Epic Of Caterpillar

-----

Zudig and Begudhur charged a combined blast of Divinities, which was coated in their Divinity Devouring as well, the power of such attack broke through the air itself, reaching Kireina in a mere instant.

However, right before it was to hit her, countless weapons of all shapes, forms, types, and elements began to float around her body, each weapon being as strong as Legendary Rank or above, with several of them being Phantasmal Rank.

Kireina's voice simply said 'Gungnir', as her Aura covered every weapon floating around her, connecting the essence of each weapon with her, and through such connection, she used several Skills at the same time, one of such was Gungnir.

Flash!

Every weapon suddenly turned into bright liquids, as they merged and twisted around as if they had come to life and simply desired to fuse completely. The fusion took less than a second, but the spectacle of lights made Hydros who spectated this inside of Kireina's Inner Realm release a gasp.

"What is that power…?! Kireina-sama, such might! Such strength…! And above all else, she is incredibly benevolent… have I gotten the lottery by gaining her favor? …I have never seen a mortal be capable of control and shape Divine Artifacts like that with ease! Even if the strongest one is simply Phantasmal… If they all merge into an enormous weapon like that… the power can reach the heigh of the Divine Artifacts and weapons crafted by Gods!" said Hydros in surprise and awe.

"Is she… planning on wielding such a weapon?! With such an enormous body… it should be possible for her!"

The weapons converged together into a single and gigantic structure, shaping itself like a long spear of pure brightness, releasing the colors of the rainbow alongside the dark and eerie shades of the world. All of such colors converged together into a single power, inserting itself into the newly created weapon… Gungnir.

Kireina grabbed the enormous spear as she infused a stream of endless energy generated by the strong Aura of everyone giving her their power inside of her flesh, such stream of power increased her speed to absurd levels, pointing Gungnir at the enormous blast of power fired by Zudig and Begudhur with a furious expression on her metallic and demonic faces that showed over her transformed behemoth of a body.

The blast of Divinities neared Kireina as Gungnir flew towards it as if it were alive, penetrating through the enormous blast of energy and breaking it in half, the two rays of power crashing against the walls of her second body which covered her domain.

"Huh?! Is that a Divine Artifact?! Impossible! Kireina is a mere mortal, how can she-"

Gungnir flew through the sky as if it were the judgment of the heavens, a Divine Tribulation sent to clash against Zudig and Begudhur's body, the sharp tip of the enormous spear penetrated their powerful breath and tightly clashed against the throat of the draconic head they created to release the attack towards Kireina.

CLASH!

"Nnnnghhhh! Uuaagghhh…!"

Gungnir deeply seeped within Zudig and Begudhur flesh as it began to suddenly release a destructive Aura inside of their fleshy and twisting bodies, such waves of Aura began to consume Zudig and Begudhur's flesh through God Devour, as their flesh began to fall apart into dust!

"W-What the?! What is this!?" roared Zudig.

"Cut it off, quickly!" said Begudhur, as both Gods converged their intent into their grotesque and converged body, quickly separating the area that held Gungnir and throwing it away, they quickly regenerated, but their souls seemed in great pain, cracked as if glass…

Begudhur and Zudig quickly ran away from Kireina's onslaught, as her fleshy body covering her domain kept firing at them various types of spells and projectiles made with their body parts, there were also giant arms floating towards them, viciously trying to eat them, but exploding after touching them.

While flying around the battlefield with their enormous body to regenerate, Kireina tailed them from behind, quickly going all out on them without a shred of a doubt. She enhanced her entire body with the enormous and overwhelming Aura, which Zudig and Begudhur could not simply believe to be coming from a mere group of mortals.

Using her enhanced body, she fired her very claws against them as if they were giant tracking missiles. The arms expanded into membrane walls to entrap their body parts such as tentacles or appendages in midair, immediately detonating in loud explosions charged with God Devour right afterward, beginning to cut pieces of flesh off Zudig and Begudhur explosion after explosion.

"Your cheap tactics are useless! We are the same now, Kireina! Our body can keep expanding endlessly! Destroy all the flesh you can, it is more effective as a distraction than any barrier!" said Zudig and Begudhur, as Kireina took their words as a challenge.

