[Day 213]

I had yet another dream last night… Do I need to have such dreams every time my Skills evolve?

Though it is interesting how they just merge automatically, it is convenient for me, I suppose.

Just as I was about to wake up, a holographic screen appeared ahead of my sight.

Ding!

[Kireina] gained +12 Skill Points and Subclass Skill Points due to the prayers of your believers!]

[Kireina] gained 4.663.790.220 EXP due to the prayers of your believers!]

[LEVEL 072/250 EXP 0.128.700.551.872/335.000.000.000]

What…?

I just gained Skill Points and Experience Points without doing anything… What do you mean prayers and believers?!

Ah! So that Skill… [Worshiped Demon Goddess], it really gives me Experience Points based on how many pray for me and worship me.

Over the seven hours that I slept, I gained over four billion Experience Points?

Do all gods gain EXP this way? Well, it's not like it's enough for the amount I need to level up. But the Skill Points are useful, if I gather enough, I may be able to buy all the Class Skills and change to another Class.

Perhaps everyone worshipping should be endorsed now… I will make everyone love me as the most benevolent of Goddesses then, I should also tell everyone in my Empire to build several statues of me and more churches, as many as it can be, to increase the faith… and in the Shadow Sphinx City, I'll make some more miracles and use the Vampires as my apostles.

As I glanced at my sleeping wives, I found that some had changed slightly, Rimuru, Gaby, and Nanako had evolved.

Although, unlike Zehe or Nesiphae, their appearance did not change drastically. As I carefully inspected their bodies, Vudia and Ailine came flying towards me, waking everyone up.

"Mommy!" said Vudia, as she hugged me with her small arms and then kissed Brontes.

"Good morning, I'm hungry!" said Ailine, as I kissed her in her forehead, and then she hugged Rimuru, noticing the slight changes on her mother.

"Uwah! Mommy evolved?!"

Rimuru seemed to be unaware of this until Ailine pointed it out.

"Uwah! I did! How do I look?" asked Rimuru.

"Kind of like the same, but you have a crown now! So sparkly!" said Ailine as she glanced at Rimuru's only change in appearance aside from her presence, she obtained a crown made out of colorful jewels over the top of her head.

Rimuru then began to touch her crown, she seemed flustered.

"Guu… This is very annoying… I can't get it out either… Mastaa…"

"Rimuru don't take it out, it's a special type of organ, similar to the Orbs I have in my body, or the Slime Core in Ailine"

"Gueeh…?! So I finally got one, guu! I've finally caught up with Zehe, Brontes and Nesiphae~!" singed Rimuru, as she hugged me and Ailine.

Rimuru's previous Race was Superior Omni-Elemental Spiritual Slime Empress, but even then, she did not have a crown-like now. This crown is perhaps something similar to Guubo, when he evolved, he gained a crown as well, it represented 'Sovereign' species, beings that had surpassed their race limits and stand at their peak, the sovereigns of all of them.

Rimuru's overall appearance did not change, her skin was still smooth and light blue, her body was still like that of a young woman in her early twenties, her eyes sparkled with bright colors and her hair was long and flowed like a river of rainbow slimy liquid.

Her dress seemed to have evolved with her, alongside her swords, the Rainbow Sword, and the Wind Sword, both of them became Phantasmal Class.

After evolving, Rimuru became more than a Slime, as she gained the rare trait of a demi-spirit. It was to be expected as she always had a good affinity with Spiritual Magic. Due to this, she gained the Spirit Stat alongside her HP, MP, and Stamina stats.

Spirit Stat is a special stat that represents these three stats, and when it is added to something that already has them, it pretty much becomes an extra stat for more HP, MP, and Stamina. And unlike Spirits like Brontes, when it reaches zero it won't mean that the user will die.

"Guu, it makes me happy to have evolved, but since then, I've felt that my Aura is quite uncontrollable…" said Rimuru, as she released her Aura, which revealed bright rainbows everywhere.

"Uwah! Mommy, this is so beautiful! I hope one day my Aura becomes so vast!"

