After fusing Skills, the mental fatigue that I received was too much, making me fall asleep while I was in the middle of a game with Mady, Nesphiana, and Adelle.

It seems that I overdid it… Because I ended fusing so many skills, probably hundreds of skills that I've been saving up just for this very moment, I let myself go loose for a little bit.

These new skills… Are quite strong, and their effects were more than just "as simple skill". It was as if they were alive… especially these demon skills, the Calamity Abyss Demon Skills, which were the Tails, Head, Arms, and Jaws. Much like my armor, it as if they had a small consciousness of their own, and called for me to satiate their hunger.

"Feed me! I hunger! I hunger! I want souls!"

"Feed me, souls! I want souls, all of them!"

"I want to destroy, destroy everything! And then devour! Devour the flesh of my slaughter!"

They were quite wild.

However, I had also fused some of my mental skills, which gave me an amazing upgrade to my split minds, and mental fatigue, so I was able to recover after a few hours of losing consciousness instead of various days, it seems.

I quickly called my three split minds, which had evolved alongside me and somehow their physical bodies disappeared from my Item Box, they had fully merged with me, and also possessed a better control over several of my body parts and stronger minds, the three of them helped me suppress the Calamity Abyss Demon Wills, forcing them to slumber for now.

Phew…

On the other side, my bloodline became something strange, and I could feel both my blood and flesh dangling and stretching inside of me, slowly becoming stronger. My soul was also covered in a thin yet incredibly sturdy cape of phantasmagoric essence, alongside having a bright blue jewel inside of it. My soul rank hasn't increased, but I could feel that it was stronger, as if it was equipping a set of items perfectly made for it.

And there was another thing… It wasn��t any will or mind trying to corrupt my judgment, but it was a strange feeling of… knowledge? When I fused all of my techniques and arts available, a new and strong sounding skill surged, which transferred an overwhelming amount of information on countless battle styles into my mind. I had suddenly become even more skillful with the use of any weapon, and I gained several other abilities coupled with it.

I was also able to think about weapons… and they would appear. All of the weapons I ate and then became skills, I fused them all, and this somehow created an armory in my own mind, where I was able to edit these weapons, forge them and make them appear one by one, or repeatedly, they felt like extensions of my own limbs and could float around if I infused more MP into them. If I were to couple this with Magic… Wouldn't I be able to create an even stronger Gates of Bjarmia?

Not only that, but I was also able to infuse each weapon with certain elements and make them flaming weapons or thunder weapons, I could also conjure a large rifle infused with magic and strong bullets and snipe someone… Well, I don't know if I will use this that much.

And last but not least, there was a strange feeling in my hands, small, sparkling particles floated around them, and when I put my will into them, materials suddenly appeared out of thin air. Jewels infused with elements, rocks, and minerals… This was the creation Skill, I was not only able to generate certain elements and control them, but I was also able to materialize them into solid items, these would be these weirdly colorful jewels, rocks, and minerals.

Mady glanced at the show I was putting on with her eyes wide open, Nephiana and Adelle weren't in here as they went to sleep on our bed, and I had fallen asleep in the special room bellow the pool that I made for her, she had been caressing me as I slept while she was reading a book.

"K-Kireina… You woke up… T-Those swords that appeared out of nowhere really scared me; you know? What are you doing?"

"Ah! Sorry, I was just trying out my new skill…" As Mady was getting scared, I made the swords disappear, as if they were an illusion, they became magic smoke which slowly dissipated into the air.

"A-Also… Did you just generate jewels and minerals from thin air? I've seen you being able to do something similar… but not with this easiness"

"Indeed, this is a Skill I obtained after fusing several elemental control and materialization skills… alongside golem creation… Wait…"

"Golem creation?"

As I remembered that this skill was not only made with elemental control and materialization skills, but golem creation skills, I began to generate more materialized elements as I infused my MP and Magic, and then, gave it the order to "raise".

Boop!

Suddenly the countless jewels, rocks, and minerals merged into a single synthetic mass. Which gained an artificial life of its own, moving slowly around and then approaching me, staying silently, awaiting my command.

"T-This is way out of my expectations… With this, I could create golems like Wall even easier… And what if I merge this with magic technology? And what if I use it to mold the entire land… the world"

"Impressive… But wouldn't that cost too much MP? Even if you have a very high MP regeneration, you can't use a quantity that surpasses your max amount, so you would only be able to do it very slowly… unless…"

"Unless I use some other skills to connect my MP with all of my citizens…?"

"Yes… that's what I was thinking…"

My MP regeneration is almost instantaneous, but I can't use a spell that could surpass the max amount stored in my MP, even if it could regenerate super-fast, there would still be a small time-lapse where all of it will be gone the moment I use it all. Even if it refills all the time, it still limited by its max amount… And to increase this max amount, I need to keep leveling, accessories or equipment won't do, as I had already equipped the best ones I could create.

Mady wasn't an expert in minerals, jewels, and rocks, but she immediately knew that the materials I was able to produce were incredibly valuable, unlike most "natural" magic materials found in caves, inside monsters or in the wild, what I was able to create contained an immense quantity of this pure element magic. Other materials would contain an amount, but not as pure as what I was able to create.

"These jewels and minerals… they could cost a fortune…! Such a high mana concentration… The amount of pure Lightning Mana in this small yellow jewel it's outstanding, it could be said that its at least two times higher than the purest magic stones, Spirit Stones!"

