[LEVEL 073/250] [EXP 237.777.250.047/400.000.000.000]

[Kireina] acquired the [Mother of Evolution] Title!]

I woke with the same System messages as always with the addition of a newly acquired Title.

Just by looking at its name 'Mother of Evolution', I can guess that it is related to my recent activities, and perhaps the natural evolution induced upon the citizens that received my blessings.

Perhaps some citizens evolved similarly to Chaos Humans and the Centaurs?

Knock, knock.

Someone entered my room after knocking, I lifted my head as I saw the Rin Sisters who bought some news about what had just happened today.

They had changed slightly from before, it seems that they had evolved overnight, as I remember seeing them still on their previous appearances yesterday.

"Kireina-sama, we bought you some news~," said Ren, who used to be my 'Energetic Mind', she had the appearance of a fully matured and motherly woman, her dark purple hair waved around the air as her crimson eyes gleamed with a light of voracity… She had two goat-like horns in each side of her head, alongside small bat-like wings growing from her hips, alongside a long, black-colored tail with the tip in the form of a heart.

"Would you wake up already, you lazy sloth? Are you really the Empress of this place? Geez" said Rin, formerly known as 'Cocky Mind'. Unlike Ren, she had the appearance of a young and cute girl, even after evolving again, she hasn't reached maturity through her appearance, and this seemed to irritate her. She was completely flat-chested, with a petite body, just a bit taller than Vudia or Ailine. She had short pink hair and large pearl-like purple eyes.

"Hmm… I'm sleepy as well" said Ran, who was formerly my 'Lazy Mind'. In terms of appearance, she was between the two girls, standing in a middle ground between young-looking and adult, resembling a woman in her early twenties. She had a decently sized chest and mildly wide hips, just like the other girls, she had horns at each side of her head, small bat-like wings sticking on her hips, and enchanting beauty. Her hair reached her hips and was purple, while her irises were pink.

"Couldn't you send the report to the Arachne Maids or Sakura? You didn't have to come here yourselves" I said.

"Oh my, but Kireina-sama, don't you like our new appearances? Don't we look even more devilish now? Fufu" said Ren. I remember her being very energetic when she was just a split mind, but she developed differently, she became more responsible like an adult. But her appearance is often like that of a teasing mature beauty. Because she possesses my memories, she must already know that she is acting like those typical Japanese characters, and she seems to embrace such conduct.

"Well, you all look a little bit different, but congratulations on your evolutions… I didn't know that you were training in the Dungeon?"

"Well, since we became able to summon Secretary Succubus, alongside the Secretary Slime Clones that you created, our work was loosened greatly. Although we still do a lot of things, we have a lot of free days now. We were spending the free days at our manor, resting, and lazing around… it was the best until Rin went and talked about wanting to get stronger" said Ran.

"Well of course! Since we were originally Kireina's minds, we have the memories of when she was on Earth and how boring it was! A new world filled with powers, magic and a game-like system are heaven, but we were wasting it around doing paperwork! So, I forced these two cows to work around and get stronger!" shouted Rin.

"Oh my, a 'cow'? I am not fat, it is not my fault that you lack my voluptuous beauty, little Rin. Fufufu" said Ren.

"W-What?! There is nothing wrong with being flat you know! You are fat, look at those giant balloons! Filled with fat! Also, weren't we all a man before, you shouldn't embrace your femininity like that! Don't tell me that you are like Kireina already!" shouted Rin.

"Rin… please don't go off-topic," said Ran.

"Huh? W-What do you mean like 'me'?" I asked.

"D-Don't you realize? Weren't you a man before? Why are you embracing your femininity so fast?! Not even a year has passed, and you already act like a teasing lady just like this 'cow'! You're even pregnant now, what is going on? For real!" shouted Rin.

"Well, I just accept who I am now and keep on living, I am not immature enough to think that my previous life was the only thing that mattered. Also, everyone here just treats me like a woman, and I slowly accepted and embraced it, its not so bad. I'm even beginning to like women's clothes and to accept my beauty" I said with honesty.

