Chapter 398 - Opening Some Loot

All Ancient Reward Loot Boxes looked like boxes made out of pure gold, with a printed A, S, or SS in front. As much as I have tried before, I cannot eat these.

I think that even when I raise into a Goddess, I won't be able to eat them, they may be made out of some kind of special material, as when they are opened and an item is generated, they disappear like dust, I cannot even eat the dust before it disintegrates to an almost molecular level.

Meanwhile, the Mythical or Legendary Prize Loot Crate resemble even larger Loot Boxes, Mythical ones are purple-colored, while the Legendary one is golden colored.

After asking my wives about it, it seems that not everyone obtained these. Instead, my children were the ones who had some Legendary Prize Loot Crate, which they had already opened before. They obtained materials of all kinds, some useful and others not so much.

Those who were wearing new and shiny accessories or clothes were perhaps the ones that obtained a Legendary or above Equipment. Valentia had obtained a new pair of gauntlets that were capable of molding with her 'Monster Hands' transformations.

As everyone was chatting and having a relaxing day, I opened the Reward Loot Boxes and Prize Loot Crates.

The Boxes and Crates to open were as follows:

[Ancient Reward Loot Box (A)] x4

[Ancient Reward Loot Box (S)] x7

[Mythical Prize Loot Crate (SS)] x1

[Legendary Prize Loot Crate (SS)] x1

Using the [Open All] System Function, a holographic System window appeared in front of me.

[Open [Ancient Reward Loot Box (A)] x4, [Ancient Reward Loot Box (S)] x7, [Mythical Prize Loot Crate (SS)] x1, and [Legendary Prize Loot Crate (SS)]?]

[>YES NO]

"Yes"

Ding! Ding! Ding!

[Obscene Demoness Love Blood Elixir (Mythical+++)] x1

[Gaia's Soul Mythical Jewels (Mythical+++)] x1

[Soul Fragment of a Rampaging Blaze Demon (Mythical+++)] x1

[Golden Wand of Heaven's Treasures (One-Handed Weapon) (Legendary)] x1

[Condensed Life Attribute Divinity Fragment Heavenly Elixir (Phantasmal)] x1

It wasn't as much as last time, due to Morpheus's Dungeon being small and with fewer Bosses compared to the Forsaken Labyrinth, but they seemed oddly useful for the plans we had in mind…

Several materials could be very useful in the Evolutions of my wives. I'm beginning to think that the rewards given by the System are always fitting for the user's necessities at that time.

It had already happened several times, and I can confirm that it also happens with other people, like my family getting a specific material they needed to create something, or make food tastier, and so on.

And without a doubt, the last obtained material had made me question if the System is really being run by Gods… how could they easily handle a fragment of Divinity?

The being that is supposedly running the System alongside the System Master is the World's Will, according to Agatheina.

Such a being is capable of generating something so powerful as a fragment of divinity and even gift it to me?

Perhaps it was unaware of it because the System Master is given such a task, but it still frightening to think of the power level of such existence.

I doubt that a normal adventurer or Hero could obtain a 'Condensed Fragment of Divinity', as they wouldn't even be able to eat it. The System only adjusted to my new needs, such as my demi-divinity and how I can strengthen myself by eating Divinities, like Megusan or Apollo's.

The Wand Weapon seemed ideal for Vudia, so I decided to give it to her immediately. She had lacked a good weapon for a while, and because it's a Legendary Wand, she can use it to both boost her Magic Power and also as a weapon by putting her herculean strength in use.

"Uwah! It's so shiny, is it for me, mommy? I've never had a Legendary Weapon before…" said Vudia as she took on the Wand, the weapon released a bright Aura, embracing Vudia's body, they seemed to have a great affinity with each other.

Most of the other materials seemed ideal for crafting, but I will use them as evolution materials instead, there was also Radishes of Evolution of the Legendary Rank, I thought about using them in the Golem Castle or the Living Mountain Gaia.

Now that the Castle had become a Golem through my Golem Creation Skill, it has obtained a will of its own, primitive intelligence, and a System status, which comes with levels, skills, and stats to strengthen itself beyond a building capacity.

I also obtained 'Greater Dungeon Core', and I considered where to use it… a place that was infested with Mana would be ideal… Perhaps I could create a Dungeon in the Grand Forest?

