Epic of Caterpillar
chapter-525

"Big brother, pleaaaseee!"

"Everyone in the Dark Steppes is counting on us!"

Two beautiful Beast Demigoddesses pestered their big brother, Morpheus to cooperate with them.

One of the demi goddesses resembled a young lady in her early twenties, with a petite body and an almost flat chest. She had rosy and healthy white skin, short blue hair that only reached her neck, long and circular mouse ears atop her head, large and shiny aquamarine eyes, and a small pink tail atop her little butt. She wore a kimono with the sky and river motifs and when she talked hysterically one could see her big teeth at the middle of her upper jaw, which she showed cutely sometimes.

She was Dhyellele, the Beast Demigoddess of Rodents, she was a rather young demigoddesses between the beast gods, and was always hysterical on her behavior, but also extremely cute.

"Pleaseeeee! Think on the children, the children!!!" she shrieked.

"Dhyellele…" muttered Morpheus, his soft heart was already melting down to his young sisters' requests.

The other demigoddess seemed a bit more mature than Dhyellele, with a body that belonged to a woman in her early thirties, with a voluptuous figure, large chest, and wide hips.

She had bright green skin, covered in dark green scales around her shoulders, hips, chest, belly, legs, feet, and hands.

Her head had long and dark green hair that reached her wide hips, long and silky, her eyelashes were long and black, coquettishly looking at Morpheus.

Her size, however, was over three meters, and her feet were like those of a primitive turtle that still looked quite lizard-like. She had long nails similar to the claws of some species of turtles, and on her back, she carried a large, green-colored turtle shell. She wore a dress that seemed to be made out of fishnets and white cloth, revealing her skin while barely covering her chest.

She was Savaphe, the Beast Demigoddess of Land Turtles, not to be confused with her twin sister, Seavaphe, the Beast Demigoddess of Sea Turtles, whose children did not live with hers.

"Morpheus… please!" she said, although her appearance was more mature than her sister's, they were of the same age and she was acting like a little girl asking her big brother to do something.

Morpheus was a Demigod with a soft heart… but he could not really decide on what Kireina should or should not do. After all, he was serving her as of now, he could not force his master to do something.

"My sisters… I cannot simply ask for her help, my relationship with Kireina-sama is not that of a god and a believer, I am his servant, his loyal ally, I cannot force her to do something… even less when she had already helped Maeralya and Marnet a few days ago… could you give her a rest for once?" asked Morpheus.

The two goddesses sighed.

"E-Even if we give our divinities? A piece of it, I mean" said Dhyellele.

"Even when you give her a piece of your divinity, which is the greatest gift you could give to Kireina-sama, it is not guaranteed that she will assist you two," said Morpheus, waving his head.

"How about more…? W-We could… Maybe if we ask… the Dark Steppes gods?" asked Savaphe.

"Those gods…? Are you sure? Perhaps they will not cooperate… you don't have a bloodline bond with them, they might not take such a task with happiness… I fear that you might enrage them, sisters" said Morpheus, resting over a bed of flowers that was inside of his Divine Realm.

"You don't know them well, that they're Deon gods doesn't mean that they're evil!" said Dhyellele.

"They're… good people! We are just unfortunate good people" said Savaphe.

"I am aware of your children… but I think that it shouldn't be so hard to bring them here to the Empire… but what you actually want to do is to also help the other mortals that these gods are protecting, right?" said Morpheus.

Indeed, the two demigoddesses wanted Kireina to help their friends… their own children could be carried to the Empire at any time through the beast god's persuasion. Kireina would most likely not mind, as their children were not trapped by an evil god-like with Moonfang and Sunclaw, or brainwashed by some…

In the Dark Steppes, a powerful Demon God was awakening from its seal, but it was yet to do something too harmful, it wasn't like the gods there couldn't run away… but they feared that Kireina would discriminate against them for being Demon Gods, so they didn't want to ask for her help in person.

In resume, the two beast demigoddesses were not in dire need, but their friend's children, but because they let their mortal children with the other tribes, they did not want to separate them from their friends and allies so abruptly.

Another thing that the two considered is to bring the mortals with them to the Empire, but the gods didn't agree, they didn't want their children to go away without their supervision, especially because they couldn't fully count on Kireina's goodwill.

"Well, now that two of these gods blessed one of Kireina-sama newborn daughters… perhaps she might have the curiosity of meeting with them and talk with them… but that must come from within her own judgment, I don't want to put words into her mouth… Agatheina is the one that advises Kireina which gods should she help with Marnet and Maeralya. Why don't you talk with your other siblings as well? I am not the only brother you have, girls…" said Morpheus.

"But Marnet is a meanie!" said Savaphe.

"And Maeralya is scary, she always looks at me with a voracious expression!" said Dhyellele.

Marnet was often known to have a prankster and 'mean' personality between his younger siblings, but that was just his nature as a dog, he was playful and a prankster but sometimes he was too rough on his family… which made some of his younger siblings see him as a meanie.

In Maeralya's case, she could not help it, she was a cat, and Dhyellele was a rat. There was the instinctive feeling of wanting to hunt and play with her prey, which is usually rats or small mammals of the rodent family for cats and big cats.

