Just before getting the bonuses from eating the Four Graces, my other body had already eaten Hephaestus and his wives, so I leveled a bunch, and then leveled again by the accumulated Experience Points…

And then, I joined my children and defeated the three Demigods that were left, the children of Hephaestus and Kabeiro, getting even more levels out of it.

With that, I finally crossed the Level 200 gap!

With those guys out of the way, I literally just ate an entire family of Gods, oops.

My bad, I really did not intend to do that!

I am actually quite a good person, but they really got into my nerves, I swear!

They literally came to my home and began blasting things off, how wouldn't I get angry over it?

Ah well, I am a bit calm now, although my other True Body Clone has sealed itself from my main soul and it is currently… eating a Fragment of the Origin Core.

Yeah, I wanted to just do that, so I did.

But since I sealed that part, this part of my mind, the one at the Empire, cannot get to see nor experience what that part of my soul is experiencing, which is a bit worrying.

But if things come to the worst, I will just cut down that piece before anything bad happens to me.

Yeah, the whole Origin Core ordeal was really something, I really hope I am capable of eating it.

And it seems that I am because I am feeling a lot stronger.

No wait, I mean, not including all these delicious Gods I just ate.

But there is another power aside from theirs, which is boosting my power little by little.

The entire power of this thing is massive so that sealed part of me is slowly converting it into my power.

I believe that if I manage to eat it entirely, I might get so much power that…

Well, I do not really have any idea what I will become.

However, it is not like I am going to sit in here and wait.

Honestly, I actually want to just hug my family and allies, a lot of things had gone by.

Everything was pretty crazy, with too many things going on at the same time…

But it seems that things finally calmed down.

Kiroid helped the Gods deal with the Demon Gods, and they ate around six Demon Demigods, the two Gods that accompanied these Demigods ran away after that.

Yeah, Demigods are no problem for us now, they are just foddered at this point.

The amount of power I have amassed by eating all these Gods was amazing, it was such a nice buffet, thanks a lot, Hephaestus!

I finally decide to end the fusion with my wives, as we are brought to our normal forms, our mechs disappearing into the accessories where they originated.

I finally met with the rest of my family as I extend my tentacles of flesh and hug them all.

"I am glad everyone is okay… I am sorry for having taken so long…" I said.

"Yeah, it took a lot of time to kill four gods…!" said Gaby.

"We somehow did it though, and now I feel like I can eat a bunch more!" said Oga.

"Belle, how are you?" asked Adelle.

"I'm good, mother, although at some point I almost died… Hehe… But my siblings helped for that to not happen!" said Belle.

"Eh?! W-Well… Thank goodness…" sighed Adelle as she hugged Belle, I joined in the hug too.

"Mama! It was very hard, but I did my best!" said Nirah, jumping into me and entangling my body with her tail, I kissed her forehead and petted her silky hair.

"Well done my dear, you did very well," I said.

"It was very… scary…" cried Nirah, as she broke out her cheerful personality as she began to weep in my chest…

It hurt.

It hurt a lot.

Because of my powerlessness, I had to leave my children on their own.

Thankfully, they were strong and reliable, but the little ones like Nirah are yet to get enough strength to be completely reliable…

I kissed her as I began to cry as well.

"I am sorry… I will make sure to never leave you alone like this… I… I promise you," I said.

"Really?" asked Nirah with innocent and teary eyes.

"Of course. I said I promised this to you, right?" I said.

"Mommyyy!"

"Mamaaaa…!"

Vudia and Ailine quickly came to my side, alongside Rimuru and Brontes, and all the little girls began to weep except Belle, who seemed like the most mature.

Although according to Ryo, everyone was strong enough to not have difficulties, they might have gone through hardships and a few frightening moments, that's enough to impact their little and innocent hearts, which hurt me a lot too.

"Chirp, chirp!"

The Harpy Siblings quickly came right afterward, embracing me and Nephiana.

Nephiana began to cry with them as well, she also had a lot of scary moments, fighting is not really something we enjoy, but it's something we do to survive.

Without realizing it, everyone was actually crying…

Yeah… Even the wolves, the wyverns, the monkeys, the slime family, the chimeras, even Wall and Guubo, which I did not think could even cry!

Goddamn it, what a bunch of crybabies.

I am sure that anyone seeing this would think of us as pathetic.

But we are just people after all, although very twisted by the many circumstances of our life.

Although some might enjoy fighting, it's not like we like to risk our lives…

No one here wants to die.

We all have families here, the Wyvern Overlord embraced his children, Truhan and Celica hugged each other, the Wolves with their pups, the monkeys with their children, literally everyone has a family.

Of course, we do not want to die, damn it.

Embraced by my little children, I cried a lot too.

Although I cannot express emotions sometimes, I do feel them!

And I also had a lot of fear.

So much fear of dying.

I did not want to die at all.

If I were to die, what would had been of my family, of my children, of my wives, of my friends?

I would have disappeared, and they too would have died…

If by sacrificing my life I could make sure that they could live without problems, I really would give away my life.

But such thought is very childish, there is not such a thing nor such an opportunity.

So only by maintaining myself alive and growing stronger is how I can keep them alive at my side.

Amongst all of this fear of dying is that I crawled and roared like a beast.

This is how I perhaps got so strong as well…

I am just very scared of dying, I really do not want to die at all.

I become a monstrous beast and tear away the lives of others so I and my beloved ones that survive and thrive.

Maybe many would think of me as selfish and a horrible person, but as long as those I love keep loving me and are at my side, I wouldn't care less.

If the world becomes my enemy, then I will defeat the entire world and make it my domain, so we can finally live in peace.

And this rage that is growing from my heart.

I cannot contain it anymore.

Thanatos…

You are next.

I am going to eat this bastard alive.

And his entire Pantheon.

I do not care anymore.

All of them can beg for their life, I will crush their heads into the ground and tear them apart into pieces.

I am going to eat them all.

No one will be forgiven.

Death is the only thing they can expect now.
