Day 351

Minokichi and Asue leave for the Beast Kingdom. Rou transports them to the Ship Dungeon (since that and the Underwater Cavern Dungeon are the closest to the Beast Kingdom) and they walk towards land from there using magic shoes that let them walk on water. Rou covered them up with his clone bodies to disguise them as normal giants.

Rou plays around with the dungeon settings of his base. While making sure not to interfere with the artificial dungeon Velvet created, he increases the fertility of the farmland, divides his territory into 4 with each section having a different season (Summer, Autumn, Spring, Winter presumably), gives a recuperative effect for the Parabellum members on the training grounds, and other little things. Since he can use either magic power or divine power for these changes, he's mostly relying on magic power because of how easily he can replenish it, however he can't do as much with only that (it's a 1:10,000 energy ration between divine and magic power).

He eats the Number Hero's Sacred Treasure (I translate it as "Numerical Expression God's Soul Alteration Cane") to replenish his stores of divine power. It's a Fantasy class Sacred Treasure and, unlike the time with the Water Hero and Avenger, all its abilities are completely unlocked. Since the Holy King was supposed to be special for having unlocked his Sacred Treasure's abilities to the point of reaching Fantasy class (though still only having Legendary class strength), I assume its strength was unlocked when Rou took it.

Day 352

Rou plants some of his clone bodies in the ground around the dungeon seed to protect it. Apparently, because of how strong he's become from ranking up and constantly eating dragon meat, his clone bodies are now strong enough to fight against Sovereign level monsters.

Rou tries to improve the process of producing strong undead (he's been continuing that practice from before where he'd have his summoned skeletons fight against each other and rank up; he calls this process "Worm Toxin" which is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kodoku) and finally finishes eating the Number Hero's Sacred Treasure (gets all of its abilities).

Day 353

Apparently, apart from undead, he's mixed in Devils, Oni, Dragons (small sizes only), and Giants into the process. This day is pretty much a description of the fight. The winner is a monster called the Altar Devil, which looks like a priest with shadow octopus tentacles coming out of its back and it has the ability to hide in the shadows. It comes out and kills a fire drake after the latter managed to kill everyone else.

Rou pretty much spends the entire day summoning more monsters with Kanami for each round of the Worm Toxin.

Day 354

Kichi is making some headway in traveling towards the Beast Kingdom. Rou spends the day talking about all the other kingdoms' situations.

Sternbilt Kingdom doesn't really have any problems. They received a messenger from the Holy Kingdom for the aftermath of the Crusade. That's about it.

For the Empire, THEY were the ones who Fate Plundered the 4 Heroes. For clarification, the 4 Heroes who were listed as having been Fate Plundered in the Crusade army list were taken into the Empire Psalm as a result of having lost to the Empire. So I suppose it's the same process by which Avenger had his Psalm subordinated under Rou's Psalm. Anyway, the Empire is fine for the most part since most of the heroes they lost came were former enemies anyway and only some of their casualties were part of the Knights group.

In the Devil Empire, Hyulton's son has finally managed to quell all the unrest and take full control of it.

Same with the Beast Kingdom, though it was done mostly through force.

Rou speaks about the distant kingdoms (the ones who are far away from him) that are located on the other side of the Holy Kingdom. Since the quality and number of each individual kingdom is vastly inferior compared to the Holy Kingdom, they're trapped between considering subordinating themselves to the Holy Kingdom or formign a coalition against it (the demihuman countries are in the Haizekus Alliance and the military countries in the Harendia Federation). Some countries also tried attacking the others too.

As for the Holy Kingdom, the Holy King foresaw that the countries it annexed would start to get unruly from the news that they lost the war, so he's started sending subordinates to take care of the situation. Apparently, even after losing quite a number of heroes, they're still quite strong. In fact, they've got quite a number of Divine Blessing Holders (the ones who have yet to achieve a hero job, but will eventually achieve it or have the potential to by virtue of the fact that they have a Divine Blessing in the first place) and other talented warriors under their control. Anyway, the Holy King (who's the Rule Hero) is handling the situation pretty well.

Day 355

Rou spends the day fishing with the sisters accompanying him. Since they cooked everything he caught, the scent attracted the rest of his family. Kanami, Blacksmith, Female Knight, Dorian, and all his kids come. Even Alchemist is there, but she spends her time taking care of Nicola.

Day 356

While eating the clone hero, Rou trains against a number of his subordinates simultaneously. Firstly, there's Akitainu and Ramul (the female Thunder Dragon Man; I remember someone asking for her to appear more on the impressions page and the author said he would, so hey, nice). The sword Akitainu received from Rou before (Moon Sky War Wolf) apparently has the ability to release slashing attacks in the shape of wolves. Ramul on the other hand is using a living body naginata. Since she's a "Thunder" Dragon Man, the weapon possesses the ability to electrocute and fry the insides of her targets. Rou is using a pair of sticks made from a special alloy as his weapons.

