[Chimeraʼs Holy Mother; A title bestowed upon a special and unique individual who had managed to create multiple new species of Chimera-type beings. It grants a small increase in Chimera diversification when creating one, and a small boost in the strength of those who become Chimeras by the userʼs intervention]

[Chimera Weaponization Techniques; Level 1/10; A series of techniques that utilize tamed Chimeras merged in the userʼs body to unleash powerful attacks. Each Chimera has its characteristics and powers, and need to be used with caution. Example; A Defensive Chimera cannot help the user with Offensive Techniques and vice versa]

[Current Techniques; [Chimera Merge], [Chimeric Claws]

[Chimera Merge; Use Tamed Chimeras to equip in the user body, the Chimera equipped to absorb nutrients from the userʼs body while they are equipped inside. Chimeras can be freely equipped or unequipped without any repercussions]

[Chimeric Claws; Use Offensive-type Chimeras to unleash series of powerful attacks with Claws, Scythes, Fangs or anything that can be effective enough, the power of each attack combines the user Strength stat alongside the Chimera/s used in it]

As the Title and Skill, I began to comprehend why I even got these in the first place. Iʼve made so many Chimeras with the abilities Iʼve obtained, that shouldnʼt even exist in the same user, and this is probably why such a strange Title and Skill appeared.

So, it seems that there are Chimera Tamers or Users who use them as weapons? Thatʼs interesting, however, it seems that no such individual has appeared yet, so Iʼm the first Chimera creator, hence the title of ”Chimeraʼs Holy Mother”. Its as if Iʼve given birth to them, but I donʼt feel the same attachment to them as I do with my true children…

However, I wouldnʼt like them to die or anything like that, neither I feel the necessity to eat them… Perhaps this is the effect of the Title? It makes me see these horrifying creatures as adorable pets that I want to take care of.

For now, I decided to equip all of the ten Chimeras here, to try it out, it seems that there is no limit on how many I can equip.

When Catterpillar, the last Chimera to be equipped entered my body as if it were its home, I felt a strange surge of strength. I inspected my bodyʼs inside to see where were the Chimeras, they had somehow equipped themselves to me, becoming part of my own body…

Also, they didnʼt affect my child at all, which was a relief.

My appearance didnʼt change, but the moment I thought about a Chimera, like Shiny, the four-winged golden Wyvern, four giant wyvern wings appeared on my back, replacing my butterfly wings. The musculature of them was superior to butterfly wings, and they also had an amazing sturdiness, not only did they use the power of the Chimera itself, but they also used my own stats to make these parts even stronger.

When I thought about Catterpillar, small cat ears appeared over my head and a long cat tail appeared over my butt. Alongside this, I had the power to use Catterpillarʼs Poison Attribute Magic, which seemed unique enough to not be the same as mine, and it seemed even stronger than the one I can produce.

If I thought about Orbia, the mass of tentacles with eyes, countless of sturdy octopus tentacles appeared over my hands, feet, and belly, I coupled this with my shapeshifting and the power of my Abyss body and managed to become a tentacle monstrosity. It was quite hard to move like this, so I decided to go back.

If I thought about Snailbat, a giant Snail carapace as hard as some of my armors appeared in my back, and I could also make it appear in several areas of my body instantaneously, bat wings also came with them, but Shinyʼs wings were better in that regard. If I used my armors coupled with Snailbat, they would receive a bonus in sturdiness and durability.

If I thought about Dragon Bunny, dragon horns, bunny ears, and a snake tail would appear in my body, and I would be able to breathe fire naturally. If I thought about Eldritch Goat, I grew bull-like horns, a long snake tongue and I could use Dark Arts as naturally as breathing.

In resume, each Chimeraʼs abilities were displayed as a ”power”, although some were more mediocre than others, any of them brought a boost to my power, without getting in the way of my other abilities, giving me the possibility to use them together and increase even more my damage output.

With all of the Chimera equipped, I decided to use the Technique [Chimeric Claws], over a giant rock in my way, and as I did, my hands shapeshifted into a giant mass of tentacles covered in countless claws, fangs, and scales, with a powerful force, it pulverized the rock within seconds.

If I think about each Chimeraʼs body parts, the attack would use each Chimera, at least the offensive ones, in that technique. And if I coupled it with my Alluring Martial Arts, Combos, and other techniques… Even with all of this power, the techniques are still at a low level, so I should level them up.

This technique, similar to the Sin of Lust Skills, cannot be fused. I donʼt know whatʼs is what allows the System to fuse or not Skills, but some just cannot be fused… Perhaps, they are away from my power? If I could evolve again, would I be able to fuse these Skills?

After inspecting my skills, I brought the Chimeras with me towards the Dungeon, alongside most of my family and children, and did our daily grind.

[Calculating EXP gained…]

[Kireina] gained 17.995.012.497 EXP!]

[Kireina] Level has increased!]

[LEVEL 063/250 EXP 3.809.055.430/32.700.000.000]

After the grind, we had another Aura Teaching Class, Nixephine and the human girls had leveled their Sense Skills and are slowly detecting their Aura. Nixephine, because she had lived for so long, managed to control it easier than the others. Her Aura was great and overwhelming, like a tall mountain, it also seemed to be able to envelop things with power, like a Sand Storm. Her Aura was named Sandʼs Giant Aura.

