Now that I had taken the dungeon, I decided to glance at its status before merging it with my own.
"System, show me this dungeon status…"
Ding!

"Congrats, Kaggoth, your dungeon is better than Morpheus. It seems that you're more responsible for it than him" I said.
"Ah- Kireina-sama… you mean Morpheus the Centaur Demigod?" asked Kaggoth.
"Indeed… his dungeon was way more abandoned, at least you're diligent enough," I said.
"I see… well, aside from my children, I am rather a lonely woman… so I don't have siblings to take care of or spend time with unlike him… understandably, he doesn't have much time for the dungeon management… didn't he had many wives as well?" asked Kaggoth.
"Indeed, he has a big family… So you didn't give birth to the Cancer with another partner?" I asked. Kaggoth said that she was a 'lonely woman' so I was curious if she gave birth to them asexually.
"Oh! No, no… my beloved children were born from my romance with Xoeyr, the Demigod of Sea Salt… he was such a lovely man… he was a human in the past. Our love was forbidden by his superiors and parents in the central continent pantheon because I was a Demon Demigoddess, and they found my kin appearance hideous… but Xoeyr always said that I was the most beautiful woman he had ever met… For my security and that of our children, he decided to go back to the central continent and pretend that we never met so the gods would not suspect of my existence and our relationship… I have not met him in hundreds of years by now… since then, I've been… very lonely and… w-well, quite sexually frustrated…" said Kaggoth while bubbling in embarrassment.
"I-I see… Well, I hope that someone can give you the satisfaction that you seek one day…" I said.
"Haah… Y-Yes… Perhaps that person might be… closer to me than I think? Fuu…" said Kaggoth while trying to imply something that I did not want to recognize. My Slime Clone Colony glanced at me with a smug… are they making fun of me?
"Anyways, time to merge the dungeons… perhaps you've never seen this, Kaggoth, so sit tight because it will create a few tremors seeing how far the coast is from my Empire…" I said while opening my status window and selecting the aforementioned options.
[Wicked Bloody Labyrinth of the Devilish Demoness (Merged Dungeon)]'s Unique Skill [Dungeon Devour; Level 7] has been activated, however, it needs the Master approbation]
[Approve of this?]
[>YES NO]
"Yes!"
Ding!
[The [Dungeon Devour] Skill from the [Wicked Bloody Labyrinth of the Devilish Demoness (Merged Dungeon)] has been activated]
[Both Dungeons are being merged, please wait, and sit tight]
Boom!
The whole ground began to tremble as a giant piece of the building ran through the underground, breaking down any kind of stone, minerals, or anything present, even subterranean monsters were not spared on its rush.
In a few minutes, it clashed against this dungeon, making Kaggoth reflexively get frightened.
"Uwah! W-What is going on?" she asked.
"It's the dungeon, it seems to have joined with this one…"
Suddenly, a part of the wall from the last floor opened, leading to a corridor made out of purple bricks. This corridor appeared on many other floors as well.
"T-That's… impressive! I have never seen a dungeon capable of doing something like this before! The Dungeon Skill Name is… Dungeon Devour, right?" asked Kaggoth.
"That is right, it is unique of my own dungeon, the one I created in an old and abandoned dungeon that was created by Mana contamination. After defeating another small dungeon, I acquired a dungeon core, which I used on it… perhaps the power of my Devour leaked into my essence when I awakened the dungeon" I said.
"That… might be the case… Well, Kireina-sama's existence is incredibly unique," said Kaggoth.
Ding!
[The [Wicked Bloody Labyrinth of the Devilish Demoness (Merged Dungeon)] has devoured the [Kaggoth's Cancer's Oceanic Depths Labyrinth] and both dungeons have been successfully merged!]
[The Energy of both dungeons is being shared, a dungeon expansion through the [Territory] of [Grand Forest] and the [Border Continent's Coastal Region] is going to take place]
[Expanding…]
Boom!
Another strange tremor happened, this time it was very short, lasting a few seconds.
Ding!
[Complete]
"Is it… finally over?" asked Kaggoth.
"Yes… now time to see the status, perhaps a smaller upgrade happened in the dungeon," I said, glancing at the status of the merged dungeon.

"It gained around five levels… not much as before, but I still got the dungeons of Maeralya and Marnet to fuse into as well… I wonder if it would evolve at level 100… Do dungeons even have level caps?" I wondered.
"I don't really know, Kireina-sama… My dungeon was of a rather low level, and I haven't heard of other gods and their dungeons…" said Kaggoth, she could be said to be a shut-in. She was a Lone Goddess, so it was obvious that she lacked much interaction with many other gods.
