I woke up rather good today, feeling amazing, in fact.

I guess my soul had finally managed to properly assimilate all the power I got yesterday after a good night's sleep.

The Lower Realm has a ceiling that is made of crystals that shine around the same time as the day comes, and stop when night comes.

Nonetheless, even at night, the giant lava pools everywhere and other strange liquids always keep the environment rather bright, but we still managed to sleep pretty well.

Ah, it's good to just… be alive.

Yesterday… too many things happened.

But now that I got time to relax after such things, I really can't help but… appreciate life a lot.

I love to live…

Yeah, it sounds stupid and even na?ve, most people that have horrible lives would actually want to die… But I don't.

I just want to live and be… I don't know, okay?

Anyways, enough stupidity, time to assess the elephant in the room.

Their residual minds and wills appeared in the World of Rebirth and were pretty confused at first.

Unlike the demon gods who actively tried to kill me, these guys were overall innocent.

But I ate them anyway because I wanted power, can you blame me?

Don't worry I will revive them… if they want to.

And… they do not want to.

They are actually happy living with their family in this world, so I will let them be.

Oh yeah, the residual minds and wills of Gods I ate go to this new world, a skill I just made in the middle of a fight, I do not know how I exactly did it, but it seems that some of the power to manipulate the system was already leaking into that one body I had while the other digested the Origin Core Fragment, so perhaps I did it with this?

I cannot really tell what is truly happening, but I suppose that when I put all my will into it, Skills can emerge.

I guess that's part of being a god-like being.

What if that is the next step?

Crafting Skills…

To make any Skill I need at the moment… or to make them specifically for a task…

Well, that sounds amazing, can I do that?

I mean, I got the System manipulation, and… yeah, I think I actually can…

This is pretty insane.

Anyways, I quickly wake up and teleport to the surface, there is a new ally coming today, Cyrene, the wife of Apollo!

Well, her soul is technically a clone of mine, so yeah, she is not really the actual Cyrene.

The actual Cyrene is all happy-go-lucky inside the World of Rebirth.

Oh yeah, Geggoron appeared here.

I had thought about making him disappear, but I thought it again, and I let him be.

Now that he's sane, he had become an actually pretty calm guy.

Anyways, back to the main topic, Cyrene.

"Oh my, early as ever- Eh? You're nude," said Cyrene.

"Ah?"

Oops, I guess I didn't put on clothes when I woke up…

"Well it doesn't really matter at this point, grab my hand," I said.

"Alright, do as you please main body…" sighed Cyrene, as we teleported to the 'sky' above my Empire in the Lower Realm.

"You already know what happened, I feel like I don't need to explain it again to you, right?" I asked.

"No, no, don't worry… Anyways, should I go looking like this? I mean, Cyrene is supposedly eaten by you so…" said Cyrene.

"Hm, perhaps you should just fuse back with me," I said.

"Well, to tell you the truth, I developed my own ego… Can I go free?" asked Cyrene.

"Hmmm…" I g.r.o.a.n.e.d as I glanced at my clone.

She gave me the puppy eyes.

Ugh.

"Sigh, alright, alright, stop giving me that look…" I said.

"Nice! So what do I do? Should I take into another appearance?" asked Cyrene.

"No… Stay as you are, so I can easily recognize you…" I said.

"Oh alright then… Though I am going to take a more gothic look," said Cyrene, as her hair was dead black and her eyes gleamed crimson red, her skin turned pale white, and her clothes changed into a beautiful black and gothic dress.

"This should do," she said.

"Oh, technically, Cyrene's body was converted in some kind of Dhampir because you drank her blood right?" I asked.

"Yeah, this is kind of my actual appearance except for the dyed hair," said Cyrene.

"Alright, now that you're done here go join the other Gods," I said, sending her off as Agatheina greeted her quickly after, making Cyrene enter her Divine Realm.

Having been done with this issue, I went back to my castle.

It was around 7 AM…

I wanted to sleep a few more hours with my wives, so I just went back to bed.

Yeah, let me be lazy for once, will you?

…

Ah, I am awake.

I slept for… SEVEN HOURS?!

It is already 2 PM and most of my family is having breakfast while I was dozing off in bed…

Actually, why are they having breakfast so late?!

Perhaps I am not so insane as I thought!

…Maybe they slept as much as me, or just a tiny bit more.

Well, whatever.

Oh, my babies are here~

"Mommy, you're awake!" said Scarlet, jumping over me, she was playing with her siblings over the large bed.

"Mama! You slept a lot! Were you tired?" asked Nirah, coiling her snake tail around me immediately alongside Scarlet, making me all wrapped up… but not like I don't like it.

"Indeed… I think I overslept…" I said while yawning.

"Mommy, let's go eat together!" said Belle, as she flapped her wings and flew over my head with her little body, slapping me accidentally with her fishtail.

