[Current Level: 142/250]


After having changed Cla.s.ses and Subcla.s.ses yesterday, I spent the rest of the day rather lax, but today I woke up with a lot of energy.


Well, a lot of energy meaning all of the energy that I always have constantly being generated into my soul and body.


After my soul digested the souls of Cyrene and Asclepius good enough, my power had surged quite a bit, and well, my mind feels as if it were blossoming with countless thoughts and ideas.


The new prototypes of the Mech Transformation Bodysuits that include the ability to merge both physically and ethereal are having leaps in progress, and only the last refinements are needed for the finished product.


However, for one to be able to fuse with many, it is impossible for now, as the tax that this would put into the minds of the fused would be quite large, to the point that they would not be able to completely grasp their own power.


This would either end in their death or a great weakening of their souls and bodies, forcefully being separated…


The limit of fusions is around three to four people at most… But there might be a higher amount as I improve the equipment with the rest of my family.


If Blaze could be here to help us with her Divine Fire, things would surely be easier, but she is still sleeping inside her egg with Lazuli, and they are not being born anytime soon.


I am also planning in upgrading my equipment to have Fusion properties, alongside the mechanical transformation bodysuits effects.


I am even planning in making them be possessed by special Divine Soul Clones, so I would become my equipment itself… crazy, isn"t it?


And well, there is also the possibility of crafting my own weapons as well… But for now, Gungnir and the Hephaestus Hammer are good enough for me.


Hm, I got a lot of amazing Skills and upgrades of old skills, my power has skyrocketed quite a lot, I would like to try these powers out soon.


I also have many items that I want to check out within my Inventory… Specially Evolution Radishes, which could enhance the power of my summoned and tamed monsters, who had already received a strong boost in my latest Cla.s.s Changes.


As I woke up from my bed, I quickly took a bath with my wives and my children.


The warm water and the relaxed atmosphere were soothing to my heart, as the bubbles and the enriching smell of many soaps made in my Empire through the use of fragrant flowers produced by Dryads filled the bathroom.


Quinn, the little Divine Beast Bee Empress that had been born from the egg I acquired from the reward loot boxes had already been absorbed by the family and was now being washed by me and my children in the bathroom.


Only a few days had gone by since her birth, but she already had grown a few centimeters, seemingly as if she had aged at least one or two years… However, she was still rather small and cute.


"Bbbzz…" she muttered, her face was very red as she glanced at my body intensively, maybe she was realizing the size difference between us two? Certainly, the bodies of an adult and a toddler are quite different.


"What are you wondering about, little girl?"


I grabbed her with my arms as I began to carefully wash her body with a fragrant soap, which she did not seem to like that much. Her wings were also being washed. Ah, warm water did not affect them or something, I guess because they are the body parts of a Divine Beast.


Her blonde hair went perfectly with some honey and more soap, alongside the prototype shampoo that we had been devising in the Empire, leaving her hair s.h.i.+ny, firm, silky, and beautiful.


"Raise your arms…" I said, as Quinn raised her little arms, using soap, I washed her armpits and then her chest and belly, going down to her little legs and feet.


The areas of her body that were covered in exoskeleton were easy to wash, as they only needed me to gently pa.s.s the sponge over them to take out any waste, although I needed to be very gentle if I didn"t want to damage her, as her exoskeleton was still young and not as hard as a fully grown adult.


"What a good little girl…" I said with a smile, kissing Quinn"s forehead.


"Ma… Mama!" she said, raising her arms towards my b.r.e.a.s.t.s with an innocent smile.


"Ah, you want more milk? Fufu, you"re a very voracious girl… Sigh, alright,"


I could not resist such an adorable little girl asking me to breastfeed her, as I raised her into my chest and gave her some milk, she immediately began to suck in one of my b.r.e.a.s.t.s, draining the nutritious milk filled with vitamins and a fruit-like flavor I have carefully designed within my body.


Such milk was only made for my children, and it was not sold anywhere else…


Although I had some Slime or Flesh Clones that generated my milk, which was the most requested food within my entire Empire… It seems that it had a strong addictive effect, and most of my citizens desired it above any other type of milk.


However, I made sure to distribute that "lower quality milk in small portions, as I did not want for the other milk produces of my Empire to lose their jobs, such as you Minotaur, Holstaur, and many other girls who collectively sold their milk.


Quinn began to squeeze the b.r.e.a.s.t.s she was not drinking milk from as she relaxed, closing her eyes as she drank my milk voraciously… She was as lively as ever, which means that she must be growing strong.


I wonder what awaits her future.


I am sure that it will be quite great, as she possesses something special within her soul.


I still cannot fathom what it is, but each time she is close to me and we connect each other through my breastfeeding, her divine soul slowly seeps into mine.


Is she doing this intentionally or unintentionally?


She is very young, so I would a.s.sume she doesn"t know, but what we are doing could be akin to cultivation.


She is showering my soul with her Divine Soul, and I am giving her back my power through the same method, our souls are like covering each other constantly whenever I am breastfeeding her.


Perhaps this is what soothes her so much to be so happy and relaxed with me?


And well, this power that she is giving me is… Very intriguing.


I can"t still understand it, it is not like any other Attribute I"ve ever touched or seen before.