Netsuki and Fuuki attack Rou from behind while he deals with Akitainu and Ramul from the front. Rou only uses his arms for Netsuki and Fuuki. He hits Akitainu from under his jaw, trips up Ramul, stabs Netsuki in the stomach, and slaps Fuuki's butt really hard and blows her away.

After these four, he fights Redhair, Female Knight, Kumajirou, and Kurosaburou. After them, Boss Monkey, Gladiator King, Is Haa (the female mantis), and Limbo (the Dullahan). He gathers up the elites of Parabellum and fights them in groups.

Since he's seen how well everyone has improved (he has to move up from using wooden weapons, like during that battle royale at the end of the hell week training montage to a special alloy for training use), he's thinking it should be fine to up the ante on their training regime again.

Day 357

Rou catalogs all the treasures he's collected with Blacksmith, Alchemist, and the Sisters (since they were all Peddlers). He doesn't really go into detail of what he's got because he got way too many things (from the treasure chests he's received for clearing boss fights to drops from the bosses).

Day 358

Minokichi safely meets Asuti (the new Beast King), beats her up, then goes home.

Apparently, Lionel asked him to beat up Asuti just to show her what the "top" was like. Basically, he wanted to introduce Minokichi as a powerful enemy for Asuti to motivate her to get stronger as well as to make sure she doesn't get conceited.

From observing things with his clone body, it seems that Minokichi broke Asuti's skeleton, busted up or twisted her organs, and basically left her in a half-dead state. I guess she can thank her dad for that experience. She'd have regenerated fine on her own, but without proper treatment, she'd have been left with lifelong injuries so Minokichi healed her with some dungeon medicine.

Minokichi baits Asuti into pursuing him again in the future by saying if she wants to take back her father's Sacred Treasure, she'll have to defeat him.

The rest of this day is a long segment of Rou against Parabellum, with him only using the cursed spear and halberd for the training match. The PoV is 3rd person omniscient.

Redhead is now strong enough to take out dragon level monsters in one blow using a skill from her Sacred Beast Eater job.

When Redhead is about to get hit by Rou, Akitainu saves her but ends up getting entrapped in Rou's string. In response, he uses the Sacred Treasure he received (Mask's Soul Seal Face) and activates its ability called "Masquerade" to soften his body like a slime and try to reduce the damage from Rou's attack. After managed to endure Rou's attack, Akitainu tries to counter but is thrown away towards Ramul who dodges. However, she ends up getting blown away by Rou anyway when he makes a surprise attack on her when she lost sight of him while avoiding Akitainu.

Ramul managed to soften the hit by discharging electricity and blasting herself forward and stands up to face against Rou again. While he's facing her, Female Knight and Dull Iron Knight unleash their skills and try to attack Rou from behind. Rou easily manages to hold them off with his cursed spear alone despite the flurry of attacks they're aiming at him, but apparently their goal was only to hold up one of his weapons. Eventually, though, Rou raises up the speed of attacks and sends them both flying into the air.

Boss Monkey's takes this time to jump onto Ovarou's body to try and restrain him for an instant, letting Ar and Or open up on Rou with their range attacks (Ar with his bow and Or with her magic gun). However, Rou intercepts their projectiles with his Curse Shot ability. Boss Monkey receives the blowback from the explosion of the projectile and Rou blows him away with a shield bash.

Netsuki equipped with his Sacred Treasure (Wolf's Soul Fang Sword) and Is Haa attack next. Akitainu managed to rally and Female Warrior attacks under his cover. Oniwaka and Opushi with her jewel beasts are there too. Scarface, Trojuu (with his Sacred Treasure, Sand Bull's Soul Horn Ax) are there. Kumajirou and Kurosaburou too. Basically, at this point, they're all being defeated in the same instance they're mentioned at.

Kanami, Blosato, and Spesei also end up joining in the fight against Rou in the latter half, which greatly upped the difficulty for Rou, though he still managed to win.

At the end, Rou is thinking of preparing a festival for his (and, presumably, the rest of his goblin group's) birthday. The day finishes with him synthesizing 3 new abilities.

Day 359

Rou felt nostalgic for the taste of the caterpillars he used to eat as a goblin, but the caterpillars he ate didn't taste the same. Using the ability he gained from Gobujii, it seems the catepillars he ate in the past had their flavors changed from tasting a substance called "Goblin's Arrow Poison" (presumably the same poison used by the goblin bandits back when the previous Hobgoblin Leader attacked Redhead and the others' caravan). So with the help of Alchemist, he concocts the poison and feeds it to some caterpillars so that he can reproduce the taste from his childhood.

Day 360

Rou cooks with the Sisters and the Meal Hero's party.
