Epic Of Caterpillar

After having a relaxing bath, I decided to finally put hands into work. Today I was going to evolve some of my wives who desired a quick powerup and could not just wait to level up and evolve naturally.

I have several means to help them out if things do not go as planned, so I am confident that even if I fail, their lives will not be endangered.

I could not just evolve them all today, so I just picked the most desperate ones first, Sofarpia, and Sofarpia…

"So we will be the first ones?!" said Sofarpia.

"Yes! Finally!" said Sofelaia.

"It's not like you had to wait so much; you girls are exaggerating this a bit"

Gaby also wanted me to try it out in Gubo, her Thunder Slime 'Pet', she had gained a lot of strength after evolving through the use of Evolution Radishes, but it wasn't enough to compare even to Amiphossia's newly evolved servants. Gubo was currently Rank 7, so Gaby wanted her to get a boost.

"Gubo! Gubo, Gubo!" said Gubo, while jumping around, its yellow semi-transparent jelly-like body bouncing while emitting sparks of lightning.

"Ah, Gubo seems very excited, Kireina! You better give her a strong evolution!" said Gaby.

"I will try, though I don't have any particular materials for her, so I may end up using different things and her appearance may change" I muttered.

"Oh, is it fine by you, Gubo?" asked Gaby.

"Gubo! Gubo, Gubo, Gubo, Gubo!!!" said Gubo, bouncing with enthusiasm.

It seems that it was fine.

I thought about the possibility of evolving Herbell, but he was not interested in the idea and liked to level up and evolve at his phase. Although he had developed a liking for fighting and growing stronger on his new physical body, he is still 'a true mage', that loves doing research and learning more about magic and the mysteries of the world.

"Ah, sorry Kireina, but I refuse. I have been recently immersed in my studies, but I've also trained diligently in the Dungeon. Soon enough I should be able to evolve"

"That is fine, but if you change your mind just speak to me. Talking about studies, how is Ryo doing in magic understanding? Ah, and Yiksukesh?"

"Oh, Ryo has recently become more diligent all out of a sudden, while Yiksukesh was already a master of Poison and Phantom Attribute Magic, but she lacked any talent in the other attributes she has an affinity with. She's slowly learning Shadow and Dark Attribute Magic" said Herbell.

"I'm glad to have a nice teacher like you in here,"

"Ah, it is an honor to have my knowledge be recognized, Kireina-sama, but I am nothing but a mere researcher, there is much to investigate and find out yet" muttered Herbell. 

Vajrara wanted to evolve as well. I have not seen her in a few days as I've left her to assess the churches that worship me, she is surprisingly diligent in her work, it surprised me greatly.

"Kireina-sama…! Have I been good?! Could you bless me with an Evolution? The one that only a Goddess like you is capable of granting to us pitiful mortals… I assure you that with the strength it grants to me, I shall serve you even better!" shouted Vajrara, with a fanatical expression.

"Hm, well… You have worked hard these last days, so I suppose a small incentive for your faithful work is needed. Very well"

"Uwaaah~! Kireina-sama, thank you, thank you!" said Vajrara, lowering her head and fervently kissing my feet.

"Please stop that"

Because of her hard work, I decided to evolve her as well, she would be the fourth to be evolved, after Gubo and the Centaur Twins…

Aarae brought Ervin with him, but Ervin didn't really want to force development on his own body, he liked to work hard to achieve what he wanted, so I stopped Aarae because he was beginning to act quite possessive and forceful.

"Aarae, it is clear that Ervin doesn't want to evolve by my means… don't be so forceful"

"B-But I want Ervin-kun to catch up to the rest…" muttered Aarae.

"Aarae, I'm sorry but I like to grow stronger through my own means. I don't find anything wrong in what your mother is doing to the rest, but I don't want this to myself, its just my decision" said Ervin, his size had increased a little bit since he became a Leviathan Centaur.

"Okay… if you say so… Sorry" muttered Aarae.

"Don't worry, it's fine, let's go train in the dungeon" said Ervin, as he let Aarae sit down over his long sea snake-like lower half. Both of them flew through the air with the 'Levitate' Spell towards the Dungeon.

