Epic Of Caterpillar

Chapter 1055 - [The Fated Holy War] 43/?: Taking Down The Last Virtues!



-----

A powerful spear of light reached Ryo's head!

"DIE!"

CRASH!

However, the spear… was destroyed?! Ryo's skin was too tough, even this spear charged with almost a hundred thousand attribute particles of light, life, fate, and law combined were nothing?!

"E-EEEH?!"

Ryo looked at the man expressionlessly.

The secret for his amazing resilience did not only lied on the ability he had over the enhancement of musculature over his body. After all, he was a race born to fight, he developed even more and more physical strength than anyone else except the strongest of the strongest!

However, that was merely through natural power. So how?!

Well, it was quite simple! Ryo's power was not only limited to this, but he also had the power of… Myriad Self!

Myriad Self was a wondrous power he had created through his endless training in all weapon arts.

Ryo had trained himself in the weapon arts since he was born. Kireina taught him how to fight since he was a toddler, and he has been sharpening his techniques ever since then!

The power of Myriad Self lied on this, on his incredibly absurd quantity of techniques, which he later fused into his physical fighting techniques that used his fists and legs, and lost the necessity to use weapons because he made of his body all the weapons he needed to fight with!

A kick was as sharp as spear, his fists were as strong as maces, his headbutts carried the power of a club, his fingers were as sharp and slicing as blades, his toes were like scimitars, even hair could be fired like daggers!

After fully comprehending the incredible ability of his own body, he fused it all into his own soul, aura, and body, creating something completely unique through Skill Fusion.

Myriad Self!

By creating copies of himself, made of his very own aura, he was able to fight as if he were an army of one!

And not only that but, merge with them. And completely revolutionize his own powers, he could multiply his own endurance, attack prowess, agility, dexterity, and more based in the amount of clones he fused with!

Myriad Self had endless possibilities, and he could use these clones to create attacks, fusing them together into enormous palms, or giant weapons, armor, anything! Even Kireina was left speechless when she saw Ryo's power.

And now, he stood atop a powerful Great God like nothing.

His entire aura shaped as countless copies of himself. They all looked at Kindness with scorn.

"Pathetic…"

Ryo raised his barefoot and crushed the man's head with it.

"GGRRYYYYAAAAAAGGH…!"

CRAAASH!

Like a watermelon falling form a cliff, the man's head was splattered all over the floor!

He extended his hand into a red slime and devoured the corpse and the soul, alongside absorbing the dropped crystals.

The Virtue fought back, of course! Ryo wasn't considered a kind man!

However… he didn't care if this Virtue thought of him as unbefitting!

The virtue of temperance might had fitted him better, but oh well, they were not choosing this out, and they were doing it mostly randomly, so it didn't matter at the end.

FLASH!

Ryo, however, used his sharp fangs and crushed Kindness, swallowing it, and assimilating it.

His entire body was shrouded in new power, he began to evolve!

"Hoh? I never thought I could evolve again like this…"

His height increased by around a whole meter, his muscles were enhanced and super strengthened, his entire body was coated in runic signs that enhanced his physical prowess, resembling eyes and more.

His body coated in jewels gained more bright gems over it, as his eyes flashed with bright yellow-gold light! His hair grew long, reaching his hips, glowing with silvery-white light.

His horns changed the most, resembling a large crown growing out of his body, it was incredible how strong he had become in this little time!

A third eye opened in the middle of his forehead, as he looked over at his own changes…

There wasn't any need for more changes, Ryo's physiology was rather simple.

His power was enhanced exponentially, all of his comprehensions and attribute particles increased, and atop that, he gained the power of the guy he just ate and absorbed the crystals from.

"Hm? This is a Dao Fragment…" said Ryo, looking over it as it floated within his Origin Core!

Zehe jumped over her son's back.

"Uwah! Ryo-kun, you were so cool! Mama is so proud of her boy! A-And you got so big all out of the sudden too!" said Zehe, shocked over her son's changes…

"Yeah, I don't know, I might change my height later. Anyways, mother, I have it!" said Ryo.

Ryo's message reached Kireina as she nodded and smiled.

Diligence and Kindness were done for! And now… Who was left?!

Well, it was nobody else than… Humility!

A young-looking girl who was actually a very old woman, with long silver hair a beautiful pale-whited face, her eyes shone with bright yellow-gold light, as she flew away from the army of Kireina's children and wives chasing her down!

She had more speed than anyone in the other Virtues, and all her spells actually specialized in evasion! This was why she had survived up until this point! In fact, this was why she had survived for so long despite being so freaking old!

FLAAAASH!

"Hahahh…! You can't catch me! You won't catch me… N-Never…!" cried the girl, as she began to already despair.

