[Day 101]
It seems that the twins are very comfy inside of Gaby's belly, as they still don't want to get outside. Gaby's health has stabilized and now she can do basic exercises. However, I still made her stay at bed.
If they are not being born tomorrow or past tomorrow, perhaps in four to five days from now… I need to keep observing her for now, while making sure that she gets her rest.
Today we reached the end of the Light Forest biome and came into a middle "normal" zone once again, I'm starting to get bored of this repeated pattern, but that's how this layer has been formed…
Anyways, I went to hunt there with my children and Evan as the rest just wanted to rest, which is understandable.
The hunt went quite well, there were new species of monsters to try on but none were getting any stronger than a High Kaiser. It seems that to do the leap from High Kaiser to Overlord is quite hard and almost impossible for the most part.
We encountered several bats of different types, which were hiding inside a small underground cave. The first group was of Giant Stripped Bats, these had strong and muscular bodies and could easily rival a Kaiser class monster by themselves, they had the appearance of giant apes that could fly, these bats were extremely weak to Magic of any type.
Afterward, there were the Rancid Tongue Bats, these were as tiny as insects, and attacked in giant swarms, quickly eating their prey alive in mere seconds, they looked like very ugly bats of a tiny size, they were easily killed with Fire.
Lastly, there were Scaled Bats, which were giant bats which bodies were covered on sturdy and though scales, resembling reptiles for the most part. They could even spit fire breath and had strong and muscular bodies. I killed them with massive Oceanic Currents.

[You gained one level!] [LEVEL 008/250 EXP 0612669/6500000]
The Giant Stripped Bats meat was quite tough and not tasty at all, the Rancid Tongue Bats were spicy and you could eat them whole, by far the tastier ones are the Scaled Bats, which had a flavor similar to lizards or snakes, they went good with some beer.

[Greater Arm Enhancement]
[Swarm Tactics]
When we reached the end of this intermediate "natural" zone, we came across a different view. The forest was now composed of trees that sparkled on a zapping light, even the grass on the ground was yellowish, and every time you walked on it, small sparks would be created.
This was the forest surrounding the Thunder Shrine Dungeon. Several species that had a high affinity with Thunder would live in here.
Our first prey was a massive pack of Thundering Monkeys that had a High Kaiser leader. The pack was composed of more than one hundred monkeys. Due to the massive size of this group, a massacre was unfolded.
We sliced and smashed several monkeys. And unlike other packs of monsters that we've encountered, these monkeys would get even angrier as we killed their kind, trying to gang on us from various places while using Thunder Magic and different tools they have crafted.
My children began to struggle over the monkey's tactics and strategies so I had to step in and help everyone out. On the other side, Evan was hanging just fine, showing the true power of a Hero, that I wanted my children to surpass.
Seeing Evan's strength and resilience, the two were inspired to keep on going without my support. After two hours of fighting, most of the monkeys were massacred on beautiful blood flowers that painted the yellow grass on a bright crimson.

[LEVEL 008/250 EXP 2360865/6500000]
I fought the Thunder Monkey Kaiser myself, as I nerfed myself to make the fighting more entertaining. I used several fighting techniques without any weapons or protection, wanting to see the full extent of my new evolved body capabilities.
This monkey punches were extremely strong, which were enhanced by his powerful lighting effect. However, due to my [Thunder Absorption], I didn't take any damage from the lighting element, but the force of each punch remained intact.
As it used its incredible speed and strength to punch me on the face and ribs, I twisted my body and evaded the punch towards my ribs, while raising my feet and kicking the monkey's head.
BAAM!
The monkey's head was completely blasted with my strong kick, it seems that it didn't have many defensive skills… Well, perhaps I shouldn't have aimed towards the head if I wanted the fight to last longer.

[LEVEL 008/250 EXP 3424865/6500000]
The thunder monkey meat was quite delicious, it had a strong flavor accompanied with delicious juices. It also sparkled each time you munched on it. However, if you grill it just fine, it should stop doing this. The Kaiser was the most delicious of the bunch.

[Greater Punching Enhancement]
[Thunderstorm Kaiser Intimidating Muscles]
Seeing that it was already getting quite late, I decided to call it a day and went back to the floating carriage.
For dinner, aside from the monkey meat, I decided to summon Wendigo and Yuki-onna, to see if the meat tastes as good as summoned familiars.
These summoned semi-corporeal ghosts didn't have the personality or intelligence of the original ones, and would usually standstill until I told them to do something.
However, the beauty of the Yuki-onna was still there. I even wondered if there could be a way to make them into breeding slaves. Would they be able to give birth to Goblins or Trolls? I will have to test this when I get back into my Kingdom.
Luckily, their meat was actually very good, however, not as good as I remembered, it seems that summoned Wendigos and Yuki-onnas have a lower quality of meat, but its delicious nonetheless and has strong healing properties.
I quickly summoned more than twenty of each and swiftly butchered them. With the help of Rimuru, Mady, and Adelle, we prepared several plates. This nutritious meat will be ideal for Gaby and the twins, and their skills are also rather good. Especially things like [Organic Armor Materialization] and [Ice Absorption].
Talking about that, [Organic Armor Materialization] is an incredibly convenient skill that lets you materialize a set of clothes depending on your race. No matter how much it gets destroyed, it can regenerate completely without any effort. It says that these clothes get sturdier as one gets stronger.
When I tried using it, it seems that it fused with my armor. However, it resembled a black colored Kimono with a giant crimson red ribbon on my back. My armor was carefully set over it elegantly. The clothes came even with their own stockings and wood sandals. This gives me a more Japanese look than the western look that I had before… I may stick with this as a fellow Otaku on my past life…
Everyone seemed surprised over my new looks. It seems that this new organic armor didn't come just with the clothes, as my hair also was tied more elegantly, resembling some kind of Japanese royalty.
Well, if everyone likes it so much, I may stick with this.

