[Day 265]

[Kireina] gained +890 Skill Points and Subclass Skill Points due to the prayers of your believers!] (Added!)

[Kireina] gained +2.800 Dungeon Points due to the combined energy gathered by your Dungeons!]

[Kireina] gained 750.549.693.985.900 EXP due to the prayers of your believers!]

[Level: 118/250] [EXP: 1.655.641.844.450.721/1.920.000.000.000.000] (Added!)

Is it my idea or am I leveling faster now? Tomorrow I am leveling up again…

The rate of Experience Gained per day through belief and prayers had been increasing steadily every day, it seems that all of the tribes I brought to my Empire from Nyzzet had become already useful. In this way, as long as I keep adding more believers and population, the rate of my power increasing will skyrocket… what if I end up having the whole Realm praying towards me? Maybe I might get enough Experience Points to reach max level in a flash.

And what if I conquer the whole Genesis? I am beginning to see why the Supremes are so strong not only because of their power alone but because they pray upon by billions of people across mostly all Realms… Imagine the amount of power they amass every day, it is insane.

Or maybe they do not?

What if what I get is different than them? What if they do not get as much power because they do not possess the same Skills as me?

After all, this power I acquire through prayers and beliefs not only comes from the people but also because of the [Worshiped Heavenly Aberration Goddess] Skill, which has evolved already a few times since I acquired it, by the time I ate Megusan that this whole ordeal began.

Glancing at the Skill, I decided to see its description again to remind me of its effects.

[Worshiped Heavenly Aberration Goddess; Level 4/10]

A Unique Skill Granted to an entity that has both reached false godhood while being an Aberration within the laws of the world and creation, considered and worshiped as a Goddess by its believers.

This Skill makes anyone fascinated with the user become a fanatic religious worshiper, while also converting the user's gained primordial energies from both Believers and Other Means into Skill Points and Experience Points.

The conversion rate is calculated by n% = W.

I have always wondered what the heck is the 'n% = W' thing, I see that it is the 'calculation' of the conversion rate, but what the heck does it even mean? Ah, I was never good at math back on Earth. Maybe this is some kind of specific term used by scientists…

Hm, I must be a disgrace for actual scientists, seeing how I have the Divine Science and Alchemy Subclass Field, but I do not know about actual scientific terms.

Dungeon Points are acquired differently than through this Skill, I believe I begin to 'get it' into my own Status through the [Divine Dungeon Body Entity] Skill… And it is also slowly increasing, it seems that it might be related to my worship or something then.

Perhaps both effects have fused together? Well, better for me then.

Talking about the Dungeon, me, in this case, I wanted to check out my new Inner Realm, so while my wives slept and it was still quite early in the morning, I seeped my consciousness into this Inner Realm to glance at it.

Yep, as chaotic as ever.

The only things I could see were dungeon and labyrinth structures one after another stuck together, from above and from below, from all places. It seemed that gravity worked strange in this Realm, it was simply filled with these dungeons. I wonder if they have Dungeon Cores or are those 'Natural Dungeons' that appear through Mana Contamination and don't have a Dungeon Core.

I create several Divine Aura Clones and begin to explore the whole place. But it is very hard, as the structure of this world is a complete mess, even with my Automatic Mapping Skill, it is very hard to reach anywhere because everywhere is anywhere.

There does not seem to be any sun or anything, or any sky either, it is just Dungeons and more dungeons, there are mostly the old-fashioned dungeons made out of countless bricks and eerie entrances, but as I look around more, I find some larger ones with entire biomes inside, and there they are artificial suns, and moons, and skies too.

I remember the Gods saying something about me being capable of creating an endless world as long as I can keep creating dungeons inside my Inner Realms, as the biomes inside could expand the actual size of dungeons to almost absurd levels. I believe that this Inner Realm is not as big as the Dream World, but it might be bigger than any other Inner Realm… or maybe just endless?

As I keep looking around, I find more and more monsters roaming the place, from all kinds of monsters, several of them resemble various of the ones that appear in my Dungeon, there are even Dungeon Bosses, but killing them does not bring me any Experience Points to me, for some reason. Also, there is no loot either… Then what use is this place for?!

Oh, maybe the monster corpses, I guess? They are physical, they can still be precious materials… As if I could not simply summon Dragons at this point!

Well, it might be useful for my family, and the rest of my citizens. But this place is way too dangerous though! People would get lost very easily, even my family would get lost without my guidance… Well, I believe that I might be able to bring them out at any time if I use my Spatial Attribute Magic.

Welp, this just adds yet another inhabitable Inner Realm to the pile that I got, I might open some portals into there and let experienced Adventurer Parties get in with a personal Divine Aura Clone as their guider, alongside a few Slime Clones to secure their safety so they do not get lost.

If I can confirm that they can acquire Experience Points and Items, then it might be a good thing.

Ah, I have to tell all of this to the Gods and my wives in more detail today, alright, time to wake up! Ah, where are my babies? I want to hug them-

BOOM!

As I was about to wake up, the door of my room opens as my wives wake up in a dazzle.

"Mama!"

"Mommy, I'm hungry!"

"Mama, breakfast time! Breakfast time!"

"I want breakfast!"

Vudia, Ailine, Belle, Nirah, and many more of my cute babies appear, as they jump over the bed asking for breakfast… Haah, this is nice.

"Uwah… What hour is it?" asked Nereid at my side, while cleaning her eyes from the sleepiness.

"Around ten in the morning, so it's a good hour to wake up," I said.

