Epic of Caterpillar
chapter-746

"Divine Battle Arts: Myriad Self!" roared Ryo, as his entire Divine Aura emerged from his body, shaping itself as literally thousands of his own copies, raising materialized weapons made of the Divine Aura or their own fists and legs, clashing against the entire beast as if Ryo were just an army of over a thousand in one single man!

BOOM!

Due to the amount of power charged into his attack, it was as if an enormous explosion unfolded, but this sound was just the combined impacts of all of his clones within his Divine Aura!

Their attacks were small alone, but together, they became an enormous and overwhelming force, making the beast step back several kilometers, as its entire body was shrouded in pain!

The beast roared, trying to fight back as it could barely move over the enormous binding force of Ryo's Divine Battle Art, which he had created after creating new techniques one after another and fusing them together several times, in a similar fashion than his own mother.

This Divine Battle Art, however, used Ryo's Divine Energy, and its power was so strong due to this alongside the thousands of Skills that were used to create it!

However, Ryo did not only had one single Divine Battle Art!

"There is more where that came from! Divine Battle Arts: Myriad Self: Spear Form!" roared Ryo, shaping the thousands of Divine Aura Clones into an enormous spear, the size of an entire mountain!

"GGRRAAH…!"

Even the beast, who was monstrous, relentless, and grotesque, who only followed destructive instincts was left in disbelief and shock!

The enormous divine spear made of thousands of Ryo's clones clashed against the beasts entire body, penetrating its entire body and then, aiming at the red-colored jewel on its center, breaking it apart, as all the Divine Energy it was gathering was quickly eaten by Ryo's Divinity Devouring within seconds!

"Now, explode!" roared Ryo, clenching his fists as the spear suddenly began to tremble, detonating into an enormous and loud explosion, making the entire beast cry in agony!

"GRRRYAAAAAHHH…!"

BOOM!

The enormous explosion literally shacked the earth, as the gigantic beast flashed with bright gold and red light, exploding into pieces!

Ryo might surprise her siblings, whose admiration towards him increased greatly, even more than before!

"Hey, he just stole the entire spotlight!" complained Amiphossia while pouting.

Neuron who watched at the scene from extremely far away was trembling!

Such might… was Ryo even a Mortal?!

Neuron could not believe that this four-armed young man was not a god, his prowess was clearly of cataclysmic levels!

"The test subject… was destroyed into pieces?! Ah! But it still… alive! Good! Then it will still be useful!" laughed Neuron, using the artifacts given to him by his Master, Kinesis, and grabbing several elephant-sized pieces of the flesh of the beast, which were still alive and even had a strong split soul within…

"This should be enough to please Kinesis-sama!" said Neuron, grabbing a dark, blue-colored jewel and quickly disappearing from the battlefield.

Ryo quickly glanced in the direction where Neuron once was, noticing the change within the Spatial Layers that his mother had taught him about alongside his siblings…

"Someone escaped through some type of Teleportation Spell…" he muttered, using his senses to look for the entity but failing to do so.

Ryo decided to join his siblings as he showered with praises.

"Ryo nii-sama, that was amazing! You didn't even use a mech bodysuit?!" asked Vudia.

"Indeed, it was amazing!" said Ailine.

"None of us were able to deal as much damage… Indeed, Ryo has mastered his powers to an even greater level!" said the combined Harpy Siblings.

"I have barely grasped this power I have reached, so I have to train a lot, I am still not even comparable to mother," said Ryo.

"Aw look at him, being all modest, fufu," laughed Amiphossia.

"Phew… Man, I almost died there… Thanks, everyone," said Valentia.

"Nee-sama, don't be so reckless again!" cried Aarae.

"But I really went all out there! It was still awesome! Although it really hurt when my whole lower half was torn apart," laughed Valentia, as her siblings all looked at her with angered expressions.

"A-Ah, okay, okay! Sorry!" she said.

"Well, now we should go aid Wall and the rest to defeat-"

Before Amiphossia could finish her sentence, the roars of many beasts resonated through the battlefield!

The enormous pieces of flesh of the beast began to come back to life, crawling around the battlefield and roaring viciously!

"Wha- It still not dead?!" asked Ryo in surprise, he was sure that the thing died!

However, even after he broke apart the monster's flesh and soul, the soul was still so strong that it even managed to exist multiple times as soul fragments, in a similar fashion to some Gods such as Megusan or Geggoron!

The pieces of flesh slowly began to grow bigger, eating each other or any corpse or soldier around, and because they were thousands of them, there was a big feast for them to regain their power!

The siblings quickly got out of their carefree mood as they readied their weapons and Divine Auras!

"Let's wreck that thing for good!" said Vudia angrily.

"Indeed, now that it is separated, it might be easier to kill it one by one! Target the soul and eat it!" said Amiphossia.

"All right, everyone, let's go!" said Ryo, leading his siblings as they all separated in groups and flew towards the moving pieces of flesh!

The Harpy Siblings combined mech flew through the skies with its shiny multicolored feathered wings flapping them and releasing countless feathers projectiles that exploded around the battlefield, and then, it descended, raising its rainbow spears and blades, and impaling the dozens of flesh pieces around itself.

"This is for what you did to Valentia-nee-sama!!! Soul Eating, Divinity Devouring!" it roared, activating the power into the weakened versions of the beasts, now with their defenses and powers lowered, they were able to break through their strength and directly eat the fragmented souls inside of every flesh piece.

"Grrrryaaaaaaahhhh…!"

"GRRRROOOOOWL…!"

"Ggggrrruuooohhhhh…!"

As if they were pieces of glass, the fragmented souls of the monsters broke into pieces, as the titanic mechanical harpy grabbed them with its enormous golden beak, eating them and strengthening itself!