[Day 102]
[Several Gods are interested in your children]
[Third Chaos Bringer Child: ——] has been blessed by the [Demi-God of Shadow Beasts Mebus]
[Third Chaos Bringer Child: ——] has been blessed by the [Titan God of Domination Ditarr]
Today Gaby woke up with some issues, it seems that the female twin was trying to eat the smaller one. Just what I feared the most.
I quickly used my flesh and slime minions to administrate a relaxing secretion through a small nail-like bone. While I began using my Illusion and Hypnosis magic alongside Mana Manipulation to make the twins fall into unconsciousness.
The big girl finally stopped trying to eat her brother, it seems that everything went just fine.
However, due to the fear of this happening when they wake up, I decided to do a cesarean operation and take them before the estimated date. They have grown big enough already, and are around twice as big as the normal Mershark baby.
Gaby also didn't want to lose a child so she accepted my proposal.
I used Hypnosis magic to make Gaby fell asleep in mere seconds, meanwhile, I connected several of my flesh and slime minions towards her veins, which were administrating nutritious blood for her. My Elixir Blood seems to work well as a serum.
Afterward, with the help of my wives and Amiphossia, I disinfected an Adamantine Knife that I had prepared for this occasion.
Using the knife and a small amount of my strength, I did a vertical slice over Gaby's womb, which quickly revealed several droplets of blood. I have never done such things before, and I am no doctor either. So, everything seemed quite messy. Thankfully my flesh and slime minions quickly cleaned any blood lost while replenishing more of my Elixir Blood on the sleeping Gaby.
When the blood was cleaned, I could see Gaby's insides, aside from her scarlet red flesh, there was a translucent sack of flesh, which revealed two Mershark babies inside.
According to Mady and Adelle, this sack doesn't need to be taken out, as every merfolk only has one, if it's loose, the possibility of having children in the future will be lost. It seems that this sack will open itself when the children force their way out through the mother cloaca.
I did a small slice through the translucent sack as several amounts of a milky liquid began to get outside of it. Using my disinfected threads, I grabbed the two children outside and quickly sewed the translucent sack while healing it.
I also sewed Gaby's belly and healed the wound as if nothing was ever there. The threads I used to close the wounds are made of magic, and will naturally dissipate without leaving anything behind.
As I finally calmed down, I began to clean my children using my [Water Manipulation].
Aaah, they are so adorable. Everyone present saw with awe the two beautiful children sleeping on my arms.
The biggest baby was a Megalodon Mershark, her body was around three times bigger than a healthy human baby. She had a short purple and red-colored hair, her humanoid half was pale white, while having several tattoos on her chest and left harm.
On her left arm, she also had a Purple and Red-colored Orb, which exuded a very strong power. Her left hand was covered on several purple-colored scales, while having very sharp nails, resembling the hand of a dragon. This seems to be a strange mutation that didn't seem to have come from her merfolk genes, probably from my own combined genes, which granted her this strange hand.
Her shark half was dark blue, filled with giant and sturdy shark scales. His tail ended on a sharp half-moon shape, with three small fins going through her tail.
As I looked at the smallest child, suddenly several system messages appeared once again.
[Several Demi-Gods are interested in your children]
[Fourth Chaos Bringer Child: ——] has been blessed by the [Demi-Goddess of Arcane Magic Brynhildr]
[Fourth Chaos Bringer Child: ——] has been blessed by the [Demi-God of Aquatic Beasts Ieyar]
Oh? Those names are familiar…
As the blessings were given, a divine presence descended from the skies, engulfing my son's body. Suddenly, several tattoos depicting sharks appeared on his back.
Why didn't he get the blessings before? Did the gods anticipated him to die?
My little son was destined to die?
This probably means that if it wasn't for the accumulated percentage of controlling my own destiny and that of others, my son would have died, no matter how hard I tried to save him.
Sigh…
Seeing my little son peacefully sleeping on my arms, I sincerely don't know how would I had reacted if something like this happened to him.
The little boy's humanoid half was pale white too, and unlike her sister, he had pure red hair alongside a red and blue colored orb on his forehead. He also had pointed ears and a cute sleepy face. His lower half resembled that of her mother, being of a clear blue color with small but very sturdy scales.
Although my wives and Amiphossia wanted to carry the babies, they were just born, so I accommodated them around the sleepy Gaby and left several flesh and slime minions giving them warmth. As the family of Mersharks slept peacefully, I began to think of their names.
It seems that I need to give them names before [Epic of Caterpillar] triggers the bonus chapter that takes the two children into my destiny.
It seems that the operation took a lot of hours without me realizing, as it was close to 5 PM.
I decided to stay on the floating carriage with Gaby and my wives, we mostly did everything around them as they slept.
At 7 PM, Gaby finally woke up and suddenly realized that her babies were peacefully sleeping at her sides. She began to cry as she caressed our two children heads.
She seemed to become very emotional so I accompanied and hugged her while kissing her cheeks, which were wet with Gaby's tears.
"I-I'm so glad the two are alive… They look so healthy, my babies… Sniff"
"Hmm, both of them have your beauty. Thankfully, the little boy managed to survive. Her big sister will have to apologize later on for what she tried to do"
"I agree… However, those were just her instincts as a baby without much knowledge. I'm sure she will grow into a strong and lovely girl"
"I also think so"
As I finished my words, both of our lips came together on a sincere and warm kiss.
Just after our kiss, Gaby began to cry once again while holding both children with her arms. I caressed her head while chanting a relaxing and calming melody.
