[Day 425]

It has been around three days since the power of Demise had become mine and I've been mostly cultivating it, accumulating energies, buying anything within the Interdimensional Merchant Shop, and preparing- I mean, I've also been relaxing I guess, you could say that.

But even when I relax in the calmest ways possible, I am always doing something anyways, so it's pretty hard to actually think I am relaxing. I know I am, but I wish one day I will be able to finally not do anything for once… like, at all.

But for now, I am bound to this world through the power of tasks and concerns, and all of that. I want to save and help my family survive, and well, of course me too, so I have to grow as strong as possible and as fast as possible while doing so.

Nonetheless, today I had decided to take it easy, and we went to a special family picnic to the nearby verdant grasslands, a beautiful expanse of green grass similar to the Vast Plains.

The suns are shining brightly atop the sky, the sky was mostly clear blue, although there are some beautiful clouds covering the skies, and lastly, there is the beauty of the Path Jewel Galaxy that you can see from the distance even at day.

There was a massive Lake near us, and a lot of Divine Beasts wandering around, mostly beast-type ones eating the grass leisurely. They were just peacefully minding their own business and so we did.

We began making up a big barbeque, we put up some massive beasts to roast for everyone to enjoy in large rows. We were an incredibly massive family, so we had to make a lot of food for everyone, and that's without considering that everyone had an almost endless stomach, so I had a group of my true body clones constantly cooking everything we had prepared, a lot of delicious divine beasts' carcasses I had previously hunted personally for the occasion. They were all Supreme God-Realm, so their meat would be tastier than anything.

The meat was grilling, and the smell of grilled meat was expanding across the grass fields. I used my bodies to season all the meat using a series of spices and soy sauce too, there was also the rest of my wives making up the tables and setting up the other things such as side dishes.

Nesiphae, Brontes, Zehe, and other girls were all cooking a delicious soup, or well, many of them. These soups were all deliciously made out of the bones of these beasts alongside their meat and innards, they were boiling fervently alongside added vegetables and spices.

Fiery Sun Pigs, Freezing Tundra Heart Lions, Dark Void Monkeys, and more were within the preparations, after being butchered and peeled off their hide, their delicious and healthy-looking meat was cut into chunks and grilled or boiled into the soup.

Their delicious flavors leaking into the boiling water as I couldn't wait to try out that delicious-smelling soup already.

And to my left side there was Nefertiti, Nixephine, Gaby, and other girls frying all sorts of divine beasts caught in their own divine realms. Golden Scorpion Emperors, Tyrannic Shrimp Oceanic Lords, Rainbow Crystal Hippocampus, amongst other beast who were butchered and cut apart to be covered in panko and other spices, and then deep friend into a delicious perfection.

I wanted to eat already!

"Mama! How's the grilling going?" asked Valentia, she was drooling over the massive beast's meat being grilled. She really wanted a bite already.

"In a bit it should be all over. Why don't you go enjoy the lake with your siblings for now?" I asked her.

"Fineee…" sighed Valentia, as she jumped over the lake from where she currently was, surpassing over several kilometers through the skies and landing in the middle of the lake with a loud splash.

SPLAAAAAAAAAASSSH!

Large waves of water came out of the lake as many divine beast fishes jumped out. She opened her sharp fangs and began to catch them with her strong jaws in midair as they all fell. Her siblings began to compete for who could catch more fishes as they fell in between splits of a second. They were moving to incredible speeds in less than a second and doing a competition in just 1. To think that they would be so freaking fast to do such a thing only fills me with pridefulness as a mother that my children are just incredible.

They caught fishes and began to eat them as snacks, although these fishes were massive creatures and were not at all just little fishes to eat on the go, but nonetheless, they were enjoying themselves out as they devoured everything thoroughly.

"Dear, the tables are set!" said Nesiphae.

"I am hungry…" sighed Scarlet.

"Scarlet you just ate a big fish, I just saw you." I said.

"I'm hungy!" said Scarlet while pouting.

"Okay… The meat is done now so let's bring it to the tables to cut them up."

Everyone began to quickly mobilize around, setting up plates, wine, and everything right below the beautiful atmosphere of spring and summer, or well, a combination of both.

The delicious food, the tasty scent of grilled meat well-seasoned, the scent of wine, the salad, and the calming breeze. Oh man, this is really how life should be.

We all sat down and began to dig in while talking all sorts of things, mostly the topic today was my Demise Dao, all of them were talking about it because they had all just gotten a Fragment and they were mastering the usage of Essence of Demise to fuel their Divine Techniques and other abilities.

"With this new essence I've discovered I can conjure even stronger Shadow and Dark Spells through my Path Jewels… It is very potent." Said Zehe.

"I wonder if we can use the essence to summon food, what kind of flavor would demise-type food have?" wondered Scarlet.

"Scarlet, is food all you think about?" asked Nesiphae

"Yeah! …Don't you?" wondered Scarlet, as everyone giggled at her innocent response.

We enjoyed the day thoroughly, and it was honestly a good break from everything else.
