407 A Mysterious Event and Divine Energy? (2/2)

”Ugh… Okay, okay. I am calm, I am calm! Do you see it?! I am calm. I am the calmest man on the Realm of Vida,” muttered Redgaria, sighing.

”It's okay Ailine, your uncle sometimes gets one of its screws loose, but he's my slave, so he can't do anything to you anyways… Still, Redgaria, don't act strange on my child, you heard me?”

”Eeep…! Yes, ma'am” said Redgaria.

”Sigh, leaving my hysterical Master aside… Ailine-chan, what do you feel when you generate that spark?” asked Herbell, with a way nicer and gentler tone.

Ailine seemed to have calmed down as she thought for a moment.

”Mmh… I don't know like I just will create stronger magic, and that comes out!” she said.

”That simple…?” said Redgaria, sighing again.

Charlotte then moved towards Vudia who was sitting on my shoulder.

”Vudia-chan, can you do something similar?”

”Ah? Me? I can!” shouted Vudia as she raised her small yellowish hands and generated a strange golden substance that sparkled brightly.

”This?” she asked.

”T-That! Look at the dilation of space itself…! It is Divine Energy as well…!!! For real, what kind of family is this?” shouted Redgaria.

”The best family!” said Ailine.

”Guu, Ailine-chan, you make your mommy proud, so strong. I can't even generate Divine Energy!”

Zehe then came back with Ryo, who was outside training.

Nesiphae also brought Amiphossia who was currently with Kaguya and her party training in her dungeon.

And Gaby brought the Shark twins, who were shopping around the city for new clothes.

”Um, what's going on here? Ah! Where are the other eggs?!” shouted Ryo, he wasn't in the castle when the whole thing happened.

”Our siblings!” said Amiphossia.

”Did they… no way” muttered Aarae.

”Such a big egg!” said Valentia, admiring the egg.

”Well… you see…”

After explaining the whole thing to everyone again, and that the strange event may be attributed to the Divine Energy of the chicks, all of my children also showed their own Divine Energies.

All of them had different forms and features.

”I discovered it a few days, I thought that it was somehow related to my Soul or my Magic… but to think that it is a power that gods wield…” muttered Amiphossia as she released a bright semi-transparent watery substance that contained properties of a ghost, and also had healing and corrosive effects all at the same time. It seemed to have a will of its own as it moved around her, the space dilated itself as it moved, creating small cracks that regenerated almost immediately, only being capable of being seen by my Mystic Eyes.

”I thought that it was just my Aura, every time I put it inside of my body, it would make me crazy strong, but I would tire down a lot afterward. I was saving it as my trump card!” said Ryo, showing his Divine Energy, which flowed like a blaze of energy around his body. He was able to mold it like the others into a sphere of reddish and dark colors, it held 'strength' over everything else, and cracked space the most of all the Divine Energies.

”Mine is like a dark blob covered in rocks,” said Valentia, showing her Divine Energy, it was exactly as she said, and it sometimes shaped itself like strange coiling snakes or dragons, claws would sometimes resurface. She had by far the strangest Divine Energy, and it held a lot of powers unknown.

”Ah, I suppose this is my Divine Energy…? Compared to everyone's mine is quite simple” said Aarae, showing a sphere of what seemed to be dazzling spring water of the purest quality, this was his Divine Energy. Sometimes, sparks of lightning would appear around, and if Aarae put some imagination, the sphere could take into water creatures' shapes.

All of my children seemed to be able to 'generate' Divine Energy, while I, the one who created their Bloodline was not!

”All of you make your mothers very proud!” I said, extending my body as giant tentacles and hugging all of my children.

”Indeed, Vudia, you're really a very talented little girl, I love you very much,” said Brontes, with a bright smile while kissing Vudia in her cheeks.

”That's right! My little girl is just the best, guu!” said Rimuru, hugging Ailine, the two slime girls embracing each other with their watery bodies.

”I couldn't expect less from my beloved boy,” said Zehe, hugging Ryo.

”Yes, big brother, you're talented. Not even I who is a descendant of Jormungandr, my grandpa, is capable of doing what you can” said Yiksukesh, sitting over Ryo's shoulders.

”Fufufu, my precious little girl, I couldn't expect anything less from you!” said Nesiphae, entangling around her tail with Amiphossia's tail, while embracing her with her four arms.

”You two have been the most precious gifts that life has given to me,” said Gaby, hugging the shark twins, she was obviously smaller than Valentia, so she hugged her mother instead.

”Well, now that we have confirmed that every single one of master's children has Divine Energy and are somehow capable of producing it… should we attribute the merge of the eggs by a special ability related to that energy?” asked Kusuri.

”I suppose, I cannot attribute it to anything else, this is far beyond my expectations. Kireina and her family keep destroying anything that I ever knew about this world… but at the same time, it makes me motivated to investigate even more! If it isn't much, could each of your children give me a small sample of their Divine Energies for research purposes?” asked Redgaria.

”Research? Isn't Megusan's Divine Energy not enough for you?” I asked.

”It has been very useful… but not enough, your children are a unique existence as well. And by seeing how each one has a different Divine Energy, it may help me find the truth about this special energy, and how much it is related to other attributes of mana. Megusan's Divine Energy is tainted with the Poison Attribute, having several samples of different attributes would greatly help me out” said Redgaria, trying his best to come out as nice and gentle.

”Hm, alright then… are you guys fine with it?” I asked my children.

All of them nodded in agreement, none of them seemed troubled about giving a small sample and were neither weakened by doing so.

And like this, Redgaria got a lot of things to investigate with the rest of the newly 'Research Team', made by the librarians Zehe and Herbell, the Alchemists Charlotte, Kusuri, and Izumi, and the Necromancer Redgaria.

Redgaria also extracted a sample of the egg's divine energy, which it exuded generously outside of its eggshell.

I wonder if we could make equipment with Divine Energy. Perhaps this is the last ingredient needed to craft Legendary and the above items? Though I need recipes, the gods I am allied with may help me out.

Aside from what had happened, the day was relaxed. I used my Slime Clones to pass the day with each of my children while helping them develop their Divinities. A Slime Clone also spent some time with Nanako to practice Telekinesis.

Nephiana woke up when it was time for dinner, she was extremely hungry so she joined us and ate to her heart's content, after Redgaria carefully explained everything that he had found out, she seemed to not have any other option to accept the truth and hope for the best.

”Chupi… as long as I am with Kireina-sama and her family, I think I can endure this…”

”I'm glad you're calmer now, Nephi. Let's wait for them to hatch, and we'll investigate together what they truly are capable of”

”Alright… I can't believe that I gave birth to such talented children, chupi. Are they really comparable to Gods?” she asked.

”With enough training, most likely. They could even surpass them because as mortals, we possess the system to boost even more our growth” I said.

”I can't wait to finally see them” she muttered, as I hugged her shoulders with my arms.

Aside from today's activities, Alice was busy 'educating' the insolent Aleksandra, who was always asking for a duel… she got beaten badly by Alice. Hopefully, she stops being annoying.
