Ah, it increased… yesterday they were a little bit less… does that mean that my faith keeps on increasing, its as if it did a big jump.

As I moved away the system holographic screen, the warmness of a body resting over me spread through my chest. It was Adelle, who was quietly sleeping, she resembled an angel whenever she wasn't angry.

The presence inside of her belly grew stronger as well… I presume that after devouring Megusan and obtaining something that I call a 'pseudo-divinity', my children obtained an upgrade in their bloodline and blessings from my part. Although it may not be noticeable for those already born, those still in gestations must have received a large boost in their power, which will make them even stronger when they are born.

Now that I had the issue with Morpheus's dungeon resolved, I decided to slack today and didn't even wake up, I embraced the sleeping Adelle as I closed my eyes again and kept sleeping in this peacefulness and quietness for several hours until my wives were the ones who ended waking me up.

"How long are you planning on sleeping, my wife…? C-Can you at least let me free from your grasp…? Sigh…" said Adelle, pouting as I woke up and glanced at her face.

"Sorry, I was just too comfy in here… I thought that you did not mind my embrace"

"Ah! W-Well, I don't mind… But it's like 2 PM! I want to take a bath!" said Adelle.

"Alright then"

And so, we took a bath with my wives, Vudia and Ailine were with us as always, alongside Valentia. Ryo, Amiphossia, and Aarae seemed to be somewhere else… and some of my wives who woke up earlier were preparing breakfast instead.

Mady and Nephiana had missed me greatly, even when I left a Slime Clone that shared my mind with them. I suppose it will never feel like the real deal unless I were to split myself for real… as I did against Megusan.

Alongside Adelle, the three girls washed my body as if they had even missed this. Mady's tentacles rubbed soap around my body, covering my body in aromatic foam, while Nephiana used a sponge to wash my back, Adelle washed my arms… and my large pair of breasts, which she couldn't take her eyes away from.

"Fufufu, to think that you would fall asleep, Kireina…" said Mady.

"Well, I did not… It was rather tired of all the work I've been doing and wanted to take a break, and sleeping until someone else woke me up was something in my mind… and Adelle was very warm"

"Ooh?! Maybe I should steal her from time to time then~"

"W-What are you talking about, tentacle woman?!"

"What's wrong? You can't take on my love?"

"Ueh! Why are you so teasing today, Mady…?" said Adelle, as she received Mady's tentacles, they similarly washed her body to Kireina's.

"Hehe, I'm just glad that Kireina is back~ Now we can cuddle together while waiting for the children to hatch," said Nephiana, she had gotten too used to the life inside a comfy home, and had barely trained herself in the dungeon that much.

"I fear that Nephiana may develop Neet-like behavior… You really like to slack off…!" said Adelle.

Adelle had learned about what 'Neet' meant from the Rin Sisters. Warning her about Nephiana and Mady, mothers who spent too much time at home relaxing and sleeping would develop lazy personalities and behaviors, similar to those of Neet.

But I don't mind it as much, it is heartwarming to cuddle with my wives, and Nephiana and Mady are very cute when they are just lazing around and not being serious.

"Neet? What is Neet? Can I eat it?" asked Nephiana, as she flapped her wings in the water, like a bird washing its feathers.

"Err… you better not know"

"I remember Masta saying something about her being one!" said Rimuru.

"Wait, Rimuru, don't tell them…!"

"She said that she was very lazy back then… she didn't even like to do anything!" said Rimuru, as if proud of my lazy attitude back then.

"Huh? Really?!" asked Adelle.

"Oh, my~" chuckled Mady, with a teasing smile.

"But Kireina is always working hard…!" shouted Nephiana.

"D-Don't remind me of my past (previous life) …"

As I decided to spend the rest of the day with Nephiana, Mady, and Adelle, things went very slowly and peaceful. A Secretary Succubus came with several reports of important events that have happened today, and some other things I was not aware of.

