As Kireina celebrated with her family the triumph against Geggoron doing a big barbeque using the piles and piles of monstrosities in the entire Dark Moon Empire, the gods gathered inside of Morpheus's Divine Realm.
"She has… really killed Geggoron…! Kireina-sama is indeed an existence without equal!" said Agatheina, the Vampire Goddess of Blood, while glancing at the projection of Kireina through an artifact.
"Not only she killed him… but she also ate him… completely," muttered Morpheus, the Beast Demigod of Horses and Centaurs.
"She ate his entire body and soul as well… the ability to eat anything, Devour… it is really a power that surpasses even common sense…" said Levana, the Beast Demigoddess of Bats and Bat Beastmen
"A mortal capable of digesting the bodies and souls of gods… now it is confirmed that she can do this… When she fought against Megusan, he was weakened, torn into pieces, and also lacking his physical body… but now Geggoron was pretty much using all of his strength… and even then," added Maeralya, the Beast Demigoddess of Felines and Cat Beastmen.
"Well, it is not like she did everything by herself, she had many tools. She had eaten Megusan before, and also pieces of our divinities. Alongside the help of her entire family… it all came together into a force capable of slaying a Demigod in all its strength. She used every tool wonderfully to proclaim victory," said Bovdohr, the Demigod of Eclipses.
"It was also convenient that Geggoron's divinity would never let him calmly think about things while being in a confrontation. He was a good schemer and liked to always work in the shadows while moving the strings… but when he was confronted personally by Kireina, he lost his composure too fast, like an immature child. Divinities can really be a curse for us gods sometimes…" said Hodhyl, the Wyvern Goddess of Nature.
"It's his fault for being such a weakling. And it is not like we pity him or anything. If he had stayed silent or would not have tried to mess around with our allies, he might have still been alive. Well, he also dared on provoking Kireina. Even she would not have actively sought his death if he would not have dared to touch her beloved daughter," said Merveim, the Wyvern God of Strength.
"I think that he got all he deserved! That stupid living fart! Hahaha! I hope he is being digested slowly inside of Kireina-sama's stomach! That is the only hell he deserves!" roared Marnet, the Beast Demigod of Canines and Dog Beastmen, celebrating the death of his enemy, who had brought the death of many of his children.
"Indeed, he deserves it all, I shall be grateful to Kireina for the rest of my life," said Maeralya.
"I wonder if Kireina-sama had obtained the full extent of Geggoron's power? Including his Divine Realm and Divinity…" said Nomera, the Demigoddess of Dawns.
"She has, I can feel it through the connection of my blessing. I presume she had also acquired something similar to a Divine Realm… even without being a god yet. It must be the ability of Devour to give its user a skill that relates to what it devoured. She absorbed the abilities of Geggoron and acquired things that mortals should not even have… All of this is so… wonderful! Kireina-sama! Ooh, Kireina-sama!"
Agatheina was dancing around while glancing at Kireina's reflection in the artifact, she was quickly descending into a wicked and mad love towards her.
The other gods had grown accustomed to her behaviors and decided to ignore her for the most part…
"Well, if she even ends up with a Divine Realm, we could pay her a visit in the flesh there, can't we?" asked Levana.
"I would gladly help her out in supporting her Divine Realm, and to raise Divine Materials…" said Hodhyl.
"Though it's weird, aside from the harvesting of the materials, how would she benefit from increasing the quality of his Divine Realm if she does not possess God Ranks to increase accordingly to them?" asked Merveim.
"I presume that she can only store things inside but cannot raise her Divine Rank for now… I just wonder how strong she would become when she finally ascends to godhood… she would most likely break many boundaries… If she can already kill demigods as a mortal…" murmured Morpheus.
"The moment she does, she will be leading all of us as the master of the entire Pantheon… and her strength will be too dangerous, most likely. Other gods will try to get rid of her before she can raise in the God Ranks anymore…" added Maeralya.
"Well, we are there to not let that happen!" roared Marnet.
"For now, let's calm down and wait for Kireina-sama to contact us after she is done celebrating… maybe we should also let her rest until tomorrow," said Bovdohr.
"I agree, she needs to rest, she has done a lot of things…" muttered Nomera.
"Isn't she tireless anyways?" asked Levana.
"Well yes, but she needs to relax, she has a whole family to take care of…" said Merveim.
"Talking about families… how are your children, Marnet?" asked Hodhyl.
"Ah, they are doing well, after taking out pieces of their divinities they had to rest for a bit, but with Hodhyl's healings, they're fine now," said Marnet.
"They were quite brave to do such a thing… and a bit reckless to be honest," said Maeralya.
"They are as reckless as their father…" said Morpheus.
"H-Hey! Do not blame them, it worked in the end, right? Now my mortal children that survived are thriving in Kireina's Empire, being given large houses and work, alongside food and other things," laughed Marnet.
"So you're just shifting all the responsibility to Kireina?" asked Hodhyl.
"W-What? Don't you all do the same anyway?" asked Marnet, closing his arms.
"Indeed…" muttered Levana.
"Well, you're right," said Morpheus.
"We are relying a lot on her strength to take care of our mortal children, but we need to do the same for her and help her out as much as possible," said Maeralya.
The gods discussed through the night, drinking tea, and snacking on several preparations and food brought from Kireina's Empire. Although they were not made with Divine Materials, the food was strangely delicious and mystical in flavor, even gods recognized the deliciousness and the vigor that it brought.
"This food… Kireina really has very talented chefs" said Merveim.
