Epic Of Caterpillar

Chapter 558 - [Fated Encounters: Nyzzetʼs Labyrinth Conquest] 20/?: Mother And Daughter Slime Duo!

-----

Begudhurʼs Parasite Soul Clone, the one that was possessing the body of the Lesser Thunder Dragon cried in agony as its entire torso was ripped apart from its body with one of Kireinaʼs ʼserious punchesʼ.

However, the agony and pain did not come from the deadly wound, as Begudhurʼs soul was capable of completely negating such senses of pain from its hosts, but the pain came from the Parasite Soul Clone itself…

This was because Kireina had lied about ʼjust doing a punchʼ, as she had coated her entire fist with her ʼGod Devourʼ Skill and devoured this Parasite Soul Clone as she punched it.

Because of Begudhurʼs main body being very far away from these Parasite Soul Clones, the pain and information gathered from this Parasite Soul Clone would take a few minutes to reach the pain body and alert it of what was happening, so even after causing such a commotion, the Real Begudhur hasnʼt even realized that a part of himself was already eaten.

Kireina devoured the Parasite Soul Clone with her fists, as she licked her lips as if savoring the flavors.

”It is really the split soul of a Demon Demigod… albeit a very weak one, but it is indeed unbelievably delicious. More delicious than the bitterness of Megusan and Geggoron… not as comparable to Apollo, but it still particularly good” she said.

As the system notified her about the acquisition of a small new Divinity Fragment, her family moved from within the portal that led to her Inner Realm: Soul World, appearing while the rest of Begudhurʼs Parasite Soul Clones were frozen after seeing the strongest of their group being mercilessly killed by having its torso literally punched out of its body.

”Impossible! How strong is that fairy?!”

”Her aura… thatʼs… thatʼs a Goddess!”

”What? But her physical body is that of a mortal!”

”Do you think that a mortal would be capable of shaping their own bodies like that?! Are you really one of us to be that stupid?!”

”How could a goddess enter this dungeon?! Wouldnʼt they weaken without having a Divine Realm to sustain themselves?!”

”We donʼt really know but- Eh?! Did she open her Divine Realm?! Many mortals are emerging from within, watch out!”

”If theyʼre mere mortals then there is no problem in defeating them!” roared the Parasite Soul Clone that was controlling the Giant Thunder Leviathan, a long snake-like fish monster covered in purple and golden scales, with the head of a sea snake dragon. It was capable of floating in midair and its body could extend over one hundred meters, it was truly a frightening monster, those only found on the lowest of floors!

”Pressurized Thunderstorm Downpour Cannon!” roared the Parasite Soul Clone Giant Thunder Leviathan, as it flew through the air with its gigantic body towards Kireinaʼs family, opening its jaws and generating a powerful cannon of pressurized thunder and water.

Flash!

”Mommy said that all of you were a Demigodʼs split souls! If we eat you, we might get stronger!” said Ailine who appeared in front of the Leviathanʼs attack, a little slime girl in front of the titanic beast of the depths of the dungeon.

Their sizes did not match and all and the Leviathan thought very little of her, even if she leaked a rather admirable aura, she was too small, his attack was enough to completely decimate her… or thatʼs what he thought.

Ailine floated still as she saw the cannon of pressurized thunder and water coming towards her with outstanding speed, an attack that could easily take down an entire city within seconds.

”Ah, this would surely be enough… I suppose” she chuckled, as various colors converged from within her surroundings.

Ailine ability to control the ʼcolorsʼ of the world gave her the power to replicate many attributes even without any previous affinity with them. This power, in good hands, such as her who had an immense mana pool and also a high Magic stat, could show its true potential.

”Red… Green, Yellow, Blue… hm, how about Purple, Dark, Pink, and… Brown!” said Ailine, chanting each color as she used her unique magic to draw upon their essence.

The colors converged in a bright and rainbow aura like any of the monsterʼs present have ever seen. The rainbow aura moved in a split second, shaping itself like a giant and beautiful shield, and then materializing.

