Chapter 436 - The Seven Colors Heroic Harpy Siblings

Crack, crack!
The rainbow egg began to crack, pieces of the sh.e.l.l started to fall over the floor, revealing a small, rainbow feather from within.
"Chupiii! My child! Come on, get out! Get out and meet your mama!" said Nephiana, she was excited that our child was finally about to hatch from its egg.
"Rainbow feathers… I"ve never seen anyone give birth to a rainbow-feathered harpy back then… this is a first" muttered Kenik, Nephiana"s father.
"Indeed… should I help it get out of the sh.e.l.l?" I asked. I found that there was little reason to let it struggle to get out by itself.
"Kireina-sama, you don"t have to…" muttered Kenik.
"No, Kireina-san, we must let the chick use its own strength to hatch! It is its first trial in this life, it will help it mold a strong character!" said Nephiana.
"Is that so…?"
"I suppose Kireina had already forgotten that bit of info but when Amiphossia was hatching from her egg, she also wanted to help her out. It is better if they are born by themselves instead!" said Nesiphae.
"Oh, right… how could I forget? Haah… so many things had happened since then…"
"Hm? Mold my character? So if I were to be helped when I hatched from my egg, I would have been weak-willed? I don"t think so…" muttered Amiphossia.
"Well, it"s just a hypothesis, everyone has their own characters, although they are forged through experiences, one experience cannot define someone completely, but many… I don"t think that Amiphossia would have been much different if she had received some help when she was hatching from her egg… but it seems to be a tradition within oviparous demi-humans to let their children hatch from their eggs on their own, like a small strength contest" said Zehe.
Crack, crack!
More pieces of eggsh.e.l.l fell to the floor as a small pale-white hand covered in rainbow feathers appeared.
"Chupii! My child! Come on, I know you can do it! Come to mama! Come to mama!" said Nephiana, excited while raising her wings.
"Ooh… T-This is… my grandchild is so strong… I"m truly blessed to be able to withstand this moment…" muttered Kenik.
"Come with us, my child," I said.
Crack, crack!
Suddenly, another wing popped out, and then… a little head!
An adorable and beautiful young girl… or boy? I could not tell.
Its eyes seemed sleepy, and s.h.i.+ned in many colors, even surpa.s.sing Rimuru"s eyes. Its hair was also made out of different colors.
"Chirp! Chirp…!" it said.
Aaah… so cute!
"Mama! Sibling?" asked Belle, who was being carried by Adelle at my side.
"Indeed... it is your sibling, Belle-chan"
"Sibling!" said Nirah, who was sitting on my right shoulder.
"Yes, Nirah-chan, your sibling as well"
"Mama! Sibling, sibling!" she said, she was just as happy.
"Chirp, chirp!"
The moment our child was born, it began to cry like a chick, its aura slowly started to expand around, showcasing different essence and colors… several magic attributes were gathered in the same place.
The different colors created a rainbow arc around it… as if it were a deity.
"Chirp, chirp!" it said, as Nephiana embraced it with her wings.
Although we were genuinely happy that it was finally born and very healthy… there was still the truth about it being originally seven chicks.
"Uwah… my children… so you are one now? Will you all ever separate?" lamented Nephiana, as I approached her and hugged her as well while embracing our child with our warm.
As if understanding Nephiana"s words, the chick glanced at our eyes for a few moments and then it s.h.i.+ned brightly, the varied colors that made up its entire aura separated into seven, and seven chicks appeared in our arms!
Seven! They were here!
Each one was of a different color… Bright Pink, Deep Dark, Bright Green, Bright Yellow, Dark Purple, Orange and Brown, and Scarlet Red.
I could not help but feel alleviated… It would have been quite sad if they were to stay merged forever.
"How wonderful… my grandchildren!" cried Kenik, releasing tears of happiness.
"Uwaaa…! I am so glad you are all fine! My beloved little chicks!" cried Nephiana, hugging and rubbing our children with her face.
"M-My children… I"m so glad you are capable of going back to normal… phew… you don"t know how worried your mother was when you merged into one egg" I said.
