In the past Benladann might had felt confused about many things, about her past and about who she truly was… She was even more confused when this entity named "Chaos" came to her life out of nowhere telling her she was this and this… only confusing her even more. And the worst part was that she never showed up again. This entity was from the outside universe and Benladann seemed to be in a part of the universe that was too far away from the reach of this being. However, although she never truly revealed this to Drake, when she learned she was part of "someone named Kireina", it really freaked her out, she even began to have internal identity crisis, thinking if she was really she or… just somebody else.

However, after meditating about everything in life for a long while all while living with Drake, having a precious daughter, and undergoing many challenges together… She quickly realized she was she, and nobody else named "Kireina" or whatever. She didn't cared about her, nor even considered that woman her sister or something. Benladann wanted to be on her own with her own life, her own world and her own family, husband, and daughter. She quickly decided to accept her powers as her own but also to accept herself as her own, without caring about anybody else than those she had with her, right now, right here. The power she had… the more she used them, the more she discovered how powerful they actually were and the more she realized she could help Drake protect their family and also all those allies and friends who have become part of her daily life by now.

So… therefore, Benladann was more than willing to absorb the power of all the Chaos Spirits in existence and even… consume an entire dimension made out of Chaos if it comes down to it. Both her and Drake could easily tell she had the potential for it and even greater things, so there was no point in not doing it. She had decided it quite easily and accepted it on the go, surprising Drake a bit internally. He couldn't help but grow to love her even more as he realized she had grown so much and was willing to do so many things for him and the family.

"Y-You two are insane! S-Stop looking at me with that face!!!" The Chaos Spirit screamed at the end, although the two continued to look at him with cocky smirks, which was eating away his pride.

…

After everything was spoken and decided, Drake and company went outside to enjoy the rest of the night with everybody else. There was a big feast with a lot of delicious food and booze. Drake got to see the newly married pair of Hector and Miminga, alongside Blue, his small blue slime clone which had been protecting the two ever since. He quickly decided to enhance Blue with a small part of his divine power, as Blue was rather weak for a clone. He also met the green slime clone, which he called Lime, that was left protecting Larzak, and also enhanced it a bit more.

"It is nice to finally see you in person, Sir Drake!" Said Hector. "Blue has spoken me a lot about you. I am happy that you've managed to wake up from your comatose."

"I am happy as well, Sir Drake." Said Miminga. "It was very impactful and saddening for the tribe that our Scaled God was sickly and in comatose…"

"Don't worry you guys, I am stronger than ever before!" Said Drake, as he approached his face to the two and then whispered, "I am actually even stronger than before, I've become technically an actual God now…"

"Eeeh?!" The two, Hector and Miminga, reacted the same way.

"Hahaha! I actually wanted you guys to reunite here because I had something important to report to all of you…" Said Drake, Larzak and Kraxka alongside their wives quickly walked to his side, with Hector and Miminga as well, and the many lizardmen of various tribes enjoying in the surroundings. Drake's plan was rather simple and nothing overcomplicated. He simply wanted them to construct shrines for him!

"I've become an official God now. I am capable of controlling divine power and even bestow miracles… However, I require your faith and prayers to gain this source of energy… For that reason, I want you lizardmen to do something for me. Could you listen to my request?" Asked Drake humbly. The lizardmen all nodded, they were willing to do anything for him at this point.

"Yes boss!"

"We'll do anything for you, Drake-sama!!!"

"Yeah!"

"Okay then… I require you to build small shrines, anything will do. But I want some place where you'll go specifically to dedicate a prayer or two per day, a place where you'll place your faith, such small shrines will become Divine Points where I can slowly extract Divine Power accumulated there directed towards my figure. You catch my drift?" Asked Drake.

"So we must create shrines and pray every day to them? Easy!" Said Kraxka. "We'll begin making them tomorrow morning, as many as we can!"

"Yeah, we are not going to stop working! How many do you need?" Asked Larzak.

"Erm, only one per tribe is alright, you don't need to overdo it guys…" Said Drake.

"We'll make at least ten then!" Said Kraxka. "It's the least we could do for you, Drake-sama!!!"

"YEAH!!! HAHAHA!" Laughed Larzak. Drake quickly realized the two lizardman chiefs were drunk, hugging one another's shoulders and raising their beer mugs while laughing like drunk pals. The overly serious Larzak really changed his personality when drunk, and Kraxka also broke the ice easily… thanks to alcohol, the two chiefs who had many differences ended becoming rather good friends.

"W-Well, I appreciate it guys." Sighed Drake. "Also, if you ever move to other cities, maybe spread you got your own god and its me? So you can leave more shrines everywhere. So other people pray to them."

"Alright!"

"Sure, sure!"

It seems that negotiations went unexpectedly smoothly.
