Chapter 353: A Blessed New Race
Epic of Caterpillar
Chaos Humans are a new race formed when Humans who worshiped me received my blessings unknowingly by me. The blessings necessary for such changes are the [Blessing of the Sin of Lust] and the [Chimera Holy Mother Blessing]. Such blessings created the effects of transforming humans overnight, similar to evolution, it made them a new Chimera-type and Human-type being, obtaining random traits from the monsters and beings I've consumed and which lineages and bloodlines I've assimilated into my Bloodline.
I also suspect that my new Soul and the Chaos Attribute Mana that my body and soul are being constantly shrouded in may have something to say about the situation… Although no Chaos Human had shown any signs of developing Chaos-Attribute Magic. However, they develop other attributes, like the "main" ones that I possess, such as Illusion, Blood, and Dark Attribute Magic.
Beings gaining a new attribute talent out of nowhere is something highly unlikely, as one's soul is the responsible for such attributes, in monster cases, their souls are shrouded in such attributes of mana when they evolve, becoming a permanent part of their existence, and in humans, the one they were born with is the only one they remain with.
Due to the Hero Seeds, my wives were able to develop new attributes of magic, gain more power, stats, skills, and Classes. However, this was already within extraordinary, and I didn't expect all other Humans to change these through my Blessings, neither them gaining Attributes out of nowhere.
I had planned in mass distributing them in the future, giving them to each citizen… but this transformation into Chaos Humans may be a faster way to strengthen Humans so they can compare with the other demi-human, monster, and Undead races that live amongst them.
Although these changes seemed random, there was a certain pattern in the changes with each person, although they had the Chaos word in their new race name, they didn't resemble at all anything chaotic, but new and exotic demi-human races, so different between each other that it would be hard to say that they all belong to the same race… their appearances were beautiful in every case, men usually increased their manliness with larger muscles and handsome faces, while women became alluring and more charming.
Some males became something similar to Incubi and became more feminine and beautiful. And also, a woman who gained Troll, Ogre, or Oni traits, becoming muscular and more masculine.
And going back to my wives, Altani, Charlotte, Lilith, Acelina, and Ismena, they all went through diverse changes.
With the Rin Sisters, we decided to classify Chaos Humans in several categories corresponding to their new traits. There are Fairy-type Chaos Humans, Beast-type, Demon-type, Insectoid-type, Dragonoid-type, Undead-type, Oni/Ogre/Troll-type, and so on…
Altani, the one who became the flashiest of all the five Human girls became a Dragonoid-type Chaos Human, of the Wind Attribute. Her 'evolution' came with great changes to her wind-related skills and powers. Her scales resembled emerald jewels alongside her large coral-like horns, she had a long and thick tail as well, which she was getting used to. Her Blessings and Epic Skill remained even after the change, but it seemed that it had suddenly 'turned off', she said, as if the thing that she always felt that was monitoring her suddenly was blocked by another thing.
This may be something similar to what Agatheina said about converting her descendants into my Vampires, as she lost a connection to them through her bloodline, something similar could be happening to the gods that blessed her.
Altani had originally the powers to see through future events, but this would quickly drain her Soul Energy, so she couldn't do it so casually and it was often left away from her activities. Her Blessings are said to be sealed, and they belong to a God related to Fate and Stars, probably belonging to some kind of Pantheon where the Supreme Goddess of Fate resides…
She could use Starlight Magic, a 'stronger' version of Light Attribute Magic. And after receiving a Hero Seed, she gained the ability to use Emerald Winds Magic, a 'stronger' version of Wind Attribute Magic… after 'evolving' into a Chaos Human of the Dragonoid-type, her wind and light attribute powers merged into the Dazzling Emerald Stars Magic, an even higher type of magic, combining both Light and Wind Attribute.
Her physical strength also underwent notable changes, and so did her magic talent and affinity, she was now incredibly talented with both areas, like most Demi-Humans would be, even the burly and air-head Fire Oni were capable of using Fire Magic without any issue, unlike Humans who usually cannot use magic when they are too centered into physical technique and arts.
Unlike Humans, demi-humans can use their affinities without any issues, no matter in which way they grow their powers.
Charlotte became a Demon and Bat-type Chaos Human, although the only types showed are Chimera and Human in their stats. Her strength almost doubled, not being as delicate as she was before, alongside this, she gained stronger mental stamina and Dark Attribute related skills and magic.
