Geggoron's split soul vessel finally began to give up… its body fell apart too fast. He felt as his very divinity was being devoured with each of Kireina's attacks, even if they were not directly connected to her like her Aura was.

Suddenly, large shocks of Thunder fell over Geggoron, alongside blades made out of multiple colors and small black holes filled his body with wounds all over.

Brontes, Rimuru, and Zehe started to support Kireina with their best long-ranged attacks, Geggoron's split soul saw how there was not much hope anymore. No matter how much it hated, or how much it tried, everything was overwhelming.

"I swear… upon my name… than one day I shall devour your body, Kireina!" shouted Geggoron's split soul, trying to intimidate Kireina with his last words.

"Oh? You are trying to act tough on me? Little octopus? I am already eating you, imbecile! I am the one who will eat you first! You pathetic excuse of a god, you are nothing, but a dinner served on a plate! I shall never rest until I see your doom! You're the one who shall receive pain and suffering, for daring to touch my beloved daughter above all else!" shouted Kireina, for the first time in a while, she was getting mildly angered.

"P-Pathetic Excuse of a God?! How dare you?! I am a great Demon God! Above all you pesky mortals…! How dare youuuu! You! Ugh…! Uagggghhhhhh! Gyaaaaaaahhhh…!"

As if Geggoron's split soul was a mere noodle, he was absorbed into the abyss of Kireina's stomach by her grotesque and monstrous mouth. His consciousness blacked out, and he was completely assimilated.

Silence fell upon the battlefield.

"Phew… that was more intense than I thought, he was going all mad on me," said Kireina, still in his monstrous appearance.

"Well done, big sis! Hopefully, the main body of this fiend gets the message and regrets attacking our daughter while she was sleeping for the rest of his life… which will not last long," said Brontes, crossing her arms with a smile.

"That was pretty awesome! I also took a bite for myself; I got a big of divinity, guu" said Rimuru, who had supported Kireina by attacking Geggoron's split soul with a shower of attacks.

"Honey, you still went quite easy on it, even after it died…" muttered Zehe.

"Ah, well, I didn't want to use all of my strength against an ant," I said.

"You're… Are you really Kireina-sama?" asked Cathin, who was kneeling, seemingly intimidated by my sole presence.

"She isn't all different than Geggoron there…" muttered the White Tiger Beastmen Guard, Kamuris.

"Could it be? Is she a demon Goddess as well?" asked Cassamia, the Black Cat Maid.

"I suppose it makes sense now… gods against gods… it's the only way of defeating that fiend" said Cathin, resting in the ground while still admiring Kireina's grotesque appearance.

It seems that the three had become 'charmed' by her appearance, as they were fascinatedly watching it without stopping.

"Masta, I think you brainwashed them without knowing," said Rimuru, inspecting the three.

"Well, they are weaklings. They cannot fathom to see Honey's true beauty without going a bit crazy! Haha," chuckled Zehe.

"Is there something wrong with big sis appearance?" wondered Brontes.

"Well, I suppose this is part of the whole 'eldritch horror' thing… you just make people insane by just taking a glance at you," muttered Kireina.

"It is… hypnotizing…" said Cathin.

"Ugh… my head is spinning," said Kamuris.

"It's so… wonderful…! Ah! Cathin-sama, Kamuris, don't look at Kireina directly!" shouted Cassamia, coming back to her senses and covering the two with a mantle made out of shadows.

After a few seconds, they came back to their sense. Kireina decided to go back to her 'original' appearance, that of a bewitchingly sexy and beautiful fairy vampire… Kamuris could not stop glancing at her though.

Kireina then received a message from the rest of her wives, who had already saved the five villages that were being raided by different bandit groups with minimal casualties.

The villagers had been absent from this battle, as Kireina had created a domain with her Aura where she trapped Habitis and her army. When her domain disappeared, hundred of corpses appeared in the vast and empty plains, one of them being a gigantic octopus-like monster filled with wounds all over its body.

"W-What is that thing?!"

"It is dead…"

"It's a corpse then?"

"And all of those monsters and knights lying in the ground…"

"It seems that Cathin-sama had triumphed! Somehow…"

"W-Wait a moment, what's going on in there?!" shouted a young woman, pointing at Kireina, who was opening a portal to her Inner Realm while making Cathin and his party enter through it.

"Isn't she the Demon's servant? She's carrying Cathin-sama and his aides somewhere else!"

