[LEVEL 074/250] [EXP 231.243.506.524/450.000.000.000]


Today I was woken up by a curious baby girl, Belle, who was moving around the bed by herself already.


"Belle? Do not go around by yourself, it is dangerous. Come here"


I extended my arm and shapes.h.i.+fted it into a long and red tentacle that grabbed on Belle"s tightly.


"Baah…" she muttered.


"Oh? You can already say some words? Although they don"t mean anything"


"Bah…" said Belle, seemingly giving up, I embraced her in a hug, she seemed to enjoy the bounciness within my b.r.e.a.s.t.s.


"Cute little Belle… How did you escape Adelle?" I said.


Adelle was sleeping right at my side; she was deeply immersed in her dreams. She had been feeding Belle constantly, so she had her b.r.e.a.s.t.s revealed shamelessly, with some drops of milk making her nightdress wet.


Belle suddenly expanded her Divine Aura, which sparkled in different ones of light. She moved her tiny hands around as her Aura responded to her commands, she was talented.


"Bah!" she said, pointing her Aura with her fingers as she generated a sphere of sparkling light and darkness, mixed perfectly, spiraling against each other.


"Hm?! You can already shape your Divine Energy alongside your Mana? This sphere… But it"s too dangerous! You"re still a baby, you can"t play around with that for now!" I said, waving my hand and suppressing Belle"s Divine Energy with my own Aura.


"Bah! Bah…" she muttered, saddened.


"I"m sorry my love, but you need to grow more to use it, for now, do things that babies do!"


I moved Belle towards the bathroom where I changed her diapers and washed her with warm water and several aromatic soaps good for a baby"s delicate skin.


Completely washed and smelling like roses, I dressed her in a simple white dress.


"Hmm… Bah!"


Belle seemed to be overly fl.u.s.tered through the whole ordeal, something that has not happened to any of my children before… Perhaps she is intelligent enough to understand what I am doing? She seemed too embarra.s.sed about being a little baby.


"Belle? You seem quite gloomy… How about we go have some breakfast? Something yummy! I"m sure that you can eat some fruit pulp for now" I said.


Adelle who had been woken up by the rest of my wives seemed hysterical after she realized that Belle was not with her.


"M-My baby! Where is it?!"


"Mah!" said Belle.


"Ah! Belle... Did she move overnight?" asked Adelle.


"Yeah, when I woke up, I found her moving around the bed. So, I grabbed her and then changed her diapers and bathed her. She"s now tasting her first meal aside from milk, she seems to like Ambrosia pulp" I said.


Of course, I feed my baby with the best possible fruit pulp in the Empire, Ambrosia. It was filled with nutrients and its flavor was delectable to anyone, even those who didn"t even like sweet food.


"You were also sleeping very peacefully; I couldn"t just wake you up" I added.


"Sigh… Okay" muttered Adelle, with a tired expression, she seemed quite drained from having her nutrients drained from her body through the production of milk.


"You have a gloomy face, Adelle. Come eat some more, you need a lot of calories, especially if you"re not an Undead" said Alice while sipping some tea.


"I guess you"re right… Ah, but give me Belle, I want to hold her" she said.


"Here you have her," I said, taking Belle with my arms and giving it to Adelle.


Adelle gave Belle some warm kisses on her plump cheeks and tiny nose.


"Ah, you smell like roses Belle-chan! Aren"t you the cutest? Hehe" laughed Adelle playfully.


"Bah! Bah!" said Belle, touching her mother"s nose.


On behalf of more children being born in the future, I decided to add the rest of my concubines as wives through the Kingdom System, which is often left to work on its own.


The Kingdom System is a special extension of the System which shows me the progress of my own Kingdom or Empire. It also gives me a few tasks to complete to receive rewards and also increases my population"s stat growth, base stats, and gained Experience Points based on how many people there are.


Simply put, the more citizens there are, the stronger everyone gets. But the System itself only sees intelligent beings as citizens. There is seemed to be a cap in the number of citizens of a species that would end up granting a bonus to everyone, so bypa.s.sing that amount would not give an endless boost. For example, I have already reached the bonus cap that Yuki-Onna and Wendigo grant, meaning that if I keep summoning more, even if they are intelligent, no bonuses will be granted anymore to the population.


