Epic Of Caterpillar

-----

The Dragon Gods roared against Kireina, as she let her family and allies massacre the Gods.

Kireina in all of her grotesqueness expanded her body through her powerful Path Jewel Abilities, becoming the embodiment of chaos in the flesh, as her various jaws and eyes glared at the three small figures in front her.

All three of them were the servants of David, who had been tricked by the Dragon Gods into believing that they were going to save David, all of it only to end up being nourished and used as new vessels to harbor their divine souls, their strength had soared ever since, even more, when they devoured their own dragon bodies and unlocked greater powers.

It was similar to how Zudig acquired the powers he showcased within Nyzzet's Dungeon some time ago, after having devoured a Hero and then taken over his body, he acquired Divinity Devouring and many other powerful Skills and Abilities, surprising Kireina with his might.

Kireina glared as her family slaughtered the rest of the Gods, she glared at the three Dragon Gods rushing at her and remembered that her harpy babies, which had just recently fly into the battle fused together once were the companions of these people in their previous lives.

And as she had previously discussed with her family, she planned to save them.

Of course, save them… by eating them!

She quickly told all her family and allies to let her handle these three idiots through telepathy, as everyone nodded happily and continued with their god-slaying activities.

This family was filled with devilish beings, even when the Lower Realm Gods continued to plead for forgiveness or that they were only forced into this, they continued to slaughter them anyway.

Were they innocent? Yes.

Did they care if they were or not? Probably not at all.

They were nowhere better than them in this regard, everyone was trying to survive, and a good method to survive was to simply kill the weak and nourish yourself with them.

If they didn't do this or if they never went into the offensive, they would have ended as the ones chased down and killed, this was merely anticipating your enemies' intentions and preventing them from having an upper hand against you by simply… killing them first before they could even act!

This was the "Kireina's style" as many liked to say, where she simply spied on her enemies who planned to kill her, and then came right at them before they could even complete their plans, killing them before they even had the chance!

And for her own amusement, now, these three Dragons were here to confront her for a stupid lie that they actually believed.

Zudig could be said to be a genius by figuring out that such a simple few letters would work so well into killing these dragons.

"Kireina! We see at last! Now tell us where Zudig is! Why has he allied with you?! Let us kill him!" asked Brulzrayn in the body of Blaire, a beautiful Salamander Woman with long crimson-red hair, sharp orange eyes, red skin, and coated in many scales. An Aura of power and fire exuded from her body, shaping as a large dragon, raising its wings upwards.

"Tell us about Zudig! Or we'll kill you!" asked Qondress within the body of Leonia, a Lion-kin Beast-woman with a tall and muscular body, long blonde hair, and a lion tail and ears. An Aura of power and water exuded from her body, shaping as a serpentine dragon.

"You had tricked us all! But we don't care… We have achieved the power to even rival you! Even if you got a talent for spatial magic, it won't matter! We had already reached the Realm of Great Gods with such a power!" said Nymbais within the body of Kaze, a slim, handsome, and youthful Fox-kin beast-man with long azure hair and fox ears and tail, his aura exuded the power of winds, flashing and shaping as a large and fat dragon with a comically big jaw.

Kireina glanced at these lizards with perplexity. 

"What are you even talking about? Zudig? My ally? …Oh! I can't believe it… Did Zudig just send a message to you saying something about allying with me? And you just believed him so easily? Haha! I guess I have to thank him now that he brought me some nice meal," laughed Kireina.

The three Gods were now the puzzled ones.

They couldn't believe what Kireina had just said… but… she wasn't lying, now that she had them trapped like this, why would she even care about lying anymore?

It was a pure truth! Kireina… was saying the truth!

"W-What…?!" asked Brulzrayn in the body of Blaire, as he gritted his teeth.

"Zudig is not here?!" asked Qondress within the body of Leonia.

"Wait… Have we been blinded so much by rage that… We just believed his words without any proof?" wondered Nymbais within the body of Kaze.

Kireina noticed that her curses were not working completely on them, as she had not completely specialized on curses nor she had made any Path Jewel with them, it seems that Nymbais held potent healing wind magic within him, which he used to generate a domain around him, protecting the dragons from even the intrusive illusions she could generate by her mere presence.

The three Dragon Gods quickly realized their stupidity, as they realized that they had been blinded by rage. However, there was another factor into the equation they had forgotten, which was that the new bodies they took and the souls they devoured and ultimately fused with changed their perspectives and warped their perceptions of everything. Perhaps these old and wise dragons were not able to perceive it, but the strong emotions and naivety of the mortal souls they fused with began to root into their wise and old minds, making them slowly warped. It was as if their perception was changing.

