"This… Oh! It's already happening, isn't it?" asked Hodhyl.

​​

"It seems that Kireina-sama had managed to break the seal into Geie's Divine Soul!" said Morpheus.

"Incredible…! And if Geie is truly a fragment of the Great Divine Soul of Gaia… then wouldn't that mean that she managed to break the seal of a Great God?!" asked Merveim.

"That's right! Amazing, we couldn't expect less from Kireina-sama!" said Maeralya.

"D-Does this means that we'll get such an ancient and strong Titan as Gaia-sama as an ally?!" asked Bovdohr.

"It all thanks to Kireina-sama, of course!" said Nomera.

"Silence! Don't interrupt her ritual!" said Agatheina.

Flash!

Gaia expanded her Divine Soul, embracing the shield and the enormous Mountain Golem, as Kireina glanced at her alongside the rest of the Gods.

Gaia's Divine Soul began to slowly absorb the two, as her soul began to adhere to the shield and the mountain golem.

Suddenly, her Divine Soul, the Shield, and the enormous Mountain Golem flew into the sky, merging into a glowing mass of golden color.

Gaia's mind dived into a dark place, as she glanced at the two tiny beings in front of her…

One of them had the shape of a shield and contained a part of her original soul, and the other had the shape of a tiny mountain, whose soul was not part of her originally, but for some reason, it held an immense similarity to hers.

"Ah… I… I remember a bit…" muttered the shield, as she slowly floated towards Gaia's consciousness, merging with her.

"Let us become one… my fragment…" said Gaia, as the tiny mountain stood floating there.

"Helloooo… Are you the one that will make me strongeeeer?" asked the tiny mountain.

"My child… You are not a part of me, yet you feel like one… Are you fine with becoming one with me?" asked Gaia with concern.

"Yeees… It is what Master wants… I can become stronger like that, right?" asked the tiny mountain.

"You will… but are you certain?" asked Gaia.

"Why wouldn't I? Your presence… You feel like a sister to me!" said the tiny mountain.

"And who might your mother be?" asked Gaia.

"Mama… Mama is Master!" said the tiny mountain.

"I see… I will make sure to make you stronger… You shall become one with me, and also, become one by yourself soon enough, I guarantee you," said Gaia.

"Really?" asked the tiny mountain.

"Hm, I will help you be reborn, gentle, innocent, and beautiful soul," said Gaia with a motherly smile, as the tiny mountain flew towards her and merged with her.

"Thanks…" said the tiny mountain.

Flash!

"My power is surging… but… it is not enough? This…" muttered Gaia, as her transformation suddenly began to falter.

Kireina, however, had already prepared a plan B for this.

"Ah, so it's not enough… Here," said Kireina, as she extended her large and monstrous soul, and cleaned an area from impurities, cutting it mercilessly as she threw it towards Gaia. Alongside this, she opened her Item Box and released many materials, equipment, monster corpses, and more, that were all of Earth Attribute, she also included a few liters of her nutritious blood, flesh, bones, horns, eyes, organs, brain, and more, which were able to give a lot of mass.

"And last but not least… Create, Earth," said Kireina, raising her palms as suddenly, enormous quantities of Earth Attribute Mana began to flow from her body towards Gaia.

Flash!

"Ah… this…!"

Gaia's enormous golden soul began to tremble as it grew even bigger, expanding and expanding…

And then, it began to contract itself.

Flash!

"This is… her soul? Even… She is even giving me her memories. Part of them… but why? This… Ah! …I see, so you saw mine… Fair enough," said Gaia, letting herself be embraced by the power and energy given by Kireina's soul fragment, strong enough to complete her 'transformation'.

Gaia gently fell into the ground, as her new physical body was finally created through the vast amount of materials given to her, which also included the Phantasmal-Rank Shield and the Mountain Golem.

