After having some time together with Alice, we finished our business as we went to take a warm bath together, Altani seems to have already bathed so we were once again alone. Alice especially liked warm water as her entire body is ice cold. According to her, the water really makes her feel comfortable and sometimes the mischievous Dhampir falls asleep in the relaxation of a warm bath.

I decided to give her a nice massage on her thin muscles, they were very stiff for some reason, but she told me that she didn't realize, perhaps because she is an Undead. I usually don't feel these types of "aches" as well, but it doesn't mean that they don't exist or happen. Without realizing these aches may end up disrupting her fighting style, so I made sure to relax her shoulders, back, legs, and arms.

As infused magic in my hands, I was able to slowly shape Alice's muscles and veins, increasing her very slow blood flow. While I spread my magic through her body, Alice suddenly felt a very comforting warmness through all of her body.

"Master, this warmness… Haah~ It's so comforting… Your massages are truly godly"

"Just relax for now…"

As I massaged Alice's body, my magic went through all of her muscle fibers and pores of her body. Her body suddenly started to get more active and produced warm of its own, I was very surprised at first, but perhaps this improvised technique may be able to increase her blood flow and make her warm her body automatically.

When the massage finished Alice was still feeling the warmness of her body and her beautiful appearance became even more radiant, she turned more energetic as her pale white skin turned a little bit more pinkish. Her scarlet eyes shined in bright crimson light.

"Haah~! Master, I feel so… alive! What was that message? The warmness of my body didn't go away, it's like its constantly flowing through my body, I feel so full of energy…!"

"I was just practicing, but it seems that it turned out very well… Anyways, let's go meet with the rest if the warmness fades tell me right away so I can calculate how much time it lasts"

Alice nodded with a happy smile as she started to dry her body with her towel, I did as well. After some minutes we were already dressed in more casual attires. Alice wanted to try out the Kimonos I always wear. Thankfully I was already prepared as I had made some beforehand for her. The specially fitted her Vampire Gothic Lolita style with the charm of Japanese Kimono!

Alice ended up wearing a beautiful black Kimono with yellow cloud decorations and thunderstorms, bellow the clouds and thunder there was a scarlet road that led to a mountain. I could say that I've become very talented at sewing. This Kimono could even consider an armor as it was made with my reinforced thread which I infuse with magic and other elements.

Altani was using more offensive fighting style while using her lances in close combat, she enhanced her movements with her magic and pounced with a strong force, releasing powerful barrages of techniques. Acelina was more defensive but tried to be more offensive as well, deciding to evade with her newfound speed thanks to the Wind Magic while shooting powerful magic projectiles in the form of golden weapons from afar.

Both of them were working very hard to get stronger and the [Legendary Hero Seeds] inside of them were reacting to their hard work, compensating them with strong and fast growth. I could also feel that both of them were pregnant, however, the baby was almost unnoticeable, as it was still a small sphere of cells inside of their wombs. I had already left various barriers in all of my wives, so the baby getting hurt by some simple sparring is not possible. Their babies were developing very slowly compared to my other wives, which made me thought that they may be born as pure humans, or half-humans, growing very slowly compared to demi-humans explosive growth.

Leaving the girls on their own, I glanced over another side of the camp were Brontes, Vudia, Zehe, Charlotte, and Ryo were. All five were currently working on their own things, crafting equipment or accessories, or blacksmithing weapons. Brontes was currently indulged in the creation of a set for Vudia, it consisted of various gold accessories, a small chest plate, and a tiara. She specifically made this set so it could boost our daughter Magic powers.

Vudia was at her side, as always, she liked to imitate Brontes on her own, using her Gold Creation to craft accessories, however this time she was becoming more ambitious, trying to make a whole set of armor, she was currently starting from the greaves, Brontes has already made her a detailed blueprint to follow. I wonder what other godly creations can Vudia make in the future.

On the other side, Zehe was learning more crafting and blacksmithing from our son Ryo, both of them were learning from each other. Ryo was fusing his amazing sewing skills with his forge and creating beautiful pieces of equipment that offered both style and protection.

Zehe on the other hand was in love with the creation of small accessories like Rings, Bracelets, and Necklaces that could boost one magic. Sadly, she can only equip four by the system laws. And she already has two of [Legendary] rank, so she's planning on gifting some of these to her close family members or friends that she had made in the Library.

I greeted my two wives with a warm kiss while hugging my two children. Ryo has never liked my hugs or my affection that much, but I forced my way in, kissing his cheeks and hugging him dearly.

You can't escape from your mother's love!

Not so far off was Charlotte who was working on her own things, although not creating new Magic Guns, she was currently creating new types of potions in the side with a small magical machine that could fuse ingredients automatically, meanwhile she was crafting small magic circuits, she had a lot of ingots as well, specially Vudia's Gold Ingots, I wondered for what she needed them.

"Oh, Master! Ah, these ingots? I'm am creating new types of magic circuits, I remember how Redgaria talked about doing this to his own body, so I considered doing it as well, even an artificial Magic Core to become stronger could be possible. I was also thinking about creating a new type of Golem Armor using this magical technology, have you wondered if we could wear golems as armor? Giant Golems that could destroy anyone who opposes us!"

If I'm not wrong, Charlotte has suddenly realized that she can craft Mechas, giant robots to fight for herself… In a medieval world… This was quite overwhelming; how did she figure this out without me telling her about it? It was very impressive; Charlotte is really an incredible genius.