This is a reason why I am interested in adding as many different races or species of demi-humans as I can inside of my Empire, such as the beastmen, with each one having a different subspecies even if they were all cats, such as lions, black cats, desert cats, and so on.


The best thing would be to add every tribe of Beastmen that exist in the Realm of Vida, it is highly beneficial… alongside the other tribes as well, such as the plentiful of Dragonoid subspecies… lizardman, elves, dwarves, and so on.


Putting these thoughts aside for the moment being, I went towards the throne room where the Kingdom System could be opened.

Each time a task is completed, the now called "Empire" System receives Experience Points and levels up. I remember that I had a lot of tasks before, but they were all completed and made the Kingdom System-level up to its level cap, "evolving" into an Empire System, being currently at level 27.


Now I decided to register another ten of my concubines as official wives through this System, so I can complete the task and receive some rewards that can benefit everyone.


[Altani, Nephiana, Nanako Maki, Ismena, Acelina, Kaguya, Nixephine, Nefert.i.ti, Oga, Sofelaia, and Sofarpia have been registered has official wives!]

[Each one of your Wives Received a Reward!]


[Your Empire has leveled up!] [Level 28/50]


[New Task Obtained]


[An Empress is Capable of Loving Many, Register up to Thirty Wives] [21/30]


I quickly rushed back to my room where most of my wives were and began to ask for their rewards. I had obtained a new Divinity Fragment Elixir, but I wondered if they got something similar… and if they could even drink it.


"Oh, this yogurt is pretty nice… Guu?!"


Rimuru was the first one that I saw drinking a strange Elixir!


"W-Wait, Rimuru! Spit it out, Divine Energy is dangerous for you!"


"Guu? What are you talking about, Masta? This drink is divine energy? But it"s so sweet and creamy, like a yogurt! I ate it all already… will I eat stomachache?" asked Rimuru. She was sitting in a chair, the empty flask disappeared as if it were made out of sparkling dust. She looked at me with a concerned expression.


"A-Are you really okay, Rimuru?" I asked again, I remember how aggressive Divine Energy was to mortals that tried to consume it, being able to even destroy their internal cells and kill them from the inside out.


"Yeah… actually, I got a few Skills… and got… a Small Pseudo Demi-Divinity…? It is about Spirits" said Rimuru.


The rest of my wives who have not noticed the reward in their Item Boxes began to take it out.


"Will we really get such power by just consuming this?" asked Zehe.


"Hm, if Rimuru is fine and even got a "Small Pseudo Demi-Divinity", it means that it should be fine to drink. I suspect that this was created by the system itself for your consumption, probably calculating the power level of me, it chooses the most fitting reward for me, which ended being distributed to all of you as well"


"Ah! My Soul Rank is 5 now, guu! I cannot produce Divine Energy like Ailine-chan, but my soul feels a bit "divine" like Masta!" said Rimuru.


Everyone began to drink the colorful elixirs one by one, and I decided to join them as I drank the Elixir I obtained.


[Kireina] acquired [Large Fragment of Love Divinity (Unknown)]!]


[The acquired fragment has been integrated into current Pseudo-Divinity!]


[Kireina] gained +120 Soul Stats!]


[Kireina] gained +40 MP, +50 Magic, +30 Resistance, and +100 Charisma!]


[The Levels of the [Sin of l.u.s.t Destructive Awakening; Level 4], [Global Charming Illusion; Level 4], [Love Connection; Level 8], [l.u.s.tful Ecstasy Nectar; Level 7], [Pleasure Mind Attack; Level 8], [Greater s.e.xual Resiliency; Level 7], [Endless s.e.xual l.u.s.t, Tireless Libido and Adaptability; Level 7], [l.u.s.t"s Womb; Level 4], [Brainwash Master; Level 6], [Charming Tower; Level 5], [Love Extraction; Level 7], [s.e.xy Provocation; Level 7], [Savage Love; Level 7], [Alluring Martial Arts; Level 8], and [Freezing Kiss; Level 3] Skills have increased!]


