The Split Soul inside the Two-Headed Thunderstorm Dragon was large and still a bit delicious, but the bonuses that it gave to me were not as impressive as I had thought… although I acquired them, it was not as impressive, I suspect that the bonuses acquired will keep getting reduced until I cannot get anything until I finally manage to eat the main body.
My family was the same, my children and Rimuru only gained a small bit of extra stats through eating these souls… at the very least, their meat is delicious, and the Experience Points are still rather generous, three levels in a row are quite satisfying, to say the least.
And my skills still kept leveling up, so it was still a fruitful harvest.
My family had once again gathered the rest of the Divinity Fragments for me, which had become glass-like pieces of material, this time I decided to devour them all on the spot.
Ding!
[Kireina] acquired the [Many Small Fragments of Parasitism Divinity (Begudhur)]!]

[The Levels of the [Parasitizing Symbiosis Haven; Level 4], [Parasitized Husk Body; Level 3], and [Forceful Parasite and Host Mutualistic Bond; Level 3] Skills have increased!]
Indeed, the change in quality was clear, even if they were dozens of pieces, they did not give as many bonuses as the large piece.
Things seemed to have gone as planned and the entire group of Begudhur's Soul Clones was successfully annihilated.
Goghesdum put on a lot of work on her second day as a Dragon Maid, and she adapted quite quickly to her new strength after receiving my blessing and buffing skills, and Odanth did so as well at an even faster speed.
"We… We did it? We somehow killed them all! This was… too much for me… Haah…" sighed Odanth, her giant and serpentine body rested over the battlefield while gasping for air, she wasn't dying or anything but felt incredibly exhausted.
"You did quite well, Odanth," I said.
"Ah… Kireina-sama! I… You have my sincere thanks for helping me protect my city and my beloved citizens! A-And of course, Goghesdum-sama also has my… gratitude… Though, can you tell me now why is she wearing a Maid outfit? It even appears when she transforms into a Dragon" said Odanth.
Goghesdum quickly transformed into her humanoid form as she approached Odanth with a blushed expression in her eyes.
"Odanth… T-This is… well, since Kireina-sama saved me and my citizens from a similar fate than the one you were about to suffer, I gave myself to her… as her humble servant… A-And well, she desired me to wear this… there is also Yerze, my Priestess, who is also wearing something similar… she's currently in the Empire of Kireina-sama…" muttered Goghesdum, barely bring words to her mouth.
"Saved?! So this Monster Wave isn't something natural?! And servant?! …Fufufu, I never knew that you were into those things, teacher…" laughed Odanth mischievously.
"I AM NOT INTO IT! Get back into your Humanoid form so I can slap you for your insolence, Odanth!" roared Goghesdum, which only made things funnier for Odanth.
"Fufufu… Kireina-sama, how is Goghesdum as a servant? Is she good in bed? I've always wondered…" laughed Odanth.
"We haven't shared bed… yet," I said.
"K-Kireina-sama, what do you mean by 'yet'?!" asked Goghesdum.
"Hmm… Nothing" I said.
Goghesdum seemed to have been intimidated by the possibility of sharing the bed with me one day, so I decided not to pursue the topic for now, as I was interested in other things…
"A-Anyways, Kireina-sama… thank you very much for saving me and my city once again, I would be glad to compensate you… in various ways, fufu. But for now, I would also prefer if you and Goghesdum could tell me more about what is truly happening in the dungeon… Such as from where these strange souls inside these monsters originate from," said Odanth, covering her entire body in the blazing fire as she suddenly reduced her size tremendously, going back to her humanoid form, which according to Goghesdum was the one she used the most.
"I suppose we could talk things out and explain in detail, but let's go to your palace, where we can do things more relaxed than in the middle of this bloody battlefield," I said.
After taking a few minutes saving all the corpses of the monsters defeated, while also eating some to calm down my hunger, we moved towards the High Viper city's Palace, while Odanth went to alert her citizens about the 'news' of her victory due to my presence in the battlefield.
There were in fact many citizens that glanced at things in the same way I did with the High Lizardmen tribe, by projecting what I saw with my eyes into floating projecting 'devices' made with the Calamity Abyss Demon Brains and Hearts alongside many of my eyes.
"Even Goghesdum-sama, the eldest Elder Dragon obeys that fairy as the leader…"
"Odanth-sama, could Kireina-sama be a goddess too?"
"So a new goddess?!"
"Our goddess-sama will always be our goddess!"
"Yes, but we still have to recognize her strength and the help she gave to our goddess-sama (Odanth)"
"Well, my beloved citizens, it seems that everything has calmed down outside, so feel free to continue your celebrations, for now, Goghesdum-sama Kireina-sama, and I will make sure that nothing happens for now…" said Odanth.
"Let's continue the celebrations!"
"About time!"
"I'm glad it all ended well!"
"Bring the alcohol!"
It seems that unlike other races, High Viper seems way more carefree, and have already brushed off the nervousness or the worry of what had just happened. They seemed to be a forgiving race, as long as things end well, they do not care much about how it happened, and prefer to celebrate the victory and keep living happily.
There was also a large army of almost one hundred warriors, but they were not deployed as the fight had already ended when they were finally ready to fight… though I am fairly sure that they would have been crushed to death without much complication by the giant monsters, so I do not know what they were expecting of themselves.
