After defeating the large group of Divine Beasts through my inventive way of fighting, I finally gave a glance to the System windows.

It seemed like devouring Divine Beasts could give me a part of their Divinity, even if Divine Beasts were not considered to be gods, their sols and bodies were still of Divine properties, enough for them to count as a Divinity Fragment of sorts.

Alongside the acquisition of such fragments, I acquired a large number of Experience Points, enough to level up four times! Though there are still over one hundred levels to go… But as long as I keep killing Divine beings, it should not take so long… right?

And by eating the Zombie Dragon Divine Beasts came various Skills with them, a few of them were assimilated but many of them remained… although some seemed to need Divine Energy to be used, which I lacked innately, but could acquire by receiving it from my children.

I could also use my Divine Aura to work similarly as Divine Energy, but its effects and the power of the skills or techniques used with it did not seem to be as strong as the original wielders… of course, because I can use various of such attacks all the same time, it becomes stronger.

There were still more than a dozen corpses left of the Divine Beasts, which I planned to eat alongside my children… However, those that did not possess Divinity Devouring seemed to be incapable of eating it.

My children had acquired small divinity fragments similar to the ones I acquired by eating the souls of the Divine Beasts and part of their flesh… there were some such as Valentia that ate various Divine Beasts by themselves, gaining new powers.

Valentia in specific, because she was a Dracoshark, eating these Dragon Divine Beasts seemed to strengthen her, so I decided to give more of these to her if she needed them.

Using the Divine Beasts as materials? Well, that could be an option, but seeing how they were of a 'low quality', I do not think they would sell at all in the Interdimensional Merchant Shop.

Due to not feeling the presence of those two strange gods that had appeared in the dungeon, I decided to settle down in the Siren Nation for the day… If these gods are running away from me, they most likely fear a confrontation… But what do they want then?

Do they want Begudhur? It would be problematic if he suddenly gained allies… I will have to communicate with God's Pantheon about this, and most likely bring more of my servants from my Empire.

But before that came a fine and well-deserved rest, a feast, and also a few explanations and introductions to Yvnei and her people.

"I see, so that's how it is- WHAT?! Goghesdum-sama and Odanth-sama became Kireina-sama's servant?! A-And her maids at that? Such lewd outfits… I should have guessed… Is Goddess Kireina biased by such degeneracy? A-Ah! I apologize if I sounded rude, I didn't mean to…" said Yvnei, sitting in her humanoid form in the middle of the large palace that she had, there were many of my Arachne Maids going around while distributing food, mostly Thunder Dragon meat leftover from our previous fights, which was still fresh and delicious. There were also High Siren women, of over three meters tall who seemed to be beautiful servants of Yvnei, who served their own food as well.

"Biased? No, I am just charmed by Maid outfits… and now that you're joining the group, Yvnei, you'll be getting your own outfit too," I said, I was dead set on making her a maid… well, I am quite degenerate, yeah.

"Ueehh?! Me?!" asked Yvnei.

Goghesdum sighed as she averted her gaze from Yvnei, while Odanth glanced at Yvnei with a drooling expression… she just wanted this as well.

"G-Goghesdum-sama, do something! I cannot simply-"

"And done!" I said as I had already taken on the measures of the large Yvnei who had a physique resembling those of Siren, but way bigger in her humanoid form, she resembled a super version of Nephiana in a way…

Her outfit was the largest I have ever created for a humanoid yet, but perhaps I will be making bigger ones for Nesiphae or Nixephine shortly.

Her Maid outfit was more classical than the other two, and less revealing, as Yvnei had a more innocent and adorable charm coupled with her clumsiness, which went perfect with a classical maid outfit with a long skirt and cute decorations that covered her breasts.

"D-Do I really have to wear it…?" she asked.

"Well, I saved you and your citizens… Isn't it the least you could do?" I asked, using the favors I did to convince her.

"Eeeeh…? B-But… Well, I-I guess…" she muttered, taking on the outfit and moving to a different room to try it out.

Success!

"Masta, I think you're being quite aggressive with this maid thing… But I like it, gu!" said Rimuru.

"I see, so you're also being influenced by the charm of Dragon Maids, good, good," I said.

