Epic Of Caterpillar

-----

Kireina made sure to extend her domain all around the capital. This was because she wanted to give her wives a large space to fight.

She was requested this by her wives before the entire city was brainwashed, as most of them desired to fight a strong opponent and develop their new abilities, especially those that had recently evolved. After considering it for a while, Kireina accepted their request, however, she granted each of them a large quantity of Slime Clones protecting them inside of their equipment alongside coating their weapons with the effects of Divinity Devouring a dozen times.

If they were to fight Geggoron's split souls, he would ultimately overpower the girls. Geggoron's split souls had special Divine Energy Techniques that could easily regenerate wounds on its vessel endlessly.

Any wound caused by mortals was shallow, the only way to damage them properly was with Divinity Devouring. The greatest tool that Kireina had against Gods or beings with Godly powers or small divinities.

Although the brainwashed royalty of Moonfang wanted to stick together to win, this plan of them quickly came to an end when Kireina and her family began to blast them away with long-ranged attacks, forcing them to escape their attacks and separate.

Then, each of her wives was given a contender, although there were not as many for each girl to have their own rival. So, they ended up creating small teams to fight against each one. This would also make things safer for them.

Kireina first body decided to fight Lionel alongside Rimuru, as he seemed even stronger than the Golden Adamantine Claws Lion King, which was a hero, supposedly stronger than the real King… However, this seemed to be a lie made up by Moonfang, the strongest Beastmen was no other than the Lion King himself, Lionel. His son was the strongest below him.

She had already investigated all of such characters when she brainwashed and extracted the memories of some of the surviving Monstrosities and Nightmare Hunters, in that time when she was inspecting their physiology. After she saw all of them present, she quickly devised everything.

The fights that Kireina had carefully planned against her enemy's wills were as follows.

Beast Lion King Lionel VS Kireina (First Body) & Rimuru

Vasipheus, Crimson-Eyed Night Lion Prince VS Nesiphae & Gaby

'Golden Adamantine Claws Lion King (Prince)', Drarus VS Lilith & Charlotte

Dalia, Silver Snow Lioness Queen VS Oga & Brontes

Poisonous Purple Lioness Princess, Catrina VS Zehe & Alice

Thunderous Young Cheetah Lion Prince, Zurut VS Acelina & Ismena

Stoic Mountain Lion Prince, Damasios VS Sofelaia & Sofarpia

Lioness Huntress Princess of Blazing Arrows, Xedia VS Altani & Kaguya

White Priestess Lioness Princess of Holiness, Phymara VS Nixephine & Nefertiti

The fights had already started the moment the royal family separated to escape Kireina's family barrage of long-ranged attacks, each of her wives separated into a pair, following their preys with voracious expressions in their eyes…

Geggoron's Split Souls were being completely humiliated by being forced into fights like these, as if everything were a game for Kireina to strategize and plan ahead of time, to the point of even prioritizing the amusement of her wives.

"Were we always so pathetic…? That woman not only separated us all but carefully designed a plan to fight each one of us separately by using her vast amount of allies…! And to make things an almost secure triumph, she made two of her allies fight one of mine each…! What kind of incredibly cautious and wicked mind does this creature that names itself Kireina really has? What kind of mind does she have? What is she thinking? My main body has been constantly trying to figure out her plans, her next course of action, but she always comes out with completely unpredictable and chaotic plans that are always carefully planned! Just how far as she planned things ahead of all of us?! Just how superior is she to us?! How is it possible that we are always caught in her webs?! Are we utterly hopeless…?" thought Lionel, as cold sweat dripped through his entire golden furred body.

He jumped above the empty buildings while trying to make space from Kireina and Rimuru, and actively seeking to reunite with the rest of his allies.

However.

Kireina and Rimuru nodded as their Auras converged into one, releasing another domain inside of their main domain, trapping Lionel and the two inside yet another secluded space.

"How is it possible? A domain inside a domain?!" shouted Lionel, his body engulfed on his own Aura to resist the pressure that Kireina's domain exerted over him.

