385 Morpheus\'s Life-Attribute Dungeon Conquest 29/30: Taking Care of the Last Things

After I merged the dungeons and had a fulfilling lunch, I decided to move to the next course of action, which was to create Teleportation Gates on each of the Centaur Cities or Villages.

Now that I owned this Dungeon, I was able to use the Labyrinth Sovereign Magic Spell \'Labyrinth Maintenance\' to edit and change the structure of the Dungeon to my will. We were also able to instantly teleport around any area of the Dungeon.

By tightly grabbing my family with my slime tentacles, we teleported to the Light Sphinx city.

The Pharaoh and the rest of the royal family were holding a small festival and were surprised when I appeared out of nowhere.

"Now that things are done, I can finally create the teleportation gates, everyone"

"So those tremors from earlier… was that the doing of Goddess-sama?" asked a Midday Bastet (Light Sphinx).

"Indeed! It was by the grace of the Goddess! It was merely a small tremor, so she could take a hold of the dungeon and finally bring us to her promised Empire!" shouted the Pharaoh of the Midday Bastet, who was in reality one of my Slime Clones.

The rest of the citizens cheered to his words as they praised me for my \'miracles\'… My Slime Clone is doing an exceptionally good job.

Meanwhile, the Slime Clones in my Empire, those that we\'re taking care of Nephiana, Adelle, and Mady created several gates around the citadel that surrounded my Castle. These gates will connect to each of the Centaurs Cities and Villages.

The Dungeon Map appeared in front of me as a holographic image, I then moved it with my fingers and selected a section named \'place dungeon item\', and \'Teleportation Gate\' appeared, each teleportation gate constructed inside a Dungeon would cost Dungeon Points and Divine Energy, but because I lacked Divine Energy, MP was taken instead.

Back in my Empire, they constructed Teleportation Gates by using the traps generated in the dungeon. I cant connect each gate by the use of \'Labyrinth Maintenance\' because the Empire and most of the Grand Forest are surrounded by the Dungeon, and it is considered as a \'Dungeon Area\', even if no monsters spawn in there.

Detecting the Teleportation Gates already installed, I touched one with my fingers as I created a connection with the new Teleportation Gate that I was about to create.

Flash!

As if coming from thin air, a large hollow gate made out of golden bricks appeared, a semi-transparent substance appeared inside of it, this was the \'spatial gate\', which made a Teleportation Gate, by connecting the \'spatial gates\', easy teleportation between faraway areas will be made possible.

"Is that…?!"

"A Teleportation Gate!"

"Impressive!"

Leaving the Midday Bastet to their Pharaoh instructions and leading, I quickly teleported with the rest of my family towards the Midnight Bastet City.

Several of the surrounding Sphinx Villages had already joined with the rest of the Midnight Bastet and had evolved into them overnight, Acathea and her parents received us with open arms, they had constructed several statues of my image and that of my wives and children already, there were several Earth Attribute Magic users talented in molding stones. Such statues increased the faith towards me exponentially, and a church was almost getting finished as well.

Vudia and Ailine hugged Acathea, as her parents kneeled and offered me a small pray.

"Oh, Goddess, thanks for your blessings"

"Goddess-sama, thanks to you, the rest of the Sphinxes scattered in the desert had joined the city and have successfully evolved into Midnight Bastet. It is truly a wonderful thing that no one is spared"

"Well, that sounded a little bit frightening… Anyways, the Light Sphinxes evolved into Midday Bastet as well, you will be meeting them very soon. I will entrust in you two the interactions, hopefully, everyone can live together in harmony, so you can worship me better" I said, nonchalantly, I really did not want to deal with problems between races and such.

"Please, leave it to us!" said Tyrode, Acathea\'s father.

"It will be done as you command, Goddess-sama" Acathea\'s mother said.

Flash!

Leaving another Teleportation Gate connecting to the ones already settled in the Empire\'s citadel, I grabbed on my family as we teleported to the Village of East Dragon Centaurs, Vudia and Ailine wanted to stay with Acathea some more, but I told them that they would be able to in a few minutes.

