[Day 334]
Today I woke up rather late, and was mostly lazing around while automatically gaining power… I glanced over the window while my wives were bringing my breakfast as I saw that things were stabilizing some more outside.
The Gods were dying less now, and they had begun to finally amass more power through all the products I sold, so things were looking brighter. Additionally, the Gods that were still in debt with me were completing more quests through the Quest Board frantically, so it wasn't as if they had begun to slack off now that things became more peaceful.
Of course, those that had allied me from before all of this were not included into this group, as they never died and were completing tasks incredibly efficiently, all the other gods were literally dying to join their parties, but they were being pretty picky.
Using this method, all these guys can become stronger through completing tasks..
And actually, this doesn't include this group anymore, although a lot of mortals is important to maintain faith, divine beings also give faith too, and it is even often quite juicier. So across my entire Divine Realm many Mortals had already reached max level and evolution, and were now reaching godhood, dozens after dozens of Living Deities were being born across the many nations and kingdoms there were, and each one would grow exponentially faster thanks to all the cultivation resources I was selling in the Shop at the side of the Quest Board.
This meant that I was getting a constant stream of Gods being created slowly, some of these Living Deities had already reached Demigod Rank 1, and as they worked hard completing tasks, sometimes dying, and being revived, and so on, their cultivation continued to become greater and greater.
I had effectively generated a God Factory! I am merely producing Gods without stopping, every day, dozens of living deities rise, and my army keeps increasing!
Of course, things slow down for them after they hit Rank 1 or 2 God Realm, but still, that they can reach it so fast means that I am truly like a Great Goddess at this point.
No, wait, wouldn't I be more like a Supreme Goddess? Handling resources of all types to my subordinates… Well, they have to work for it though! So I am not that generous… Actually, I am, that's why they keep coming here…
Look, there's already two more…
"Masta, breakfast is ready!" Rimuru calls me to have breakfast, as I walk into the table and quickly dig in, there were a wide variety of dishes, our breakfast were always the most varied, and there were always a lot of meat to, although I didn't particularly liked meat for breakfast, as I liked more sweeter things, or perhaps cereals and bread, there were others that loved meat every time, all day, such as the Lamia girls. Nesiphae and Amiphossia ate meat all day, so there was always big pieces of roasted meat for them to enjoy.
As we enjoyed our breakfast, something quite sudden happened, the egg where Lazuli and Blaze were… had finally begun to crack!
It took so long!
We all stopped eating as we glanced at the egg, which was inside the room, of course.
It suddenly exploded with a vast amount of divine essence of both fire and ice, entangling with each other constantly and overflowing everything with a radiant divine power that seemed utterly phenomenal.
It was so strong even I raised an eyebrow! They exuded the power of two goddess at rank 5!
I remember doing this so the two could form their own bodies and so on, as they lacked them. Lazuli had lost her original body after dying so much inside the dungeon and then being revived over and over again, while Blaze was a living deity purely made of divine fire, her soul was this too, so she had no actual physical body other than a clone she was inhabiting.
I wanted them to form new bodies the same way Habitis, Ophois, and Maahes did, which were present at the moment, watching over this occur.
And I had put both of them together into a single egg because of their request, the two had grown together and found many similarities to one another's stories, so they naturally grew close as friends and sisters. At the end, both ended sharing the egg, as they slowly grew, absorbing power from each other constantly, and forming a powerful soul bond that also ended into a cultivation technique of sorts.
By merging Frost and Fire together and constantly change the temperature of their bodies and souls in a cycle of renewal, they were slowly refining divine energy into their bodies and souls, all this time they had been cultivating as well as growing!
And now that they were about to hatch, all of that power suddenly evolved and fused into their very beings, making both of them Goddess Rank! And to boot, it seems that my Monarch of Lust effect affected them, I suppose the system recognizes them as my daughters as I laid their eggs? Well, I am sure that there were more requirements which wont make it so I can just create Rank 5 Gods out of thin air all the time.
However, even without this ability, they should had been still of the Goddess Rank, but due to its effects, a large chunk of my energy was taken away and it merged with them through this aforementioned Ability. Thanks to this, the two had begun to quickly crack out of their eggshells as I slowly recovered the energy I lost thanks to the constant recovery of energies through all the sources I have.
I glanced with surprise as tiny arms quickly crushed the egg into pieces and two figures emerged at once, curious about the outside world, the two girls seemed dizzy and their vision was probably fuzzy as well, being in such long sleeps might had done something like that to their senses.
