<h4>Chapter 952 - [Ascendance Of The Goddess of Sins and Virtues] 73/?: Mao And The Slime Family''s Might!</h4>


    -----


    Kireina received a substantial boost to her powers now that she devoured the Dragon Gods, and after having rescued the fragmented souls of ire, Leonia, and Kaze, she was now watching calmly as her family decimated the Gods through the power they had trained for all this time, it was finally time to showcase all the power they truly had!


    Kireina watched at the reconstructed souls of the three allies of David, as she quickly moved them inside her Divine Realm, within the Hell Layer, and deposited them inside the Spring of Soul healing, the same one where Faylen had bathed herself to recover the wound left by Envy.


    Faylen wouldn''t participate in the battle of now, as she was still resting for the moment, although she was being apanied by Kireina''s true body clone, and was having a fun time dual cultivating.


    Kireina''s main consciousness, however, decided to watch over her family and allies as they showcased their powers and destroyed the Gods with their divine might.


    "ROOAAARR!"


    An enormous ck lion roared, rushing through the skies while pping gigantic draconic winds, its mane was gold and it had four crimson-red eyes, with sharp fangs and a red tongue coated with venom.


    Each of its limbs was muscr and hadrge retractile ws coated with deadly divine poison that could even affect Gods!


    Its soft and silky ck fur shined brightly as if it were glossy, and it had several metallic ck scales covering part of its body as well.


    The tail was long and possessed a sharp stinger on its tip, coating with divine poison which the beast fired like deadly projectiles.


    The despairing Gods of the Lower Realm trapped into this mess nced at this beast and only thought of it as a Divine Beast, deciding to target it and devour it!


    If they were to devour it, maybe they would be able to grow stronger and find a way to escape!


    Gravaler, the God of Metallic Alloy, and Trumglr, the God of Hammerstone flew towards the Lion beast, whose size was around 60 meters, roaring furiously as it fired venom bullets everywhere.


    The two gods resembledrge titans made of metal and stone, like enormous golems, their size was just a bit bigger than the lion, so they quickly conjured their Divine Techniques, creating giant boulders made of fused alloys and a gigantic hammer made of many types of hard stones!


    "Now, let''s kill it!"


    The two Gods flew at a faster speed than their heavy bodies would imply they could have, but the lion''s keen senses had already detected them!


    "Hmm, so finally someonees!" it said, with the voice of an adorable young girl.


    "Eh? It can… talk?!" asked Gravaler in shock.


    "It doesn''t matter, kill it!" roared Trumglr, as the two Gods gritted their metallic and stone teeth and unleashed their powerful Divine Auras!


    A rain of alloy boulders fell over the lion as the giant hammerstone reached to it as well!


    CLASH! CLASH!


    The two Gods expected the Divine Beast to die instantly by theirbined onught, but they suddenly realized that both of them hit each other!


    BOOM!


    The boulders crashed against the impact of the hammerstone, blowing both Gods away.


    sh!


    And then, a mass of shadows emerged above Gravaler, ring at it with its four crimson-red eyes!


    "Hehe, you fell for it, dummy!" itughed with a childish voice, as the lion rushed towards Gravaler who had been damaged, and it used its deadly ws to ravage the beast''s body, crushing it with constant attacks that carried powerful Skills and Techniques!


    The lion''s ws coated themselves in the deadly divine venom, although it b?r?ly affected a being made of metal, its corrosive properties were good enough to erode it and make it weaker, while the powerful ws cracked through the metallic body and reached the tasty soul.


    "UNNNGGRAAAAAGGH…! What kind of strength is this?! Y-You''re merely a Demigod Realm Divine Beast!" cried Gravaler, as the lion roared!


    "Gao?! I am not a Divine Beast! I am Mao! And I will be Master''s wife if I bring her a lot of meals, so die!" roared the powerful lion, who was actually Mao herself!


    "W-Wife?! What the… Nnnghh! GGGRRYAAAHH…!"


    CRASH!


    Mao''s powerful ws crushed through Gravaler''s core, which resembled arge jewel, and then reached his soul, crunching it with her powerful jaws and shing it with her ws, coating herself with her Shadow Divinity and absolutely decimating the God!


    BOOM!


    The entire god exploded into pieces, its entire physical body was a treasure trove of divine materials, and its soul was also a tasty treat for Mao''s beloved master, as she quickly saved everything inside her Inventory and red at the quivering God that was flying away from her, Trumglr!


    "Where are you going? To be a Master''s wife I have to work hard like my senpais! I have to show Master that I''ve improved and grown stronger by myself!" said Mao, as she rushed towards the terrified God who had his entire rocky body cracked due to the impact he received from Gravaler by ident!


    "G-Get away from meee!" cried the intimidating golem-like god, as he generated a giant hammer and threw it at Mao!


    "GRAO! Divine Shadow Jaws!"


    Mao, however, quickly employed her powerful Divine Skill, which she had acquired after fusing over many Skills together! This Skill used her Divinity of Shadows and epassed her jaws with it, enhancing to even greater levels as her jaws grew out of her lion head and be a grotesque specter, it was both a physical attack and a long-ranged one!


    "EEH?! W-What kind of technique is thaaat?!" cried Trumglr, as he was suddenly caught by the giant shadow jaws and dragged into the real ones!


    "Don''t resist! Don''t worry, the master is so nice that she will let you live inside of her Divine Realm~!" said Mao with an adorable voice, as she crushed the god''s entire body into debris, as her jaws tore apart the god''s soul and then saved it all inside her inventory!