Nesiphae awakened her Aura as well, it resembled a toxic mist, but when she put more intent into it, it would transform into fiery crimson energy that flows through her body with power. It was named Venomous War Aura.

Lilith and Brontes wanted me to name some of their creations. Lilith had finished all of her armor set but needed my naming as the last touch, while Brontes created beautiful accessories for Vudia and the other children.

However, unlike the other times, after ranking up my Soul to Rank 5, I was able to easily name the equipment without receiving as much of a burden. Interestingly enough, each time a piece of my soul as engraved in an item when I named it, the item would turn slightly darker. If I engraved a lot of more Soul Energy, the piece would turn completely dark and gain purple and red undertones, resembling my own set of equipmentʼs colors.

Of course, Lilith and Brontes didnʼt like to wear these colors neither wanted the children to wear them, so I only gave them a small amount of Soul Energy, enough to be named and powered up.

Afterward, I had a nice dinner with my family as we talked about the daily lives of everyone.

[Day 197]

Today I was woken up by a yellow-colored Slime girl that was sitting over my lap. She had a similar appearance to Ailine, but her body didnʼt take on a human appearance, and its watery body was still like that, just shaped into a humanoid form.

”Gubo…!” She said as she glanced at me with her gold and green eyes.

”Gubo…? If I remember correctly… Youʼre Gabyʼs Thunder Slime Pet, right? Did you evolve?”

”Gubo!” She said, nodding in affirmation.

Suddenly, Gaby grabbed on Gubo and moved her away from me.

”Gubo, I told you that you shouldnʼt wake up anyone…! Sheesh… Iʼm sorry Master, Gubo is like a small child… It was fun when she was like a pet, but now that she grew intelligent, she messes around a lot…”

”Oh, did it evolve after receiving the Radishes?”

”Indeed! Those Enchantment Radishes did wonder, it was thanks to these that Gubo managed to evolve in the first place, she was stuck in her second evolution without being able to evolve anymore…”

”I see… It may be something related to it being an artificial life form created as a ”pet” that restricted it from becoming stronger…”

”An artifi… cial?”

”Ah! Never mind…”

Gaby also showcased others abilities when Gubo evolved, she gained the [Slime Tamer] Class, which was incredibly rare, and obtained the Skill [Slime Weaponization Techniques], similar to my own Chimeric counterpart, she can equip Gubo in her body and use it to unleash powerful new techniques, or also increase the power of her other techniques. Gubo became an official ”crew” in Gabyʼs pirate ship…

Seeing how the cute Gubo had evolved, I decided to use the Enhancement Radish left in my Item Box in Guubo and the Slime Wall, which had been recently completed, and its safely protecting the entire Grand Forest as a massive solidified wall.

After having a nice breakfast with my family and a bath, I quickly flew towards Guubo and the Slime Wall.

Guubo was currently sleeping in an area of the Grand Forest, as I approached him, he quickly woke up and talked on its usual slow voice.

”Guuuboo… Maaaaaaastaaa… Gooooooooddd… Moooorniiiiiinng….”

”Good morning Guubo, sorry to bother you, but Iʼve brought you some snacks”

”Snaaacks…?!”

Enthusiastic by the word ”snacks”, Guubo quickly stood up with a speed that shouldnʼt belong in such a big and slimy body.

”Snaacks…?! Wheeere…?”

”Here, catch it up!” I said, throwing him three Enhancement Radishes, which he devoured immediately. Afterward, I began to produce several Slimes that Iʼve assimilated before from the jewels in my forehead and chest and began to merge them with Guubo.

”Letʼs see if you can evolve with this…!”

After producing thousands of Slimes, I began to merge them one by one… and after half an hour…

”Guuuuuu!”

Flash!

Guubo was enveloped in bright light as he underwent a ”forced” evolution, something similar to Mao, thanks to my new Titles, I was able to forcefully evolve beings by merging them with others, by merging Guubo with other slimes, even if they were of the same species, it still counted.

Guuboʼs already giant body that surpassed the one hundred meters, reached new heights, becoming one hundred and sixty meters tall. Its watery body became slightly darker with several other undertones in colors. It also grew bigger demonic horns and a small demon tail, alongside that, he had a great Crown made out of several dark minerals and jewels.

”Guubo! Master, Iʼve evolved! I feel so strong!” He said, with a young-sounding voice, that of a very young boy or girl.

Guuboʼs overall strength was already overwhelming, but he lacked control over that strength and more refined techniques, now that it evolved, its intelligence became greater and it was even able to talk properly, its dark coloration seemed to be related with my Attributes.

As I checked its status, I was baffled by the big numbers.

”Impressive… it even gained a new species and all… and Calamity Beast Guardian?”

”Master, I feel so strong! And I feel a strong desire to protect everyone! Evolution is a wonderful thing!” Said Guubo, as his watery body waved around.

Guuboʼs new stats after the forced evolution increased exponentially, and his strength now resembled those of the Dungeon Bosses, but because he got better Skills, a more intelligent mind and other abilities coupled with the power of increasing in levels unlike Bosses, Guubo had surpassed all of his limits.

”Guubo, please keep protecting the citizens with all of your strength”

”I will! That is the task that Iʼve created for! Leave it to me, Master!”

He became even more cute and reliable…

Next, was the Slime Wall, I saved the Legendary Radish for it, so I expect great things.
