Today I woke up quite earlier than other days, as I was being called by the Gods, specifically Maeralya and Marnet through Agatheina's artifact.

"Kireina-sama, the eggs!" said Maeralya.

"The eggs will soon hatch, please, hurry up!" said Marnet.

As it was an urgency, the reincarnations of the Moonfang, Sunclaw, and Habitis were about to hatch from the eggs I laid. It could be said that they were technically my children, or simply monsters I created through my flesh, similarly to the Chimera Family.

The eggs were of course resting inside of my room, and as I glanced at them, they were indeed hatching. I wondered how the Gods realized this sooner than me, but it might be due to their connection through the bloodline. Although I must have one with them too, I did not feel anything and I was sleeping peacefully, in fact.

"Oh yeah, they're actually hatching… Alright, can you two descend?" I asked them.

"It would be quite the big waste of Divine Energy, but-"

"Kireina-sama, don't worry, we are able to see through the eyes of our believers and blessed children, you already possess our blessings, we simply need you to allow us to see through your eyes," said Maeralya.

Oh right, I actually was not blessed by them directly, but 'stole' the blessing after having eaten the families of Sunclaw and Moonfang respectively, as both leaders were blessed by them… I guess they never found anything bad about this, and perhaps found it convenient, as they did not need to waste Divine Energy to bless me directly.

"Alright… though how do I even do that?" I asked as I walked out of bed to glance at the eggs hatch, my wives were slowly waking up due to the noise of cracking eggshells.

"Err, well, it might be a bit embarrassing for you…" said Marnet.

"But you have to offer us a prayer… Anything will do, really, just think about us through a faithful manner," said Maeralya.

"What? Really? Okay…"

Marnet and Maeralya were already Demigods, so I had to simply think in a 'faithful' manner to do what is considered a 'prayer'… but how do I do that?

Well… Hm, faith, faith… I have just to believe in them. I already believe that they exist…

Oh, Marnet-sama and Maeralya-sama, please answer my prayer… bless my Empire with great prosperity…

I prayed.

"Did it work?" I asked.

Suddenly, my eyes felt charged with a different feeling, a golden hue took hold of them.

"Ah, yes, we can see through your eyes now, Kireina-sama!" said Maeralya.

"Good to know… Ah, I see a few… paws?" I said.

"Paws… Wait, paws?" asked Maeralya.

"Yeah… so are they not demi-human?" asked Marnet.

"It seems so…" I said.

"Honey, what is going on?" asked Zehe.

"Guuu… GUU?! The eggs are hatching!" said Rimuru.

"Eggs?!" asked Ocypete.

"Not yours, you haven't even laid them!" said Smilkas.

"Ah…" muttered Ocypete.

"Wait, the eggs… oh right, Moonfang and Sunclaw's eggs?" asked Brontes.

"Ah, so those little babies are finally about to be born!" said Nesiphae.

"Let's go see them!" said Lilith.

My wives quickly jumped out of our giant bed, surrounding the eggs alongside me, as we watched them hatch slowly but steady.

"Ah! Is this egg Moonfang, right? That paw is quite big! Is it a cat in there?" asked Charlotte.

"It seems so, I believe it might be just a Lion…" I said.

"A Lion?!" asked Lilith.

"Oh! And this one with the gray tattoo… is it Sunclaw, right?" asked Ismena as she pointed out the breaking egg.

"That's right… This might be… a giant wolf, it seems," I said.

"Oh, and this one at the middle! Look, the fur is scarlet-colored?!" asked Nixephine.

"Ah, that's Habitis- oh, I should call Cathin…" I muttered.

Using my Slime Clones, I quickly went to look for Cathin, who was peacefully sleeping on his bed, the young boy was a bit startled but hurriedly came here alongside his loyal maid and guardian, Cassamia Lisia.

"I am here with Cathin-sama, Kireina-sama," said Cassamia.

"Haahh… uff, puff… I am… here… Agh, so they're hatching?!" asked Cathin.

"Indeed, come here, boy. Your family and your sister Habitis are having a new beginning, it is important for them to see your face straight away from the moment they are born," I said.

"Is it important? I understand…" said Cathin, glancing at the large, almost one meter of height eggs hatching slowly. We glanced with silence and expectation as the large paws began to tear down the hard eggshells, even the claws of the young were already formed within their paws, tearing apart the eggshell, which should be as hard as a Divine Material.

