Epic Of Caterpillar

-----

Across the skies of the central continent, the big war between gods continued. Several figures across the heavens glanced as fights of legendary proportions ensued one after another, big figures of this generation of gods giving up their lives to fight with everything they had to defend their homeland, while the invaders who furiously rushed through the challenge to reclaim this realm as theirs and bring peace at long last fought bravely against them.

This was the Holy War, the fight between the Heroes and the Realm Menace of Lust, but amplified to godly levels!

When she was reborn as a Caterpillar Kireina would have never imagined that she would ever wage war against Gods such as this one, this was completely unthinkable for her, yet it was happening, right here and right now.

After a series of events that led to her insane growth and other things, she continued to forge a path towards victory and a better place, never thinking that no matter how hard she tried, she would never find true peace nor safety for those she loved, as the challenges continued to emerge one after another without stopping… In the end, when she realized the truth about a world that would never stop trying to kill her no matter what she did, she began to resolve herself into killing... everyone else and gains power over everything.

And then, she would finally have peace as she could become someone that could do as she pleased while those she loved would be given peace and calm lives.

However, even then, it wasn't the truth, she learned about the truth of her mother, the true enemies outside of the whole Universe, the Primordial Deities, and more…

Even when she was to be finished in this world, there would be an immense universe waiting for her outside, and the duty of saving her mother.

With this in mind, compared to the grand scheme of things, all of this was nothing!

Kireina had told this to her army, she had told that they would need to fight countless more times after this incredibly difficult and long battle, and here they were, unfaltering, without any doubt within their eyes, blazing with mighty conviction and resolve!

The central continent was now not just an ending to their story, but another step towards a turbulent future, towards a greater and faraway goal!

But steadily and unfaltering, her army and Kireina herself were slowly rushing through it all! Their resolve blazed brighter and burned even more than any other will in this world, they were unified into a single task like no one else, and Kireina would not give up until making it possible!

This was without a doubt a dangerous quest, one that involved going against the most powerful of beings in the world, no, the universes!

But now, they were crossing through one of such challenges, the biggest one that had emerged since their journey began. They clearly could not falter!

Bazael, the Beast God of Cranes glanced at the war while squinting his eyes.

His army of crane-kin fought bravely, using their light powers and amazing weaponry to break through the challenges without faltering nor anything of the sort! Their might was undoubtedly and powerful, and their gracefulness and majestic appearances made them into deceiving warriors across the battlefield!

Bazael himself joined his kin as they fought against the threats ahead of their path, there was no stopping their might, nor their flashiness and gracefulness in battle! They were cranes for a reason, and that wasn't just to say they were a beast that would seem fragile, but due to their amazing speed and precision at fighting. Their graceful figures rushed through the war without stopping for a second, resembling beautiful paladins and Valkyries of justice!

The gods glanced at the scenes with eyes wide open in surprise, the detestable cranes were mighty warriors, they had to admit it! After all, such might was what brought them to be so recognized in the central continent!

Bazael raised his holy blade, continuously attacking his foes with utmost might, the one that could end entire armies, his flashing light destroyed the powerful armies before him as the devastating damage left countless lives pending in a thread, while many others had been annihilated already.

Much like Venettia, Bazael's power was surprisingly high, but this wasn't just because he was him, but because he had forged his power a lot, and had reached the Great God realm as well!

However, Bazael's charge quickly came to an end as his two siblings came to visit him.

It was Marnet and Morpheus, whose auras leaked the power of a Great God already! Their flashing emerald-colored eyes reached up to Bazael, as he and his mighty army stopped their never-ending charge, glaring at the two.

However, unlike Venettia who had the desire to "save" her siblings, Bazael only harbored rage against them.

"You traitors had finally decided to come at me and fight, it seems. That's certainly good news, so I can finally kill you two once and for all, and end this farce. Unlike my sister, I am not as soft, and I don't even care about your lives, the fastest you two die, the better!" said Bazael, although he surprised Marnet and Morpheus a bit, his two siblings couldn't help but smile on their handsome faces.

"Hmph, indeed, it will be faster to leave feelings aside, Bazael," said Marnet.

"You are very different compared to us, you had a different life, and were raised differently as well. It's completely understandable if you don't understand us, and it is also understandable that we don't understand your insanity either," said Morpheus.

Bazael smiled with his handsome face, as he nodded.

"Good then!" he said as his children obeyed his hand commands, all of them turning into bright light and fusing into tattoos over his body in an instant!

"I am ready!"

FLAAAASH!

Bazael didn't think a second more as he rushed with extreme bloodthirst towards his siblings, his entire body radiating with divine power as his Totems activated, fusing with him, and enhancing all of his stats to ridiculous levels!

