Now that the lovely Agatheina explained things well, it was finally time to just go and do it.

The first one on the list was the lovely Rimuru-chan, as she hovered towards my side.

Oh, by the way, we are hovering above a desolate area of my Divine Realm, a place that is simply a ton of grassy plains where only very small animals live around, so I don't care if things get destroyed around here.

Rimuru-chan was missing around twenty levels before reaching max level, and the EXP needed was quite a few billion…

1 single Primordial Essence point is 10.000 Experience Point.

I have 200.000.000.000 Primordial Essence as of now, and… let's see how much it will cost.

I put my hand over Rimuru's lovely head as she smiles gently at me.

"Are you ready?" I asked her.

"Yes, guu! I have… always been! I will stay at your side, Masta! Since the day you summoned me that I have been ready for anything!" said Rimuru, making me smile.

She's… so precious.

"Very well then, brace yourself!" I said as she nodded.

"Alright guu!" she roared as I activated the Skill and began to constantly pour EXP into her soul!

FLASH!

Like a stream of iridescent green liquid, it bathed Rimuru's soul with new power.

I saw through Appraisal as her EXP Bar was being constantly filled, over and over again, as her level started to increase more and more!

Until finally…

It was done!

She reached max level!

[You have spent 546.720 Primordial Essence!]

"I am max level now!" said Rimuru, as she quickly selected the system options and her ritual finally began!

The world began to shake the moment after!

A spatial shift emerged as an enormous entity emerged out of thin air!

Everyone around us glanced at the creature emerge from the sides, an enormous… mass of slime?

I analyzed the creature, it was something like Guubo…

But as a Divine Trial.

It was named "Primordial Water Plasma", and it came floating towards Rimuru!

"Masta, I will take it out, let me do it by myself guu!" said Rimuru, as she threw me a few meters away, jumping towards the beast by herself!

FLASH!

I glanced at Rimuru as she immediately unleashed her rainbow spiritual aura, shaping it as a giant mass of slime and attacking the Divine Trial with it!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Her Aura Slime Tentacles clashed against the Divine Trial's oozy and slimy body, as I saw how she activated God Devour and began to just eat it with every punch!

Go get it!

The Divine Trial began to groan, as it began to expand around Rimuru's attacks, trying to overwhelm her and probably eat her!

FLASH!

Rimuru began to be entangled by the slime, as she converted completely into slime as well, expanding and expanding!

The battle became quickly pretty chaotic, two slimes fighting by entangling each other with their slimy bodies… it was indeed something else.

You do not know who's winning, but I was seeing how Rimuru was eating it away while her Divine Trial was trying to eat her too!

But Rimuru had greater regenerating, and slowly shifted the battle to the ground!

BOOM!

SPLASH!

Like a giant ball of slime, both fell over the ground generating a giant explosion, the combustion force made both evaporate a bit, but Rimuru quickly separated from the beast, as she took her humanoid form again and quickly summoned her blades, the Rainbow Sword she always used, Valhalla!

She had actually eaten it before, but now she got the skill to summon it anytime, like any of the weapons I have eaten!

By summoning it, she began to charge a lot of rainbow power within, combining the spiritual energies with the multiple elements she wielded!

Red, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, orange, and many other colors of light began to gather like a constant rainbow, her eyes shining brightly with a confident smile!

Rimuru-chan is so cool!

"BIFROST BLADE!" she roared, as she unleashed one of her strongest techniques combining several spells and skills, unleashing a literal cannon of enormous concentrated spiritual and elemental powers fused with her aura through a slash of her blade!

FLASH!

The cannon of colors crossed the wind itself, as it even generated cracks in space itself, hitting the weakened Divine Trial!

BOOOOOM!!!

An explosion of countless colors unfolded, as thunder, flames, wind, water, light, darkness, and more combined into a chaotic sphere, which began to suck everything like an actual black hole!

Nani?!

Did she have such amazing power?

She upgraded it without me even realizing it!

The combination of all elements naturally creates Chaos! So she used it to break space itself with an enormous pressuring force!

Wow…

Rimuru is really quite amazing.

The Divine Trial was completely consumed by the attack, not even a drop of it was left…

"Done! Oh?"

Rimuru smiled brightly at me as she felt changes in her soul, which opened and began o absorb Divine Energy, the ritual continued more, as she was covered into a cocoon of divine energy, and her slow evolution finally started.

"Now leave her be, Kireina-sama, she will know how to handle the rest," said Agatheina, as I decided to move on to Zehe.

"I have to admit it, I am not as brave as Rimuru… I am quite nervous," sighed Zehe.

"Calm down, I know you can do it… Come here," I said, as I moved her chin upwards and gave her a passionate and deep kiss.

"Hahh… T-That… might have given me some braveness," said Zehe while blushing.

"Very well then~," I said, as I touched her head and quickly gave her enough EXP until she reached max level too!

Ding!

[You exchanged 395.000 Primordial Essence!]

"Ah! It's here!" said Zehe, quickly accepting the System notifications as she sensed her Divine Trial coming!

"Alright, you'll do it by yourself now, Zehe! Show me how much you have grown since those times when you were a Troll Witch!" I said, as Zehe suddenly seemed surprised… I guess she had forgotten her origins a bit.

"You are right! I have come so far… How could I be so stupid to forget those times? My days… my childhood! Everything I learned… everything I have gone through! I will do it and show you, Honey!" said Zehe, filled with determination as she showed the brightest smile as her eyes were blazing with resolve!

