Epic Of Caterpillar

"Kireina-sama, we are done!" said Nanako, cheerfully.

"It was easier than we thought, we just told each Monstrosity and Nightmare Hunter to gather in a single place… and then we killed them," added Mady, nonchalantly.

Nanako and Maki greeted us with a pile of Monstrosities and Nightmare Hunters.

After brainwashing the entire population of Moonfang's capital, which also included the mutated citizens controlled by Geggoron, they were left alongside some of the Chimera for 'cleaning work'.

They killed all these monsters before the brainwashing and hypnosis were to wear off.

However, it seems that it has lasted for a long time, and the citizens seem to be still hypnotized, seemingly in a trance. They were all standing silently, glancing at the horizon.

They were more than thirty thousand beastmen, so it was a spectacle to behold.

Nanako and Mady were able to differentiate the Monstrosities and Nightmare Hunters from normal citizens with the help of my Slime Clones, which indicated to them which ones were needed to be slain.

Some of the citizens that were too close to the massacred ended up a bit covered in the dark blood of these monsters, but I washed them by creating warm water and then releasing a war breeze to dry their clothes.

I opened a portal to my Inner Realm, the largest one I could muster, which was around three meters long, and the citizens began to walk like zombies inside while being guided by my Aura Clones inside of my Inner Realm.

"Through here~"

"Please, hurry up~"

"Here!"

One of my Aura Clones coquettishly told the citizens to go through another portal, the one connecting to my third body, which was back in my Empire.

Using my third body, I gathered the Rin Sisters and a dozen of Succubus Secretaries, but more and more personal was needed to assess so many people, so other workers from different races joined, such as Chaos Humans, Hobgoblins, and even other Beastmen that had quickly adapted to the city and the people.

"They're like zombies!" said Rin.

"What did Kireina do with them…?" asked Ran.

"I think she brainwashed them into mindless zombies… hopefully, they recover on their own though…" muttered Ren.

"They should come back to their senses in a few hours… for now, guide them to their respective and assigned houses… do we even have enough?" I asked using my third body.

"Your Slime Clones are constantly constructing more houses through the Construction System, alongside thousands of Undead as coworkers… but even then with such efficacy, it will take some time to create over ten thousand more houses, we are quickly colonizing the rest of the forest as well… Some areas that had large forests will have to be moved," said Rin.

"Well, call the Dryad Queen and the Empresses, so they can manipulate the trees and make them move on their own, we can expand the forest to the borders of the Grand Forest… I will also tell Wall to free some space," I said.

Several Bat Slime Clones were flying around Wall, which I used as eyes, while I talked with the Wall equipped inside of my body, who was, in fact, the same Wall like the one protecting the Grand Forest, having the same souls.

"Wall, my dear, could you make some more space outside? Here, I will create more slimes so you can increase your mass and move accordingly"

"Okay, master!" said the little wall, who appeared outside of my body and sat down on the floor, concentrating.

Outside of the Grand Forest, Wall's original body was receiving immense quantities of small slimes summoned by my Slime Bat Clones.

By eating them, her mass began to widen, becoming larger and larger.

"Aah, that was a good meal!" she said, as she expanded her gigantic body, creating a larger amount of space inside of her territory.

"This should be enough… transfer around 20% of the beastmen to Athetosea, and those that are comfortable in lower temperatures to Cilane," I said.

"Very well," said the three Rin Sisters, commanding the now hundreds of Secretary Succubus.

They were originally created to help assess the new population, but they also became their own population and had to register themselves…

I remember that the Rin Sisters had some problems with them because they wanted to be citizens as well, they were created to help n their work, but after the Rin sisters evolved, the Secretary Succubus were able to live longer, for many years, instead of disappearing when their cooldown was over. 

So instead of making work easier, they made it more complicated, but now that things had settled down with around two hundred Secretary Succubus, it should work… but because the new citizens were thousands, other citizens working in similar branches that assessed citizens needed to join the fray.

I glanced with my Slime Clones spread through the Empire, as I saw the Dryad Queen and the Dryad Empresses controlling the different trees and vegetation, making them move on their own with their Nature Attribute Magic.

Various of my Slime Clones were also helping them.

Countless trees and other types of plants began to walk with their roots, moving away to free some space.

Such free space was instantly paved by thousands of Undead and Slime Clones with the help of the Construction System, and more houses were constructed one after another.

"Phew! There is a lot of work today, isn't it, Boss?" said a Skeleton knight with the voice of a girl.

"Indeed, work hard! If we finish everything in a few days, I will invite everyone to a booze party, I will pay!" said one of my Slime Clones, helping the undead such as zombies, skeletons, and ghosts get motivated.

"Now you're talking boss!" laughed another Skeleton Knight.

"Hurray!" said a little Dark Ghost, stretching its phantasmal body and materializing it to move materials.

"Haah! I want to drink some cold beer!" said a Skeleton whose body was covered in Ice Armor, an Ice Wraith Knight.

"Let's work hard so we can enjoy it better!" said an Undead Hobgoblin Warrior, who had fallen in the Athetosea War and was raised as an Undead by me, this actually happened with most of those that died in that time. 

"Heavy-Ho! Heavy-Ho!" said a dwarf skeleton miner. I remember that we found an abandoned mine inside a mountain in the Eat Rocky Mountains area, filled with dwarf ghosts and skeletons, they seemed to have died when the ceiling fell over them, so I made them into undead citizens. Of course, this was done by my Slime Clones, I was busy with my family to do it personally.

"Alright you pile of bones and rotten meat, keep moving! Gahahaha!" laughed a Giant Skeleton, who also works part-time as a guard outside of the capital.

