The Dream Attribute surrounding the Realm of Vida was weak, yet it felt instinctively attracted to Kireina's presence. With a lack of Gods possessing a divinity related to Illusion or Dream Attribute, the Dream Attribute felt on her the best vessel of their essence.
And as she kept leveling her unusual skills, new powers constantly awakened within her body, which couldn't be said to be a mortal's body anymore, neither a god… something strange in between a god nor mortal, something incredibly attractive to such supernatural energies.
Kireina's consciousness drifted into a strange dream.
She saw herself in all of her previous forms… A Caterpillar, a blue-winged Butterfly, a dark and ominous Butterfly, a bloodthirsty and crimson Butterfly, a young and cute Dark Fairy, a beautiful and charming Fairy with a strong Soul, and then her latest form, a mature and beautiful woman, mother of several children, maturated perfectly… like a fine wine.
She was happy to have reached so far in her life since she was a bug until she became a strong being that could take care of herself and her beloved ones.
However, as she glanced back, behind the Caterpillar, there was her previous life's form as well, when she was a Male Human on Earth. His skin was light brown, with dark hair and eyes, he was certainly smaller than her current form and had a weaker physique.
Sometimes Kireina thought of her previous life as just dreams, but seeing herself once again in this form, she realized that she was once a man and that she had once another family and life.
This was part of herself, and what made her in what she is now.
Both male and female…
Kireina's Earth's body began to walk, slowly but steady, he grabbed on the small Caterpillar and held it on his hand, the three butterflies began to flap around him, while he decided to carry the small fairy with his other free arm, the medium-sized fairy with a strong Soul decided to walk beside him, and they all reached her latest evolution, the imposing and matured woman with devilishly charming beauty.
Kireina's consciousness then was transported to all of her bodies at the same time, and she saw herself in all of her appearances, multiple times. However, instead of being frightened, or wanting to evade the truth, she embraced it.
"All of you are me, and all of me is you, we are the same, no matter the appearances we took," said the male human form.
"Indeed, there is truth in my words," said the caterpillar, with a small and cute voice.
"I agree with me" nodded the blue-winged butterfly.
"There isn't anything to discuss what I just said" added the ominous dark butterfly.
"I completely agree, I'm glad that I understand," said the bloodthirsty crimson butterfly.
"I'm also glad, I love all of me," said the small fairy.
"I love me too" fairy with a strong Soul agreed.
"We love each other, but we are all us, so we love ourselves…" said the mature Fairy, hugging everyone.
"I love… my family as well," they all said together.
"I love my family too," they said once again.
"My family is not us, but I love them" they agreed.
"Precious family," they said, and as they did, they glowed brightly in white light, they became pure light and merged into a single individual. And as they did, a black sphere with a fleshy heart beating inside of it appeared, merging with them.
[The [Empress of Lust All-Purpose Genetic Assimilation and Absorption Level 7] and [All-Purpose Enhanced Body Fluids, Flesh, Bone, and Minion Creation and Manipulation; Level 10] Skills have merged!]
[Kireina] had Awakened the Superior Unique Skill; [True Body Manipulation; Hermaphroditus; Level 1]!]
At the moment of this Skill being created, in a distant Realm from the Realm of Vida, a beautiful god with the appearance of both men and women felt someone with a similar power than him being born.
This was Hermaphroditus, the God of Genders, its divinity was often looked away, and it was currently part of the Pantheon of Gods of Love, Emotions, and Illusions.
"Oh my… Such a strange Skill was just born, it even has my name. I remember my friend, Metis, who also happened to suffer something similar… It's not like our power has been drained, but somehow copied…"
Hermaphroditus was talking about Metis, the Mother of Knowledge and Books, and the mother of Athena. She is a good friend of this god, and the two often enjoy nights of pleasure together.
She had told him that one day, a strange mortal in a very faraway Realm obtained a Skill with similar power to hers. The power to archive Spells and Magic, alongside all of the Knowledge of them into books, into a personal Library. This was the greatest power of Metis.
"That mortal… it is remarkably interesting, isn't it? Fufufu, maybe I should grant it my Divine Blessing… Although it will be a pain to look for it in a wide number of Realms… Sigh…"
Hermaphroditus laid down on his bed, his entire body almost nude, covered in thin semi-transparent clothing. His skin was pale white and his eyes crimson red, his hair was black and silky, reaching far more than his feet. His entire body features were beautiful and perfect. She had both breasts, a penis, and a vagina.
Wide hips but also strong and large shoulders, he had every part of both males and females. His divinity was the genders, and for her Divine Energy to increase, he often offered her sexual and pleasure services to several gods, even giving birth to their children.
"Aah… It has been long since a mortal had pleasured me fully~ Perhaps…? No, too far away… Maybe on another occasion…" he said, as he covered itself in white blankets and went to sleep for some years…

[Day 210]
I had… another strange dream last night… I fear that this will become something recurrent.
After leveling up my Skills, two of them ended up merging as I slept.
The thing is that these Skills couldn't be fused conventionally with Synthesis anymore, so I had let them level up and slowly evolve them. However, my flesh manipulation Skill did not evolve, until last night, in that dream
It ended up merging with the Assimilation Skill, which also grants me the ability to shapeshift. And now that both of them became a single and weird-sounding skill, some changes occurred in my body.
I was almost still the same, I even checked my baby, still inside my womb… However, some things were different.
My little friend, the one that I thought wouldn't see until my child was born, was there again.