Her humanoid body was not near as big as her original one, only being almost three meters. Her beautiful and womanly proportions were revealed through the silhouettes of her body that were being covered completely in the bright golden light, as it slowly began to dissipate like small particles of light.

Revealing her new body, Gaia emerged. Her chocolate-skinned body held great and beautiful proportions, her breasts were large, and her hips wide, as if she had given birth to many children already.

Her beautiful and glossy chocolate-skinned body was slightly covered by stone, jewels, and metals, while her big and sexy lips shined brightly as if they were made out of ruby. Her eyes were golden, glowing the brightest. And her hair was long and completely brown, silky, and beautiful.

Kireina and Gaia suddenly felt the 'Soul Connection' that was established between the two already, by the moment that Gaia used a part of Kireina's Soul to complete her transformation.

"It is done…" said Gaia, giving Kireina a gentle and enamored smile.

"I'm glad that everything went well," said Kireina with a gentle smile as well.

"Is that… really?" asked Merveim.

"It is! There is no doubt! That Aura, that presence! Although Geie felt like a bit of it, this now… it is truly the authentic one!" said Hodhyl.

"Gaia…! Gaia-sama!" said Bovdohr.

"It is her! It is really her!" said Nomera.

"Everyone… thank you for having taken care of me for those days… Without your help, I don't know how much time it would have taken me to recover properly… And Kireina-sama, thank you as well for having done so much for me… I cannot simply express how much gratitude I have for you… This… I feel indebted to you… I shall serve you as much as I can from now on…" said Gaia, as she kneeled in front of Kireina's sight!

Even after having seen Agatheina kneel so much to Kireina, seeing Gaia herself do it was a completely different sight for the Gods! Especially the Beast Gods, whose Life Attribute Divinities seemed to feel a strong familiarity with Gaia, as she was, after all, the eldest daughter of the Supreme Goddess of Life and Origin, a God that every Life Attribute God revered.

"Gaia-sama…!"

"She's… kneeling!"

"To… Kireina-sama!"

"This is…"

"Please, stop kneeling, Gaia, stand up for me now…" said Kireina with a bitter smile, as she was a bit embarrassed over Gaia's unexpected devotion.

"Very well, Kireina-sama," said Gaia with a gentle smile.

"T-This…! I-I know that you're a Titaness and all… B-But don't dare come to steal my place, Gaia! I am the most devoted to Kireina-sama in this entire pantheon!" said Agatheina, clashing against Gaia's might as both the Vampire Goddess and the Reincarnated Titaness Great Goddess' Auras began to fight against each other.

"I appreciate your efforts, Agatheina. I really do… but it is obvious that I am more indebted to Kireina-sama than you are. Hence, my devotion is greater," said Gaia with a competitive tone.

"Oh?! T-That's… Not true…! I am just as devoted to Kireina-sama, you know? I-I…" muttered Agatheina. Although she tried to look for reasons, she could not feel many things similar to the 'indebted' emotion that Gaia had towards Kireina. After all, Agatheina grew fascinated with Kireina due to other, different circumstances, such as being face slapped by Kireina and then surrendering to her to save her life and that of her family.

However, compared to her, Gaia's devotion was very pure!

She was defeated!

"See? It is clear…" said Gaia, as she approached Kireina.

"No… It can't be…" muttered Agatheina as she kneeled in the ground in defeat.

"Err… what are you girls even discussing about…? No one here is competing for anything, please, Agatheina, get up," said Kireina, petting Agatheina's shoulders as she grabbed her hand like a prince grabbing the hand of a princess, her crimson eyes meet with Agatheina's crimson eyes.

"Ah… Kireina-sama… such benevolence…" said Agatheina.

"A-Anyways, time to sort things out and relax a bit, now that we are done with Gaia's thing, it would be nice to check her health and also how much she had changed… there is also a lot to talk about, regarding her past, current goals, and how can she help us out through our current lives and the events that are to come," said Kireina, as she enlightened the Gods.