Ailine pointed the shield with her index finger, smiling with her flawless and adorable face as her blonde hair gleamed lightly and her eyes shined with rainbow colors.

”Valhalla Shield!” she said, as the shield moved in front of the Leviathanʼs attack in less than a second, taking on the entire cannon of pressurized thunder and water.

BOOM!

”A mere magic shield wouldnʼt do anything against my Divine Energy charged attack!” laughed Begudhurʼs Parasite Soul Clone possessing the Thunder Leviathan… he had realized that the fairy, Kireina, was floating above them while glancing the fights, seemingly uninterested in them.

This was an opportunity for these Parasite Soul Clones to win against these weak mortals and then grow stronger by parasitizing them and then escape… the clones thought that Kireina was incredibly stupid by standing and glancing at them fight against her lackeys, the thought about her ʼlackeysʼ being as strong as she were nonexistent in their minds, as they didnʼt exude as much pressure from their auras as Kireina.

”Is that so?” said Ailine with a smile, as she was revealed to be unscathed and that the powerful cannon of pressurized thunder and water was easily stopped by her magic shield that covered dozens of meters… the attack was completely absorbed by the shield, which grew in size and strength.

”What…?! What kind of magic barrier is that?!” roared the Leviathan, feeling that he might have perhaps underestimated his opponent.

The Leviathan glanced at its back as it began to consider escaping like many of the other Clones were trying to do so but quickly realized that they were trapped in a different space, a domain made from Kireinaʼs vast and divine soul.

Each time they tried to use their powers to parasitize the walls of the domain to open a hole and escape, they would instead be devoured back and even parasitized back!

Many victims had already been eaten just by the walls alone, just what kind of eldritch horror was this creature that had the simple appearance of a fairy?

Kireinaʼs crimson eyes gleamed devilishly as she glanced from above the achievements of her daughter.

”Ailine, you already got him scared, well done! Attack before he tries to escape, donʼt let your prey go away, my daughter!” said Kireina with a gentle and motherly voice.

”PREY?! I am… this little child prey?! DONʼT MESS WITH ME! Thunderstorm Catastrophe! Chaotic Befalling Thunder! Thundering Oceans Domain! Pressurized Thunderstorm Cannon!” roared the Leviathan possessed by a Parasite Soul Clone of Begudhur, unleashing the strongest techniques that it had, as it realized that it couldnʼt run away, it decided to try and end Ailine immediately begore she showcased the same talents she used with her shield into an offensive spell.

”Okay mommy, I got it!” said Ailine, moving her colorful staff and channeling mana with it alongside her cute and colorful witch clothes. She summoned all the colors from before but converged them together differently this way.

Expanding her mana into a large domain, she materialized the colors into giant weapons of all shapes and sizes, without breaking any sweat, hundreds of materialized weapons made with magic appeared around her, all of them perfectly shaped as if Ailine had some kind of photographic memory capable of memorizing each shape of a weapon, materializing them into reality with her magic. The weapon was covered in the colors of the rainbow and was also covered in a strange new essence.

Kireina did not need to share her God Devour as Ailine already possessed the Divinity Devouring skill. But she still shared it with her daughter nonetheless, so her attacks could be more potent.

”Gu, gu, gu! Colorful Rain of Valhallaʼs Armory!” said Ailine, commanding her rain of rainbow-colored magic projectiles that flew at an outstanding speed, even faster than a bullet towards the Leviathan.

The Leviathanʼs attacks, which resembled cannons of thunder and water began to explode into magic dust as they hit Ailineʼs projectiles. Her attacks were charged with God Devour, while the Leviathanʼs attacks were charged with Divine Energy… it was clear who had the upper hand.

Begudhurʼs Parasite Soul Clone glanced with horror as he saw all of his attacks explode and dissipate when they hit Ailineʼs projectiles.

