Epic Of Caterpillar

Chapter 594 - [Fated Encounters: Nyzzet's Labyrinth Conquest] 56/?: Zudig & Kheserad VS Begudhur Uroboros 2



-----

Begudhur Uroboros' flesh seemed to have become alive, like a vicious creature, it began to voraciously devour itself… but instead of it causing damage, his flesh began to recover at a fast speed.

​​

The same began to happen to his soul, recovering at an outstanding pace!

"What?! Impossible!" shouted Zudig, genuinely surprised.

Zudig glanced from atop the sky through the space opened by Kheseerad, as Begudhur Uroboros used a strange Skill that he had acquired through his metamorphosis or evolution, which gave it the ability to devour itself and then regenerate through the digestion of his own flesh and soul…

This skill was simply the same one as Kireina possessed, which she acquired through changing Classes to the Uroboros Main Class. It was the Uroboros Skill, not to confuse it with the awakened Devour of the same name, which she has hidden inside the Blessing of the System Master.

The Uroboros Skill was mysterious and incredibly powerful in its effects, granting the user the ability to self-regenerate almost endlessly as long as it kept devouring itself. It was indeed a grotesque and aberrant power, but it worked in Kireina because she had long lost any sense of pain both in flesh and in the soul. And she had also experimented in devouring herself before plentiful of times.

Her own Soul had mutated to gain the same effects, and then her Devour Skill inside the System Master's Blessing. And then, she even acquired the Class and Skill of the same name, finally acquiring the complete effects of such power… which Begudhur had acquired immediately due to his awakening into a Primordial Beast.

Zudig who had expected already many things were still blown away by Begudhur Uroboros' potential… he might no longer be a simple meal as he thought before.

"This is the first time that I see you genuinely in disbelief. Is this the power of the being that Begudhur has awakened into? Interesting… If I had a Divine Appraisal, the amount of information that it would reveal about him would be worth each number in Divine Energy Crystals…" muttered Kheseerad with greediness on his eight spider eyes.

"Can't you see that it is not simply the power, but the capacity of healing damage dealt by my Divinity Devouring, Kheseerad?! I am surprised… but my voracity has increased just by glancing at this! Now, I MUST eat it!" said Zudig in a vicious and voracious expression on his youthful human appearance.

In a few seconds since the activation, Begudhur Uroboros finished devouring himself and in exchange, digesting and then recovering itself. After such power was used, Begudhur felt that he had been reinvigorated, but that his Divine Energy had been spent as well…

"I cannot bluff with this as much… after all, it might be perfect healing and even a power boost, but the amount of Divine Energy it cost means that I cannot simply use it through the entire battle… I must try to escape!" thought Begudhur Uroboros, glancing at Zudig and then beginning to activate various Skills that he had in his possession.

"Divine Aura! Voracious Parasitizing Worm Hive! Divinity Devouring!"

Begudhur Uroboros activated various Skills at the same time that did not cost much Divine Energy or none at all, costing Mana and Stamina instead. However, thanks to Divinity Devouring, his attacks would be capable of inflicting damage against Gods even if they were 'mortal' Skills or Spells, just like Kireina could to an extent.

Begudhur Uroboros' enormous body coiled up and then from within it, the purple and devilish Divine Aura that had been reborn from his metamorphosis emerged, shaping as hundreds of gigantic wormy creatures, with gaping maws filled with spiraling razor-sharp teeth, screeching in anger as they flew towards where Zudig and Kheseerad were, the whole Divine Aura was then covered in a slight golden hue.

Kheseerad acted quickly and closed the space where he and Zudig were, making Begudhur's attack hit the walls and then flow across the dungeon biomes ahead, destroying and devouring everything.

Zudig and Kheseerad began to think about their next course of action.

"Now that we know that he can regenerate like that, you can't keep firing projectiles at him and slowly weaken him as you originally planned…" muttered Kheseerad.

"Open the gate atop his body, I will fall into him and weaken him with my claws, no more playing around!" said Zudig, as Kheseerad only remained in silence as he moved through the spaces, he created towards the position that Zudig wanted.

