Chapter 500 - Chaotic Divine Realm

After leaving Agatheina contact Nyzzet, I spent a few hours with my family while also preparing everything for the celebration of Truhan and Celica"s child that I promised.
"Master Kireina, is it really fine to… celebrate this with such a big event?" asked Truhan, he seemed a bit fl.u.s.tered.
"Don"t worry about that, I do this for each of my children that are born. Why wouldn"t I do it for yours?"
"I see… I shouldn"t have asked then… is there something I can help in the meantime?" asked Truhan.
"How about you go hunt for some meat for the celebration? Go have some fun in the dungeon so you can calm down a bit, you can bring your party if you want, but Celica seems to want to rest for now," I said.
"Oh right! I will bring the biggest prey for my wife! I"ll be back, Master!" roared Truhan as he ran towards the dungeon.
Meanwhile, Celica was together with my wives, which were talking about many things about pregnancy and such… I was also with them with one of my bodies, the one carrying the child inside my womb.
Talking about it, it had begun to grow a lot lately, although it is strangely not asking for food. However, I still decided to keep eating without stopping with that body, so the baby could be nourished constantly.
"Hey listen! Are you forgetting about me?"
And about Blaze, I have decided to lend her a body of mine.
She was now residing inside one of my true body clones, it was temporary until I could create her a new physical body.
Blaze"s physiology was incredibly unique, and she seemed to not be able to exist outside of Divine Realms, in the mortal world she would dissipate. This is why she needs to be with my soul, using my body as a vessel.
I could also leave her inside the fragmented Divine Realm that I have not explored yet, the Soul World or the Dream World, but I fear that she might go crazy there and do some destructions to the inhabitants…
She was using one of my split bodies as a vessel, which through her influence, had changed in appearance and shape to match her "style". It still had most of my features… but the skin had become pale red, the purple hair converted into orange, yellow, and scarlet flames and the fairy wings became red and blazing. The skin was also covered in gold tattoos, replacing the ones I had.
"I am not forgetting about you, Blaze, it has been a mere minute since I stopped glancing at you. I am rather busy right now, so do not be like this, okay?"
"Okay… Sorry, I think I am just nervous… I have never had a body before! I can now walk and… eat things! But I am also anxious about doing all of that…"
I kind of understand why her father got a bit angry at her, she likes to get on the nerves of others, huh?
"Well, let"s go around the city, I will present it to you," I said, creating a new body which I used to go with her through the city.
Finally having her out of my sight… or well, she never went away as I am currently with her with my other body, but figuratively out of my sigh, I decided to a.s.sess the new item that had just appeared inside my Item Box.
A zapping, yellow dew, with a strong liquor aroma. Divinity was being released from within.
"Master Kireina, it is done!" said Agatheina within her artifact.
It seems that Nyzzet, the Dragon G.o.d of Thunder gave away a piece of his divinity and successfully joined with the rest of the pantheon.
Although it is only one more, it still a new force added…
Although according to Agatheina, he is cowardly and does not like fighting. Well, he can be useful in other things, I suppose.
His blessings could go well with Brontes, Vudia, Alice, and many others. His children, the Thunder Dragonoid will be moved in groups to my Empire through the rest of the month, so I can have more faith and wors.h.i.+p from them.
He seemed to not like this last idea, as he is rather attached to his children. But after the other G.o.ds scolded him to not be greedy, even more, when he was not going to fight for us at all, he decided to give in as long as we did not do anything bad to his children.
Merveim was the one who convinced him, after shouting to him "If you"re going to be a coward and not fight, at the very least you should be more generous!"
I think that my Empire might be safer than his own Divine Realm.
Anyhow, it was time to have a refres.h.i.+ng and cold divinity drink.
It tasted like lemonade-flavored beer, it was bubbly due to the electricity, but it was also slimy like dew. It was a completely new experience of flavor and texture. A delicacy.
Ding! Ding! Ding!

"A new skill? The Divinity of Thunder might have triggered this, well, I will try it out whenever I have time… For now, I will take a break from preparations, as I"ve commanded most things."
I walked towards my room where I found Mady, Nephiana, Adelle, and many of my children. There, I fell over the bed and decided to inspect my Divine Realm while being covered in the fluffy and colorful feathers of my harpy babies.
Well, it is more like an Inner Realm made by a Fragmented Realm…
It is confusing, let us just check it.
I activated the [Inner World; Fragmented Divine Realm] Skill as a portal to a different and strange s.p.a.ce opened beside me.
Adelle, Nephiana, and Mady, alongside Belle, Nirah, and the seven Harpy chicks glanced at it.
