Chapter 617 - Visiting The Abyssal Continent

-----

After the Abyssal Miasma feast, the split souls and her friends and allies made a little feast with the Gods, Kesheia was one of the happiest within this little feast, as she had finally been completely lifted off her big responsibility, as the only Goddess of life that could purify this place.

"Although I had really thought that Ervas would use his life divinity to purify it… but you just ate it?!" asked Chaneyr.

"As I stated earlier, it was simpler to devour it than to purify it. Although purifying was within my grasp as well, devouring it would give more power than just purifying it." Said Ervas.

"Interesting! And this beautiful purple and black slime girl at your side… did she evolve from Aqua?" asked Phunana.

"Yeah, I am Aqua! I changed a bit… But I am still the same as ever though, gubo." Said Aqua while eating a giant grilled bird monster, apparently a being at Rank 26.

Aqua's appearance was still a cute slime girl, but her color was no longer aquamarine, and were shrouded with darkness and purple colors within her semi-transparent and watery slime body! She also had a gleaming red core in the middle of her chest, and within her belly there was a small slime slowly growing… this was Veronica's and her baby, of course. Those nights of passion didn't go for nothing.

"Is that a Demon Goddess?" wondered Razdall.

"N-No, I am a former Light Attribute Spirit, lord Razdall. My name is Shade." Said Shade shyly.

"Wait, that's Shade?!" asked Uphy.

"She had gotten quite sexy." Admitted Tevra.

"My Shade has always been sexy!" said Veronica.

"Well yes, we are not denying that…" said Nymera.

"I didn't expected the Gods to be so attentive of Shade, does she has fans?" asked Anna.

"N-not at all!"

"We are just… erm…"

"They seem to just be interested in Veronica's family members, so they always keep an eye on." Explained Chaneyr.

"Oh, I see, so that's how it is!" laughed Veronica.

"I think you should be more worried than that but whatever…" sighed Anna.

Alongside them, Kuro had also become a Great Goddess despite her very young age! She had become an even stronger mommy's favorite girl.

Her appearance had changed slightly, her phantasmal upper half had become very realistic, her materialization power was now able to easily emulate even flesh, her lower half had become more advanced in its metallic department and had even included mechanical pieces now, which her mother had custom made for her which she had improved. So now Kuro was like a transformer if she wanted!

And yeah. The miasma made her hair darker and longer, and even gave her a third eye in the middle of her forehead, alongside a few black tattoos across her body.

"Mama, I also got stronger though!" she had said.

"I know dearie. You've become mama's favorite." Said Veronica, making use of the last days where she could say this honestly before her other children were to be born…

"Yaay! But don't say that in front of my little siblings later…" whispered Kuro to Veronica's ears.

"Hahaha! Sure…"

After the large feast. The split souls spent a whole week inside their Divine Realms preparing things out, and then, decided to move on into the Abyssal Continent, another place that was yet to be discovered by them.

Through Aurora's teleportation, they reached the place in a mere instant, finding the enormous chaotic mayhem within this whole place.

They flew across the vast skies of various and strange colors. The miasma of this place had made both the ground and the sky strange, monsters emerged out of thin air constantly and natural disasters happened every second, it was a land of complete madness!

The split souls opened their divine realm portals as large armies of their allies came, now as Gods or Demigods, they were strong enough to fight these mosntrosities in groups, the stronger monsters were not even present, however, as those were hiding beneath the dungeons, the gigantic never-ending dungeons of this Abyssal Continent.

As the large army fought for EXP against the endless waves of monsters of higher Ranks than 30, the split souls looked around the entire place.

"So this is where the Demon God King was born… I wonder if there could eb any Demon God living in here? How about Demon God King Fragments?" asked Veronica.

Ervas squinted his eyes as he glared all around.

"There are around 6 Demon Gods living all around the continent, they are living peacefully thought, and are not that strong to be honest, bothering them would be unnecessary for now… And about Demon God King fragments, there are a few of them in several areas, can you sense them?" asked Ervas.

"I do!" said Veronica.

"Then let's go pick them up for now, I am rather eager to acquire their power."

Ervas and Veronica flew into the continent and abused Aurora's Teleportation too, catching several Demon God Fragments that had been possessing powerful monsters for eons, acting as wild animals most of the time.

The fragments they acquired merged with their already existing ones quite easily, and although they didn't offered much change as they had already eaten all those of Mirror Kritias, it was still a fine boost to their stats permanently.

Additionally, the party had grinded some more EXP and had leveled up a lot!

Like this, the days continued within the Abyssal Continent and Ervas and Veronica had leveled up a bit more, although now that they had cleaned the entire surface off monsters, the only thing left was the underground dungeons!

As the many armies of allies and friends continuously grinded EXP in these terrifying dungeons and brought back great quantities of monster corpses to eat and make equipment of, the split souls phantom clones were aiding them and therefore helping the main bodies earn EXP passively.

The accumulation of EXP from all points was slowly making them level up some more, although it was usually one to two levels every 5 days, or week, at this pace, they could easily sit down and relax to get stronger…
