Epic of Caterpillar

chapter-583
As the Seven Harpy Siblings had their fun slaying evil with the power of heroic justice, Kireina glanced as her family was all slaying the Divine Beasts at a good pace, deciding to descend and take upon the battlefield as well.
Due to the immense sizes of Divine Beasts, being the smaller ones above one hundred meters tall, Kireina decided to not change her size as much and to descend as the mass of pulsating flesh, organs, and other body parts covered in dark and metallic scales and skin.
After having inspected her surroundings and detected that the mysterious gods that she sensed disappeared, she decided to descend and assist her family.
There were over thirty Divine Beasts left, and although most of her family were defeating them with ease, she wanted to gather some Experience Points by herself and practice a few of her strong abilities, Divine Beasts were the closest to fighting a god, and they should bring a good, if not impressive amount of Experience Points.
Some of the Divine Beasts were also beginning to evade her family and move directly towards the High Siren Nation (City), Kireina had created many layers of her Domain, but Divine Beast possessed powerful attacks that even made her God Devour mixed into her Domain falter, breaking various holes into the domain and letting them escape."Hmm… twelve had escaped… the rest are being safely slaughtered by my family. Let's go there then" said Kireina, moving her grotesque body across the artificial sky of the vast space of the last floors of Nyzzet's Dungeon.
Led by a quadruped Zombie Dragon with its head in the shape of a hammer, the twelve Zombie-type Divine Beasts ran towards the High Siren Nation with great speed, roaring and groaning in anger and hunger for the flesh of the living, just as most Zombie-type monsters, they had an undying hunger for the flesh of the living and their warm blood.
However, just as they approached the delicious meals that awaited them after being dropped in here by Zudig, a large mass of flesh and tentacles fell upon them, covered in dark exoskeleton and scales. In each tentacle, there were large eyes, jaws, and long and sticky tongues, some of which dropped deadly and corrosive poison or others that extended even longer than the tentacles themselves.
"GROWL!"
The Hammer-Headed Dragon Zombie was surprised by the sudden alien creature that emerged from the skies, as Kireina was using Mirage Attribute Magic enhanced by her Divine Aura to mask most of her presence, until the very moment she attacked!
Her tentacles and tongues began to entangle the Hammer-headed Dragon Zombie, and then the mass of flesh and tentacles shapeshifted even more morbidly into a large and abyssal mouth with millions of razor-sharp fangs spiraling inside.
Although the Divine Beast roared, slashed, and munched on the flesh of Kireina with anger while releasing Phantom Attribute Magic spells in the form of deadly phantasmal breath and blue flames that absorbed the life force of others, Kireina's flesh regenerated at an outstanding pace of any wound inflicted upon it, and any wound that was to be cursed would simply be eaten by her own flesh…"GROOOOWL…! GROWL…"
The Divine Beast could not fight any longer, its entire body was slowly eaten and munched into tiny pieces by the expanding mass of flesh until it completely disappeared within Kireina's body.
"Hm, that was quite good… Who is next?" She asked, glancing at the Divine Beasts that roared and attacked her gigantic and formless body from afar, using Magic and their Breath attacks as long-ranged weapons… they instinctively knew that they should not touch Kireina if they did not want to be eaten.
"ROAR!"
A large Zombie Dragon covered in a pelt of dark fur opened its jaws filled with razor-sharp fangs and fired a cannon of sickly green and purple energies, seemingly a Poison and Phantom Attribute Breath attack charged with the natural Divine Power of Divine Beasts.
"What an interesting attack that is… How about this? Chaos Laser!"
Kireina suddenly concentrated all of her Eyes Skills into a single area of her body, generating a gigantic sphere out of her fleshy and formless mass of a body, a giant eyeball with thousands of small irises emerged, charging in Kireina's Divine Aura and Mana, and flashing an enormous laser of multiple colors shrouded in darkness towards the Fur Coat Zombie Dragon.
Flash!
The Laser of Chaos Attributes Mana and the energy of her eyes converged into a single and pressurized cannon clashed against the Dragon's breath, easily destroying it and then reaching the Zombie Dragon's head.
"GRRRAAA-"
BOOM!
Kireina's attack, which was charged with God Devour began to eat away the Zombie Dragon's flesh as if it were disintegrating it, even when Kireina did not touch, she was capable of devouring others through this method and the combination of various effects, such as Adephagia and Uroboros, which she could infuse into her attacks.
"Hmm… this one had a stronger flavor… Next?" Kireina said, directing her gaze, that of the thousands of eyes spread across her fleshy and formless mass of a body, towards a group of five Divine Beasts that chose to avoid her and attack the city while she distracted herself in eating the others.
"You think I couldn't see you? Calamity Abyss Demon Arms and Jaws" she said, as her Aura suddenly expanded over her gigantic body, countless masses of flesh emerged from her body, taking the shape of large claws covered in dark scales and tentacles. One after another they detached themselves from her own body and flew towards the Divine Beasts, falling upon them and beginning to smash them into the ground mercilessly.
"Calamity Abyss Demon Bones and Horns," said Kireina, as from her body large amounts of bones and spiky horns emerged, taking in the form of gigantic and wild beasts, jumping over the Divine Beasts, and piercing their bodies with their sharp limbs. Some of such beasts converted purely into weapons, piercing and stabbing the beasts together, even if various of them ended being destroyed at the end.
Kireina then extended her tentacles into the weakened Divine Beasts and entangled them within her flesh, devouring them while they still struggled for surviving… one after another.
"Hmm… Scrumptious!"
