Epic Of Caterpillar

"Damn it… Let's fuse!" Said Guubo, as he suddenly realized there was this option, even as all of them were weakened… He had not been able to bring out such a reason before because he knew that it wouldn't work. This was because conventional fusion like the one he once did with Wall when they fought against the Queen of the Demon Kingdom of Thanatos, the wielder of the Sin of Greed, was not too good now.

This was because of many reasons, one of them was that they were all way too strong now, to the point that their divine powers would disrupt with one another and just weaken them at the long run, the other reason, however, was because they would simply become a big target for the enemy, which would simply bring their demise even faster as they would simply become a massive target that just anybody could hit for some damage… and the Gale Bird Emperor specialized in multi-hitting, several fighters against him at the same time rather than a single big one was way better…

However, as of now, they didn't had many options, and had to do with whatever last struggle they could muster…! The Slime Family, Guubo, and Wall, decided to fuse, as they all approved the idea of Guubo!

SPLAAASH!

"Huh?!"

The Gale Bird Emperor looked in surprise as the slimes suddenly converged into one gooey mass of multi-colored slime! Their power suddenly unified, but their divinities started to crash against one another rather quickly! The power of the Slime Family to fuse together like they did was rather unique to them, and it was not something they could share with others, but they were forcefully fusing with Guubo and Wall, a rejection of their divinities and even origin cores was natural and expected, but the rejection was too much! The Gale Bird Emperor looked in surprise for a few seconds before deciding to slice them all up while they were all together.

"RAAAAH!" The Gale Bird Emperor roared, unleashing a massive vortex of dark winds against them! His power was incredible as it even distorted space around the vortex, and would surely bring demise to the slimes even if they were fusing, in fact, as they were just doing that, they were weakening themselves at the end…!

"D-Damn it…! Is this it?!" Muttered Guubo.

"K-Kireina-sama, I am sorry…!" Cried Wall.

"Uagh! Damn it all!"

"Come on, come onnnn!"

"Don't falter, push forward, you pair of cowards!!!"

"We can do it…!"

"Ugh, I am afraid… W-We can't…!"

"No…! Nooo!" The Slime Family roared with their various voices.

"I suppose I cannot turn a blind eye anymore… I have to waste some energy but… Rimuru?"

"I also will help them, let's shoot them a ray of hope, I think they're about to awaken something amazing…"

"Alright then."

Kireina pointed her finger at her slimes as she held the hand of Rimuru, both looked at one another and nodded, as a large quantity of primordial energies began to come out of their bodies, flowing together and converging constantly into a massive amount of energies, the combined pure primordial energies of Kireina and Rimuru became a large sphere of light!

Many of the Undead Gods in the battlefield looked at the scene in utter disbelief before what they were seeing, it was simply unbelievable. Kireina and Rimuru nodded to one another as they compacted this enormous energy sphere and then formed a ray of light with it, so fast it reached the slimes fusing together in just a split of a second, hitting them strongly, so strongly that they caused a loud explosion!

Several of them thought that Kireina just killed them for some reason, some even believe she was ruthless enough to kill those of her allies that would lose to a foe, but they were all completely and utterly wrong, as just a split of a second after their stupid thoughts, something incredibly wondrous happened, leaving everybody flabbergasted before the glory of the fused slimes!

BOOOMMM!!!

FLAAASH!

The Slimes received the enormous quantity of energy as they suddenly felt as if it was becoming easier to fuse somehow! Their souls were not rejecting one another and melded together like liquids with one another, and their bodies as well, it was all fusing together! How wondrously amazing…!

"A-Amazing!"

"W-What is this?!"

"Uwaah!"

"K-Kireina-sama! She helped us at the end…!"

"Let's not waste this opportunity, use this energy to push through!"

FLAAAAAAAASSSSSHHHH!!!

"W-What the…?!" Muttered the Gale Bird Emperor in surprise, as he saw the slimes converging together completely, as the sudden birth of a new Dao Fragment appeared within the converged Origin Cores of the Slime Family at the same time… It had the brilliance of something that unified everyone, someone that made people together, the meaning behind this companionship and bonds…!

"I can't believe it, did we just awakened a Dao Fragment of our own?!"

"Wow! No way!"

"A-Amazing! I can't believe it!"

"Kireina-sama, thanks for your help!"

"Let's not disappoint her!"

The Slime Family awakened a new Dao Fragment after going through such a big hardship, and thanks to Kireina's last little boost to their power, they were capable of channeling all their power together into something incredible. The power of this Dao Fragment continued to grow bigger and bigger, as it spread across Wall and Guubo, who fully converged with the Slime Family!

FLAAAAASSSHH!

Another flash of bright light hit the Gale Bird Emperor, as it was so bright and powerful it made him startled… He couldn't even concentrate to attack properly, and even missed some hits surprisingly!

The fused slimes converged into a single entity, a titanic slime, so big it resembled a moving ocean itself, standing straight in the middle of the dark skies, covered in armor of various golden colors, its body was so big and watery that it flowed around constantly, resembling an ocean by itself… The intimidating titan looked down into the Gale Bird Emperor, who was left speechless… And within the heart of this powerful slime titan, there was a Big Dao Fragment unifying everyone, this Dao was… the Dao of Union!
