Epic of Caterpillar

After having a quick lunch, I left my wives on the training grounds instructing the Demi-Humans and Royal Knights on different fighting styles. Each of my wives is a strong specialist, ideal to instruct such a varied amount of people with different classes and skills.

I flew around town inspecting the expansion. When we left towards the Water Shrine Dungeon, I left a big amount of Undead Giant Warriors as workers, it seems that their strength was beneficial. As the expansion has speeded up quite a lot. In these three days, the town has expanded 40% more, and not just paved floors and houses, there is even a park, countless factories, and workshops. The walls also were reinforced once again and became sturdier and bigger.

The Giant Undead Guards that I left to guard the town had worked diligently and even leveled multiple times. They always have work because there is always some non-intelligent monster that wants to have an easy meal with the weak townsfolk that only dedicate themselves to crafting or cooking jobs.

I also noticed that there have been some very shady places built in that I didn't remember before, well, not shady on the meaning of a criminal organization. Shady because I don't remember my town having brothels!

I inspected this place and I was welcomed by a beautiful Hobgoblin woman; she had a beautiful body with a nice pair of breasts. Her hips were rather wide and she had long black hair and an enchanting smile.

"My my… Who we have he- Eh?! E-E-Empress?! Uuuaaahh! G-Girls! Come here! The Empress has come to visit us!"

Suddenly, several women from all races came rushing to the entrance.

"Eeeh? It's really the Empress!"

"She is so beautiful!"

"Empress!"

"We don't deserve her visit!"

"Does she want to stay with us?"

"Really? I can't wait!"

Hobgoblin, Trolls, Onis, Arachnes, and even Wolves began to jump over me.

"T-There are wolves too?! W-Wait! I just came to inspect things! Don't get ahead of yourselves!"

After I managed to move away from the thirsty girls, they realized their mistake and kneeled begging for forgiveness.

"Sigh… There is nothing to apologize… Since when did you open this place?"

According to the Hobgoblin woman, she opened this place five days ago… I seriously need to inspect my own town from time to time.

I just wanted to inspect their authenticity so I quickly left. There were two more Brothels that I checked in; they were all full of beautiful girls, and handsome men too, for all tastes.

Now that I think about it, Brothels aren't a bad thing at all. These places will just make everyone happier around town. The tired men and women will be able to relax here and have as much sex as they want. Feeling refreshed the next day. I actually supported these places and even donated some funds to them; I will tell the Rin Sisters to do the same.

I'm not funding them because I am a pervert…

After checking everything, I decided to improve the walls around the town by myself, so I spent half of the rest of the day reinforcing them with countless shield spells and [Magic Solidification]. I also used my [Thunder, Water, Heat and Earth Natural Manipulation] to reinforce the foundation of the walls, it was quite complicated to control the elements with my mind, but it was a good practice.

I also began preparations for the two roads I will be making in the next days. One will be going towards the Lava Hot Springs and another towards the Bloody Sacrifice Dungeon.

Although most people here have baths, only the castle possesses warm baths. So, a hot spring that everyone has easy access to after walking some minutes will be very welcomed, and it will be a nice pillar on the town economy.

I also need to start making rules for the Bloody Sacrifice Dungeon exploration. It will be mostly for my Battle Capable servants to train in, but I also want them to not just get EXP, but keep some of the Magic Cores they obtain. I will have to make it so they can keep around 30% or so. Its better than nothing at all. They can easily sell these for some nice money.

The big influx of Magic Cores will also quickly increase our magic technology knowledge. We will be able to create countless objects with them and even make stronger equipment in general. Even Magic Core stores will slowly appear around, giving easy access to the Non-Combatant folk.

Using these miraculous stones will be extremely convenient for factories to easily increase the speed of manufactured items.

After taking care of the inspection of my town growth, I went to the forest of a safe clearing and began to create different kinds of Minions. I played around with the shapes and combinations. I made some who were purely flesh, while others were flesh and bones or just slime.

But I quickly realized that the strongest ones were the ones that combined the three elements. Made of combined flesh and slime, while having sturdy bones. These bones would also be half slime, being able to easily shapeshift and enter even the most stretch of places.

After drinking several [High MP Potions] and assimilating big amounts of meat, I was finally satisfied with my creations. I ended up making more than 50 minions. Each one would have a different job.

These minions could shapeshift on whatever form they wanted and even fly, but for now, these minions were taking the form of small Slimes and Bats. However, their bodies could expand and resemble a humanoid at any time. I ended up implanting a [Undead Giant Soul Core] on each one, giving them a small soul, quickly boosting their intelligence.

My new minions were incredibly intelligent and were about as smart as my split minds, but without the annoying personalities, and can even share most of my skills, boosting their recognizance. And using [Mental Order] they will be able to communicate with me instantly from very far away. Well, they also can use the System Direct Message.

Having everything settled, I sent them off. Around 20 will stay around the entire forest and communicate with me about any possible danger or incoming humans. So, I can easily intercept them and enslave them. I really want to enslave a ton of humans and then sent them as spies inside the Kingdom, they could even pull some strings for me.

I sent the rest of my minions towards Orange Town and the Athetosea Kingdom, they will slip around as stealthily slimes and appraise everything on their sight. And quickly send me the information through [Mental Order].

"Phew… Now my other project… I hope I have enough MP Potions… Well, my MP regenerates pretty quickly now"

My next project was creating countless slimes into one using [Slime Combination]. I had this idea some days ago, and now I can finally put it in place.