She had already been looking for a way out, but her own holy mother had trapped her inside the Dao Barrier…

Attacks began to fall over her, however, she managed to evade somehow and flashed away like a bright light!

FLASH!

Suddenly, she felt as if she went through something!

"Can it be?! I have… transcended speed and I can even go through space now!" said the woman, realizing her newfound power!

She found herself in a place without oxygen, it was the dimension within the spatial layers that made up the fabric of reality. She had managed to escape!

"Haha… Hahahah!

She coated herself in her divinity and was able to easily survive here… Shew as saved!

She won! She survived!

She had already considered putting her divine realm here, go to sleep, and wait for everyone to kill each other in the meantime. What a nice plan!

However.

"Fufu, you fell for it!"

The cute voice of a girl resonated through the old woman's ears, she looked behind her to find a beautiful pale-white-skinned half-centipede girl! Her lower half was like that of a centipede, whose exoskeleton was metallic and scarlet-colored! Her hair was long and red too, and her eyes sharpen and crimson red… She wore a simple red dress. She was all about red!

And her presence… utterly terrifying!

Despite her adorable half centipede girl appearance, she looked more demonic than anything the woman had seen before… And this was, mostly because of her incredibly pressuring presence!

Just who was this girl?

"W-What? W-Who are you?!"

"I brought you here, of course! I have spatial magic powers!" she said.

"Eh? NO!"

The woman cried in anger, firing a blast charged with all her power towards the girl!

"Nom!"

CRUNCH!

The entire beam was cut in half, dissipating!

"Eh?!"

An invisible force devoured it! Somehow…

"T-This… W-What are you?!"

"Fufu… I am Scarlet, nice to meet you, dinner!" said Scarlet, the child between Kireina, Nesiphae, and Nixephine, which she doesn't want to specify the way she was conceived due to extreme embarrassment!

Scarlet was a mysterious yet incredibly powerful girl, she could be one of Kireina's children most terrifying beings... She was already incredibly unique in her powers, which Kireina couldn't completely copy either, even with everything she had, Scarlet was simply unique by herself, something she had only for her…

Her power was due to her having eaten Devour itself when she accidentally ate her mother through their dreams before she was even born… At that time, she had yet to take a proper form, and resembled a monstrous and gluttonous being that never ended her hunger. However, when Kireina, through her motherly love, let her own daughter devour her, she finally felt satiated…

And her power grew… and grew… and grew!

"G-Get away from me!"

FLASH!

Scarlet teleported near the old man, and smiled.

"Bye!"

"GRRYYYYAAAAGGHH!"

The woman felt two invisible jaws pressing down from above and below her body, as she began to be crushed…! The sharp fangs… were crushing her!

Munching her, devouring her! She was… being eaten alive for something she couldn't even see!

CRUNCH!

And done.

She was deleted… from existence!

Scarlet munched something within her mouth and swallowed it whole.

The Virtue, despite her monstrous being, accepted her.

Why? Scarlet wasn't malicious, she wasn't evil either. Deep down, she was a pure-hearted girl… She was simply innocently monstrous, grotesque, and just built different. Her whole perception of stuff was twisted, but her own intentions were not evil.

She didn't took pleasure on killing others, nor she seek violence to appease her own wicked desires, she did what her mommy told her to do!

So, as a result, she devoured the old hag in a second and got her Virtue in an even faster of a second! The loli baba was no more!

FLASH!

"Oooh!"

Scarlet quickly felt her power surging through, as she underwent evolution!

Her body was shrouded in white light as the Virtue fused with her soul and enhanced her powers exponentially!

FLAAAAASH!

More light came around her body as her lower half began to grow larger, extending for even more meters! It grew sharper and bigger too, the exoskeleton became as heavy and sturdy as true divine armor!

Even more, her upper body gained scarlet metallic scales across areas of her body, her shoulders, around her neck, a bit of her belly and back, and over her hands, forming sharp metallic claws…

Her scarlet antennae shaped themselves differently as they resembled two spiraling scarlet-red horns! They glowed brightly with an eerie aura of dread, as her forehead opened a vertical third eye, glowing completely red without irises! It shone with a deadly brightness…

And her hair grew longer, waving around, as it gained a faint color of purple on its tips, from her two mothers Kireina and Nesiphae…

Her skin remained pale-white, but she gained scarlet-colored runic tattoos around her, her belly gained a red jewel and the tattoos around it resembled an open and sharp mouth.

And sure thing, even her belly… changed. There were clearly some marks, as if her belly could now open as a mouth as well.

She had two mouths now, meaning that she could attack twice at the same time!

"T-That was so cool!" she said, happily, contacting her mother.

"Mommy, I got the last one as you wanted!" she said.

"Good! I knew that my precious little girl would get it for mama!" laughed Kireina.
