Epic of Caterpillar
chapter-769

Greed or Avarice, an uncontrolled longing for the increase of material gain, be it food, money, land, animate and inanimate possessions.

Even thing things such as social value, such as status, or power can be considered within the scope of Greed.

Every living being who has even the most primitive of intelligence possesses this sin.

Greed has been identified as undesirable throughout known human history because it creates behavior conflict between personal and social goals.

However, only those who had delved into it to the point of doing things that no one would, those that have changed both mentally and physically only to achieve their greedy goals… are the ones deserving of Greed.

Of the power of the Deadly Sin of Avarice.

The power to greedily take away the power from others!

Kireina was always someone greedy.

Since her previous life that she liked to collect merchandise from her favorite franchises, and even worked in a place she did not like only to get more money and buy more of such things.

And when she was thrown into this world, where she needed to survive as much as she could…

She used everything she could to do so!

And because she needed more and more power to cope with everything thrown at her, she needed to accumulate power as greedily as possible.

Committing atrocities just so she could gain more power, to delve into her greed.

And now that she had acquired this Sin, she was perhaps even greedier than the Sin itself, who did not want to accept her as she already had one Sin.

However, she simply and greedily devoured it.

Devouring a sin should be impossible.

But she managed to gorge it into her throat and digest it into her ethereal abyssal stomach.

Digested and suppressed, the Sin of Greed was forced to become her power, and sat down at the side of Lust, a Sin that it saw only once when they were created, and had never seen since then.

And now, the powers of Greed were hers to use, fusing them with lust, and many of her other divinities!

Kireina felt a rush of power like nothing else, as she quickly began to learn new skills and powers, and she was now able to employ Greed into her power!

Kinesis roared, glancing at Kireina greedily take away his prey, he fired large beams of Chaos towards her, which she evaded by darting away from the ground on her snake-like dragon form.

Flash!

BOOM!

"Tch! How dare you steal the food out of my mouth, Kireina?!" roared Kinesis, he had given for sure that he was finally going to devour Thanatos, the one that always looked down on him!

However, Kireina greedily stole it from him, he was now furious!

"Haha, how does it feel? You have already stolen plenty of food from me! Let's call it even, Kinesis!" laughed Kireina, distorting space and conjuring Void, Chaos, and Spatial Attribute Magic.

"Void Essence Gathering, Chaotic Void Spatial Earthquake!" roared Kireina, as she combined several spells within seconds through her Great Arcane Magic Skill and dozens of more Skills, as hundreds of magic circles emerged out of thin air, manipulating space as chaos, void, and space combined together into a powerful force, provoking earthquakes on space itself!

BOOM!

"UNNGHHOO…!"

Kinesis was taken by the powerful spatial earthquake, shaken by the enormous pressure of the Spatial Layers reforming back to normal, the same spatial layers that made up the entire existence!

"H-Her manipulation over space is outstanding…! And what is even Void Magic?! Has she discovered a new attribute in between Chaos and Space?! Grrr…! I cannot lose to her!" roared Kinesis, as he suddenly summoned gigantic seas of blood around him and shaped them as mountain-sized needles of crystalized blood covered on Divinity Devouring!

"Divine Technique: One Thousand Blood Needles!" roared Kinesis, releasing the powerful attack over Kireina, as she shapeshifted her body to evade the attacks and rush towards Kinesis!

"That's pathetic, do you call that Blood Magic?! This is Blood Magic!" roared Kireina, as she suddenly released a gigantic sea of blood, shaping it as thousands of snakes filled with sharp teeth, sending them towards Kinesis as they began to entangle him!

"GRRRUUUUOOOOHHH…!" roared Kinesis, as he unleashed a powerful barrage of Blood Needles everywhere, and then, a powerful explosion of Chaos!

BOOM!

"You're really an amateur at Chaos Attribute Magic as well… Chaos Queen Domain, World-Breaking Chaos Cannon!" roared Kireina, as her gigantic mouth opened, unleashed an enormous beam of chaos attribute magic, breaking through Kinesis barriers like nothing and leaving an enormous hole over his fleshy body, as the rest of his flesh and soul disintegrated!

However, right after, the flesh began to meld together like a paste, getting back together and complete healing in no time!

Even the damaged soul devoured itself until it was completely healthy!

"Does he has Uroboros?! Or has he figured it by himself just through Divinity Devouring?!" wondered Kireina, as she rushed back at Kinesis and unleashed dozens of arms towards him, each arm was metallic and possessed gigantic maws, tearing apart his flesh as Kinesis decided to retaliate similarly!

"Do you think you're the only one that can employ such tactics?! I haven't cultivated this power for thousands of years without learning a trick or two!" laughed Kinesis, as he quickly separated large chunks of his flesh, sending them towards Kireina as she unleashed the fury of Gungnir combined with the Wyvern Overlord!

"Gungnir!" roared Kireina, as The Wyvern Overlord roared!

"Here I go!" roared the Wyvern Overlord, flying through the air in the shape of an enormous and majestic golden spear, flashing through Kinesis flesh pieces and destroying them as they exploded around one by one!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

"That weapon… What is that?! Is that some kind of special artifact?! Damn it! I should have made one myself…!" roared Kinesis, as he unleashed a large mass of flesh filled with chaos and blood, which wrapped around Gungnir and exploded, blowing the spear into pieces!

BOOM!

"It destroyed so easily… I guess it wasn't something to worry about!" laughed Kinesis, as he glanced with horror as the spear pieces moved as if they were alive, sticking back together as one!

"On my Gungnir Form, I am Immortal!" laughed the Wyvern Overlord, although if he had his soul broken he would still die, however, physically speaking, he was virtually immortal!