Although she may have some new other abilities to train and evolve, she will still concentrate on the development of Magic Technology alongside Izumi, the former Heroine of Alchemy who was revived in a Manticore Chimera body.
Well, I will just force her to develop such new abilities and will make her obtain Superhuman Strength and probably train Dark Attribute magic with Zehe's assistance.
Lilith became an Oni-type and Dragonoid-type Chaos Human, her musculature increased although her size did not, her skin became slightly darker and her eyes brighter, the most notorious changes were her now incredible six-pack… oh, and her large metal horn in her forehead coupled with her thick and scaly tail, which was covered in rock-like scales. Her nails also became black-colored just like her horn, becoming longer and claw-like.
She already had Earth, Light Attribute Magic, which coupled formed the 'superior' magic, Gemstone Magic, which combined both Earth Attribute and Light Attribute, she did not gain any new attribute from her evolution, but obtained a superior physical strength that could one day compare to Brontes if she were to evolve in the future. Her Gemstone Magic evolved into the Jewel Empress Magic and granted her new spells, mostly offensive ones, with destructive abilities.
Acelina became a Demon and Oni-type Chaos Human, she was angry over her changes, as she liked her former dark blue hair, which became dark purple now, her eyes remained their golden colors, but the white part became dark and there was an eerie and overwhelming pressure surrounding her.
Her musculature became incredible and she gained a beautiful six-pack in her belly, alongside large and burly, yet-feminine and tight legs and arms. Her Superhuman Strength Skill became the superior Monstrous Strength Skill. She gained a scaled tail; however, it was smaller and more snake-like, something that some demons could develop.
Acelina possessed the Heavenly Gold Magic, a superior version of Holy Attribute Magic, and also the Emerald Wind Magic, the superior version of Wind Attribute Magic. She trained in both of them diligently after becoming my wife. And had managed to obtain the superior magic Heavenly Golden Wind Magic…
However, after evolving into a Chaos Human, this magic changed, as it didn't make sense with her new Demon powers, very rarely some demons possessed Light or Holy Attribute Magic. Her Heavenly Golden Wind Magic became the superior Infernal Abyss Winds Magic.
This was another big shock for her, as she was rather the holy woman before, praying to the Gods of Lights and Holy because of the magic they gave to her. She had begun to worship me more than those gods, so they probably don't even glance at her anymore.
I can't say that I don't like her changes… she still has her moody lady personality, but those muscles are really beautiful. Her magic training will be on Zehe's care.
And last but not least, Ismena had become a Fairy-type Chaos Human. And she had to get a whole new set of clothes for her new wings, she began to wear a similar dress than me, that could let our wings spread freely. Although I can retract them into my body when I sleep or move in tight places, she seems to not be able to do so.
Her blue hair became pinkish, while her skin became pale pink, like peaches. Her beauty became even more charming and she had long elf-like ears. She doesn't seem to mind her changes as much as Acelina and had figured how to fly with her large butterfly wings with ease. Her wings released pink and yellow sparkles every time she flapped them.
Ismena's Epic had been also 'turned off' from the god's eyes, she was blessed by the Goddess o Knowledge and Wisdom, I think, but the connection to her is all gone now, although she still enjoys from the bonuses in the blessings.
She can 'steal' the skills of monsters and convert them into spells inside of her Grimoire of Wisdom, and this power did not change when she became a Chaos Human, however, coupled with this she gained her own Illusion-Attribute Magic and Nature-Attribute Magic. She became somehow close with plants… I wonder if Lilith's village humans would evolve into something like Dryad-type Chaos Humans?
"Hey, Kireina… how do I look now?" Asked Ismena, she was rather insecure about her appearance now. Her body proportions haven't changed as drastically as the others, her chest size was the same, and her legs and hips didn't become plumper or wider.
"Hm…? Ismena, you look adorable" I said, as I flew at her side and embraced her, she then brushed over it.
"After transforming, I feel so strange, I feel like I like it, but it also feels strange to me… my mind is in complete chaos…" she said, she was already on her twenties, but she often acted cute like a little girl.
"Don't worry, I'm rather glad myself of having a new Fairy partner, only Vudia was very few… even if she is my loved little daughter… right, Vudia?"
Vudia, who was following me around while flying with her small yellow wings, nodded.
"That's right, Ismena-chan! Don't feel sad, you're very cute!"
As Vudia did her cuteness treatment with Ismena, I released a small tranquilizing fragrance.