Thankfully, Ervin did not mind and forgave him pretty easily. I hope that he is not spoiling my boy too much though.

Entering the Ritual Room with Sofarpia, Sofelaia, Gubo, Gaby, and Vajrara, I began to open my Item Box and to select the materials needed.

Sofelaia had currently unlocked Life Attribute Magic, but it was having a hard time leveling it up, she also had a strong affinity with Light and Holy Attribute, and her evolution and class reflected that.

She always had a serious attitude, and even more now as she was nervous.

"K-Kireina-sama, will it hurt too much…?" she asked.

"Well, I will administrate you with anesthesia, I've just made it use Venomous Source Magic. It's a special toxin that can numb all of your senses, so there shouldn't be any pain, you will be asleep through the whole operation" I said, reassuring her.

"R-Really? Thanks for thinking about us… Phew," she said, as she rested her body in the middle of the ritual circle.

Extending one of my tentacles and shaping it into a thin tube, I created a small needle using my bones and inserted it into Sofelaia's left arm, administrating the anesthesia.

"Ah, oh… t-this feels…" and she fell asleep.

"Uwah! That was very fast!" said Sofarpia.

"So that's the famous anesthesia that I've seen the nurse team use in the hospitals recently?" asked Gaby.

"Well, no, that one is the prototype, it takes a few minutes to take its full effect. This new one only takes four seconds. If I hadn't eaten Megusan, I wouldn't have been able to create such powerful anesthesia before, it also causes instantaneous sleep while numbing all senses, it is a wonderful thing" 

"Gubo!" shouted Gubo, bouncing around.

"Kireina-sama! To think that you would obtain new powers after devouring yourself!" said Vajrara, who still thinks that I am Megusan.

I decided to just ignore her and continue on Sofelaia's evolution.

With the help of Sofarpia, we assessed several materials. The flesh of Giant Golden Horses, which were Life Attribute horse-like monsters that spawned in Morpheus's Dungeon, the internal organs such as their Light-producing glands of the Shine Horses, Light-Attribute horse-like monsters, the fur of Heavenly Unicorns and the cores of Light Elementals and so on.

I've also chosen a few Light Slimes and Angelic Slimes that spawned rarely in Morpheus's Dungeon while considering the idea of adding my own Slime Clones…

If I were to add them, there would be a possibility of them becoming hermaphrodites, isn't it?

Well, seeing how Geraldine and Shirohibe who were fused with them didn't experiment any changes… it could be attributed that only males' experiment this and females are left as they are.

Then it should be fine. My Slime Clones are very strong and are packed with powerful Skills, affinities, and passive skills.

I decided to create Slime Clones charged with Life, Light and Holy Attribute Mana generated with my Creation Skill, they held brilliant cores inside of their slimy bodies, which were solidified mana as well.

Fusing each piece in Sofelaia's large body, it began to seem as if she were wearing a large coat made out of the flesh, fur, bones, claws, and organs of monsters alongside other materials.

The last material added was the [Valiant Light's Heart Orb (Mythical+++)], a spherical crystal that had a heart-shaped jewel inside, it shined brightly in white and yellow.

Sofarpia was frightened in her sister's appearance, but I calmed her down as I activated the 'Forced Evolution Induction' Skill alongside the Chaos Attribute Spells capable of inducing mutations. I've discovered that by using those spells alongside the Skill, the chance of a successful evolution skyrocket.

Flash!

Sofelaia's body shined brightly as her figure was covered in thick coverture of light, her body quickly absorbed all of the materials as the light merged with herself. The 'Valiant Light's Heart Orb' moved towards her chest.

Her height increased and the fur of her lower half became white and yellow, shining majestically, with a long and fluffy tail. Her hooves seemed to be made of an incredibly hard gold-like mineral, while her upper half muscles had tightened, becoming more refined and some areas were covered in white and gold tattoos.

The emerald jewel that she once had in her forehead turned into a long spiraling white horn, emitting high mana density. She had three yellow jewels surrounding the horn, on each side and below. Her eyes became gold instead of emerald, and her blonde hair turned light yellow.