"Sigh…" sighed Nereid, she is a sleepy and lazy girl, so she often sleeps a lot.

"Time for breakfast?" asked Kjata with a mild smile… She is just as cute as my daughter's…

"Nice, I am hungry, guu~," said Rimuru as she jumped out of the bed while hugging our daughter and the rest of the girls.

"Auntie Rimuru, make breakfast!" said Nirah.

"Make pancakes! I want pancakes!" said Vudia.

"Donuts, donuts!" said Ailine.

"I am fine with anything, but I would appreciate a pie, perhaps," said Belle.

"GAAOO!" said Marduk, I think he also wanted breakfast made by Rimuru.

"Wan, wan!" said Nammu, the tiny wolf pup heads over the tip of her tentacles barked adorably.

"Gishi…" said Nanshe with an adorable look in her eyes, she was being cute so we could do her bidding… This little girl had developed this conduct recently.

The harpy chicks also showed up flying everywhere, filling the ambiance with life and harmony, and a bit of chaos.

"I want fruit, mommy, mommy!" said Ocypyne.

"Milk! Milk!" said Caellaeno.

"Milk… I want milk!" said Nyphenne.

"Meat, I'm hungry for meat!" said Dereo.

"Chirp, chirp! Milk!" said Solyth.

"Mommy, I want to drink blood!" said Uryphe.

"Mommy look! I learned some crazy magic, chirp!" said Nepharia, as a sudden burst of sand appeared around her like a beautiful and shiny tornado, every particle of sand shined like bright light as it danced to her feather movements.

"Ooh~ How amazing, my little girl, well-done ~," I said, petting Nepharia's silky hair.

"She's learning way too fast how to use magic and all… Ah well, they already fought multiple Divine Beasts, so I guess it is obvious that their development is crazy by this point…" said Nephiana.

"Uwah, I want little harpy chicks too… I may lay my eggs in a few days from now on…" said Ocypete with a blush.

"Eh? That fast, Ocypete?!" I asked.

"Y-Yes, Master… Aren't you… h-happy? I am very happy to bear master's offspring," said Ocypete.

"I am, well, of course, I am, I guess it will be like Nephiana's case…" I said.

"Hehe, I hope all the chicks will be happy with even more joining in~," said Ocypete adorably. She and Nephiana were both Harpies and resembled each other a bit, it felt as if they were sisters, although not exactly twins… like the Centaur Twins.

"Talking about children, I believe I might give birth in a few days…. Yup, look, it's beginning to bulge," said Lilith at my side, startling me.

"Huh?! Really, Lilith?" I asked.

"Yep," she said, caressing her chocolate-skinned belly as it had bulged around three centimeters in two days, I often do not notice because she is packed with muscles and often wears armor all the time because she enters the dungeon at daily intervals.

Uwah… another of my babies is about to come, I cannot wait…

I approached her belly as I rested my ears into her belly, Lilith took this opportunity to caress my hair and touch my long ears.

"L-Lilith, you like to touch my ears, huh?" I asked.

"Hehe, they're very cute…" said Lilith.

I listened to the beating of the heart of our child through her belly, it seemed to be only one, the child itself also released a strong Aura, which seemed to contain a lot of Divine Energy within… I began to think how she could bear a child with Divine Energy within without her… well, experiencing difficulties. Divine Energy is supposed to be highly unstable within the bodies of mortals, to the point that it can even destroy them from the inside, perhaps our children have a special type of body that harbors all of this power without letting it leak into the mother's body, or perhaps the mother herself develops a natural resistance?

Well, Lilith is way more than a mortal at this point, so this might be a possibility.

"I wonder what will it be? Will it be Chaos Human?" wondered Lilith.

"Most likely, perhaps of a similar race than you, although, just as many of the children, there are some cases where mutations occur that do not reflect in our appearances, such as Marduk, Nammu, and Nanshe, I suspect that it is most likely due to Kireina-sama's bloodline that encompasses various bloodlines," said Charlotte as she put her glasses back. She did not need to wear glasses anymore, but she still wore them for aesthetic purposes, I believe.

"Is that so?" asked Lilith.

"Yeah… It is part of my crazy bloodline. Well, the child will be born with most of both of our features, while also having the possibility of developing something new. It is a bit of roulette," I said.

"Ah, that's great, I hope it is born with strong new features… Things that I've always wanted to have such as more arms… Oh! Or another tail? Perhaps armor-like scales… maybe it will grow into a giant!" said Lilith.

"Depends, you're still rather small due to your half-dwarf bloodline still affecting your height… fufu" laughed Charlotte.

"Hey, my child will be big!" said Lilith.

"Let's not think about these things, however, it is born, we'll take good care of it," I said.

"Yeah!" said Lilith with a smile.

"My own child should also be about to be born very soon… Don't you remember, Kireina-sama? Both I and Lilith were impregnated in the same night~ Fufu, I still remember that night in the forest-" said Charlotte as I stopped her from speaking, children were present after all.

"Let's not… recall those things until night, shall we? Let's go have breakfast?" I said with a bitter smile.

"Fufu, okay," said Charlotte.

"Be more mindful!" said Lilith.

"Oh, well, you're a muscle head so what would you know about being mindful?" asked Charlotte teasingly.

"Hey! I am not a muscle… head, what the heck is that anyway?" asked Lilith.

"It means that we are strong, duh," said Oga.

"Is that so?" asked Lilith.

I really did not want to tell her the truth of what it meant, so I kept silent about this…
