Epic Of Caterpillar

-----

While Brontes fought against Vretrion, the fight outside of the Spatial Domain began.

Although Vretrion tried to send away the Gods that were guarding the Kingdom, they refused and simply escaped inside their Divine Realms, Khustia ended convincing Vretrion that there was nothing wrong with a little help, but at the same time ended dooming them for what had just arrived.

When Kireina teleported here, she didn't simply make up the spatial domain and that was it, her Spatial Slime Clones led by Kiroid quickly assisted the two groups she bought with her, which she had bought here for them to test their new strength as divine beings!

However, the Gods themselves were completely unaware that the Spatial Slime Clones and Kiroid were slowly trapping them into an even bigger spatial formation for them to not even be able to escape through moving their divine realms with them inside!

The Gods guarding this place were assigned by Zeus and his children Hermes and Dionysos long before they were even parasitized by Kireina, and know that Zeus had suddenly cut their Divine Connection with their parents and him, they began to feel weirded out.

They glared from above to the surface, and nothing wrong had happened "yet", as Kireina had created an amazing illusion of the tower she had just blasted into pieces, and there was another illusion veil over the city to not show the panicked Abyss Cyclops glaring at the tower fall apart.

Now that Kireina's Illusion Magic fused with her Dream Magic, her illusions had evolved and became even more advanced, to the point of easily fooling Gods, no one below Great God Realm would be able to discern her tricks and illusions, and even then, Great Gods might even have trouble discerning it correctly too unless they were to directly touch such illusions.

As the Gods glanced down below as nothing was happening to their eyes, they sighed.

"These giants are really quite not so different from us humans… This time guarding and protecting them has enlightened my mind a bit…" sighed Priapus, the God of Garden Fertility, son of Hermes. A handsome young human-looking man with pale white skin and a gentle smile, his eyes flashed with pink light, and his hair was long and green, covered by many flowers and vegetation, he wore clothes made of grass and held a staff made of Yggdrasil Branch wood of high quality.

The three Satyrs, sons of Dionysos, Pherespondos, the God of Joyful Messages, Lykos, the God of Bad Messages, and Pronomos, the God of Unexpected Messages laughed at Priapus comment.

"Haha! Has Pan gotten into your head, brother? What are you even talking about?"

"These are monsters, why would you feel like they're anything like our humans?"

"Maybe you drank too much of father's Divine Wine!"

The three Satyrs resembled three young men in their early twenties, they were human in appearance except that their feet were goat-footed and they had goat-like horns over their heads, but they were originally humans, and still felt like humans, the three were rather similar, healthy white skin, shiny golden eyes, messy brown hair, and all of them wore cheeky grins.

"I have not touched that wine in months! And did father taught you to be such insolent little brats? I don't think so!" sighed Priapus.

"Come on kids, stop fighting. All of you can come to onee-sama's divine realm and drink all the wine you want! Fufu… *Hic*" said Methe, the Nymph Goddess of Drunkenness, daughter of Dionysos. She was a beautiful and charming young woman with healthy white skin and shiny golden eyes, alongside long golden-brown hair. Her figure and face were seductive, and she seemed to be always drunk. It was said that her fierceness in bed was akin to a starving succubus.

"We would like to pass on that offer, sis, your wine is not really that good!" laughed the three Satyrs.

"Hmm… Methe's alcohol is not really the best… Ah, I know you guys fancy sweet wine, so why don't you come to meet me instead?" asked Pasithea, the Goddess of Sweet Liquor, daughter of Dionysos. Her appearance was of a more mature and gentler woman, with a similar appearance to Methe in almost everything except her hair, which was made into braids. She was a passionate brewer of sweet liquors using special divine materials and all kinds of special fermentation techniques.

"A cup of your wine would really relax my nerves a bit… I am still wondering why grandfather has suddenly cut our connection with our parents… Could have something happened?" wondered Priapus.

"I think there might be something related to the recent events… Perhaps grandfather cut the connection so we wouldn't participate in the battle? Perhaps he didn't want us to risk our lives… Or is that just wishful thinking on my part? I do wonder…" sighed Sabazius, the God of Wine and Vegetation, son of Dionysos. He was an older man, with a beautiful white beard covered with flowers and a manly and muscular appearance, wearing clothes made of plants and covered in flowers, like Priapus, he wielded a wooden staff.

"I do wonder what mysteries lay within this entire event… I am fearful that it might be something we wouldn't want to know~ Father… I hope he is okay, though," said Telete, the Goddess of Tentative Mysteries, daughter of Dionysos. She was a beautiful and slender woman with the appearance of someone within her mid-twenties. Her flashing pink eyes were only equal in beauty to her entire body, wide hips, large breasts, and short pink hair all covered by a sexy dress resembling a belly dancer dress.

