As the countless of Dragon's heads fell to the ground, motionless, I browsed through my gains and then started to inspect the room, after some walking around, I found a great red door, similar to the one I came from floor 110. However, a strong heat emanated from its other side, perhaps this was the sealed door that leads to the Lower Realm?
Opening it, for now, would be rather troublesome if monsters from the outside begin to sneak inside and don't let us eat in peace, so I decided to leave it for another occasion.
Now… Where is the Dungeon Core?
I walked everywhere but did not find any clue or secret room, it was as if it didn't even exist. Judging it by my own dungeon, the Bloody Sacrifice Dungeon, a Dungeon Core should be located in the last room where the Boss was.
But there isn't anything!
Perhaps I will have to look around by using [Dungeon Assimilation]. This Skill has been incredibly useful for a lot of things, and has leveled up to level 4, in what will it evolve if it reaches level 10?
Anyways, for now, I decided to share with my family the conquest of this dungeon, with a massive celebration, a big feast made up of the Dragon's meat and other Lesser Dragons from the previous rooms.
My family entered the room not long after I started butchering, some of my wives immediately started to gather the countless items and equipment that dropped when the Dragon died. Surprisingly, I didn't see many of them with baffled expressions, it seems that they were already accustomed to my ridiculous feats? That's kind of boring…
Nonetheless, everyone still wondered why there were so many gigantic dragon heads on the floor, and even though I had already eaten the main body. After explaining some of the Boss's abilities, they ended up getting both terrified and intrigued.
"Was that really a Dragon or a Ghost?! How could it simply become a phantom and divide its body so much! That was an amazing cheat!" Said Amiphossia, accompanied by her ghostly group.
"And it could even divide its phantom limbs almost endlessly and control them from far distances as well, and with another skill, it could even materialize them… If this Boss's magic and regeneration abilities weren't sealed, it would seem as if it were immortal and invincible" Said Zehe, who immediately measured the absurd abilities of the Dragon Athos.
"He seemed intelligent, so whenever I conquer this dungeon and steal it with [Dungeon Snatch] I will ask him to teach you and your group how to do those feats, all of you are phantoms or ghosts, so it should be possible to learn," I said, directing my glare to Amiphossia and her group of servants.
"Oooh? Really? Will I be taught such things by an old and wise dragon?! Thanks, mommy!"
Amiphossia then jumped over me and with her immense giant strength, crushed me with her arms. Of course, because I was still on my giant demon form, with eight arms, sixteen wings, and five heads, she was the tiny one now, and she could barely hug my gigantic metallic heads.
"Mommy is so big! Can I mount you as well?" Said Ailine, while flying with the skill [Levitate].
"Ah! Me too, me too!" Said Vudia, while flying with her golden wings.

"Well if you want to, but be careful not to touch the spikes, they're very sharp"
My children wondered around my colossal body and Valentia and Ryo even tried to damage by strong metallic skin, only to have their attacks completely reflected.
"Uaah! What is this transformation? You're such a cheat, mother!" (Ryo)
"Mommy, will I ever be able to transform into such a giant one day?" (Valentia)
"If you two work hard and train and level up your skills, I think that it wouldn't be hard to even surpass me in the future, but for now, I'm not going to lose!"
The reason why I didn't go back to my original form is that having eight gigantic, metallic and sharp arms was very useful when butchering such massive Lesser Dragon Corpses and the Dragon Boss Countless Heads. I only needed to shapeshift my arms into sharp blades and easily butcher and slice everything, I could even let some of my arms doing something else, like starting a fire, boiling the meat, slicing it, and making other delicious preparations.
And like this, as a Giant, I ended up cooking dinner in two hours, everyone then feasted happily. I already had my fill, but I wanted to join in with my family, so I went back to my original form, by "eating myself". I extended my Slime body over my entire armor skin and literally digested myself until the armor was completely gone. The thing remaining was a giant Black Slime, I named this form Chaos Slime, I even had four black horns and a demon-like tail. Shapeshifting my appearance once again, I was once again the fairy that everyone knew.
The flesh of the Dragon Athos was already superb and a delicacy just raw, but cooking it and properly seasoning it just made it even better. Its blood was boiling hot and incredibly spicy, but also had hints of sweetness and made anyone who drank it get addicted, it was a sauce without even changing it at all, and just by pouring it over any food make it all overall better.
Amazing potions could be made with this blood as well and if solidified, even armor and accessories. And let's not even talk about its scales, horns, fangs and claws, all of them of incredibly high quality, wonderful equipment could be crafted with them, all of the adventurers and heroes of the world would most likely fight for such materials.
After its defeat, Athos dropped hundreds of Potions, Gemstones, and countless riches and equipment, it was a pile of riches that suddenly appeared out of thin air, celebrating its defeat. These drops were most likely affected by my high Luck.
There was a whole set of equipment that seemed to be made of Athos's scales, fangs, claws, and blood, it was named [Ancient Wisdom Dragon Athos's Armor Set], it was all of [Mythical+++] quality, the best quality and rank that mortals have access to other than heroes with their Legendary and above equipment.
This set could be good for Truhan, but I don't think that he would willingly wear heavy armor. In the end, I decided to just eat it. None of my wives had both affinities with fire and liked heavy armor at the same time. Kaguya already had two sets of equipment, and Nesiphae didn't want either, so I just ate it. None of my children had an affinity to it either.

