Epic Of Caterpillar

-----

Kireina's one-hundred-meter-tall demon body infiltrated inside of Geggoron's Divine Realm, she was immensely tall, glancing at Geggoron, who was considered a giant being from above.

Geggoron raged, he could not accept that such an insolent mortal dared to enter through a rift in space to his Divine Realm. In all of his countless years of life, he never met such a creature.

However, he also felt fear. Immense fear.

He knew what Kireina was capable of.

He also knew what he did to her, forgiveness by her side was impossible at this point.

He could only fight to the death and hope for surviving.

However, he still held confidence. After all, Kireina infiltrated his Divine Realm, his world, where he was omnipotent. He could see everything inside, feel everything, and mildly control everything.

Perhaps it could be very dangerous, but there were many things in his favor… he could perhaps win if he goes all out.

After all, because he is inside his Divine Realm, he will not waste Divine Energy maintaining his existence on the surface, he is in his area of comfort, where he reigns supreme.

Fighting a god inside of his Divine Realm would often be seen as a suicide unless the attacking side is composed of several gods, a large group of at least a dozen.

The strength that a God could exert on the surface was a bit less than half of its original strength if he were fighting on his Divine Realm. The strength of a God fighting inside of his Divine Realm would often surpass his limits, as he is surrounded by his constant domain, surrounded by his primary attributes, which gives them a great boost in power.

Even then, Geggoron feared, as he was not someone good at fighting, he was a scheming god that liked to move the strings of things and control several vessels in the safety of his Divine Realm.

Being suddenly invaded by Kireina was like an FBI team raiding a neet that never gets out of his room.

He felt too shocked, and that fear made him exploitable.

Geggoron trembled as he flew away, making a distance from Kireina while harboring the Divine Energy within his Nightmarish Aura.

"Go away!!! I shall destroy you!!!" roared Geggoron. As his entire body unleashed a storm of black thunder and nightmarish phantoms towards Kireina, resembling a vortex of dark and sparking light.

Clash! Clash!

Kireina smiled with her gigantic head, which didn't even resemble her original appearance, but looked like a furious demon with several poking fangs, eyes, and horns.

"Try it. Chaos Cannon, God Devour," replied Kireina. Her energy converged inside her torso, as the large jaw on it opened wide. Her Aura, Mana, and Soul Energy merged alongside her Chaos Attribute and her 'God Devour' Skill effect, releasing a cannon of dark and crimson light, clashing against Geggoron's attack.

Clash!

Boom!

Both forces were not capable of resistance each other and detonated into an explosion that made the whole Divine Realm tremble.

Geggoron used the explosion as a distraction, flying around and separating his gaseous body, similarly that when he created Split Souls, countless, smaller Geggoron dissipated around the entire Divine Realm.

As long as he kept himself separated into pieces, Kireina would have a very hard time killing him, and the fight could be prolonged for a lot of time by then, perhaps giving him an advantage.

Kireina glanced as hundreds of smaller Geggoron flew around while charging Dream Attribute Divine Techniques and firing them against her.

She smiled.

"Oh, so you're going for that strategy?" she said, as her body began to tremble.

"Silence, you fool! You dared attack my Divine Realm! No matter how strong you are, you are still a mere mortal! Perish to the Divine Techniques of a God!" said all of Geggoron's split bodies at the same time, showering Kireina with attacks charged entirely by Divine Energy. 

"Venomous Soul Barrier, Aegis, God Devour, Chaos Cannon,"

Kireina's soul emerged from the orifices of her entire body, as it transformed into a purple and slimy substance that protected her like a bubble. She infused the effects of God Devour into the barrier and then fired Chaos Cannons through the barrier, which seemed unaffected by her own attacks.

"Ngh?! Megusan's Divinity! So you already learned how to use it? Well, you're still a mere insect, just like that critter!" roared Geggoron while not paying attention to Kireina's 'struggle'.

The barrier received all of his attacks as countless dark explosions happened, blocking Geggoron's sight from Kireina.

Kireina fired consecutive Chaos Cannons through the Divine Realm, destroying many mountains and the strange ecosystem inside while vaporizing some small Geggoron's split souls that could not evade in time.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Geggoron glanced at Kireina once again with hopes of her receiving at least a large wound, but it was certainly strange that she did not even shriek in pain or anything.

The bubble of venomous slime appeared completely intact the attacks seemed to have strengthened it.

"What?!"

"Were those Divine Techniques? They were feeble, even your vessels were able to hit harder than you, Geggoron!" laughed Kireina, raising her eight grotesque arms and summoning large Overpowering Suns, which she then merged with 'Eclipse and Dawn Magic' and her Chaos Attribute Magic, creating chaotic spheres of burning dark lava.

"Here, take some of these for lunch! Chaotic Sun!" she laughed, firing a dozen of 'Chaotic Suns' towards Geggoron's split bodies.

Flash! Flash! Flash!

"What kind of attack is that? So many attributes merged…!"

Geggoron evaded most of the attacks but a few of his split bodies were instantly annihilated by the attacks. Geggoron had divided himself into many pieces, and by infusing Divine Energy, he kept doing it almost endlessly… however, the pain of each piece dying was still present on his mind, making him dizzy and slow.

To make things worse, Kireina was destroying his entire Divine Realm, which he had worked so hard to raise, the monsters inside were being grilled alive, the dark mountains exploded into pieces while melting with the dark lava, and the black seas evaporated.

