Epic Of Caterpillar

As I was finally freed from my wife's love and obsessive hugs, we finally got to enjoy breakfast when my beloved and lovely children joined in.

Of course, this time I was the one grabbing, hugging, and kissing them around…

But I cannot help!

I guess the only ones that only get petting, and hugs are the cute trio of Beast Kings, Habitis, Ophois, and Maahes, I mean, they are big fluffy boys, they cannot get humanoid figures for now, so I only caress them like that.

But then I discovered that they could change their size and now, I have all three of them in cat-sized versions resting over my lap… And damn, they are so warm… And their fur is so soft…

I cannot stop petting these beautiful children…

I also had Nirah wrapped around my body with her tail, Belle sitting in my shoulder, Vudia sitting in my other shoulder, Ailine wrapped around my waist, and the harpy chicks all sitting around me while chirping and asking for attention.

It is arduous work to be a mother!

Ah, and my beautiful Scarlet is coming to join, so I guess I am getting triple wrapped soon!

"Mama! I want a hug!" said Scarlet, as she leaped towards me, her beautiful little scarlet eyes were charming and cute, and I couldn't help but shower her with kisses.

"Aw, my beautiful little girl! You are so radiant today, just as always! Mooch, mooch, mooch!"

"Hehe, feed me!" said Scarlet, as she wrapped her tail around me.

"Scarlet-chan also likes to wrap around mama?" asked Nirah.

"Yeah! It's nice!" said Scarlet.

I began to feed my little boys and girls around me as much as I could.

Sigh… I think I like serving those I love…

Eh? It was already obvious?

I am a simp for my family?

Eh?!

…Maybe.

But when you have such a precious big family around, you gotta enjoy it, right?

I am not a conventional evil god that just keeps thinking about growing stronger and fighting and grinding all the time!

You know that, sometimes, you gotta relax and just smell the roses for a bit, contemplate what you have achieved and how far you have come…

And of course, because I built such a big family, the fun never ends!

"There you go… A large piece of meat for the Scarlet-chan~!" I said, moving the fork with the piece of juicy meat as Scarlet caught it and slurped it in a single bite, filling her cheeks with it, she resembled a little squirrel eating the meat.

"Hmm! That was good! More!" said Scarlet.

"Alright… Haha… you are never satiated, aren't you? That was a giant whole steak there…"

Scarlet-chan is fairly strong…

Well, she inherited a lot from me.

So much that she even got her own version of Gluttony and Devour, and literally has a never-ending hunger.

Well, she was born immensely strong too!

Remember that time she fought Kinesis? She almost got him!

By herself!

If it were not for his big cheat, he would be a goner!

Imagine other gods without cheats…

Scarlet-chan will just eat them directly with her powers!

She is truly a mighty little girl!

Or boy?

Well, she has both genders, but she looks fairly feminine and is okay with any pronoun.

Good thing we gave her a mostly gender-neutral name as Scarlet, which just means the color of her eyes, scales, and exoskeleton.

"Me too! Me too, mommy!" said Vudia, as she opened her mouth.

"Oh right, my beautiful little princess! Here is your flan!" I said as I feed her a spoonful of delicious vanilla-flavored flan with caramel sauce, one of Vudia's favorite sweets.

"My jelly, my jelly!" said Ailine, demanding me, as I immediately obeyed my precious little slime princess, grabbing a spoonful of strawberry jelly and feeding her it.

"Nam, Nam… I can never get tired of flan…!" said Vudia.

"I like jelly… Especially the one made by mommies!" said Ailine.

Hahh… I live and fight to protect these smiles…

"Sheesh… You girls are way too spoiled!" said Amiphossia.

"Y-Yeah! I would… never do such a thing! I am a grown-up…" said Valentia while averting her gaze… I am fairly sure she would!

"Why don't you girls give a rest to mother? She also wants to eat…" said Aarae.

"Eeeeh? But onii-sama!" said Ailine.

"It's fine, it's fine… I can feed all my beautiful little girls before I eat. I do not have any problem with that! I feed on those smiles…" I said while kissing Ailine's nose.

"Hehe… mommy you're always so nice… But nii-sama is right…" said Ailine.

"Yeah, let's give her a rest…" said Vudia.

"Sorry, mama… Please you have to eat too!" said Nirah.

Eeeh?!

No!

Do not go away!

…

No, I think I do have to eat my stomach has already eaten itself like ten times.

"Sigh… Okay then…" I said.

As we kept eating, I quickly decided to introduce Andromeda and all the powerups I got this morning, including the new Path Jewel and my own copy-pasted System!

Everyone was pretty surprised by it… Like, very.

A lot.

"Yes! I SEE! KIREINA-SAMA WILL BECOME THE MOST SUPREME BEING IN THIS UNIVERSE!" said Agatheina, her fanaticism growing bigger and bigger with each day, when she got to know about me being the child of Chaos it was already big… now that I created a System through Laws and all, it is even more fervent now.

"Woah, relax… I know that it is one of my goals to do that, but relax, for now, Agatheina-chan…" I said.

"A-Ah… yes… S-Sorry, I was, perhaps, way too overly excited," said Agatheina.

"MASTA WILL BE THE SUPREME BEING OF THIS UNIVERSE, GUUU!" said Rimuru right after.

"O-Okay… no need to yell it anymore…" I said, petting Rimuru.

"A-Anyways, this is amazing in every way possible… How does all of that even just works?" asked Zehe.

"I don't know, I just know… That it just works," I said, while shrugging.

It was too complicated to explain… So I just said Todd Howard's most infamous phrase.

