As we flew through the "sky" or just below the ceiling of the Lower Realm, inside the Floating Golem, we finally reached the dungeon.
The Fire Oni were excited after reaching this place, imagining how it would be to be on the surface, however, the Blazing Ashura people were rather confused. In the end, I had to explain to them in detail the next course of action.
After understanding that they would be going to the surface, which was only seen as some kind of place were only gods resided, the Blazing Ashura, who already worshiped us as gods were filled with happiness and joy.
The thousands of new inhabitants moved inside of the Dungeon and glanced at the sleeping Athos. I had already ordered Athos to stay still and pretend to sleep if it couldn't really sleep.
As the thousands of people moved towards the safe areas, big buildings I made inside the Dungeon to facilitate transportation between floors, I explained to them the Teletransportation Devices, and easily obeyed my orders, transporting to each safe zone until they reached the first floor of the Forsaken Labyrinth. Or well, the new dungeon surged after combining it with the Bloody Sacrifice Dungeon.
I had already contacted the Rin Sisters, and they were awaiting the new people with open arms, guiding them to the Kingdom and their new homes. Oga decided to go with his father and was guided by one of the Secretary Succubus, demons that the Rin Sisters can summon after having evolved and leveled.
Secretary Succubus have short lifespans of a week, but they are born with amazing knowledge and talent, and can easily take care of all of the Kingdom Tasks, business and such. Alongside the help of Mady and her Octopus, the Kingdom is administrated incredibly well.
I went with Ashura to retrieve all of the Yokai in the Village, and then towards Nefertiti's city, where we retrieved all of the desert beast folk living in there.
A group of around three thousand new citizens has quickly formed once again, and the Secretary Succubus couldn't have any time to rest, receiving each family, explaining them about the Kingdom rules, and leading them to their new homes and workplaces.
Nefertiti missed her golden palace, so I decided to just bring it with me inside of my Item Box, and position it somewhere near the Castle. Ashura also wanted his Japanese-like castle, but I ignored his request.
And now, there was a small issue. What do I do with these thousands of Undead?
Should I bring them to my Kingdom as new work hand?
The thing is, that I already have other thousands more on my Kingdom, and they aren't necessary at all they would end up getting in the way. And could even cause conflict with some Undead. As the older ones would feel replaced.
Wait, why I'm worrying about Undead? Well, they are my citizens, so I should worry a little bit about how they feel, and it's not like I don't understand them.
As I contemplated what to do with them, Amiphossia and Geraldine, who were close by came to my aid.
"Hey mommy, how about you combine them? Like Guubo! Didn't you said that Guubo was born when you fused a bunch of Slimes?"
"Lady Kireina is a very talented necromancer, she created this body of mine, after all, I think that what Lady Amiphossia had proposed is a wonderful idea"
"Merging the Undead? I've never done that before… The only thing close to that was fusing skeleton to force an evolution in them, but it wasn't in such a massive scale like merging all of these thousands of Undead into one single thing"
I gathered all of the Undead Blazing Ashura and some other monsters that were made into Undead and began using [Synthesis] on all of them while extending my body into thousands of tentacles, combining each Undead as if they were pieces in a puzzle getting together.
As I kept combining them without stopping, a sudden new existence began to form, countless of arms and legs and heads, creating a new grotesque existence.
After half an hour, thousands of Undead were successfully merged, and the resulting beast could be said to be a new type of zombie or Undead or something like a Frankenstein? A Patchwork Zombie… Although they were patched together but merged with [Synthesis].
The resulting Undead was enormous, towering over eighty meters tall, it had countless of legs made out of more legs, and countless of giant, robust arms made out of countless arms, thousands of heads covered the meatball-like body, it didn't possess a face.
The souls inside seemed to be in pain, so I called them back to my Nether Sword and made them eat each other. After some time, a new soul was created after it devoured the rest, it was a rank 2 Soul, it was rather beastly.
I inserted the soul on the giant Undead body and then used Synthesis on the Soul and the Flesh, merging both together, something that I haven't tried before. It worked. Something similar to Geraldine happened, where she can change the structure of her physical flesh into ghost form.
The Giant Undead then stood up and greeted me, with groans that I couldn't understand.
I named this fleshy chimera of countless Undead which had many giant legs and arms and no head, Hekatónkheires, like the ancient Giant in Earth's Greek Mythology, who had countless arms.
Hekaton seemed happy about his new name, as its giant body was suddenly covered in a dark and eerie atmosphere, the atmosphere reinforced its arms and covered them in new skin and flesh, he went through a small evolution.