    "Hehe! Two down! Master, did you see? Mao is working hard!" said Mao, as she cutely roared at Kireina, who was a giant mass of flesh coated in the bark.


    "I saw it Mao-chan, good work~!" said Kireina.


    "Hehe~! Now what should I kill~?" wondered Mao, as she flew through the battlefield, the Gods who saw her massacre had grown utterly terrified!


    Mao was perhaps one of Kireina''s first summons, whose skill she had acquired months ago when she devoured many humans. She was originally a Male Chimera Lion, who she upgraded by feeding it materials for Pets, and then ultimately made her evolve into a female Manticore by fusing several monsters pieces into her and even her slime.


    As she grew more attached to Kireina as her mount, she became more fascinated and devoted, however, as everyone grew stronger, she was mostly left aside due to the challenges being usually way too hard. Although she had participated in the fight against the demons defending the Kingdom.


    Kireina didn''t stop giving her attention, petting her whenever she could and going on trips over her back while she transformed into her Chimera Lion form.


    n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    After evolving into a Living Deity thanks to Kireina''s help, Mao went on a journey through Kireina''s Divine Realm to grow stronger and evolve more, and disappeared for several days as she dived into the Babel Dungeon by herself…ing back as a Demigoddess at Rank 6!


    Mao had be the Demigoddess of Chimeric Shadow Beasts, with the Authorities of [Shadows] and [Chimera Beasts], boosting her main power of shapeshifting and shadow-maniption by a lot!


    Now that she had gained such power by herself, she had grown more confident and wanted her master to love her more! Yes, she had be rather selfish and prideful, but it was part of being half-lioness.


    Kireina felt overwhelmed by her sudden love confession, but she quickly let her join the battle and prove her effort by killing a few Gods.


    Mao felt inspired, as she quickly dived into battle, seeking offerings for her master so she could reciprocate her love.


    Of course, Kireina didn''t need any of such things to ept her, she had a big heart and would happily wee Mao. However, the fight wasing, and she found it a good way for Mao to grow stronger and practice her powers through these battles, giving her the incentive that she would marry her as long as she worked very hard.


    And well, Mao was so motivated that she was ughtering Gods from left and right…


    "Haha… She''s very motivated… Wasn''t she a male before though? Hm… Well, not like I care. I wonder how intense she will be in bed… Ah, I shouldn''t think such things," thought Kireina.


    Mao was able to transform into a powerful giant Lion Divine Beast, which enhanced her power even more, and had giant draconic wings, powerful ws, and a stinger containing powerful venom.


    Kireina admired her performance as she grew eager to taste a bit of her love soon.


    A beautiful maiden made of slime of many colors flew through the intense battlefield, she wore a full set of armor with many decorations, which was pitch ck, and released a phantasmal and spectral aura of eerie and deadly presence…


    She created many colorful and armored arms, wielding powerful ck and phantasmal weapons of finely detailed creation, alongside other types of weapons such as zing javelins, a white staff of holy light, andrge blue ws.


    Her eyes shined with rainbow colors, but unlike Rimuru she could be considered a Titaness, going up to 60 meters, her long and slimy hair flowed with the colors of the rainbow, and she wielded arge ck helmet, alongside big Seraphin-like wings made of this rainbow slime behind her.


    The beautiful rainbow maiden wearing ck equipment flew through the skies, as she raised her weapons and greeted a wolf-shaped God covered by mes, with zing eyes, Dogevern, the God of Volcanic Beasts!


    "GGRRR…! I won''t go down without a FIGHT!" he roared, as he shed towards the beautiful multi-colored armored slime goddess, as her powerful weapons shed against his deadly zing jaws!


    CLASH!


    "Oh?!"


    The rainbow maiden was surprised as the deadly wolf God used his powerful jaws to break the weapons and shatter them!


    Crack… crack…! CRASH!


    "GAHAHAHA! Such feeble weapons can''t deal with my powerful jaws- GEH?!"


    However, the rainbow maiden was surprised for a split second, as she extended her slime tentacles around the wolf god''s jaw, entangling his neck and grasping his jaws with a strong grip!


    "GRAAAGGH…! GRAAAHH…!" cried Dogevern, as the rainbow armored maiden slimed, suddenly generating more deadly ck weapons out of thin air, and firing them at the wolf while she kept it entangled, his divine fire was deadly, but their regeneration speed was greater!


    "W-Wait… W-What are you doiiinnnngggg?! GGRRYAAAGGH…!"


    The wild wolf God unleashed more fire, but he continued to be impaled by the deadly ck weapons, vomiting blood as his soul began to be cracked and shattered!


    "GRAARRGH! STOP!" he roared, as he twisted his body and used his divine soul tounch a powerful beam of fire against the maiden, sting away her head and a big chunk of her torso!


    Dogevern flew away as he red at the motionless body of the goddess, she was done for!


    …Or was she?


    Plop!


    Two seconds after having her head and torso sted, a new one emerged out of thin air like nothing, surprising the Wolf God!


    "Ah?! W-What the- UNGNGGH?!"


    SLASH!


    A giant ck de suddenly pierced through his rear, all the way o his head, slicing his entire body in half! The de had been sneakily flying to his back while heughed at the "corpse" foolishly!


    "Hehe, you fell for it pretty easily!" theyughed with many voices, as the maiden flew towards the sliced corpse and divine soul, saving them inside her inventory.


    "Hm, the Slime Family has grown strong too…"