Begudhur Uroboros was even more enraged after his attacks did not work, but used the opportunity that Zudig and Kheseerad gave it to him whenever they hid inside the pocket space. Transforming the tip of his tail into the same jaws as his original head and then beginning to drill the dungeon's walls in the large room where he was currently.

After his metamorphosis, Begudhur Uroboros had acquired the ability to slightly shapeshift his own body, but it was limited to the capacity of creating more eyes across his body or more jaws with long and slimy tongues.

By using this ability, he took the opportunity given to him by the cautious gods to begin the parasitism of the dungeon… of course, this was the first time he had ever tried to do something like this, but he knew that his parasitism could affect not only the living, but objects or even magical constructs as well, as he had managed to free himself from the seal not because of Kireina weakening it, but because he used such opportunity when the seal was weakened enough to parasitize and destroy it.

Now, after acquiring a large amount of power, he had thought that such thing could be the only way for him to escape from these gods and Kireina, as even with all of his power, he knew that he would not stand a chance if Kireina were to show up as he fought the other two gods.

Through the repeated use of Divinity Devouring, Begudhur Uroboros used the jaw on his tail to slowly drill through the hard walls of the dungeon, made of a material often thought to be indestructible… but as he continued, the bricks simply began to break apart, and although they would regenerate quickly back to normal, Begudhur began to parasitize the bricks and walls, slowly but steadily managing to break through… if he were to continue for a few more minutes, he should be capable of manipulating a slight area of the dungeon and escape.

However, for that, Begudhur Uroboros could not escape anywhere else… But he was fine with this. His body was way too heavy and enormous, even though the landscapes of the lower floors of the Dungeon were just as immense, he still felt that his new body was barely fitting inside.

At this point he was mostly standing and simply evading a few attacks directed at him… with his current Divine Energy, he should be capable of activating the Uroboros Skill a few more times to heal himself… which he calculated were enough for him to finish the task of escaping and doing so hastily afterward.

"It's working… as long as I continue using Divinity Devouring in the dungeon… I should be able to parasitize it and control it! I can even send a bit of my consciousness to the parasitized area already…!" thought Begudhur Uroboros, as his rotten heart was filled with the hope of escaping.

As long as Zudig and Kheseerad continued their play of attacking from afar and then evading his attacks, he should be capable of creating enough windows to finish his escape.

Begudhur Uroboros then decided to expand his Divine Aura around himself, creating something similar to a Domain filled with thousands of enormous phantasmagoric parasitic worms twisting and entangling with each other as a barrier of sorts. This was Begudhur Uroboros' first attempt at a Domain.

Begudhur Uroboros' Domain expanded more as he kept infusing his Soul Energy into it while coating it with Divinity Devouring…

Kheseerad then felt a strange disturbance in space.

"Hm? It seems that he has created a Domain that has isolated the space where he is. It will take me some time to go through it, as space is disturbed and the traveling through it become slower" said Kheseerad. As he put a bit of his intent into the work being done, slowly moving through the barriers that isolated the space where Begudhur Uroboros was.

Begudhur Uroboros felt a bit of peace at once, ad kept in digging in the dungeon while parasitizing, his Domain was alerting him of Kheseerad slowly breaking through it, but the time he was getting was precious enough for him to not mind as long as he manages to reach his goal.

"Let me help you…" muttered Zudig maliciously, as Kheseerad opened a small space where Zudig emerged from within.

The first thing he saw was an enormous amount of phantasmagoric pink and purple-colored giant worms with spiral maws filled with razor-sharp teeth, which immediately sensed his presence that appeared out of nowhere and flew towards him viciously.

"GROWL!"

"GRRRAA!"

"GRYA!"

"Cursed Flames of the Nether! Soul-Eating Cold Flames of Purgatory! Divinity Devouring!"

Zudig smiled as he expanded the size of his large and scaled claws, suddenly, sickly green flames and phantasmal blue flames appeared on his claws, which he then infused with Divinity Devouring, giving them a slight golden hue that disappeared after the effect was put into them.

