When I woke up, I found three gifts inside of my Item Box, packed by Agatheina herself, they were even decorated with hearts and blood.

The three gifts had Elixir Flasks inside, each one having a distinct color, the bright gold one was one made with Morpheusʼs Life Attribute Divinity Soul Fragment, while the other two were from Gods I did not expect, the cola-like Elixir was made out of the Divinity Soul Fragment of the Wyvern God of Strength that blessed Titus and the green dew-like Elixir was made out of the Divinity Soul Fragment of the Wyvern Goddess of Nature, who blessed Eshne.

As I read the message left by Agatheina, I finally got to know what just happened… These two Wyvern Gods escaped from the main Dragon Pantheon, which served the Central Continent Pantheons and the Supreme Gods, because they had blessed Titus and Eshne, who were my allies, and they feared that they would be persecuted and killed because they were backing the allies of the enemy of the central continent Pantheons.

Well, since I became a Realm Menace, I had already assumed that I would become the enemy of the Central Continents, but I never expected that it happened so fast.

I guess its natural by seeing how many things I have done now that I think about it. And when I recall some of the things I have heard from within Apolloʼs soul, I can understand some things more clearly.

Though it seems that the gods seem separated, there is a larger faction that wants to just let their mortal champions and heroes deal with me as time goes by, and others just want to take revenge on me, like Zeus, Athena, or Apollo.

I thought about using the Elixirs as materials for food, but I recalled that it may be dangerous for anyone to drink them because Divine Energy is dangerous to mortals bodies, I am the only one who can eat it without much trouble due to my ʼDivinity Devouringʼ Skill at a high level.

I decided to have it for breakfast with the rest of my family, Vudia and Ailine sat down in my lap as always and were curious about what I was drinking while eating pastries and sandwiches.

”Mommy is that a new Soda?!” asked Vudia, as she tried to grab on the Elixir flask.

”No, my love, it is Divine Energy in high quantities, if you drink it your tummy will hurt a lot, only mommy can drink it safely,” I said.

”Oh, I see… Can I taste it then?” she asked.

”Vudia, did you heard what I just said…?”

”How about me, can I drink some?” asked Ailine.

”No, my baby, you canʼt drink it either”

”Hmm…”

Ailine glanced at the Elixirs with her eyebrows crossed, she disliked how there was something she wasnʼt able to digest.

”Masta… It should be better if you drank them all, the girls would get angrier” said Rimuru.

”I guess youʼre right, I just liked to savor the flavors”

”Geez! We all want to taste some Divine Energy as well…” said Gaby.

”Well, as long as Kireina gets stronger by drinking it, I donʼt see anything bad with it,” said Nesiphae.

”Yeah! But still… I kind of want to taste it, she just keeps saying how good it is!” said Gaby, while drinking some fruit juice.

”Well, it is the dew of the gods, only those as strong as our wife can taste such delicacies, sadly,” said Adelle, as she drank some tea.

”Talking about other things, is it finally time for our evolution?!” said Sofarpia.

”Sigh… I donʼt really like to pressure Kireina-sama, but we really want to evolve and catch up a little” said Sofelaia.

”I get how you two feels, I do also want to strengthen myself, though I do look devilish, I lack the strength that goes along with it!” said Acelina.

”Youʼre really into that devilish thing, Acelina-chan” muttered Ismena.

”Yeah, itʼs bothering me for a while already,” said Oga.

”How about we compete once again, Oga?! Since I evolved, we havenʼt tried our exercise competence, we should see whoʼs stronger now!” said Acelina, inciting Ogaʼs competitive nature.

”Hoh?! Quite daring, arenʼt you!” shouted Oga, her body releasing hot steam around the room.

”Oga, although your steam does not damage, it is very annoying. Look! You covered all of my food with it. What are you going to do about it? I hope you take responsibility!” yelled Adelle.

”Ah! S-Sorry… I should calm myself; we are having breakfast after all”

”Oh? Is Oga being mindful? Thatʼs rare~” muttered Acelina, while sipping some tea.

”Youʼre getting in my nerves, Acelina! Iʼm going to crush you in that competence, youʼll see!”

”Heh, bold words for someone who is about to lose!” proclaimed Acelina, releasing a teasing laugh.