"Now that I remember, didn't the Heroes of Sunclaw, Haruko and Eifert gave away their blood as well? Ah, I also did now that I recall… W-Wait a second, so this is like having a child with Cathin-sama?!" asked Cassamia with fluster on her face.

"D-Don't think of it as too deep…" muttered Cathin.

"And about those two, they should be here… right now," I said, as within my body, a rift in space broken off and the two figures of the heroes of Sunclaw, Haruko, and Eifert, appeared. They seemed to have been just as sleepy, and by the way, both were living together. After the war, they seemed to have confessed each other feelings and now are a couple.

"Ah… Cathin-sama, Kireina-sama, everyone, good morning…" muttered Eifert.

"Good morning," said Haruko.

"To think that our children would be born so soon…" muttered Eifert.

"Ah, I suppose they're also your children, at least Sunclaw. Well, Habitis will be the daughter of everyone that cooperated there, she might end up creating the connection between families," I said.

"I suppose they are indeed like our children… Though I wonder if they remember their past?" asked Haruko.

"Most likely not, at best, only fleeting memories, their souls were far too damaged to have all of their memories intact, and due to the souls merging together, a new personality, most likely being a fusion of all the previous ones was born. The same could be said for Moonfang, but not for Habitis, as she was fairly mentally stable, I only gave a few monster souls and a piece of my own soul to strengthen her soul enough, but her mind and memories should remain," I said.

"I see…" muttered Haruko with a sleepy expression, as she glanced at the eggs hatch with a bit of excitement.

"This is way too abrupt, but I suppose we can adapt to it…" said Eifert.

"Sigh, I am glad that Habitis nee-sama will have her memories intact at the very least… Although, I am rather worried about her adapting to her new appearance…" said Cathin.

Just as Cathin dropped those words, the three eggs cracked for the last time, the pieces of white eggshell flew through the air as the creatures within were revealed.

Crack, crack, crack!

A beautiful and majestic young lioness emerged from the egg to the right, her body was a bit less than one meter of height, her fur was iridescent, glowing with bright gold color. Her eyes were deep emerald while releasing yellow hues. At her forehead, he had a small tattoo printed into her fur with a darker shade of gold, which seemed to look like a sun. She had a slim yet sturdy-looking body, and her tail waved around with excitement, glancing around everywhere.

She was the reincarnation of Moonfang's souls, the Lioness that I named Maahes. 

The egg on the left was cracked as a beautiful young wolf emerged, with a body covered in gray and dark fur that seemed incredibly fluffy. Its eyes were scarlet red, and its presence exuded an air of darkness and stillness. Its height was almost the same as the lioness, and the wolf glanced at everyone around itself.

He was the reincarnation of Sunclaw's souls, the Wolf that I named Ophois.

And last but not least, the egg in the middle that had a crimson-colored tattoo broke in half, as a tinier creature than the other two emerged. At first glance, it resembled a cat, something similar to a wild cat, with a face that had a resemblance to housecats while having long whiskers. However, its snout was oddly too pointy, similar to a dog, and its ears were clearly similar to that of wolves. Its size was a few dozen of centimeters lesser than the other two, but it held great strength within. Its fur was crimson red, and its eyes glowed in golden colors. It had retractable claws like a cat, but its legs resembled that of a wolf.

It was Habitis, who had been reborn as a being that possessed the combined bloodlines of both the Feline and Canine God Family.

"They're born…!" said Maeralya.

"We have not had children in a while… though, I wonder why they are not demi-human?" asked Marnet.

"For now, be happy that they were born good and healthy," said Maeralya.

"Y-Yes… though, those presences…! They're clearly Divine!" said Marnet.

Instead of being terrified or something, the three glanced at us, until Ophois barked playfully.

"Bark!" said Ophois, waving its cute tail as everyone was shocked by such cuteness.

"Aw, such a good boy," said Zehe.

"Here, here," said Rimuru.

"Are these really gods? Well, their presences are quite divine…" said Nesiphae.

Although Ophois was playful, Maahes and Habitis remained in silence as they glanced at their surroundings.

Suddenly, Habitis realized that Cathin was at her side.

"Nee-sama?" he asked.

Habitis glanced at Cathin's emerald eyes as its eyes seemed to widen.

"Meow!" said Habitis, jumping over Cathin as she began to lick his face as if she were an actual dog.