His rapier raised high into the skies as he released several slashing attacks with his blade, in mere instants he began to fill the vision of Marnet and Morpheus with flashing slashes of light!

"This guy is nuts!" laughed Marnet, as he rushed towards Bazael while unleashing his aura, several dogs emerged behind him similar to Maeralya's techniques, as they roared monstrously, and infused themselves into Marnet's body, enhancing his stats and also giving him amazing elemental damage.

"RRROOOOOOAAAAARRR!"

The furious beasts fell over Bazael as he released countless slashes with his blades, so many that Marnet could barely perceive them!

"Just how fast is This bastard?!" thought Marnet, as his beasts were easily blocking the crane-kin's attacks, however, but not for long!

SLASH!

The dog beast was suddenly sliced apart one by one within seconds! Marnet was left speechless!

However!

Morpheus galloped near his sibling as he conjured his aura, forming a giant made of aura!

"This is the technique that my descendants taught to me… I've made it into Path Jewels, now let's see how far they can go!" thought Morpheus, rushing towards Bazael into a giant made of aura resembling a furious horse covered in bright light.

FLAAAASH!

SLASSH!

CLASH!

The powerful attacks reached Bazael as the giant made of aura had considerable power, Bazael gritted his teeth as his slashing attacks were actually not working as much as he had originally considered! He moved back but this only made Marnet abuse the opening!

"You're wide open, Bazael!" he roared, as he infused several dogs into his body once more until he transformed into an anthropomorphic werewolf-like giant, with iridescent white fur, his wolf head roared loudly and furiously, reaching Bazael and using its claws overflowing with energy to slash through his back at max speed!

SLASSH!

"UNGH…!? You dare…!"

Bazael roared in anger at Marnet as he counterattacked with his blade once more, releasing consecutive slashing attacks of light against him, fending off his sibling as Morpheus abused this to attack once more!

SLASH! CLASH!

The giant shapeshifted and now it resembled a centaur made of bright light wearing armor, as it used an enormous spear made of aura to released consecutive thrusting attacks over Bazael!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

"Tch!"

Bazael quickly jumped around and flapped his wings to maintain his flashing speed, as he suddenly flew around the giant and reached Morpheus residing atop of it!

"You're the one wide open!" laughed Bazael, as his power began to overflow from his body into an enormous and explosive white light coming from his blade, only for Morpheus to smile back.

"Is that so?"

FLASH!

Morpheus revealed a large blade made of a bright yellow gold metal, as he intercepted Bazael's attacks with his own!

CLASH! SLASH! CLAAASH!

"W-What! Since when you have even fought or used weapons at all?!" asked Bazael.

"Since some months ago. I have been training diligently to be of use for the master! I have become quite good at the blade due to my descendant's help!" laughed Morpheus, abusing the surprise of Bazael to overwhelm him in time before their difference in skill was to become clearer, as Morpheus was obviously weaker in this regard!

CLASH! CLASH! SLAASH!

"HAAH!"

Bazael roared angrily as he released several slashing attacks over Morpheus, but Morpheus resisted them while using his giant made of aura to evade and shield himself, Marnet who was preparing to fight finally emerged at the side of Bazael, his claws reaching to him and slashing through his flesh once more!

SLAAASH!

"UAAGH…!"

Not only his flesh was sliced but also his soul, a large chunk of it was sent flying through the airs, as Bazael realized that he had not just bee slashed, but his left wing was sliced alongside his left leg!

"Nnngh?! W-What? How can you two be so strong?!"

Bazael suddenly lost all of his coolness and calm demeanor as he began to feel despair growing inside of his agitated chest, he glanced at his siblings quickly approach him without answering any of his questions!

CLASH! CLAAASH!

Bazael's glorious demeanor began to slowly fade away as he began to grow furious, he was actually going all out from the beginning, yet he wasn't actually overwhelming them?! Well, it was his stupid idea to fight one against two to being with!

His power constantly continued to be poured into his techniques, but the power of Marnet and Morpheus was considerable, and Bazael lacked the tact and evasiveness that his sister Venettia had, as he was a more straightforward frontline fighter, he always had several openings!

But because he was so strong, he never truly experienced what was being so overwhelmed… until now!

Author's Note:

Sorry to interrumpt the action guys, but I was wondering if you got any more ideas for Daos, the idea contest is still ongoing! I've already decided to add a couple of your suggestions, but more are always appreciated (and it doenst have to be just of Kireina, but of other characters within her family too!).

Addiitonally, I would like to as you if you got any ideas regarding Realm Core Abilities, they're usually large buildings or facilities with special effects that can be shared with a wide amount of people, so go crazy and suggest anything that comes to your mind!
