Today the Light Sphinx underwent similar changes than the Shadow Sphinxes of yesterday, they had suddenly become Midday Bastet overnight. I suspected that such change was because of my blessing, which included the Chimera Holy Mother Title, capable of inducing evolutions to my servants that could improve their strength… but I never imagined that such changes would occur so fast like it's happening right now.
I wonder if it related to their faith with me, perhaps Light Sphinxes yesterday were so shocked about my miracles that their faith increased by leaps and bounds, causing all of them to evolve right away after a night of sleeping… I also think that drinking my blood through the potions or the 'secret sauce' also helped with this.
Something to note is that the Light Sphinx that was 'revived' by having their corpses parasitized by my Slime Clones also evolved into Midday Bastet, however they had the (Chimera) classification, though most citizens do not possess Appraisal, so I and the clones were the only ones that we're able to confirm their race names through the system.
Midday Bastet's skin color had changed from their usual pale white skin to more reddish skin color, their blonde hair became brighter and their lower halves became slimmer for most of them, some Midday Bastet gained a new extra tail. Their eyes had turned crimson red and orange, and they were now capable of controlling Fire Attribute as easy as Light or Holy.
Most of the people found such changes very drastic, to say the least, but after getting to understand that it was thanks to my grace, they quickly accepted it and embraced their new changes.
Thanks to the 'revived' Royal Family being now just my clones inside of the original bodies, the Pharaoh was able to easily convince the people that 'there was nothing wrong' with the change, as it was a grace of both The Goddess (me), Morpheus and Mohini.
Just like the Chaos Human or the Midnight Bastet, I felt a small indescribable connection with these Sphinxes… Bastet now. Even their bloodlines were updated to new and stronger innate talents and powers, I wonder if Morpheus or Mohini felt the connection with their descendants become dimmer.
After I checked on all of the citizens (or most of them), we moved to the reconstructed tower-like royal castle and had a large breakfast in the dining hall. There, we decided to taste some of the food grown and hunted on the Desert, there was Earth and Rock Wurm meat slices tasteful and covered in a sour sauce made out of yogurt and herbs, juicy and sweet Cactus Fruit, which resembled melon on its richness, grilled skewers of Giant Sand Worm meat, tender and sweet, resembling the meat of eel and several different teas with aromatic and mystical flavors that filled the hall in an atmosphere that really immersed us in the desert culture built by the Sphinx.
”Oh, by the True Spirits! I can't believe how amazing are these teas! I am dazzled on their richness and aroma~ I would gladly dispose of this city tea supply to carry to my palace…” said Nefertiti, as she filled her lungs with the aromatic steam produced by the warm tea in the morning.
”I'm glad Nefertiti-sama finds our teas as delectable,” said one of the royal servants who wasn't 'revived' by my Slime Clones, sincerely.
”Ohoho! This tea is really something else… even by comparing it with the tea made by the Elves… or even the teas made by the Dryads back in the Empire… Could it be that there may be some kind of special preparation method? I wonder in which conditions do this tea is grown?” asked Acelina with a devilish laugh as she sipped the aromatic tea with a dark red color.
”A-Acelina-sama… there isn't any 'special method', they are a special species of herbs that grow in the arid desert, we managed to grown them in specialized areas surrounding the Oasis” said the servant, a little bit tired of having to explain such an unimportant thing such as tea.
”Acelina, don't trouble the people with such trivial questions… all of you servants can leave, and have the day off,” I said.
”Yes, Goddess-sama”
As the servants left us alone, Amiphossia decided to speak her mind over what I just did yesterday.
”Mother, now that we are alone, will you tell me how you revived those people? I was pretty sure that their souls had drifted away! There wasn't even ghost behind…” she asked.
”Oooh… About that…! Haha…”
”M-Mom?”
”Well… I guess there isn't any point in hiding it from you, but these people really didn't resurrect, I inserted a Slime Clone in each corpse, and they 'revived' by the Slime Clone taking over their corpses, healing them from the inside and then obtaining several memories from their brains... That's the 'trick'… I used me recently obtained Life Attribute Magic to infuse life into the bodies to make them seem 'alive' and less 'lifeless'.”
”W-What?! Is that true, mom?!”
”Incredible, guu!” celebrated Rimuru.
”To be expected of the mother, she can even resurrect people without the need of their souls!” said Ailine.
”Ohoho! That is 'devilish'!” said Acelina, trying to keep her act as a devil.
”It is a rather interesting experiment you did, Honey… To be able to 'revive' people even without a soul, we could use this in a variety of ways, the powers of your body are so limitless and full of uses that we are yet to understand! Please, lend me a few Slime Clones!” said Zehe.
”I'm not giving you any, I bet you will try to eat them!”
”Huh?! I-I would never…!” muttered Zehe, it seems that this was within her plans.
”Does mother want the power to shapeshift her body?” asked Ryo.
”N-No, my son! I'm perfectly fine as I am!” affirmed Zehe, with a forced prideful slime.
”Well what you did there was certainly questionable in an ethical standpoint, Kireina-sama,” said Sofarpia.
”But we know that you did it to make the people happy, we know how hard and horrible is to lose those precious to us… So I'm rather glad that you did what you did, so those people can once again meet with their loved ones” said Sofelaia.
”Yeah, Sofelaia is right, I think so too,” said Sofarpia while nodding in agreement.
”That's right! Mother, what you did gave me an amazing idea! What if I do the same… but with my ghosts?! Or my Phantasmal Soul?! I could use it to posses' corpses… or even other physical objects, like the ground itself!” said Amiphossia, bewildered by the sudden insight on the use of her vast and varied powers.
”I-I see… I'm glad what I did somehow gave you an insight into the use of your abilities, my daughter”
”Oh, Ami, could it be possible to revive your grandmother like that?” asked Nesiphae.
”Grandmother Amiphossia? I… Sorry mom, but I don't think its possible, her body had been buried in the ground for many years, she had most likely go back to the earth, becoming its nutrients and nourishment…” said Amiphossia, with a pained expression.
”A-Ah… I see… Well, it is fine, hopefully, you can create new friends!” said Nesiphae, quickly forgetting about what she asked, perhaps to not act sad in a carefree atmosphere.
After hearing the words 'new friends', Amiphossia's phantasmal soul expanded itself as Geraldine, Sesshomaru, Seishin, and Shirohibe appeared, floating in the air in their Ghosts Forms.
”N-New friends?! B-But Amiphossia-sama, are we not enough, nya?!” said Geraldine, bewildered.
