When I woke up, I had acquired a new Calamity Abyss Demon Body Party Skill… but that was not the thing that surprised me the most…

"Chaos… Blessing?!"

The moment I woke up, I sat down in the bed and inspected my system notifications, but as I did, my wives who were peacefully sleeping at my side woke up.

"Kireina-sama, what is troubling you? Oh, it's already morning…" muttered Kaguya, stretching her arms.

"Well, I got a strange blessing…" I said.

"Strange blessing? Like what, gu?" asked Rimuru, waking up at my side.

"Could it be a new god interested in you?" asked Kaguya with interest, as she began to caress her large and fluffy squirrel tails.

"Wait, another god?" asked Zehe.

"Maybe a new ally!" said Nesiphae.

"No… It is complicated. I get it on my dreams, I pretty much… traveled across the universe with my consciousness and found it… It is very hard to explain how it looked, but it was an entity resembling an unending void… It was named Chaos, and seemed to not be a god from Genesis" I said.

The entity that I met in my dreams… Well, that I met willingly through using my Dream Attribute Magic and Divinity, was a large entity of unknown origin, it named itself Chaos, and it was also where the Body Parts of my Calamity Abyss Demon Skills came from, it seems.

"What? Is that even possible? You traveled outside of Genesis in your dreams, honey?" asked Zehe in disbelief.

"It is hard to believe… Well, I might have been hallucinating the whole time, but the blessing I got… It pretty much confirms that it is true" I said.

"Is there any more info about the entity, Kireina-sama?" asked Alice as she drank a cup of blood.

"I remember that it called me… its child. It also told me that it was chained by the laws of… something, I couldn't understand its words clearly, even after creating many split minds to understand better" I said while stretching my arms and then creating an eye in the palm of my hands.

I glanced at the eye and then, aimed to the open window of the castle, firing an eye laser beam through my hand, which resembled more like a cannon of pure dark and red energy, which flew through the sky and broke through the clouds of the dungeon, leaving a large open hole in the artificial sky that revealed the actual ceiling.

"And I got a small upgrade in everything eye-related…" I said.

"T-That was incredible…! But why do I feel like I became less special?" asked Nanako, who was a Dodomeki and had many eyes across her body, which were a major part of her powers.

"Don't worry, you're not the only one, Nanako…" muttered Mady.

"Please, don't feel overshadowed! I am simply like this… you girls are unique on your own, do not feel bad. Your company and help are more than enough, and I am fairly sure "that no one thinks of you as 'less special'…" I said.

After all, Nanako was a beautiful, lovely, and intelligent woman, and also a Dodomeki, a rare demi-human race of mystical bloodline and powers, since I was in Earth that I dreamed of meeting such a race when I read about them through that Light Novel about Goblins, where one of them evolved into a Dodomeki.

And Mady is a beautiful Scylla, mischievous and playful, why would I ever think of her as less special? I always wanted to meet a girl with tentacles as well on Earth… After all, I was an avid fan of monster girls, and finally having them as my side is like a dream come true.

"Aah, I think I was just saying dumb things…" muttered Nanako.

"Well… if you say so" said Mady with a blush.

"Anyways, if that entity called you its child… well, it would be better to discuss this with the gods, they know more. We would be wasting time by just trying to figure things out, isn't it?" asked Zehe.

"Indeed, let us have breakfast while we ask the gods… Also, the people are beginning to move into my Empire as well, there are over two hundred citizens in the High Siren Nation… and I think that the Grand Forest is beginning to get too clouded, so we'll move some to the Vassal Nations, and will probably begin an expansion of territory, my helping Wall divide… Well, I will do it in the background through my Slime Clones" I said.

"Breakfast, guuu! I am going to make pancakes today~!" said Rimuru, running outside of the room of the High Siren Nation Palace.

After a few minutes of taking a quick bath, we moved to the palace's dining room, where Rimuru, the Arachne Maids, and the Dragon Maids were waiting for us.

We also reunited with our children, which were sleeping in another room together.

"Mama, I hunger for meat!" said Nirah.

"Mommy, do you like Nirah's new dress?" asked Belle.

"I sewed it for her some days ago, but I adjusted it so it can adapt to her size slowly increasing," said Ryo.

Nirah was sporting a new dress that was not just the light Arabian dancer dress that she would often wear, it was a rather adorable summer dress with bright white and pink colors, it reached a bit below her hips and it had enough space for her six little arms to fit. She also sported a tiny pink ribbon, and her long purple hair was made into twin tails… She was incredibly adorable.

"Mama, do I look cute?" asked Nirah with a bright smile, I just wanted to love her now… Such a cute little daughter.

"Nirah, you look so cute! Aah, I'm dying…" I muttered, as Nirah embraced me in a cute hug.

Megusan, I cannot believe you would reincarnate into such a pure and adorable daughter… I guess you have already defeated me if this was your intention from the beginning…

"Well, I also got a new dress! And I made my hair into a ponytail… Mine's not long enough to make it into drills like mommy (Adelle)" said Belle.

"Do you like Belle's new style? Now she truly looks like a royal princess!" said Adelle.

Belle was also sporting a new dress, which was similar to Nirah's, but it fitted the aesthetic and colors of her body and hair, being both white and black. Her long yellow and black hair was made into a cute ponytail, with a ribbon with a small metallic pink that looked like the sun and the moon.

Bovdohr and Nomera must be thinking the same thing as me…

"Belle, you're also incredibly adorable! Now you truly look like the princess of eclipse and dawn!" I said, hugging my beloved daughter while rubbing her cheeks with mine.

"Uwah, mommy, stop doing that! Hehehe" laughed Belle adorably.

"Right? Belle will be the dazzling star of the Empire with such beauty" said Adelle proudly.

