Leaving behind the four Elder Dragons alongside most of my children and Flesh Clones to help them fight against the Divine Beasts with ease, I flew with the rest of my family inside of my Inner Realm: Soul World across the artificial sky of the dungeon.

Having taken on a snake-like and arrow-shaped form, it was very efficient to fly through the sky at a fast speed, reaching my destination in a few minutes.

The presence of Begudhur had suddenly changed since I reached the Gilman Nation, and concerned about my prey running away or being stolen by someone else, I decided to leave some of my family and servants to deal with the Divine Beasts.

I also used this opportunity to let almost everyone try the newly produced prototypes of Transformation Rings, which were the latest redesign of the Demon Awakening Rings, originally created by Redgaria.

However, these rings did not contain summoned Demon Souls directly from the Realm of Helheim, but my own Split Souls. They were also forged with various parts of my body, such as bones, horns, orbs, crystals, flesh, and blood. Various of my crafting-type Slime Clones and the True Body Clones at my Empire created them through the share of my Subclass Fields.

Alongside Kusuri, Kajiya, Charlotte, and Izumi, this new prototype finally came to be after I acquired the various enlightenment Skills and made everyone's ideas clearer and more imaginative.

This new prototype created not only a powerful armor that could also shapeshift into various shapes and offer the wearer great magic and physical prowess alongside new Skills and Spells, but it also offered the ability to create weapons from the same materials as the armor.

Of course, only one could not be enough, the users needed to wear at least three of such rings, each one that covered a different body part, forming a whole set with a minimum of three…

There was also the possibility for those strong enough to wear more than three, such as four, five, or even one in each finger of both hands… or more hands. However, the more were wielded, the greater would be the pressure in the wielder's physical body and soul, that is why only those strong enough could wield more than three.

Yerze, one of such wielders was given three of the prototype rings, which increased the strength of a priestess like her that was not really focused on physical attack nor in offensive magic into a formidable warrior. Although the Ranks did not change in the status, her Rank might have increased exponentially whenever she used the full armor bodysuit on its full strength, being slightly comparable to the Elder Dragons to an extent.

I am now figuring out to add this transformation effect into all types of equipment, so everyone can be strong and protect themselves while participating in the battle.

However, my Flesh Clones, those that my family 'wore' like Giant Mechs made out of flesh were still preferred amongst my children, so I decided to leave them with those for the type being, which were more effective as well, but not preferred as much by those that were not my children or wives… such as Truhan, Celica, or the wolves.

Truhan, Celica, Wagyu, Kekensha, Kurimu, Yuki, Tsuchimizu, the Demon Trio, and the Blood Sisters showed up from within the portal leading to the True Clone in my Empire and quickly equipped the Transformation Rings… for the wolves, the rings were adjusted by me into tight bracelets that they could wear in their legs.

"So what's the plan, Kireina-sama?" asked Celica.

"We'll ruin these two gods' plans, kill Begudhur, kill Zudig, and kill Kheseerad… But we will first enter Floor 90 where the Boss is… well, I will just kill it and keep advancing. Afterward, when we finally met them, I will try to entrap them inside my Domains, so all will distract them until I am done. My Slime Clones will guide you all through the battle, so don't feel concerned" I said.

"So, we just go and beat them up? Got it" said Truhan, closing his arms.

"We are all ready, guuu!" said Rimuru, who had also worn the rings, alongside the rest of my wives.

"Very well, and do not worry, I will guarantee your safety. I do not like to fight battles that I cannot win. If everything becomes too complicated, I'll make sure to help you all run away through my Inner Realm back to the Empire" I said.

"Ah, Kireina-sama, you're just as cautious as ever…" muttered Wagyu.

"We'll stay with you until the end nonetheless, whatever you chose," said Kekensha.

"I don't care about pitiful gods, we'll beat them up and we'll keep moving forward in life, I have a child that I want to see grow," said Celica.

"Indeed!" said Truhan.

"Okay, okay, you're starting to make me get flustered… Just do not forget to use the transformation equipment as I told you… I get that you don't want to wear my flesh for obvious reasons… but I will force them into you if you get into too much danger," I muttered.

As I talked with my family and servants, I finally reached Floor 90 with my enormous body as the large dark-colored door for the Boss emerged within my sight.

I enhanced all of my body capabilities and flashed like dark thunder towards it, penetrating the door and destroying it into pieces, within those split seconds, a fearful creature emerged from within the darkness of the room, an enormous snake-like dragon with nine heads, each head was that either of a dragon, a wyvern, a snake, or that of a bird. It had six feathered golden wings and a sharp and venomous stinger at the tip of its snake-like body.

According to the information acquired by Nyzzet, this thing was named 'Giant Winged Nine-Headed Golden Wyrm Dragon Overlord', it was an interesting specimen, a rare Boss within the three that could show up on this floor.

It roared against my presence, charging powerful breaths of pressurized thunder through its nine heads.

The nine breaths attacks converged into an enormous cannon, capable of melting away a mountain.

"GROWL!"

Flash!

"Good one," I said, praising the Boss efforts without stopping my charge, as I shapeshifted the front of my head and converged the dozens of eyes spread around my body into an enormous one, with hundreds of crimson irises inside.

"Chaotic Cannon"

FLASH!

