Hm…

Scrumptious.

As I was sleeping peacefully, I used my Apollo Clone to devour and replace two members of Apolloʼs family.

Those were Asclepius, one of his sons, with the Demi Divinity of Light Medicine, and the other was Cyrene, his main wife, with the Demi Divinity of the Sacred Wind Bow.

Well, with my wonderful acting and my Illusion Magic to back it up, I was able to put a nice act, and I even managed to completely trick his smartest kid, Asclepius.

I simply called him to a room to ʼtalkʼ and he obediently came, the rest was easy, really, I just sealed him with my Divine Aura and slurped his Soul like spaghetti out of his body, which I then filled with a Soul Clone containing all of my memories and his, while also being connected to me.

Afterward, came Cyrene, and her death came just as quickly.

I had been adjusting to Apolloʼs body for a bit, and I used the excuse that Apollo was attending his garden, which he used to calm down his nerves. This wasnʼt created by me, he actually had a garden and all.

I used this opportunity to bring my Ambrosia fruit to the Gods, planting several trees of it and gifting it to my whole family.

Why would I do that, you may ask?

Because those fruits are created through my flesh and blood, they are literally eating me when they eat one, which slowly warps their minds and begins to accept me more, without noticing the rare occasions when Apollo begins to act strange…

Like that, I managed to make my whole façade even better, and after a few emotional talks, I easily brought Cyrene to the bed.

She did not suspect anything and lowered her guard greatly.

I could not resist much, so I ended drinking her blood as well as slurping her soul out of her carcass. Afterward, I revitalized it and changed its appearance a bit with Mirage magic and manipulation of flesh.

I would imagine that she might have turned into a Ghoul Zombie or sorts or something… Well, her Divine Body would make it a stronger version of that, but I quickly fixed it to not awaken suspiciousness whenever I was to make her join back the rest of the family.

And well, that is how I ate two Demigods in the span of a night.

Man, compared to Demon Gods, these Demigods are so easy to kill… Well, I guess faking my own identity as Apollo helped greatly.

And there are two more left to eat to boot, I cannot wait to taste their souls, they are so good, it gives me an exhilaration feeling.

Oh. Guilt?

Why would I even feel guilty?

They are the family of my enemy.

And tasty Gods.

I got my own family, so I do not have time to worry about anyone elseʼs families.

Brainwashing them could have proven to be hard, so eating them quickly was a better option.

After all, if I only eat the tender and tasty Soul inside the body, I can fill their bodies with a Split Soul and by using their memories I get after eating their souls, I could easily pretend to be them.

Like that, three members of Apolloʼs family have become me.

And the other two, Khariklo and Aristaios, have not suspected anything at all.

I am currently using Asclepius Clone to ʼcultivateʼ with Aristaios, actually.

Oh right, I used the same trick as Apollo and did not ate their Divine Cores, so their Divine Realms are intact inside of the physical body.

However, whenever I am done with all of this, I might eat the Divine Cores, as I am fairly sure that there is still a lot of power within them.

Hmm, Aristaios is looking quite tasty, his soul is very enticing. And now that I am alone with him… Ah no, I must resist and do it on another occasion, I do not have to be hasty, or I might awaken the suspicious of the other Gods.

Man, this feels like there is a big juicy steak ready to be eaten right in front of me, but I cannot eat it yet, so I can only stare at it.

Anyways, I got a crap ton of Stats, Skill Points, and Dungeon Points after eating two more Divine Souls, the difference is clear compared to eating Divinity Fragments!

And I got two new Skills to boot, here they are…

[Transcendental Medicine of Light Magic: Level 2/10]

The Transcendental Power of a God with mastery over the Light Attribute, and its applications on medicine and healing.

A Skill that grants the user the ability to wield this power, with the ability to even be capable of healing other gods.

[Spells: [Sacred Divine Healing Light], [Divine Light Antidote], [Divine Panacea], [Divine Self-Recovery Aura], [Divine Health Points Enhancement], [Divine Status Condition Resistance Enhancement], [Divine Domain of Healing Light], [Merciful Heart], […]

This one is quite straightforward, and it seems to be a nice healing and buff Spell list, the description says that the spells can even heal other Gods, something often very hard to do with conventional mortal spells…

And there is that one spell, the last one, named Merciful Heart.

This is a ʼReviveʼ Spell, it literally revives someone whose HP has ran to zero.

Thing is, I am fairly sure that I can already revive people anyways, it is as simple as grabbing their souls and putting them back into their bodies.