"This is good… it reminds me… of the juice my father used to do with wild strawberries in my first life… just what is this drink? How could it taste like that? How did it… know?" wondered Brontes.


"Ah, it tastes like the orange juice that Herbell always gave to me when he taught me magic. Back then when I used to be a shy and bullied girl" said Zehe.


"Haah~ That was mighty good! It felt like a drink that was specifically made for me!" said Oga.


"Indeed… it tasted like the most delicious and aromatic of teas," said Acelina.


"Oh G.o.ds, this was truly a delicacy…" muttered Ismena.


"It tasted like fruits and milk mixed… but it wasn"t just yogurt… Will I really get something by drinking this- Oh?! I did!" shouted Sofarpia.


"Sister! I got something as well!" added Sofelaia.


"Ah, it tasted like the finest of wines," said Nixephine.


"It tasted more like tea for me" added Nefert.i.ti.


"Wine? Tea? It was beer obviously!" said Nesiphae.


"Hm, I liked it, it was like acorn juice… I"ve never drunk acorn juice before, but this was so good!" said Kaguya, waving her nine squirrel tails.


"I can"t believe this… it tasted better than Kireina��s Blood… Impossible! But…" said Alice, she seemed conflicted.


"Hm, it had the taste of the fruit pulp juice that my mother used to make for me…" muttered Altani.


"What? Really? It just tasted like that rich soda drink for me! It had some lemon flavor!" said Gaby.


"It tasted like strawberry-flavored wine for me, something that I haven"t drunk in a while. I wonder if they still sell those in Aquaria?" wondered Mady.


"It had the rich taste of Starfish Dew… Wonderful" said Adelle.


"It felt like drinking my mother"s milk tea with cinnamon… Fweh, the memories are flowing through my mind… it is really beautiful" said Lilith.


"Hmm… I think I used to drink a delicious lemonade that my Uncle made for me when I was trying to learn Alchemy with him… back then I was such a young and stupid girl… It tasted like that, and those years perhaps" said Charlotte.


"It tastes like the herbal tea of my family; my grandma always gives me a cup when I go visit her," said Nanako.


It seems that everyone felt that the Elixir had a different flavor, some recalled their favorite drinks that marked something in their memories and personalities, while others tasted like their favorite and newest drink, like soda for Gaby.


Everyone ended up obtaining a slight Divinity in their Soul and Aura… but aside from that, it wasn"t much.


Well, it was still amazing. I never expected that the Kingdom or Empire System from all things would reward my wives with such a drink.


Perhaps I can now teach them Divinity Devouring? Thought I may need to confirm if they can consume normal Divine Energy.


I tried to make Rimuru taste a piece of my soul, but it seemed to not work. The moment she put it in her mouth, it began to move around hysterically inside of it, and she had to spit it out. Thankfully Rimuru was a Slime, so her cells being slowly destroyed did not hurt as much.


I apologized afterward and made sure to compensate her with a nice meal and some cuddling.


"I guess you girls can"t learn "Divinity Devouring" yet…"


"Well, it"s not like it matters! Isn"t it? You can just coat our weapons with the skill effect, and we"ll do the job simply fine!" said Gaby, nonchalantly.


"I guess so"


"But still, if we will be fighting a Demon G.o.d shortly, we should keep training and getting stronger," said Nesiphae.


"Indeed, even with Kireina"s help, we need to know how to fend by ourselves," said Brontes.


And like this, most everyone went to the dungeon to practice their powers, I went with my second body, while I stayed with my first body with Nephiana, Mady, and Adelle. I decided to use a variety of skills to fight, leveling some I had abandoned. I am planning on maxing their levels and wait for them to merge automatically as they have been doing.


After the hunting in the Dungeon, I went to accompany my children to their cla.s.ses with the G.o.ds and had a delicious dinner, later on, Belle was resting in my arms as I feed her more Ambrosia pulp, afterwards, I breastfeed her myself for the rest of the night. She seemed to have been fl.u.s.tered at first, but afterward, she accepted my milk.


Sleeping with my baby drinking my milk was strangely relaxing…


[Kireina] gained 27.650.443.900 EXP!]
