Taming my Monster Girl Harem from Scratch - Chapter 424 Time's Up!

Chapter 424 Time’s Up!

After confirming the last two functions and internalizing how amazing they were, I finally turned to Ember and stared.

“…”

Her appearance… barely changed. As usual, she was a pink-haired, bob-cut, busty girl, but the aura surrounding her changed greatly. From her usual kind aura, it turned into something in between “holy” and “holy f*ck!”

Although she was standing idly, looking at her hands in disbelief, the glint in her eyes was sending me weird, seductive signals. It was like Ember was part nun and part carnivorous office lady. The gap between her appearance and gestures was just too big.

“Master… did I…?”

Ember’s voice was the same as her appearance, containing a mix of innocence and flirtatiousness. What the hell is happening with her?

“Right, Ember, congratulations on successfully reaching God level!”

Anyway, right now, it should be correct to praise her achievement. Ember’s face turned blank before slowly curving her lips into a joyful smile as she jumped forward, embracing me tight.

“Yay! I did it, Master! I finally reached god-level!”

She shouted as she wrapped both her arms around my neck, her bountiful chest pressing tight against mine.

“…!”

Now, I understand. She didn’t change much in appearance, but she still got several upgrades. The softness, elasticity, and size… Everything was perfect.

While I was enjoying Ember’s “treat,” the other girls also congratulated her. Their faces were a mix of envy and happiness, probably from Ember reaching god-level before everyone else.

Igni, especially, felt complicated. After all, she reached the 9th stage first, but she didn’t reach God level sooner. From her perspective, it wouldn’t be wrong to say Ember was cheating, skipping an entire stage, and reaching the finish line in one go.

Still, despite being envious, Igni didn’t persecute Ember. Rather, the desire to reach God level next burned brightly inside her eyes.

“My Lord, I will now return to my task.”

After congratulating Ember, she quickly returned to her corner of the space and started to train her domain. However, up until now, she still couldn’t figure out what her domain was.

As if infected by Igni’s drive, the rest also returned to their tasks, focusing on absorbing the energy within the essence crystals in their hands.

Ember, having reached the “final destination” for all of us, decided to simply try and figure out what changed with her abilities.

Only Fatima remained by my side, a shadow of confusion and disbelief cast upon her face.

“What’s wrong?”

Noticing her expression, I decided to ask. However, Fatima seemed reluctant to speak.

“… Will you know what the basic requirement is for reaching the god level?”

“Uhm… no?”

I quickly shook my head, but Fatima seemed to have predicted that.

“It’s to have their own kingdom. Ember managed to jump straight to god-level without taking time to finish this step, which means…”

“… She already had a God Territory?”

Why didn’t I think of this before? Ember always goes somewhere to tinker with things, but I haven’t seen her “workshop” anywhere. There’s that one time when she was training under Goddess Zeta, but that’s not really a workshop.

“That means Ember already created her God Territory even though she hasn’t reached the 9th stage yet?!”

What astounding talent! I bet the reason she was able to activate her domain without much effort was due to this too! Her becoming the Goddess of Creation effortlessly finally made sense.

After that, everyone continued to do their individual training.

Igni managed to master her Domain within 10 days, while the other girls barely finished another level up within that time. Fatima was the fastest, already catching up with Fina and the others, reaching the 7th stage.

Today marks the 47th day inside this time-accelerated room. Since nobody was disturbing us, nor did Ember see movements from the Void Beast, that means we can still take our time.

That’s what I thought, anyway.

“Master! The satellite detected movements!”

Ember’s shout quickly brought me back from my easygoing attitude to a serious expression.

“Alright… everyone, that’s our cue!”

I quickly scanned everyone’s faces right after I said that.

Ember, now the Goddess of Creation, was now the de facto strongest within the group, overtaking even Igni.

Igni, who evolved to the 9th stage, managed to master her domain just in time.

Fang, who also reached the 9th stage along with Hekate and Minerva, underwent a similar “light makeover” to Ember. Although her appearance didn’t change, the aura around her did. She now felt like a sharp, drawn blade that could cut you with the slightest touch.

Hekate was the same as Igni. As soon as she reached the 9th stage, most of the bird-like features on her faded. The only thing left that could remind one of her avian ancestry is the pair of brown wings on her back. Other than that, she was no different than a normal girl.

Hekate was a bit different. Her reaching the 9th stage made her undergo an existential upgrade, changing her appearance greatly. Previously, she looked like a cool beauty with a slightly prickly attitude, but now she was the very definition of a “Queen.”N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter’s release on N0v3l-B1n.

Instead of her antennae, a small tiara replaced them, sitting atop her head. Weirdly, it wasn’t a part of her and could be removed from her head, but still, it was considered a “part” of her body.

Her wings vanished, along with the fur on her neck. Due to this, she needed to change her attire entirely since the previous one she wore was made to fit her neck fur. Now, she was wearing a black shoulderless top, matched with hot pants and knee-high boots. Furthermore, she picked up a black whip from somewhere and let it hang on her waist holster.

“…”

Yep. A Queen, through and through.

Fina, Yorm, Judy, and Fatima all reached the 7th stage. Although they were still low-leveled, from all the reverse feedback coming from me after each one evolved, their energy was already comparable to a 9th-stage.

Especially Fatima, who underwent a major change after reaching the 7th stage. The air around her felt like a god-

tamer’s already!

We all did our best, raising our powers to the limit. Even I managed to reach the upper limit of a 9th stage too. I’m now just a step away from becoming god-level, despite already possessing energy comparable to more than ten god-tamers combined.

This result is probably the best representation of the fruit of our labor.

lightsnοvεl I took a deep breath before showing a confident smile to everyone.

“Alright, shall we head out then?!”