"Hehe, thank you, Princess Vudia~"
"You are also a Princess, right? Now there are two Fairy Princesses!"
"That is right… fufufu, such a lovely girl you are~ I hope that one day, I will be able to bless you with a little sister"
"Oooh…! Really? I want a little sister!"
"Make sure to take good care of her whenever she is born, okay?"
"Yes! Did you listen to that, mommy?! A new sister!"
Vudia seemed extremely happy about having a young fairy sister to play with.
"I did, and I'm also expecting such things I'm pretty sure that Ismena-chan already has that little sister inside of her belly, its slowly growing~ Fufufu"
Ismena was rather flustered.
"Ueh…?! R-Really?"
"Well, yes, we created it some days ago when I wasn't pregnant yet… I think one or two months ago…"
"T-Then since that time… Oh god, I'm pregnant!"
Did she really… couldn't tell? Perhaps I'm the only one who can tell when someone is pregnant as I can glance at their womb with my Mystic Eyes directly…
Vudia didn't understand what we were talking about, and that's good… but she was very happy when she heard Ismena's words.
"Uwah! A new sister is coming, Ailine, Ailine!" She called her sister, as she flew towards Ailine, who was sitting over Rimuru's lap while eating her breakfast, consisting of fruits, jelly, and whipped cream.
"And what about me? Kireina, do I look better~? I hate that my blue hair disappeared… but this new strength and looks… I could get used them, with enough pampering from you, of course… Ohoho~" Said Acelina, as she approached me after finishing her breakfast.
"I will make sure to pamper you very well then, and yes, you look very devilish, in a good way"
"D-Devilish?! Perhaps… this is really what my true self wanted…? Ah! A revelation has come to me! I must be the most mischievous of devils~! Now, let us go, Kireina, I need a new set of clothes to suit my new looks. How could such a refined devilish lady like me wear these holy or light clothes now? It is only but unsightly to the eyes! Ohoho~!"
Acelina tightly grabbed my arm and carried me outside, as Ismena, Lilith, and Altani followed her… My wives only chuckled, leaving them to steal me for some time…
Today was a rather relaxing day, and I spent it mostly by assessing the new Chaos Human citizens and buying clothes for my Chaos Human wives… each one wanted to completely overhaul their fashion sense and try new things. Acelina in particular began to try more revealing clothes, some even made of a latex-like material, to suit her new 'devilish' side.
I decided that if there wasn't anything more to do tomorrow, I will bring my family to a short expedition to the Life Attribute Dungeon in the Cilane Kingdom, I will make sure to not take as long as I did in the Forsaken Labyrinth, by using my new Dungeon Skills, it shouldn't take more than one or two days.
Incidentally, I left the ten Chimeras led by Catterpillar, Mao, Wall, and the Vampires training in the Dungeon with the members of my family that so desired. Alice was equipped inside of me through this whole day, popping her head from my shoulders from time to time.

[Bestiary]
[Chaos Human]
A new race of 'Human' who are born when a group of Humans worship the Realm Menace of Lust, Kireina, and her family as divine existences and receive her blessings in the form of the [Blessing of the Sin of Lust] and [Chimera Holy Mother Blessing] Skills.
After filling these requirements, Humans will go through an 'evolution' overnight, changing their appearances and gaining traits from different races of demi-human and monsters that are inside the Realm Menace of Lust, Kireina's bloodline.
The individuals who successfully evolve into this new Race will feel an instinctive feeling of companionship and familiarity between same race citizens. They will develop a wide array of traits and appearance changes, from horns, skin color change, hair color change, wings, tails, different limbs, extra eyes and arms, and so on.
The variety of different appearances is baffling despite all of them being qualified as a single race, Chaos Human. Kireina is held responsible for this, and it is said by her church that it's the next stage of her blessings, becoming stronger beings that will surpass all humans.
Humans all over the city are currently joining Kireina's church, often known with various names, like the Goddess of Lust Church, or the Goddess of Harvest and Life Church, or the Goddess of Chaos and Order Church.
Due to these believers, Kireina had gained all sorts of aliases, the newest ones being 'Supreme Mother of Chaos Humans', however, she is mostly unaware of this, as she doesn't often interact with the churches, leaving them alone.
Chaos Humans can develop a wide array of skills, spells, and special abilities, and will often awaken superior skills that their former Human selves possessed, alongside Classes and other powers. All of them are often related to Kireina's Attribute Affinities.
