Epic of Caterpillar
chapter-909

Himeros, the God of Desire, had died.

As the Gods discussed their next course of action, Kireina emerged in the same space as him through Teleportation and blasted his entire body with the mass of her own emerging in the same space.

One second after, she devoured his groaning and struggling Divine Soul by merely glaring at it.

To the Gods who were not able to see the invisible phantasmal jaws of Kireina's Domain, it was as if she had killed him with her mere glance as if Himeros' entire existence disappeared out of nowhere.

His last cry for help broke the heart of all the Gods, their spirits weakened, and their eyes sank into their sockets, despair took hold of the little light left within their eyes.

Pan was right, something was wrong… and in the end, it was all related to Kireina.

It was completely different to see Kireina take the life of a God in front of them than hearing about it.

It was often way too fantastical that people inherently thought that she couldn't possibly do such ridiculous things… but it was the truth, in front of their eyes, Kireina slaughtered someone so fast it could have been faster than the blink of their eyes.

"Noooooooo!!!" roared Pothos, the God of Sexual Longing, as he saw his beloved older brother die so horribly, he couldn't help but roar in pain and anger, rushing towards Kireina while covering himself on his Divine Aura, a fiery and passionate flame of purple and pink colors emerged around his body, as his fists rushed towards Kireina!

Kireina greeted him with a smile.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Pothos fists reached her body as her entire figure began to morph with each punch as if she was being blown into pieces!

But it was actually the opposite.

Photos glanced at Kireina's body inflating and exploding, as he smiled, he had one it!

Or so he thought.

Kireina's body was back to normal in a blink, and she was munching something within her mouth, which was dripping blood.

"Eh?"

Photos wondered what Kireina was even eating…

"You call those punches? They're so tender it is like eating chicken…" she sighed, swallowing what she ate.

And then pain took hold of Photos as he realized that his hands were gone, alongside most of his arms.

The moment he hit Kireina, her entire body devoured his fists and arms, everything within Kireina's body was a jaw, anything she touched could be consumed from any point, as long as she desired it.

"Hahh…! Hhhaaaahhh! DIEEEE! THIS IS FOR MY BROTHER!" roared Photos, as his Divine Soul suddenly began to glow brightly, the pink and purple flames began to blaze, as he flew towards Kireina like a blazing meteor!

"W-Wait…! PHOTOS! (He's trying to… use his very Divine Soul as a bomb and kill Kireina?!)" said Pan, as he tried to fly towards Kireina but felt like his body was paralyzed.

FLASH!

"How bold. So you're willing to sacrifice yourself to kill me… I suppose I underestimated you Gods. Due to that, I will give you the privilege of dying sliced in half by my spear," said Kireina, a split of a second after, a black spear emerged out of thin air in her left hand.

Waving her hand casually, a slash that distorted space and time rushed towards Photos blazing body and soul! The slash was faster than him! And it carried an innate chaos essence so horrifying it made everything around it twisted.

"W-What…?! Nnnggghhh…! NNNNGGAAAAAAAAAHHH…!"

SLASH!

The slash of chaos sliced cleanly through all of Photos, his entire being was split in half.

The distortion in space made by the slash of chaos created a small black hole, where Photos was absorbed within… leading to Kireina's Great Dimensional Stomach.

"NNGAAAAAAA…! HEEEEEELP!" cried Photos, as he was submerged into gastric acids, his sliced soul and body began to dissolve, and he disappeared.

Kireina licked the blood off her lips and glanced at the rest of the Gods… two down, but there were many left. And not even 10 seconds had gone by.

"Anyone else wants to come at me? No? Okay then, I will go on and take these easy meals…" she said, smiling maliciously as the Gods were so enraged by her acts of monstrosity and her shamelessness that some of them managed to free themselves from their paralysis and fear by coating themselves with their Divine Auras and generating thousands of Wills to fight against her pressure!

Deimos and Phobos suddenly unleashed their power, as a mass of darkness encompassing the fear and panic of all living beings shaped itself as a monstrous specter, the two gods rushed towards Kireina, unleashing beams of nightmarish fear against her!

