Epic Of Caterpillar

-----

As Kireina finished defeating the strongest of Begudhur's Parasite Soul Clones present on the battlefield, she flew towards the main battlefield where she saw her family, alongside Goghesdum and Odanth fighting against the remnant monsters parasitized by Begudhur's Parasite Soul Clones.

"It seems that everyone is doing even better than before… and Odanth is defeating a ton of them, she's probably getting stronger by leveling up alongside Goghesdum," thought Kireina as she glanced with a pleasant smile at the battlefield.

Most of her family were handling the monsters with ease, all of her offspring were capable of fighting them almost in equal terms, and those that slightly struggled or had troubles were assisted by Kireina's Slime Clones or their mothers and siblings.

Goghesdum had changed into her Elder Dragon form, which she used to trample over smaller monsters or tear apart the stomach of the bigger ones. Thanks to the several buffing spells conjured upon her by Kireina, her power had increased exponentially, and by being below her enlightenment, she had become a formidable warrior.

With a big, red-colored slime, which was Kireina's Slime Clones, she used God Devour into her attacks, eliminating the Divine Split Souls inside the beasts she destroyed with her thunder, magic, jaws, and claws. 

Odanth on the other side was still rather inexperienced in fighting and needed the partial guidance of Kireina's Slime Clone, which revealed the position of the monsters and their intentions, so she was able to detect attacks and evade them while counter-attacking with her large and razor-sharp jaws or magic spells.

Everything was very sudden for her, but she seems to be adapting quite quickly and was now immersed in her passionate fighting spirit.

"Goghesdum seems to be in a fever rush in how much she's defeating these monsters… there are barely any left as of now…" said Kireina, glancing from above, her appearance was still that of a beautiful and angelic fairy, with bright colors, differently than her usual gothic attire and appearance.

This was thanks to her 'Goddess of Light Transformation' Spell, which she created to harbor the power of the Light Attribute Divinity in its entirety. This spell changed her appearance into that of how she could look like a 'Goddess of Light', and it was not merely for aesthetic purposes.

This transformation was produced by the Divinity of Light itself, which was once part of Apollo.

Divinities are not simply powers that are granted to a mortal when they raise to godhood but are powers that are formed by the result of this mortal's powers, abilities, talents, and other things amongst their unique traits.

And due to this, Divinities are not simple powers, but the creation and representation of the god itself, the representation of their spiritualism made into a power that could defy fate and bypass the barriers of mortality.

Gods might be given titles by the World's Will, but their divinity is not 'gifted' but it is created by their own unique traits and foundation.

This is why when Kireina uses a Divinity from the gods she has eaten, it is as if she were using the god itself for her powers. The Divinity of Light is not simply a Divinity of Light that any other god of the Light Attribute might have, it was the unique divinity formed from within Apollo's soul.

This is why, whenever she changed into her 'Goddess of Light' form, Kireina would take upon various of Apollo's physical traits into her own, such as his golden blonde hair, sharp and bright blue eyes with yellow sparks, healthy white skin, white robes, and many others.

Such transformation brought upon a different power than that of her transformations using the Calamity Abyss Demon Body Parts Skills, as it had its pros and cons compared to this transformation and perhaps the many other transformations that she had by using weaker transformation skills.

Kireina had even thought about creating such a transformation spell for each of the Demi-Divinities and Divinities she possessed, so she could harbor their power to a greater extent.

Of course, Kireina could always just use all of her Divinities converged together into a chaotic power, but using them alone in a form that enhanced and better harbored such power could showcase abilities that could not be seen nor used properly if all divinities were used together.

Kireina felt oddly cheerful and happy in this transformation, and even a bit carefree… this was because she was harboring not only Apollo's powers but what made his divinity… his divinity. His emotions, thoughts, way of seeing life, philosophy, and so on. Whenever she used this transformation, she would share a bit of this.

Kireina did not particularly felt that it was disgusting, but she felt like it could be a bit dangerous to use too much… but as long as her mind was not clouded by it, it was mostly fine.