Changing completely from Biomes, we reached the giant and windy mountains, there was currently a small-scale massacre of dragons happening.

The Giant Mountain where the Boss of this Biome, the Life Dragon King of Thunderstorms and Windstorms once resided, which was converted into a Giant Golem named Gaia by me, was annihilating a medium-sized Dragon Wave that tried to assault the East Dragon Centaurs Village.

Gaia had moved several kilometers and had placed itself near the mountain where the Dragon Centaur rested. Using its own body as a weapon, it launched giant boulders covered in Spirit Stones of several attributes, which exploded into powerful magic attacks, blowing up the Flying Dragons and Wyverns like fireworks, while the ones in the ground were crushed to death.

She did this mostly to protect the Centaurs, but she was also grinding levels. Noticing my presence, Gaia groaned, her voice resonating through the entirety of the ten floors that made this Biome.

"GUOOOOONNN!"

Yinglong, the chief of the East Dragon Centaurs greeted us alongside his daughters and wives.

"Ah! Dragon Goddess-sama! You have been gone for a few days, but it seems as if you have become way stronger! Your whole presence makes us all baffled in amusement!" he shouted; this must be the effects of the \'Centaur\'s Race Savior Goddess\' Title.

"I\'m glad Gaia has been of use for you"

"Indeed, Dragon Goddess-sama! Gaia-sama had been our guardian since then, any Dragon Wave was successfully repelled by her powerful and wrecking attacks!" said Yinglong.

"GUOOOOON…!" groaned Gaia, proud of her work.

"Very well, now you won\'t have to live with the fear of getting attacked constantly, here," I said, as I created yet another Teleportation Gate.

"With this, you will be able to enter my Empire, at last… you will be received by a large group of Secretary Succubus that need to register your information, so please don\'t resist and tell them all of your names, age, and abilities"

"Ohh! Very well, Dragon Goddess-sama! Did you see those girls?! We will finally join the Empire of the Goddess!"

Yinglong\'s family, which was completely made out of women aside from him, cheered. The rest of the villagers also gathered around the gate and others began to pack things up in their Item Boxes.

Then, by using the \'Labyrinth Maintenance\' Spell, I teleported to another location, the Village of the West Dragon Centaurs, where I found a group gathered in the middle of the settlements, they were having a fighting competition. I didn\'t want to interfere with them so I sneaked to the side and spoke to Trianesna, the Village Chief.

"Ah! Kireina-sama!"

"I\'ve come to leave a Teleportation Gate, whenever the event you\'re having is finished, make sure to move all of your population to my Empire, there will be Secretary Succubus waiting for you, don\'t be rude and answer their questions!"

"Y-Yes! It will be done as you say… Thank you very much for your consideration"

Leaving the Teleportation Gate beside the Village, we moved towards our next destination, the Kelpie\'s village.

When we reached here, Aarae quickly let go of my grasp as he flew towards the village, first than anyone else.

The Kelpie was currently cooking different types of fishes, crabs, shrimps, and seaweed that they had hunted and gathered.

Ligurian, the Chief of the Kelpie Centaur was currently telling tales to the youngsters, while Ervin was grilling a large tuna-like fish.

"Eviiin!" shouted Aarae, as Ervin immediately stopped looking at the delicious fish as he once again encountered with Aarae\'s beautiful face.

"Aarae-chan?! You\'re back!" he said, as he flew towards my son while using the \'Levitate\' spell.

The two youths hugged each other tightly as Aarae\'s sparkling aquamarine eyes meet with Ervin\'s emerald eyes.

"Ervin, I missed you… We only met for a day, but the connection we made was something almost mystical… I wish we could have spent a little bit more of time together"

"Well, we are together now, aren\'t we?" said Ervin as he moved Aarae\'s chin towards him, their lips closing in a kiss.

It was all very adorable…

As the two lovebirds hugged and kissed each other, Ligurian greeted me with the rest of its children and siblings.

