Having spoken all that was necessary with the gods, and having finished breakfast, I moved to the outside of the church to glance at the large amounts of people entering the portals created by my body Clone.

Most people were carrying their belongings inside their Item Box, so not many had troubles transporting their stuff around, aside from their houses.

Houses were hard to transport inside Item Boxes, it seems… although I can do it fairly easy by myself, you need to lift the house and put it inside the Item Box, and not many can do that, even High Lizardmen who have greater strength than normal human civilians.

That is why I had planned on doing something with all these buildings to not leave them as simple ruins.

After a few minutes, all the people had finally crossed over to my Empire, where they were greeted by my other body there, the Rin Sisters, and many other assistants that led them to their respective new homes, while giving them a large introduction to everything and most of the important facilities.

The people seemed surprised and quite dazzled by the appearance of my Empire, which looked more advanced than their city by miles, as there were defined streets, well-paved floor, various large buildings, and advanced facilities that served as hospitals, restaurants, libraries, and more.

Although through Goghesdum teachings, their civilization flourished quite fast and reached something similar to a Greek-level civilization, my Empire was already in post-modern civilization, with many things from modern earth already existing here.

Due to the varied array of magic items spread all around that served as different types of communication devices, the entire Empire was always connected… although it was not as advanced as the internet.

Goghesdum had decided to take a peek in my Empire as well, alongside Yerze, but these two would be accompanying me so they did not take too long.

Goghesdum's size was way too big to enter my Empire without making too many troubles, so he decided to use his human form… and that is when I was a bit surprised.

The way she transformed was quite picturesque, as she bathed herself in thunder and glowed brightly, as if 'evolving'.

I already knew, through the explanation of the Wyvern Overlord, that Elder Dragons or extraordinarily strong Wyverns could take upon the appearance of humanoids, resembling Dragonoid.

What surprised me was that Goghesdum was actually a woman.

Whenever she talked with his dragon form, she always sounded like a man, so it felt very confusing.

Goghesdum's body quickly changed into a small size, about the same size as mine.

"Phew… I have not used this form in dozens of years… I feel like it is not necessary" said Goghesdum with the voice of a mature and thoughtful woman.

"Eh?! Goghesdum-sama, you're a woman?!" asked Yerze in surprise.

"Ah, woman…? Ah… Oh, well… It is complicated," said Goghesdum.

Her appearance was that of a mature woman with beautiful curves across her body. Her hips were wide, blossoming like beautiful flowers, and her breasts were rather immense, resembling two cannonballs protruding from her chest while being covered partially in purple scales.

She had a long, purple-scaled tail, horns made out of yellow crystal resembling those of his original appearance, golden eyes, and long purple hair, alongside many smaller purple crystals across her body and a large one that exuded a powerful and thick Mana in her chest.

Her skin was pale white, and only had scales in certain areas, differently than High Lizardmen, who had purple scales across their bodies, making them seem as if they had purple skin.

At her back, right atop her shoulders, she had another pair of limbs that were her dragon wings, that could easily extend up to three meters to fly.

She held a dignified expression, for the most part, glancing at others from above… if they were smaller than her of course.

"Complicated?" asked Yerze.

"Well… I suppose now that things have come to this, I should explain a bit?" wondered Goghesdum.

"Explain?" I asked.

"Yes… Well, most of the time I am recognized as a male Elder Dragon due to my manly voice while transformed… but I was in fact a woman. However, being recognized as a man held better benefits and more respect within the Lizardmen Tribe, so very few people would ever know the truth about me and this form… And well, in a way I am still a man, as in my previous life, I used to be a male magician adventurer that died in that dungeon… my soul seemed to have been recycled in the Dungeon and I was reincarnated as a small reptile monster" said Goghesdum with a rather motherly voice.

"What… so Goghesdum-sama is not our father but our mother?!" asked Yerze.

"W-Well… yes. It could be said that I am your mommy, Yerze…" muttered Goghesdum while being a bit flustered, it seems that when she transformed into her human form, she became capable of showcasing more emotions than when she was a giant over one hundred meters tall dragon.

"This is actually quite good… I might end up acquiring another cute Maid, it seems" I said, glancing at Goghesdum's nude body, which was only covered on her long purple hair and scales.

"M-Maid?! W-Wait, Kireina-sama…!"

"Hmm, good measures… I think I got it" I said, as I put my hands together, and then in just a split of a second, a maid dress was created.

"This one was made with your measures, it is similar to the one that Yerze is currently using, but has a few more decorations and it is more revealing in the chest side. After all, you got to show your good assets" I said, giving Goghesdum her new dress.

"Assets?! Wait! I am a man, Kireina-sama…! A-At least a butler!" said Goghesdum.

"You're a woman now, so better put it in, fufufu… or do you want to defy me?" I asked, leaking a bit of an intimidating aura into Goghesdum.

"A-Ah! O-Okay… I will… put it in…" muttered Goghesdum as she quickly put into the dress, the long white stockings, and other beautiful decorations.

"T-This is… I cannot believe it… I am… an Elder Dragon!" said Goghesdum while being completely flustered.

"Kyaaa! Goghesdum-sama, you look so cute!" said Yerze.

"She does indeed look quite beautiful," said Nesiphae.

"It fits her so well, Honey is very talented," said Zehe.

