades on their ends.

My chest and my belly transformed into the head of a wyvern, which was opening towards a massive red core, the red core could conjure a powerful barrier around my body, while the six eyes of the wyvern on my chest was furiously releasing blazing flames. On each of my shoulders, there were wyvern heads with big goat-like demonic horns. My head was completely covered by a helmet that was the perfect combination between a demon and a wyvern, with six goat-like horns piercing the heavens, each one releasing a powerful flame.

My aura quickly turned into a blazing domain that could turn everything inside into a crisp, I retained my Aura inside of my body to not damage my family as the strong power was contained in the massive scarlet core on my chest, my capabilities suddenly skyrocketed. Without wanting to wait anymore I flew at an incredible speed without having to use any skill as I ravaged the closest Colossal Golden Lobster on my vicinity.

CLASH!

My powerful draconic claws crashed over the Golden Lobster as the beast yelled in fear. As my hunger and voraciousness was fueled by its suffering, I kept on clashing my claws over the struggling beast, although it tried to shoot Air Bullets, they were easily absorbed by my armor, fueled by constant power I infused my aura on my hands and released it all over the monster, it quickly began to cook alive as the delicious smell of its white and tender flesh filled my nostrils. Over my sudden hunger, the massive wyvern head on my chest awakened as it extended over the monster head and began to devour it voraciously. I could feel the flavors and tastes as if I were eating it myself.

Three seconds passed and three chomps were enough to eat the Golden Lobster head off, the massive grilled and headless body fell over the ground, releasing a thunderous quake, motionless. I saw as three more Golden Lobsters slipped off my wives' groups and went directly towards my children. Like a furious demon I jumped off the Lobster I just ate and with my own Blazing Aura and claws I ravaged the first Lobster I found on my sight, my claws fell with immense strength, as if the Lobster was being hit by several mountains its head quickly disfigured and flattened, its brain busted off and I used the flames of my Aura to completely grill this one again, my Wyvern head jumped off my chest and devoured the head and even a part of the main body in four seconds.

Trying to keep going on such a good phase I jumped over the next Lobster as I ravaged its eyes with my hands, popped them out and with another of my claws I infused my Aura on, filling the insides of the Golden Lobster, in five seconds it inflated and busted off like a bomb. My Wyvern head once again feeds off the Lobster and in less than five seconds it had eaten it entirely. It really felt as if my armor was alive now, the Five Sacred Beast wasn't just a name, they somehow were born when I fused all of those Skills.

My eyes were infused with fire as my helmet shapeshifted into a tyrannical wyvern head, my body quickly grew in size and I was now over five meters tall. I jumped off towards the next two Golden Lobsters and busted them off with a barrage of blazing punches made with my own aura. One was still barely alive while being half-roasted, I simply manipulated my aura as it formed a massive blazing hand from the deeps of hell, the hand not only crushed but afterward shapeshifted into a wyvern head and gulped on the entire Lobster without a second of thinking.

"Delicious!" I thought as I was embraced in the carnage and the delicious monsters ahead of me, the sudden desire to devour everything filled my mind and like a crazed monster, I began to ravage the Golden Lobster that spawned almost endlessly.

For a moment I felt the spirit of the two Sacred Beast, the Fallen Winged Demon and the Tyrannical Wyvern of Fire and Lava were fusing with each other while trying to take over my mind. However, due to my mental-guarding skills, I was able to hold on to their powerful intents and overpowered them with the help of my Split Minds and Soul.

Still, I used their powerful intent to my advantage, increasing the power of my Armor and Aura. Suddenly, as I blasted the head off of another Golden Lobster, a powerful insight appeared in my mind, a small idea that occurred because of my constant carnage, it was an insight over my true Combat System, it was related to the armors I had and the Spirits inside of them, however, it was still too shallow, and I couldn't decipher much of it. Moving this idea aside, I kept on the furious slaughter while my family admired my strength. Funnily enough, no one was scared of my showcase of strength and were instead proud and amazed.