"My wife, what are you doing?" asked Adelle.
"Is that?" asked Mady.
"Hm… it looks… familiar? Wait for a second…" said Nephiana.
I glanced towards the portal to the fragmented Divine Realm.
It was a chaotic sight.
It was not a white s.p.a.ce as I expected… neither it was similar to Geggoron"s Divine Realm before he ate it all.
It was a chaotic landscape covered in many different biomes of all types, converging together in endless maddening chaos.
"So this is how my Divine Realm looks like"
Large volcanoes pointed to the sky while releasing poisonous purple lava. The sky was divided into many colorful clouds, some released acid rain, while others dragon-shaped thunderstorms. Other clouds rained the landscape with sharp sword-shaped jewels of all colors.
There were lakes made out of liquid metal, where strange beings wandered around. Lushy and green forest that was infested with strange beastmen-like chimera monsters.
A phantasmagoric hole filled with countless caves that held jewels and metals of all shapes and sizes and monsters that resembled worms that had dozens of hydra-like heads reigned over this place.
There was a gigantic mountain that held big and crimson red-eye, which if stared enough, would begin to spiral into endless and chaotic dark colors.
Surrounding this eerie mountain there was a group of pink and dark clouds that produced many mirages of all shapes and sizes, fleshy tentacles surged from within as strange portals leading to momentary dream worlds surged one after another.
A vast sea surrounded this "continent", which was made entirely out of crimson blood, and divided into sections, some blood had a darker color and smelled rotten, while another sea was covered in poisonous algae where grotesque and fleshy octopus covered in sharp fangs, and eyes swam through.
In the middle of this "continent," there was the biggest cloud, which spiraled endlessly, it had dark, purple, and red colors, and it seemed to release meteors made out of darkness, blood, and illusion mana from time to time.
In the distance, there was the shadow of a gigantic, over two hundred meters dragon-like being covered in tentacles that flew aimlessly while hunting prey.
The entire Divine Realm was constantly changing from eclipses to dawns, day, and night every minute.
I also noticed many deserts that had constant sandstorms. However, the sand inside was made out of sharp jewels and adamantine-like metals… which were completely slicing in pieces any monster that entered inside.
"WHAT IS THAT?! Get away from that portal, Belle!" shouted Adelle, terrified.
"Chupiiiii! That place is way too chaotic! Terrifying! My chicks come to mommy!" shouted Nephiana.
"Oh my… this is… incredible…" said Mady, with a fascinated look in her eyes.
Belle and the harpy chicks did not obey their mothers as they seemed to be hypnotized by the ever-changing and chaotic madness of this scenery. Everything changed so fast and sporadically that it was entertaining to just sit and watch the chaos unfold.
"This is the Divine Realm I guess," I said.
"I see why it is named "Fragmented"! It is because it made out of all the fragments of divinities you"ve eaten, right?" asked Mady.
"It must be. This should explain the chaotic mess that it is… most of the divinities I have eaten have merged already. This Divine Realm could be something like the representation of my soul made into a landscape…" I said.
"Just how big is this place?" asked Adelle.
"If I extend my consciousness inside this place… it is… very big. It is not as big as the whole border continent nor the central continents or the whole realm… but well, it has the size of a whole state,"
"State?" asked Belle.
Ah, well, they will not understand the size of the US states… but if I could guess how big it is, maybe as big as Texas.
"Never mind, it is very big," I said.
"It"s also very dangerous-looking! How do we plan in exploring this? Mostly anyone that enters there will get killed…" said Adelle.
"Indeed, chupiiii! I won"t enter there!" said Nephiana.
"I would like to, actually, but the climate is too unstable…" said Mady.
"Well, I will explore it for now with my consciousness, and Aura Clones," I said, closing the portal.
Belle, Nirah, and the Harpy Chicks got disappointed as they wanted to see what the giant dragon with tentacles would eat next.
All those new monsters… I should hunt a few and see how they taste, but I will leave this task for another day. I would also like to show this to the G.o.ds and hear their opinions about this, as they are more knowledgeable about Divine Realms than any mortal.
I spent the rest of the day with my family and children, and then we had a big celebration in the entire Empire once again, celebrating Celica"s pregnancy.
Through dinner, Raito announced to everyone that Palami was also pregnant with his child… It was a bit shocking, but it seems that things developed fast in the dungeon between those two.
I also discovered that Asure has a romantic interest in my daughter Valentia… They seem to be doing fine as friends, but I will keep an eye on these two…
[The Levels of the "Eye-Related" Skills have increased!]
Perhaps I used my eyes too much and Asure fell unconscious, oops.
