Epic Of Caterpillar

The eggs were laid through my body, although not my reproductive system, but my own tentacles which I shapeshifted as grotesque and fleshy mouths.

They were created through a mix of alchemy, other skills, and the 'Mutant Chimera Egg' Skill, and were not born through any natural means neither were generated inside a womb, like an offspring I have in it right now.

Because I used the genetics of many of these gods but not exactly their seed, it could be said that they are something similar to a homunculus.

Both eggs were differentiated by their auras and small tattoos.

The one possessing the feline family blood and Moonfang's souls was the egg leaking a golden and fiery aura, which had the tattoo of a golden flame.

And the one possessing the canine family blood and Sunclaw's souls was the egg leaking a silverly black aura, which had the tattoo of a dark moon.

Of course, because there was my blood in there, I felt a natural connection with both eggs, and their Auras themselves showcased something similar to mine, perhaps they inherited something from me.

"Names…? I think we should leave that to you, Kireina," said Marnet while sighing in relief.

"In other things… when will they hatch?" asked Maeralya.

"Interested in their appearance, are you? These eggs were specially created through the combination of many of my skills and your blood, they are not conventional fetuses, and will develop at an incredibly fast pace… they will be born in around a week at most, but it could happen earlier" I said.

"I wonder why did Kireina-sama choose to make them into eggs?" asked Mohini.

"Because it is an easy and convenient way for them to form without me having to carry them inside of my bodies, I am already carrying a child, you know? And I doubt that any of you was in the mood to carry children inside your womb" I said.

All the girls present seemed to agree, many of them were the mother of thousands of children, they did not want to carry any more for now… even Mohini.

"Yeah, well, I guess it is fine… but this all was pretty sudden, we are having a new child with someone like Kireina-sama?!" asked Eifert.

"Yeah… the most bizarre thing is that all of us present are the parents of these children," said Haruko, finally recovering from her nausea.

"Hm, isn't it good? Now we can all deepen our bonds, can't we?" I said while laughing, I sat down in a chair I produced instantly with my golem creation skill and glanced at the eggs with my Mystic Eyes.

Inside the eggs, there were two large fetuses, although they seemed like any other fetus, they were too big to be born as a normal beastmen.

The eggs were around one meter in size each, each fetus being around the size of an adult cat while still developing at an immensely fast pace.

Moonfang's child seemed to be a kind of lion, while Sunclaw's child seemed to be a kind of wolf… but their species were still redeveloping, so Appraisal could not truly tell what they were for now… and perhaps due to them having Divinity by being created through the blood of Demigods and Living Deities, their species might not even be shown even after being born as I cannot appraise gods.

"They will be born big and vigorous, that's for sure," I said.

"But what name should we give to them?" asked Maeralya as she patted Cathin's head, he was still unconscious.

Habitis soul appeared from within Cathin's pendant at this time.

"So my family will be born in… that egg?" she asked.

"Yes… do you want to join them? I think it would still be possible to fuse your soul with them…" I said.

"Ah! N-No… not interested…" said Habitis while stuttering.

"Oh well, you lost the chance of being reborn as something very strong… for now you have two options, Habitis, you can become a cursed equipment for Cathin, or be reborn in the body of a humanoid chimera…" I said.

"Only these two?! I can't become a… normal beast-woman?" she asked while worried.

"Well… you can, but it would be incredibly weak compared to a humanoid chimera like Mao or Izumi. You have to think that if you want to be useful to my Empire and protect Cathin, you have to become a powerful Chimera possessing the blood and body parts of many strong monsters… But if you want to be a beast-woman, it should be possible to put your soul into the soulless young fetus of a pregnant woman I suppose…" I said.

Habitis became confused and concerned by the many possibilities she had in front of her.

"Can I… be born as something similar to them?" she asked, pointing at the eggs.

"I think I could do it by using the residual blood and other things, but it will end up being a merge between both families… you will also technically be Cathin's daughter as well…" I said.

The other gods seemed to think that this could be a nice way to connect their bloodline, even more, she could also be the little sister of both of these giants that were slowly growing inside the eggs.

"Are you sure about this, Habitis?" asked Maeralya.

"Yes, Maeralya-sama… I've done many horrible things since I was taken by Geggoron, being reborn as someone new might be able to cleanse my memories and also… to become a better person and help Cathin and the rest," she said.

Habitis was the eldest sister of Cathin, the one we encountered the first time we crossed paths with Cathin, she was crazy back then, but after Geggoron's split soul was separated from her soul and eaten, she slowly regained her memories and began to repent to all the horrible things she did.

In a way, she wanted not to be just reborn, but also to have her memories mildly cleansed through it.

"While Cathin is still sleeping… Let's do it…" said Habitis.

Cassamia, Cathin's maid and guardian decided to speak.

"Habitis-sama… is this what you really want?" she asked.

Kamuris, the white tiger guard also awakened from the daze of the goddess's charm and decided to speak.

"But princess, you truly want to… forget it all?" he asked.

"Yes… or at the very least, even if it's not complete cleanse, to feel anew again… it might be… a bit selfish of me, now that I think about it," she said.

"Not at all. I will pour the blood that my servants inside of my body wanted to give to your new body as well" I said, as Mao, various Vampires, Caterpillar, and other chimeras appeared all over my body.

The gods were terrified once again.

"Eh?! How can she do that…?!" asked a Living Deity.

"Can I give my blood?" asked Wall, glancing at me with her cute scarlet eyes.