I infused my Mana, Aura, and Soul into the eyes, as each one converged their power into a single area and fired a powerful -if not bigger- cannon against the attack from the nine-headed Wyrm. The cannon contained the colors of darkness, crimson, and purple, twisting and spiraling around almost endlessly.

My attack penetrated by Wyrm's enormous, pressurized cannon, breaking it apart and overpowering, the attack kept going until it reached the beasts, blasting it away through a shower of deadly Chaos-Attribute Magic that quickly made the creature's entire body twist and pulsates, exploding into pieces.

"GGRRYYAAAA!"

BOOM!

And it's done.

The creature's flesh flew into pieces as I quickly grabbed the dropped items, transferring them into my Item Box, while a few System Windows covered my sight for a few moments, congratulating me for the annihilation of the ninth Boss of the Dungeon.

Ding!

[Kireina] gained 17.910.923.823.416 EXP!]

[Level: 111/250] [EXP: 405.979.500.650.267/665.000.000.000.000] (Added!)

[Kireina] defeated the boss [Giant Winged Nine-Headed Golden Wyrm Dragon Overlord]!]

[Kireina] completed several conditions]

[Great Overkill], [Great Overwhelm], [No Item Used], [Detect Weak Point], [Complete Annihilation], [Effortless Victory], [One Hit KO], [Induce Fear]

[Therefore, [Kireina] have been granted with corresponding prizes]

[Kireina] obtained the item(s) [Ancient Reward Loot Box (SS)] x4

[Kireina] acquired the [Blessing of the Giant Winged Nine-Headed Golden Wyrm Dragon Overlord] Skill!]

Ah, I even got a nice Elixir… I will use it later though. The rewards were more generous than last time, showing that the last two bosses of this dungeon are stronger than the previous ones by a wide margin, netting more rewards overall.

I even acquired the rare Divine Skill Upgrading Scroll, which I once used in the Overpowering Skill to awaken it to Helios… I should save it and use it in another Skill that has reached level 10 that I would want to evolve instantly.

Before leaving, I extended my body's tails into enormous jaws, which I used to devour the scattered pieces of the Boss in one gulp, so it would not go to waste. Later on, when I manage to conquer the Dungeon, I should be capable of coming to kill it again for my family to taste it.

[Kireina] learned the following Skills]

[Electricity-Producing Nine Throats Lungs of the Nine-Headed Golden Wyrm Dragon: Level 1]

[Impact-Negating Scaled Fat Flesh of the Nine-Headed Golden Wyrm Dragon: Level 1]

[Voracious Nine Thunder Heads of the Thunder Hydra Wyrm Dragon Overlord: Level 1] (Assimilated by Superior Skill!)

[Grandiose Titanic Orb of Magic of the Nine-Headed Catastrophe: Level 1]

Wait, Five Skills…?

Well… it seems that the quality of the meat was fairly good, it tasted quite nice, though I gulped it down like a snake, so I could not taste the flavor as much as I would have wanted.

After having killed and eaten the Boss of Floor 90 in what was less than a minute, I continued rushing through the dungeon, descending furthermore across the expanding landscape of the Floors 91 to 100. I felt the enormous and appetizing presence of Begudhur in the latest floors, which was around floor 98 to 99, while the other two gods' presences had recently shown up, they were most likely Zudig and Kheseerad, as the Gods had speculated.

Although none of the gods in my Pantheon was of the Space Attribute, Agatheina knew of ways to counter the tricky powers and spells that the manipulation of Spell granted to the Gods, such as Kheseerad.

I remember what she recommended me quite vividly.

"Kireina-sama, Kheseerad and most of the Space Attribute Gods might seem to have a terrifying power at first hand, as it is easy to imagine that they could simply manipulate space to cut you down into pieces, but that doesn't seem possible directly, and anyone that wields such power needs to always conjure it into Spells or Skills, Space attribute is a complicated and delicate attribute that could even backfire to the user if not handled with care… This is why Space Attribute Gods usually do not like fighting and prefer to be sneaky or run away when danger approaches."

"Their Divine Techniques are strong but cost a lot to both maintain and conjure… And they can be easily disrupted if you release your own Skills charged with your Divinity, as long as your timing is correct, that is it… Also, when they are enclosed in Domains, they have a harder time escaping even with their Space Manipulation, due to Domains made by gods being their own spaces by themselves… as long as you stack enough domains together, he will take his sweet time escaping from them" she said, who had experienced fighting a few Space Attribute Gods through her life.

Going through her tactics, I should be capable of trapping whatever Space Attribute God is helping Zudig like this… though timing will be especially important. Due to that, I will have to keep my concentration on the task, while creating one or two True Body Clones to assist my family, I don't want to create more as it would decrease my stats too much.

"GRRYAAAA!"

Clash!

"GROWL!"

Clash!

"GRAAAA!"

Clash!

As I kept advancing through the artificial sky, I passed through large groups of enormous behemoths, monsters of over fifty meters roaming in the latest floors as if they normal in these lands. Using my arrow-shaped body, I killed them by penetrating their bodies like a spear, the idiots kept getting in the way, so they all were impaled one after another. Those that ended stuck in my body were digested by it.

Ah, these monsters are quite delicious. I suppose this is where Begudhur found so many enormous monsters to use as an army for his Soul Clones.