His arms and legs now seemed like those of a true giant instead of being made of thousands of small legs and arms. It still didn't possess a head of its own, but its body grew a large eyeball and a giant gaping mouth, he became a cyclops? But Hekatonkheires isn't a Cyclop, that's a separate Giant!
Anyways, I decided to check Hekaton's Stats and discovered its amazing numbers.

"Ooh, he will make for a good Guardian"
Amiphossia and Geraldine were surprised by its new appearance and tried to talk with the Undead Giant. He was surprisingly friendly, but couldn't make out words and only knew how to groan.
I left Hekaton to rampage around the Dungeon to gain some levels, and whenever he felt like he could go to the surface. I will know whenever he does this because of the countless Slime and Phantom Fox Clones scattered in the Dungeon. I also ordered him to not harm any people, he was very obedient, but to make sure, I left some Slime Clones with him, that would monitor his behaviors.
Before leaving, we killed Athos and the rest of the Dungeon Bosses again with my family and brought back his corpse for the celebration of my return in my Kingdom.
[Calculating EXP gained…]
[Kireina] gained 6.934.034.323 EXP!]
[Kireina] gained one level!]
[LEVEL 057/250 EXP 0.597.594.903/13.000.000.000 EXP]
Something to note about is that the Dungeon Bosses from the previous floor had undergone some new changes, changing their primary attributes and resembling those of Illusion, Dark, Blood, and even Chaos.
Also, there are two Dungeon Bosses slots empty, so I need to fill these. I don't like the idea of imprisoning my creation Hekaton here just after I created him, so I will use the Gacha Tickets to summon a strong looking monster in a later day.
The Rin Sisters and the rest of my servants alongside the big group of Royal Chefs quickly made up a great feast that was celebrated through the entire Kingdom. With the meat provided by the giant Dragon Athos alongside the other Dungeon Bosses, there was food to spare.
Everyone in my Kingdom may have seemed privileged if they were to be seen by other people, as they were all eating premium meat like that of an Ancient Dragon, that would be sold for millions of treasures in a Kingdom like Athetosea, or in a great Empire like Azuma.
I also presented to everyone who works and lives in my great castle to Nixephine and Nefertiti, my two new wives. Oga is still pending about this regard, and Ashura was presented, but he's not in the same position as Nixephine and Nefertiti. Nonetheless, he was assigned the role of taking care of the Blazing Ashura population, which is in the thousands, so he got a lot of desk work to do.
I went to greet Nephiana, as she flew towards me and hugged me tightly.
"Master! I missed you!"
"Nephiana, I'm glad to see you"
Although I went to see her two or three days ago, she still missed me nonetheless. Our children were still inside of their eggshells, and Nephiana's father was dazed about these circumstances, as he had never seen eggs that had taken so long to hatch, even more, that they even grow in the time they are inside of their eggs.
He said that if an egg were to take so long without hatching, that the baby would be most likely death, however, the babies inside were clearly alive and full of vitality, the children that we made with Nephiana are just exceptions in the Windy Mountains Harpies species, perhaps a new subspecies due to my strange chimeric genes.
When I was about to bring Nephiana to the feast, I noticed an eerie, bloodthirsty presence behind me! What is thi-
It was Yiksukesh, the descendant of Jormungandr and the former Boss of the Forsaken Labyrinth, after taking on a human form, she resembled an adorable and cute little girl, but her deadly and pressuring aura was still that of her former giant snake self.
She glared at my eggs with appetite, while licking her lips.
"Aaah, eggs, they look very tasty~ Can I gulp some, you don't mind, right?"
"Of course, I mind! They are my kids!"
"Hisss… Common… Only one"
Yiksukesh seemed to be in a trance over the deliciousness of my children, who released a tasty smell.
"These are probably the highest-class eggs I've ever seen! Let me have a taste!"
Although having her near my children was dangerous, she was still one of my Dungeon monsters and had to obey my every command, she insisted a little bit more, but I reprimanded her for scaring Nephiana, and then made her apologize while kneeling.
"Hisss… How dare you put me in such a ridiculous state…! Hiss… But… I'm… Hisss… S-Ssssorry…"
Nephiana thought that I was being too cruel, but this is the least that this snake deserved after trying to gulp down my kids.
"Master, don't be so rude, it was just a misunderstanding, little Yiksu is so adorable, and she is sorry, just forgive her…"
It seems that even the charm effect of Yiksu is affecting Nephiana! That damned snake!