Well, all of the shrines have already been 'devoured' by the main Dungeon as it had expanded. Perhaps converting the whole Athetosea Kingdom into a Dungeon City, and then connecting it to my original Dungeon would be a better idea.

As Vudia played around with her Wand, and the rest inspected the materials, I drank the [Condensed Life Attribute Divinity Fragment Heavenly Elixir (Phantasmal)].

The Elixir resembled a golden dew that shined brightly each time I moved the flask, it had a honey-like scent that remained in one's nostrils for an extended period, just by smelling the Elixir my mind was capable of clear out.

Its flavor was sweet, it had several hints of different types of fruits, I could taste over a hundred different sweet flavors, there was apples, watermelon, strawberries, orange, and so on.

If I were to pour this over some pancakes, they would become an incredible dish. Even a cake that used this Elixir would become an amazing delicacy.

I regret not having it saved for later… but just as I started drinking, it was completely gone, the flask turned into dust as it disappeared.

Ding!

[Kireina] acquired a [Fragment of Life Divinity]!]

[Fragment of Life Divinity] has been integrated into current Pseudo-Divinity!]

[Kireina] gained +100 Soul Stats!]

[Kireina] gained +60 HP, Strength, and Magic!]

[The Levels of the [Determination to Overcome the Mighty; Level 5], [Divinity Devouring; Level 8], [Root of Life Attribute Magic; Level 4], and [Overlord of Lust Heartwarming Assistance; Enhancement and Healing; Level 5] Skills have increased!]

A small understanding of Life appeared inside of my mind, for a small glimpse of a second, I comprehended something regarding the Life Attribute, but just as I understood it, it disappeared.

"What was that? I almost got an insight… Perhaps I need to eat more Life Divinity… but it should be scarce… unless I ask for a fragment from Morpheus and Levana? Will they be willing to take apart a piece of their soul for me?"

Rimuru who was at my side seemed curious about my words, I was actually talking to myself, but my thoughts came out of my mouth.

"Guu? Masta? Was the potion tasty?"

"It was incredibly tasty… I should have saved it and used it for making sweets and pastries… Ah, I also obtained a fragment of Life Attribute Divinity"

"Oh, so that's what you were talking about, guu"

"Honey, didn't you said something about asking those gods for their divinity?" asked Zehe.

"Yeah, well, they are so supportive of me, that I thought about it…"

"Well… they are so willing to give up everything for Kireina, why wouldn't they give a piece of their Souls?" analyzed Nesiphae.

"I don't think you lose anything by asking them…" said Brontes.

"Though, if a Divinity is such a powerful thing as I think it is, it may need several fragments to become a real divinity or pseudo divinity," said Charlotte, even after becoming a Chaos Human she was still just as intelligent and attentive.

"But aren't those Beast Gods a lot of siblings? If you manage to get a fragment of every one of them… perhaps" said Gaby.

"Indeed, Morpheus-sama has dozens of siblings that represent each Beastmen race. But asking for our founding father for a piece of his soul…" muttered Sofarpia.

"It sounds quite excessive…" said Sofelaia.

"Well, didn't they sounded desperate as you said, Kireina-sama? Perhaps it would be the best time to take advantage of that!" said Kaguya.

"You could also ask that crazy Vampire Goddess for a piece of her soul as well," said Lilith.

"Ah, I wish I could also eat Divine Energy, so I can get a pseudo divinity!" said Acelina.

"And what would your divinity be about? Being a spoiled rich lady?" said Altani with a smug.

"Hoh?! Quite daring today, aren't you, savage woman?!" shouted Acelina.

 "You two, please stop" muttered Ismena.

"No, let them continue! Acelina, you tell her some truths!" shouted Adelle.

"I don't think it's a good idea to fight within each other, we are all master's wives, we should get along with each other if possible…" said Rimuru.

"Mommy why are the two aunts discussing?" asked Ailine.

"Oh my… well, they are filled with energy today…" said Rimuru.

"I think we are getting too off-topic…" muttered Mady.

"Well, I want to use this opportunity to admit my distrust of Nefertiti!" said Nixephine.

"What?!" shouted Nefertiti.

"I am the real Sovereign of the Desert! I remember being an Empress, I don't believe that such a lazy woman as yourself was once one!"

"How dare you?! You giant bug!" shouted Nefertiti, baring her fangs.

"Huh? Why are they discussing for such a trivial matter?" said Alice.

"Alright… stop please," I said, they seemed to only listen to me, Rimuru's words entered one ear and came out of the other.

