Epic Of Caterpillar

.

.

.

After the meeting with gods and Cathin, the day went as usual, as I accompanied my children with their Divine Energy Manipulation Classes with my first body while I explored the outskirts of Moonfang with my second body, rescuing a few little villages and sending them straight to my Empire.

Convincing them was quite easy if I used my Mirage Magic, creating a charming fragrance, most of these weak villagers were not able to resist it, and obeyed me diligently.

The night fell and we decided to call it a day and rest for a bit. Although I was not tired, I liked the routine of resting. My soul had just eaten several divinity fragments, so proper digestion into my divinity is needed. Although Geggoron's will has been completely extinguished from the fragments I ate, it still a bit unstable.

Well, to be honest, I just wanted to stop rescuing cats and had some steamy night with my wives. What is so wrong with that? I do not like to rush things… most of the time.

Everyone was particularly lusty tonight, fighting really puts them in a good mood. Perhaps the adrenaline has not gone out of their bodies get.

Kireina once again was in her dreams.

A dark space with an endless road made out of blood appeared before her.

"Is this…? My dreams. I am getting used to this by this point…" muttered Kireina, instinctively knowing that she needed to walk through the bloody road to find the meaning of her new dream.

As Kireina kept on devouring Geggoron's Split Souls, her ability with dreams and its manipulation had become greater, unlike previous times, she was now able to be fully aware and conscious inside of them when they happened.

Yet, the 'instinct' of following such dreams remained within her.

As Kireina explored her dream and walked through the endless bloody road, she came across small puddles of blood. And as she advanced, pieces of scarlet flesh began to appear before her path.

She decided to eat some and see how they were.

Greasy, bloody, salty.

"This is delicious… But it has a feeling of familiarity… Oh, this is my own flesh" said Kireina.

As Kireina kept snacking on the flesh scattered all over the bloody road, she drank the blood of the puddles as well.

Sweet, with a hint of saltiness. There was also a certain, liquor richness that made it an incredible drink.

"This is my blood…" said Kireina.

Having eaten the flesh and drank the blood, she came across other body parts.

Bones, hearts, intestines, stomach, fangs, claws, tails of different shapes and sizes, skulls, skin…

She tasted and savored all of them, and each time she did, she identified them as her own body parts.

Then, in the middle of the road, she came across a world filled with spiderwebs. The threads were of all types of colors, but crimson red, and dark were the most.

Kireina decided to grab on the threads and eat them, she tasted them a bit, but she found them not as delectable. She ended up creating a set of clothes with them, thinking about her little children, the seven harpies, she sewed clothes for all of them.

The clothes then disappeared into crimson dust.

Kireina felt confused by this but decided to continue her journey, walking through the path of blood, flesh, and bones.

She came across a gigantic mountain. It was pitch black, like charcoal.

Kireina decided to climb it and explore it. And as she did, she found bright jewels of all colors inside the mountain, alongside precious minerals, which she decided to eat.

"This is delicious… they're full of many flavors, the flavors of the attributes…" muttered Kireina, such jewels and minerals reminded her of the ones she was capable of creating with her Creation Skill.

She kept climbing the mountain, and came across different types of strange beasts… they were fleshy and grotesque, they tried to devour her.

Kireina, however, saw something special in them and decided to tame them.

She cut off her flesh and feed it to them. The beast seemed confused by her actions, but they ate her flesh happily, and then a bond was made.

More beasts appeared, following her around, as she gave them her flesh, they became happy and loyal.

When she climbed the peak of the mountain, she had thousands of fleshy beasts following her. Each fleshy beast was different on their own. Some had more eyes than others, or others were of different colors, while some were covered in exoskeleton or carapaces.

As Kireina reached the peak of the mountain, she glanced through the horizon, and only found everlasting darkness… though, she always felt comfortable in such spaces.

However, when she sat down at the peak of the mountain, her butt cheek was slightly pierced.

"Ouch… how can this even damage me?" wondered Kireina, she then glanced at the peak of the mountain, and then to the rest of the mountain that she had climbed, mined, and eaten.

It was a gigantic, dark horn, with a sharp end, sharper and thinner than a needle.

"A horn? So, I was climbing one of my horns… these dreams are very strange" thought Kireina.