"Chirp… chirp!" they said.
The little dark-colored one was grabbing on my arm, while the dark purple-colored seemed to be smelling me… They all have their own uniqueness.
"Seven chicks… Oh, G.o.ds… And they are so beautiful… My beautiful little children… Vudia, Ailine, Amiphossia, Ryo, Aarae, Valentia, Belle, Nirah, come see your siblings!" I said.
I decided to call on my children so they could meet them, Nirah and Belle were already playing with them.
"Chupii… my child… my child… I don"t think I have enough breast to feed you all…" said Nephiana.
"What? Breastfeed?" I asked.
Didn"t harpies do not need to breastfeed? Well, I may be wrong, this is a different world after all…
"Why, yes, Kireina-sama. It is necessary to breastfeed your children. Although I"ve heard of different harpy tribes that did not need to do so, we of the Windy Mountains Harpy Tribe received the milk of our mothers" said Kenik.
"Indeed! It is necessary for us… though they are seven! How can I feed them? Even if Kireina helps me out… three chicks would be left without being feed!" said Nephiana.
"Don"t worry, they are very strong, I"m sure that they are capable of waiting for their turn, don"t they?" I said.
"W-Well… I guess so" said Nephiana.
My children quickly meet with the seven chicks. All of the chicks seemed friendly, without having a hint of fear in their eyes.
"Ah~ They"re so cute… Now we have seven more children!" muttered Amiphossia.
"Yes… so many little siblings! Uwaah!" shouted Vudia, overwhelmed by the chicks who attacked her with their fluffy feathers.
"Chirp, chirp!" said the Bright Yellow chick, releasing sparks of lightning as it sneezed.
"Chirp…" said the Dark chick, glancing at its feathers.
"Now that we have confirmed that they can separate, it probably means that the way they merged is some kind of special ability or skill…" said Zehe.
"Haah~ They"re so cute, Zehe, grab one!" said Nesiphae.
Zehe grabbed the bright, green-colored chick as she caressed its silky hair.
"Hm… what name should we give to you all?" wondered Nephiana.
"My daughter, should we name them after your mother and sister?" asked Kenik.
"Oh? That"s a good idea!" said Nephiana.
"Yeah, but there are five left though…" I said.
"That"s true… well… Hm? Ah, they"re falling asleep?" asked Nephiana.
All the chicks fell asleep where they were. Each one of them was being carried by someone in my family, falling asleep on their shoulders.
"Ah, they fell asleep already?" wondered Nephiana.
"It must be because they were so vigorous before, they depleted their energy quite fast…" I said.
"Talking about energy… the one that they were releasing, it was Divine Energy… right?" asked Zehe.
"Yes… I was able to sense it as well" I said.
Redgaria, who had recovered from my mystic eye"s curses, came walking here.
"Indeed… that was genuine Divine Energy! Just as we had already detected when the egg was incubating… they have Divine Energy from the start! The same as Belle, and to an extent Nirah, although she is not your real daughter" said Redgaria.
Nirah seemed to understand some of Redgaria"s words and got sad.
"Mama? Mama?" she asked.
"Sigh… don"t listen to the gloomy man, Nirah-chan. You"re my daughter" I said.
"Mama!" she said, rubbing her face against my cheeks.
After a lot of discussions, we laid the seven chicks over the large bed and finally decided on their names. We were also able to a.n.a.lyze their varied abilities.
The Bright Pink chick exuded powers related to Water Attribute, and Wind Attribute, which she had great affinities with, and combined them to form strange new forms of magic. She had fluffy pink feathers and yellow eyes. She seemed to have a very calm personality, so we named her after Nephiana"s mother, Ocypyne.
The Deep Dark chick showed a powerful and dense aura, representing shadow and darkness, with the ability to generate dark flames that could easily curse someone if they were to burn them. He seemed to be overall quite silent, but sometimes it would like to do odd things. We named him after Kenik"s little brother, Caellaeno.