Kireina glanced down below as she noticed the last monster being beaten to death. It was a Giant Thunder Hydra Wyvern, a rare evolution of a Thunder Wyvern with five heads with necks similar to snakes.

"All Weapon Combo! Golden Claws Slicing Barrage! Axe Decapitation! Crushing Mace! Golden Weapons Slashing Rain!"

Slash! Slash! Slash!

"GROWL!"

The giant creature was thrown from the skies by Nixephine, who had changed into her Giant Form after entering battle, her size now reaching almost fifty meters, thought Kireina knew that she could get bigger if she wanted.

Nixephine floated in the skies by using the No-Attribute Magic Spell 'Levitate', despite being a talented warrior, she was also very talented at magic and was good enough to maintain herself flying in the sky without much trouble.

She had used her six arms, two tails, and four claws to unleash an onslaught of powerful Technique and Arts, using various weapons such as an Axe, a Mace, Short Swords, and Long Swords and her own pincers and stingers, the giant creature that more than doubled her size could not defend itself enough with its scales and lost its balance midair, falling to the ground with a thunderous sound.

"Nefertiti, your turn!" said Nixephine, as Nefertiti flew from behind her at a greater speed than the half scorpion woman could, as her body was smaller and weighed less.

"You don't have to give me orders, Nixephine! I will roast it before you can even get down!" said Nefertiti, 'angry' over Nixephine's 'orders'.

Although her evolution did not change her appearance as much, her spiritual and magic powers skyrocketed to new heights, reaching Rank 14 in the Mortal Realm and even greater if she enhanced herself with more powers, even reaching heights such as Rank 16 or even 17 with Kireina's assistance, just like many of her wives.

Nefertiti flew through the sky like a meteor made out of bright yellow light, as her entire body was suddenly covered in blinding light and then… in burning orange flames.

After having awakened her Fire Attribute Magic when she was taken by Kireina as a concubine and having trained with her and her wives, she quickly leveled up this magic by constantly changing Classes, and reached the max level of Level 10 in the Skill through many explorations in dungeons, which she was often forced to undergone, as she was still a rather lazy Empress, with the complex of thinking that she deserved it all.

And after a certain conversation where she heard about a foreign God from Kireina's original world, Earth, Nefertiti began to create new spells regarding such being and its power over fire, ultimately rewarding her strange 'faith' over such a mythological foreign god into the awakening of her Fire Attribute Magic Skill at Level 10 into the Ra's Burning Sun Magic of Level 1.

Due to this new and strange Magic, she even acquired some new Classes to change into, which benefited her use of such mystical fire attribute magic.

Having acquired more than just Light, Nefertiti had broken through what was the 'norm' for her race, which was a descendant of the ancient True Spirit of Light, which were often called as the 'True Gods', created by the World's Will, before mortals raised into godhood and called themselves gods.

And she was enjoying her new powers, which she had started to finally converge together into something of greater power than she had ever imagined before.

"Ra's Blessing! Burning Sun of Ra! Blazing Arc of Heavenly Flames! Flashing Blinding Light Cannon!"

Nefertiti conjured many spells at the same time, a blessing that enhanced her magic power for a few minutes, a large sphere of burning fire, an arc of flames covering it, and then a cannon of light.

Flash!

The giant sun fell upon the Hydra Wyvern's torso, exploding and leaving deep wounds into it, while the arc of flames entangled the fiend so it could not run away while inflicting damage per second, and the cannon of light targeted its heads, although as long as one remained, it would still be alive.

"Grroowl…!" roared the Hydra Wyvern, trying to grow new heads as it fired many breaths from the remaining ones across the entire battlefield, making a chaotic mess.

"This one is the last, but it is quite resilient, let me assist you, Nefertiti-san!" said Nephiana, flying with her four wings through the air at an even greater speed than Nefertiti.

"Nephi! Let me kill it myself!" said Nefertiti, however she was ignored by Nephiana who was able to fly as fast as a rocket.

