374 Morpheus's Life-Attribute Dungeon Conquest 19/?: A Surging New Strength

.

.

As Megusan's soul was devoured by my own, I finally had some time to rest. This fight was probably the one where I used most of my unconventional Skill in ways that I never thought possible.

I divided my Soul and body into three and attacked Megusan from different angles with the assistance of my wives inside of each giant body as if they were piloting giant mechs. Their Magic, Techniques, and Skills were reflected upon the Giant Bodies by using Love Connection and other skills.

Dividing my Soul seemed easier than it was before, perhaps because it's already Rank 6, using the Split Soul Spell was easier and less painful.

Megusan was a resilient bastard, and even while having a mortal vessel, it managed to receive several hits before going down. 

However I abused the way he coated his entire body on his Venomous Soul and then used Bacterial Nest to generate special Phantom Soul-eating Bacteria, which could only be born by using my own flesh, blood, and soul which had phantasmal properties and then adding a couple of other Skills like Divinity Devouring to eat a God soul, Phantasmal Symbiosis to merge themselves with Megusan soul, Soul Parasite to take over its soul slowly, Phantom Long Reach to control my Split Souls, which were part of the Phantom Soul-eating Bacteria and my soul effect, Uroboros, which simply lets me devour my soul and then regenerate it back.

Most such Skills were obtained after eating several different species of Ghosts, Phantom, and Undead in the Forsaken Labyrinth. Perhaps without them, I would have still been able to kill it, but with more damage inflicted on me, as long as I had Divinity Devouring, which I obtained after forcefully eating Divine Energy back in the Forsaken Labyrinth a well.

Megusan's soul tasted awful, but it had a certain richness.

My wives helped me out in controlling my split body alongside my split minds. Although I am pregnant, my child does not grow as I grow through shapeshifting, and he stayed in the split body that was the farthest away, being controlled by Nanako, who attacked with powerful Psychic attacks.

The overall teamwork was excellent, and it gave me enough time to buy until I was able to eat a big chunk of Megusan's soul and his powers began to weaken, he wasn't able to cast his Aura as he could anymore and his Magic Points were being drained out.

Perhaps because his soul was torn into pieces before, the pain of his soul became dulled, and due to this, he realized what was going o quite late.

Enraged, it tried to unleash all of its power to destroy all of my split bodies, but he had completely forgotten about Zehe and Rimuru's Transcendental Spell, which summoned a gigantic Claymore of Solidified magic that sliced Megusan's physical vessel and its soul in half.

Megusan's soul was diminished as I saw his existence fade away.

I don't really care about his pasts, or how he lived. Neither I held any particular grudge against him. I'm not killing him because he was Morpheus's and his brother's enemies either.

I just wanted to kill it and eat it and get it off my way.

Ding!

[Calculating EXP gained…]

[Kireina] gained 1.023.550.330.500 EXP!] (From previously slain monsters and Megusan)

[Kireina] gained six levels!]

[LEVEL 072/250 EXP 0.124.036.761.652/335.000.000.000]

[Kireina] acquired the [God Slayer] Title!] 

Killing a Demon Demi-God and eating his soul really give an amazing amount of Experience Points, it was surprising and amusing. Killing gods may be the easiest path to godhood after all.

As I merged once again with my split souls and split bodies, I suddenly felt as if my Soul began to tremble, a strange presence tried to free itself from within.

It was probably Megusan's last will. I quickly counter-attacked by expanding my Soul, adding my Aura into it, and then began to eat my own Soul with Uroboros. I ate every part that seemed to be trying to revel against me, it was rather arduous work, but it seemed to work, as such convulsions quickly disappeared as I digest Megusan over and over.

As I was about to relax, I felt a strong shock of energy cursing through my entire body and soul, resplendent energy that filled my entire existence with vigor. For a moment, it felt as if I was being born anew.

Such fulfilling feeling expanded widely as my Sol grew larger and it expanded through my entire Domain, my wives were enveloped on it as well and received my power.

It was as if my Soul was my original body, while my physical body was something similar to a living suit that it was wearing… it felt incredibly strange, but such feelings slowly faded.

My soul had become vast like an ocean, and it had similar properties than Megusan, it was as if his presence became mine, and part of his memories rushed through my mind, there were also his feelings of hatred or joy, but I suppressed them so they wouldn't alter my own mind, but the information obtained through his memories were… interesting.

I saw how Genesis was before, and countless of Gods fighting against each other in a catastrophic war, Megusan was part of it and survived with the cooperation of other Demon gods… their faces and appearances are blurry and I can't find their names.

Megusan memories have been too fragmented, if I were to try and look over them too much, my mind may be affected.

The cheers of my wives woke me up from my daze, something amazing had just happened.

"Masta, I've received your blessing!" celebrated Rimuru.

"Honey! It's different than the Sin of Lust Blessing or the Blessing of the Chimera Holy Mother… Its as if you were a Goddess!" declared Zehe.

A Goddess? But I haven't reached max level neither a Divine Trial has happened… Could it be? My Soul had become already something akin to a Divine Existence, but my physical body is still that of a mortal… perhaps that could it be. So that powerful and radiant light that enveloped them was part of my soul, a blessing.

"I've gained it as well! The Blessing of Kireina; The Divine Chimera Holy Mother of Lustful Venom!" shouted Nesiphae, as she touched her entire body, which had been strengthened after receiving my Blessing, which effect was still unknown.