"Ah, good one… But can it fight against your grandfather's thunder?" asked Kireina, enhancing her body with Zeus Divinity and her new Thunder Divinity, fusing it together and then unleashing the Thunder Attribute Source Skill, as her entire body was shrouded in pure lightning!

"GGRROOOAARRR!"

The monster made of fear and nightmares clashed against Kireina, as an explosion of black smoke ensued!

"No matter what tricks it uses, it won't be able to fight against her deepest fears!" laughed Deimos.

"Panic! Panic, and despair! This is what you deserve, you monster!" roared Phobos.

Deimos and Phobos' special Divine Technique could encompass anyone it caught into an endless nightmare where their deepest fears would emerge! Through this technique, these twins had defeated many Gods in the past, and they believed that it could even fight against the immense strength of Kireina, if they made it a battle of minds instead of pure strength, they were sure to win!

BOOOOOMMM!!!

However, a larger explosion happened, as Kireina wasn't even affected by the nightmares, and had just eaten them, while she unleashed her Thunder everywhere, shaking the sky and the ground alike!

"Wait… Didn't… she said something about our grandfather's… thunder?" asked Deimos.

"Divine Thunder Judgement!" roared Kireina, reaching Phobos and Deimos within a second through a flashing and thundering speed, as she clapped her wings and then…

CLASH!

An enormous thunderbolt fell over the two Gods, pulverizing them!

BOOOOM!!!

"UNNNGGRGRRYYYYAAAAHHHH…!"

"GGGGYYAAAAAAHHHH… FATHEEEEEEEEER…!"

The thunder completely consumed their bodies, and then their very Divine Souls, as Kireina devoured them through coupling the thunder with Monarch of Gluttony, as they vaporized, they were eaten by her instantly!

Everyone was left in shock! Kireina held the same immense thunder power as their grandfather Zeus!

But above all, another two of their siblings were gone already!

Kireina smiled back at the Gods as bright yellow lightning flashed all around her, as if it were a dress, her scarlet eyes began to brightly shine with golden colors as lighting came from them.

"Deimos…! Phobos…! Noo…! Everyone is dying…! NOOOOO!!!" Enyalius, the God of Battles rushed towards Kireina while roaring like a lion, while Kireina smiled at him.

"Let me tell you something! Anyone that is not prostrating to me, is my enemy! If any of you still hold some desire to live, give up your families and kneel before me!" she said, as Enyalius reached her!

"RAAAAAAHHH! Like hell I will prostrate to you, MONSTER!" roared Enyalius, his blazing and furious fists reached Kireina as his aura began to shape as countless arms, falling over Kireina's body!

However, Kireina simply transformed in lightning and evaded all attacks with incredible swiftness all while laughing maliciously at the attempt of the God to stop her!

The overwhelming divine aura of the God was nothing to her! She had fought Gods before, she had already struggled against them, but now… Gods were nothing but flies!

And like a fly… she waved her hand and slapped the God!

SLAP!

The enormous force generated by Kireina's slap, coupled with her Monarch of Gluttony and Zeus Divinity created an enormously powerful wave of energy, which or less resembled a beam that clashed against the God, his entire body exploding into pieces that very instant!

"UNNGRRAYYAAGHH…!"

SPLAT!

A second after, his soul was shattered into pieces and pulverized by the energy, while at the same time being consumed by Kireina!

Only five Gods were left, and not even a minute has gone by!

Kireina's might was tremendous, monstrous, even!

Her family was actually enjoying lunch now, so she decided to simply kill all these Gods in the meantime, she was simply casually doing this, like killing an annoying fly that got inside your room!

The Gods began understanding the utter insignificance that they were compared to her…

It was the same thing as a God trying to fight a Great God… it was utterly hopeless.

But Kireina wasn't even a Great Goddess either… yet, she was able to slap to death any being around her Realm…

"W-What kind of power… (This is bad! Everyone is dying… I can't bear to let anyone else die! The Teleportation Crystal… I have to use it! Quickly!)" thought Pan.

