Epic Of Caterpillar

I had wondered if the system was working properly for everyone, but Andromeda had shown me that the System was handling just fine, and that the status of everyone was also fine. The system I had developed had evolved with me after I became a Supreme Goddess, so its now totally my power. Wherever I go I will always have it with me now, even if we are outside of Genesis, that doesn't really matter anymore, apparently.

And well, I also had my main body in Genesis, so the core was still in that planet and things were mostly fine and stable there, as I had left my divine realm there too, of course. This body of mine had no access to my divine realm, as it had been cut, but my soul was here, yes.

The pools of lava around us and the hot atmosphere made of this place the perfect place to relax and have a spring vacation. I wonder if there are spring waters around here, but I doubt it, and if there are, they might be too hot.

Well, with my powers I could completely terraform this entire place if I wanted and make it into a beautiful forest with a spring and more, but I doubt that's what demons who adapted to this place would want, so I better just not.

"Mama, look how much I hunted!" said Vudia.

"I also hunted a bunch, they're so easy!" said Ailine.

"They were not hard at all, I thought this place would have deadlier creatures." Said Belle.

"Yeah, easy peasy!" said Nirah.

"I-Impressive…"

"All of them are archdemons after all, they're in a completely different level…"

"Amazing…"

"Well done girls! You've won yourselves an hug and kisses!"

I hugged my children who had worked hard with my various limbs and kissed them a bit. as I shapeshifted, the Imps seemed horrified by my ability, I guess its rare to shapeshift here? I thought demons had more varied abilities.

"Anyways, these guys are Imps, people of this demon-filled hell. They're nice so I decided to become their friends out of nowhere, they know a lot of stuff. Let's go to their village for now so we can know more about the people, also I am hungry." I said.

"Sure! Nice to meetcha!" said Rimuru.

"It is a pleasure." Said Zehe.

"You're all small! Haha!" laughed Ova.

"Ova don't be disrespectful of their tiny appearances." Said Brontes.

But for some reason the Imps were fine with being insulted by Ova, as they nodded happily.

"Don't worry about it, please! It is a pleasure to be praised by our small size, we are indeed quite small."

"Yes, we are a small race of people, thankfully, using this body size, we can get through the intricate cave sections."

"Yeah! We Imps are proud of our size."

I guess there's people for everything, they're actually proud of being small, but I guess you could say the same for Dwarves and more… so its not too much of a stretch.

"Please follow us around here!"

The Imps led us through a series of caves underground, the areas continued to get stretchy, but everyone around us was able to shrink our bodies so we got through with ease.

The caves were filled with red and orange rock, and there were many interesting metals and crystals we had never seen before, a variety of interesting and new ores we could check out, which were called Demonite, Demon Crystal, and more.

They were filled with demonic energy, the Imps mined them every day for their own cultivation as well as using them to make tools. Their tridents were apparently made out of Demonite Metal, which was a very strong metallic material capable of absorbing energies from tortured souls.

They had a complex cultivation system where they used their Demonite souls to get energy from tortured souls, which they repurposed into their bodies and nourished their cores with… it was overwhelming, but I guess it was indeed something they draw power from.

They use this to nourish themselves, and also absorb negative energy for it too. They're able to use the alchemy taught to them by Mammon to absorb the energy from Demonite into their bodies by making them and refining them into potions and other consumable materials.

  When we got through the caves we reached a large cave section with many openings, in here was where their village was, their houses were made up of stone they shaped through their powers, and there were even smaller Imp playing around.

We saw some female Imps too, and they all looked quite the same to be honest. There were kids practicing the torture of souls using smaller pitchforks. We learned they also have cattle demon beasts, which were somewhat domesticated into consumable little beasts.

They also grew some kind of strange demonic and fleshy crop, and there were ores growing around as if they were placed by them purposedly, they probably also grew them as crops, maybe.

The last surprising thing after this was how… simple everything was.

"Here, this is our house!"

The Imps resulted to be part of a big family, they were all siblings, cousins, and so on, so I did a good thing by bringing their family member back from the dead, they would had grieved him later on and that wouldn't had been good for me.

As we were greeted by the little Imp children who played around and were so small, they resembled tiny rabbits, I decided to begin butchering some of the demon beats to taste them. However, I wanted to take out their demon cores more than anything. Devouring a few of them began to give me demonic energy, which felt completely different form just divine energy, it had a denser presence, and was darker, hotter, and spicier too, it was way different than what I had thought…

However, I was strong already, so nothing here gave me Skills no matter what, even if they were aliens from another dimension.

Nonetheless, we began enjoying our meals.