Starting with Redgaria, yesterday I gave him Megusan's egg, which he had been inspecting since then without stopping for a second. He hasn't reported anything out of the ordinary, aside from discovery that the cells of the fetus inside the egg had mutated due to Megusan's split soul properties.

Moving on to other things, Athos Soul Copy, which inhabited a sword of its same name had joined Amiphossia's group, although the sword was supposed to belong to me, I will just gift it to her if she wants to. The Sword has a lot of potentials because Athos's Soul Copy is inside, hopefully, he can quickly grow stronger like the Wyvern Overlord and protect my daughter better.

Talking about Amiphossia's harem… she finally encountered with Evan last night and was surprised when she squeezed him as always and found out that he was able to shapeshift into a golden-colored slime.

Evan alongside the Amazoness Makesia and the Black-Haired Dual Swordsman Armand evolved into Chaos Humans.

Evan became a rare type of Spirit and Slime-type Chaos Human, his appearance barely changed, but there was something 'shinier' about him. Evan already had the power to partially shapeshift his body into a slime, but it was hard for him, as the amount of slime that made his body was not as much.

Evan had beaten his stepbrother Godwin, but their battle was bloody and quite savage, and he ended up with large wounds on his stomach, with most of its ribs, lungs, stomach, intestines, and spine being destroyed by Godwin's parting gift attack, using its large sword. He was of course saved by me, just like Celica, the Slime Clones that were around the battlefield rushed towards his half-dying body and fused themselves with him with the 'Symbiosis', 'Parasite' and 'Synthesis' Skills, replacing his internal organs and some of its bones.

Perhaps this had influenced him to evolve into a Slime-type Chaos Human, though I have not much idea of why the Spirit part… well, such evolutions are rather random. But it could be attributed to his powers as a soon-to-be Hero of Light?

I wonder what Apollo, the God who originally blessed him as to say.

The Amazoness Makesia evolved into a Blue Oni-type Chaos Human, with bulging muscles and blue skin, alongside white hair, crimson eyes, and a single horn in her forehead, she had provoked Oga to a fight this morning, ending in her utter defeat. But Oga seemed to have praised her efforts. She developed the power to manipulate blue flames.

The Black-Haired Dual Swordsman Armand became a Demon-type (Succubi) and Wolf-type Chaos Human, he obtained black wolf ears and a tail, alongside dark demon horns on his forehead. His musculature became slimmer and his muscles tightened, he became wilder as well and gained the ability to transform into a werewolf.

Their evolutions could be attributed to what they were good at in some ways... Makesia had a strong Fire Affinity alongside a powerful musculature, becoming an Oni seemed almost natural. While Armand was a flashy-type of guy, with fast attacks and Dark Attribute Affinity, he also liked to go to brothels a lot, so perhaps his lust made him a Succubi-type Chaos Human.

Aside from more humans evolving into Chaos Humans, the Centaur races also evolved similarly to the Sphinxes into Bastet.

The Kelpie Centaur evolved into two new races, Leviathan and Mizuchi. The more physically oriented became Leviathan, with strong and muscular bodies covered in hard scales, their hooves turned into strong claws, their arms also gained gauntlet-like claws similar to the Dragon Centaur of the West.

Meanwhile, the magic-oriented Kelpie became Mizuchi, which resembled long sea serpents covered in thin scales, their hovers turned into long fins and they were able to levitate using the 'Levitate' spell naturally. Some even gained a 'Water Orb' in their chest.

Ligurian, the chief became a Mizuchi, as he was magic oriented, he was rather surprised, but he adapted quite fast. Meanwhile, Ervin, his eldest son and Aarae's boyfriend became a strong Leviathan, his muscles became admirable, covered in strong armor-like scales, his hands became gauntlet-like claws and even his tail held immense strength, I can imagine my Aarae being fascinated over his new 'upgrade', he seemed to like a lot Ervin's muscles.

And for the Dragon Centaur, the West Dragon Centaur became a race named Niohoggr and the East Dragon Centaur became a race named Zhulong.