[Kireina] learned the following Skills]
[Ancient Dragon's Flesh and Blood]
[Grand Overlord]
[Ancient Wisdom Dragon of Lava and Earth Athos's Hellish Armor]
As the feast continued, I shared some of my thoughts with my family about this small journey we had, and how everyone became stronger, I also congratulated the Fire Oni for accompanying us this far, they have been obedient servants and were surprisingly loyal without brainwashing them.
After plenty of hours, I decided to explore the room fully in search for the Dungeon Core, Rimuru and Zehe ended up accompanying me as we inspected the walls.
By using [Dungeon Assimilation], I can assimilate parts of a dungeon and move them as if they were my own limbs, opening walls, floors, and doors with ease. By repeatedly using this Skill, we explored every wall and corridor, but most of the time, we only discovered that those holes only led us to the outside of the Lower Realm, were an environment filled with the Rocky Mountains, charcoal forest and lava rivers greeted us.
Aside from the astonishing harsh beauty of the place, it was also filled with gigantic monsters, which made some of the behemoths we found inside of the dungeon resemble puppies or house cats.
However, after inspecting the Boss's room for a second time, and by using [Automatic Dungeon Mapping], I finally discovered a hidden passage, it was incredibly thin for it to be almost impossible to be found.
Using [Dungeon Assimilation] once again, I spread the walls, creating a long and wide corridor that led to a hidden room, it was rather small, but inside of it, a gigantic golden sphere shined brightly, it was connected to the hidden room's walls. Thousands of magic circuits connected the sphere with the dungeon, supplying it with energy, it was a Dungeon Core.
"Ah, Honey, here it is!" (Zehe)
"The Dungeon Core, guu!" (Rimuru)
The Dungeon Core seemed to be weakened thought, perhaps because the God of this Dungeon overused its functions and inserted too much Divine Energy at once, it even had small cracks around.
I then used [Dungeon Assimilation] and touched the core, a powerful force tried to reject my touch, but my skill made my hand part of the Dungeon, fooling the Core and making it calm down after some seconds. Manipulating its structure, I healed every crack or damaged area of the Core and then used [Dungeon Snatch].
"[Dungeon Snatch]!"
Flash!
A felt as if my Soul shaped itself as a dark hand, with long claws, greedily grabbing on the Dungeon Core and forcefully injecting my essence and energy into it. The Golden Dungeon Core then began to turn black, with hints of purple and red.
Zap! Zap!
A powerful electric force appeared but was quickly subdued, the Dungeon Core then changed completely its colors, becoming a chaotic sphere, where the colors of black, purple and red spiraled endlessly, like the void itself.
Ding!

Both Rimuru and Zehe were also admiring the Dungeon's status. Zehe was the first one to bring some of her opinions.
"It has a lot of skills and traits that our dungeon lack, but it also lacks a lot of skills that our dungeon has… It's very strange… Also, zero Dungeon Points? Even for a god, there should be at least a few thousand, but nothing at all?"
"Guu… But it's level 43! That's insanely high, guuu! Is this why it has so maaaany floors, masta?"
"Most likely, levels are related to the dungeon's floors and space inside of them, the higher the levels the larger a dungeon can grow and the more floors it can fit inside…"
As I browsed through the Dungeon's status, I also found a lot of uncompleted Dungeon Tasks! This God was slacking off a lot, he could have gotten way more dungeon points if he completed these tasks��� It seems that he spent them all when he created all those Spawn Artifacts to kill us.
Ding!
[Bloody Sacrifice Dungeon]'s Unique Skill [Dungeon Devour; Level 4] has been activated, however, it needs the Master approbation]
[Approve of this?]
[>YES NO]
"Dungeon Devour? So that's the Skill is used to assimilate the small Shrine Dungeons… I didn't really care back then because those dungeons were abandoned and didn't belong to anyone, not even me"
"What does it mean, guu?" (Rimuru)
"It perhaps means that both Dungeons will be able to connect, possibly merging into a bigger dungeon bellow the Kingdom… This Dungeon seems strong, so I don't see why we shouldn't" (Zehe)
"I agree, I don't see the harm on it, also the task will be able to be shared through dungeons, so the Rin Sisters and their assistants can do them for us"
"Masta is very lazy!"
"Indeed…"
"H-Hey! I don't really like this management thing, it's not fitted for me. I just beat the last boss, give me some slack"
As I rambled around, I selected "YES" in the System notification.
Ding!
[The [Dungeon Devour] Skill from the [Bloody Sacrifice Dungeon] has been activated]
[Both Dungeons are being merged, please wait and sit tight]
"Sit tight?"
As the System told us to sit tight, the entire tower-like dungeon started to tremble intensively as it has never done before.
"I never thought it would be this chaotic!"

But in a distant place, a single altered person stirs from her sleep as the Fog fades. With no Humans for hundreds of miles and a [Quest] that all other Altered share guiding her newly inhuman mind, the newly born serpentine but humanoid monster will have to fight for survival and dominance in a world hellbent on her death, with that violent, pathological hate coming not just from the remaining Humans.