"Geh…! You're really a shameless pervert, aren't you?" asked Rin.

"Rin��� you shouldn't play with fire," said Ran.

"Well, I can show you how perverted and shameless I am… want to come with me somewhere where we can be alone together? Fufufu" I said, teasing Rin.

"Gah! Uweh?! Fweeh…! S-Shut up…!"

"Fufufu, Kireina-sama has truly become the representation of Lust… And due to her blessings, we had evolved into her followers, we should embrace the wickedness of our powers, Rin" said Ren.

"S-So you are self-aware of your changes as well?!" asked Rin.

"Rin, can you stop being such a drama queen…? You're also acting nothing at all as we used to be when we were a man on Earth, we had long deviated from our original personality. You act just as feminine as Kireina and Ren. And you were also the one who wanted to become the 'Princess' of the Empire some time ago. Don't you remember?" said Ran, completely shutting down Rin's complaints.

"Sigh… you're such a hypocrite sometimes, little Rin~ Don't worry, let your big sister embrace you in a warm hug. Perhaps you just need the embracing love of a motherly figure~? Fufu" said Ren as she hugged Rin's petite body, asphyxiating her with her gigantic breasts.

Rin released shrieks of agony as she slowly lost the air out of her lungs.

"Geh! Gufueh…!"

"There, there~ You're so cute"

"I'm glad all of you three are doing fine. Feel free to come here as much as you want, we once shared the same body, so I feel like all of you are like my sisters in a way" I said.

"Sure… hey, can we have breakfast? I'm hungry as hell" said Ran, as she sat down, glancing at my wives who were waking up in a daze after hearing the hysterical screams of Rin, "Hello", she said.

"Ah, the Rin Sisters? Guu… you girls are so loud" complained Rimuru.

"Oh my, Rimuru-chan, long time no see, you're cute as ever. Can I cuddle with you? Fufu" asked Ren.

"Guu? Ren-chan? Sure! But is that Rin? She looks… in pain" said Rimuru, pointing at the suffocating Rin, who was fighting for her life to free herself from the powerful grip of Ren and her asphyxiating breasts.

"Oh my~ Perhaps she had enough of my motherly love?" said Ren, freeing Rin at last.

"Uwah…! T-That was awful! What is wrong with you…? Ugh…" complained Rin, sitting down in another chair.

Ren then moved towards Rimuru and embraced her in a similar hug, though Rimuru was of almost of her same height, she sat down in her lap and received the motherly love.

"Rimuru-chan, you're as cute as ever, fufu. What a good girl"

"Guu… I'm a good girl, gu"

Ailine who was in the bed also desired the snuggles.

"Ah! I'm also a good girl, you know?" she said.

"Oh my, another little precious slime girl, Ailine-chan, come here. Aunty Ren has lots of love to give you" said Ren as she hugged Ailine as well. The two didn't seem to complain about her massive breasts and even cuddled with them.

Anyways, the Rin Sisters had originally come to inform me about not only them evolving, but about other races such as Goblins, Trolls, Yuki-Onna, Fire Salamander, and Wind Valkyries.

Most Goblins evolved not into Hobgoblins but Fire Goblins, Ice Goblins, Earth Goblins, Dark Goblins, Light Goblins, and so on. According to their attribute affinities, they would evolve into such strengthened versions of themselves. And would then evolve into the equivalent of a Hobgoblin of that attribute.

Even Goblins who seemingly showed no attribute affinity at all would often become one of these randomly, gaining a new attribute affinity for the rest of their lives easier.

There were some exceedingly rare cases of Goblins evolving into a Goblin Kings, having their skin turned completely dark like charcoal, covered in golden tattoos, and possessing a crown. There were currently only three Goblin Kings, and they seemed promising. Each Goblin King had the power of commanding other Goblins and had an affinity with almost all attributes.

Trolls began to evolve into Titans, Giants, or Minotaur. Even the smallest one was around three meters of height. Their race title varied depending on their attribute affinities like most other evolutions, and a group of Giants quickly formed inside of the Empire, a remodeling of several houses started immediately this very morning.