She descended through the giant mountain horn, as the loyal fleshy and grotesque beasts followed her around happily. Since she fed them once, they did not seem to need food anymore.

"All of you remind me of… myself?"

To Kireina, each of the little grotesque flesh beasts was like a little clone. Although it did not have her humanoid appearance, it had a familiarity to her when she transformed into a grotesque creature.

Kireina played around with them and then kept walking through her dreams… until she found a strange, crimson door in the middle of the endless darkness, this was the end of the bloody road.

The beasts that were following her stood still, they seemed to fear the door.

"Why do you fear this door?" asked Kireina.

Some beast growled but remained still.

Kireina decided to see what was behind this door for herself, opening it.

Space itself changed, as Kireina found herself in a strangely decorated room.

Cute caricatures of monsters and grotesque creatures were painted in the colorful walls, alongside countless plushies of tentacle monsters, fleshy creatures, and grotesque fiends that were scattered all around. There were toys as well, of all colors, shapes, and sizes.

There was a cradle in the middle of the colorful yet eerie room.

Kireina walked towards it, curious.

Then, she felt a powerful presence… intimidating and even monstrous.

But Kireina did not fear, she walked towards it without any issue, with a curious expression.

"Who might you be…?" wondered Kireina.

Glancing at the cradle, she found a strange being.

It was a mass of red flesh, palpitating, and breathing heavily. It had dozens of different eyes scattered all over its fleshy body, alongside tentacles filled with sharp teeth and tongues. There were purple-colored snake scales covering part of such tentacles, and a golden scorpion exoskeleton alongside a claw in another section of the formless body. There was a sharp scorpion stinger as well, over the top of its 'head'.

"Ah, my child… it has been some time since I've seen you…" said Kireina, carrying her child with her arms. Her child expressed its love by tearing apart her flesh, puncturing her body with its stinger, and devouring her body.

However, Kireina did not feel pain nor fear but embracing love.

"I'm glad you're so voracious, it must mean that you're growing healthy," said Kireina, without minding her flesh being torn apart out of her bones.

Kireina's child answered her mother's love with a 'kiss', extending its jaws and munching her head off. Crunching sounds filled the room as the grotesque monstrosity devoured her mother indiscriminately.

When Kireina was completely eaten, the little monster felt alone.

It began to cry.

It felt sadness, it could not control itself.

Its hunger…

The voracious hunger…

It ended eating its mother again…

The one that loved it the most…

It betrayed the only one who showed it love again…

Now it is alone, without her love and warm embrace…

"Mo… mo… mo… ther… mo… ther…!!! Uwaaahh…"

"You will never be alone," said Kireina, her existence reappearing, as if being completely eaten was not a problem for her anymore. She hugged her child.

Her child glanced at her with its countless eyes, warm tears flowing from them like a river.

This time it hugged her mother and did not eat her, it only cried and loved her.

"It's fine, it's fine. You are just very hungry. No matter how much you feed on my flesh, I will always be there for you. I shall become your nourishment, as long as you need it," said Kireina.

"Mo… ther… so… rry…" muttered her child, crying.

"It is fine… I love you, do not worry. Do not be sorry. A true mother would never hate her own child," said Kireina, embracing her child with all of her love.

"Mo… ther… I… lo… ve… you…" said Kireina's child, as it's body began to release a bright aura.

"I love you too…" said Kireina.

Flash!

Her child suddenly began to shine brightly, its grotesque and disproportional appearance began to tighten and shift… it began to transform.

By receiving the unconditional love of her self-sacrificing mother, Kireina's child transformed into something stronger and refined.

Now that it understood that its mother loved it and saw it as the most beautiful of things, it saw itself as one as well.

The feeling of acceptance that it needed to blossom, was finally found within itself.

Kireina smiled as she saw her child become something new…

However, the dream ended before she could finally see it as it saw itself.

Kireina felt several powers within her body converge and become something new.

She suddenly felt her entire body 'possessed' by an oddly familiar presence!

"Uwah! My power is rising like crazy…! What is this?! Wait, this presence giving me power… Isn't it…?"

"Amiphossia? You're awake way too late, go back to sleep" said Kireina's voice from within Amiphossia's mind.

"Mom?!"