The Niohoggr gained stronger and burlier bodies, covered in full sets of armor made entirely out of their scales. They grew giant horns in their heads and were able to spit blazing fire with ease. Some had their scales turned into red and blue colors, but the majority were green. A selected few had scales made out of jewels.

Trianesna, the West Dragon Centaur Chief, had her body become burlier and muscular, her claws grew sharper and she had a natural armor made out of scales in her lower and upper body, with large white horns at each side of her head. Her physical fighting power had increased exponentially, and her defenses were outstanding.

Meanwhile, the Zhulong's lower body became longer and slimmer, in several areas of their tails covered in feathers. The Zhulong gained an event stronger talent for magic and Wind Attribute, gaining more Wind Orbs across their bodies.

Yinglong, the chief of the East Dragon Centaur, became a Great Zhulong, and his burly body remained mostly the same, but his talent for magic was increased, becoming an outstanding warrior in both physical and magic power.

The Wind Wyvernoid, Roneth was surprised by the number of new citizens which belonged to the Dragon race, as she was qualified as a 'Lesser Dragon' and was part of the race given birth by Tiamat, the Dragoness Goddess of Fertility and Motherhood, she saw them as 'brothers'.

Demi-human Dragon races seem to be 'rare' and often are called to be extinct, like the Evergreen Town in the middle of the Vast Plains, where the Dungeon that was 'constructed' by Dragonoid lies. That town is inhabited only by Humans and small groups of Demi-Humans such as beastmen, and Dragonoid is said to once have lived there, but went 'extinct'.

There may be the possibility that the Dragonoid live in a different Realm altogether, but the existence of such a Dungeon at least tells me that there are at least a few Dragon Gods in the Realm of Vida, though they may be barely worshiped.

Roneth joined the Dragon Centaurs and became a member of them, even if her lower half wasn't that of a dragon, there were several Dragon Centaur capable of flying, the whole Zhulong subspecies was capable of floating in fact.

She has been a loner for the most part, but after joining Evan's party, she became closer to them… And she has been seen talking with Yiksukesh and the Spirits (Nereid, Kjata, Ocypete, and Smilkas).

Aside from these, no other races had shown 'evolutions' or 'changes', but I suspect that it may be happening very soon.

The rest of the day was spent leisurely while practically doing nothing other than to cuddle and read books with my wives while taking care of the eggs.

The group of 'Idols' composed of Ismena, Acelina, Nanako, Kaguya, and Altani stayed with us practicing their songs, performances, and dances. Kaguya had a surprisingly beautiful voice, while Acelina had a very horrible voice, but her dancing skills were close to none. Altani seemed to be getting used to this and enjoyed herself a bit.

On the side, I created a few Slime Clones or 'Grotesque Flesh Slime Spawns' dedicated to generating fruit with the [Sacred Rainbow Blood Fruit Creation], [Etheric Lighting Fruit], [Sweet Fruit Production] Skills. They also dedicated themselves to teach the Dryad group how to create delicious fruits… by feeding the ones produced to them, they liked them a lot, but it may take some time for the girls to replicate the sweetness of the fruits.

Oh, and due to my decree, two new churches were constructed, each church had the statues of all my family, with me as the biggest one in the middle. I could sense their faith and prayers slowly gathering as strange and formless energy that was assimilated by my Soul, this will most likely give me more Skill Points and EXP.

After having a pleasant dinner with my beloved family, where Ailine and Vudia sat down in my laps, as usual, I went to sleep… but I was stopped by my wives, and ended up having a lot of fun before sleeping for real.

[The Levels of the [Sacred Rainbow Blood Fruit Creation; Level 6] and [Worshiped Demon Goddess; Level 2] Skills has increased by one!]

[Furthermore, the Levels of the [Etheric Lighting Fruit; Level 3] and [Sweet Fruit Production; Level 1] Skills has increased by two!]