It seemed to be a completely one-sided fight where Kireina was just devouring everything and having a feast, the Divine Beasts were particularly strong though, and managed to take in dozens of her hits… but at the end, they were devoured, nonetheless.
"I suppose these Divine Beasts were quite weak compared to what Agatheina had told me… There should be stronger ones in different Realms, perhaps they could be a good challenge to sharpen my Skills?" wondered Kireina, as she expanded her aura and coated her various limbs and body parts, firing them as projectiles that exploded into tentacles, entangling the Beasts, and then bringing them to her enormous, morbid and aberrant fleshy body.
At this point, Kireina felt as if she was fishing for snacks.
The attacks from the Divine Beasts were rather strong, but she was able to counter them with her own, and if things got a bit out of hand…
"Ah, there's a big one there… Helios Blessing, Overpowering Helios," she muttered, as she activated the Skill Helios and generated five enormous spheres of burning lava and flames.
To Kireina's back, there was a large Dragon Zombie, with the size of almost two hundred meters that was attacking an area of her enormous body, needlessly trying to destroy her. It had the form of a wolf, but it was covered in draconic scales and large horns around its body, and it seemed decaying.
It used its sharp jaws to munch on Kireina's flesh while using its claws to break apart her defenses… but because Kireina was just an immense sea of flesh extended through dozens of kilometers all around the High Siren Nation, such damage seemed abysmal to her.
However, due to its size, she preferred to have it grilled.
The floating spheres of burning lava and blazing flames reached the Divine Beast, who managed to evade them in time while running around Kireina, trying to find a weak point in her… this Divine Beast seemed clever than the rest.
However, Kireina just willed it as the floating spheres of lava moved to their sides before crashing into the ground, following the Divine Beast as if they were tracking missiles.
Flash! Flash! Flash!
"GRAWL!"
The Divine Beast opened its wolf-like mouth, firing flames of corrosive and sickly green colors, which fell over Kireina's vast body and began to slowly melt her away.
"Not as strong as Megusan," she said, raising a giant tentacle, which she covered in the Calamity Abyss Demon Bones and Horns and then made it fell upon the Divine Beast at incredible speeds.
BOOM!
"RROOAAR…!"
Her tentacle dealt a large amount of damage, which immobilized the creature, giving just enough time for her to entangle it.
Flash!
"GRRYYAAA…!"
The spheres of lava reached the monster as it grilled it alive alongside Kireina's tentacle, which she did not mind, eating it alongside the creature.
"That should be it-"
However, just as Kireina was about to devour her grilled tentacle and Divine Beast, a Giant Zombie Snake appeared, emerging from the underground, and jumping towards her, it opened its gaping mouth, which expanded for over sixty meters and then revealed its retractable fangs, which it seeped deeply within her flesh, tearing apart a large chunk indiscriminately.
Crunch!
"Oh? That one seems to possess a Stealth Skill! I almost didn't see you coming" said Kireina with a fascinated tone to her voice. She had sensed the creature, but she just let it have a bite of her…
"Let's see… Deadly Blood Parasite!" said Kireina, activating one of her Spells and transforming the (still alive) piece of flesh that was eaten by the runaway Snake, the flesh inside its stomach changed into a vicious insect-like creature covered in flesh, which parasitized the Snake from its stomach, devouring its inner flesh and then carrying it back to Kireina.
In the meantime, as she did, the Snake cried in anger and confusion about what was currently happening to it, only to be ultimately be eaten by Kireina's expanding flesh, with each of her body areas working as a digestive stomach.
"It seems that that was the last one…" said Kireina, devouring the other Divine Beast, which she had grilled alive with her Helios, alongside the scrumptious tentacle of hers.
She moved her gigantic body, resembling a slime made out of flesh and covered in a myriad of grotesque body parts towards the inside of her domain, where she found the last Divine Beasts being slain by her family.
Yvnei, Goghesdum, and Odanth had worked together quite wonderfully, and had defeated three Divine Beasts through their hard work… though they seemed disgusted about the flesh and if they were even edible, to begin with.
"Mommy, we did it! RAINBOW KAISER EX defeated all evil!" said a giant covered in rainbow exoskeleton armor and colorful feathers, the Harpy Siblings and Nephiana inhabited the inside of this giant.
"I see! Good work, RAINBOW KAISER EX! Your duty as the justice bringer has never ceased to amaze me!" said Kireina with a warm smile in the thousands of mouths across her aberrancy.
"They're really energetic, chupiii…" said Nephiana.
"Mama, mama! We did it!" said the voice of Nirah, another giant appeared, which resembled a monstrous snake with the upper torso of a woman, however, it was all covered in a purple exoskeleton. Its tail ended in the head of a snake, alongside her arms and its head atop her torso, which was long and sleek. This was another of Kireina's Body Clones, inhabited by Nirah, Nesiphae, Yiksukesh, and Amiphossia, and her party.
"Little Nirah is very energetic as well, she was rampaging like a proud warrior, fufufu~ Her eyes sometimes even turn scarlet red, it was truly adorable…" said Nesiphae's voice.
"She's hard to handle!" said Amiphossia.
"It was fun! Now I'm hungry!" said Nirah.
"Alright, everyone, come back now," said Kireina, as each grotesque giant that was being inhabited by Kireina converged with her once again, merging back to her flesh.
Then, Kireina went back to her 'original' form as a Fairy, and opened a portal to her Inner Realm, where her family came out from.
"I-Its… over already?" asked Yvnei.
"Not yet, but we'll rest for now… I need to assess a few things in the meantime as well" said Kireina, glancing at the corpses of the fallen Divine Beasts.