"And Andromeda-chan is very cute too! Is she a new auntie?" asked Vudia.

"Ah, Vudia-sama, of course. I can be your auntie if you so desire. I would be happy to serve the offspring of my beloved master," said Andromeda while petting Vudia's head.

"Nice!" said Vudia while smiling innocently.

"So, Andromeda, are you like the personification of Honey's System?" asked Zehe with intrigue.

"Not truly. But it could be said that I am somewhat of a personification too. I am her System Administrator, to say the truth. I can tweak and support her System. That is my work," said Andromeda.

"Amazing, so you are like a living artificial life form! Unlike I who could be qualified as a cyborg, you are truly a synthetic lifeform! Utterly amazing! Andromeda-chan, we must research together and investigate further into such mysteries that revolve around the intrigues of magic technology… My next step is Divine Technology, so join me!" said Charlotte, almost jumping off the table in excitement.

"O-Oh, you must be Charlotte-sama. I shall gladly help you in everything I can… I believe we will become good friends," said Andromeda cutely.

"Ah~ And you are so cute too! The perfect mechanical assistant!" said Charlotte.

I knew that she would be one of the first ones to "accept" Andromeda, or well, assimilate her into her group of researchers.

"Hehe, I see that Charlotte-chan got herself a new friend, huh?" asked Lilith while grinning.

"Andromeda-chan, could it be possible for us to share the System of Honey?" asked Zehe while rubbing her chin.

"Oh! It could be possible, yes. But Honey- I mean, Kireina-sama, needs to increase its power a bit more, and perhaps upgrade the Path Jewel a couple of times before doing that." said Andromeda.

"I see… So that's how it is…" said Zehe.

"But what benefits are there with her new System? What's so different? I don't get the hype," said Oga while scratching her head.

"It really had to be you… Sigh…" sighed Acelina.

"How can you not understand, dummy!" said Adelle.

"Eh?! Why are you treating me like that!" said Oga while getting angry… she was cute when she got angry.

"Okay, relax Oga, my dear. It is simple. The System, mine, cannot be taken away," I said.

"Hm? What do you mean, Kireina-chan?" asked Oga.

"Hmm… well, the System, the skills, and all we got, its bind to this world's laws, right? Some beings can manipulate it and even exert power over it. Sometimes they could even suppress it entirely…" I said.

"I guess this is where I enter for more explanations, don't I? You see, when Kireina went to eat the Origin Core Fragment, there was a Will of the World's Will inside, which had the power to manipulate laws and the system… That Clone suppressed the System around itself, and Kireina was left almost hopeless because she was not able to use any of her powers… Skills, Titles, Classes, even Stats to an extent… it all god suppressed as if she never had it," said Quinn.

"What? That is horrible! And since when you can talk so fluidly, little Quinn?" asked Oga as she petted Quinn.

"T-That's because I used to be a human before too! Well, I guess Kireina was never that neet then but was given such memories… well, this makes it, so I am the only otherworld here then?" wondered Quinn.

"Not really, I don't originate from this world, so I also count," I said.

"Eh, I guess so… (Wait, does that means that I can suck her mommy milkers without actually feeling weird out?! Nice! Ooh, now that's what I am talking about! I can't wait to squeeze and suck them good!)" said Quinn, she was thinking some very nasty things that I could easily hear using my abilities, but I ignored her for privacy matters… I suppose she is about to enjoy sucking my "mommy milkers"… Perhaps she still requires a bit of reeducation, huh…

  "Wait, that's horrible then, GUU! If we come across such an enemy… we all end as sore losers! We can't even use the powers we had been training this whole time…" sighed Rimuru.

"I would guess that it could even mean… death," I said.

"Eeeeeeh?!" cried, everyone.

"Death… no, it makes sense now that I think about it… Kireina-sama and Quinn were able to survive having their System being suppressed in such a scenario because they were only with their souls but… if bodies…" muttered Agatheina.

"I don't get it… can someone explain it to me?" wondered Brontes.

"Well, it is easy to understand. Several Skills support your body, right? Your strength, how your muscles are, your blood, even your heart… your mind too, right?" I asked.

"Yeah…" said everyone.

"Then what happens if all those Skills effects are suppressed… As if they never existed?" I asked.

"Oh…!"

"Uwah! That's horrible, wouldn't we crumble into pieces?!" asked Adelle.

"The more we grow in the System… the more dependent we become of it… Meaning that the easier is to kill us if certain powers are suppressed from us!" said Gaby.

"Damn, that's horrible…" said Nanako.

"Oh my… I wouldn't really like to see Oga becoming a mass of minced meat…" said Acelina.

"Huh?! Why me as an example?!" asked Oga.

"There are even worse things, like Rimuru who is a Slime, without the System and the magic effect sit grants, her entire race wouldn't even be able to exist, in the magic-less world of Earth, animals and living beings were all scientifically possible to exist, but Slimes are not… they are a living being who is greatly dependent in magic to exist…" I said.

"So I would become a puddle of slime!? Oh noooooo! Guuuuuu!" asked Rimuru.

"Puddle of slime…" said Ailine, feeling a bit terrified.

"Ah! Please calm down, I would never let that happen to any of you! So relax, alright? I will be giving my System to all of you… And also, when you finally achieve godhood, you will be able to use your soul better, and even with the System suppressed, you should be able to survive even as just the soul," I said.

"Phew! I was scared for a moment, guu…" said Rimuru, as I hugged and comforted her.

"Don't worry, I would never let anything like that happen to you… Alright, let's continue breakfast, today a lot of you girls are getting into godhood!" I said.
