I wake up to having broken yet another seal from my main body, this time it was a bit swifter but not that much of a difference. I quickly seal my main body and part of my soul again to begin acquiring more proficiency.

Also, I leveled up again… Now it is really going quite fast, thanks to the Experience Points Hoarder Title…

But it feels as if this title were specifically made for me due to its ridiculous conditions… it is as if the System Gods knew that I would be the only one capable of getting it…

Well, it is a big help, so thanks a lot guys… whenever you are or whoever you are.

Will I be leveling every day now? Perhaps it might slow down again at some point.. or maybe speed up? It depends on how many people I can gather to worship me alongside gathering strong monsters to slay with my true body clones.

As of now, I am constantly slaying dungeon bosses inside of my dungeons through my true body clones, and all of those Experience Points are added into the amount I get each day I wake up, so do not call me lazy, I am working very hard.

But I still need to go faster, things are moving way too fast around the entire Realm and the world, and I fear that I might not be able to catch up with the power of such threats…

So, I need to find some quick methods to grow strong, one of them is conquering Dungeons.

Now that I am a Dungeon, and I have connected myself with my main Dungeon and the Dream Dungeon, I can gain power as long as they are connected and fused with more Dungeons.

Get it?

And just yesterday the Slime Family, the Wyvern Family, the Spirits, and the Monkeys came back from their respective dungeons.

Now that they are done, I have gathered a lot of info about these Dungeons, which I am planning to conquer right about now.

Yep, we are all traveling to Ollathir's Territory at this very moment through the flying golem Led Zeppelin, who had recently gotten some new updates and it now looks like a futuristic spaceship.

Ah, yeah, of course, I could simply travel here through the Spatial Layers, but where is the fun in that? This is also a family trip, so I want my family to enjoy the scenery.

We glanced through the windows of Led Zeppelin at the territory.

"Woah! It's so dark and arid!" said Vudia.

"Indeed, it is like a desert but made out of gray dirt and rocks!" said Ailine.

"This place looks terrible for my skin… I will dehydrate very quickly…" said Aarae.

"But Aarae, you can just use magic to permeate your skin!" said Gaby.

"Oh, right… I guess it doesn't matter," said Aarae.

"There are a lot of tasty-looking monsters going down there, and in the sky, I think I even saw a Dragon!" said Valentia.

"Hm? New Dragon meat to taste? I can't wait!" said Nirah.

"Ah, those things down there look pretty disgusting…" said Belle.

"Oh? Yeah… those things are like blobs of black flesh," said Amiphossia.

"Ah, my homeland, it has been a long time since I've seen it… It is just as I remember, a wasteland," said Zehe.

"Do you feel any attachment to this place?" I asked Zehe.

"Hm? Not really, it is just a wasteland… But to be honest, it still brings some strange feeling of nostalgia, despite being a pretty ugly place compared to our Empire…" said Zehe.

"Well, you were born here and also spent the majority of your life here until we meet," I said.

"Hm, it still brings some 'good' memories, but only amidst the many horrible ones, ugh, anyways, this is present so remembering all of that would be useless!" said Zehe.

"Indeed, let's enjoy the trips around,"

The Ollathir Territory was literally that, a wasteland. It was a desertic and arid place that had this gray-colored dust, which is most likely ashes from the active volcanoes a bit farther from here.

The place is mostly made out of large canyons made with hard black and gray-colored rocks, covered in strange black crystals, and filled with endless underground cave sections, there were also many abandoned temples and ruins of ancient civilizations that existed here even before Ollathir.

The sky was always cloudy and there were thunder falling from the sky every so often, there was also a mildly strong wind, and if you were too far from the volcanoes, it was way too cold, but if you were near them, there was too much heat.

It was indeed quite the chaotic domain, it surprises me that the Ollathir Kingdom flourished in such wastelands for so long, but it mostly attributed to the wicked rituals they did for Hel and also the dungeons they had which provided them with resources without having to actually have plantations or farming.

Ollathir used to be a military and war-oriented Kingdom of conquerors, they liked to conquer other lands and bring resources from them to sustain themselves. According to Redgaria, in the past, they had many vassal nations that brought them fresh vegetables and cattle, amongst other things.

This land seemed to have once flourished with life, but after the volcanoes began to erupt, it quickly became a wasteland, and the mana on its surroundings began to concentrate within the heat of the eruptions, converting into the miasma, which made everything worst to an extent.

Now, only monsters and undead roam these lands.

To the sky, we see giant wyverns and lesser dragons nesting within the undying dark clouds, and to the ground, large behemoths are making their home within the depths of the caves.

Since Redgaria left this place, it seems that it had swarmed with monsters everywhere, so I asked Led Zeppelin to dispose of anything that dared to cross our path, which happened a lot.

Enormous, Black-scaled Lesser Dragons that breathed black flames often came to attack us, alongside with Lesser Windstorm Dragons those bodies were long like snakes.

Their black flames breath and their windstorm breaths were not much of a threat against us, and their bodies were quickly made into a pulp by Led Zeppelin's lasers and cannons.

And from the ground, there would be giant creatures seemingly made entirely out of twisting black flesh and possessing countless eyes across their bodies, which were named 'Lesser Flesh Aberrations'. They moved in enormous colonies with a 'Queen' the size of Led Zeppelin or even bigger.

We also took them out without taking a sweat, and I made sure to eat a bunch of them alongside the Dragons, I did not get any Skill though, but their taste was peculiar.

"There is a crap ton of abandoned ruins and temples around here! Which one is a Dungeon?" asked Oga.

"There are around thirty dungeons, but only eighteen have a Mana Core according to the Slime Family girls, so we'll take a route around each dungeon. Ah, don't worry, these are pretty small, the biggest one has up to three Bosses, and we will go through the easy ones first, that only have around four floors and one Dungeon Boss," I said.