As my family celebrated alongside the rest of the citizens by roasting and eating the many giant monsters defeated in this latest battle, which brought tons of meat for everyone to enjoy, I sat down in the middle of the palace over a small bed made out of cushions, alongside Odanth and Goghesdum, Rimuru, and Zehe.
Odanth did not possess normal chairs because she and the whole city had the lower halves of snakes and didn't need chairs to sit down and relax, as they could simply sit on their own tails or rest over their beds made out of soft pillows, where they would usually… seemingly have orgies.
Indeed, according to Odanth and Goghesdum, High Viper was a very sexually active tribe, even after becoming as intelligent or perhaps more than humans, they enjoyed the pleasures of intercourse, as their own races made them always have high sexual libidos due to the necessity to reproduce and make offspring.
After acquiring intelligence, this libido did not decrease and seemed to have been boosted now that the High Viper was able to forge relationships and understood love, art, and more.
They became a race centered in enjoying life, in the passion of sex and love, and in many parts where they could express such blossoming feelings that constantly overwhelmed their hearts.
They were a race of passion and love in all the senses of the words.
And the deviancy that Goghesdum pointed out to me before arriving here that Odanth possessed was acquired by being influenced by the High Viper as she nurtured and raised them through many generations.
"So that's how it is… It is still a bit unbelievable, but after seeing how strange and grotesque were the souls of those monsters… I cannot deny the proof that confirms what you say. The Demon Demigod of Parasitism, Begudhur, who was sealed before any of us was even born in the dungeon had awakened, and he seeks to grow strong through parasitizing us through his powers and army… it does really sound like a fantastical tale that would only be told to little children that do not want to sleep early… But it is true," said Odanth.
"I'm glad you're more mature than Goghesdum makes you be, Odanth," I said, praising the Elder Dragoness, whose beauty was rather outstanding.
"You know what? I always thought that Goghesdum-sama's words of 'becoming a god' and all of that things were pure gibberish, I never thought it possible for us to simply become something like that, they are just tales after all, right? But after seeing living proof multiple times, it is hard to deny it… especially in Kireina-sama herself, your aura is that of many gods, apparently…" said Odanth.
"G-Gibberish?! It is clear as water that gods exist, Odanth! You are the ignorant one in here for trying to deny the existence of higher beings that have created our Realm, foolish girl! I have been developing you and your siblings alongside myself for the moment where we would finally raise into godhood, but you thought it was always gibberish? Sigh…" muttered Goghesdum.
"Well, it all ended fine anyways, so stop getting so angry, Goghesdum-sama! It is very rare to see your beautiful humanoid form! So why don't you give me a nice smile instead?" laughed Odanth as she approached Goghesdum and teased her with her tail, entangling her body and touching her delicate neck and large breasts without any hint of shame.
"A-Agh! L-Let me go you pervert!" said Goghesdum while blushing a moaning.
I and my wife's present decided to stare at the cute family moment for a bit, as I decided to continue just before Goghesdum were to fall unconscious over lacking lungs on her body due to Odanth being too rough on her by entangling her chest.
"Well, Odanth, you can move that for later… for now, just like Goghesdum, I will ask you politely (just this time) to bring your people to my Empire so they can be secure from the menaces down below in here…" I said.
Begudhur was a convenient common enemy to use as my advantage, so I could easily convince Odanth of bringing the High Viper to my Empire.
"That is right, guu! Our Empire is immense and filled with nice people everywhere, your people will be given individual properties, food every day, and more! As long as they work their worth in the dungeons or by working in many other facilities, business, and more, they will prosper!" said Rimuru.
"That's right. We have been lacking artists such as the talented High Viper, so it would be of great benefit for us to bring them all to our Empire, their art will be greatly appreciated by many, and will also sell quite well" said Zehe.
Odanth let go of Goghesdum as she nodded.
"I see! It is the least I can do, after all, without you and Kireina-sama… I would be dead, and my citizens would have been most likely eaten… there is not much I can say or ask, the safety of my people is the top priority, and if I can assure that through moving them to a new Empire, then it is decided! I can feel that all of you are good people that can be trusted, your words seem honest and sincere" said Odanth with a charming smile.
"That's good to know, then let's move to the next topic," I said.
"N-Next topic?" asked Odanth, as I moved towards her and began to glance at her humanoid body in high detail.
She had a beautiful upper body with glossy chocolate-skinned beauty, covered slightly by red and orange scales around her neck, shoulders and hands, her lower body was an incredibly long snake-like dragon tail that surpassed a lot of meters, her hair was long and bright red, and her eyes were black in the area that should be white, while her pupils were red and blazing.
Her chest was rather big, but not as big as Goghesdum, and her hips also lost to her… but she was an incredible beauty, nonetheless.
"K-Kireina-sama? You're so close… Oh? Do you want to do it?" asked Odanth with an aroused smile.
"Maybe one day. But I was trying to get your measures… Aaand, there you go" I said, as I created a new maid outfit out of thin air through my Organic Equipment Materialization and Creation Skill.
It was a different design, more fitting for Odanth, which revealed more of her curses, stomach, and breasts, it also revealed her neck and shoulders completely.
"A-A Maid outfit…? W-Wait a second… you don't mean…?!" asked Odanth.
"It is exactly what I mean, you're the third member of the Dragon Maids!" I said, with passion burning in my scarlet eyes.
Odanth glanced at me with a troubled expression on her face.
However, she ultimately used the maid outfit as she found it pretty and sexy, and like this, the third member of the Dragon Maids was recruited!