CRASH!

Space cracked once more, as an enormous Divine Trial emerged!

It resembled a giant, one-hundred-meter-tall shadow, its forms were constantly changing, and it resembled several beasts twisting together and mutating!

This Divine Trial was named "One-Thousand Beasts Shadows"!

"Grooooarr!"

The giant Divine Trial began to immediately target Zehe, showering her with giant shadow projectiles!

"Heh, attacking me with the element I am most proficient with? Foolish child," said Zehe confidently, summoning her staff as she moved it around masterfully, her Magic Shadow Aura was unleashed monstrously, as she summoned countless shadow tentacles and large crimson eyes, firing rays of darkness everywhere!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The shadow projectiles exploded each time they were blown by the shadow tentacles and the rays of darkness, exploding into nothingness!

No, they were being eaten!

"Shadow Absorption, Aura, Black Hole Rain, Pure Darkness," said Zehe, waving her staff a few times as more spells were conjured instantaneously!

Each spell began to fuse together, combining into a constant catastrophe of chained shadow and darkness attacks!

Small black holes started to emerge everywhere, sucking the shadows into their emptiness, and slowly making it disappear!

The Divine Trial, in its rage, tried to slash through Zehe, but it was suddenly stopped by her shadow barriers, which also began to absorb the shadows!

Damn, she was more than ready, she is decimating this guy!

She just needed some confidence!

"Now, for your final seconds, how about you admire my greatest spell? Empty Void, Ginnungagap!"

Boom.

Suddenly, the entire world changes.

Everything turns into complete blackness.

Empty and devoid of anything.

The most primal of obscurity.

An empty, abyssal, and gaping void.

Endless.

And terrifying.

The empty void consumes it all with its never-ending darkness, the shadows are consumed and suddenly… turned into nothingness.

Flash!

Everything suddenly goes back to normal, leaving Zehe floating atop the skies with a prideful smile, her Attribute Particles were soaring, and her soul opened, absorbing Divine Energy right away!

What the hell?!

From where she got this spell?!

My Zehe is so talented!

"Now I shall go for a bit, wait for me, alright?" asked Zehe, as she was covered in a cocoon of Divine Energy.

"Wow… Zehe-chan is just as amazing…" said Nesiphae.

"Y-Yeah, I wouldn't really like to cross her in a fight, that spell was way too terrifying!" said Gaby.

"Amazing…" said Brontes.

"Alright, I believe Nesiphae-san is next! Do your best!" said Agatheina, as she supervised everything with me.

Nesiphae quickly flew towards me as she petted me, her beauty always left me a bit surprised, no matter how many times I put my eyes on her…

Now I wonder how beautiful she will turn after becoming a Goddess… Oh damn.

I suppose we will be having even more intense Dual Cultivation sessions.

Also, for some reason, she began calling me "little butterfly" again.

I think she remembers when we meet the first time, she used to call me like that.

"I am ready, my little butterfly," said Nesiphae rather happily.

"Why are you calling me little butterfly?" I asked her.

"Oh? Y-You don't like it? Sorry, I just… remembered the first time we meet, I used to call you like that, didn't I? Hehe…" said Nesiphae rather adorably.

"Not at all, I love it, my dear. It really brings me back to simpler times. And it makes me see how much we had gone through," I said.

"Indeed we had… a lot of things had gone by since I joined you… I was right by joining you though! Fufu, although I remember teasing you a lot, I think that was the first time you meet a cute girl, huh?" asked Nesiphae.

"N-Not at all… D-Don't get wrong ideas!" I said, remembering my past self and the same emotions resurging inside of my heart.

"Anyways, let us do it, alright? I want to become a Goddess! I will make sure to assist you whenever that Zeus comes! We shall have a feast!" said Nesiphae.

"Alright then, give me your hand," I said.

Nesiphae's size was now back to her original size, although she could shapeshift into something similar to me, she was on her full splendor as a giant lamia girl.

Her size was already like 8 meters in her "normal form", she grew every time she evolved!

Thankfully, she can shapeshift into smaller sizes.

She extended her beautiful hand towards me, she had long, and sexy nails painted with purple paint, shining brightly.

I touched it as I began to pour EXP into it.

FLASH!

Her entire soul was shrouded by it, as she leveled up to max in a flash! Maybe she didn't need as much EXP as the other girls…

Ding!

[You exchanged 260.000 Primordial Essence!]

Nesiphae nodded as she did the system notifications and brought the Divine Trial to her at once!

CRASH!

Space itself distorted and opened like cracking glass, revealing a creature from within, the Divine Trial!

It resembled an enormous snake of over 50 meters, completely made of oozy purple slime, which was an incredibly hot poison, boiling almost like lava!

The snake suddenly began to separate its heads, as over fifty emerged!

This Divine Trial was named "Fifty-Headed Poisonous Hydra", and despite its name, it was not a beast but a divine trial, an entity made entirely out of an attribute, poison attribute, Nesiphae's strongest attribute!

BOOM!

The Divine Trial quickly leaped towards Nesiphae, as she smiled devilishly!

"Hehe, nice! Maybe this can take more than one hit like the Gods?!" she wondered, as she quickly summoned an enormous full armor set that made her resemble a death knight of the depths of hell, with pointy spikes and a deadly poisonous aura that began to consume anything around her!