When Yvnei came back, she looked quite dazzling, the long maid dress that covered most of her areas that would bring attention were tightly into her skin, making it cuter and at the same time a bit sexier too.

"N-Now that we have this out of the way… can I get a few explanations of what those monsters were exactly and what is just happening?" she asked.

"Well, yes. Long story short, we came here to unify the Nations made by the Elder Dragon at first, while exploring too because Nyzzet, the owner of this dungeon, gifted it to me-"

"Huh? Kireina-sama you didn't talk about that before!" said Goghesdum.

"Well, now I do. So, listen well. It seems that this idiot of a god never knew that an evil Demon God that did a lot of havoc in the past was sealed in here by other Gods and Mortal Heroes… So, when we entered, it was clearly a surprise to us as well. And because this Demon God seems to grow through parasitizing other beings, it decided to be a good idea to parasitize the Elder Dragons, you three and the other one that we have not met yet… So, he sent a ton of monster to your nations, and that is where we came, we saved your little Nations from that evil villain! Aren't we such nice people?" I asked.

"Errr… I guess?! That is a lot of info-dumping in a few sentences, goddess-sama! But I kind of get it… Kind of…" said Yvnei.

"Kireina-sama had already moved our people and even our entire cities to her Empire, we even went to explore it beforehand and… it is really the city of gods, it is a place so advanced that even your Sirens with their magic technology will be left on disbelief," said Goghesdum with a warm smile, after all, she was trying to convince Yvnei through warm words as her 'mommy'.

"That is right, her Empire is filled with so many different races and people, it is impressive how everyone just lives together in such harmony! All of them seem to work together for the same cause, there is a lot of respect between citizens as well… Oh! And the industry of the Dark Moon Empire has diversified so much that you will not even believe it! There are these fun fantasy books named Light Novels, other drawings made into series named 'Manga', there are also various 'Board Games', and the food is delicious! Also, each house is filled with Magic Gadgets that make the life of every citizen even easier!" said Odanth, going into detail about the immense amount of entertainment that my Empire had developed.

"I-Is that so…? Well, if Goghesdum-sama and Odanth-sama like Kireina-sama Empire… I suppose it should be the right thing to do in such a situation… I have been considering unifying the nations for some time. But due to the original plan of using the faith of the people to have a nice start whenever we ascend to godhood, I suppose I had paused such a thing… It is nice to know that we are finally doing it! Though I never expected it to happen in another Empire, if it's from such a well… benevolent goddess such as Kireina-sama, it's fine!" said Yvnei with an adorable smile on her youthful face, her emerald and shin eyes were sincerely happy.

"Yvnei… I never knew that you had intended to do such a thing before… Was I too deep into my delusions of becoming a goddess, that I even clouded my mind of such possibilities?" asked Goghesdum.

"Yeah, you're too obsessed in that god thing… I considered it a few times, but I thought that you wouldn't like to do that," said Odanth.

"Now that I think about it… It does make sense to unify the Nations, even in the sense of becoming gods, whenever that was to happen, we would be given the faith of more than those we nourished… Hm, is suppose I was being quite greedy by keeping the High Lizardmen only for myself, while not realizing the benefits of unifying everyone," said Goghesdum.

"I am glad that you finally understood my feelings, Goghesdum-sama- no, mother!" said Yvnei, adorably flying towards Goghesdum and hugging her with her colorful and fluffy wings.

"I love you mommy!" she said.

"W-What are you talking about?! I-I am not your mother, Yvnei! Sigh…"

"This is quite cute," I said, remembering my children by seeing such a scene.

"Yeah," said Odanth.

"You too, big sis Odanth!" said Yvnei, leaping towards Odanth and showing her affection.

"W-Wait, is this non-sexual affection? I-Its weird!" said Odanth, as she was entangled by Yvnei's green-scaled snake tail that came out from atop her butt.

"Fufu, it seems that they're a very unified family at the end, gu!" said Rimuru at my side.

After the feast, and celebrations Yvnei told her people about the current situations and their immigration to my Empire, which would be occurring tomorrow in the morning… the people seemed incredibly happy about it, for some reason.