"Agghh…! Do you remember me?" asked Cathin.

Habitis suddenly fell silent for a moment as its divine aura began to gather around her head… in an instant, a voice resonated from within her head and did not form within her mouth.

"Yes, I do! Cathin-chan! I missed you so much!" said Habitis with the same voice as her previous life.

"It can speak, so they're not simply beasts?" asked Maeralya.

"I can speak too, by the way," said Maahes.

"Pet me! Pet me!" said Ophois, he began to speak as well through telepathy.

"You can actually speak! Stop acting like a dog then!" said Marnet.

"Who are you?" asked Ophois, answering the artifact where Marnet spoke.

"You don't even recognize your father!" said Marnet.

"Father? Huh? My father and mother are her!" said Ophois, pointing at me with its snout.

"Ah, well, I guess I laid your egg… So, there is some connection with me in that regard, I suppose you don't remember anything from your previous life, Ophois?" I asked the cute wolf.

"Not much, I just remember that we used to have one, but there are no memories, just feelings of those times, mother. By the way, I am hungry! Mother, do you have anything to eat?" said Ophois.

"Well yes, let's prepare breakfast, my… child," I said, petting Ophois fluffy gray fur as I called my Slime Clones and the Arachne and Dragon Maids.

I suppose calling it my child is fine, and he himself does seem to treat me as his mother, unlike the Chimera Family, well, a few of them treat me as something like a 'matriarch' but they are not so attached to me.

"I don't remember anything either, but my mind seems quite well developed despite that, and I have a few personalities merged together within me. It feels as if I was made by many pieces of different individuals, but I also don't possess their memories, only their natures," said Maahes with a very calm voice.

Unlike newborn children, Ophois and Maahes seemed to be self-aware amnesiac patients that had accepted their new life incredibly quickly.

Habitis in the other case has all her memories intact, but when she hatched off her egg, she seemed to have been dazzled and this was why she did not recognize Cathin for a bit.

"I remember the whole incubation… It was a very boring week… or more than a week?" asked Habitis.

"It was indeed more than a week, but I am glad you were born without complications, how do you feel?" I asked her.

"I feel… quite fine, thanks, mother- Ah! …I guess I should not call you like that," said Habitis.

"No, it is actually fine," I said, petting her fluffy forehead.

"R-Really?" she asked.

"Yeah, why not? It does not affect me negatively, and I am willing to be your mother, Habitis, be happy and embrace your new life. By the way, how's your soul?" I asked her. I had given Habitis a piece of my soul for an experiment, her soul seemed to have emerged with it, increasing most of her mental capabilities.

"I am… I feel very good, actually. Ah, and there is this little friend I made… It was a lump of the darkness of a Demigod that you might… remember," said Habitis.

"Oh, Geggoron, is it?" I asked. I had assumed as much, Geggoron's residual soul became small wills within the three children, but it was easily suppressed by their superior souls, and now his powers and memories belonged to them.

"Yeah, he's something like a split mind of me now, though he doesn't want to speak now, he's too terrified- Who are you calling terrified?!" spoke Habitis, as her voice suddenly became angrier and Geggoron spoke through it.

"I see… Well, this Geggoron is not the true one. The real one lays within my belly, and he was completely digested by this point without leaving anything behind within me. I don't have to worry as much with you, as Habitis can easily suppress you," I said.

"…It seems that he's back," said Habitis, as Geggoron quickly retrieved back to her head.

Habitis was not the only one, it seems that Maahes also had a Geggoron similar to it, but Ophois ended up assimilating it completely, so the will left dissipated and became part of the true mind. I will be monitoring Maahes and Habitis, so I don't have much to worry about.

After many introductions with my children, we had a large breakfast and spent the rest of the day inspecting the newborns with the Gods. The three of them seemed to have unique race names and seemed to belong to the Divine Species Category, similar to my children.

They could shape and use Divine Energy, and also produced it, but very lightly. Their names were also interesting, as all three of them were named as 'Beast Kings', even if Habitis and Maahes were girls.

Ophois was the Wolf Beast King, Maahes was the Lion Beast King, and Habitis was the Felines and Canines Beast King. Such title seemed to have never seen before, according to Agatheina, proving that their existences were even more unique than we all had imagined.

No Epic Skill showed up, although they're technically my children, perhaps there are some conditions for the acquisition of this Epic that they were not able to comply with, or so is my guess.