"It seems that he has been brainwashed by the demon's powers…! Should we run away?!"

"R-Run for your lives!" shouted an old man, creating chaos everywhere. The cat beastmen jumping around and beginning to grab the most important things from their houses.

When Cathin and his party finally entered her Inner Realm, Kireina glanced at the commotion in the nearby village that was being surrounded by walls made out of stone.

"Rimuru, my dear, can you go calm them down? If not, just capture them against their wills and bring them over here" said Kireina.

"Yes, masta!" said Rimuru, flying towards the village and trying to calm down the people with her presence.

"Everyone, please calm down! Cathin has been rescued by masta! There is nothing to worry about, guu! Come with me, so we can join masta in her empire" said Rimuru, flying over the sky. Her beautiful and shining presence, which leaked a divine aura made all the villagers froze in time.

"Such a beautiful maiden…"

"Is she an angel?"

"She must be a goddess…"

"But what is a 'masta'?"

"Maybe she meant 'master'?"

"Master…? That woman who had just kidnapped Cathin-sama?!"

Rimuru waved her head.

"No, no, no! You got it all wrong, everyone! Masta is an amazingly good person! Do not be foolish and come with us, you will be safe and secure in her Empire. There is warm and delicious food there, and a home for any of you, completely for free! What do you think? Isn't it a nice deal?" said Rimuru, with a warm smile.

The villagers were captivated by the idea…

"Is that… true, goddess-sama?"

"Her appearance is so innocent and divine… I cannot feel any underhanded intentions in her…"

"She must be saying the truth, look at her face! She is so adorable!"

"A cute girl like her would never lie"

Everyone was easily captivated by Rimuru's beautiful appearance and aura, and the entire village packed things up and followed her towards Kireina.

"Ah, you did it quite easily," said Kireina.

"Guu! I think I have talent over convincing people!" said Rimuru.

"No, I think it is because you're just very beautiful, Rimuru," said Zehe.

"…Guu?"

"Indeed, she has some charm. Like an innocent maiden" said Brontes, with a mild smile.

"Guu…? Really? But Masta! Am I not good at convincing others?!" shouted Rimuru.

"Calm down, Rimuru, you're good. You are a very good girl. There, there" said Kireina, patting and caressing Rimuru, as the people glanced at this moment of fluffy love.

"Could they be sisters?" wondered the villagers.

Kireina was mildly annoyed by the villagers silently staring at a moment of fluffiness like this.

"What are you all looking at! Get inside there if you don't want to die!" shouted Kireina, expanding her Aura and intimidating everyone.

"Hiiiiii…! Y-Yes, goddess-sama!"

"RIGHT AWAY!"

"R-Run! Quickly, go inside!"

"Masta, you're so good! They obeyed you so quickly!" said Rimuru, kissing Kireina's cheek.

Rimuru was good at convincing others peacefully… but Kireina liked the more aggressive approach.

After defeating Habitis and eating Geggoron's split soul that was possessing her body, I managed to convince Cathin and his party to go to my Empire through the suspicious portal that I am capable of creating inside of my Soul, which led to my other body back in my castle.

In the way, Cathin encountered the soul of Habitis, who had been cleansed from Geggoron's Split Soul, which was completely eaten by me and did not have the second chance of appearing in the 'Soul World' of my Inner Realm.

"Habitis-san?" shouted Cathin, bewildered.

"Ah! My little brother… I am so sorry, so sorry… Cathin-kun… The things that I did… I cannot forgive myself… I am so sorry… I'm so sorry…" lament Habitis's soul, which had an appearance remarkably similar to her original physical appearance.

"Sister… there is no need to apologize, you were being controlled by that deplorable demon!" said Cathin.

"Oh… my little brother… I wish I could embrace you like I once did… but I am nothing but a soul…" muttered Habitis.

"A soul?"

I used one of my Aura Clones to talk with the two.

"Cathin, she's now a soul. It was impossible to rescue her from Geggoron's powers, as she had been completely merged with his split soul. At best, I only consumed Geggoron while leaving her as it is. It should be possible to give her a new physical body as undead or revive her as a ghost, she can choose between the two" I said.

"Between the two?" asked Cathin, still trying to digest what I meant.

"Cathin-sama. It would be beneficial if she revived as someone that could help you out" said Cassamia.

"I see… well, can I decide that later on? Habitis nee-sama, is it fine for you to wait a bit?��� asked Cathin, he seemed quite tired, he was still a young boy.