Sofelaia had evolved into a powerful Centaur race that perhaps had never existed before, it was named 'Celestial Valkyrie Centaur Paladin'. Although she had Valkyrie in her race title, she didn't have angel-like wings.

By administrating another toxin, she slowly woke up.

"Uwah! Big sis, you've evolved! You look so majestic!" shouted Sofarpia.

Sofelaia glanced at herself as she inspected every inch of her body.

"T-This… I've changed quite a lot… and my Mana is overflowing… I can feel the flow of Life, Light, and Holy Attributes around me, I can even… manipulate them" she said, as she waved her hands, creating illusions made out of light. The illusions then took 'life' and began to flap around like birds.

Gaby seemed amazed, alongside Gubo. Vajrara also had her eyes shining brightly in surprise, but she had a natural weakness to Life, Light, and Holy due to her affinities, so she maintained a good distance from Sofelaia.

"Kireina-sama, with this! I can protect you and my sisters better, and ensure my Kingdom's safety!" said Sofelaia, she was inspired by the surge of power and tried to say something inspiring.

I only patted her head.

"I'm glad you're happy with your new evolution. But also consider that you don't have to do everything alone, all of us are your family, and we will be there to help you out"

"A-Ah… Y-Yeah, that!" said Sofelaia with a blushed expression, losing her seriousness.

"Now it's my turn, I hope I become even more dazzling, fufu!" said Sofarpia as she jumped over the magic circle and rested there.

Just like Sofelaia, she needed to take out all of her clothes, it was quite embarrassing because there are Vajrara and Gubo here, but their bodies are so beautiful that there shouldn't be anything to be ashamed of.

Sofarpia's current race was related to her affinity with several attributes and her swordsmanship. As she had the Classes of Magic Knight or Spirit Magic Blade User, I wanted to use materials of several attributes if possible.

Some monsters spawn in the dungeons who often hold the 'sage' title, such monsters are considered masters of several elements of magic, and I had gathered a few through the weeks.

Because I know that any material can be useful, I always have my Item Box filled with different types of items that I butchered from monsters of all kinds.

Aside from the Sage Slimes, there were Sage Drakes, Sage Bears, Sage Birds, and other similar monsters. Some of them spawned in Morpheus's dungeon. I also decided to add a ton of Life Attribute Materials to boost her affinity to her newly obtained attribute of magic.

Just like with Sofelaia, I decided to use a material I obtained through a Loot Box, the [Arcane Mana Stone of Elemental Spirits (Legendary)], which seemed rather ideal for her.

It was possible to merge 'Legendary' Class items into living beings through my Synthesis if I infused it with my Soul, although it was quite hard.

As she had already been administrated with the anesthesia, Sofarpia was soundly asleep, unaware of the changes that were occurring to her body, large pieces of flesh, fur, bones, and organs were being merged into her body randomly. Sofelaia glanced at the scene with a little bit of disgust.

"S-So that's how I evolved too? I had to get all of those materials stuck into my skin and flesh first…? Ugh… Well, it worked" she said.

"Sofelaia-chan, don't question Kireina-sama! She knows what she's doing!" said Vajrara.

Unlike Sofelaia, Sofarpia lower half fur remained light brown, though she became slimmer. Her upper half muscles also tightened and became more flexible, while she gained fur in her wrists and several jewels of several colors around her arms, shoulders, and chest, aligned perfectly and in harmony.

The ruby-like jewel she had in her forehead merged with several other jewels and grew into two medium-sized spiraling horns, which shined brightly in different colors. Sofarpia's eyes remained emerald, but dazzling light would come out of them from time to time.

Sofarpia's new race title was 'Spiritual Sage Bicorn Centaur Duchess', she emitted a bright and colorful Aura around, and as she moved her arms, the jewels in them would release mana of different attributes.

When she woke up, Sofarpia was happy over her new dazzling appearance.

"I really did become way dazzling than a big sister! Fufu…"

"Sofarpia, this was never a competence to who was the most dazzling, cut it out…" muttered Sofelaia.

"Heh"

Vajrara waved her tail with the expectation to her next evolution, while Gubo kept bouncing around.
