Chapter 452: Talking Things Out

-----

In the former Life Attribute Dungeon or Morpheus, which was now annexed to Kireina's main dungeon, a gathering of god's astral projections, Kireina's first body, her children, and Cathin and his party was being unfolded.

​​

Cathin, the young 'bastard' prince of Moonfang, born from the Lion King and one of his servants, and probably the last 'sane' individual in the Kingdom of Feline Demi-Humans who has not been brainwashed by Geggoron, was standing near Kireina. Cassamia, a Black Cat and his loyal maid and personal guard, alongside Kamuris, a poor but good-hearted White Tiger Guard were at each of his sides.

For mortals such as Cathin and his servants, the opportunity to see a god would be once in a lifetime.

Although the existence of gods was a factual truth in the world of Genesis and the Realm of Vida, their interaction with mortals was often limited, and usually never showed themselves, neither their true appearance to mortals.

They would often send a divine message through the dreams of their most trusted apostles. But even royalty such as Cathin would often never meet or talk with a god, even if he were to be blessed by Mohini.

Mortals would often live their entire lifespans without meeting divine existences, and die like this. The occasion of meeting such strong, and wise beings, often believed to know everything and see everything was baffling to them. An event that was believed to be often impossible, even more, if those mortals were untalented people, without being blessed legendary heroes who would mark history in the Realm.

Cathin considered himself truly lucky. Indeed, the moment he met Kireina, it was probably the most fortune he would ever have in his entire life.

Flash!

Several figures appeared astral projections of gods, of various shapes and sizes. Cathin not only was going to meet Maeralya and Mohini but over eight more gods, who had come to teach Kireina's children.

Before Cathin's eyes, the founder of his race, Maeralya, and the daughter of her daughter, alongside the one who blessed him appeared.

Both women resembled each other quite a bit, but Maeralya, had a greater complexion, alongside well-toned muscles, and a generous pair of breasts. Her hips were wide and round, and her beauty rough but barely unparalleled.

She had long hair, of various colors, from chestnut, blonde and bright brown. Her eyes were gold and emerald, Cathin was having a hard time identifying her true colors or appearance. She had several tails dangling around on her back, each one with different fur colors and features.

"Are you Cathin? My child, it is nice to meet you" said Maeralya, Cathin admired her herculean and admirable body… she wasn't at all like she was depicted in some statues, as a delicate maiden. It only took a glance from his eyes to immediately discern that she was an avid warrior and not really a feminine maiden.

"I-I…" 

However, from her side, almost as beautiful as her mother, Mohini, appeared. She was more delicate-looking, with a slim and soft body. Chocolate skin covered her entire body, alongside white tattoos. Blonde hair and gold eyes, her aura releasing warmness and embracing the young boy.

"Cathin-kun? Uwaaah! I can finally meet you, my beautiful and blessed child!" shouted Mohini, with a tone and attitude unbefitting of a god, she rushed towards Cathin and hugged him tightly.

Cassamia and Kamuris glanced with bewildered expressions, they had never thought of gods being as emotional.

"Uagh! M-Mohini-sama? Ugh…! You're just a projection, but you're very strong, please be gentler…!" shouted Cathin, as he was embraced by Mohini's arms and chest.

Mohini glanced at the adorable little lion boy, who she had deeply desired to protect, she couldn't stop hugging him.

"I can't! I am so sorry! I was so weak and useless! I am a useless goddess! Uwaaaahh!" cried Mohini, tears began to flow from her golden eyes.

Cathin was taken aback by Mohini's behavior, but he could only comfort her, by patting her back and caressing her head.

"A-Ah, Mohini-sama, please be at ease… You did your best, that's what matters!" said Cathin.

"R-Really? Sniff…" muttered Mohini.

"Y-Yes, please, don't worry. I heard from Kireina-sama that you fought against the fiend and almost died… It must have been hard… but it was also admirable that you would go to such lengths to help your children…" said Cathin, trying to find the bright side of things.

"Sniff… sniff… okay, if Cathin-kun says so…" muttered Mohini.

'Ah, this girl is quite easy to convince…' thought Kireina. 

"Mohini, stop with your cries, it won't help anyone, and you won't reach anywhere with them… and leave Cathin alone, you're asphyxiating him," said Maeralya, grabbing Mohini's shoulder and moving her away with immense strength.

"Guuaah! But mother, I want to be with my blessed child some more!" said Mohini.

"You're still so immature. You haven't learned anything yet, have you?" asked Maeralya, reprimanding her daughter.

"I-I… I am sorry, mother… I am sorry Cathin-kun for my previous behavior… I have been gone through a lot…" apologized Mohini.