"What's wrong, Lionel, Geggoron? You do not know how to do this? I am getting incredibly tired of you getting shocked by everything I do… just how outdated are you with the times, old man?" asked Kireina, laughing.

"If you think that you can just lightly laugh at my face, I will make you regret it, Kireina! I am Lionel, the Beast Lion King, the strongest Beastmen in the Moonfang Kingdom! After embracing Geggoron-sama, I have unlocked new powers that I never thought possible before! I once thought I was on the peak, but now I can truly feel what is being STRONG!" shouted Lionel, bracing himself with his golden and sparkling Aura and Geggoron's dark and nightmarish Aura, converging together into a pressuring force.

"Oh? Not a bad powerup. But have you seen this one?" said Kireina, as she grabbed Rimuru's hands and looked at her eyes.

"Let's do it again, my dear," she said.

"Yes, Masta!" said Rimuru.

Both women expressed their love in a passionate kiss.

"What are you doing, you lustful fiend?! Trying to mock me even more? Die!" shouted Lionel, flying towards the two like a bullet made out of yellow and dark energies.

Flash!

However, Kireina and Rimuru's bodies shined brightly, their structures converged together as if both had turned into two liquids. A new humanoid shape appeared in the spawn of less than a second.

A beautiful maiden, covered in golden armor, possessing sixteen wings, eight arms, long rainbow air, and scarlet eyes appeared. Her beauty was unparalleled.

"Hm?! T-That! Do you think that I did not know that you could do that? I saw you fighting against Nari, you-"

"Silence," said Kireina and Rimuru at the same time.

A wave of pure energy flew towards Lionel and threw him away like a bullet through the air.

"Ughh! It was sure that I would clash against them! How did they release an attack faster than my charge?!" shouted Lionel, bewildered.

"Concentrate, stupid pawn!" shouted Geggoron's split soul from within Lionel's mind.

Kireina appeared before his sight in less than a second, while he was still flying through the air.

"Let's play a bit more, shall we?"

"Agh! You bitch! GAAOOO! Golden Lion Meteor Onslaught!" 

-----

Vasipheus always stood in the shadows of his brother, Drarus, which was later known as 'Golden Adamantine Claws Lion King'.

They were born almost at the same time from different mothers. Vasipheus was the son of Lionel and a Panther Concubine named Elestrial. The moment he was born he immediately showed uniqueness and great talent. And as he grew up, his body and physique developed incredibly fast, having a great amount of his father's lineage, he became a giant of over three meters.

Although he was an exceptional fighter possessing a herculean strength almost comparable to his father… his brother, Drarus, was even stronger and better.

He shined brightly in golden colors, unlike him, who was tainted in black fur due to his mother's lineage.

Due to the resemblance of Drarus with Lionel, he was seen as the 'true inheritor of Moonfang', while Vasipheus was seen as the 'second in command'.

Vasipheus desired to be recognized by everyone, but even after being incredibly talented and strong, there was always someone better than him, that would trample over him and his dreams.

When Geggoron appeared, he immediately accepted his powers, and became someone stronger, stronger enough to beat his brother…

And he did, he fought against Drarus and beat him almost to death, feeding his almost-dead body to Geggoron, who took him as his new vessel and healed him back.

Vasipheus was intoxicated with the power given by Geggoron, he slowly strengthened the cult of Geggoron and spread it through the Kingdom, while scheming against this own siblings and family, for all of them to end falling to Geggoron, enslaved, brainwashed, and possessed by the Demon Demigod's Split Souls.

He was a simple and tyrannical idiot, happy to be toyed and used by Geggoron as long as he kept being stronger than his brother… But all out of a sudden he was dragged into this desperate fight for survival.

He thought he was tall, strong, and overwhelming, glancing from above to those weaker than him. And it was like this until today… when he found someone even greater, and taller.