Yep, ʼdeathʼ in this world, is not the ʼtrue deathʼ, as the soul is still intact. When someoneʼs HP runs to zero, their souls simply lose the connection with their physical bodies, and it slowly flies away, often being absorbed by the Reincarnation Cycle of Genesis.

But this Spell and any other Revive Spells work the same, as long as you do it quick enough before the soul is fully absorbed by the cycle or runs away somewhere else, you can ʼreviveʼ someone.

This does not include Gods, of course… As Gods are still theoretically ʼaliveʼ when their physical bodies disappear. But I guess if this Spell affects even Gods, I guess it simply serves as a soul dragging spell.

[Transcendental Sacred Wind Bow Magic: Level 2/10]

The Transcendental Power of a God with mastery over the Wind Attribute and the Sacred Wind Bow, a powerful Artifact that connects to the wielder of this magicʼs soul.

This skill grants the user the ability to conjure powerful Wind Attribute Magic Spells, if the Sacred Wind Bow is used, the power of the spells increases.

[Spells: [Sacred Heavenly Wind Arrows], [Divine Wind Speed Enhancement], [Divine Wind Walk], [Divine Sacred Wind Archer Empress Robes], [Flying Spears of Heavenly Sacred Winds], [Divine Windstorm], [Divine Wind Gust], [Pressurized Divine Wind Aura of Protection and Flight], […]

This one is a more straightforward Magic, it is mostly offensive Wind Attribute Magic.

Do not get me wrong, it is still amazingly strong, compared to any Wind Attribute Spell I got, these ones are by far the strongest.

But thatʼs kind of it.

It also needs this special artifact, which was so special that Cyreneʼs Divinity was even after this sole thing.

This artifact seems to be a Divine-Rank Artifact, connected to her soul…

But because I just ate her soul (oops), I can wield it.

It is pretty much mine.

I can summon it here if I want to, but it is better to leave it with my Cyrene Clone for now.

In terms of appearance… yeah, itʼs an enormous bow, it is like five meters long, and Cyrene seemed to manipulate it around the air as she fired wind arrows and other techniques and magic spells with it.

She used to be a Heroine, and this one artifact was the Legendary-Rank Weapon that she got in her Epic, so it is a nice reward…

Now, husband and wife had become one with me, they can finally be together forever, as for me.

And soon enough, the other children they have will join them.

Call me heartless, I do not care.

I am hungry for power, I need it, or I will not be able to protect what I love.

I cannot wait for the whole Zeus family to join them though…

All of them will be one with me.

That would be a fitting end for that accursed family of bastards.

Oh, I guess I still got a bit of that hate left when I experienced Gaiaʼs memories.

My bad, my bad.

But after seeing what they have done to her, I cannot help but want to crush them more.

And seeing how she will be the mother of one of my children, this anger increases a lot more now.

Am I being manipulated, you may think?

I am not.

But when I glanced at Gaiaʼs memories, it felt as if I had become her…

I do not know how to describe it properly.

But now, it feels as if Gaia is part of me.

Well, she kind of is, now that our Souls are connected, and that her soul itself was recovered with a large piece of my own.

I suppose that her grudges are mine, and my grudges are also hers.

It is a pretty weird feeling, I know.

Anyways, I woke up after all of this and took a relaxing bath with my family, and then, to breakfast!

And as I was having breakfast, I realized that I had so many Skill Points, that I simply had to spend them right about now.

I mean… I have too many!

Damn, I still remember those times when I was getting so little, and now, look at me, I got over 200.000 Skill Points…

Unbelievable.

I am about to empty this Class Window and get a ton of more stats and power…

And then, I will go crush Hephaestus, while making sure to eat him and his family.

Ah, maybe not?

Blaze might not want her siblings to suffer through that… Well, I will have to ask her.

Right about now.

”Ah… Kireina-sama? I feel sleepy… But… My siblings? I barely recall them, and what I remember about them is that they were all terrible people… Eat them away, I donʼt mind~ My family is here, and Lazuli-chan is my sister now… I donʼt care about those people, theyʼre simply heartless monsters,” said Blaze.

”Good response, my dear, go rest for now,” I said.

Yeah, Blaze is still inside of her egg with Lazuli, but she can speak to me if I ask her, as she isnʼt completely unconscious.

But doing this too much might hurt her, so I only did it to clear things up.

So I can eat them all, it seems that she sees them as heartless monsters.

Perfect, now time to change Classes.
