"{Spirit Wind Feather Rain}!"

Nyphenne, the daughter that looked the most like her mother, Nephiana, unleashed a storm of projectiles, firing hundreds of feathers made out of emerald winds and cosmic energy.

The projectiles rapidly descended, piercing the zombies' bodies and shredding them all into pieces, one after another, they all dropped dead, falling apart into countless fragments of flesh and bones.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! "SHAAAH!"

A gigantic zombie hydra snake hissed at her, rushing towards Nyphenne, and firing a triple beam of cosmic void and nether, capable of easily killing Great Gods back in Genesis. My daughter swiftly evaded the attacks as they chased her, using her long, dexterous wings to evade.

"HYAAAH!"

She imbued her powers into her talons, spiraling emerald winds rushed around and generated giant draconic talons, which she used to crush the snake's there heads at once.

CRASH!

Right afterwards, not-so-little-now Nyphenne conjured a gigantic cosmic divine spear of emerald winds out of her hand, piercing the undead monster's soul, shattering it, and killing it instantly.

BOOOM!

The monster's soul exploded into countless pieces, which she happily ate to boost her own soul's powers.

"Mommy! Mamaaa! Did you see?! I beat it all on my own!"

"Yes, yes, we saw it dear," Nephiana waved at her from afar.

"Very cool!" I cheered for her.

All the kids were trying to show off today, unleashing all their powers and discovering how far they could reach and how far were their new limits. The zombies stood no chance, aside from little Nyphenne, the rest of the children were all having a field day.

"Heheh… You're all undead but you can't do anything against my poison… {Abyssal Cosmic Slime Beasts Domain}!"

A purple-feathered, gloomy-looking harpy boy, my son Dereo, giggled as he spread out his large wings, large, constant pools of slimy, acidic venomous poison constantly poured out, washing away at the zombies, and taking the form of snakes, worms, octopuses, and other beasts.

SPLAAASH!

The zombies tried to fight back, but in between slowly being eroded and having to swim through endless annoying slime that entangled their bodies and crushed them, they couldn't fight. Even the largest ones that fire beams couldn't against him.

"Hehehe- Oh?"

"GROAARRR!"

However, amongst the undead, a Titan, a previous boss, appeared, rushing down with its gigantic fists, and trying to crush Dereo once and for all.

Yet the boy didn't change his expression, waving his wings to generate a huge wall of poisonous slime at once, stopping the physical attack entirely.

SPLASH!

"Did you thought it would be easy to approach me? I have become much stronger now, heheh…"

As he giggled, the poisonous wall quickly wrapped around the Titan Zombie, crushing its entire body, and slowly digesting it. Yes, his poisonous slime was actually like… alive, and it could digest things and he absorbed the nutrients.

Unlike the other children though, he didn't really care about being given attention, and was happy just using his powers for once.

"GROOHHH!" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

A horde of over fifty Cosmic Armored Zombies, wearing powerful armor and weapons, rushed towards them, as a fiery young, red-feathered harpy man roared, rushing down with his entire body ablaze, resembling a phoenix. That was my son Caellaeno.

"Perfect! All fifty of you are mine now!" he laughed. "{Cosmic Fire Phoenix Dance}!"

FLUOSH!

His entire body spun in midair and then descended, his wings spread out as he spun vertically and then horizontally, his entire body unleashing a storm of flames shaped into countless bird-shaped flames that consumed everything.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The crimson flames turned black, draining the soul energy of the zombies, and killing them, reducing them to ashes after that.

"Hahah! Aren't you easy to kill? This is way too easy- Huh?!"

"ROOAARR!"

Suddenly, the ground shook, the boss of the last and fifth floor finally appeared as the army of children pushed through all the zombies with their almighty cosmic abilities. A gigantic monstrosity made of white and black bones, covered with nether crystals.

[The Floor 5 Boss: [Nether Berserk Dracolich Aberration (World Devourer: Tier 8)] has emerged!]

[It is furious after seeing the destruction of its dungeon, and charges at the nearest foe.]

The giant skeleton dragon swung its claws down, Caellaeno tried to respond with an endless storm of flames, yet the claw itself passed through with ease. Rushing towards him.

CLASH!

However, as I expected, a huge wall of stone materialized, at the same time as a giant wave of golden sand wrapping around the monster's claw, crushing it with great pressure.

"A-Ah, shit, you saved me big sis!" Caellaeno sighed in relief.

The harpy's big sister had showed up to save their little brother. Naturally, that thing would be dead if it ever touched my son, but I wanted to let them experience pain and challenges to an extent. So I decided to only watch…

I used to be even more overprotective back then, but my mind has calmed down of those panicking thoughts, and I have trust that my giant army of kids can take care of each other.

They'll eventually have to, the world outside, the cosmos, is vast. If they always rely on their mother to be protected and survive… they might one day face something not even I can overcome and die pointlessly.

It is hard, but it's the truth.

My daughter Nepharia stood tall and strong in front of her brother, her body was much strong looking, slightly muscular even, her wings very long and golden brown.

And her power to control Stone and Sand made her a perfect protector and guardian, mostly specializing on great defensive spells and techniques.

"Caellaeno, are you ok?" Nepharia wondered. "Stand behind me! I'll take care of keeping it in check, you and the rest quickly fire as much magic as you can!"

"Got it!" Caellaeno nodded.

"GRUOOHHH!"

The Dracolich roared as it saw its claws being broken, opening its jaws and unleashing a devastating breath attack against Nepharia.

"{Golden Walls of Cosmic Stone}!"

BOOOM!