"Your idea is very impressive, Charlotte. But what Redgaria did to his body could only be done because he's an Undead and doesn't feel the same amount of Pain as living beings, doing that to your body could bring a massive burden and may even end up killing yourself… It's better not to insert Magic Circuits on your body, at least until we develop the safest way to do it. And as of the Golem Armor, I am very intrigued… I think that with your amazing talent, it's completely possible!"

Although Charlotte was a little bit sad over my words, she understood that risking her life was not worth it, even less when she was already pregnant from me as well. For now, she decided to develop the magic circuits technology until it does not bring any burdens while also putting more time into the Golem Armor.

"I understand, Master… I won't risk my life for some experiments! Thanks for being considerate"

"Charlotte, I support your investigations, but there is a limit on how much burdens you can put on your body. Whenever we are back on the surface, I want to spend some time with you and help you out in your projects, so we can split the work and not make you as tired. For now, I will leave some of my more advanced Slime Clones to help you out, they are more intelligent than the rest"

I quickly extended my arm as three lumps of Red Slime was cut from my Mass, my body shrink for a little, but slowly went back to its normal size. The three Red Slimes extended their bodies forming humanoid forms, they had the appearance of the girls from the Slime Team but were red-colored.

"Oooh~! New assistants!"

The three Red Slime Girls smiled as they began to chat with Charlotte while learning her technology and projects. In little time they were already splitting the task for Charlotte, leaving her surprised.

Creating these Slime Clones took a lot of my mass, Magic and Soul Energy, as I decided to split my soul and give them one so they could be more intelligent. I even gave them a small piece of my Aura so they could hold some strength of their own. Although they weren't named, they were just "Charlotte Slime Girls Assistants".

Feeling a little bit tired, I walked around some more and found Nanako and Kaguya sparring as well. Nanako was trying out her new Katana Techniques enhanced with her Psychic Powers, while Kaguya was trying her Beast Mode some more, she was still figuring out its powers, but was now able to enhance her body by covering it in blue flames.

Afterward, I found Aarae and Ailine practicing magic, Aarae was overwhelmed by Ailine impressive magic talent, but he didn't want to lose to his little sister, so he worked very hard to increase his magic powers through the techniques that Zehe taught to him. It was a very simple meditation technique that used one's Magic to flow through the body, increasing the physique and also the soul strength. This technique came accompanied by several breathing forms. Zehe did not learn this by herself, Herbell taught to her, and Herbell learned it from Redgaria.

Now Aarae was using it, he didn't want to teach it to Ailine because it could just make her even stronger, but Ailine had figured a way to meditate by herself, using her incredible magic aura, she was able to permanently "refine" her Slime Core, increasing her total Magic and MP stat, and even other stats as well.

I heard from Redgaria that this technique was once used in the past when the System wasn't as prominent and the World of Genesis didn't split into several Realms. The Mages used this technique to strengthen themselves and even learned new and even more powerful variations. Warriors on the other hand used Life Energy to do the same, but the results only increased their muscle mass and overall physique, so it was fairly different than Mages.

In this world Mages were seen as the strongest. There were tales about Warriors that learned Magic and were able to practice both techniques, becoming unparalleled masters that dominated the world. There are some legends of mages that managed to cultivate incredibly high on their Life Walls and managed to become immortal gods, unparalleled in the heavens and earth.

I saw the benefits of such technique, but my physique and psyche were already very evolved and doing these low-level techniques won't give me many results, if any, I should be practicing more advanced techniques, but I haven't found them yet. Perhaps in other Kingdoms or Empires, there may be some traces.

For now, I can keep on getting stronger in my own ways, eating monsters, obtaining their strength and power through Skills, and then fusing them. My Armor and Aura can still get even stronger as I develop them and fuse them together with other Skills, so I have a lot of unconventional ways to "cultivate" myself.

As I admired my children practicing, they noticed me and stopped their activities, both rushing towards me, I was suddenly greeted by a tight hug from both sides.

"Mommy, good morning!"

"Mama, Ailine is practicing meditation!"

"Oh? Yeah, I saw both of you… Aarae, you seem to be practicing that meditation technique that Zehe taught to you?"

Aarae nodded as his brilliant aquamarine eyes shined confidently and his scarlet hair waved, he had let grown his hair a lot and now he resembled a cute girl even more.

"Indeed mommy, but I still have a long way to go, this technique and breathing forms are very intricate, it will take me some time before I can manage to do it perfectly as aunt Zehe can…"

Ailine also nodded while hugging her big brother. contemporary romance

"That's true! Aarae is getting very strong! Ailine also learned my own meditation using my Magic Aura, my Slime Core was reinforcing itself slowly but surely!"

"I see~! I'm very glad that both of you are figuring ways to get stronger on your own, it really shows your determination. As long as you have this, I will always support you, don't doubt if you need to ask me anything"

And then I spent the next hour teaching my children various ways to mold their Magic Aura. Ailine managed to form shapes incredibly fast, and Aarae, motivated by his sudden rivalry with her, also did the same not long after by doing his best. When I was about to teach them how to enhance their minds with magic and make it clearer to think faster, we were called by my wives as the breakfast was ready, the delicious smell of countless dishes called us.