Undead were the best workers because they were tireless, no other could do construction work as efficient as them, they can also keep working for several days in a row without having to sleep. They also get well paid, so most undead citizens choose this job as it is easy for their tireless bodies and it is good to pay to maintain their daily lives and buy luxuries that they desire.

As all of this was happening inside of my Empire, I was with my second body, which had fused back with the other body that was inside of Moonfang's Castle.

We were having a feast on the rooftop of the Moonfang Kingdom Castle, my children were joining as well through the portal that connected my Inner Realm to my other body.

We were enjoying the spoils of war, of course.

All of the royal family members had mutated in some way or another, and their bodies seemed to have become very high-quality meat, which was quickly butchered by Nesiphae and Nixephine, the masters of butchery, who were so good at it that they even awakened the skill into 'Dismantle'.

They had all of their body parts processed and now were just piles after piles of finely cut pieces of meat of all shapes and sizes.

Today was a rather lax dinner party, so the pile of meat was resting over a large table, and everyone had to grab their own pieces of meat and grill them in the large bonfires that were set, which were made by Fire Ghosts tamed by Amiphossia.

There were tables filled with appetizers to go with the different meat, alongside sauces and several types of beverages of all types. Such as Ambrosia Nectar Juice, Sweet Cactus Wine, Beer of several types, and fragrant tea. There was even milkshake for those that preferred that such as Ailine, Vudia, and the younglings.

I was eating rather voraciously… since I obtained a second demi-divinity, I got incredibly hungry. My other body back in the Empire was eating even more because it was carrying my child.

A large reddish and purplish steak, which seemed to belong to one of the princesses that were a Half Poison Lion, was being grilled in the phantasmal fire, as I sprinkled lake salt imported from Aquaria and sweet sauce all over it.

I punched over the juicy steak as I felt the sweet flavors converging inside of my mouth.

"Delicious…"

"Mommy! I want!" said Belle, who had learned many words since a few days ago, and was now able to communicate better.

She was sitting in my lap while drooling at the steak.

Adelle, who was at my side, reprimanded her.

"Belle, you already ate a steak! Let your mother have some for her," she said, eating a Takoyaki.

"Muh…"

"I don't really mind! For my daughter I would always share my food~ Here my baby," I said, offering the steak to Belle, who opened her little mouth and took a large chunk.

"Nom, nom… Sho guud! I wuv you mommy!" she said…

Haah… isn't my daughter the cutest?

I patted Belle adorable head as Nirah appeared behind my back, entangling her tail around my waist.

"Mama! Mama!"

Nirah was the reincarnation of a very small soul piece of Megusan, and she didn't inherit any of his memories or personality. She saw me as her mother since we meet eyes, and I accepted her as my adoptive daughter since then.

"What is it Nirah-chan? Do you want some as well? But you need to talk some more words to convince me…!" I said.

"Mama! Ma… Mama… me… want! I want!" she said, glancing at me with her beautiful scarlet eyes, her six little arms trying to reach the steak.

"Me want!" she said again.

"What do you want? How is this called?"

"Ah… Me want! Ah… Stea… Steak! Me want steak!" she said, waving her little tail with the head of a snake, as she cleaned the drool of her little mouth with her snake-like tongue.

"Good girl! Here, have some!" I said, praising my daughter and offering her the steak, she munched on it and began to dance happily.

"From where she learned how to dance?" I asked.

Vajrara, who was eating a large piece of octopus at my side answered.

"Ah, Kireina-sama! The little Nirah learned that from her sister, Amiphossia-sama! Who seem to have been taught by Nesiphae-sama!"

"I see… it is a rather adorable dance when performed by a little girl, I have to admit, she seems very happy," I said.

As Nirah danced while munching on the piece of steak, I was about to eat a bite until…

"Chirp! Chirp!" said a little pink feathered harpy baby, Ocypyne, one of the seven harpy chicks, my daughter with Nephiana.

"Oh, look who just came?"

"Chirp!" said Ocypyne, waving her little feathered wings and flying a few centimeters, landing in my lap, at Belle's side.

"Do you want some steak, my baby?"

"Chirp!" said Ocypyne, nodding, she was drooling.

I offered the steak to Ocypyne as she bit into it. Unlike normal birds, harpies have human mouths, so they do not need their food to be triturated by their mothers, they develop their teeth rather quickly in their life, so they're ready to eat by themselves at days of being born.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp!" said a deep dark feathered little harpy chick, which left eye was covered on his hair, Caellaeno. One of the harpy siblings, and my little boy. 

It flew towards my lap, joining with her little sister and asking me for a bit on the steak. 

"Ah, Caellaeno, my little boy! Do you want some as well? Mommy will gladly give you!" I said.

I was hungry, but I could not refute my little children.

As Ocypyne and Caellaeno ate the steak, a bright green harpy chick appeared, my precious Nyphenne, she manipulated the wind itself and flew above the top of my head.

"Chirp!" she said.

"Hahaha, my dear, here, have some as well…"

As Nyphenne degusted the steak… more and more chicks appeared. The bright yellow feathered chick, Solyth, the dark purple feathered chick, Dereo, the orange and brown feathered chick, Nepharia, and the scarlet red-feathered chick, Uryphe. 

"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!"

All seven of the chicks jumped over my body, I was being showered in them… I drowned in their fluffy and colorful feathers as they ate all the steak.

"Chirp, Chirp!" said Nirah, imitating their chirping, although she couldn't really do it exactly like them.

"Siblings!" said Belle.

"K-Kireina, do you need some help there? Are you okay? You're completely covered in the harpy chicks…" muttered Adelle.

"No, I'm perfectly okay… this is heaven"

Though I had to escape from them a bit later and eat some more, I was getting hungry… through the whole night, they accompanied me everywhere with Nephiana tailing them, making sure that they would not do any mischiefs.