Maeralya never harmed Dhyellele, but every time they interacted, Maeralya couldn't help but embrace her and never let her go, while playing around with her… at first it was fun, but she became too possessive with the little Dhyellele and she ended up not wanting to meet her much any longer…

"I think that you two have a very big misconception of your siblings, you should be more open with them… they really do love you two… and have you talked with Levana, she is rather young like you two, so you might get well together," said Morpheus.

"Levana…? Perhaps we should take her a visit…" said Dhyellele.

"Isn't she also the granddaughter of that Agatheina?" asked Savaphe.

"Indeed, Levana is Agatheina's granddaughter… her father was one of Agatheina's sons that gave our mother a child," said Morpheus.

Dhyellele and Savaphe glanced at each other mischievously.

They began to think that they can get closer to Kireina, through Levana, who was close to Agatheina, who was close to Kireina.

"Very well then, Morpheus! We'll go see Levana!" said Dhyellele.

Morpheus had a concerned look on his face, he saw something mischievous about their expressions… but decided to ignore it and to trust his little sisters' judgment.

"I am glad you two understand… hopefully, you two won't do anything funny…" said Morpheus

"We won't~ see ya!" said Savaphe, carrying Dhyellele over her shoulder as they left towards Levana's Divine Realm, which Morpheus opened a drift there for them.

Meanwhile, as Levana met with her two elder sisters, a slumbering Demon God slowly began to awaken.

His consciousness was sealed alongside his body and soul by a powerful god from the Central Continent, but as years went by, his power suddenly began to skyrocket, and the seal became weaker and weaker.

He was Jorgrakog, the Demon God of Aberrant Mutation. He was once a chaotic demon god who wreaked havoc in both continents, and by the will of the Supreme Gods, he was sealed by Zeus, Hephaestus, and others of the Zeus family as he was too dangerous.

They could not steal his divinity either, as it possessed a strange and unusual property that no god in the central continent could assimilate, so they could only weaken him and seal him for eternity.

However, these last years, he had begun to gather energy, which awoke a part of his consciousness, and in these last months, some strange events had been happening in the world where beings were mutating exponentially into new and strange appearances, due to these strange and odd circumstances, Jorgrakog, whose divinity was mutation and who absorbed power through this occurrence in the Realm of Vida, had his power skyrocket.

The seal was weakening, slowly cracking down, he was soon to be freed. To once again wreak chaos and destruction, to mutate and make things change constantly.

His consciousness started to leak out, which gave him the ability to use his divinity and some of his powers to inspect his surroundings and assess the situation he was in… seeing that he was sealed in an underground dungeon in the zone called 'the Dark Steppes', he got to know the existence of various gods that lived peacefully together.

"Disgusting! Where is the chaos? The mutation? The change?" he thought.

Jorgrakog despised stillness and peace. He despised when the state of matter was tranquil and non-changing. He was the god of aberrant mutation, of the constant change of things and matter, constant progress, constant power, and constant chaos.

He could not help but find everything disgusting about these gods, they could not be his potential allies but creatures he needed to get disposed of… but he couldn't as of now, he was too weak yet.

But he could use those mortal creatures, the countless of beings living in this place to his advantage, the more creatures he mutated and made the change, the stronger he would become and the quicker the seal would weaken.

He released waves of his divinity that intoxicated the unique flora and fauna… and change happened at last.

The animals, plants, fungi, and the intelligent demi-humans inhabiting the place began to mutate, they became aberrant monsters, crazed and filled with the voracious intent of devouring and growing strong, they indiscriminately ate their siblings and children, completely forgetting their bonds…

The gods quickly realized the horrors that Jorgrakog brought to their children and quickly gathered them all in a large area, where they protected them with a giant barrier made by combining their divinities… they managed to save their children in time.

But Jorgrakog was not going to sit down and accept this, he was a chaotic being, he desired change at all cost. He did not care if these demi-humans were being protected, he mutated the beings that surrounded him and slowly began to raise a giant army of aberrant mutant monsters to do his bidding, while also gathering energy from their mutations.

"Yes! Mutate, change! Soon! Soon! This seal shall break out, and I shall lead my army of chaotic creatures to the eternal chaos and destruction that they desire with all their intentions! I will- …eh?"

Jorgrakog felt the familiar presence of one of those damned gods that sealed him and made him fall into a slumber where he could not bring change and destruction anymore for many years, Hephaestus.

"Hephaestus! You bastard, you're one of those that have sealed me, have you come to seal me again?!"

"Silence, and listen to me… I have a proposal that will benefit you greatly"

"…huh?"

Jorgrakog was still too weak, sealed, and unable to use his powers, he could not retaliate back to Hephaestus but had to fall into silence and hear what he wanted to say.

"One of my allies, the Demigoddess of Star Gazing Eyes, has brought me an oracle… that being, Kireina… shall come here for you… and will bring your demise" said Hephaestus.

"What?! Kireina?! Who is that?! And you came just to tell me that some being I do not know about will come to kill me, Hephaestus?!"

"Don't worry, Jorgrakog, I have the perfect deal for you! How about we cooperate and kill her instead? I will even free you if you accept" laughed Hephaestus.

"…what?"

Jorgrakog thought that this was too good to be true, but it is not like he had any other options.