The fight continued for some more minutes and each time my armor and Aura devoured more monsters, it grew and grew in size, until I was now an imposing and tyrannical metallic wyvern of over ten meters tall, my four wings extended over the heavens and my horns could pierce almost anything. A sudden surge of strength and ecstasy filled my mind, the power was too much and it was filling me with the desire to destroy and devour.

The spawn points were yet to be destroyed but I could feel that their strength was failing and would most likely break in the following minutes, to that I decided to make my last slaughter to fill on my desires.

Four Golden Lobster confronted my new appearance as if they had disregarded at all their personal safety, trying to blast me on pieces using their powerful Air Bullets which at the end only fueled my strength.

Instead of just ravaging them I decided to use the abilities of this new transformation as I filled my head and helmet with my blazing aura, the massive metallic wyvern head opened and released a powerful breath of fire and destruction, the Golden Lobsters were calcinated as even their Golden Exoskeleton turned into shiny dust. The power was too great and the pressure of the flames ended up breaking the spawning devices.

Noticing that my power was too much and I was pressuring the dungeon, I quickly called back my Armor as it disappeared in a "poof", only leaving my body with my normal equipment set. However, my Aura still remained with the qualities of Fire and Wind for a while, and I let it devour nearby Giant Lobsters that were still alive.

I saw as Brontes and Nesiphae teamed up to kill a small group of five Golden Lobster, they didn't have any hardships and just seemed to be enjoying their prey struggle. Brontes saw that one of them was in the verge of death and infused her right leg with powerful electric energy, in a flash, a strong kick crushed the Golden Lobster head, flattening it into its body, the monster died instantly and its body fell to the ground.

Nesiphae on the other hand decided to use her own punches as she threw several blows over the Golden Lobsters mercilessly. Her aura was suddenly turning from purple to deep red as new and strange energy covered her body, increasing the power of her muscles to herculean levels, all of her muscles were incredibly beautiful, especially her belly. This must be the power of the [Blessing of the Goddess of War Umlena] that she received after evolving some weeks ago. This aura was named "War Energy" and it increased as she beat more enemies, that's why it was very strong in a war filled with enemies everywhere.

I glanced over my children group and I saw that they were doing just fine, the support of my wives was enough for them to have a nice challenge with the Golden Lobster but nothing life-threatening. I noticed that Ailine was holding back so she wouldn't turn all of the Lobster into ashes, leaving no food. Oh well, I was doing the same before, now I was being more cautious and just grilling them. Although my Aura was devouring some.

Half an hour passed and the work was finally done, I calmed down my Aura, which seemed to be alive by itself, and retained it inside of my Orbs. Then I flew down bellow and helped out in the recollection of the scattered corpses. The fight was quite intense and some of my children and wives were rather tired, without even talking about the Fire Onis and Oga, they were on the floor gasping for air, they were too tired. Even if they didn't fight any Golden Lobster, just the groups of Giant Lobsters were enough to put them in a lot of work and trouble, they said that they would be dead by now if it wasn't for the Azure Gemstone Tattoos that I gave to them.

I decided to have an official lunch with the countless of Giant Rainbow Lobster and Colossal Golden Lobsters. I had already tasted their flawless and delicious meat with my armor and aura, but eating them with my own mouth was still more enjoyable.

My wives also prepared a lot of other side dishes and it was an overall very enjoyable break, although I wasn't tired at all, my armors instead of drawing energy gave me energy. Nonetheless, my mind was rather tired so a break to relax wasn't anything bad. I ended up drinking plenty of cold sweet beer, which went incredibly well with the Golden Lobster and some butter.

I had killed a lot of monsters and the EXP waiting for me was more than welcomed although I didn't gain a level, I was over halfway through. I wondered how long it would take me to reach the max level as the EXP necessary increases and increases exponentially with each level. Will I really be able to reach [Divinity]? I don't really think that I will become a Goddess right off the bat, but maybe a starting point to reach such a goal…

After feasting some more with my family, I saved on the leftover corpses and cleaned the floor of chests and treasures with my Slime Clones, afterward we kept on descending through the stairs towards the 55th floor. Just three more floors for the fifth boss!