”Ugh, you two… Also, Sofarpia, Sofelaia, didnʼt you evolve just recently?” asked Lilith, who was eating yogurt with fruits.

The Centaur twins wore blushes over their faces as they muttered some words.

”Ah… that is true…”

”Well, didnʼt you as well, Lilith-sama?”

”W-Well, yeah, I guess we all just evolved recently, but want to catch up with the big girls like Rimuru or Brontes!” said Lilith.

”Ah, talking about evolution, how have your family been, Lilith?” I asked.

”Ah, Kireina… Well, since they evolved into Dryad-type, Fairy-type, and Elf-type Chaos Humans, they have become incredibly good at blessing the plants… but because of their powerful awakened skills, the plants end up mutating due to the high quantities of Mana, and the entire crops are now Monster Plants. They are obedient though, and produce even richer fruits and veggies” said Lilith, proud of her family of former farmers, even after becoming Chaos Humans, they became even better with the handle of plants… and also gained a lot of strength.

”Oh, so the Dryads have a lot to compete with!” said Nesiphae.

”Yeah, the Dryads are being taught by my family. Kireinaʼs Slime Clones that are capable of producing fruits are also helping them. most of them were used to create poisonous fruits, so it will take them some time to learn how to properly make edible plants for the rest of the population” said Lilith.

”Ah, I heard from Evan-kun that the Tentacle Dryads are very lustful! His friend got attacked by a group last night” said Amiphossia.

”A-Attacked? They shouldnʼt attack civilians! I will have to teach them so manners” I said.

”No, wait! Let me finish, mom. Evan also said that his friend enjoyed it, it seems that they only attack men that are ʼneedyʼ…” said Amiphossia.

”Needy…? Perhaps I should put them in brothels instead” I said.

”Theyʼre not good at making fruits, their nectar is sweet, and itʼs a good lubricant, but thatʼs it... I guess they are stronger than the other Dryads regarding physical fighting,” said Lilith.

”There is a lot of Dryad Empresses now, the Dryad Queen is having some trouble, and itʼs losing the little authority she had over her children, fufu,” said Nesiphae, recalling the several Dryad Empresses from each subspecies, who were fairly stronger compared to the Dryad Queen from the Grand Forest.

”Oh, Nesi, you still recall when she made me create that alliance? But she never showed up for anything… she was very scummy. I was rather foolish back then; I have to admit it” I said… recalling my butterfly days.

”Yes, I wanted to punish her a bit when she showed up here after so long… but well, sheʼs having a lot of trouble by now,” said Nesiphae.

”Ah! I remember her!” shouted Rimuru, she had completely forgotten who this was ʼDryad Queenʼ.

”I suppose she was too unimportant for us to recall; I donʼt think Wagyu even remembers her either,” I said.

”She will have to become even more humble, a commoner within the Dryads. If the other Empresses keep pressuring her with their better leadership, that might be what she becomes,” said Lilith.

”A Queen becoming a commoner, she was always so high and mighty, I suppose it is fitting,” said Nesiphae.

”Uwah, mommy youʼre so devilish!” said Amiphossia.

”I wonder if the Wyvern God of Nature would bless some of the Dryad Empresses, they seem to be promising if they work together… I could even fuse them with Synthesis, but I donʼt think they would like that” I said.

”Yeah, it is nice to have some new allies within the Gods, whenever Titus and Eshne come back with their family and the spirits, we should let them know that their gods have joined Morpheus,” said Zehe.

”Iʼm quite surprised that Morpheus-sama gave away a large piece of his soul just like that…” muttered Sofarpia.

”Well, thatʼs Morpheus-sama for you! It means that he really appreciates us, and what Kireina had done to help us and protect us! She even goes out of her way to rescue the Centaur inside his dungeon and add them as citizens with houses and all! Kireina-sama is really deserving of the gratitude and praise of the gods after all” said Sofelaia.

”Well, I made them join because more citizens mean more labor, and also more money and resources generated outside of my Summoning, so itʼs beneficial in every way for me. Through the System, we can also strengthen ourselves as the population grows. I donʼt want to say that I am not thoughtful either, I considered that Morpheus would appreciate it if I were to bring them to my Empire” I said while drinking on the cola-like Elixir.

