Oh, so he evolved.

Anyways, after hearing how most of my family simply wanted to relax, I decided to spend the day chatting and eating, for the most part, Gaia is a woman who knows many things and always had some kind of topic of conversation, revealing various things along the way.

Oh right, yesterday she seemed to have regained more of her power, granting a few Blessings around my family.

Lilith, Nixephine, Smilkas, and Valentia got their Blessings, to be specific.

It was nice for Smilkas, as she needed a nice boost. Oh, and Hydros managed to squeeze a Blessing, which she gifted to Nereid with a lot of effort…

Hydros, unlike Gaia, does not possess as much power at all, as Gaia is a former Great Goddess and all, even her fragments hold a ton of power.

However, she did her best and managed to squeeze out a Blessing from her energy, although she seemed a bit fatigued afterward… Well, nothing that drinking a bit of my blood and eating Ambrosia Fruit would cure.

Oh right, Merveim and Hodhyl are about to have a meeting with the Wyverns today after they had finally come back, so I woke up early today, took a relaxing bath, ate a few snacks, and then flew with the Wyvern Family who had recently woken up towards the skies.

"Ah, Kireina, you have grown incredibly strong since we went inside the Dungeon, your power is simply baffling… And is it I or your entire existence exudes some kind of enlightening aura?" asked the Wyvern Overlord, whose name was Shadrach.

"Ah, right… Well yeah, you guys took way too much time there… Of course, I would become something completely different at this point! Well, you have already gotten all the news from my Slime Clones that accompanied you in your travels, I ate a few Gods and all of that. Anyways, you guys also grew pretty strong, so I am counting on you participating in the next battle that is to come," I said.

"We'll make sure to put the strength we have acquired to good use. Especially now that I have evolved again, and finally, I have become a Phantasmal-Rank Living Weapon!" said the Wyvern Overlord with a happy expression, he was currently materialized on his wyvern form, which had become robust and bigger than before. He was slowly regaining the appearance he once used to have before dying.

Indeed, Shadrach evolved two times in the Dungeon, according to what he told me, and after having evolved yesterday when he finally reached max level again, he changed, going from Legendary-Rank to Phantasmal-Rank, as he was a Living Weapon that also had status and the abilities similar to his original self. He was now developing them even more and had become someone truly strong.

And because he is a weapon that originates from my Skills, he is growing especially faster… I am guessing that some Class will appear reflecting his existence after he broke through Legendary Rank into Phantasmal Rank.

His durability and power alone made him as strong as Rank 15 in the Mortal Realm, competing with many of my wives and the strongest fighters in my whole Empire.

Also, now that he is finally out of the Dungeon, I will be calling him a lot of times to use him as a weapon, I believe that something amazing could happen if I use him as a material to form Gungnir…

Aside from him, his entire family has gotten pretty strong as well, Abellona, Eshne, Titus, and the twins Aine and Adena had all evolved into what could be called 'Elder Wyverns', they are similar to the Elder Dragons such as Goghesdum, Odanth, Yvnei, and Nannet, and most likely, their next evolution will bring them to Living Deity.

Eshne and Titus in specific were the ones blessed by Hodhyl and Merveim respectively and had become special species with unique abilities and traits, thanks to the Blessings they had.

Eshne became a Grand Nature Elder Wyvern Druid Sage Overlord, with an even stronger ability to wield Nature and Life Attribute Magic, he can now, like all of his siblings, exert a clear green and golden Aura of Nature and Life. He can control plants with ease, probably making this whole Grand Forest his Domain if he desired, he also has exceptional healing abilities and was an important part of the party that explored the dungeon.

Titus became a High Black Flames Elder Wyvern Gladiator Overlord, his body was now exuding power and strong pressure. His muscles became even more packed and his black scales were as hard as armor. His physical capabilities were so impressive that I could already see Merveim crying out of pride for Titus' growth. Titus developed various physical techniques and also the ability to breathe black flames, his Aura enhanced his physical abilities even further, making him an intimidating warrior on the battlefield.

And about the other three, Abellona seemed to be taking the footsteps of his father when he was a former Wyvern Overlord, focusing on the Fire Attribute and very balanced stats, be it defense, speed, strength, and magic. He became a High Blazing Infernal Elder Wyvern Overlord.

The twin Wyverns, Aine and Adena, which were like smaller versions of Abellona, were taking on his footsteps as well, but each one focused a bit on a specific aspect. One of them was good with defenses, having a hard and almost impenetrable armor of scales, with great Defense and Resistance, alongside a big HP and Stamina Pool, while the other had high Strength, Speed, and Magic, with a high Mana Pool. One seemed to slowly be focusing on defense while the other was going for a strong speedy attacker.

Hmm, I cannot wait to see their full capabilities whenever there is an opportunity in the future. Most likely pretty soon, as the Dark Steppes is right there waiting for me to go and wreck some chaos… And most likely, Hephaestus is waiting for me to do something to attack with his family, which is not small at all… I will need a lot of forces to cover many areas, so these guys will have a lot of fun.

"Sigh…"

Eshne sighed as we flew into the sky, where a small rift could be seen a few hundreds of meters above us, it was the rift to the Divine Realm of Hodhyl, where this meeting would be done.

"What with the long face, Eshne?" I asked him.

"Ah… W-Well, this is my first time talking with a God… Especially the Goddess that blessed me, Kireina-sama!" said Eshne.