A giant and bewitchingly beautiful Lamia Lady, with purple skin and scarlet eyes, a crown made out of horns and long silky purple hair. She had four arms, each one packing muscles enough to break a mountain apart. Unlike Vasipheus three meters of tallness, she was over five meters, a true giant.

Her snake tail was covered in armor-like purple scales, and her belly showed incredibly packed muscles. She wore a dark knight armor over her body while showing some areas teasingly.

A gigantic ax that could split the heavens was being wielded by her as if it weighed nothing, she was Nesiphae, one of Kireina's strongest wives.

And at her side, a phantasmagoric ship flew through the skies, led by a crazed and insane, yet beautiful and sexy Mershark lady, Gaby probably just as strong.

Vasipheus was trapped by these two dangerous living calamities inside a domain created by the combination of their Auras. Poison mist and thundering ocean waves converged together in this strange and enclosed space.

"We finally managed to catch this little kitten, fufufu," laughed Nesiphae, leisurely.

"That's right, I wonder if he can take on both of us?" asked Gaby.

"Well, I hope so, I kind of want a challenge… Well, he has that Geggoron's split soul, so it should be resilient enough to resist my slice," said Nesiphae, glancing at Vasipheus with a smile. 

Vasipheus was completely frozen in fear… although he desired power and to trample above others, he was a big coward that liked to be praised and worshiped.

Geggoron's split soul inside of his mind kept shouting at him.

"Move! Attack them while you can! Pulverize them! You have me! Wake up from your fear, you're nothing more than a pathetic kitten!" shouted Geggoron's split soul.

"T-This… how can I beat such a giantess…?! It's impossible!" said Vasipheus's mind.

"It's useless with you! I will take over your mind once and for all! You have no use for me!" shouted Geggoron's split soul, engulfing Vasipheus's mind and devouring all of it!

"W-Wait…! No- Gyaaaaaaahh!!!"

Vasipheus felt the horrible pain of having all of his thoughts and memories fragmented and devoured… he was then assimilated completely by Geggoron's split soul, which took over his body completely.

"Oh? He's already yelling in fear?" asked Gaby.

"No… watch out, Gaby," said Nesiphae, as she raised her gigantic Battle Axe and released a dozen buffing spells and skills, her muscles bulging energetically.

"Raaaaaaawwr!" shouted Vasipheus… no, Geggoron's split soul, flying towards Nesiphae like a meteor made out of the darkness of the night!

"Here it comes! Hopefully, you survive this one! Venomous Mountain Slice!" shouted Nesiphae, moving her body at an incredible speed despite her size. Wielding her giant ax, she released a vertical slice with the power capable of slicing a small mountain in half.

Slash! 

"Graaaaawwr!!!" shouted Geggoron through Vasipheus's split soul, due to having devoured his memories and mind, he seemed to have been dazzled by the amount of information given to his mind and had gone completely berserk. Although this seemed to work for him.

Releasing a barrage of punches engulfed in Nightmarish Aura, the slicing attack released by Nesiphae was successfully blocked through the air, meteors made out of this energy flew through the air hitting the ground and leaving gigantic craters.

"Ah, not bad!" shouted Gaby through the air, commanding her phantasmal ship, she launched a barrage of powerful attacks, each one exploded over Vasipheus's body leaving deep burns, his flesh exploding through the air alongside his blood and bones.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"Graaaaaaa!"

Vasipheus released his entire Aura, which seemed to converge perfectly with Geggoron, shaping them into the heads of lions and dozens of sharp and grotesque claws. Using them, he intercepted Gaby's attacks by coupling them with his Techniques and Arts.

Clash! Clash! Clash!

However, as Vasipheus began to emerge from Gaby's attack, hundreds of snakes made out of translucent purple energy began to entangle Vasipheus's gigantic body, appearing from underground!

"Giishyaa!"

Using their bodies, the snakes began to detonate into powerful explosions, as Nesiphae kept producing them, she rushed towards Vasipheus while raising her axe. Her Aura extended itself like a menacing omen of death!

"Can you take this one as well?! Corrosive Piercing Axe!"
