Today as I was taking a bath, I began to think about my inner realms, and glanced back at my Fragmented Divine Realm…
Chaos after chaos, too many colors to remember, it was just, as usual, I fear that if I invite gods inside, they might end up having a hard time accommodating themselves.
Remembering Maeralya's Divine Realm, it was very calm and beautiful… hopefully, when I reach max level and become a Living Deity, a better Divine Realm shows up, or the Fragmented one 'repairs' itself to an extent… though it is very unlikely considering some things.
I had finished exploring the Dream Attribute Dungeon inside of my Inner Realm: Soul World a few days ago already, but it seems that I never acquired the 'prizes' and other things that are usually delivered after defeating a boss… but it seems that those other than me that defeat bosses do acquire reward boxes and such, of course of lower quality than anything I have.
I wondered why was that when I can easily acquire these when I go to other dungeons… could it be that after the dungeon becomes mine, I cannot get the rewards? So dungeons that I create on my own will never give me such rewards by killing the monsters inside… interesting.
I didn't want to ask for my wives or children to give me their prizes, as they deserved them, and I was content with what I had, so I decided to ask the gods about such miscellaneous things after I took the bath.
This time, Agatheina answered my call more eagerly than on other days.
”Ah! Kireina-sama! Is there anything you need?” asked Agatheina with a pleasant voice.
I decided to ask Agatheina about the whole dungeon thing. She seemed to be also with Maeralya, Marnet, Morpheus, and other gods, seemingly drinking tea.
”Oh? About dungeons… The dungeon that you created, the Dream Attribute Dungeon in your Soul World, it does not net prizes?” asked Agatheina.
”It does net prizes for anyone other than me. Is it because I originally made it?” I asked.
”Indeed, Kireina-sama. Dungeons usually don't give any reward to us, the owners… not like any of such rewards would be of much use to us gods, most of the mortal's valuable things become insignificant to us… but Kireina-sama can still make use of such things! Of course, that must be the case of why you cannot get any more rewards through the system, though you can still acquire the dropped items by monsters, right?” asked Agatheina.
”I see… well, you also acquired the rewards from the previously conquered dungeons that you took over from some of the gods, right? But it seems that it was only when the dungeon was not yours yet… I do not know if you could get or not system rewards after taking over the dungeon, but is unlikely that such a case will ever happen because you need to conquer the dungeon to take over it, which also needs you to defeat the boss and then… acquire the system rewards, I suppose” said Agatheina… she is very knowledgeable about all of this.
”I see… I will probably go and get some dungeons, Nyzzet's Dungeon, Maeralya, and Marnet's… I hope that Maeralya and Marnet do not have some secret tribes living inside your dungeons” I said.
”Is Kireina-sama referring to me?” asked Morpheus.
”Secret tribes? Yeah there are a few of my children living in there, that preferred to not be involved with the outside world,” asked Maeralya.
”Oh, like Morpheus! Well, we cannot stop our children from wandering in the dungeons, some tribes found peace inside of them, so if you met with them, please bring them with you” said Marnet.
”Err… my dungeon is a large labyrinth-type dungeon, lacking any kind of large-scale biome unlike Maeralya-sama, Morpheus-sama, or Marnet-sama, so there are not any of my children living in there as of now. But there are some intelligent monsters such as Lizardmen or Dragons that had created small tribes or even civilizations… I cannot inspect them in detail, so I'll leave it to Kireina-sama's judgment to kill them or bring them with you” said Nyzzet.
”I see… so which one should I go first? I kind of want to explore some for now before going to the Dark Steppes, if possible, all of them” I said.
The gods discussed all around but none of them could decide who to be first, at the end I decided to go to Nyzzet's dungeon… I had explored this dungeon before and it had a unique mechanism that changed floors constantly, sending the party to different biomes all the time.
However, Nyzzet was willing to change this mechanic so I can have a more linear exploration, and even open up more stairs to go directly to the last boss or the secret boss if I desired.
I thought that there was not much point in exploring a dungeon that was not made up of biomes if it was filled with mostly weak monsters, aside from the lowest floors that had wild Thunder Dragons as a common monster.
It was still quite early in the day, so I decided to pack things up and invite my family to a quick trip there, we have not come back to the Vast Plains in some time, and the Evergreen Town that surrounded the dungeon.
”Mommy, are we are going on an adventure again? About time!” said Vudia.
”It will be a short one, my dear. But let us enjoy it nonetheless” I said.
”A new dungeon!” said Ailine.
”Well, it is not really new, we explored it before, didn't we?” asked Ryo.
Nesiphae nodded.
”Indeed, we explored it before when we went to the Vast Plains and had that big feast of humans,” said Nesiphae nonchalantly.
”Oh, that time! We were still newborns, I think” said Aarae.
”Right~ we explored it a bit though,” said Valentia.
”Now that all the big tribes were moved to the Empire, I wonder if new ones had formed? Well, it hasn't even been a year, so I don't think they would move so fast…” said Altani, thinking about her older days as a nomad's tribe leader.
As we had installed teleportation gates towards Evergreen Town, as it was now a part of my Empire, we traveled there quite fast, reaching the entrance of the town, we came across a large and paved street, with various new buildings that weren't here when we came for the first time.
The sky was clear blue, without any cloud at all, clear as water. There was the sun shining brightly atop the sky, and a small and cold breeze caressed our skin from time to time.
The town had gone through many changes and it now resembled a small city, there were mostly Chaos Humans, which were the original humans that inhabited this place that converted into Chaos Humans after my blessings and influence spreading towards here… alongside the apostles of my religion.