"I think she divides her body into clones for cooking… well, there is also a large team of chefs that are not her clones, and they all work together with her to bring the most delicious of preparations… there is also one of her wives, Rimuru-sama, who is an amazing chef, her pastries are… otherworldly in flavor, something completely out of my mind," admitted Levana passionately, she was in love with Rimuru's cooking.
"I think you're exaggerating a bit sister, there is no way that a mortal could make something so crazily good…" said Marnet, who did not like sweets as much.
"You idiot try a bite of this ambrosia pie and then try to say that again!" said Maeralya, bringing a piece of pie to Marnet's mouth.
"Bugh… Nom… Hm… Hm?! What is this?! S-So good! The crust is so buttery and soft, yet crumbly! The fruit inside is as soft as jam and jelly-like! Its sweetness is not intoxicating at all, but filled with many scents and aromas from different fruits into one… what kind of… I-I…"
It seems that Levana and Maeralya had found a new member for their club of pastries love.
"See? See? Now say it again!" laughed Maeralya.
"I… I am sorry. I suppose I should not have judged earlier… I was never someone that liked sweets, but this is… an exception," admitted Marnet while waving down his tails.
"Good!" laughed Levana.
Mohini, who had recently recovered from the damage inflicted to her by Geggoron was joining the rest of the gods in their large feast while enjoying the pie and the grilled steaks of Dragon Overlord meat.
"Haah~ I feel very honored to have been invited by my mother to dine with the rest of the gods…"
"You don't have to call us gods, Mohini, we are all family here!" laughed Marnet, while drinking wine and eating pies and cakes with great vigor.
"You're also my wife, so you can come in here with all of us, Mohini," said Morpheus with a gentle smile, his gentle demeanor and handsomeness always captivated Mohini.
"Ah, Morpheus-sama! How about we make more Sphinxes?" she asked.
Morpheus almost choked on the tea he was drinking.
"Ugh…! M-Mohini… I don't think this is an ideal place to talk about such things…" he muttered.
"Fufufu," laughed Mohini mischievously.
"Hey, it seems like my daughter is back with energy! You better not disappoint her in bed, old man!" laughed Maeralya while patting her brother's shoulders with her strong arms.
"I wonder if the Sphinxes that you will give birth to will become Midnight or Midday Bastet…" wondered Agatheina, who had become back to reality and was enjoying a plate delicious plate cooked by Kireina's slime clones, which also included Kireina's own blood as a sauce. The beverage she was drinking, which resembled crimson wine was also her blood.
"Hm… perhaps? Though I think the Sphinxes evolved into them when they received Kireina-sama blessing… maybe we need her blessing? Like Bovdohr-sama and Nomera-sama!" said Mohini.
"Her blessings…" muttered Morpheus.
"I think you can obtain by digesting her flesh and blood… although Bovdohr and Nomera acquired it through dreams, if she hasn't shown in your dreams, then a quicker approach might be by consuming these plates," said Agatheina, offering a few stranger plates… they resembled simple crimson jelly, aromatic white cheese with herbs and slices of grilled meat that emanated a delicious scent.
"These are… made out with Kireina-sama body?!" exclaimed Mohini.
"Indeed, the jelly is made out with her blood, the cheese with her milk, and the steaks… well, with her endless supply of flesh, which she can produce and detach from herself with ease and painlessly… she is indeed an endless supply of delicacies! Ah, the pies everyone is eating were also made with her body, from fruits that she can create with it named Ambrosia," laughed Agatheina, enjoying the food.
"I-I see… well, it should be a fun new experience, isn't it?" said Mohini, tasting the grilled and juicy steaks. The tender and salty meat were delicious, she wondered if this was really Kireina, a beautiful and delicate-looking fairy's flesh.
This flesh was not produced by her main body, but by her own cooking Slime Clones that we're able to do so as ingredients. Some would shapeshift into different types of chimeras to obtain different types of meat. Such as white meat, red meat, fish meat, shellfish meat, and more.
What Mohini was tasting was a combination of Demon and Dragon meat, the one considered the tastiest by most experts in the Empire.
Of course, in the Empire, most people knew that they were eating their empresses, but did not mind nor were terrified by this, most likely because they didn't saw Kireina as a normal person but as a goddess that provided nourishment benevolently.
It was also cheap meat compared to the others, though Kireina has not done whole farms of her own meat, as she liked the diversity in the Empire's food. And knew that her flesh might be too addictive. She did not want her citizens to become zombies drooling for her flesh at all times.
As Mohini and Morpheus kept tasting the food, they discovered that most of it had in some way of another… a bit of Kireina. Even the pastries had her Ambrosia, the sandwiches had her meat mixed with other meat and her blood mixed with sauces.
After a bit, she and Morpheus acquired her blessings and felt that her minds had opened… they began to follow Kireina, and unwarily, they were enlightened by her.
"Uwah! This is too good! Let us go make babies right now, Morpheus! I'm filled with vigor now, Nya!"
"Ah! It is indeed very good but- W-Wait, Mohini?! You are carrying me?! Since when are you so strong?!"
The food made with Kireina's body parts also had the side effect of awakening someone's lust and granted an immense amount of vigor. Though the more you ate of it, the lesser would be the effects.
Stronger gods like the rest present were barely affected by this side-effect, but Mohini was a Living Deity, so it hit her quite hard.
She mustered a strength that she was not aware of having and carried Morpheus to her Divine Realm…
The rest of the feast was mostly uneventful… but in the middle of it, Marnet and Maeralya received the messages of more of their siblings.
"Sigh, they already saw that Kireina finished our tasks and now they want her to help them out immediately…" said Maeralya.
"Well, I understand their concern, but let us contact them tomorrow," said Marnet.
"Hopefully, they bring good incentives! Make sure to tell them that! Fufufu" laughed Agatheina.