This was because they were unlike Kireina. Kireina was impressive in the way she was capable of absorbing any kind of memories and experiences from the souls she devoured and fused with, without these memories and experiences affecting her personality at all. This was because her personality easily overpowered any other that were to try taking over her from the memories she acquired. This was most likely due to the true nature of her soul as a Lesser Primordial Deity of Chaos, the children of Chaos herself, whose powers have been sealed and weakened but that they were awakening at a rapid pace.

Although the Gods all around the world were trying to imitate and copy her way of doing things, her way of devouring gods for quick powerups and more, it was impossible to do it 100% as perfect as she did it.

It was merely a stupid act to believe that they could even do the same as her.

Those whose minds were not as grotesque, varied, and immense such as Kireina's mind, who possessed thousands of split minds inside constantly doing many things, would easily succumb to the experiences, emotions, and nature of the souls they devoured and fused with to acquire their power.

Additionally, because they lacked Gluttony, the complete digestion of the gods they devoured was impossible, and they would only be able to partially suppress and fuse with them, the same thing that happened to Zubekh.

In all of the World of Genesis perhaps Kireina and her allies and family were the only ones capable of completely assimilating such things. Her allies and family were affected by her Enlightenment and Guidance, being given similar mental attributes to her, and they also had her support and help, so unlike other Gods, they would never be taken over by the memories and emotions of the souls they devoured.

And even more, because she was able to share her Gluttony with them, it was possible for them to completely digest what they ate.

However, Brulzrayn, Qondress, and Nymbais were different, they had thought they could do the same, but in the end, by fusing with such feeble mortal minds, they ended being negatively affected and ended becoming, in simple terms, dumber!

Kireina thought that there could be the possibility of the consciousness of these three mortals turned into gods by them to be eroding the Gods' minds as they were devoured and assimilated…

"You fools, it was the souls you devoured. In the end, you still raised them to godhood, right? Perhaps because their consciousness, emotions, and natures conflict with yours, they are simply making you all… dumber! Did you really think that you could easily do what I do? All of this stupid world thinks that they can do the same things I do, that because you can all eat Gods, you will be the same? Fools… And all fools will pay with a miserable death! Now, die fighting or die pathetically, you choose!" roared Kireina.

Kireina quickly activated her Life and Nature Path Jewel, coating herself with powerful bark strengthened by her thousands of Nature and Life Attribute Particles, as she resembled a mass of bark that moved like tentacles, reaching towards the Gods with sharp spear-tipped branches!

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

Coating the spear-tipped tentacle branches with several offensive techniques and art skills, Kireina released enormously potent attacks that pierced through the wind and the spatial layers with immense power, the power of all her Nature and Life Attribute Particles!

The Dragon Gods managed to evade by shielding themselves with their powerful Divine Auras, but even the Auras were easily shattered, as Kireina managed to impale parts of their bodies!

SLASH! CLASH! BOOM!

"Agrr! This power… What are these Attribute Particles?! This is insane…!" cried Brulzrayn, as he used all of his power, shapeshifting Blaire's body into a giant dragon and resisting the attacks, albeit they all punctured through his body with utmost ease, but he possessed Lesser Uroboros and devoured himself, healing barely every time.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

"Her power… what is that?! We have worked so hard to get five thousand Attribute Particles in our Attributes yet… yet… She has 37 thousand in Life Attribute!? Ad over 20 thousand in Nature Attribute!!!" cried Qondress in the body of Leonia, as he quickly had to transform into a giant serpentine dragon with a long jaw filled with razor-sharp teeth, who was being constantly pierced by Kireina's barks and getting his soul more and more damaged by her vicious gluttony, which coated every one of her attacks!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

"This must be because of the Yggdrasil Sprout, so she stole it and somehow absorbed all of its Attribute Particles?! Unbelievable…! Those Attribute Particles are already those of a Great God!" cried Nymbais within the body of Kaze, as he was forced to transform into a large and fat dragon, constantly healing himself and using his grease and flesh to shield himself… but such methods were useless, he was being slowly consumed by Kireina's onslaught!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Kireina was simply way too overpowered! Where was the balance in this?!

The Gods thought that at the very least they would be able to defend themselves to an extent, but Kireina's power was simply too much for them! It was ridiculous…

"Did you said something about being at Great God Realm? Show it to me then!" roared Kireina, ruthlessly pursuing the Gods, albeit she was merely playing around with them!

Her entire body continued to expand, as the Gods suddenly saw how she generated fruits around her body… and then, the fruits opened… as crimson-red eyes!

"Eh?!"

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

The Gods were suddenly showered by countless rays charged with the power of her soul and various divinities, enough for the Gods to feel the tremendous pain of the difference in power between them and hers!

"Come on, if you don't do it now, I am just going to just eat you~!" laughed Kireina, as the Gods quickly gritted their teeth, desperately trying to survive, and ultimately flying next to one another, gathering, and fusing their divine auras!

"No matter what ridiculous being you are… we won't get killed here!"

FLASH!