"Gungnir, come back," said Kireina, as Gungnir flew towards her like a spark of lightning, rotating around her enormous body incessantly. Kireina then grabbed on it and simply sent it towards Zudig and Begudhur for a second time.

FLASH!

"That Spear again!" said Zudig.

"No matter, let us use the flesh to intercept it, bear the pain! We can recover the damage with Uroboros!" said Begudhur.

Zudig and Begudhur expanded their flesh into tremendous masses, expanding them as membranes and protecting the rest of their flesh and soul behind as Gungnir clashed against it with a loud and thundering sound, releasing waves of Aura charged with God Devour, devouring ad eroding their flesh within seconds.

However, their plan worked, as Gungnir was deeply stuck within the mass of flesh, which they immediately cut away and regenerated.

Kireina, however, analyzed this conduct with great concentration.

"I see, so they're at a level near my shapeshifting… well, not enough, they're far from it. I've awakened such abilities three times already… Can they really be as resilient as they claim to be?" wondered Kireina, as she suddenly infused an enormous amount of her Divine Aura, infused with the Chaos Attribute into Gungnir, and then the Fire Attribute that she recently gained by eating the Unnamed Fire God released by Kheseerad, coupled with this came her Helios Skill.

Gungnir suddenly began to pulsate and release waves of energy all around, changing its shape and becoming sharp and demonic. It was as if its design went from holy to gothic. Its sharp tip grew deformed and malicious, and several fleshy eyes with crimson irises surged within the enormous spear, glaring at Zudig and Begudhur.

Suddenly, black flames with an intensity similar to that of Fire Attribute Divinity surged from within the spear, expanding across the flesh and almost instantly burning it all into roasted flesh which then turned into dust in mere seconds.

The spear releases a storm of black and purple flames and resumed its charge towards Zudig and Begudhur, clashing and dismembering their fleshy and grotesque body with a consecutive storm of stabbing and slashes, it was as if Gungnir had become alive and was seeking the nourishment of itself through the blood of its enemy.

"NNNGGGGYAAA! I-It suddenly changed!" said Zudig.

"The flames… the flames are too strong! They are eroding into our souls, Zudig! Unnnghhh! Gyyaaaa!" said Begudhur.

The flames released by Gungnir seeped into both of the combined god's flesh, burning and grilling them alive as they shrieked in agony… unlike Kireina, they lacked a strong resistance to different attributes and also… immunity to pain, distracting them many times through their planning and fighting.

The secret of Kireina's flesh is so useful as a living meat wall was that she lacked any sense of pain, she was able to feel the other senses, but the pain was simply dulled, or perhaps, the pain had become such a part of her life, that she was used to it to the extent of dulling it without any other help. The skill she possessed named 'Pain Nullification' only negated the pain inflicted by mortal attacks, but even Divine ones did not seem to make Kireina ever falter at all.

The two gods twisting in agony as they resisted the arduous pain for longer and longer, they tried to destroy Gungnir many times through their strongest attacks, but the spear was way too strong and resilient, and if it even was broken, it turned into metallic liquid and unify again in a split of a second.

The enormous weapon kept impaling their flesh and flying in every direction around their fleshy and monstrous body… and Kireina did not simply stand and watched the spectacle, as Zudig and Begudhur kept regenerating more and more, Kireina kept sending her enormous limbs towards them, exploding around them one after another, and by using her hundreds of eyes, she inflicted a hundred curses upon their flesh bodies. Although the curses healed in less than a second, as long as she kept staring, they would reappear over and over again.

Zudig and Begudhur released sparks of lightning and waves that distorted space, making Kireina take on a good distance from them to not receive their attacks directly, as she was currently shrouded into her soul, and it would be dangerous if the soul of her were to receive an attack charged with Divinity Devouring.

"GRAAAAAAAA!"

Zudig and Begudhur could not bear anymore into this situation, as they released their charged power into an explosion of black lightning, sending Gungnir away and breaking it into pieces… only for it to become liquid and unify back again, floating near Kireina.

"Uro… Uroboros!" said Zudig and Begudhur, conjuring the Skill as their soul and flesh devoured themselves… The soul regenerates its wounds and the flesh began to grow with more animosity and health… if one could call it healthy.