Meanwhile, Geggoron was constantly conjuring the small number of Divine Techniques he had at his disposal over Kireina, but her venomous soul barrier was just too strong… it seems that she had learned Megusan's technique of using his own soul as a barrier, but it seemed to have been perfected greatly by her. Even more when Megusan mostly used his soul to attack and coat himself with venom, not exactly for protection measures but offense.

Unlike the Demigod of Venomous and Long Critters, Kireina used such ability to create a bubble, by infusing 'God Devour' into it, it was capable of devouring the attacks sent into it and even strengthen itself by this.

"Damn it! She is not even struggling! If I had more offensive Divine Techniques… but they are so hard to come by! Creating scrolls is too hard! In all my years, I've barely created four!"

Divine Techniques were the main offensive source for Gods, they were special abilities that they were able to learn through Divine Technique Scrolls, which could be crafted by using Divine Materials harvested from Divine Beasts, Divine Plants, and Divine Minerals/Jewels.

Through working on their Divine Realms, Gods were capable of harvesting these materials and create scrolls for techniques through recipes that they created or bought from other gods. But the materials needed to create Divine Techniques for a Demigod were many. And because Geggoron did not actively look for Divine Materials in other Realms, he could only use the ones he harvested on his Divine Realm.

"Nightmarish Blaze! Nightmarish Blaze!"

One of his strongest Divine Techniques, 'Nightmarish Blaze', created giant spheres of dark fire that could burn through most things.

Other of his Divine Techniques was the Nightmare Thunderstorms Vortexes he created as well, through these required large quantities of Divine Energy, so he did not use them as much.

Kireina was deliberately destroying Geggoron's Divine Realm because she knew that this was the source of his strength, the more his Divine Realm quality and materials were destroyed, the more he would weaken, to the point that he could even decrease in Demigod Ranks.

Of course, she knew of such information from her allied Gods, specially Agatheina, who had taught her many things regarding Gods such as their weaknesses and fighting methods that often diverged from a mortal's common sense.

Frustrated about this turn of events, Geggoron roared angrily.

"GRAAA! My Divine Realm! Stop destroying everything, you scum! Didn't you come to fight me?!"

Geggoron then gathered all of his split bodies together to harbor the most strength and released his Nightmare Thunderstorm Vortex Divine Technique towards Kireina again.

"It seems that this worked better than I expected, this guy is easy to irritate," thought Kireina. Stopping her onslaught and raising her giant arms.

However, although Kireina seemed invincible in front of Geggoron, she was receiving a lot of help…

Inside of her giant body, her wives and children were giving all of their strength to her, while glancing at the battle through a small, pink-colored holographic window.

Through Kireina's [Calamity Abyss Demon Lustful Brain and Lovely Heart] Skill, she was capable of creating grotesque masses of hearts and brains, which were able to connect with those she had strong bonds of love.

Through this, she was able to carry on part of their strength. In the case of her children, since she obtained the 'Divine Energy Vessel' Skill, she was able to receive a bit of their Divine Energy, managing to strengthen her attacks and her Venomous Soul Barrier. All of this coupled with her already existing skills and powers seemed capable of holding back on Geggoron.

"Mommy seems to be doing fine!" said Vudia, as she was sitting over a mass of hearts and brains, completely unaffected by its disgusting appearance.

"Indeed, but the fight is not over, guu! Let us pray for her, let us give her all our strength to her, guu!" said Rimuru.

"Yes mommy!" said Ailine, touching the masses of hearts and brains while infusing her Divine Energy.

Ryo, Amiphossia, Valentia, Aarae, Belle, and even Nirah were doing the same

Even the seven harpy chicks were present, all of them cooperating and giving a bit of their power.

Kireina's wives were doing so as well, although they could not generate Divine Energy, their Auras had a bit of Pseudo Divinity, enough to give some strength to Kireina, their vast Mana pools were also helping Kireina conjure spells and skills that would cost way more than her max amount of Mana Points.

Flash!

The dark thunderstorms created by Geggoron flashed at tremendous speed, clashing against Kireina's Venomous Soul Barrier.

Clash! Clash! Clash!

"GRAAAA! You scum, my precious materials! You will die today, I swear to myself that I shall end your life, Kireinaaaaa!!!"

Geggoron, whose divinity was Hateful Distrust, seemed to have lost all his screws and entered in a berserk state. After glancing at his precious Divine Realm being so devastated, all of his riches being burned, he had gone completely mad.

"Good, that's what I like! Go crazy!" laughed Kireina, infusing all of her powers and those received from her family into her Venomous Soul Barrier and resisting the catastrophic nightmarish thunderstorm while slowly devouring it with 'God Devour'.

Her barrier grew stronger and stronger until she decided to mold it!

Infusing her Aura into it, her Venomous Soul Barrier took the shape of grotesque hands, and by using all of her Techniques and skills into it, the claw strengthened even further, clashing against Geggoron, and crushing pieces of its body.

Clash!

Kireina knew that because Geggoron was gaseous, physical attacks would be useless, but attacks using the materialized soul were effective, even more, when infused with God Devour!

"Ungh?!"

Geggoron suddenly came back to his senses due to the sharp pain, a chunk of his Divinity was taken away by a gigantic purple and slimy claw that surged from within Kireina's Barrier.

Kireina immediately devoured it without a second of a doubt.

"Aghh…! YOU!"