Cathin seemed to have been captivated by Mohini's innocence and sincere feelings and gave her a gentle smile. No matter what race he was, he was still a charming prince.

"It is fine, Mohini-sama. Please, be at ease. Let us think in ways to resolve the issues we have come to peacefully" he said.

"Cathin-sama, you're so thoughtful!" said Cassamia.

"Indeed, he's good handling with women," said Kamuris.

"Cathin-kun, thanks… Let us try together" said Mohini.

"It is also nice to meet your allies. Cassamia and Kamuris, is it?" asked Maeralya, glancing at the two with a mild smile.

"Y-Yes… It is nice to meet our founding mother… Maeralya-sama, you know our names?" asked Cassamia.

"I can't believe it… our founding mother…" said Kamuris, kneeling and beginning to pray.

"Indeed, and Kamuris, my child, don't kneel. Raise and glance at my eyes. I am your mother before a goddess" said Maeralya.

"Y-Yes, Maeralya-sama!" said Kamuris, standing once again a bit embarrassed.

"Mohini, where are your manners? They're also your children" said Maeralya.

"Ah! Yes, I am deeply sorry for ignoring you, Cassamia and Kamuris! You have to keep Cathin safe for so long! I can't thank you enough!" said Mohini, kneeling.

Kamuris and Cassamia panicked when she did so.

"Ah! Mohini-sama, please stop!" shouted Cassamia.

"Goddess-sama, please don't kneel for us! I am but a mere and poor guard! There is no need!" shouted Kamuris, captivated by the innocence of Mohini.

"No…! I can't stop, I must thank you!" shouted Mohini.

Maeralya at her bock nodded while crossing her arms.

"Maeralya-sama, please make her stop…!" shouted Cathin.

"Cathin, my child. What she is doing is a way to pay for her foolishness and irresponsibility. Take it as a way to educate her. This is what I do with my reckless children" said Maeralya.

After a few minutes of apologies from Mohini, a normal conversation was finally started by Kireina.

"Ahem… Well, Mohini. Have you recovered from your injury in your soul?" she asked.

"Ah! Kireina-sama, I also had to apologize to you, and thank you as well for saving me!" shouted Mohini, about to kneel.

"No need, stand right there, you have lowered yourself enough," said Kireina, patting Mohini's shoulders.

"Kireina-sama… you're so benevolent… thanks…" muttered Mohini, almost in tears.

"Indeed, Kireina. Mohini has recovered a bit now, the treatment made by our sister was enough to heal back her soul a little bit. Afterward, all of us donated a piece of our divinities to recover her. As you can see, she's back to her usual demeanor" said Morpheus.

"Morpheus-kun! D-Don't say that…" muttered Mohini, approaching the centaur demigod.

"I can guess that you two resolved things in your Divine Realms, right?" asked Kireina.

Mohini and Morpheus glanced at each other as they flushed a bit.

"W-Well, yes, a bit…" muttered Mohini.

"We haven't seen each other for a few years… it was hard at first. I don't know why I became so distant of her… but things are resolving quite fine" said Morpheus.

"Good. Well, I do not have any say about the situation of your children, the Sphinxes (now Bastet). Though I should take some responsibility as well because they evolved due to my blessings. I should accompany you three to talk with them later" said Kireina. Her demeanor is calm and composed as ever. She was always a direct woman, and her personality was incredibly simple when people got to know her more. The gods were already accustomed to her and saw her as a pilar between their relationships.

"Indeed, Kireina, thanks. We would appreciate your help" said Morpheus.

"That's right, thanks a lot, Kireina-sama… Hm?" said Mohini.

"What is it?" asked Kireina.

Mohini approached Kireina as she began to sniff her around. Nephiana, one of Kireina's wives who was with the seven harpy chicks noticed the goddess and became overprotective of her wife.

"Hey, don't get so close to my wife!" she shouted.

"Ah! S-Sorry, Nephiana-chan… 

It's just… there is a feeling of familiarity with Kireina… her aura is a bit similar to mine" said Mohini.

"Oh, it must be because I ate the Geggoron split soul that ate a piece of your divinity. Sorry but I couldn't discern it from Geggoron's and ended up eating it" said Kireina, releasing a small chuckle.

"Ah! I see… well, it is fine, please, consider it a little present then" said Mohini.

"Of course. I even got a special type of magic… I think it must be the same as the boy" I said.

"Ah! Kireina-sama, you also have it?" asked Cathin.

"Indeed… though it is underdeveloped," said Kireina.

"If Kireina-sama has it… she is like one of my blessed children then?! Ahh!" said Mohini, hugging Kireina.

"No… I don't think it should be like that…" muttered Kireina, as Mohini's chocolate breasts bounced over her face. She could not deny that she was enjoying it a bit.