Kireina glanced at the scene with detail.

"So they have Uroboros… and are conjuring it more freely than how Begudhur did it… How did that monster even get that Skill? Anyways, it seems that converging together and then eating Kheseerad gave them a lot of Divine Energy… Chaos Cannon, God Devour," she thought, as she opened her chest into a grotesque and metallic jaw, releasing a cannon of Chaos Attribute towards the regenerating gods, flashing against their entire bodies with a loud explosion.

BOOM!

"UNNGGGAAHH!"

Zudig and Begudhur were caught healing by Kireina, even after he tried to use his enormous flesh to distract her and Gungnir, this only bought him a split of a second before she released a Chaos Cannon right into their faces.

The Chaos Attribute attack held the power to change and chaotically clash against the other attributes shrouded into Zudig and Begudhur, and because they did not possess the power of Chaos Attribute, they were not able to find a way to defend against it properly.

They only converged once again their flesh into immense masses and let them be fried alive while they separated themselves from it, rushing towards the walls in desperation, up until now they had been only defending themselves while seeking a way out of this prison made by Kireina, but such opportunities were becoming dimmer and dimmer as time went on, their entire souls were being cracked over and over, and healed over and over… it was a cycle that would quickly end the moment they ran out of Divine Energy.

Kireina flew towards them with great speed, surging with her Aura and shaping it as countless attacks, as enormous magic circles surged alongside them before her body, storms of all elements befell upon the two, rays of pure and holy light, spheres of burning flames, poisonous rains, thundering dragons, cannons of chaotic magic, amongst many.

Zudig and Begudhur defended as they could, raising their appendages and slapping Kireina's body while releasing cannons and curses charged with Divinity Devouring that barely worked on her.

To top it all, there was Gungnir who came after them when they least expected it, crushing their flesh over and over again in an endless slaughter of having their flesh separated into pieces constantly.

"Haaaahhh… This is… We are done for?"

"No… Keep fighting… Keep struggling!"

"Uroboros…! Uro… boros…!"

Kireina noticed as Zudig and Begudhur's movements faltered, as they used a strong wave of power to crush Gungnir again, crushing it into pieces and sending them far away… the spear quickly regenerated back to perfect condition, but it needed to travel towards them once again.

"Succumb already! This fight was decided from the beginning!" roared Kireina.

Kireina smiled as she expanded her body towards them, shaping it as a gaping and monstrous mouth filled with millions of razor-sharp teeth, bones, horns, eyes, tongues, tentacles, and many other aberrant body parts stuck together into a feast of horrors.

"Noooooo!!!"

"GYAAAAAAA!"

Crunch!

"YOU DAMNED MORTAL!

CRUNCH!

"GGggGGggYYyyyYYaaaAAAAaaaaAaaAaaA!"

Zudig and Begudhur tried their best… but they could not evade her power, they could not run away any longer… they felt as if their combined souls began to be munched apart, one bite at a time… Their consciousness began to feel sleepy, they were being eaten at last… Kireina was simply an unstoppable force.

Their lives began to flash through their unified minds, as they began to regret their weakness.

But just at that moment, within their consciousness, another mind suddenly awakened.

The two were suddenly given a stream of valuable knowledge about the Space Attribute Divinity, as before the last quarter of their souls and flesh were to be devoured by Kireina, they cut apart a large chunk of their combined soul and left almost their entire body for Kireina except for a little piece of flesh carrying their souls, space distorted itself as the flesh piece disappeared with the rest of their souls, and Kireina devoured the rest of what they left for her…

The tiny flesh piece appeared out of Kireina's domain due to this one weakening when Kireina went all out against Zudig and Begudhur a few seconds earlier… and somehow, they survived, quickly using their awakened knowledge and usage of the Pseudo Divinity of Space Attribute to appear outside of the dungeon and disappear within the vast Realm of Vida.

Kireina, however, devoured the last piece of soul left by them, which shrieked in pain and agony, nonetheless, being very convincing to her at that moment of exhilaration, and barely not realizing that a tiny piece of flesh, with a size not bigger than the head of an ant, had run away with the surviving quarter of the combined Gods soul.
