Epic Of Caterpillar

-----

Scarlet devoured Kindness as she assimilated it without issues! Her body began to evolve right after!

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 two of her three 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.

Kireina laughed maliciously within her divine realm, her daughter had gotten her the last piece!

FINALLY!

She laughed evilly as she strengthened the soul connection with her children, and then through it, she reached their origin cores.

There, she found all the seven fragments of the Dao of Rebirth!

"Come to me!"

FLAAAAAASH!

All the fragments suddenly flew outside their origin cores as if obeying her authority, Kireina took the seven fragments, and infused them into the formation!

FLAAAAAASH!

The enormous runic formation made up of many nodes all across the area continued to glow brightly as it gained the power of the Dao of Rebirth!

But as it gained such power, what was Kireina going to use it for?!

Fafnir and Electra sat there, infusing their Dao essence into it, while countless streams of divine energy flowed over everything naturally by Kireina's whim.

FLASH!

Another flash of bright light emerged, absorbing the power of the Dao of Rebirth within these fragments, and using it for something!

The iridescent lights continued to emerge and dance everywhere, the entire divine realm was dancing with bright yellow-gold lights.

All the beings within the formation that had helped on it rejoiced, flying far away from it to not intervene with it.

"Such splendor! What is happening now?!"

"I don't know, but if it was made by lady Kireina, it is surely something of wondrous quality and incomprehensible use!"

"What could lady Kireina make to fight against such a power as a Cosmic Dao that can revive someone indefinitely…"

"She said something, I remember it!"

"What is it?"

"She said… She said that she was going to reverse engineer it!"

"Eh? What does that even means!"

Hydros, the one leading these groups of gods, reprimanded them with her glorious and beautiful looks, putting all the gods paralyzed in both fear and infatuation…

"Idiots! Stop spewing nonsense, my glorious and beautiful wife is about to do something incredible. Be prideful you've helped on it… Hahh… Kireina-sama, you look so beautiful while laughing maliciously!" said Hydros, as she sat near her.

Kireina decided to ignore Hydros a little bit, she was often quite clingy, even when she was already given a body of Kireina to always be with her, she often pursued all her bodies around the divine realm, she was very obsessed with her in every form.

FLAAAASH!

The formation released a blast of bright light into the skies, crossing through the barrier of the spatial layers of the divine realm, and reaching Kireina's body outside!

She was fighting intensively against Agatha at this moment!

Agatha had already died three more times since the last time we saw them fighting, however, that was only good for her, as her power kept increasing! Kireina in all of her splendor was putting everything she could to maintain the battle! But for how long?

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Their fists clashed against one another! Kireina, however, had already used every single power she could, form dreams to laws to anything! But she was only able to do as much before Agatha's Dao overwhelmed. She wasn't even affected by sleep-inducing dream attribute divine techniques; she woke up instantly!

If she used Heavenly Laws, Agatha also used similar powers, as she was proficient in the power of Law Attribute… they were even, but Agatha was slowly pulling through a victory in the horizon thanks to her constant powerups by death. Kireina was forced to fight her and sometimes kill her due to this, as she couldn't let her do anything to her family while things were getting ready!

"HAHAHA! What did I told you?! Rebirth is invincible! I won't die, no matter what!" laughed Agatha.

"You bitch!"

Kireina roared monstrously as her sharp bright heels kicked Agatha's head!

CLAAASH!

HOWEVER!

Agatha looked at Kireina defiantly, she had taken the hit and smiled back like a maniac!

"You're really getting sloppy, Kireina…" she said.

"HAAAAHHH!"

Kireina released a blast of chaos directly into Agatha's face, but she took it too!

FLAASH!

"Not too strong, are you weakening? Don't worry, I will take you swiftly!"

FLAAAAAASH!

Agatha reached Kireina as she bathed her in attacks!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"Nnnggh…! Fortune!"

FLAASH!

Kireina defended herself with her Dao, as she used the other Daos of Bubu, and fought back once more!

BOOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOOOMMM!