The Bright Green chick showcased an aura related to Emerald Green Magic and Nature Attribute, with a bit of Life Attribute mixed in. It had the smallest complexion of the seven, and she was also very dependable, with a kind personality. She was named after Nephiana"s sister, Nyphenne.
The Bright Yellow chick held abilities related to bright light and electricity, the manipulation of such forces let it manipulate her aura around, creating different mirages of light and powerful attacks if she were to become fl.u.s.tered… whenever she sneezed, strong sparks of lightning would be released from all of her yellow feathers, which would turn rigid due to the static. She was named after Kenik"s mother and Nephiana"s grandmother, Solyth.
The Dark Purple chick had a curious personality and often liked to cover things with a gooey slime that it was capable of producing through his fingers. This slime was in fact poison, though it was non-lethal for now, she needed to grasp some control into it. For now, she just left everything slippery. She had beautiful dark purple feathers covering her small body, with bright pink eyes. He was named after Kenik"s father and Nephiana"s grandfather, Dereo.
The Orange and Brown chick has a beautiful set of feathers, with bright orange and brown colors, seemingly of a desert-type of harpy species. She exuded the highest proficiency in Earth Attribute, coupled with abnormally high strength. Although she seemed beautiful and delicate. Her eyes were brown colored. She was named after Nephiana"s niece, Nepharia.
The Scarlet Red chick had the brightest of feathers, s.h.i.+ning in a crimson red light. He was also capable of releasing a crystalline, jewel-like aura, and was capable of summoning jewels and manipulating them, his other ability was a highly proficient Blood Attribute Magic and some Vampire skills. He was named after Nephiana"s other niece, Uryphe.

"Phew… so many names… will we be able to remember them all?" wondered Amiphossia.
"I will do my best to do so…" I said, patting the beautiful and sleeping chicks.
"Chupiii… Should we let them sleep? Perhaps we should begin breastfeeding them" said Nephiana.
"Well, alright… I can also divide my body to breastfeed the rest, so no one will be left alone" I said, dividing my body into three.
I usually only divide it in two because I still have a decent amount of stats, but if I divide it in three, the stats begin to get greatly reduced. But it did not matter in the fact of breastfeeding.
We gently grabbed each chick, Nephiana made Ocypyne and Caellaeno feed on her medium-sized breast. They were quite confused at first, but quickly realized what was happening, without doubting anymore, they began to dig in.
My other three bodies breastfeed the other five… Sharing the senses from three different bodies, all of them breastfeeding five different children… it was really something else.
"Chupii… drink a lot of milk from mama so you can all grow strong!" said Nephiana.
We decided to rest in the large bed for the rest of the day, Nephiana and my three bodies. The Arachne Maids kept on bringing high-calory snacks for my three bodies to regain the drained nutrients. Examining the chicks in detail would be moved to whenever they grow some more, they are still too young, barely being able to properly walk or crawl.
The rest of my wives stayed for the most part, while some like Nesiphae, Nixephine, and Brontes went hunting for more delicious monsters in the dungeon.
Meanwhile, inside of my first body soul, I kept exploring the Dream Attribute Dungeon. Reaching the thirtieth floor, it seemed to go deeper and deeper than I imagined, perhaps one hundred floors? Well, there is no rush.
As I advanced with my Aura Avatar/Clone through the Dungeon inside of my Soul"s Inner Realm, I kept gaining Experience Points through slaying the Dream Attribute Monsters inside and skills by eating them.
I came across two more "Dream Portals" that connected the dungeon to small Dream Realms… or that"s what I think they are. For now, I am sealing them inside secret rooms without doors, as I cannot explore them in detail, and I do not want any weird monster getting inside my soul.
I considered creating another dungeon and also move some of the Chimera Family led by Catterpillar and other of my servants here to train. I can already open a sizable portal to the inside of my Soul"s Inner Realm as the skill has reached level 7.
The production of my silk and horns have gone smoothly, and also Ambrosias have been produced in high quant.i.ties since I obtained the skill, the fruit has been distributed through the entire city as a delicacy, without having a cheap price at all. Those Explorers who had gathered enough money brought one and obtained extra stats and small magic affinities.