After the talk we had, I decided to contact Agatheina and Levana. The two Goddesses were now in Agatheina's Divine Realm, while Morpheus was on his Divine Realm with some of his siblings.

"I see… so you did that to Apollo…" analyzed Agatheina.

"You did what?!" shouted Levana.

"It was such an easy thing to do, he was pretty much offering himself to be eaten, don't blame me"

"Wait, and you even inserted a piece of your soul into his open wound?" asked Levana.

"Yes, the wound of his soul kept open because of the curse of my attack, so I inserted a piece of my soul into the open wound and merged it with Apollo's soul since then I can sometimes hear what he is hearing and sense some of his thoughts. They are surprisingly simple for a God"

"And what are you planning to do with that?! Didn't you think that he would want revenge?!" asked Levana, bewildered.

"Of course, I expected that, but both benefits and dangers come along together"

"Fufufu! To be expected of Kireina-sama! So ruthless! Not even Gods stand a chance~!"

"Thanks to parasitizing Apollo, I know some things about him and what he's doing. He's currently planning something alongside Zeus, Athena, and other Gods who have been affected by me. I think they want to nurture and raise strong mortals in the Azuma Empire. They want to possess them and come to kill me personally. It seems that Gods spend a lot of Energy if they come to the surface?"

"Indeed, we do, it is one of such weaknesses we have. Though Gods who possess strong physical bodies like Demon Gods, Titan Gods, Dragon Gods, and other Monster Gods are capable of going to the surface more easily than Human-based Gods. I am in between, but I don't want to waste Divine Energy leisurely" said Agatheina.

"For us Demigods, it's even harder! We can only travel through Divine Realms or go to the Higher Realms which have high concentrations of Energies that can sustain our bodies, but the Higher Realms are dangerous Realms dilled with Divine Beasts," said Levana.

"Fallen Gods mutate and obtain strong physical bodies that can survive in the surface and other mortal realms that possess fewer energy concentrations, but they go insane due to this" analyzed Agatheina.

"I see… that's a lot of revelations, it is very useful information… However, the Gods are taking their time to do anything, perhaps due to their weird perception of time, they may take years for their plans to be finished… and until then I would have already devoured Apollo's soul without him even noticing" I said.

"Such devilish!" said Agatheina.

"Until then… we should give you a piece of our souls then, I will tell Morpheus and my other siblings, I don't think they would protest as they are desperate for their children to be saved, but they may only give a piece after their task is fulfilled," said Levana.

"For now, take these, we made them into an Elixir for easy consumption, just as the one you got from the Crate," said Agatheina, as she sent two Elixirs into my Item Box.

"That was fast! You didn't even shout in pain like Apollo did"

"That's because we did it willingly, you munched Apollo's soul without any warnings, of course, he wouldn't be prepared for the pain," said Levana, she had already taken a chunk of her soul as well.

"Well, thanks for your support," I said, as I opened my Item Box and saw two Elixirs, one had a crimson and dazzling liquid and the other had a golden liquid similar to the previous one I drank.

Agatheina's Divinity tasted like very fresh blood, with strong and intoxicating sweetness and metallic flavor. It had some hints of liquor on it, it was a very spectacular taste.

Levana on the other side had a bittersweet taste, with a hint of the metallic flavor. This must be because she is Agatheina's granddaughter.

[Kireina] acquired a [Large Fragment of Blood Divinity], and a [Fragment of Life Divinity]!]

[Both fragments have been integrated into the current Pseudo-Divinity!]

[Kireina] gained +270 Soul Stats!]

[Kireina] gained +300 Blood Strength, +120 HP, +60 MP, +70 Strength, and +50 Magic!]

[The Levels of the [Crimson Blood Attribute Magic; Level 5], [Phantom Blood Transformation and Manipulation; Level 3], [Demon Overlord of Lust Awakened Phantasmagoric Ethereal Existence; World-Defying Aura Domain Creation, Materialization, Manipulation and Assimilation; Level 8], and [Sacred Rainbow Blood Fruit Creation; Level 8] Skills have increased!]

[Furthermore, the Levels of the [Etheric Lighting Fruit; Level 7], and [Sweet Fruit Production; Level 5] Skills have increased!]

Consuming these two Divinity Fragments, which were also a piece of God's Souls really made me hunger for more. But I suppressed these feelings and decided to spend the day in a relaxed manner.