He desperately tried to evade, but his large body made it incredibly hard for him to move away from the range of Ailineʼs magic projectiles, which she directed with her will to fly and move around the sky like tracking missiles.

”Impossible! My attacks were all destroyed?! What kind of trickery is this?! What power can do that?!”

Begudhur, unlike Geggoron, was completely unaware that Kireina and her family had the ʼDivinity Devourʼ or the ʼGod Devourʼ skills, as he had been sealed a few days ago, and never contacted the Interdimensional Merchant Shop to buy information about the Realm of Vida as he was completely dead set in growing stronger from the get-go, without desiring to waste Divine Energy into producing Divine Energy Crystals to purchase information from anonymous gods regarding the important events that had transpired in the Realm of Vida, which included Kireina at its spotlight.

Although Begudhur fought many brave heroes who held the powers of the gods that blessed them, he had never fought against a power that was capable of completely negating another.

No… it was even more frightening.

From what he was understanding, the attacks of all the beings present including Kireina and even her own domain had the power to completely negate Divine Energy and then absorb it… something like that was a power that not even him, Begudhur, the Demon Demigod of Parasites, have ever thought possible!

”The main body needs to know about this power… at all costs!” roared the Leviathan as he tried to evade Ailineʼs attacks and escape from her chasing… but something came into his view as he flew.

Another beautiful slime girl, this one is older and more mature-looking, with a motherly and innocent appearance and a wonderfully dazzling aura appeared in front of his sight.

”Donʼt dare run from my daughter, guu! Let her hunt you!” said Rimuru, as she expanded her aura, which seemed even more frightening than Ailineʼs, and molded it into a large claw that punched the Leviathanʼs giant head as if she were slapping a fly.

SLAP!

”UNGGYYAA! M-My soul was devoured a bit?!”

The Leviathan was thrown to the ground, as he felt a chunk of his soul being completely eaten by Rimuruʼs Aura Claw attack.

”I have to escape, I have to escape!” thought the Parasite Soul Clone residing inside the Leviathan, as he felt the imminent charge of Ailine from above him, he filled his entire body with all of his Divine Energy and Mana and decided to fly like a bullet while trying to penetrate the domain barrier by force.

Flash!

However, he was too late by a second.

”Thanks, mommy! Now I got him!” said Ailine.

”Uh?!”

Flash! Flash! Flash! Flash!

Severe pain began to torment his mind as Ailineʼs numerous projectiles finally fell upon his gigantic body, each projectile seeping deeply into his flesh while slowly devouring his soul bit by bit, causing extreme pain, a pain that not even Begudhur when he was sealed ever felt.

”GGYAAAAAA! W-What is this…?! What is this pain?! Even my soul… it paralyzed by the sheer pain! Stop! Stoop! Nnngaaahh!”

Despite it pleads for mercy, Ailine glanced at it with an innocent smile, completely uninterested in an ʼevil godʼ that her motherʼs themselves told her to prey and eat if she wanted.

Although Ailine was a sweet girl that liked to make friends and take care of the citizens of the Empire, she had no empathy for those that opposed her family.

The Leviathanʼs body was quickly converted into swiss cheese in the span of a few seconds, while his soul was devoured by Ailine through her spells, which connected directly to her aura which connected to her soul.

Kireinaʼs God Devour had become incredibly flexible since it evolved, even letting her devour things from far away as long as any of her attacks reached the soul of the victim. This, of course, applies to those that wielded the power, like Ailine.

Unlike those that could not eat divinity, which would end up in the soul becoming a glass-like material and shattering into pieces, Ailine was capable of eating the divinity and the entire soul as she possessed Divinity Devouring, strengthening her soul with this bizarre Demon Demigodʼs Divinity.

”Hmmm! Delicious! It is really delicious, just as mommy said! And huh? Pseudo Demi Divinity of Parasites? So strange… I wonder how I can use it?” wondered Ailine, as she flew back with Kireina and Rimuru.