I commanded Yiksu to get out of the castle and to do something else with Zehe. While I spent some time with Nephiana, Ocypete and Smilkas came not long after, they came here to invite Nephiana to the feast, the two spirits that I summoned greeted me with happy smiles.
It seems that these two had become great friends with Nephiana and had taken care of the eggs when Nephi was exercising by hunting down monsters or shopping for new clothes.
"Well, both Ocypete and Nephi are very shy, so I found it interesting to make them interact with each other… But in the end, we became good friends" Said Smilkas, while giving me a teasing smile with her gemstone-like eyes.
"I-I am not shy! But I've grown more confident lately… Having friends feels good, and taking care of the little eggs is heartwarming, I hope I can have my own someday"
"Aah~ I'm sure Master can do that for you! You don't mind… Rights, Master?"
"Geh…! I'm not interested in making more children for now… And don't force Ocypete into things she hasn't asked for, Nephi…"
"Eeeh? Why not? More children mean more family! So, we can revive the Harpy Tribe!"
Sigh… There is no way around this girl. But I really meant it, I don't want to have more children for now, or at least not more outside of my wives, neither more wives. It may seem abrupt, but I want to concentrate on what I have now.
Ocypete didn't seem disappointed at all, she didn't want any of this anyways.
As we walked towards the festival outside, we meet Nereid and Kjata. The Water Fairy Girl, who was my second ever summon, and Kjata, who was my first summon, the flaming living armor.
Nereid had evolved some months ago and obtained a petite body resembling a human girl on her eights, while Kjata had evolved as well some time ago, being able to materialize her flames into a humanoid body, her humanoid body was also that of a young girl, with red skin and scarlet eyes and hair, she had her original armor floating around her, but she was also able to convert it into magic and "hide" it.
Both girls were wearing loosen Kimonos with themes that went well with their colors, Nereid was wearing a blue Kimono with ocean waves decorations while Kjata was wearing a red and orange kimono with volcanoes decorations.
"Oaah! Its Master, Kjata! Its Master, it's really is Master!!!"
"Its been so long since we have seen her…"
"It is also nice to see my first ever summoned spirits. Kjata, I suppose that Nereid has been behaving well, right?"
Kjata nodded with a cute smile.
"Hm, she has, some weeks ago we formed an explorer group with other strong people, and we had been exploring the Dungeons and leveling up, I'm close to evolving again"
I was rather surprised that the lazy water fairy Nereid has been putting in a lot of effort and work now, she has changed a lot since then. However, her cocky personality remained.
"Ufufufu! Indeed, it is just as Kjata said! I've been doing my best, Master! You should praise my efforts and gift me some weapons, I would really appreciate a stave and perhaps some mage clothing as well!"
"I suppose you deserve some praise and rewards, well done"
I patted Nereid's head as I felt her silky azure hair in my hand. She suddenly became silent and became flustered.
"A-Aahh… M-Master… Is patting me…?"
"What's wrong? Should I stop?"
"N-No! It's just… it makes me happy…! M-Master… I always do my best, so you can see my efforts… And I… bueeehh!"
And just like that, Nereid began to cry while hugging my waist. Aaah, have I been too rough on her? Well, she has grown responsible due to that. For now, I should reward her and treat her better.
"Don't worry, I've always cared about you Nereid, you are like a little sister for me"
"L-Little sister…? N-Noo! I don't want to be your little sister! Bueeehh…!"
"Eh?"
What does she mean? Does she want to be one of my wives? I can't really see her that way, sadly.
"Ah… I'm sorry, but I can't accept your feelings, Nereid, I love you, but like a big sister would love her little sister"
"Fweeh… T-This is frustrating! Why?! I-I will evolve again! And get a more mature body and become a super sexy woman! You will see it! Master, I am not giving up!"
"Alright, do your best"
If it's to encourage her training and growth in strength, I'll let her get away with those words for now. Somehow, Kjata scarlet eyes were also burning with determination after hearing Nereid's words… Don't tell me…
Anyways, I decided to bring these two girls with me as well, and we went around the festival and ate skewered Ancient Dragon meat, hamburgers, milkshakes, and other delicious foods made in the stalls.
The stalls were being held by the Kingdom itself, so everything was free today. It was a very fulfilling and relaxing night. I haven't spent much time with the spirits I summoned, so I felt they deserved my attention.
That night, Nereid and Kjata tried to sleep with me, but I sent them off.