"Ohoho… Youthful love! Kireina-sama, you\'re finally back!"

"It is nice to meet you, Ligurian. I was a little bit surprised when my son freed himself from my grasp and immediately flew towards your son… I suppose he\'s not the little boy that was always scared of everything like before…"

"Ohoho, indeed, my Ervin was also quite shy"

"Anyways, we have come to leave a Teleportation Gate to my Empire, now that I\'ve finally conquered the Dungeon… here, make sure to answer all the questions that the pretty demon ladies ask you guys," I said, as I created a Teleportation Gate in the middle of the Village.

"So it\'s finally time to move out! My old bones are trembling with excitement to see the outside world! I am truly lucky to have survived enough to one day see it!" said Ligurian, as he called his village to pack everything up.

I decided to leave Aarae with Ervin, most likely because if I tried to take him with me, he would get very angry. I also left most of my family with the rest, instructing the people, and going back to the Empire on their own. I had another place that I wanted to go first.

Vudia and Ailine quickly entered the gates, hurrying it up to meet with Acathea in the Empire, so Rimuru and Brontes followed them so they wouldn\'t get lost or something.

Only Zehe, Alice, and Vajrara remained at my side, the other Vampires such as Keenan, Caedmon, Cassandra, and the rest went to the Empire to support the registration process that the Secretary Succubus had to do to over one thousand new citizens. Mao and Wall remained inside of my body, while the ten Chimeras went to slack off in the Empire.

"I\'m going to sleep for a week, Nyarr! It is really tiring when you transform, you grab all our powers with it… Nyarr… At least pay me!" roared Catterpillar as I saw him crossing the Teleportation Gate.

Shiny, the Golden Wyvern Chimera roared in affirmation, while carrying Catterpillar on its back.

"Catterpillar, don\'t be insolent with the Holy Mother," said Eldritch Goat, crossing the Teleportation Gate as well.

"Where are we going now, Honey?" asked Zehe, curious about our next destination, while Alice tightly grabbed my hips, Vajrara had entangled her snake tail around us as well.

"Well, they aren\'t exactly an intelligent race, but the different species of Dryads that we fought in the second Biome, which was a giant Jungle, could be useful in a variety of ways in the Empire, for the easy production of vegetables…"

"Ah! It\'s true, those Dryads were so varied, some even produced vegetables and even sweet syrup!" said Alice.

"Dryads? I have never met such creatures, I wonder if they could be of use to worship you, Master Kireina!" said Vajrara.

"We\'ll see, I am planning on enslaving them if things go to worst"

As I said this, we teleported in a flash towards the Second Biome, which made floors 11 to 20.

A vivid jungle filled our sight as different types of birds and other animals that lived over the trees made out this Biome\'s background sound.

Using the Dungeon Map, we quickly moved towards the settlements where the Dryads stayed. We first stopped beside large pools where Seaweed Dryads lived in, such subspecies were named Flow Kelp, their bodies had a dark green coloration and were covered in kelp leaves, they had gloomy expressions but were often fierce, setting up traps to catch prey with their leaves and devour them.

Using \'Water Manipulation\', I moved all of the water from the pools, revealing the surprised Flow Kelp alongside several other monsters living there, some struggled to breathe.

The Flow Kelp didn\'t know how to speak, but as I released my presence, they became stiff like rocks, quickly subduing to me, immediately being enslaved by my Titles as the System notified me of this.

The Flow Kelp then stood up and began to follow me like ducklings… they were around fifty if each pool population was counted.

"I-Impressive! To be expected of Kireina-sama!!!" Said Vajrara, who was mildly bewildered by such an easy demonstration of power, a large group of fierce demi-human-type monsters subdued to me without any complaints.

"These Dryads are very interesting, I wonder what kind of delicious types of soup we could make by harvesting their leaves," I said, and almost as if answering my orders, the Flow Kelp began to tear apart their leaves, offering them to me with smiles over their faces.

"Well… thanks"