"Of course, I can wait an eternity, Cathin-kun," said Habitis, with a mild smile.

"Yes, there is no hurry, I will seal Habitis's soul inside this pendant, carry it with you," I said, using my Aura Clone to move Habitis's soul inside a phantasmal jewel I created just now and then used my threads to make an improved pendant.

"T-Thanks…" said Cathin, moving forward to the portal leading to my Empire.

Cassamia and Kamuris followed him from behind, reaching the portal and entering the castle hall.

"Ah… this place…" muttered Cathin.

"Such a beautiful throne hall… impressive, this even beats Moonfang Kingdom's castle," said Cassamia.

"Woah… Is this the throne room of a goddess? It's hard to digest," said Kamuris.

"Welcome to the Dark Moon Empire. Your new refuge until things are resolved in Moonfang and Sunclaw…" I said, with my second body.

"Hm?! Kireina-sama?!"

Cathin was bewildered after seeing me again in a completely different place.

"Ah yes, this is my second body, by connecting the two, I am capable of moving people from extremely far places into my Empire… I think it should also be possible with Teleportation Gates, but they are not easy to make" I said.

Cathin and his party wandered through the castle and glanced at the several people inside, the different races of demi-humans that he had never seen before, some of my wives were in here, alongside my children, soldiers, secretary succubus, and so on.

"Ah, are you Cathin?" asked Vudia, flying towards the young lion boy.

"Ah! A fairy… yes, I am. Which might be your name?" asked Cathin.

"I am Vudia! I am mommy's favorite girl!" said Vudia, proudly.

"No! I am!" said Ailine, appearing from behind her.

"Your mother? Who is it?" asked Cathin.

"I am, they're my daughters. It seems that they are interested in you, so treat them well, boy" I said, with an intimidating mild smile.

"A-Ah! Y-Yes…" he muttered.

Vudia and Ailine followed Cathin around as the succubus secretaries guided him to his house with his servants.

"Woah… This is really an amazing city… look at that…! This cannot even compare to Moonfang! Look at the well-paved streets, the large houses with several floors… the hundreds of stores selling a wide variety of things…" muttered Kamuris.

"It is really a beautiful place. I have never seen a place with such a large concentration of diversity on its citizens… So many races living together" said Cassamia.

"This is… overwhelming… but will we just wait in here until Kireina-sama resolves it all? It just feels…" Asked Cathin.

"Don't worry! Mommy can handle things pretty well… she always talks about young people not having to interfere with war and all" said Vudia.

"That is right, you're quite young. You shouldn't be worrying about it too much, leave it to the adults!" said Ailine.

"To the adults…? I suppose so…"

"Don't worry, you will be meeting Maeralya and Mohini pretty soon" I said, through a slime clone in the form of a bat.

Cathin moved away from me as he fell on the hard and paved floor.

"Ouch…! Ah… that voice… Kireina-sama?" he asked.

"That's right. I can create familiars like these to communicate from afar" I said.

"I-I see… I am beginning to get used to your strange powers…" muttered Cathin.

"Wait, Cathin-sama will meet the two goddesses?!" asked Cassamia.

"Indeed, at night, there will be a meeting between gods in the dungeon. For now, get some rest, take a bath, and eat well. I will come for you in a few more hours," I said.

"I will meet Maeralya and Mohini-sama…?" muttered Cathin. He could not believe any more of what was said and fell unconscious.

"Ah! He seems to be pretty tired, isn't he?" asked Vudia, patting his forehead.

"He's kind of cute, he looks like a girl," said Ailine.

"Maybe we should present him to Acathea-chan, she's a cat as well," said Vudia.

"Ah, good idea, sister!" said Ailine.

"Girls, leave the boy rest for a bit at the very least… for now, Cassamia and Kamuris, carry him to your momentary home, the succubus lady there will guide you," I said, pointing to the nameless succubus secretary. Kamuris glanced all around her body with a voracious intent.

"Here, please, everyone~," she said. As the unlikely party went to their momentary home while Vudia and Ailine went to look for Acathea, their young Shadow Bastet friend (formerly a Sphinx), which I ended accompanying through the small bat-shaped slime clone.

Meanwhile, where my second body was, I was already transporting a few hundreds of villagers towards my Empire through my portal while my wives began to cook the spoils of today's battle. I also wanted to inspect the minds of the few Nightmare Hunters that remained alive.