The Zombie Dragon Demigod pointed his fingers towards the enormous worms, which were, in fact, Begudhur's Domain, and began to fire a rain of giant, building-sized fireballs of sickly green and phantasmal blue colors towards them.

The worms opened their jaws as they began to fight against the large rain of flames of different colors, some managed to eat them, while others were consumed by them and dissipated into dust. Others detonated into immense explosions, making the Domain tremble and weaken.

Zudig then saw a loophole inside the Domain that he had created through his attacks, alerting Kheseerad.

The Space Attribute God then grabbed Zudig with one of his legs into space and then rushed towards the loophole entering Begudhur Uroboros' isolated space inside his domain, surprising him as he was still digging in the dungeon, just needing a few more minutes to finally reach his goal and escape!

"Ngh! That was way too fast!" thought Begudhur Uroboros, beginning to activate Skills and Spells to defend himself.

Although he had a powerful and strong body and enormous jaws that could pulverize most things, he did not want to risk his life by going in close quarters against Zudig anymore after seeing the abilities that this Zombie Dragon Demigod possessed on his repertoire. Despite being badmouthed and wild like a dog, he had a lot of special and rare Skills and Spells that surprised Begudhur more than one time.

"Divine Aura! Perfect Divine Aura Clone! Divinity Devouring!"

Begudhur then called into his Divine Aura and covered his own body with it, shaping it as himself and then releasing a perfect copy of his body made with his pink and purple phantasmagoric Divine Aura towards Zudig, who had emerged once again from within Kheseerad's space.

"Greeting me with a nice attack, are you?" laughed Zudig, flying out of Kheseerad's space and descending like a fallen angel, shrouding himself on his deadly, rotten, and decaying sickly green and dark blue Divine Aura, which exuded both poisonous energy, shuddering coldness, and phantasmal power.

"GROWL!"

Begudhur Uroboros' Perfect Divine Aura Clone roared, expanding its jaws towards Zudig and furiously biting him!

CLASH!

However, the Divine Aura Clone suddenly felt as if something strange was inside its mouth, growing larger and larger.

"Growl…?!"

"GAHAHAHA! That hurt!" laughed Zudig, his voice coming from within the insides of the Divine Aura Clone, growing larger and expanding the body of the Aura Clone into a morbid balloon.

"GRYYAAAA!"

Suddenly, the Divine Aura Clone began to explode in various areas from within its body, blue and green flames began to cover its entire phantasmagoric body, as an enormous jaw, that of a Dragon way over one hundred meters emerged from its back, devouring the phantasmagoric flesh, skin, and scales.

"Hmmm! Delicious! I wonder how much the real one will be!" roared Zudig, expanding his body even more and breaking apart the entire Divine Aura Clone into an explosion of phantom energy, glancing at Begudhur Uroboros from adobe.

Zudig's Dragon God form, an ability that he had acquired after eating his original body through David's body was one of his strongest Skills. It was a power capable of giving him an enormous body, to strengthen all of his capabilities by dozens of times, and to become equal in strength to a Divine Being of God Rank.

And much like Begudhur, he was also capable of shaping his own body to an extent, growing in size, or decreasing, or mutating it slightly by creating jaws on his limbs or tail.

"A transformation…? Its power… it is a bit similar to mine?! This… No matter what, I will survive! I will crawl! I will fight for my life…! I cannot waste it in here! I am bound for greatness!" thought Begudhur Uroboros, as he glanced at Zudig with concern, preparing to charge another attack.

However, right before that, a tremor filled the entire floor where this battle of godly proportions was unfolding.

BOOM!

Suddenly, an enormous metallic head, with the shape of an arrow-shaped black snake appeared, breaking through Begudhur's domain as if it were absolutely nothing at all, and then glancing from above through the enormous and spherical eye on the center of its head.

"Oh? It seems that a lot is going on in here… I almost didn't make it!" it said.

Zudig, Begudhur, and Kheseerad knew very well who this being was…