"It can even talk?! GRAAAH!"

Kinesis roared in anger, as Gungnir moved at an outstanding speed, breaking through the speed of sound and impaling Kinesis countless times, which also included his very soul!

Kinesis tried many times to take it and destroy it, but it was all futile, as it was always regenerating!

Meanwhile, Kireina had suddenly disappeared, however, Kinesis realized this too late, as she appeared right before him!

"Grand Chaos and Void Absorption! Roaring Chaotic Apocalyptic Storm!"

Kireina unleashed powerful Spells that she had designed right at the moment by fusing several Magic types together with the help of all those she was fused with!

FLASH!

Suddenly, Kireina's maw began to absorb Kinesis Chaos like a typhoon, and even the Void within him, something that encompassed all creation was being absorbed from him!

"Nnngaaaahhh…! My soul is being drained out of Chaos?! Impossible! What kind of Spell is that?! And… I am feeling empty as well?! So this is Kireina's power…! I couldn't expect any less from you!" laughed Kinesis, feeling weakened yet talking as if he still had some ace below his sleeve!

"You're done for, not even try to struggle anymore! I am done with this!" roared Kireina, she already wanted to end this war, but the annoying Kinesis wouldn't give in!

Kireina quickly conjured more Chaos, Void, and Space Spells, which she merged with the attributes of her family, any other attribute seemed rather useless against Kinesis as he was able to wield Chaos Attribute as well, and negating their effects was child's play for him now!

Large beams of chaos, tornadoes of slicing chaotic winds, black chaotic thunder, nether storming freezing water, slicing void slashes, and many more spells were generated one after another by Kireina, as Kinesis was being slowly pushed to a corner!

However, Kinesis kept laughing, as he began to absorb all of this power, even if it was damaging his soul!

"What is he trying?! He cannot possibly think that he can win by simply eating my attacks, his soul is being shattered! He doesn't possess Devour either!" thought Kireina, as she suddenly realized what Kinesis was doing!

"GAHAHAH! TAKE IT ALL BACK!" laughed Kinesis, inflating like a balloon, and exploding into a loud, almost nuclear-level explosion!

BOOM!

Kireina's entire body was blown away, as any barrier she created through things such as Aegis was destroyed!

However, by manipulating Space and adding Void and Chaos alongside a coat of God Devouring, she managed to resist part of the damage, however, her soul felt quite weakened!

"This bustard can absorb attacks and release them into such an explosion… But he should also feel weakened after this…" thought Kireina, employing hundreds of Skills to heal her fused body and regenerating her soul by devouring itself!

Kireina coated herself on her Divine Aura, which was made by the combination of all the Auras of those fused to her, emanating an overwhelming power!

FLASH!

Kireina plummeted into the smoke, as she found Kinesis struggling and tired!

"I knew it!" thought Kireina, as Kinesis was surprised, beginning to scream!

"Y-You survived that?!" he asked stupidly, as Kireina used her Divine Aura, shaping it as millions of clones of herself, and shaping it as gigantic Cursed Claws!

"Myriad Chaotic Selves: Soul-Tearing Cursed Claws!" roared Kireina, filled with anger, she fused the techniques of Ryo into her repertoire, adding all the power from everyone else and shaping it with Chaos, Void, and Spatial Magic into something even greater and monstrously powerful!

"I am not going down!" roared Kinesis, inflating himself to regain so mass and withstand Kireina's attack, but realizing that it was too late, as he was being sliced into countless pieces already by her gigantic pink and crimson-colored claws made of countless of clones of herself formed from Divine Energy and Divine Aura!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

"GRRYYYAAAAHHH…! Y-YOU…! If it was not… because of you! I was about to… acquire the power I needed!" roared Kinesis, as he employed all of his Divinities and powers against Kireina, as constant explosions unfolded!

Psychokinesis Power, Chaotic Beams and Bullets, Blood Needles, Spears of Wind, Blasts of Mucus, and more!

However, Kireina seemed to be able to resist Kinesis Psychokinesis Waves as her mind was way too strong to be affected by them, and even if some could not be resister, she was able to destroy them by combining Chaos with her Telekinesis Skill and the Mind-related powers of Mady and Nanako!

Clash! Clash! Clash! Clash!

"Nnngaaaahhgghh… No… I have… achieved so long…! You can't possibly… kill me! I haven't done anything with this power yet, with all of this power…!" cried Kinesis, as Kireina sliced him constantly into pieces, and then distorting those pieces through Chaos, Void, and Spatial Magic, breaking them apart into pieces and then devouring the soul pieces!

Grinding into his flesh and soul, Kinesis was now in his last moments!

"Not… Not… enough! I have to do it! I will… do it!" roared Kinesis, as he delved into his own soul, using it as a jaw and then targeting a shiny jewel within!

"I will devour my own Divine Realm and my Divine Core if it means that I can get a chance!" roared Kinesis, as he devoured his Divine Core, where his Divine Realm was stored!

FLASH!

Kireina felt a sudden burst of power from within Kinesis, as the grotesque god charged it with all of his other powers, releasing a loud explosion and sending Kireina away, while also making sure to bite a good chunk of her soul in the process!

BOOM!

"Ungh…! This guy…!" roared Kireina, quickly patching her soul wound by fusing thousands of souls she stored in her Inner Realm: Soul World and enhancing her entire body once more, flying back towards Kinesis!

However, Kinesis was now surging with even greater strength, as his entire body kept expanding due to the enormous amount of power accumulated!

"I am not done yet…! It has barely started!" laughed Kinesis.