Slap.

"Hey, what was that for?" I asked teasingly.

"A-Ah! S-Sorry! It wasn't my intention…" said Belle.

"Hehe, don't worry, I was just joking," I said, petting Belle and kissing her forehead, Belle gave me a warm smile as she hugged me back.

Even after knowing that she was the reincarnation of someone, the bond we had forged as mother and daughter was still there.

The same was for Nirah who was formerly Megusan.

Hm… talking about Megusan.

"Nirah-chan, how's Tail-chan?" I asked, my eyes gleaming eerily as Nirah seemed a bit nervous…

"A-Ah, mama… P-Please don't… don't kill Tail-chan!" asked Nirah, as she hugged her Snake-headed tail.

"Ungh…! So you already know that I am the former Megusan's remnant mind! Nirah, there is no point in protecting me, I and Kireina fought to death once! She d.e.s.i.r.es to take me down, it is completely understandable… And I am no longer as strong as I used to be… Let me go," said Megusan's voice within Nirah's tail.

"But Tail-chan, I know all of that! I already have all my previous life memories…" said Nirah.

"Even then, they do not feel like yours, right? Although you feel like you did them, it feels fantastical and surreal. This is because you are you, Nirah! I have given up on taking over your body… You have become a superior version of me in every way… I am destined to be killed, this is my fate! I fought and I died! I will no longer evade my demise…" said Megusan, glancing at me with conviction on his snake eyes.

"Do it… but make sure to not… hurt Nirah…" said Megusan.

It seems that he grew attached to her at the end, what a surprising turn of events.

So the former Megusan did develop feelings at the end, huh?

I guess every Demon God can be smothered when they are left completely powerless, I guess.

…Well, isn't that any person?

"Nooo! Please, mama… Don't… Tail-chan… It is my former self but… he's… he has protected me and watched over me… He's a nice person now!" said Nirah, putting herself in front of her snake-headed tail, and hugging it.

"Nirah…" muttered Megusan rather emotionally.

Sigh…

What am I going to with them?

Simply cannot force me to do something that will make Nirah this upset…

"Ugh, fine… I cannot fathom hurting my little daughter… However, Megusan, you better behave. If I discover you have been manipulating Nirah for some kind of evil plan, you are not getting another chance. And let me tell you that I will know, oh yes, I will know for sure if that even fathoms to cross your tiny mind… You hear me?" I said, intimidating the living shit out of Megusan until he became completely passive.

"Y-Yes… I… I… understand…" he sighed.

"T-Then… is it okay to keep Tail-chan, mama?" asked Nirah.

"Sigh… Yes, it is, make sure to not let yourself be influenced if he says anything weird, alright? And if he does, tell me immediately!" I said.

"Okay!" said Nirah with a smile, as I grabbed her with my arms and carried her as my baby, although she had now grown up quite a lot.

"Mommy, was Megusan your former enemy?" asked Belle.

"Yeah… Kind of… He was the first God I ate!" I said.

"T-That's a bit creepy… wait, and Nirah is… like his reincarnation or something?" asked Belle.

"Well… she is a part of his remnant Divine Soul Fragment, which was implanted on an egg that his mortal vessel laid, she was reborn as a baby, as Nirah, without her memories. So she just developed as a new person," I said.

"I am me!" said Nirah.

"…Was I the first God you ate? Really? That makes it seem as if our bond were to be more special than I imagined," said Megusan.

"I don't think that can be considered a bond…" I said.

"R-Right… Never mind…" said Megusan.

"Mommy, can I drink milk?" asked Scarlet.

"Milk…? But aren't you quite big? Ah, why am I even asking? Of course, you can my dear," I said, as I offered one of my b.r.e.a.s.ts to Scarlet, and sat down on the bed, she immediately began to drink rather fast, she seemed hungry.

"Masta, good morning!" said Rimuru and the rest of my wives and children greeted me, aside from Nirah, Belle, and Scarlet, the rest of them were all on the table.

"Good morning… I think I felt like you woke in the middle of the morning… did you teleport somewhere? Your presence disappeared for some time," said Brontes.

"Ah, you're sharp Brontes-chan… Indeed, Cyrene, one of the Gods we 'killed' and also one of my parasitic clones came here, she joined Agatheina and the other bunch of Gods," I said.

"Oh, so that's how it is, you teleported to pick her up?" asked Nesiphae.

"Yeah… Now she is with Agatheina and- Agatheina thought that she was like a True Body Clone, so she had to explain to her that she was not actually me anymore," I said.

"Ugh… That is some confusing clone stuff I do not want to delve into, Honey," said Zehe, as everyone released a chuckle.

"Hmmm… I wonder how all of Kireina's clones feel, especially those separated from her as individuals…" said Alice, asking something… rather smart.

I actually never thought how they felt…