Pan gritted his teeth as he immediately began to act, he took away his Teleportation Jewel and grabbed his siblings, a second after, he disappeared!

But this was because Kireina let him.

As Pan, Palaestra, Agreus, Nomios, and Nike traveled through the Spatial Layers panicked, they began to pant in relief, as if they were holding their own breath.

"Hahh… It was so close… So many… So many died…" cried Palaestra.

"Brother… this is bad! What are we going to do now?!" asked Agreus.

"Kireina's strength is… completely on another level! Is she some kind of Great Goddess?! What can we even do against her?!" asked Nomios.

"Her power… is way too much. She has surpassed the Realm of Gods without even becoming a Great Goddess yet! What kind of… monstrous level of power does she possess? This is utterly ridiculous…" sighed Nike.

"What can we even do than run away?!" asked Agreus.

"Let's go back to our father's Divine Realm, we must look for shelter! This whole thing is over- Eh?"

Suddenly, Pan realized something very crucial which he had not realized before.

Something very obvious that he and the other Gods just realized.

They had completely forgotten about it due to their despair, but when they began to travel through the spatial layers by the effects of Teleportation, which in simple terms was a Spell that let someone travel through spatial layers at an incredibly fast speed towards a certain direction, they realized that they were in fact… not moving.

They had begun to move through them, but they suddenly came to a stop.

They were stuck in the spatial layers.

"Wait… What is going on?! Why is the Teleportation Jewel not working?!" asked Palaestra, as she took out hers and it didn't work either.

Suddenly, the cracking laughter of a mischievous fairy resonated around the despairing Gods!

"Hahahaha! Did you really think that you could run away through Spatial means before me? A Master of Space and the Void?" she asked, as the space around the Gods began to twist and warp, they were suddenly trapped inside a Pocket Dimension!

"This… It was a trap!" cried, Pan.

"She let us go to trap us in here?!" asked Palaestra.

"Oh? You're quite the sharp woman. Of course! Why would I let go of such nutritious meals? I need your power to advance even further, so perish already! I got lunch to have with my family! Void-Devouring Black Hole!" roared Kireina.

Kireina who had trapped everyone inside the Spatial Cage Ability which she enhanced with the use of Divine Spatial Magic from the same Space and Void Path Jewel where Spatial Prison and Void-Devouring Black Hole came from, began to conjure a large black hole right in the middle of the group, desiring to consume them right on the spot through it!

She began to use Monarch of Gluttony to absorb the Gods Souls and Lives, and even their Primordial Essence!

However, Pan and everyone, as they struggled and gritted their teeth began to resist the Black Hole, unleashing their colorful auras and fighting against it ad the spatial prison, slowly cracking it!

"We are not going to dieeeeee!" roared Pan, as Kireina suddenly recognized in the man and everyone around him, as their Fate Threads were shining with brilliance, an external force was giving them a lot of Luck!

"Hoh? Lucky, aren't you? The power of fate is with yours… Too bad I can even eat Fate now! Greed! Fate! Combine! Fate Plunder!" laughed Kireina, as she combined her Sin of Greed, or Avaritia as it was named now, and fused it with her ability to control threads of fate and to steal fate through her Title of "the one that steals fate itself"!

"GUUOOOOOOOHHH…!"

As Pan was filled with an immense amount of Luck by an external source, he was suddenly drained out of it in an instant, and so did everyone else!

Kireina started to plunder their Fate Stat, which she didn't before because she was going to get it anyway when she was to finally eat them.

But now that she did, Pan and everyone else around him felt a sudden change in the threads of fate, as if they were being drained from all of their lustrous brilliance!

"W-What is this power?! You can manipulate and… steal FATE?!" asked Pan.

"My Fate Stat… it's decreasing! It is almost zero!" cried Nike.

"What did I told you? Now, time to go take a nap for eternity~" said Kireina, as her Black Hole grew in size, consuming all the Gods around it and crushing them through an enormous pressure!