"I want to wear a maid outfit too, guu!" said Rimuru.

"Well, there are maid outfits for everyone… but I would prefer to leave that for later, my love," I said, patting my cute Rimuru.

"Okay, guu!" said Rimuru.

"Since when have maid outfits looked so beautiful? It even makes me want to try out some" said Acelina.

Now that I have a rather sizable harem… it would be nice if I could be able to make them wear maid outfits one day…

"T-This is way too embarrassing, Kireina-sama! Please, let me take it out!" said Goghesdum.

"Take it out? This will be your clothes from now on" I said.

"Eh?!"

"I even made them special. Whenever you transform into a dragon, it will expand and still cover your dragon body in a maid dress… isn't it lovely? You can be a maid at all times now, Goghesdum-chan!" I said.

"EHH? Ugh… T-This is the worst…" muttered Goghesdum, kneeling in the ground in defeat.

Athos, who had suffered a fate similar to Goghesdum, appeared behind her and patted her shoulders.

"You will never get used to it, but you will tolerate it… trust me," she said, with her little girl voice.

"You… don't tell me…" muttered Goghesdum.

"Yes, I used to be a male Elder Dragon… and a sword…" muttered Athos.

"I-I suppose… some have it indeed worst…" said Goghesdum.

"What are you talking about, Goghesdum-sama? You look gorgeous in that outfit! Ow we can be like mother and daughter in our new career as maids of our Goddess!" said Yerze happily.

"Yerze… you've changed way too fast…" muttered Goghesdum.

Her change must be because she was already, most likely been 'enlightened' by my Enlightenment Skill, so she is walking the same path as me.

Of course, I will not reveal this to Goghesdum, who had still not been affected by it completely.

"Hm, now that I think about it, Athos could also be a Dragon Maid…" I said.

"…Eh?" muttered Athos.

"Good idea mommy! She would look way too cute!" said Amiphossia.

"Wait for a second-"

"So her name is Athos? She is truly a very adorable young Dragon girl! Was she also an Elder Dragon? Are Elder Dragons always this cute in their humanoid forms?!" asked Yerze fascinated by Athos's cute appearance.

"No…"

"Yeah, yeah, I already have her measurements… and done," I said, creating yet another maid outfit fitting for Athos through my Organic Equipment Creation Skill.

"Please… have mercy… the last… dignity I have!" asked Athos.

"There is dignity in being cute!" said Amiphossia.

Even Goghesdum glanced at Athos with a bit of pity.

"Nooooo! I do not wanna! I don't wanna be cute!" cried Athos, as I forcefully dressed her with the new maid dress.

Everyone loved her appearance was well… and like this, two new maids were created. There is now a new side project about making a large group of Dragon Maids.

Amongst my wives, there are already some that are a part dragon, so I will most likely add them into such a group in the future…

As I thought about such things, Goghesdum and Yerze went into my Empire and explored it a bit… they gained the attention and the glares of many citizens, especially Goghesdum who was praised tremendously for her beauty… well, walking in Maid Dresses in the streets will always catch the attention of others.

When Goghesdum and Yerze were done with their 'trip' in my Empire, I had already transformed the entire city.

By using the 'Golem Creation' Skill and pouring my Aura and Mana all across this place, I transformed every building and even the paved streets and floor into a large golem, a Living City of sorts.

I planned on putting it around the territory of my Empire, or to mold it and make it into a building.

For now, I molded it into a mass similar to plasticine, as I moved it inside of my Empire and placed it in the areas that were still not occupied. Of course, it ended as a ball of deformed buildings and other things, but it should be able to go back to its first shape if given the order.

After thinking about it for a few minutes, I decided to 'compact' the Golem City, fusing a dozen of buildings and making various towers similar to edifices on Earth, which could be more efficient to harbor people inside by taking space from above other than from below.

I managed to mold all of it in a few minutes thanks to the cooperation of the golem itself and then decided to bring in the construction team to do a lot of refinements in the buildings, to pave the streets better, and to allocate new areas across this small Golem City.

The High Lizardman was welcomed to stay in there or to move to a different house, it was their choice.

Yerze and Goghesdum, who were still not used to seeing me use my varied powers, were rather terrified and surprised by my acts.

"D-Did she…" asked Yerze.

"K-Kireina-sama just converted our whole city into a golem…" answered Goghesdum.

"Did you like what I did? It was quite inefficient for it to have so many little buildings. Have you ever considered making towers before so many people can inhabit them and also use less space?" I asked.

"No… that's because our architecture wasn't as advanced… it takes a lot of effort and knowledge to make such buildings work without them falling into the ground… but I suppose that something like that would never stop Kireina-sama…" muttered Goghesdum, seemingly in defeat.

"Kireina-sama, you're incredible! You're truly a Goddess that deserves to be worshiped!" said Yerze, with fascination in her eyes.

"Well, now that we are finally done here, let's get going… so, Goghesdum, where are the next Elder Dragon and its city?" I asked the beautiful Goghesdum as she walked out of my Inner Realm: Soul World.

"The next city should be one of the High Viper… Similarly, to High Lizardmen, they are an evolved and nurtured form of Vipers… they are being taken care of by my eldest apprentice, the Elder Dragon of Thunder Fire Odanth, if that Demon God is looking forward to parasitizing us, she must be the next target as her city is the closest to us…" said Goghesdum.