I wondered how could that even be possible…? Unless I just have both genitalia now, including all of their internal functions… there was even seed already produced. It was a strange yet familiar feeling, I even felt… whole? Like complete. Perhaps this is why the new Skill is named 'True Body' and Hermaphroditus must be referencing a God of Hermaphrodites, who has the two sexes, which is what I currently have now. Both of them.
I don't really want to go in details… but both were living together, harmoniously. My penis was silently resting, while my vagina was right below the testicles.
This… I don't know what to think, but there is certain happiness rising inside of my chest.
Now that I finally have both genders, I don't have to wait for that damned cooldown or anything like that.
Even the other shapeshifting abilities are there, and I can easily change into them or fuse them at whim.
Now that I had my member back, I wanted to give it some work… My children were currently sleeping in a separate hut, so just as my wives slowly woke up, they were suddenly drawn to me.
"Mastaa… has something changed in your body? It feels… Guu…" said Rimuru, as she approached me, as one of the first that woke up, moving away from my nightdress and revealing the member that had come back.
"Ah! It's back? But it's not a fake one…? T-The real one, guu?"
"Indeed… a lot of things happened last night, so I have both of them now… it feels strange, but I am getting used to it"
"Ah! Masta, let me give you a hand then~" she said, as she began to shake my penis with her sticky hand, and then, gently placed it inside of her mouth. Rimuru's soft, warm, and sticky tongue began to give me incredible pleasure. It was way different than just shapeshifting a penis-like tentacle, as this was the real deal.
In a few minutes, a warm and creamy substance filled Rimuru's mouth and throat, as she hastily drank it all, licking her lips.
"Delicioush, guu~ Masta, let's do it…!" she said, moving over my hips, and putting down herself over my penis, feeling her tight and liquid walls was like heavens.
"Rimuru… Come here~" I said, as she gentle approached my lips, we kissed passionately while I moved my hips to penetrate even deeper within Rimuru's insides. Not long after, she was filled several times without me breaking a sweat or getting tired at all.
Of course, these movements and Rimuru's small moans quickly woke everyone up, and they began to take turns with me.
"Honey, please, me next!" asked Zehe.
"No, me!" said Acelina.
"Kireina, you promised me a child!" protested Oga.
"M-Master…?" said Sofarpia.
"We also want a baby!" added Sofelaia.
I used this opportunity to release an alluring fragrance and then… spent a large amount of time enjoying myself. Using this opportunity to give Oga and the Centaur Twins my seed.
I fear that their loud moans were heard outside though…
When we finally were done, we decided to take a bath in special hot springs in the caves inside the mountains where the Dragon Centaur were living.
As we walked towards there, the Dragon Centaur praised my strong sexual stamina and vigor.
"Kireina-sama is not only Goddess of Life and Harvest, but Pleasure and Love!"
"No, idiot, she is a Goddess of Fertility, like Tiamat-sama!"
"You two are wrong, she is the Goddess of Motherhood!"
"No, she is the goddess of Sexual Pleasure! Didn't your heart how the women moaned? Incredible!"
Hopefully, my children do not hear this…
"Mommy, what were those screams a few minutes ago…?" asked Ailine, as she walked at my side towards the hot springs.
"Mommy, is mommy Brontes fine?" asked Vudia, who flew around me.
Aah… Should I tell them how were they created…?
No! It's too soon!
Thankfully, Rimuru and Brontes stopped them.
"My daughter, we were doing a lot of exercises, that's it, guu! It was very fun!" said Rimuru, with a gentle smile.
"That's right… Exercises, very tiring ones, even for me, Vudia" said Brontes, nodding.
"Ooh! Can we do those as well?" asked Ailine and Vudia, at the same time.
"Eeeh? N-No! Those exercises are for grown-ups only… You will be able to do them when you two grow very big!" I said, reassuring my daughters.
"Okay…"
"Well…"
Afterward, we had a relaxing bath in the hot springs and then had a great feast with most of the Dragon Centaur again. This time, Trianesna was informing me about the other Tribe of Dragon Centaur, who lived on the east of these floors.
"The Dragon Centaur of the East possess some different features than us… For example, they are capable of flying, yet they don't have wings… this is due to the Wind Orbs that they carry on their arms"
"Wind Orbs…?"
"Indeed! Wind Orbs are special magic items that they carry when they're born, it grants them powerful magic power. The East Dragon Centaur have long snake-like tails instead of their second pair of dragon legs, and more slim and lean scales, alongside long white fur over their backs… I think that Tiamat-sama once called them Ryujin Centaur instead, but they're still dragons nonetheless"
"I see, were these the ones who helped the Kelpie reach the high mountains?"
"Exactly, Kireina-sama, I'm glad that Ligurian informed your group well about such circumstances. And yes, the Ryujin have different abilities than us, we West Dragon Centaurs have stronger defenses, heavy bodies, and powerful physical abilities while East Dragon Centaur has slim and flexible bodies, can easily fly and are talented with magic more than physical prowess" said Trianesna.
"I see how it is… before proceeding through the floors and reach their village, we'll leave some provisions here and several of my guardians to protect you all while you recover from the disease"
"Thank you very much, Kireina-sama, for blessing us with your benevolence," she said, lowering her head, a lot, almost trying to kiss my feet, but I stopped her before she would do something strange in front of her family.
I summoned several hundred Familiar and Monsters, alongside Undead Soldiers and some of my new and even stronger Slime Clones, who seemed to have received an upgrade since I got that new Skill.