"Mommy, I also got a new dress!" said Vudia, coming while flying with her butterfly wings, with her adorable and enthusiastic smile.

"Me too, guu!" said Ailine, which came floating in midair.

"Ah, I decided to gift them these new outfits today, I have been working in them for a bit," said Ryo with a bit of embarrassment.

"Big brother is the best when making cute clothes!" said Vudia.

"I love big brother Ryo, he always gifts the clothes of our liking!" said Ailine.

"Hahaha! Stop with that, you're making me get all flustered…" muttered Ryo, when it comes to his little sisters, he would never act tsundere and seemed to have a very big soft side.

"Onii-chan also made one for me…" said Yiksukesh, emerging from beneath Ryo.

"Haaah~ What an adorable little group of princesses!" said Amiphossia, coming with her party and Evan.

It was a very wholesome morning, and I ended up spending some time hugging and loving my daughters until they were finally satisfied with being praised and spoiled.

Today's breakfast was more Zombie Dragon Steaks for those that could eat them and mutated Begudhur Thunder Dragon Steak for those that could not. Of course, that was the main meat dish that most were looking for, as my family is filled with vicious carnivores.

But there were also dozens of fruits, preparations, bread, cheese, yogurt, flavored milk, cereals, pancakes, donuts, and many other types of pastries, mostly prepared by the Rimuru's Clone Army. Due to her ability to duplicate herself similarly to me, she can now become her own army of pastry masters and cook for everyone with great efficiency.

Opening the artifact, I decided to ask Agatheina if she or the other gods had any clue about Chaos.

"Chaos…? No, not that I've heard of any God with such a name before… Certainly, some gods once wielded the power of Chaos Attribute, but none of them was called Chaos…" said Agatheina.

"I don't remember anyone named Chaos either…" said Hodhyl.

"Me neither," said Merveim.

"Nor me… I'm sorry for my ignorance, Kireina-sama…" muttered Kaggoth.

The Gods that had existed even before Genesis was split into Realms had no clue, so those born afterward were perhaps even clueless. None of them had any clear answers of what or who could Chaos be, outside of my own explanation from what I heard from Chaos itself.

"I remember that he or she called me its child. It also knew about my Reincarnation… And it seemed to be an entity with enormous power, enough for my own consciousness to begin fading away if I stayed near it for too long. I also remember that it talked to me about being chained by the laws of… something. It knew about Genesis, but it said that it did not belong there. And… it also called Genesis 'the world that its sibling nurtured or created'…" I said.

"Wait… the sibling of the one that created Genesis?! And it is calling you its child, Kireina-sama?! T-That means… Is not the creator of Genesis, or at least, the one entity responsible for most things the World's Will?" asked Agatheina.

"Well… that's… Does this mysterious Chaos know the World's Will? And siblings? This is confusing, it's strange to call such a powerful entity as a person…" said Merveim.

"Do you all know something else from the World's Will that you have not told me before?" I asked.

"Well… Kireina-sama, if that entity named Chaos is right, the entity that created or nourished this world should be the World's Will… If that entity is its sibling, and it calls you its child… Wouldn't that make you something like the nephew of the World's Will?" asked Agatheina.

"Oh… Perhaps…? Though, to be honest, that entity might have been lying by all we know for, there is not much of a confirmation of such things, and I am pretty sure that my parents are on Earth… Well, I might have a caterpillar or butterfly parents in here, but I was born in an egg separated from my kin, so I do not know about them… To be honest, they must still be stupid bugs if they are not dead yet…" I muttered.

"Well, there is the issue of souls and all… from where they truly originate, where they go and all… Perhaps Kireina-sama's soul had been reincarnating more times than we what she remembers? Well, it's just a theory, don't take this for granted… and such theory goes around what Chaos said," said Agatheina.

"We might be gods, but we are just as clueless, there are way too many mysterious things that we don't know about… And some of us didn't even know about other worlds or parallel worlds/dimensions until Kireina-sama said that she came from a world very different than Genesis…" said Hodhyl.

"I like how all of you are casually talking about the possibility of Kireina-sama being somehow, the nephew of the World's Will! Isn't that being like… everything?! It is the source of power from the entire Genesis! How can you talk about something so casually?!" asked Levana.

"We are just thinking things out, there is no point in freaking out, Levana," I said.

Although, such a possibility was way too crazy for me to believe, so in my mind, I chose to think that Chaos might have meant something else or that it just lied to me.

"But can I get an answer, a clearer one, in what truly is the World's Will? I know that it is a kind of God, even stronger and greater than the Supreme Gods, but what else? From where did it came from? What is it truly its nature, its species and all…? Did it simply originated from within Genesis itself, or did it exist before?" I asked.

"That's… we don't have any idea, Kireina-sama…" said Merveim.

"We only know, from generations, that the World's Will was always here, its nourished Genesis and granted the living beings on it with Magic and Power, and like this, the variety in landscape, scenario, and species happened… And those are simple theories amongst theories… Most Gods do not even pay it any mind, and those that once seek such knowledge had long ago given up on it, the origins of the World's Will are hard to find because it is extremely hard to get in touch with the entity itself, we know that it exists and it's somewhere, doing many things and maintaining many things… but we do not know exactly how to communicate with it nor ask it about things. We get tasks from it as divine oracles sometimes, amongst thousands of years, if even… And those are not even given to us but to the Supreme Gods, who then tell the Great Gods who then tell us" said Agatheina.

"I guess it is all shrouded in mystery all over the place… Well, no point going around it, let us keep going forward instead. Let us progress step by step until I become strong enough to find answers by myself" I said.

"A wise decision, Kireina-sama," said Agatheina.