Their punches resonated across the battlefield like loid explosions that never ended! What was going on anymore?! It was as if two flashing lights crossed the skies constantly, no one could see properly!

However, even after three Daos, only one was fully assimilated, and the other three's power were weakened because Bubu was not at its full power due to having been summoned from just a fragment…

Agatha's strength was being multiplied exponentially each rebirth; she was overwhelming someone with more Daos than her!

Maybe if Kireina had fully assimilated the other three Daos, she could win still, but now, the tables had turned, and she had become sloppy…!

"HAHAHAHAHA! RRAAA!"

Agatha was filled with exhilaration, perhaps this is it! She was going to kill Kireina!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Her blows were like meteors, demolishing Kireina's entire body coated in her armor and other powers… she was breaking apart!

However, right at this moment!

"Heh, its done!" she laughed.

"Eh?"

Agatha was left shocked; she was sure to see on Kireina a look of despair! What was she cunningly planning now?!

"Agatha, I got you a little gift! This is your last death before you'll die for real!" said Kireina.

"Shut up!"

Agatha roared in anger, but Kireina hugged her tightly, expanding her flesh a round her!

Agatha's power was immense, she was demolishing Kireina into pieces even as she did this, btu Kireina regenerated faster, only if for a second!

"GGRAAAAGGH…! STOP!"

"Now!"

Kireina within the divine realm activated the formation, the bright light that rushed into the skies of the divine realm reached Kireina's body, as it began to infuse her with a very peculiar power!

"Eh? The Dao… of Rebirth?!"

"Let's see how it goes!"

FLASH!

Kireina and Agatha gleamed in bright crimson-red light, as Kireina exploded into pieces, her enormous explosive attack took Agatha down with her!

BOOOOOOOMMM!!!

She blew herself up again! Just how many times as Kireina killed herself this way?

Kireina's consciousness, of course, remained, she had already many bodies, her soul transferred inside her divine realm, so she didn't lost as many stats sacrificing this body!

Agatha's consciousness went into a white space.

"Eh?"

She looked around and found… Kireina on it!

"How did you get here?!"

"So this is it! This is… the limbo. The Space where your true soul and consciousness remain, right?" asked Kireina.

"H-How did you…?!"

"Because I died with you using the fragments of Rebirth, I teleported in the same limbo as you."

Indeed!

The Cosmic Dao of Rebirth didn't simply let someone come out into existence again!

What it did was complex yet incredibly fascinating. The wielders who had used their power would connect their souls and origin cores into the Limbo, a space of whiteness where there is nothing.

This Limbo is a multidimensional plane which this Dao gave access to instantaneously. The users sometimes didn't even knew how their inner workings were, but Kireina, a genius amongst geniuses, figured it out better than Agatha herself!

Kireina had come here by using her formation to make the power of the fragments strong enough to create a full rebirth, a single one with Agatha with her, grasping her tightly, she killed herself and blew herself away with Agatha. Of course, the Dao wasn't going to let her rebirth.

This was because Kireina had killed herself, the Dao of Rebirth didn't worked if the target died by its own cause! But that was the good part, this is how Kireina was going to abuse its powers!

She was going to infiltrate into this limbo through Agatha, by following her through the effects of her formation and using the fragments and the activation, even if it didn't worked, of this Dao as a catalyst!

A bit of Dream Attribute, Space Attribute, and others were used too, even the power of Fortune took a place into this working out at the end.

But it did! All meticulously calculated.

However, the time in here was short, of course. They wouldn't be spending their entire lives in this place after all! Agatha only spent a few seconds that in the outside world were nothing, as the Limbo's time wasn't connected to the outside world, an infinite amount of time here was no time at all outside.

This is how the limbo worked, it didn't let you waste a single second outside!

As the soul and the origin core stored inside felt the death of the replica outside, the power of the Dao of Rebirth activated, and a perfect replica was created once more. The replica would be stronger this time around as well!

This was the truth behind the Dao of Rebirth!

And these little seconds were more than enough for Kireina to do something truly deplorable to Agatha!

"Wait, stop!"