"Ooh, it brings a lot of power!" it said, as it continued its onslaught.

"Divine Phantasmal Magic: Ghostly Parade!" said Amiphossia, shaping the thousands of ghosts, specters, Yokai, and other ethereal beings into a single wave of power, molding it as an enormous parade of ghosts, roaring and attacking the monster's fragments, and beginning to suck their fragmented souls out like noodles!

The soul fragments flew towards Amiphossia's mouth, as she licked her lips every time she ate some.

Her servants and Evan were also fighting in a group, immobilizing the masses of flesh for Amiphossia to suck off the fragmented souls inside of them.

"This is round two! Gahahaha! It feels nice to crush you like an ant now that you're so weakened!" laughed Valentia, generating gigantic boulders of black iron, and crushing the pieces of crawling flesh and eyes, and eating their souls like snacks!

"Grrryyyyoooohhh…!"

"Everyone, time to hunt!" said Aarae, raising his staff and commanding hundreds of sharks made with his Divine Aura, who began to prey into the pieces of flesh and their souls by using Aarae's Soul Eating and Divinity Devouring, and directly giving him the meals into his soul!

"Graaaaaaaahhh…!"

The beast's flesh pieces released horrible shrieks as they were eaten one by one by the twins!

Although they were rather strong, when the beast was cut into countless pieces, its power was divided as well, making each piece not even strong enough to put a fight anymore, and being easily eaten.

The tables had turned a lot now that Ryo fragmented the creature into pieces!

"Time to eat…!" roared Marduk.

"Hm, I was getting quite hungry already! Awwooooo!" said Nammu.

"Delicious! These soul fragments are truly quite delicious, gishi!" said Nanshe.

The Scylla triplets combined their powers into their fused mech, unleashing a storm of poisonous and corrosive purple flames, poisoning, and melting away the monster's fragments, and eating their souls with their gigantic metallic heads of wolves, dragons, and snakes!

"Time for some lunch before continuing this war!" said Ailine, using her powers through El Dorado and generating countless blades made of spiritual colorful lights of many elements, impaling the beast's fragments, and devouring their soul's pieces right after attacking them!

"Zap Cannon! Zap Cannon!" roared Vudia, infusing her Divine Aura into El Dorado and releasing cannons of lighting one after another, electrifying the monster flesh pieces and sucking off their soul fragments one by one!

"Let's go, Nirah!" said Belle.

"Yeah, time for revenge!" said Nirah.

Belle and Nirah had finally fully recovered, as they joined this battle by fusing their mechs and unleashing their combined techniques and magic!

The titanic mechanical giant that resembled a beautiful and dazzling lamia lady with a purple snake tail and long golden and black hair combined both the light and darkness of Belle and the corrosive poison of Nirah, generating rays of purple light that both burned and poisoned the monster's pieces, almost disintegrating them in the spot!

Their souls were promptly eaten by Belle and Nirah, as the mischievous little girls nourished their souls with them.

"There is a lot of meat here, fufu!" laughed Habitis, roaring as she leaped into an enormous piece of crawling flesh covered in eyes and small jaws, her gigantic fangs seeped into it and torn apart the flesh-devouring it and absorbing its power, as she quickly ate the struggling monster alive alongside its soul within seconds!

"Shadow Wolf Pack!" roared Ophois, using his Shadow Divine Aura and shaping it as countless wolves similar to him, as they all hunted together the pieces of the monster, eating it all alongside its soul, tearing it apart mercilessly!

"Lion Queen's Great Claws!" roared Maahes, using the several techniques inherited from the original people that made her soul, and combining them all with her new powers, refining such techniques as she transformed her Divine Aura into giant lions that raised their golden claws against the beast's parts, slashing them for her to devour them quickly!

All across the battlefield, there was an enormous feast going on!

The beast agonized as it was eaten many times by many people through its many new bodies, some tried to escape but were quickly captured and eaten, while others tried to fight back only to be eaten even faster than the ones trying to escape!

Some beasts tried to put some resistance by merging into a more gigantic monster, but failing miserably to reach a sizable power to confront the children of Kireina, as Ryo was there to stop it on its track, using his powerful Myriad Self Divine Battle Arts, he created enormous weapons and fists made with his Divine Aura Clones, crushing any attempt of the beast to make a comeback!

At this point, most of the Demon Armies were all crushed, if it was not by Kireina's children, it was by these beast's body parts that tried to devour the soldiers to regain some power, but ultimately dying anyways by the vicious children.

As the last pieces of this beast were chased and eaten entirely, from flesh to soul, Kinesis glanced inside of his Divine Realm, as Neuron appeared in there out of nowhere through the use of the special Teleport Jewel he had, which immediately cracked into pieces as it was a one-use-only item.

"My lord, I have brought the successful specimen! It still alive and struggling to escape! Even after being torn apart so much, it still powerful and energetic!" said Neuron, opening his monstrous storage-like soul and releasing a dozen of the beast's flesh pieces, which began to run around Kinesis' grotesque Divine Realm, immediately targeting small and weak Divine Beasts!

"Impressive, and so vicious! This Appetite is what I am looking for! This means that they had truly made a metamorphosis… the same metamorphosis that those like Zudig had done… Even more than the ingredients for these beasts were the flesh and souls of two Demon Generals, equivalents to Heroes! Let them eat all these Divine Beats, it is clear now that they had already learned Divinity Devouring! Whenever they are nurtured enough, I shall take over them as my new true vessels, and overtake Thanatos!" laughed Kinesis, within the shadows of Thanatos Divine Realm.

"I cannot wait for your plan to be fulfilled, Master! My tentacles are wiggling in excitement!" laughed Neuron, a fervent fanatic and believer of Kinesis!
