The Boss's colossal claws had to be cut into pieces so we could boil them properly, each claw was over ten meters wide and contained immense amounts of meat inside. After some thought I decided to consume a ton of minerals that we had accumulated through looting in the dungeon, after devouring around a ton, I molded the minerals inside of my body.

I made some space for myself and the shapeshifted into a giant Red Slime, extending a piece of my body, a loud sound filled the room as a massive pot fell to the ground.

"Aaah! Master is making new pots!" (Nesiphae)

"Mama! Make more! We need a lot!" (Amiphossia)

"Sigh… I got such a huge family now, alright" I said.

Expanding my body, even more, I started producing a second pot, each pot had several colors mixed together as they were made with various minerals, nonetheless, they were incredibly sturdy and big, each one being over fifteen meters tall and ten meters wide, ideal to boil and cook such massive pieces of meat.

Clank! Clank!

Two more gigantic pots fell to the ground as I was already out of minerals inside of me, going back to my original size.

"Three should be enough"

Ailine and Vudia, who had never seen me do such an "amazing" thing, were amazed. Their eyes shined brightly in impression as their faces were blushing.

"Ooaah! Mama is so cool! Vudia will make a pot with her gold as well!"

"Mommy, how can you do that? Can Ailine learn how to do that?"

Ailine wanted me to teach her how to do this, but I really didn't know how to "teach" her, I actually just used my already existing skill [Greater Equipment Materialization] to make the pots. However, I couldn't just tell her that, so she immediately started to eat minerals and expanded her body, while trying to imitate me.

Then I remembered that Ailine had a similar ability to [Greater Equipment Materialization] that she uses to create her Magus Equipment Set and her Staff. I told her to try to channel such power and after some minutes, she managed to create a five meters tall pot, it wasn't perfect but it was very impressive of her to be able to create something like this so easily.

Vudia followed her as she manipulated her Gold and made a perfect imitation to my pots but of golden color. Such a massive amount of gold would be considered a treasure in Earth, however, Vudia can generate gold so easily that it loses its monetary value.

Two more pots came right away, as my wives started immediately to add water and the ingredients. They also made some fires using wood that we brought from the surface and small fire that mostly anyone can cast. Seven pots were boiling with ingredients and spices inside as the delicious smell of the soup filled the room.

The multi-colored claws of the massive Boss quickly turned dark red. As the tender white meat inside began to boil and increase in size. There were lots of side dishes as well being made, like boiled grains, vegetables, mushrooms, and other types of meat.

There was always a soothing harmony when it was time to eat, as some of my wives cooked, others rested or worked in their persona projects, even sparring with each other or teaching their children.

Some of my children like to help out in the kitchen, and Vudia and Ailine forced me to help them. Rimuru had recently taught them how to make cupcakes and they wanted my assistance while making the dough. It was a rather simple recipe, some flour was needed, which was made by pondering the grains of the forest into dust, there was also honey, butter from rabbit milk, and water.

The candies were made mostly of honey as well, but the dyes were taken from different fruits from the forest. Rimuru had already prepared some candies and cream so we just needed to bake the cupcakes and decorate. It was quite fun and relaxing at the same time, to think that I went from voraciously fighting and eating alive a Chimera monster to cooking cupcakes with my beloved daughters… Life is really… varied.

Some hours later the dinner was ready and the cupcakes as well. I had also prepared some other desserts using the Walking Cactuses, their green and juicy fruit-like flesh was delicious and filled with sugar. It would be ideal if we could extract this sugar from them and make authentic sugar! Not even Athetosea had the white sugar that I know, and only had more refined types of honey.

I wasn't in the mood to drink liquor, as I wanted to relax and drink different types of aromatic teas brought from the Azuma Empire that I obtained after looting Athetosea. There were so many types that I was a little bit overwhelmed with what to choose and ended up making five different types that I shared around with those who wanted. The Fire Onis loved alcohol so they only drank beer and wine. My children liked tea a lot and loved it with some milk as well, Vudia had a big sweet tooth and added too much honey, leaving her tea with a very thick texture…

Amiphossia, Valentia, Nesiphae, and Nixephine voraciously ate the big slices of the Chimera's fish body, while snacking in the massive chunks of tender white meat from its claws. The Giants obviously loved big pieces of meat and enjoyed indulging themselves in a feast where they could eat as much as they wanted. Having very big bodies brings a lot of appetite and energy consumption. I can comprehend them as my body ask for massive amounts of calories every day as well. I think it because of having my flesh, blood, and bones being so strong and evolved, it uses plenty of calories, and even more when I divide myself into Slime Clones, needing even more calories and mass.

The feast was delectable and I even ate the Chimera's head, its brain was delicious even if the monster was very stupid, it had a creaminess and juiciness, filled with calories. Even its bones were delicious, crunchy, and filled with calcium, it brought a lot of calories and gave me plenty of energy.

Perhaps because this Boss was being specifically enhanced with Divine Energy, it had incredible amounts of energy stored on its flesh. Although this Chimera wasn't as delicious as the Whale Centipede, it was very good and in almost the same level of delicacy.