Just what is her Divinity even about? It is very mysterious…


It is like a white and pale blue energy, an ethereal essence that showers my own soul.


This power seems to slightly resemble the feeling I get when I glance at the System.


The System itself, even if it looks like a game thing, it is physical, and it even has a trail, scent, and a "feeling" when you use it.


After all, from what I have heard from the G.o.ds and also from all the info I have inside of my head extracted from the minds of the G.o.ds I have eaten, the System is made up through Divine Energy and other energies, materialized and constructed over itself millions of times, it could be said to be something like a physical manifestation of an incredibly complex computer.


And her soul "feels" and "smells" similar to it.


Maybe I am simply looking for clues in coincidences?


Because it is becoming more and more apparent to me that Quinn has… a Divinity related to the System.


Well, there is nothing much I can do for now.


She is too young, lacks much awareness of her own capabilities alongside many other things, so she seems to not be capable of understanding her own divinity.


And I do not want to force her because, even if the time has been short, I already see her as my beloved daughter.


Perhaps the breastfeeding and the pa.s.sive cultivation that we do have forged out emotional bonds a lot, she is way too precious now to force her to do anything that could bring her discomfort.


So for now, I will let her discover these things on her own, and whenever she needs my a.s.sistance, I will help her.


Though that does not mean that I will not do my best to foment her growth and intelligence so we can get to it a bit quicker.


For now, the thing she likes the most is my milk, so I could use this to make her do other things such as trying to socialize more with my children, as she seems quite asocial, only wanting to be embraced in hugs and being given milk.


Sigh.


Well, she"s drinking milk now, so I better not bother her…


"Mother how is Quinn?" asked Aarae, who was at my back, using the sponge to scratch my back with it while was.h.i.+ng it with warm water.


"Ah, my dear, that feels nice… Oh, and little Quinn is currently drinking milk… She couldn"t wait any longer…" I said.


"E-Eh? She couldn"t wait for us to finish our bath? …She is really obsessed with it," said Aarae with a bitter smile.


"Indeed… Oh? Do you want to drink some milk too? There is a free breast here…" I said teasingly.


"Ueeh…?! No, mother, I am a grown-up now! I-I don"t drink milk anymore…" said Aarae with a shy blush, he was my adorable little boy.


"Fufu, I know, I know. You have grown a lot already, huh? I still remember when you were a tiny little baby… My little and cute shark… Ah, well you still are, of course," I said.


"It feels like ages since then…" said Aarae.


"It really feels like that for you? Even though a year has not happened yet?" I asked Aarae.


"Hm, it is a weird feeling, but I guess that is part of my race trait of growing fast…" said Aarae.


"I see, so time does feel a bit weird for you? This is… Well, I am glad that it didn"t felt rushed in your mind," I said.


"Ah, well, it"s not like I see everything going super slow or something! A-Anyways, can you wash my tail?" asked Aarae, moving her tail.


"Sure thing, my love," I said, as I generated a few more arms and began to scratch Aarae"s shark tail, his scales were falling apart, which meant that he was changing them.


"O-Ouch…"


"Here, let mommy pour some of her special lotions for irritation," I said, using one of my fingers to secret a slimy fluid that calmed irritation and smelled fragrant.


I used it to wash his tail and the areas where the scales had fallen, there were some areas where there was only skin, and the scales were slowly growing, so I had to be extra careful there…


"Haah… It feels way better now…" said Aarae.


"Glad to help, my dear. By the way, has your accessory, the one containing the soul of the Merman Old Ancestor woken up yet?" I asked. I remember giving Aarae an accessory with the soul of this old man, which would help him in practicing magic.


"Yeah, he had helped me a bit lately, although he sounds like an annoying old man…"


"He is the one who killed Belle, so it is a fitting punishment to become that," I said.


"A-Ah well, yeah, I can silence him any time I want so it is fine…" laughed Aarae.


Belle who was near us being washed by Adelle suddenly asked me.


"Merfolk Old Ancestor?"


"Hm? Ah, not you, Belle. There was another Belle, the one that we named you after. She was a Princess of Aquaria… She died due to unforeseen circ.u.mstances that I would not prevent. Up to this day, I feel a lot of remorse for not having been capable of helping her… We named you as Belle after her," I said.


"O-Oh… I see…" said Belle.


"I hope she is fine, whenever she is…" said Adelle with a bit of melancholy in her eyes.


"I am sure that she will be mother…" said Belle with a smile.


For some reason, her innocent and bright smile reminds me a lot about that Belle…


"Nii-chan, wash my hair!" said Belle, as Aarae was called by his little sister.


"Ah, alright…" said Aarae with a gentle smile, gently was.h.i.+ng Belle"s hair, as I and Adelle watched.


As I was taking the relaxing bath, I was called telepathically by Gaia and Hydros through our Soul Bond, who was recently within Agatheina"s Divine Realm chatting with the G.o.ds.


"Kireina-sama, Levana-san had brought a few visits…" said Gaia.


"Hm? Who could they be?" I asked.


"They are two very noisy Beast DemiG.o.ddess, one is a rat and the other a turtle? I think…" said Hydros.


"A rat and a turtle…?"