"I can create a mountain of this in a few hours… So, I suppose it has lost most of its value"

"Indeed…"

"Perhaps before leaving tomorrow, I will create a bunch to leave to the workshop, I'm sure they will enjoy these high-purity materials"

"With such fantastic materials, even I want to craft something for our children"

"Well, why don't you join the workshop? I'm sure Kusuri and Kajita will happily teach you craftmanship and alchemy if you're willing"

"Aah… I'm more of a businesswoman, but I will try, it could become a nice hobby"

"Don't worry, I will provide the best materials, so you can craft anything you will ever have in mind"

After hearing my words, Mady scarlet eyes sparkled as she approached me with a coquettish smile.

"If you say things like that, you will get me all flustered~"

I forgot that Mady seems to get excited when she is offered with riches and valuable items, a small habit that remained with her from her years as a criminal organization Boss.

Mady embraced me with her tentacles as we kissed passionately… And we spent the night together.

[Day 199]

Today in the morning, I woke up with even more hunger, yesterday when I woke up, I had barely eaten, so I left Mady's room after kissing her in her forehead as she slept, and then went towards the room, where I found my family peacefully sleeping.

My children greeted me, most of my wives were sleeping, but Vudia, Ailine, and Aarae were playing around. Well, Aarae has begun to act more "maturely" after evolving, but he still has the mind of a young child, so he liked to practice small magic tricks with her young sisters.

As I gave each one a tight hug and a kiss, I began to pile up materialized elements at the side, my room had gone through countless reconstructions, so it was incredibly wide and there were several places with space, so I went towards a corner and began to create these valuable materials, after some minutes, there was already a large pile of colorful crystals, rocks, and metals. Ailine felt the instinctive feeling of wanting to eat them, as she began to snack on them without thinking or asking me.

"Ailine…? Those are not food…"

"Ah! But they're so good, mommy! It's increasing all of my magic power… I feel like I'm overflowing with energy…!"

Vudia also snacked in the Earth and Thunder element materials, while Aarae only looked, but ended up trying a large sapphire-like jewel, saying that it was surprisingly delicious.

Could it be…? These materials are not only good as items to create and produce technology, but they were a perfect meal to increase magic power? And it seems that it depends on each person's attributes. I also had the idea of eating the purple and pink colored materials, which were of the Illusion Attribute, and now I decided to give it a try.

Crunchy, sweet, and delicious. Each munch filled my mouth with a river of delicious mana, increasing the power of my own body and Attributes… Without realizing, I let my hunger go loose as I ate more and more, while my split minds produced them, and something happened…

[Kireina] has ingested a large amount of [Illusion-Attribute Mana]

[Assimilating]

[Mana Assimilated]

[The [Charming Empress of Lust Illusive and Hypnotizing Magic: Fragrance, Voice, and Charm; Level 8] Skill has evolved into the [Calamity Abyss Demoness Mirage-Attribute Magic; Level 1] Skill!]

[Calamity Abyss Demoness Mirage-Attribute Magic; Level 1/10; A mysterious and unique magic skill, which is a direct upgrade from Illusion-Attribute Magic. Possesses the power to control mirages and illusions, while also manipulating other emotions and feelings through them, in the form of charm, voice, and fragrance. Its spells can influence not only emotions, as it can inflict powerful damage through materializing Illusions and Mirages]

So that feeling that I needed to eat these… It ended up evolving one of my oldest skills…

My children seemed to have similar effects, where their Magic Skills leveled up and evolved, greatly boosting their capabilities to new heights. When the Arachne Maids finally came back with breakfast, everyone joined while I multitasked, eating breakfast and at the same time extending part of my body with shapeshifting and leaving one of my split minds into the creation of more materials, a big pile of over two meters was already over the floor, as more materials of all colors were being generated from thin air.

The Creation and Manipulation skill not only worked with things I directly created, but also with already existing ones, so after breakfast and a bath, I decided to convert the whole castle into a living golem, infusing it with a large amount of Mana Points (MP) that I obtained by using the [Love Extraction] and [Mana Connection] Skills in my wives and several of my citizens. Increasing my pool of MP and coupling it with my regeneration, I was able to succeed in this impressive feat, the entire castle had gained a life of its own.

I began to think about converting everything in the city into a synthetic golem, from the paved floor to the houses and even the trees were possible, but it would take several hours, days, or weeks, and today I would get going towards the Cilane Kingdom.

I decided to use the flying carriage that I used in my exploration of the vast plains and converted it into a full golem, while also merging it with other materials, Skeleton Giant Bones and Slimes, becoming a synthetic golem similar to Wall. I just named it Ship, I molded it to resemble a led zeppelin, but I could also make it look like a space ship… I infused high quantities of Illusion-Attribute Mana into it, making it almost invisible to outsiders.

Filling the ship with countless materials, food, and houses for our journey, it was now time to decide who would accompany me. This time it wasn't a full family trip, and it was a rather serious task that a god give to me, so I didn't want to risk the life of my children or wives.

After all, this wasn't just a dungeon filled with wild and stupid monsters, but there were real and cunning people around, and such a large group was bound to bring attention, especially if I wanted to save a Kingdom, I wouldn't be able to do everything in the shadows, but I will have to show myself to others someday, and just changing their appearances with Illusion magic wouldn't do.

Thanks to Nanako and the Athetosea Kingdom incident, I've found that there are various ways to track me even when I am protected with my Illusion and Stealth, so I'm just being extra cautious here, nothing wrong with it.