"You don't have blood, Wall… but I could use parts of your body"

"Alright!" she said, taking out pieces of her slime-like body.

"Let me help as well, a new sister is about to be born!" said Caterpillar, giving her green-colored blood.

"Me too"

"Me as well"

"Please, don't mind my blood"

"I have a lot of blood. So have it"

The rest of the Vampires and Chimeras also helped…

Habitis soul began to tremble.

"W-Wait a second… isn't this too much-"

"It is enough, now hop in before you go back in your words!" I said, grabbing Habitis's soul with my aura and putting it inside of my body.

"Wait, Kireina-sama isn't this a bit-" asked a Living Deity, as he was quickly shut up by Maeralya.

"Don't worry" she said.

There, I used all the materials given to create another around the one-meter tall egg with Habitis's soul… but because her soul seemed rather weak compared to the new body she was going to inhabit, which might give her some difficulties, I decided to add some more souls that I had in my Inner Realm: Soul World.

I gave it a piece of my own soul as well, as I wanted to do some experiments.

The egg was 'vomited' again through the mouth of one of my tentacle arms, this time, everyone had their sight elsewhere so they would not get nausea or want to puke over the disgusting scene.

This egg possessed the tattoo of a scarlet eye, and was just as big as the others, sitting in the middle between the two.

"We can name it Habitis, right? But the other two…" said Maeralya, thinking about names.

"No, I think Kireina-sama should name them, right?" asked Marnet.

"But what names should I give to them, perhaps the names of the gods of my world…"

I began to browse through the limited knowledge I had about Earth's mythology, which I mostly acquired due to playing many games featuring such beings, especially gacha games, they loved to make mythological gods and creatures as summonable heroes or world bosses.

If one is a lion with a fiery and golden aura, and the other is a wolf with a dark and phantasmal aura, then… 

"Although they have been just born, I can tell that Moonfang's egg will be a female, while Sunclaw's will be a male. I can feel that both will be born incredibly strong, dominating battlefields… the Lioness shall be called Maahes, while the Wolf shall be called Ophois"

Both Maahes and Ophois were Egyptian gods of war.

Maahes was a lion-headed god of war, protection, weather, and many other things, it was the son of the Feline Goddess Bastet and the Creation God Ptah. His symbols were the lion, the knife, and the sword.

In the gacha games I played, it was often portrayed as a muscular andromorph lion-headed warrior carrying large swords and knives. However, because this Maahes is a girl and it will most likely look less humanoid and more beast-like, her appearance will vastly differ.

And Ophois was another Egyptian god related to war but also death, he was sometimes considered the son, the sibling, or an alter ego of the well-known Anubis. Son of Set, the God of Desert, Storms, and Disorder and Nephthys, the Goddess of Mourning, Night, Childbirth, and other things.

In the games I played, Ophois was often made into Anubis's twin and paired with him. Often portrayed as a white wolf while Anubis was the dark jackal. They were always in humanoid forms, with bare chests and carrying weapons such as hunting arrows, or even a scythe.

This Ophois will most likely not look like the one in games at all, but it does have some relation with it as its aura seem phantasmagoric.

"Those names sound… very good, although I don't know what they mean?" asked Marnet.

"If Kireina-sama says so, they're good for me," said Maeralya.

"Yes, I suppose…"

"Well, you two already know most of where my soul came from. In this other world, Maahes was a lion-headed god of war, while Ophois was a wolf-headed god of war and death" I said.

"Oh, I see… it does fit then," said Marnet.

"Indeed," said Maeralya while nodding.

"I wonder… where should the eggs stay?" asked Cassamia.

"Well, that would be left to Kireina-sama to decide… but they seem to not need the incubation warmness of anything, as they are exuding with energy," said Maeralya.

"It might be dangerous to leave them in here with so many strong gods. What if any of you trip over them and destroy the eggshells? I will carry them to my castle and build a proper area for their incubation there" I said.

The gods seemed to agree, and some even laughed, they were gods, but some seemed to relate to what I just said…

"Sigh, I never expected to have the first child with Kireina-sama… Agatheina might get very angry…" said Maeralya.

"Indeed… even more, if she knows that each of our children is also technically their parents…" said Marnet.

"Don't worry, I will tell her in advance and… deal with her tantrum" I said, as I grabbed the three eggs with my tentacles and put them in a warm, slimy, and fleshy membrane sack that I created with the tentacles.

Maeralya opened a portal as she let us descend to my Empire again.

"Come back any time you want, Kireina-sama!" said Maeralya.

"You're welcome in my Divine Realm as well, so take a visit whenever you feel like," said Marnet.

"Okay~ I'll think about it," I said, carrying everyone else that accompanied me in a magic bubble, Cathin was still sleeping while being carried by Cassamia, Haruko and Eifert seemed exhausted for some reason Kamuris was sighing in relief.

After I went back to my castle, my wives were surprised as I brought three eggs.

"So in resume, these are my children with Maeralya and Marnet's family," I said, being as honest as possible.

"…WHAT?!"

It was a long night trying to explain things properly, and even a longer one when I had to calm down Agatheina's jealously over what truly happened.

But things ended smoothly at the end, as I was good at smooth-talking people with my Mirage magic.

Of course, for my wives, I decided to give them a lot of love and passion this night so they could be satiated and relieved. Dividing my body and sharing the soul and the mind made it even easier to handle them all at the same time without them needing to take turns, it was an amazing experience.

Blaze wanted to join in, but she was expelled from the room.