Yuki-Onna and Wendigo evolved as well after gaining my blessings. Several Yuki-Onna became Winter Empresses, gaining tremendous beauty, light blue skin, and aquamarine eyes, their magic manipulation even surpassed trained mages without any previous experience.

Most of them remained with Japanese-like attires, but some gained western-like dresses and crowns made out of ice over their heads. A Supreme Winter Empress appeared through this evolution and obtained the ability to command all Yuki-Onna, she was given a name and then added to a specific team for battle-oriented Winter Empresses and Yuki-Onna.

And a few dozens of Wendigos became Snow Horrors, growing in size and becoming Half-Giants. They remained their beastmen-like appearance, but while wearing their fur, they would turn into horrifying giant monsters with powerful strength. From within the evolved Wendigo, a Snow Horror Sovereign appeared, being able to command them just like the Supreme Winter Empress.

Flame Salamander became Blaze Ignis Salamanders, their bodies became stronger and most of them were packed with new muscles. Hard scales covered their claws, feet, and shoulders, some gained longer claws than others and almost lost the ability to secrete inflammable and sticky substances. One of the Flame Salamanders I named, Flama, evolved into a Hell Ignis Salamander Empress and obtained the ability to command and strengthen the Ignis Salamanders with ease.

Wind Valkyries evolved into Storm Valkyrie Paladins, their gracefulness and beauty increased, alongside their strength and magic capacity, their wings became larger surpassing five meters each, with bright emerald and yellow feathers. Most of them gained small wings at each side of their heads as well, and their hair turned blonde or gold. One of the Wind Valkyries blessed by me, Viento, became a Windstorm Valkyrie Holy Emperor, with a similar ability to lead his kin.

With these new Sovereigns rising from these evolutions, it will be easier to motivate the citizens to train and grow stronger so they can serve me better in future wards were large quantities of soldiers will be required. A variety of troops will be essential to overwhelm the enemy, and it will also be fun to watch.

About the Rin Sisters and their Secretary Succubus, the Sisters became Abyssal Lust Succubus Executives, while the Secretary Succubus became Lust Secretary Succubus, losing the weakness of disappearing after a few hours or days, becoming permanent citizens in the Empire when summoned. Due to this, the Rin Sisters stopped summoning them so aimlessly but had to register a lot of them into the civilian list.

As the day went by, I spent it with my family and the Rin Sisters, the Spirits also joined today's daily activities and made a lot of interesting interactions with the Sisters.

"Oh my, so many adorable girls… Oh, I remember when Kjata was just a floating blazing living armor! Those were the old days…" said Ren.

"Ren-chan, it hasn't been that long since then" muttered Kjata.

"But didn't you feel weird when you changed into a humanoid form? I did so" said Ran, while snacking on some biscuits.

"Not really, my demi-human body is formed when I solidify my Spirit Fire… I am genderless but I took on the form of a cute girl because that's what my Master prefers" said Kjata, glancing at me with a smile.

"What I prefer? Kjata… Err, thanks?"

Now that I think about it, would she be able to give birth to a child? Well, I was able to do so with Brontes… Wait, why am I suddenly thinking that?!

"Kjata-chan, you're so cute, let me embrace you in my arms," said Ren.

"But Ren-chan, if you don't have Fire Immunity or high Fire Resistance, you will get burned" muttered Kjata, as she was embraced.

Ren stayed silent as her flesh was burned but quickly recovered due to her strong regeneration.

"Ah, this pain is nothing. I like to hug cute girls, and I will do anything to do so" muttered Ren, determined.

"What a weird determination you have… You're really a part of Master's mind, I suppose, such depraved thoughts…" muttered Nereid.

"But Nereid, don't you want to be one of Master's concubines? Aren't you just as depraved?" said Kjata.

"Hey, Kjata! Stop talking nonsense…! Haha…" muttered Nereid, as she covered her face, which was completely blushed.

