The Heavenly Martial Empress Returns: An OP Xianxia Returnee LitRPG

Chapter 30: Delicious Divinity

-----

This little creature wasn’t an egg yolk after all. Although I got slightly scared it might have been born ahead of time, the egg had just reached the 30-day quota. How? Well, I accelerated the time of my Inner Realm and simply made it ready in just a day or two.

While my sister got that overpowered Doppelcat named Felix, I acquired this type of Slime Monster creature. I didn’t know what it was, and once I checked its status, I was given just a bunch of errors. It was as if the system was unable to assimilate with this little buddy, so it showed all sorts of gibberish.

By merely analyzing the entity with my eyes, I could tell why that was the case; it contained a large quantity of the power it inherited from me, including the Immemorial Primordial Essence. It had become an entity beyond the System’s control, and it apparently instinctively refused system integration too.

But from the information I got using my Heavenly Eyes of Deciphering, part of the many abilities contained within my Nine-Colored All-Seeing Eyes, I learned it was called “Primordial Voidling," and it apparently was an entity of the Void, something I had not seen before.

A natural inhabitant of the Outer Cosmos, beings that thrive in the void itself!

“Puwaah~” However, she or he was way too adorable to fit such a name and title, already beginning to nap over my head after eating all it wanted.

“It sure is cute, though!” My sister said, analyzing the little slime ball. “It reminds me of a video game character we used to play a lot back then, big sis! Remember? What was the name? karb… kirbo?”

“Kirby!” I said. “Hahah! Yes, it is quite similar! It does have that pink color and the blue eyes. And it can absorb things by inhaling them as well. Okay, I’ll name you Kirby then.”

“Buuwah…” Little Kirby continued to sleep soundly.

“Are you even listening to what I said, you…?!” I was about to grab him and stretch him, but Hekita was fascinated by the pet.

“Papa, can I carry Kirby?” She asked, looking really hopeful.

“W-Well, if you want to, Here.” I gave it to her. "Kirby, don’t do anything dangerous to her; you heard me?”

“Biwiwi…” Little Kirby nodded while trembling like gelatine before my pressure.

Hekita grabbed him and started stretching him, biting him, slashing him, opening him, and even putting him inside her mouth and spitting it.

“Hehehe, he’s so flexible!” She laughed as she stuck him to the ground and started running out of the house to see how far she could stretch him.

“Guwiiii!” Kirby cried. Suddenly, it let go of Hekita and came back together into its compact form. “Guhh…”

“Hehehe, there you are! You shouldn’t have escaped yet!” Hekita was looking down at Kirby with menacing eyes only a child could have.

“Well, have fun with him~” I shrugged as I started serving lunch with my mates. “Everything’s almost ready, though. Hekita, go wash your hands.”

“Okay~” Hekita ran to the bathroom and washed her fluffy hands with Kirby resting over her head.

I served a bit of a feast for my whole family, including the idiot Juan, who I guess was family too. Though I don’t particularly enjoy seeing guys in my family, I am already used to an all-female group, but I guess he’s at least well-behaved and respects me.

“Today we prepared some new recipes I shared with Urbosa and Merkite! Meat dumplings, delicious spicy noodles, spring rolls, tempura shrimps, and also my favorite, Peking duck!” I presented them with a meal from the gods. “Enjoy!”

“Ooh, this is such a big feast!” Ashen was really happy.

“It sure looks tasty, honey! Well done- Hm! Ooh!” My mother instantly took a bite of the meat dumplings. “The meat inside is so soft, and it is slightly sweet and spicy? But not too much; you can taste all the meat flavors so well. There’s more than one type of meat here, right?”

“That’s right, my dear mother.” I smiled. “To pass the time in between many battles, I also made sure to practice the Gourmet Dao back in Murim, so I naturally have learned the way of wielding the ingredients of the world and weaving them into delicious meals that can both boost cultivation and make you feel stronger and healthier.”

“T-This is in another whole level of food; it even glows when I take a bite?!” Juan panicked. “I am a bit scared, but I can’t stop eating." He slurped the noodles without hesitation.

“Hmm! Sho good!” Ruby was devouring the spring rolls.

“This duck you prepared is so tasty, Bing Xue.” Urbosa was devouring it. “You cook so well! You’re such an ideal mate! I don’t think I will ever separate myself from you now, fufu!”

“I love the duck too!” Merkite was wagging her tail, happily eating. “Hmm, but this fried rice, and the crunchy shrimp as well! I didn’t think those water bugs would taste this good and be so soft!”

“Papa, I want more noodles!” Hekita asked me.

“Coming in~!” I happily served her another plate full of noodles. “Here are some more spring rolls that you ate so eagerly.”

“Hmm! Thank you!” My adorable Hekita quickly started eating happily.