"Is this… a domain?" asked Brontes.

"Gueeh! S-Sorry, I didn't want to do this…"

"It's fine, I'll teach you how to better control your Aura," I said, as I patted Rimuru and kissed her.

"Well, I don't really find myself any different than before… What do you think?" asked Gaby, who moved to my side.

Her appearance had remained mostly the same, with her short bright, red-colored hair, her aquamarine eyes, and her medium-sized height. Her former muscles seemed to have tightened, so she seemed to be slimmer. A thing to note was that her breasts had grown exponentially larger, surpassing mine.

As I inspected her and patted her silky red hair, I found some changes.

"Well, aside from your muscles tightening and losing the excess muscle, your right eye became yellow-colored, you have a yellow orb in your forehead and your shark fin obtained a sharp golden end… Your overall presence is also stronger" I said, analyzing her.

"I see! Now that you say that I feel like I've developed a new attribute, although it's not really that original, its Thunder… perhaps Gubo influenced my evolution?" Gaby asked.

Gubo, her Pet Thunder Slime emerged from within her clothes.

"Gubo! Gubo…?"

"Ah! Gubo! Its Gubo!" said Vudia, touching Gubo's viscous body.

"Is Gubo like our big sister as well?" asked Ailine.

"Gubo!" said Gubo, as she hugged both of the sweet girls.

"Hmm… Seeing Gubo really makes me miss the Slime Family, I wonder what adventures they are experiencing now…" wondered Rimuru.

"It could be… Now that you've evolved a fourth time, you've caught up with almost everyone else" I said, answering Gaby's question.

Gaby released a playful chuckle while revealing her sharp teeth.

"Hehe, Now I've become a Sovereign as well! Perhaps I could lead all of the Mershark…! I should tell Aarae and Valentia! Their mommy finally got a whole lot stronger!" she said, as she left the room with Gubo towards our children, who were sleeping separately in another room.

"Err, Kireina? H-How do I look?" asked Nanako, who was analyzing her arms and legs, with a flustered expression on her face.

Not only the palm of her hands and forehead had crimson eyes, but her legs, arms, and belly, had a few of them. She seemed to have gained one for each arm, shoulders, three over her belly, one in her chest, another three on her back, and two in her thighs and legs.

"Nanako, it was about time that you evolved!" roared Oga, patting Nanako on the back with her large hands.

"Ueeeeh! P-Please, Oga, don't pat me, it hurts! I got eyes there now!"

"Ah, sorry…"

Nanako then approached me as she covered her eyes with her nightdress.

"Uwah, Master, do I look too freaky now? It's the first time that one in my family has evolved, so there wasn't any record of gaining more eyes! T-This is very problematic!"

"I think it's cute, each of your eyes sparkle… Also, the more eyes you have, the stronger you are, right? Isn't that how your species works?"

"Y-Yes… But I am a half-human, I was expecting to not get my entire body covered in them!"

"It's not so bad, relax," I said, caressing Nanako's silky pink hair.

Aside from her gaining about twenty new eyes over her body, her physique became a tad bit stronger, and the muscles she gained with [Superhuman Strength] were tightened and made slimmer.

Her eyes are as hard as her muscles, and cannot be squished with ease even when directly punched by Oga, but she seems to be overly sensitive in them, so even when they are not really damaged, it gives Nanako a little bit of pain to have them touched or hit.

Dodomeki obtains Psychic powers not from their brains but their eyes. Their eyes have mystical telekinetic powers and the more an individual have, the stronger they are deemed as.

However, because Nanako was raised in Human society, she finds them hideous in large quantities.

"Well, I hope that I can be of more use to you, Kireina. I can now confidently say that I am quite strong! Aah, I still need to get used to all of these new eyes…"

Nanako, who was once my enemy, was now happy to be strong for me. Life gives a lot of twists and turns.

As I patted Nanako, Aarae, Valentia, and Gaby came rushing from outside of the palace room where we were staying.

"Kireina!"

"Mommy!"

"Mom, something happened with the Shadow Sphinxes!"

"Huh?"
