Epic Of Caterpillar

-----

The Gale Bird Emperor quickly realized the value of some of the Dao Fragments he had acquired. However, he didn't shared them with Hel or anything, but kept them for himself instead. He looked into them carefully within mere splits of a second, as he realized there were many of them that could boost his power, so he immediately activated some of them infusing divine energy into them, however, there were also some weird ones he didn't knew what they could even do or seemed to not work properly.

"Dao of Summons? What is this?" He wondered, attempting to activate it… However, nothing came out, it seems he lacked enough comprehension in the Summoning Path to acquire the full capabilities of the Dao of Summoning Fragment…

Unlike other easier to use Daos that usually don't require much comprehension aside from their major Laws, there were certain Daos that used many Laws at the same time, or all of them. Such Daos could not be easily used by gods, as they required a very high comprehension of mostly all elements and also a specific "path", which sometimes wasn't possible for everybody… In fact, Kireina and her family were a massive exception which the Gale Bird Emperor was sadly not part of.

As someone incapable of using this Dao, he felt frustrated, as he thought that it could be very useful somehow. He required the comprehension of summoning yet he lacked it severely. While some simple Daos such as Decay, Windstorms, and even Tenebrosity required up to three Laws to  be used, the powerful Dao of Summoning required all of them… And this was specifically designed in this way by the powerful Primordial Deity of the Maxima Universe, who had designed the Dao of Summoning for the reason of utilizing the power of the Maxima Beasts and enslave them, inheriting this power to his descendants.

Because of this, it had very strict requirements that not any nobody could accomplish, this was to ensure that in the worst of the cases that somebody managed to steal a fragment, it wouldn't be able to easily abuse its powers! Like this, he was able to lock this Dao, even as a Fragment, not any nobody could easily utilize it for their own selfish goals. And the Gale Bird Emperor was no exception to this rule, the giant bird cursed the heavens in anger, but quickly composed himself and looked into other series of fragments… Some weird ones showed up.

"What is this… Dao of Path Jewels? Dao of…Defiance? I cannot use any of these small fragments, they have such high requirements, how frustrating…! Oh well, I still got some basic ones. I will just put them together into a cluster for maximum efficiency…" Thought the Gale Bird Emperor.

In mere seconds, the fragments aligned together into a cluster inside his Origin Core, they were all different from one another, but when he stuck them together their different energies fused together, forming a rainbow Dao Essence made up of many different types of Dao Fragments. This was a strategy that he didn't invented, all of Kireina's allies also used it as they had many little fragments piled up together.

All of this happened in just a few seconds, as the Gale Bird Emperor looked down into the battlefield, the Slime Family was very weakened, and being protected by Wall and Guubo, who was also barely hanging on… The fight had lasted less than a minute so reinforcements had yet to arrive for the slimes, but it's not as if they wanted more reinforcements, seeing how prideful they were of their own strength, it would be quite shameful for them to receive help in such a situation, even when it was the logical thing to do.

The Gale Bird Emperor looked down into his prey, they were not going to slip off his grasp this time around. His ruthless eyes shone with red light, despite having been ridiculed in the past, he was now someone frightening, a tyrannical being. Although the power he had was just given to him by Hel, who simply was using him as a puppet to fight Kireina and her allies, he seemed to be resonating with a power of his own as well. After all, no matter how sharp a sword can be, if the person doesn't know how to use it, it is nothing but a kitchen knife. The Gale Bird Emperor was masterfully using the powers given to him, and now, he was acquiring some fragments of his own…

FLAAAASH!

"Let's end this…" Said the Gale Bird Emperor rather ruthlessly, as he flew down below towards the Slimes with incredible speed!

CLAAAASHHH!!!

His enormous body impacted Wall, pushing her down! His enormous weight and size made it so his impact was incredibly strong and heavy, even Wall began to be pushed down, although she was able to easily break his body back then when she hit him at full force, things were different now, she was weakened after withstanding many attacks and the Dao of Decay was making her entire body slowly turn into ashes… All while the Gale Bird Emperor seemed to have just grown stronger through the entire battle… However, he knew he wouldn't be able to easily kill them, so his plan was another…

"I'll drown you into the sea of death, so you'll surely die! I have to make sure you don't come crawling back, slimes!" Roared the Gale Bird Emperor ruthlessly, his eyes shone with bright red light as his entire body emanated an aura of darkness and winds, the Dao Aura of Decay and Tenebrosity began to encompass almost the entire body of Wall, consuming her and slowly breaking her apart, her gigantic body was not being able to resist completely against his power, her attacks were being easily ignored and blocked, and the other slimes were thinking what to do, but they were being left without options…

"Damn it… Let's fuse!" Said Guubo, as he suddenly realized there was this option, even as all of them were weakened…