"Mommy why does Nereid-chan denies her feelings?" asked Ailine, who was sitting in my lap.

"I don't know, she's a tsundere, that how they are"

"Nereid, I do remember that you were a lazy little moth! But now you're in love with Kireina? You've fallen low…" said Rin.

"Hey! I never said…! Y-You!"

"Heh, what? What are you going to do, little moth?"

"I'm not a moth! Water Bullet!"

Flash!

Nereid covered Rin's entire body with water, ruining her beautiful dress.

"Ah! H-How dare you! You're a servant, a summoned spirit! You shouldn't treat me like that!" she shouted.

"You're too! And you're not Master, I don't care!"

"Geez! You scrawny little pest! Shadow Bullet!"

Flash!

And a small magic battle began to happen in the middle of a relaxed day.

"Can someone remind me why is this even happening?" asked Ran.

"Uwah…! N-Nereid-chan, please stop fighting, its dangerous to do it inside the Master's room!" shouted Ocypete.

"Well, not really, the entire castle, even the furniture, and the plates are all golems, if they break they will regenerate in no time," I said.

"Master… you mean that you are letting these two fights anyways?" asked Ran.

"Well, its kind of fun, isn't it? It adds a little spice to the mundane daily life!" said Smilkas.

"Smilkas-chan, what 'mundane daily life' are you talking about? All of this is incredible compared to Earth… This is why I love it, right? Kjata-chan" said Ren.

"Ren-chan, please stop hugging me, the smell of your burning flesh is very displeasing… Even if you regenerate right away" muttered Kjata.

"Oh! I gained Fire Resistance! Perhaps hugging Kjata is the easiest way to learn that Skill?" said Ren, completely ignoring Kjata's opinion.

"Hey, I heard that Kireina is capable of forcibly evolving others with materials and a new Skill. Is that true?" asked Nereid, who was resting over the beaten-up Rin.

"If you want to get evolved you will have to wait, Nereid! I am next on the list! Ohoho!" said Acelina.

"And me!" said Oga.

"And me as well," said Ismena.

"Of course, I should be included," said Altani.

"Don't forget about me~?" said Charlotte.

"I suppose I should get it as well?" said Lilith.

"Me too!" said Nanako.

"Geez! Just how many?! Master, why do you have so many women?!" asked Nereid.

"Well, I have a big heart!" I said as I patted my precious Ailine.

"Mommy loves everyone!" she said.

Nereid sighed as she patted the unconscious Rin's head, she was completely wet, Nereid's strength fairly surpassed Rin's, two water bullets in the head knocked the young-looking Succubus out.

The smell of burned flesh hindered in the room.

"Ren, please, stop this," said Kjata.

"Ah! It leveled up!" said Ren.

The rest of the day continued leisurely, I decided that tomorrow I would continue with the Evolutions.

[The Levels of the [Etheric Lighting Fruit; Level 8], and [Sweet Fruit Production; Level 6] Skills have increased!]

[Title Explanation]

[Mother of Evolution]

A title bestowed upon a mortal woman who had played with life enough to evolve the living and the death multiple times throughout her life. Without possessing the status of a god, this would seem to be an impossible feat, but Kireina had managed to do so with her unique and unconventional abilities and powers that she had gathered after consuming monsters and items and obtaining their skills, which she subsequently merged into stranger and stranger ones.

Kireina is capable of merging slimes through the Skill 'Slime Combination' and skeletons through the Skill 'Bone Fusion'. It could be said that these two skills were what started her career as the Mother of Evolution.

She had managed to merge different monsters with these Skills, coupled with her strange 'Synthesis', which has evolved alongside her and possesses effects that do not exist in other Alchemists, like those of merging living beings with inorganic matter.

By furthermore infusing her Soul into it, its effects become even wider, and after obtaining the 'Forced Evolution Induction' Skill, there may be nothing that she cannot evolve now.

This Title grants the effects of increasing the chances of successful evolution through Forced Evolution.

It also grants greater chances for Kireina's citizens to evolve into new species after obtaining her blessings.
