"Master!", Giva knelt before Aureus, her former pride nowhere to be seen, now he was speaking with utter respect, as if addressing her natural lord.
Aureus rubbed the girl's head, while she let out a moan of satisfaction, like a dog being caressed by her master.
Aureus stopped rubbing Giva's head, walked behind the rustic stone throne, to the deepest part of the cave, where he found what was looking for.
Floating in the air, a whirlpool of white energy spun at a low speed, constantly releasing energy, although the energy it releases is negligible, it can make a difference over time.
"A source of energy," Aureus muttered, slowly approaching the white whirlpool.
[This font is quite small, but we can improve a bit with the resources we have, but don't expect it to become like the one at home]
The golden continent also has an energy source, located on top of the sacred mountain, but that energy source is hundreds of times larger and denser than the one that was here.
"It's a shame, this fountain is too small, how long would it take to become mature?"
[A few thousand years, even with your intervention, about 500 years]
"Can't we go directly to the human continent to retrieve my shards?"
[The gods are beyond level 24, if you try to take it by force, you will die, our plan is already the safest thing we can do, I know you don't like it, but act mature for once and don't complain]
Aureus sighed in resignation, activated his space ring and removed a bunch of ultra-high-grade energy crystals from him and threw them directly into the growing energy source.
"BOOM!"
The energy source suddenly expanded, becoming 5 times larger, the swirl of light became denser and more compact, and the energy it released increased both in quantity and density.
In the short term, you wouldn't notice the difference, but as time goes by, the humans of the three kingdoms will notice that the monsters of the dark forest grew in number and strength, and that the energy of the forest became more intense.
Previously Aureus liked humans a bit, he felt that the human race was interesting, but now that he knows that human gods are the main instigators of the fragmentation of his soul, that little preference completely disappeared.
Aureus returned to the center of the underground expanse, observed that the goblins were writhing on the ground, apparently undergoing the same transformation as his queen.
Said queen was still kneeling while an elf girl with a pair of golden wings stroked her head with a kind smile.
Aureus sat directly on the stone throne and waved his hand, "Giva, Yina, both of you come here."
The elf and goblin practically ran in her direction, the difference was that Yina sat on her lap and snuggled into her chest, while Giva knelt in front of the throne that previously belonged to her.
Aureus stroked the elf girl's head happily as he explained to the goblin girl, "Giva, I'm going to give you some instructions, follow us to the letter, is that clear?"
Giva nodded with an excited expression, happy to follow her master's orders, happily shaking her round ass at the thought.
It is worth mentioning the energies surrounding the transformation are very violent, which is why Giva is completely naked at the moment.
A week later...
A small city had been built around the mountain, various races of monsters were walking through the city, doing things that you would never expect from a monster.
Aureus decided that since he had modified the goblins, it would not hurt to modify the other monster races.
Some races only needed minor changes, such as the Harpies, their claws and wings became retractable, if they not deploy , they would not be distinguished from a human.
Werewolves went crazy in their beast form, so he eliminated that weakness.
There were also some challenges, it took him three full days to increase the intelligence of the ogres so that they are on the same level as a human.
Ogres are 4-meter creatures with overwhelming strength, but they are as dumb as a rat, so they are usually hunted with ease.
Now that they are as smart as humans ... hehehe.
Lamias and Arachnes are breeds purely made up of women, so they often have to start wars with other races to get males, Aureus modified their reproductive organs so that their offspring can also be male, solving that problem.
He was basically eliminating the monsters' weaknesses and forcing them to cooperate.
If humans knew about this, he wonder what they would think.
Most likely, they are migrating en masse to other small continents.
On the outskirts of the dark continent, a white-haired young man, a blonde teenage girl, and a blonde girl came out of the forest.
Aureus looked into the depths of the forest with a smile, turned his head and walked out of the forest, followed closely by the two beautiful young women, they headed to the nearest city, where they will report that an evil baron has allied with the monsters and attracted an innocent group of adventurers to offer as an offering to those disgusting creatures, they bravely fought and escaped, only to report the news for the safety and well-being of the people.