"Haahh~ I really don't think I am fit for a guarding Job, I am not even fit for fighting… Daddy is really getting annoying with these requests… Yeah, I hope he's fine but come on, why would he want someone like me to fight? So annoying…" sighed Thysa, the Nymph Goddess of Wild Frenzied Orgy, the daughter of Dionysos. Her beautiful appearance was similar to Telete, but her beautiful body was perhaps even more appealing, with glossy and white skin, enchanting purple eyes, and long pink hair.

As the children of the Gods spoke, the other four Gods assigned to this guarding duty took their job a bit more serious than the spoiled kids that accompanied them.

"The young lords are as chatty as ever… Though deep down I cannot even be capable of relaxing as much as them, there's something concerning me… This war against Kireina is dangerous, as someone capable of eating Heroes left and right when she was a mere mortal… Now that she is a Goddess, what kind of monstrous power will she possess? Shouldn't Zeus-sama reconsider things a bit? I am worried about the safety of Artemis-sama…" sighed Xygnos, the God of Hunting, he resembled a young man within his late twenties with a muscular frame and a stoic face, he wore leather clothes and carried around a bow made of beast parts which were infused with the power of the beasts it was made of. He was part of the gods raised to godhood by Artemis long ago and held her in great respect.

"I also think the same! Although I am angered at her after she ate my champion and stole my blessing from him, there's nothing we can possibly do… The Tribe of Nomads of the Grasslands has already been exterminated by her… Although my rage over such an incident is still boiling, we cannot let our wild rage blind our judgment. We are Gods, not the beasts we tame or hunt," said Kriarae, the Goddess of Wind Beasts. She resembled a beautiful and muscular chocolate-skinned amazon with long emerald hair and shiny crimson eyes, her body was covered in the scars made by the claws of the Wind Beasts she tamed and added to her army, she was a mighty goddess below the protection of Artemis as well.

"We can all agree that she is a monster in all of the sense of the word… her growth has always been abnormal to the point of surprise, she constantly surprised us with her great advancement in Ranks and power… I remember when we all thought she would simply die out of old age sooner or later, but quite more sooner than later, she had already become a Goddess in less than a year from being born… Her strength should be left to handle to the central continent, our lady and her father taking justice by their own hands might be led to our inevitable doom" said Ormos, God of Fierce Animals, he was similar to Xygnos in appearance, a tall and muscular young man with long black hair and aquamarine eyes, he had tamed countless animals and held a large army of beasts similarly to Kriarae, and was also below the protection and leadership of Artemis, being one of her former champions of old, just like the other two Gods.

"Patience, you three… You call our young lords unexperienced and naïve, yet you say such rash things and assume a million things before anything of such caliber were to happen. I do believe that even as Gods we lack some self-awareness of our own and we are inherently flawed just as we were in our lives as mortals. For now, we should simply watch over this place as it was commanded to us, if things were to happen… we would know soon after. Nonetheless, preparations are never a bad thing…" said Ylphion, the Goddess of Duty. Ylphion was one of the oldest goddesses below Artemis commands, she resembled a mature woman in her early thirties with a slender figure and a stoic face, yet beautiful as well. She was pale white-skinned, with shiny golden eyes and long silvery-white hair, she was barefoot and wore a simple white toga, her ankles and wrist had golden accessories within them, shining brightly.

These Gods were also sent by Artemis some time ago to accompany Dionysos and Hermes, children. Artemis was a virgin goddess who had no children, but this didn't stop her from helping her former champions and their party members to rise to godhood, becoming her divine servants, who she took care of as if they were her children to an extent. All of these Gods respected her greatly and held her on an altar as a benevolent and good-hearted woman with great devotion.

Artemis knew that these four Gods were responsible and devoted, so she had given them the task to take care of these young gods who were often naïve and reckless.

The Gods continued talking leisurely, however, unaware that space itself was bending around their Divine Realms… until it finally happened!

FLASH!

Kiroid and the other Spatial Slime Clones activated their Divine Techniques, unleashing countless Divine Runes all around the area and generating a closed pocket dimension containing all the Gods Divine Realms within!

"We got them!" said Kiroid with a greedy smirk, she had inherited Kireina's maliciousness and enjoyed trapping Gods with her powerful spatial magic, which she had been sharpening since she was given such power from Kireina's "upgrade" and now that she had become a Goddess, it had become even stronger, to the point of doing similar feats to Kireina, if not even better due to her vast specialization, and the ability that Kireina had to share a single Path Jewel with Clones made of her soul and flesh. Kiroid was made of her soul and materials, so it worked, and the same was for all the Spatial Slime Clones!

By unleashing the power of the Void and Space Path Jewel in tandem, while using their newfound Divine Energy as all Spatial Slime Clones were Living Deities at minimum now, they unleashed an amazingly powerful Spatial Formation that trapped the Divine Realms of all the Gods guarding this place incredibly well!

And they were never found out as they fabricated such an amazing formation while hiding within pocket dimensions and the spatial layers.

As the Spatial Formation was created, the gods didn't notice this at first hand, and continued to chat leisurely and carefreely, while Kiroid opened a portal to the outside and brought the two groups of allies that wanted to test their new divine powers with these Gods…