The two exuded truly powerful divine auras, Lazuli emerged as a beautiful little girl with enormous butterfly wings of azure colors, releasing a cold and icy around them as they glistened with brilliant and reflective light, as if they were made of glass. Her skin was pale-white and as fair as it could be, her eyes shined with aquamarine colors so bright they seemed to be two beautiful sapphires.
Her long azure-colored hair reached her ankles as her slim figure slowly tried to get up, her pointy ears and her sapphire incrusted in her forehead gave the last little details to her mystical appearance. She had truly been reborn as she saw herself as, a Fairy of Ice, the daughter of Skadi from the Realm of Niflheim.
And Blaze too had woken up, her body was blazing with a fiery aura of divine fire. Her body was almost of the same type and stature as Lazuli, but her skin was of a clear chocolate color, and her beautiful eyes were like fiery rubies, so beautiful yet so dangerous. Within her back there was a pair of butterfly wings as well, shining with the colors of vivid flames, red, orange, and a bit of yellow, blazing with overflowing energy as her hair was crimson-red and long, reaching her ankles too.
Everyone glanced with awe as the two beautiful girls were born, a quick Appraisal told me that Lazuli had become the Ice Fairy Goddess of the Winter Moon, while Blaze had become the Fire Fairy Goddess of the Summer Sun, they were a half of the other, and it seemed that they enhanced their strength by being near, something that shouldn't made sense as fire and ice were opposite elements that would destroy each other.
However, in this case it seemed to be the opposite, their power combined together like Yin and Yang, filling the other gap and making each other whole, their chemistry almost reminded me of Veronica and Ervas and how amazingly well fit each one was for the other, Death And Life was just as fitting as Fire and Ice in this scenario, truly something to behold.
Everyone was with awe, some surprised and others amazed, others seemed rather happy that they finally hatched while others were excited to finally have them back, the girls were the first to rush there, as my daughters greeted the twin fairy sisters with hugs and kisses, and even Ailine offered them donuts while Vudia brought sandwiches, thinking that the might be hungry after sleeping for so long.
I quickly walked at their side as I greeted them.
"Glad to have you two back! You really took some time," I said.
"Kireina…!" said Lazuli, as she rushed towards me and hugged me.
"We are back!" said Blaze.
Blaze also hugged me, encompassing me with both frost and fiery sensations all around my body, it felt like I was being both burned and frozen, it wasn't a particular good time, but I resisted it.
"Uagh…! I am both being burned and frozen…" I sighed.
"A-Ah! S-Sorry… We are still trying to get used to such a large amount of power…" said Blaze.
"Indeed… Sorry…" said Lazuli.
I petted the two girls as I smiled at them gently.
"Don't worry, we'll make sure to train together so you girls can get used to it. You got a bunch of siblings eager to teach you," I said.
"I see…! Alright, where's my father? And the Demon Gods? We are ready to fight! Even if we don't practice, we pack a punch now!" sad Blaze all pumped up.
"Yeah, let us help!" said Lazuli.
"Well… you girls sleep over the whole Arc… and the other that came afterwards too," I said with a bitter smile.
"EH?!"
The two seemed expectant to fight against big bosses… Well, this is good though, they will have a lot of time to prepare for the central continent, whenever we do that.
I explained to the two what had happened while they slept with the assistance of my wives and children, it was tales after tales of stuff, and the girls kept dropping their chins in surprise each time…
When I told Blaze that her father was eaten alongside her entire family, she felt both sad and happy that there was an end to their viciousness but also that her former family were all gone…
And the I told her that I had revived them all and they were now reborn as better people pretty much, so I could arrange a meeting with all of them soon enough, if she wanted.
After hearing that she got pretty happy and surprised over my powers, but that's what I can do, I guess.
"So amazing… Kireina-sama you really are impressive! You've done so much… You beat them yet… despite what they did, you still benevolently gave them all a second chance!" she said.
"Haha… Yeah, I am such a benevolent person!" I chuckled.
After everything, the two girls showed their new power, the ability to actually fuse!
When the two fused, they became a mature woman this time, almost as tall as me, reaching a bit less than 3 meters of height. They gained four eyes, one row was red and the other aquamarine, their skin turned red and blue, and their long hair resonated with both azure colors and crimson-red colors, they held four wings with different colors of their elements and four arms as well… their frost and fire power increased exponentially in this form, but that was not all, as they had an enhancement to this form as well! Although they didn't wanted t to show it because it was their super-secret technique which they wanted to use to surprise me one of these days…
Alright then, keep your secrets…
Through most of the day the girls merely relaxed and assessed everything, explaining them that there was now a divine realm was also part of the many things we discussed, which left them very surprised…
I also casually said I was a Great Goddess and they almost lost it…
