"Mama! Mama! I want!" said a little lamia girl with dark purple skin, six arms, and a purple-colored snake half, with a snake-headed tip, which was also drooling in hunger, she was the reincarnation of a Demon God, and also my adoptive daughter, Nirah.

Since she was born, she had grown quite a bit, and now had almost the same height as Vudia and Ailine, of around one meter.

However, she still liked to entangle herself around my body, sitting in my left shoulder while asking me what I ate.

Nephiana was at my side feeding the harpy babies, alongside some of my Slime Clones. They had grown only a bit since they were born, but were already capable of walking and flying for a small amount of time before they would get tired.

And about their fusion, they would sometimes fuse sporadically… but it would sometimes happen when they liked to play around with their 'pets', such as monsters that I summon for them to play around with. Mao, Wall, and Vajrara also offer themselves to play around with them and can receive their hits rather fine.

I have discovered that my seven harpy babies are incredibly unique in many things, and fusing was just the tip of the iceberg…

After interacting with them for a lot of time, I discovered that they shared memories, and often switched personalities between themselves… later on, when I inspected their souls, I was a bit overwhelmed by what I saw.

All of their souls were one, converged soul, that possessed all of their memories, minds, and personalities. The image was a bit bizarre, but it is as if they were all a hive mind, and each personality was both a different person and an alter ego… They even had a unique skill in their status named 'Composite Soul'.

But having a combined soul did not make them feel bad or sickly, they had adapted to it quickly, and drawn strength and power from it…

And by inspecting their souls in detail… I also found out some strange patterns and things… There might be the possibility that their soul is the combination of some of the… Athetosea Heroes…

Their memories had been mostly cleansed, and they are a new person altogether, but that they used to be those that I and my family killed… it is a bit shocking. But I decided to save this as a secret for now. I already love them, no matter who they were before, I cannot judge a new life for what they did in their past lives. Especially if they are the children that carry my blood and that of Nephiana.

I patted Nirah silky purple hair as I gave her a large grille tentacle covered in sweet sauce, which she voraciously ate.

"Delicioush! Mama cooking is the best!" she said with a bright and heartwarming smile.

And if we are talking about forgiveness… Nirah used to be a part of Megusan, if I had already accepted her, I do not think that I cannot accept my seven harpy babies.

"Chirp, chirp!"

As I glanced at them, some of them immediately noticed my glare and moved towards me, moving their feathers, and rubbing them against me.

"Chuu, chuu~!"

"Chirp, chirp~!"

"Hm? What are they doing?" I asked.

"This is what we harpy do when we want to warm others! Though I never taught them how to do this… did they figure it out on their own? It must be in our instincts," assumed Nephiana, rubbing her feathers against me as well.

I was being rubbed by multiple wings and feathers of all colors. It was… very adorable.

Nirah began to sneeze after being covered in too many feathers.

"Chuu! Mama, too many feathers!" she said.

However, the harpy chicks understood her as if she wanted to be rubbed as well, and she was attacked by their wings.

"Aaah! Hehe!"

Nirah was known to have some aggressive behaviors against Vajrara, but even after being 'attacked' by the harpy chicks, she only began to laugh due to the itching of their feathers against her body.

Her snake-headed tail had also stopped being aggressive, and now it did not bite Vajrara anymore. I was rather happy after knowing that she was capable of learning from the thing we taught her, it meant that she did not inherit Megusan's nature either. She was a gentle and nice girl, nothing at all like the grim and evil demon god. This gave us all hope that she might end up developing as a different person altogether and that Megusan will only be something of the past… hopefully.

The night went by and by using all my bodies, I ate tons of food of all types and ate large amounts of the meat from the heroes and royal family of Sunclaw as well.

Today was a pretty long day… I need a bit of rest.

After acquiring the demi-divinity of Geggoron, Kireina decided to sleep for the rest of the night.

Even before she had stolen Geggoron's divinity, she already could exert over the Dream Attribute of the Realm of Vida.

But after obtaining this divinity, her powers grew deeper and greater, she was now in almost complete control over the Realm's dreams, which made the sleep of many living beings in the world change.

Prophetic dreams regarding Kireina were spread all around the Realm, and even some Gods, whose natures were similar to her, began to experience such dreams…

Kireina's influence deeply impacted their minds, even without knowing about them. And through her new skill 'Chaotic Path Enticement', she was able to entice those with similar thoughts as her into her path to chaos… they would be… enlightened.