”I see… Kireina-sama youʼre always thinking in some many things at the same time… is your ability to generate more minds?” asked Sofelaia.

”Well, yes”

”Oh, so thatʼs it! I guess thatʼs why sheʼs always doing so many things at the same time” said Sofarpia.

”I wonder if I could learn to do such a thing…” said Kaguya.

”Well, Kaguya youʼre more inclined into Fire Attribute Magic, and recently youʼve learned how to control Fire Attribute Ghosts and Wisps” analyzed Zehe.

”Hm, should I take some classes with Amiphossia-chan? Would you be willing to teach me Phantasmal Magic?” asked Kaguya, a little bit nervous.

”Ah, of course, aunt Kaguya! You donʼt need to ask me” said Amiphossia, welcome Kaguya into her party, temporarily.

”Uwah~ Joining Amiphossia-chan party! I feel a little bit excited” said Kaguya, she was developing her relationships more freely by now. She was always quite shy with anyone but me, but everyone in the family does not mind developing bonds with her, she just needed to approach them.

”To be honest, Kaguya, your ʼFeral Formʼ transformation Skill is amazing… and I have Fire Attribute affinity just as you, I was wondering if you could teach me how to fight wilder like you do when you transform?” asked Oga, she was a strong fist-fighter, but lacked that ʼwildnessʼ that Kaguya showcased in her ʼFeral Formʼ.

”Ah! Of course, Oga-san, I also have a lot to learn from you, like your Martial Arts that use Fire Attribute Magic or your Aura” said Kaguya.

”Well, I should also teach Kireina more Telekinesis manipulation,” said Nanako.

”Ah, thatʼs true, we have some scheduled classes for that, donʼt we?” I completely forgot about it.

But now that I remember, I really want to develop the Telekinesis Skill that I obtained after eating one of the Vampires that invaded the Cilane Centaur Kingdom.

”Oh? Nanako-san is teaching Kireina? I also want to teach her some things!” said Nephiana.

”But Nephiana, what will you teach her?” asked Charlotte.

”I… I can teach her Wind Magic!” she said.

”Well, actually, it wouldnʼt be so bad to learn from you. I have the same blessing as you, so I could develop your Wind Attribute Spells and the techniques you use” I said.

”But Nephiana, you spend a lot of the days with Kireina! And you never let her go with your talons around her belly, youʼre constantly snuggling with her!” protested Nixephine.

”Heh” laughed Nephiana.

”Youʼre not even going to apologize, your little birdie!” shouted Nixephine.

”Well, we can spend the day all together as well, no need to fight about it, okay?” I said, calming down Nixephine.

”Okay…” muttered Nixephine, as I patted her head with a slime tentacle, she has a very silky hair.

”Anyways, when are we starting the evolutions?” asked Sofelaia.

”Sigh… but letʼs take a bath first!” I said as we all moved to the baths and the Arachne Maids began to clean the table.

”Bath time!” shouted Vudia, throwing away her dress and entering the bathroom while sitting over Brontesʼs shoulders.

”Mommy, wash my hair today as well!” said Ailine.

”I also want to try mommyʼs shampoo,” said Amiphossia.

”Is it nice? My hair is always so hard, like steel!” shouted Valentia.

”I think thatʼs natural because of your Earth Attribute affinity, big sister,” said Aarae.

”Big brother, would you wash my hair?” asked Yiksukesh, glancing at Ryo, who was holding her on his large arms.

”Iʼm not your big brother… Sigh, okay” muttered Ryo, the two had been becoming good siblings.

”Eeh? Yiksukesh-chan is getting her hair washed by big brother? I also want to!” said Vudia.

”But Vudia, I was going to wash you today,” said Brontes.

”Muh…” muttered Vudia.

”Oh my~ My son is quite popular with his sisters,” said Zehe.

”I wonder if Ryo-kun is a siscon” muttered Adelle.

”GEH…! A-Aunt, why do you say something like that…?!” shouted Ryo.

”Adelle, donʼt be rude with Ryo-kun!” shouted Gaby.

”Ah, well, sorry” apologized Adelle.

”No, no, continue. My son is the cutest when he is teased~” said Zehe.

”Mom!!!” shouted Ryo.

Ah well, it was an eventful morning, just like always.