"Ah! Stop it, chupiii!" shouted Nephiana, as her seven children glanced at the scene.

Cathin and his party were already lost in between so many interactions and words. The three could not believe how close was Kireina from all of the gods present, and how most of them admired her as a leader.

"Alright, now that we are done with introductions, apologies, and all of that, I would like to go to the meat and potatoes of our meeting." Said Kireina.

"Meat… and potatoes? Are we having dinner?" asked Nephiana.

"Ah, no, Nephiana-chan. Not that" said Kireina, with a gentle smile while patting her wife.

Kireina informed the gods present about the current state of things in the Moonfang Kingdom and the Sunclaw Kingdom, alongside Cathin, who also added a few more information and things that Kireina did not know.

"I can't believe how that bastard has seeped his claws so deep in out Kingdoms… That fiend! That demon!" shouted Maeralya, baring her fangs as claws grew in size.

"Even the citizens… and the whole royal family was brainwashed? And the citizens… they're already worshipping and offering sacrifices to Geggoron so fast!" shouted Marnet.

"This is why we weren't able to see everything in detail, the faith of our people was decreasing… now they worship that living pile of gases," said Maeralya.

"They were not only brainwashed but further inspection of the ones I gave me more insight about the situation… Geggoron seems to be capable of dividing his body into several split souls and possess many mortals as vessels at the same time…" said Kireina.

"That is right, it is just as Kireina-sama says. Geggoron is capable of merging his consciousness with his vessels and make them completely loyal to him. He's not only using force but brainwashing them and parasitizing their souls into pretty much becoming one with him…" muttered Cathin.

"This also means that both royal families of both Kingdoms are all Geggoron's split souls, and had become fearful and powerful monsters… even more, he's capable of turning normal and untalented citizens who are often weak into Monstrosities and Nightmare Hunters. Deformed and mutant creatures that obey him and his pawns unconditionally. He uses them as his main army when fighting mortals, while using the royal family members of the heroes as the ones leading them…" muttered Kireina.

"I think Habitis nee-sama could say some things as well…" said Cathin, as he caressed the pendant where Habitis soul was. The ethereal appearance of her soul suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

"Yes… I was one of Geggoron's victims… He had set up a cult in the Moonfang Kingdom, which constantly offers him sacrifices. He is also directly contributing to his pawns by often giving away special artifacts and items… He had brainwashed the three heroes of Moonfang, with two who had died, and the only one left, our older brother, who had become a tyrannical monster that only seeks blood and death" said Habitis.

"Even older brother…? No…" muttered Cathin.

"So all my heroes… brainwashed…" muttered Maeralya.

"Don't worry, I will take care of things from now on, so leave it all to me and my family, you sit here and relax, talk about your plans and what you're planning on doing from now on" said Kireina.

"But Kireina…" said Maeralya.

"Yeah… We know that we paid you to help us out… but we feel a bit irresponsible for not being able to help at all…" said Marnet.

"Well, if you want me to be honest with you, even if you were to bless Cathin and his party, and make them Heroes. They would only get in my way. They would need to nourish their strength and all… it would take too much time" said Kireina.

Cathin seemed annoyed by Kireina's words, but found that there was not any lie in them, she was right. He would only be a nuisance, a little kid to constantly take care of.

"For now, I would feel grateful if you could receive the citizens that I will rescue and send to my Empire through my Inner Realm. It would help a lot, so they don't panic so much…" said Kireina.

"I suppose… we can do that," said Cathin.

"Cathin-sama, this is for the best. Let us leave Kireina-sama with the work there. You're young and naïve, you need to train yourself to become strong enough to clash against a Demon God" said Cassamia.

"I suppose so…" muttered Cathin.

"Yeah, young prince, let us stay in here. It's peaceful, and there's even a dungeon here so we can train and get strong" said Kamuris.

"Perhaps you're right," said Cathin.

Maeralya, Marnet, and Mohini also seemed to agree.

"Well, Kireina did a splendid job with Morpheus, so we should be more at ease," said Maeralya.

"Indeed, let us be patient… for now, let's concentrate on the citizens that had already reached this Empire…" said Marnet.

Later on, that night, Mohini, Morpheus, and Kireina had a small meeting with most of the Bastet population. Mohini's fear over her children not accepting her apology was ridiculous, every single one of them loved her unconditionally.

Thins ended better than she had expected, and Morpheus then decided to do the same meeting of 'apology' to the Dragon Centaur and the Kelpie due to his irresponsibility, and it ended in the same results.

'These gods seem to be too insecure of themselves, it is obvious that their children would never harbor resentment against them,' thought Kireina.
