Epic of Caterpillar
chapter-1020

Kireina glanced at the Half-Titan Great Goddess in front of her, her gigantic body was mighty and intimidating, but her beauty made her graceful at the same time.

Ova angrily rushed towards Kireina, as she wore no weapons other than her own mighty body. Her body was shrouded with tattoos of beasts, all the beasts that composed her powerful Great Divinity, and the one that granted her the power of the totems!

With these powerful tattoos, she was sure of her advantage against Kireina, even more as Kireina sensed that her aura was overflowing with the powerful essence of the Attributes Particles of Life and Nature, her Law Essence was just as high, making up for a formidable enemy!

Kireina, however, had no plans on losing today. Her foe was mighty, but the power she had cultivated this whole time should make up for it, even if a little bit!

As Ova saw her army clashing against Kireina's army, she glanced directly towards Kireina and charged with her army. She wasn't someone that enjoyed staying behind in wars. If she was the leader here, she was going to charge with her troops!

Kireina continued to extend her darkness as countless rifts opened, where more of her soldiers and allies emerged one after another, at some point only hundreds of tamed divine beasts started to appear, however! But with Ova approaching her, she quickly cut off the rifts as she infused her entire aura into her body, glaring at the tall Great Goddess!

"Today will be the day you will die!" roared Ova.

"(Does she not know I can make clones? Perhaps she knows but she also knows a way to kill me even with clones? Hmm…)" Kireina wondered, as she continued to infuse energy into her body in a few split seconds!

FLAAAASH!

Ova sensed the enormous pressure coming from Kireina's mere presence, her power was so amazing it twisted space around her and even seemed to slow down time itself! Ova wondered if Kireina already had a large amount of time attribute particles, although seeing how there wasn't any god of that attribute here, it seemed greatly unlikely.

Oga infused divine energy into her arm, as she started the fight with a simple punch towards Kireina. However, her punch was not "normal" as it was infused with the might and power of a great goddess, all her attribute particles, law comprehension which multiplied her elemental damage, and of course, her elemental aura coating it to add up the elemental damage!

CLAAAAASH!

The immense punch shattered space itself as glass-like pieces of space particles flew away, a giant hole in between the spatial layers appeared, as the shockwave of the attack reached all across the battlefield!

Ova's emerald eyes glanced at Kireina…

She was…

Fine?!

Ova noticed that Kireina's hand had caught her enormous fist with amazing… and utter easiness.

"W-What?!"

"A punch strong enough to shatter space itself. I see I see. You are indeed a formidable Great Goddess, Ova…" said Kireina, although she pretended to be fine, her entire interior was in complete agony, her soul was shattering into tiny pieces and devouring itself constantly to resist the damage, while her internal flesh was disintegrating and regenerating over and over…

Crack… crack!

However, Kireina suddenly let it all away as she broke from her shell, this was part of her Path Jewel, [Mortal Shell: Abyssal Eldritch Divinity: Cthulhu], whose wondrous passive effect was…!

…

[Mortal Shell: Abyssal Eldritch Divinity: Cthulhu (30/30)]

Passive Effect: Create a Mortal Shell of your horrifying and monstrous existence, hiding the truest form of you within a compact body of your liking and shape.

Enhances all capabilities while being in your Mortal Shell, and creates a natural shell that can survive any hit before being destroyed before unleashing your true form.

…

With this, Kireina's shell broke apart as she resisted a hit that would have actually left her incredibly weakened horrifying Ova!

"This…!"

However, before Ova could do anything else, she felt a sudden sharp pain in her hand!

Like an invisible and vicious mandible that had bitten into her hand, a sharp pain rushed through her arm, as she saw a monstrous miasma-like shadow substance that continued to leak through her entire hand up to her arm!

The substance was strange, oozy, ad deadly, by merely touching her, she was slowly being turned into ashes and at the same time devouring!

This power was… not only the power of Monarch of Gluttony and its various and wondrous Abilities, but Kireina's Chaos Attribute Particles, her Divinities merged into it, and her own Soul Aura and also…!

"This power…! What… Unngh…! Is this… a Dao?! You from all people have a DAO?! No… Multiple ones?!"

Ova was left speechless as she suddenly stepped back! Gritting her teeth, she used her other arm to slice her infected arm while there was still time, although most of her arm had already faded into ashes!

This was the power of the Fragment of the Dao of Nothingness and Emptiness!

By merging it with several other powers, Kireina was able to create what she called, "Essence of Demise" within her entire being, which caused those that touched her to be infected by this oozy miasma-like ethereal substance, which devoured anything it touched and consumed it, only leaving ashes behind…!

"Haha… HAHAHAHA!"

Kireina began to laugh maliciously as she showed Ova her hand, flashing with this oozy black essence, which Ova suddenly grew very wary of!

"Come on, Ova, what's wrong? Didn't you want to fight against me? Come, let's throw some punches!" laughed Kireina, as she suddenly began to shapeshift!

FLAAAASH!

Her transformation only lasted a millisecond, as she transformed into an enormous mass of shadows and chaos coated in crimson-red eyes… This form was actually the truest expression of her very being, her original form before even becoming a Caterpillar.