I quickly began to summon Slimes from all sizes and colors, there were Cube Slimes, Alchemy Slimes, Undead Slimes, Sage Slimes, Toxic Slimes, Ice Slimes, Demonic Being Slimes, etc.

As time passed, more and more slimes accumulated over the forest hill, to the point that they were all over each other on a big multi-colored pile of jelly.

In the end, I used all my MP Potions and the result was 114 slimes. But I still thought that it wasn't enough… To create the ultimate slime… I need more!

I decided to wait some hours until the sun began to fall through the horizon, using this recovered MP, I summoned 54 more Slimes. This will suffice… for now.

I really didn't want to stay the whole night outside so I quickly started to fuse slimes with the assist of my tentacles and Arms of Demise.

Blob!

Blob!

Blob, Blob!

When the Slimes were forcefully combined using [Slime Combination], they would produce this sound, as a new race of slime will be created. There were Undead Ice Sage Slimes, Sweet Toxic Fragrance Slimes, Cubic Explosive Demon Slimes, etc.

So many races that I've never seen before were being born right in front of me. After combining more than 60 Slimes, a new slime appeared, it shined brightly on a rainbow color, with hints of a dark aura and a powerful pressure. It was named [Superior Overlord Slime].

"An Overlord?!"

Of course, it wasn't that strong, it was the name of the race.

Using this new slime as a base, I swiftly combined the remaining slimes… Until only, a powerful and intimidating mass of slime was left.

Its size was incredibly massive, this thing could be easily be seen from the town, and even outside the Grand Forest. It was around the size of a 40-floor building.

Its watery body resembled a sea made of an infinite amount of colors, as the light of the moon shined on its body, its colors began to sparkle even more.

"Guuuubooo…!"

"Guubo? Alright, I'll name you Guubo!"

"Guuuuuuuubooooo…!"

BOING

BOOOM!

BOOOM!

BOOOM!

Guubo began to jump out of happiness, creating immense earthquakes around the entire Forest.

"W-Wait! Stop! Guubo, stop!"

"Guuubooo…?"

As Guubo stopped jumping, the earthquakes finally settled down.

Guubo's race was named [Tyrannical Overlord Slime of Destruction] … Quite the name… I also got a title because I created this new race of Slime.

[Slime Creator]

[Sacred Beast Owner]

While observing the size of Guubo and thinking on which ways I could use him, I remembered the Enhancing Radishes I obtained on the dungeon. So, I quickly took them outside of my Item Box and feed them to Guubo.

Guubo liked them a lot, as it dissolved them in less than a second.

Suddenly, Guubo began to shine on a bright rainbow light.

[Guubo is beginning to evolve!]

FLASH!

When the light that illuminated the whole night slowly dissipated, Buugo became way more colorful and had two big demonic horns on the top of its body, alongside a big crown made of gold and decorated with beautiful gems.

"Aaaaaahhh! Maaaaasssteeeeerrr…! I… Haaaaaveeee Eeevvvooolveeeeed…!"

"You can talk, Guubo?"

"Yeeeeeeessss… Itttsss… Aaaaall Thaaaaankss toooooo Maaaaaaaasssteeeeerrr…!"

"You talk extremely slow… Anyways, Appraisal!"

Ding!

"Eeh?! Sacred Beast?!"

I couldn't believe that fusing so many Slimes would bring such a thing to live, but I think that the thing that made him evolve like this was probably the two Enhancing Radishes.

It seems that according to the system, a Sacred Beast is a unique existence and that only one of each race can exist. This means I won't be able to replicate this and make another Guubo, sadly.

However, just with this big boy, I'm happy. Guubo is incredibly strong, he's as strong as me, easily surpassing the Nether Hellish Worm boss. Its skills are also very powerful and he seems to be some kind of powerful mega tank, oriented on healing. But with his sheer size alone, he can just crush most things anyways.

I granted Guubo with [Levitate] and brought him with me to the town.

When we reached my Kingdom, everyone began to freak out as they thought that Guubo was their demise. Even my wives and strongest warriors quickly tried to fight Guubo, thankfully I stopped them in time.

"A Sacred Beast? Master can really do anything!"

"So, this is our Sacred Beast Protector?"

"He's so big! He will surely protect all of us!"

Rimuru saw Guubo as her little brother, and she played around with him, but in the sky, so Guubo wouldn't just demolish the entire Kingdom with his jumps.

I discovered that Guubo shared my blessing and was able to obtain skills from the monsters he devours, so I saw this as an opportunity for him to grow stronger. After having a big feast, I commanded Guubo to explore the forest and eat every new monsters that it found, but to not go overboard, he also can't eat my servants. Thankfully, he can easily recognize them through the System, as his skill [Sacred Beast Instinct] tells him who is serving his Master. He will gain some levels and get back even stronger.

With my new minions and Guubo protecting the forest from now on, I felt way safer. In the middle of the feast, I also ate most of the Human meat that my servants gave me, and I obtained some interesting Skills.

I also made sure to assimilate some pieces of human meat too.

"Hmm? [Male Human Psyche]? But I'm a female… W-Wait… Activate Assimilation Skill: [Male Human Psyche]!"

Just as I activated this weird skill, certain areas of my body began to change. I feel as my breasts slowly were absorbed by my chest, completely disappearing. My hips became a little bit thinner and something between my legs slowly grew.

I coudn't believe it. It was my old friend, the one I left back on Earth.