"How wonderful… to gain my beloved master's true blessing! I feel like I've gained enlightenment!" shouted Alice, with a fanatical look. 

Wait… Venom?

Ding!

[Kireina] Soul has ranked up to Rank 7; Divine Soul!]

My soul not only had the properties of Chaos, Blood, and Illusion Attribute, but it gained a powerful Poison Attribute effect, causing it to mutate. My Soul was now like a vast, and abyssal viscous liquid of venom, blood, and mirages.

So, this is the power that Megusan had, this is how even his soul was a pure poison that he could coat himself over his body to attack and defend…

Agh! My head! So many skills leveling up at the same time really made me dizzy…

[The Skill [Dungeon Area Assimilation; Level 10] has awakened into the Superior Unique Skill [Labyrinth Manipulation: Level 1]!]

[The Skills [Protector of the Dungeon; Level 5], [Dungeon Energy Absorption; Level 6], [Dungeon Snatch; Level 3], [Automatic Dungeon Mapping; Level 8], [Dungeon Maintenance; Level 6] have been merged with [Labyrinth Manipulation; Level 1]

[The Skill [Labyrinth Manipulation; Level 1] gained nine levels!]

[The Superior Unique Skill [Labyrinth Manipulation; Level 10] has evolved into the Superior Unique Skill [Labyrinth's Sovereign Magic; Level 1]!]

[Labyrinth Sovereign Magic; Level 1/10: A unique type of Magic that only those Gods with a Divinity related to Dungeons possess, no mortals should obtain such a powerful Skill. It grants the ability to manipulate any dungeon that the user has entered and conquered. There are certain limitations in a dungeon that does not belong to the user]

[Spells: [Dungeon Area Assimilation and Manipulation], [Guardian of the Dungeon], [Dungeon Essence Assimilation], [Labyrinth Plunder], [Instantaneous Dungeon Reconnaissance], [Labyrinth Maintenance], [Labyrinth Combination]

This escalated very quickly…

[The Skills [Healing Heavenly Sacred Cooling Sands of Recovery and Regeneration; Level 10], [Heavenly Spiritual Guardian Tattoos; Azure Gemstone Castle Beasts of Protection; Level 10], [Demon Overlord of Lust Omni Elemental Spiritual Barrier Shield of Reflection; Level 10], [Blazing Shield Technique; Lava Guard], [Mystic Golden Light Arts; Unmovable Divine Force Field], and [Shieldbearer] have merged and awakened into the Superior Unique Skill [Transcendental Barrier of Protection and Healing; Aegis; Level 1]!]

[Transcendental Barrier of Protection and Healing; Aegis; Level 1/10: A Skill that represents the Legendary Shield of Zeus, forged by the Cyclops and Hephaestus, The God of Blacksmith and Forgery. No mortal should bear such a Skill. When used, it conjures a colorless and transparent barrier that can be molded as the user's desire, it can be made into the essence for healing and it can shape itself into golems to protect the user's allies]

[Techniques: [Heavenly Recovering Essence], [Ally Barrier], [Barrier Guardian], [Shield Manipulation], [Defense Increase], [Barrier Coating], [Attack Reflection] etc.]

[Cost; Varies]

Aegis! The Shield of Zeus… Does Zeus have such a shield in here? I know that he exists in Genesis, but I'm doubtful that he is the King of Gods in here, seeing how there are Supreme Gods and he's just a God.

[The Skills [Armor Combination; Level 10] and [Heavenly Tyrant Overlord Eight-Armed Indestructible Armor of the Six Chaotic Beasts; Level 3] have merged and awakened into the Superior Unique Skill [Calamity Abyss Demon Skin; Indestructible Armor of the Six Chaotic Fiends; Level 1] [Skin]!]

And another part of the Calamity Abyss Demon set of Skills… my armor became its skin. It made sense in a way, as these armors were made while combining countless scales, skin, exoskeleton, and other skills. And I usually wear it as my skin with my transformation Skills.

All of my wives seemed to have received my superior blessing, which overwrote the previous one they had. There was the possibility of my children also having it now, and perhaps all those who had it back in my Empire.

I decided to go back to my compact original form as my wives left my body through a fleshy gate that I opened on my chest. The domain I had activated slowly dissipated and I saw over the sky as it was still dark, it seems that the artificial sun had already disappeared, and the artificial moon was now in the skies.

My children had reached the Shadow Sphinx City and were calming the big fuss going on in there. I glared at the giant corpse of Megusan's former body and decided to clean and cut it into pieces for dinner. The vessel of a god should taste good.

I also found the mushed corpse of Vajrara, the former wife of the Pharaoh, who worshiped Megusan and seemed to be charmed by his Aura. I tried to revive her with Amiphossia's help, but it seemed that conventional resurrection couldn't work as her body was too destroyed, her soul was captured by me, and seemed slightly contaminated with Megusan's essence, which I cleaned by licking her soul with the Phantasmagoric Limb; Playful Sticky Tongue Skill.

I decided to do some experiments and perhaps create a new race, so I took pieces of Megusan's physical vessel corpse and the Giant Snakes, alongside the twisted and mushy corpse of Vajrara, and then created a ritual circle, adding some other materials such as Poison Spirit Stones, Earth Spirit Stones and Shadow Spirit Stones, Amiphossia added her blood and several Rank 1 Ghosts.