What Ova was spectating was… the child of a Primordial Deity!

"What kind of being are you, really?" asked Ova with scorn, as she glanced at Kireina's horrendous form, a mass of pure chaos with several crimson-red eyes, the personification of the disorder itself. Her Origin Core was flashing with the essence of her powerful Trait, Defiance, making her even more intimidating! And to boot, through the fragment of the Dao of Transformation, she was transforming 20% of all her other Attribute Particles into Chaos Attribute Particles, boosting her Attribute Particles to insane levels! In this form, she was already bypassing 100k Chaos Attribute Particles!

Ova sensed her Chaos Essence and immediately could tell that her level of chaos attribute particles was completely out of this world! In this form, she was already very closer to… a Supreme Goddess of Chaos!

"Maybe not at close quarters, but at long distance, I can fight!" roared Ova, bracing herself as she was no chicken! Her entire body flashed with her powerful divinity, as her totems across all her body glowed with different colors!

"GO! FOUR DIVINE BEASTS!"

She roared as she summoned her powerful totems, who inherited around 70% of her total power, including law comprehension and even attribute particles! These were the strongest totems she had created, the best in the entire world!

"RRROOAAARR!"

"CRRAAAA!"

"GRAAAOOO!"

"GGRUUUOOARR!"

Suddenly, four enormous beasts emerged, roaring fiercely and emanating powerful elemental auras from within them!

An enormous Tortoise of over 200 meters of height, its black shell was like a gigantic mountain, and the entirety of its body was black scaled. It emanated a powerful Shadow Attribute Power. This was the Black Tortoise!

A roaring white tiger with the size similar to the tortoise, with strong muscles, fluffy fur, and long sable tooth-like fangs, roaring fiercely. It emanated a powerful Light Attribute Power. This was the White Tiger!

A beautiful and majestic bird, with an intimidating size of over 150 meters, enormous wings that covered the skies, and a sharp golden beak. It emanated a powerful Fire Attribute Power. This was the Vermillion Bird!

And lastly, the most enormous and majestically powerful of all four, an enormous serpentine dragon resembling a dragon from ancient Chinese paintings, coated in azure-colored scales and whose roars were like thunder itself! It emanated a powerful Thunder and Wind Attribute Power. This was the mighty Azure Dragon!

Kireina was surprised by these mighty creatures, they were no mere Divine Beasts, they packed up the power of a Great God each!

And even more… It seems that Ova was grasping the Dao of Transformation!

Through these Totems, she transferred her attribute particles of Life and Nature and converted them into the elements of the creatures!

"Amazing! Each beast has the elemental power of a different attribute, yet she's using her own main attribute particles on them. She's essentially using the Dao of Transformation without realizing it?" wondered Kireina.

"Let's see if you can fight against my four beasts, the beasts that had accompanied me through my entire life!" roared Ova, as she infused her aura into her beasts, making them even stronger!

These beasts were in fact just as she said, they were the wild animals and monsters she grew up in the forests as a child, which she had tamed long ago. Each beast was but a little creature at that time! Over many centuries, they grew to immense sizes and evolved into Divine Beasts, when she ultimately managed to create Totems and converted them into Living Totems!

"Let's see if they can resist my Essence of Demise!" laughed Kireina, rushing towards the four beasts recklessly, as she resembled a black meteor!

FLAAAASH!

The four beasts roared against her, receiving her with bravery as suddenly!

FLASH!

The Vermillion Bird was the first to act, rushing towards her to confront Kireina, and firing an enormous barrage of fire meteors against her!

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Kireina generated dozens of barriers made of miasma to shield herself, infused with Monarch of Gluttony, the barriers devoured the fire without an issue!

However, as they devoured the fire, they exploded one by one!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"Oh?"

Kireina realized that such fire was detonating even when it was consumed, such a dangerous fire couldn't be eaten carelessly, especially due to the immense quantity of fire attribute particles it packed!

However, the Vermillion Bird wasn't that impressive! Kireina rushed towards it and extended her tentacles of chaos, and fired countless chaos rays against it!

However!

FLASH!

Suddenly, within the shadows of the Vermillion Bird, the Black Tortoise emerged, hiding beneath its shell, it took into the hits head-on!

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

Kireina realized that her essence of demise was working on the turtle, it is just that it was such a resilient shell that it was slowly being eroded!

"What kind of shell is that?!" wondered Kireina in amusement, as suddenly, the Azure Dragon rushed at her left side and the White Tiger at her right side!

"RROOOAAARR!"

"GRRAAAOOO!"

Author's Note:

Sorry to interrumpt the action guys, but I was wondering if you got any more ideas for Daos, the idea contest is still ongoing! I've already decided to add a couple of your suggestions, but more are always appreciated (and it doenst have to be just of Kireina, but of other characters within her family too!).

Addiitonally, I would like to as you if you got any ideas regarding Realm Core Abilities, they're usually large buildings or facilities with special effects that can be shared with a wide amount of people, so go crazy and suggest anything that comes to your mind!