As we enjoyed a delicious meal as a family, I decided to finally check the myriad of system messages that had appeared in front of me. Apparently, not only had I gained some experience points from slaying those bosses, but I also gained some shared experience from all the other slain monsters.

Ding!

[Congratulations! You and your Party have survived and completed three Dungeon Raids!]

[Due to the accumulated support and the monsters you’ve slain or helped to slay, you’ve earned Raid Score Points based on your achievements.]

[Based on the number of lives your monsters take, you will earn large quantities of Faith Points and Dungeon Points, which you can use to further upgrade your {Divinity Tree} and your {Dungeon Dimension}.]

There were a lot of new weird words I hadn’t heard before. So I can use this new Title to raid other worlds? How strange! I wouldn’t really like to take away innocent lives, so I might skip this entirely unless I can find worlds simply filled with wild monsters or beasts. Hmm, this could perhaps work to raid an enemy base, though.

As for its functions, Faith Points have been named once more, and something else is called Divinity Tree, yet I possess none of such things yet. I suppose the System is somehow trying to process things I have with things I don’t.

Nonetheless, a Dungeon Dimension sounds like an interesting new little toy to play around with later.

But there were annoying notifications as well…

[The Tower God {Lord Of Deep Darkness} is screaming in utter agony as you’ve eaten over twenty Divinity Fragments imbued into his twenty different Undead Avatars!]

[He feels too weakened! He has fallen into a deep slumber within the Underworld!]

Oh, hahaha! So that was why I felt so powerful after slaying those monsters. My Mana increased so much, as did my Divinity! I was really slowly reaching this new Realm of the Gods. And I could have never guessed that just killing a bunch of random Undead would somehow weaken this stupid God.

Did he truly, by all that is sacred, send his strongest Avatars to die like that? I can’t believe the level of stupidity these Gods possess. They completely deserve what has happened to them at this point. With this level of foolishness, you simply can’t lead the world.

And asleep or not, it is not as if it were to matter to me anyway. I will now proceed to destroy his entire sect, just like I did with that goddess of light, who has become oddly silent since then.

“Very well, for now, I shall excuse myself for an hour or two,” I said, standing up after we finished our meal.

“Where are you going?” Urbosa wondered.

“Are you going to the city, by any chance? We can come with you if you want!” Merkite said.

“No, my dears, this is a more personal problem I must solve. Let’s say I must now purge the other side of the spectrum, if you understand what I mean.” I winked at them.

“Huh?”

“What?”

They were confused.

“Well, I will simply go kill every single member of the cult of the God of Deep Darkness, or whatever he’s called? Well, maybe not everyone, I will see into their minds and memories, those that might not be as bad could receive another punishment.” I said. “Is that clearer?”

“Oh, yeah, definitely.” Nodded Urbosa.

“So you’re… Huh?! Really? Will you be okay?” Merkite asked.

“Please, don’t ever, ever worry about my safety.” I smiled. “If anything, pray to the spirits that I’ll be merciful against them~”

FLASH!

I disappeared from the scene as my body moved at lightning speed across the entire world of Eclipse. I first decided to visit every big city where there was a cult organization hiding. I used all the information I gained from reading the minds of the cultists I hunted down some days ago to easily guide me through all of their hideouts.

One after another, they died like flies, their bodies splattered into countless tiny pieces by the mere presence of my Immortal Will crushing them down. The pressure alone was enough to kill all of them, without exception.

It wasn't until I reached the other Continent where... Actually, no, nothing changed. They all continued dying like flies. I ended up fighting five more Avatars, all dead, with a single swing of my sword.

They tried to transform into all kinds of dark and eldritch horrors using similar strategies to the priests and saints of the church of light, but it was completely meaningless.

“W-Why are you doing this?! We haven’t done anything to you! U-Unlike the Church of Light, we have not even dared to fight you!” The last member screamed the dark god’s strongest Avatar, a dark elf man named Erebus Alldark. Apparently something like the Archbishop for this dark god.

“Silence, demonic cultivator scum. Don’t you feel any shame asking me for mercy when I’ve seen thousands of corpses from the people you sacrifice daily to your evil god?!” I pressed my hand tighter on his tender neck. “You have no right to ask for mercy! Like the damned dog you are, you will die like one.”

“AAARRGH!”

He was unable to fight back; all of his mana now belonged to me. I tightly pressed my hand into his neck, and as his neck exploded into a burst of blood splattering everywhere, his head sent flying into the ceiling and then breaking open, falling back into the floor.

“Hah… I think I’m done now.”

I waved my hand and quickly threw away the blood and brain pieces stuck to it.

“Kirby, can you clean everything like before?” I called my little Voidling.

“Puguuu~!” Kirby bounced onto the floor, opening his maws and revealing a black hole inside.

And then he swallowed everything.