"Is that so? Haven't you realized, Eshne? Kireina-sama is like a Goddess at this point," said the Titus.

"Oh? I-Is that so…? Well, it sure feels different though!" said Eshne timidly.

"Ah, don't worry about that, Eshne! Kireina-sama said that Hodhyl-sama and Merveim-sama are very nice Gods, and are not 'god-like' in terms of personality at all!" said Abellona.

"That's right. Let's trust Kireina," said the Wyvern Overlord.

"Indeed, you will immediately tell when you met the two. Hodhyl and Merveim are just like any of us. Maybe a bit more dignified in Hodhyl's case, but as dignified as an old lady that had lived a lot would be, not as someone that sees herself above mortals," I said, reassuring the timid Eshne… He was still like twenty meters tall after evolving so much, so acting shy did not come well with his fierce appearance.

"Yeah, nii-sama, calm down!" said Aine.

"Yeah, yeah~ You're getting way too worried over nothing!" said Adena.

"I-I see… Okay then…" said Eshne as he sighed one last time and directed his gaze towards the rift above us.

After flying for a few more seconds, we finally reached the area, as I let all of them enter first and then entered myself.

A world of greenery and beautiful and refreshing forests and plains greeted us, this was Hodhyl's Divine Realm. Because she was a Goddess of the Nature Attribute, her entire Divine Realm was obviously related to Nature, making an enormous forest with a few mountains surrounding it.

Amongst the forest, there were many Wyvern-type and Reptile-type monsters roaming all around, most of them were mortal monsters, but as we explored more, there were a dozen Divine Beasts peacefully roaming the place, it seems that they were very pacific, as they did not attack us as it would sometimes happen when entering other Gods Divine Realms.

As we explored the area further, we reached a road in the middle of the large forests and jungles, an immense 'Kingdom' or Nation made entirely out of temples and buildings of ancient-looking designs.

They were mostly made out of rocks, but there were also smaller villages surrounding it which had large houses atop the trees.

"This place is so beautiful…" said Eshne.

"Indeed, it all has a magical feeling to it," said Titus.

"So this is a Divine Realm…" said Abellona.

"Amazing, I feel honored to have been invited here…" said the Wyvern Overlord.

"Hm? Who are those people?" asked Aine.

"They look like… half human and half reptile?" asked Adena.

"Oh, those are Hodhyl's demi-human children. They are a race of demi-humans born from her after she mated with certain humanoid gods or mortals, although I am mostly unclear about the whole thing, nor I want to ask her to be honest. They are called Nature Wyvernoid, similar to Dragonoid, but Wyverns. They are close to nature such as their mother," I said, as I walked with them through the city. Many of the citizens glanced at us with awe and surprise, but many of them seemed to have been already told of our visit.

"Uwah, look, mommy, a fairy! A fairy!"

"She's so beautiful…"

"Look at that enormous wyvern!"

"They're so imposing…"

"Welcome, our siblings!"

"Wyverns are our siblings, greet them properly!"

"Welcome!"

"Welcome, wyvern-sama!"

"They were all invited by Hodhyl-sama, so treat them well and don't give them weird looks!"

"O-Oh! Okay…!"

"Who is that green wyvern? He exudes the most familiarity with us!"

"He must have been blessed by Hodhyl-sama, I feel her presence within him,"

"Amazing… He's Hodhyl-sama's champion then!"

"A Hero of our race!"

"Greetings! Greetings!"

The people were very energetic, to say the least… They seemed to see in Eshne something similar to a Hero or Champion, as he was the 'closest' to them in terms of Affinity and Race, and was also blessed by Hodhyl, who they immediately managed to discern, surprisingly.

Eshne was sweating constantly due to the constant pressure of so many people over him, they all saw him as some kind of new herald of their race.

"Hah… T-Thanks, everyone…" he said, as all of the citizens cheered the moment he spoke as if they had become his fanatics.

"Damn, you got a whole city of fanatics now, Eshne!" laughed Titus.

"D-Don't make fun of this…" said Eshne.

"Don't feel ashamed, Eshne! Be proud that these people are capable of realizing your strength and admiring you!" said the Wyvern Overlord.

"Uhhh… I-I don't know about that…" said Eshne.

"Ah, we are there!" said Abellona.

As we finally reached the largest building in the middle of the city, which was shaped like an Aztec Pyramid of sorts made entirely out of stone and covered in many vines and other types of plants stuck into the old stone, we were greeted by a beautiful Nature Wyvernoid woman, her skin was pale white, her body was rather busty, and her smile very enticing.

She had clear green scales around her body here and there, covering her breasts and her lower garments with clothes made out of leather which were both sexy and mysterious.

She had wyvern feet in starting from her knees, which held hard white claws, and on her back, she had wyvern wings. Her arms seemed to also have gauntlet-like hands covered in green scales and possessing hard, white-colored claws.

She had long, emerald hair that reached her feet, made into several braids with were decorated with many flowers, and her eyes were shining brightly in gold and emerald colors. She had a few horns in her forehead and at the sides of her head, and long and sharp ears like those of elves. To end the description, she had a long and thick tail that waved around excitedly as she glanced at us with a gentle and motherly smile.

"Welcome to my Divine Realm, everyone, I am very happy to meet you all," she said… suddenly, I realized that she was lightly suppressing some power from within her, which was Divine.

Oh, this was Hodhyl.