Lone Gods were gods that did not belong to any pantheon and were… well, loners.
Although there were a few Lone Gods that were once part of a pantheon but deserted from it due to many reasons, the majority of the Lone Gods seemed to have always been alone since they were raised to godhood.
Although this was the case, I wondered if Kaggoth was once part of the Demon Gods Pantheon in Thanatos.
"Kaggoth, were you once part of Thanatos's Demon Gods Pantheon?" I asked.
"Thanatos Kingdom Pantheon? W-Well, I remember receiving an invitation, but it was after Ragnarök, so I never had a strong bond with them formed through the war… I did not accept their invitation as I preferred to stay here… I was also unsure if they would ever betray me or if it were a trap… I am quite paranoiac" admitted Kaggoth.
"To be honest, I am also quite paranoiac, so I understand the concern… but what exactly made you trust me over them?" I asked.
"Well… Kireina-sama has many great achievements, it is also a mortal with young age and a humble background… and well, you have already shown that your pantheon is varied and that you care about the gods in them as you saved their mortal children… those demon gods on Thanatos hasn't done anything as admirable as that!" said Kaggoth.
"Admirable…? Is it admirable? Well, okay, I guess it is…"
There was a small and awkward silence until Kaggoth remembered that she had promised to give me her claws to eat.
"Oh right!" she said, as her ethereal projection showed her detach her claws without any force or aggressiveness put into them, they just fell off the arms attached to them.
Then, she delivered them inside the dungeon through a teleportation magic circle…
Flash!
Each claw had the size of a giant truck and was completely covered in a red exoskeleton which had countless small spikes and beautiful tattoos a decoration.
"It has been quite long since I have detached them! I used to do it all the time when I was a mortal, they were always effective to leave some bait for my predators… I even used them when I was a Living Deity to escape from a group of Divine Beasts in one of the Higher Realms" said Kaggoth.
She was just like crabs, I suppose.
Crabs can easily detach their limbs and use them as bait for predators to eat them instead of their main bodies, similarly to lizards, but way more advanced.
Unlike Lizards, which cannot abuse this so much because their tail will not grow as fast and cannot regrow too much, crabs and most arthropods can regenerate lost limbs in a few days.
"It will take around two days for them to fully grow again… if Kireina-sama and her beloved family liked the taste, please feel free to ask for more!" said Kaggoth.
"T-Thanks… it doesn't hurt? Does it weaken you?" I asked.
"It doesn't hurt… it feels a bit numb, but nothing much. I did it so much in the past that I acquired Pain Immunity for most of my body. And they do weaken my offensive power, but it is not like I am fighting… nor am I good at fighting, to be honest… so it does not matter much," said Kaggoth with a cheerful tone of voice, she seemed incredibly happy that I was going to eat her claws…
Well, I decided to save them for tomorrow to enjoy them with my family, for now, I decided to drink the Elixir made by a fragment of her divinity and then head back to my Empire with the rest of my family and citizens.
Kaggoth decided to accompany me as she moved her Divine Realm from its position in space for the first time in hundreds of years, she was able to travel through with it at quite a fast pace, totally being capable of keeping up with my max speed.
My Slime Clone Colony was equipped inside my body as it met with the other beings that rested inside my flesh.
Kaggoth's Divinity Fragment Elixir was azure-colored, and was quite sweet, with a delicious seafood taste, like the combination of many fish, crustaceans, and other beings, it was by far better than the Starfish Dew from the Aquaria Kingdom…
[Kireina] acquired [Large Fragment of Water Divinity (Kaggoth)]!]
[The acquired fragments have been integrated into current Pseudo-Divinity!]
[Kireina] gained +180 Soul Stats!]
[Kireina] gained +300 HP, +100 MP, +100 Strength, +200 Defense, and +100 Magic!]
[Kireina]'s [Daughter of the Sea; Level 1] Skill has been awakened into the [Daughter of the Sea King's Magic; Level 1]!]
[The Levels of the [Daughter of the Sea King's Magic; Level 1], [Divine Energy Comprehension; Level 1], [Divine Energy Vessel; Level 6], [Artificially Created Divine Material; Level 1], [Forbidden Divine Treasure; Level 1], [Divine Energy Conversion; Level 1], [Divine Capacity Expansion; Level 1], [Divine Self-Repair; Level 1], and [Divine Body Adaptability; Level 1] Skills have increased!]
It seems that Kaggoth had given me some titles due to her recognition of me.
[Kireina] has acquired the [Cancer Race Supreme Sovereign] Title!]