"Fufufu! Try this out! Slicing Wind Tornadoes! Celestial Emerald Talon Kicks! Slashing Emerald Wind Claws!"

Nephiana reached the Hydra Wyvern as she flapped her wings and released giant tornadoes made out of slicing winds of emerald colors out of nowhere, while also enhancing her talons and the greaves equipped in them to unleash Arts that even damaged such a giant being as a Hydra Wyvern despite Nephiana's little height.

Flash! Flash! Flash!

"Groooowl!"

Nephiana's attack left large scars on the giant behemoth, and even cut down many pieces of flesh out of it with ease. Thanks to having been promoted as the Heroine of the God of Wind and Storms after defeating the former Hero of Raging Winds, Nephiana experienced a great increase in all of her capabilities, and even though the pregnancy she still kept increasing her strength to an extent (mostly because her eggs were already laid!).

After acquiring many new Classes and having practiced and mastered Wind Attribute Magic, Nephiana became a fearful warrior, whose power was even increased when she recently evolved. Having acquired a new blessing from another god, her progress would surely be even faster than before.

After receiving her attacks, the Hydra Wyvern was barely hanging on it, but still struggled for its life, its body was shrouded on its Divine Aura, that of the Parasite Soul Clone parasitizing it, which mutated the body and made it suddenly sturdier and more monstrous, many heads grew again, and it even was about to take into the air once again.

"What? It just recovered all out of a sudden… You are getting on my nerves! Get down right now! Roaring Slicing Wind Kicking Dance!" roared Nephiana, flying towards the giant behemoth in front of her and dancing in the sky gracefully while unleashing massive kicks and slicing winds towards the hydra wyvern, even after its boost and recovery, Nephiana's attack charged a lot of power in her tiny and cute appearance!

The Hydra Wyvern tried to slash Nephiana's tiny body many times with its claws, but Nephiana evaded all of its attacks or intercepted them with her kicks, however, if things continued for a while, this might take too much time.

However, Nixephine and Nefertiti appeared, assisting Nephiana as they all ganged over the Hydra Wyvern for the last time.

"Aura Golem! Earth's Golem Titan Barrage! Golden Weapon Combo! Slicing Claws! Impaling Venomous Sting!" roared Nixephine, transforming her aura into a giant golem and using its large hands in the shape of scorpion pincers to slash and punch the Hydra Wyvern, while she used her six arms to release a combo, a combination of many techniques and arts into a single attack with her many weapons, and then adding into the mix her two stinging tails to seep deadly poison inside the behemoth.

"Ra's Blazing Sun Whipping! Third Eye Blazing Light Laser!" shouted Nefertiti, conjuring a giant whip made out of the flames of Ra, while channeling her mana into her third eye, which was made out of gold in the middle of her forehead, unleashing a laser of blazing light upon the Hydra Wyvern.

"And don't forget about me!" said Adelle, appearing from behind the girls to give the last push.

After having evolved, her physical strength had increased to new heights, she was now not delicate anymore, and held great strength and resistance to damage, alongside being able to combine her delicate and fine techniques with more brute strength, creating, perhaps the strongest Rapier Arts.

"Heavenly Saint Robes! One Thousand Heavenly Light Strokes!"

Flash! Flash! Flash!

Adelle engulfed herself into a robe of pure heavenly light, akin to a saint, she unleashed one thousand slicing attacks with her thin and pointy Rapier, which showed themselves as a torrent of golden strokes that began to break through the Hydra Wyvern torso. 

Nixephine, Nefertiti, and Nephiana combined their attacks as they unleashed a combined blast of Light, Fire, and Wind, breaking apart the Hydra Wyvern's entire torso once and for all!

"GROOWL…!"

Boom!

Pieces of flesh began to fall upon the battlefield, alongside Begudhur's Parasite Soul Clone, which was broken into pieces of glass-like materials, even declaring the end of this short battle that decided the destiny of the High Viper city…

Goghesdum and Odanth rested over a pile of corpses as they sighed in relief, while Kireina smiled mischievously as she went back to her original appearance.