"Indeed… there is a lot to talk about… It has been so long since my mind has felt this clear… Ah, and also, I am pregnant with one of your children, Kireina-sama," said Gaia.

As Gaia casually dropped such words, everyone present fell into silence…

"…Eh?" asked Kireina, genuinely confused.

"G-Gaia…! You…!" roared Agatheina, as her claws suddenly grew larger, and even bat wings emerged from her back, her bloodthirst grew by the second!

"Wait, Agatheina!" cried Morpheus.

"Grandmother!" cried Levana.

"Stop her from doing something foolish!" said Maeralya.

Suddenly, all of the gods jumped over Agatheina comically, stopping her rampage from unfolding.

"Aggghh…! Let me go…! I just… I just wanted to teach her a bit of a lesson…! Agh! S-Stop it! Levana doesn't be disrespectful with your grandmother!" said Agatheina.

"Agh… how can you be so freaking heavy…?! Ungh…!"

"Hehehe… I weight a few tons…" laughed Kaggoth, who was sitting over Agatheina, her weight alone, was stopping her completely. If it had been the other Gods, even Merveim and Hodhyl combined, Agatheina would have been able to throw them off her way… but Kaggoth was simply massive.

"Quite the colorful pantheon… I am already feeling welcomed by my new peers… Ah, a new life~ This does really feels as if I was starting over…" said Gaia with a gentle smile as she slowly caressed her belly, which was slightly bulgy.

"W-Wait a second, Gaia… What do you mean with one of my children?" asked Kireina.

"Oh! Right… Well, the little mountain, which you also named Gaia wanted to become someone new, and thanks to her help, I managed to reincarnate, so I decided to reincarnate her as well. I mean, why wouldn't I? It is the most beautiful thing to bear children. So I used part of your blood, flesh, bones, and soul, as materials to reincarnate her as a small child within my new womb… Haah, it really does feel fulfilling to bear children within my body… It has been really long," said Gaia with a gentle and motherly smile.

Such words could only be expected from a Titaness that was the mother of many, many children, even her Divinity was about Maternity and Fertility! Her descendants could be said to be a vast majority of the Gods, as many of her children married with old gods to bear the new generations.

"You… You did that with the Mountain Golem Gaia… right?" asked Kireina.

"Yes~! Aren't you happy, Kireina-sama? We will have our own children just as you revived me with my memories! As a Great Goddess of Maternity and Fertility, there is not anything more valuable to me than bearing children, and giving one to you is the greatest gift I could imagine!" said Gaia.

"You… You… You…!!!" roared Agatheina, Kaggoth was a bit surprised, but her weight was still enough to suppress her a bit.

"This is… Sigh. Well, what is done is done, right? I am rather excited to see it born, to be honest. Although I wonder what name we could give it?" wondered Kireina, she had quickly adapted to the situation!

To be expected of a mother such as her! Although she had no divinity related to maternity, she was truly a mother that would accept anyone below her motherly love.

Gaia was genuinely happy with Kireina's question, as she began to chat with her about possible names, as they could not simply name her Gaia again if the true Gaia were here.

"What about Terra?" asked Kireina.

"Terra… Terra… Sounds nice. Oh my… She will most likely be a girl, so it is very fitting~!" said Gaia, as the rest of the gods were enjoying a small tea party in Agatheina's garden with her and Kireina… And about Agatheina, she was sealed by Kireina until she was to calm down.

"Grrr…! Grrr…!"

Although it seemed that she would not calm down in a while.

"Grandma… do you want something to… eat?" asked Levana with a bitter smile.

"Grraaaahh! Free me, Levana!" roared Agatheina.

"Gyaa! Calm down!" said Levana.

"I am perfectly fine…! Grrr… I just want to… celebrate Gaia and Kireina-sama's child! T-That's all…!" roared Agatheina.

"I'm not believing you…" said Levana.

"Agh…! Levana!"