"Thirty Dungeons?! Well, eighteen… ah, but that is still a ton! We'll take more than a day around here…" said Oga.

"Don't worry, you all can travel back home at any time, I will be the one staying here mostly, but you can feel at ease to do as you please," I said.

"Ah, no! I did not mean that! I want to go with you, of course, Kireina-sama!" said Oga.

"Then you shouldn't be complaining so much, Oga," said Brontes.

"Well, it still quite the big trip around, isn't it?" said Nesiphae.

"Yeah, pretty long~," said Gaby.

"Hm, so many little dungeons!" said Lilith.

"Although most of them seem to harbor disgusting creatures," said Nefertiti.

"They're all somehow around the biome of this territory, so they're gloomy and disgusting…" said Nixephine.

"The little monsters aren't even a treat, but if there is a Boss, we might get some prizes through the System nonetheless!" said Kaguya.

"Hm, that's a good thing, I am looking forward to showcasing my powers to Master," said Kjata with a cute smile.

"Hey, me too!" said Nereid.

"We have gotten a bit stronger, let's show the girls what we are made of~!" said Smilkas.

"Y-Yes, I will do my best!" said Ocypete.

"All of you girls seem spirited, I am glad," I said.

"Although we are way too many, wouldn't these trips be super easy though? Some of these Dungeons are so little that we will end up filling the places entirely, ohohoho!" laughed Acelina.

"Hm, maybe we should separate?" asked Ismena.

"But the point of this was a trip with our wife!" said Adelle.

"I can always divide my body so we can all go together, even if we separate in groups… and actually, that's a good idea, let's do just that!" I said.

"Eh!? Really? My idea is good?" asked Ismena.

"Yeah, it's quite efficient…" said Altani.

"So in how many groups we'll divide?" asked Sofarpia.

"I want to go with my sister, of course!" said Sofelaia.

"I don't mind going with anyone~," said Acelina.

"I wanna go with mom!" said Vudia.

"Me too, me too!" said Ailine.

"Oh my, I guess our children can accompany us, gu," said Rimuru.

"Chupi, it would have been quite the mess if my harpy came here… It is a good thing that they preferred to stay at home for today," said Nephiana.

"Mama! Kill monsters for you, I will!" said Marduk, as his tentacles with the heads of dragons roared.

"Let's hunt, let's hunt!" said Nanshe.

"Hunting time~ Woof!" said Nammu.

Marduk, Nanshe, and Nammu had decided to come with us on this trip, accompanying Mady through the division of groups. Ah, they had gotten better at talking now, as they can form basic words around.

And about the rest of the kids, Habitis, Ophois, and Maahes stayed at home, the same for Quin, who is peacefully drinking milk from one of my True Body Clones back home… Ah, since she woke up that she has not let go of my b.r.e.a.s.ts, my milk seems to give her great amounts of nutrition.

Anyways, after dividing myself five times, my stats lowered a lot, but I had such a high amount that it really did not matter much.

The groups did not have any particular order nor sense behind their creation, as it was merely as the girls wanted them to be.

The groups were as follows:

Group 1: Rimuru, Ailine, Sofelaia, Sofarpia, Alice, Jonette (accompanying Alice everywhere).

Group 2: Brontes, Vudia, Mady, Marduk, Nanshe, Nammu, Oga.

Group 3: Nesiphae, Amiphossia, Amiphossia's party, Evan, Nirah, Adelle, Belle, Ismena, Acelina.

Group 4: Zehe, Ryo, Lilith, Charlotte, Nanako, Nixephine, Nefertiti, Ocypete, Smilkas.

Group 5: Gaby, Aarae, Valentia, Altani, Nephiana, Kaguya, Nereid, Kjata.

The group's quantity of members was not even either, but it was not as if anyone cared about it, it was simply to divide work but not so much thought was put into it past the 'separate' part.

I gathered with each group as we set off, running towards each nearest dungeon.

The first of the list that I managed to get in first was the Dungeon named the 'Poisonous Swap of Necrotic Dead', it was a small dungeon made entirely out of black and gray-colored bricks, whose corridors were illuminated by the dim light of blue flames stuck into the walls.

The entire environment was gloomy, and it smelled quite bad, as the water below our feet seemed to be toxic, the monsters in here were all monstrous fishes and frogs, some of them were Undead, and could produce poison or had quite the strong bites…

Of course, this group that I came with had Rimuru and Ailine, alongside the rest, we made quick work of any threats.

Sofelaia and Sofarpia didn't like to touch the poison, despite being quite immune to it already, so they were simply floating over it through the 'Flight' Spell.

They showcased their abilities a lot, and I realized how much they had grown since back then, they were very admirable fighters and also incredibly pretty girls, whose beauty just became greater when they fought.

Alice came with Jonette this time, and I was able to see both of their combined work in battle, Alice used her Thunder and Blood Attribute attacks in combination with Jonette's Dark and Blood Attribute Magic, devastating the large groups of measly monster that crossed our path.

Jonette also showcased her sift movements and her ability to wield daggers quite masterfully, her butler suit was also very tight over her body, and when she got all wet, it made for an e.r.o.t.i.c scene…

Anyways, the Boss of this Dungeon was a giant, around twenty-meter-tall walking fish with the shape of a Piranha Fish, with giant human-like limbs covered in hard scales, two arms, and two legs, which made for quite the comedic appearance.

Although it looked funny, it was quite speedy and its jaws held great strength and ferocity, I let my wives weaken it with their weakest attacks, and then I finished it off by impaling its head with one of my spears.

We continued with each of my family members going through every small dungeon, that didn't take much to work with. Each group ended up completing around three dungeons each, with the last group completing four instead.