The feast went by for several hours until night, when we devoured the entire Boss, one hour later it spawned once again, but I left it for my wives and children, with some of my support. With so many strong warriors and mages, the Boss was immediately overwhelmed and died in half an hour. Then, we feasted on it once again, but we just grilled it with fire magic and enjoyed it with some beverages and side dishes like pickled vegetables. My family gained a lot of prizes after defeating the boss much like myself, alongside obtaining its blessing. Even the Fire Onis did their best in the fight.

[Calculating EXP gained…]

[Kireina] gained 125.500.000 EXP]

[LEVEL 040/250 EXP 440.960.462/670.000.0000 EXP]

[Kireina] learned the following Skills]

[Shark Head Chimera Ethereal Ocean Domain]

[Eight Tyrannical Phantom Claws of Demise]

[Lineage of Chimera Beasts; Desert Adapted Monsters]

"Oh?! Three Skills! That's not bad at all"

It seems that I obtained this Boss special Domain that it used to swim through the air, it seems quite useless for me though as my Aura is clearly superior. But I can fuse it with my Aura whenever I accumulate enough Skills.

The second Skill was quite interesting, it let me conjure eight phantom claws of giant sizes that could easily pulverize a mountain. It was a very powerful Skill that resembled my [Arms of Demise] but seemed to hold even more strength.

The third Skill was another Lineage type of blessing, that can enhance one's talent and growth, it will be essential for my future children for them to grow stronger and be able to catch up with their big siblings.

I was still feeling with a lot of energy on my body and eating more of the Boss just gave me more. I ended up using this energy to have some sweet love with all of my wives. Not only me but my wives were incredibly energetic, so we had a lot of activities and barely rested for the rest of the night.

[Day 168]

Today I woke up on the portable house bed with Alice and Altani at each side, there wasn't anyone else, and after activating my senses, I heard that everyone else was either cooking, working, or sparring outside. I quickly realized that Alice wasn't sleeping but gently drinking my blood from my left arm, she seemed to be in a slight trance, like a baby drinking milk from her mother. I found her quite adorable.

Altani in the other side was just sleeping, her beautiful brown skin had a golden luster today, as her white hair shined brightly, I noticed that her body was being slowly "cultivated" by soothing magical energies, it seems that the [Legendary Hero Seed] inside of her was once again reinforcing her physique. I wonder if she can obtain a Hero Class, she already has a small [Epic] Skill herself, so with this Seed, it could evolve into a true [Heroic Epic].

Not so long after I opened my eyes Alice noticed me as she stopped drinking blood. The moment she took her sharp fangs from my arm, the small wounds instantly regenerated.

"Master~! Good morning…"

"Alice, good morning. Were you hungry?"

Over my question, Alice seemed both flustered and excited, her breathing suddenly intensified as her fair skin blushed.

"Y-Yes, I'm sorry Master for not asking you beforehand"

"It's fine, I accumulated a lot of energy and mass from eating the Boss two times, you can drink as much blood as you want, Alice. Is it making you stronger?"

"I-Indeed! If a Dhampir drinks blood directly from its Master, it will slowly become stronger and possibly evolve into a strong Vampire variant!"

"Oh! A true Vampire, that would be amazing. Your strength would increase exponentially, I wonder how will you look. You're already a flawless beauty, can it get any better?"

After hearing my praise Alice buried her flustered face on my shoulder.

"M-Master… Haah… D-Don't say those things… I-I get excited…"

When Alice started to breathe heavily in an exciting way, Altani just woke up from her slumber. Noticing Alice, she greeted us both in her own manners.

"Good morning, Master… Good morning miss Alice"

"Ah~! Altani, you looked so cute when sleeping, I was about to drink your blood if it wasn't for Master here, fufufu"

"Good morning Altani, I've noticed your growth in strength"

Altani nodded to both of us while speaking her mind.

"Thanks, Master... However, this strength is only thanks to the Seed that you implanted on my chest… I will work very hard to meet your expectations"

"It's not only from the Seed alone, there is only much power that the Seed can give you on its own, the rest of your hard work is what has made the Seed give you its full strength, as it only boosts your potential, it doesn't give you immediate power"

"M-Master, such words. I don't deserve this benevolence… But, thanks…"

Suddenly, Altani slowly approached her soft lips towards mine, I quickly intercepted her with a gentle kiss. Alice also wanted a kiss as she asked for it mischievously, obviously teasing the serious Altani. However, she only ignored her as she stood up from the bed, did some stretches, and went to take a quick bath.

"Booh… Altani doesn't want my love as well? Sigh~"

"Alice, you don't have to be so teasing of her…"

"Well… How about you tease me instead, Master~"

Alice slowly moved her lips towards mine and gave me a passionate kiss, my tongue warmed her cold mouth as she mischievously played inside of my mouth with her cold tongue. Although she was very excited, the warmth that her body produced was minimal, so I had to warm her up with my own body. She quickly stuck her body to mine and continued kissing me passionately as I massaged her firm and fair butt. Not long after we enjoyed a more entertaining time together.