The entire Realm began to experience strange dreams, some said that they were horrible nightmares where grotesque, alien, and fleshy monsters appeared to spook them, while others had incredibly pleasant and soothing dreams, as if they had been embraced by the warm love of their mother when they were still mere children.

As Kireina's unknowingly began to influence thousands of beings across the Realm, in her own dreams, she was exploring a volcanic land filled with lava and aridness.

Lava beasts roamed this world, but they were submissive to her.

Kireina saw herself differently than her original body appearance.

She was a being made out of magma and covered in sharp stone and minerals, a living Magma Golem.

"What a strange dream… I am a Magma Golem? What does this even mean?" she wondered.

She walked through the volcanic lands while glancing at the sky, which was covered in countless clouds made out of gray and dark dust.

Volcanic eruptions were happening at every corner of the land, but she was instinctively walking towards a certain mountain or volcano.

It was the biggest volcano in this volcanic dream world, and as she walked towards it, more volcanic beasts of all shapes and sizes appeared before her, kneeling to her.

Some of such beasts decided to be assimilated by her body, making her grow exponentially.

However, some resisted her authority and fought, giant dragons covered in volcanic stone that could spit lava, flying aero dactyl-like dinosaurs covered in blazing orange flames, giant cat-fish adapted to living in lava, frogs that drank entire pools of lava as if it were breakfast.

Through these battles, she grew stronger and fiercer, a massive being that became the complete authority of this volcanic land.

When she grew in size, she finally reached the giant volcano, and slowly moved to its peak… she felt that something, blazing energy was calling to him.

Kireina entered the volcano and fell over the pool of burning magma.

Even though it could be lethal, she was made out of such materials, and instead of dying, she assimilated the immense amount of melting rocks and minerals.

She dived her consciousness into the roots of this volcanic land, moving towards the presence that called upon her.

"It is close… what is this…?"

She dived into the magma, a sea made out of molten rocks and minerals, orange, and crimson red in appearance, it was a completely new experience for her.

She dived so much that she lost track of time, and as she dived, she assimilated the volcanic world.

Finally reaching the existence calling to her, she entered into a bubble inside of this magma sea.

Inside, a cave covered in countless crystals capable of resisting the melting heat existed.

Entering this bubble, she saw something beautiful and dazzling.

A blazing flame, resting atop a hill.

It looked like any ordinary fire to the simple eye, it had converging colors within red, yellow, and orange, and it danced happily around.

The blazing fire, which was alive, noticed Kireina's existence.

"Hm? Oh, so you're the one that is making all the fuss in here…" it said.

"Fuss? Well, I suppose… Who are you? Your existence has been calling to me for a long time… I don't know how many years I've spent looking for you," said Kireina.

"Me? I am the divine blaze of Hephaestus… my father let me in here because I was too dangerous to the rest of the world… It has been… many years… as well. But since you appeared out of nowhere a few thousands of years ago, I have been filled with vigor," said the fire.

"You're… a divine blaze?" asked Kireina.

"Well, yeah… there is no point in explaining it. It is too complicated, and no one cares, right? Haha" laughed the blaze.

"I was attracted by you, so I care… I have assimilated most of this volcanic world. Join me and be freed from the chains of your father," said Kireina.

The blaze seemed flustered, although it had no physical form neither a humanoid appearance, its voice, which sounded female, was embarrassed.

"W-What are you talking about…? It is… impossible… right?" it asked.

"I don't think so, I have come here for a purpose, and this purpose was helping you get out of here," said Kireina.

"W-Well… if you want to help me so much, it cannot be helped!" said the blaze in a tsundere-like demeanor.

She flew towards Kireina and converged with her.

Both Kireina's and the Blaze's consciousness merged into one.

Kireina felt strange enlightenment, the blaze of fire, the warmness, and the temperature of existence.

She slowly learned about… the Fire Attribute.

"My father will get all angry… so take good care of me, okay?" said the Blaze.

"Don't worry, I will, Blaze," said Kireina.

"Blaze? Is it my new name?" asked Blaze.

"You don't like it?" asked Kireina.

"N-No… I-I like it! It is way better than Palikoi!" said Blaze, happily, as she embraced Kireina's soul with her eternal and passionate blazing warmness.

Kireina slowly felt that her consciousness dissipated, and was sent somewhere else.

[Kireina] acquired the [Passionate Divine Fire Soul Djinn Daughter of Hephaestus: Palikoi Blaze; Level 1] Skill!]

[Kireina] acquired the [Dream World; Hephaestus Volcanic Prison] Skill!]
