Epic Of Caterpillar

As I had finished taking a bath with my family, I was suddenly called by Gaia and Hydros from within Agatheina's Divine Realm, it seems that Levana had brought two Beast Goddesses, her sisters, which we're calling for my presence.

To be honest, I could not help but feel a bit angered.

Who did they think they were to call me like this?

They better share a nice chunk of their Divinity if they want my help, that is.

However, I know who these two Beast Goddesses are, they are the two that live in the Dark Steppes, alongside all of the other Demon Gods there.

Their unification despite their differences seems to be unique, completely due to their children.

This is because each child from each God is a different tribe, which thrived quite well in the dark steppes, a place filled with jungles, swamps, and rain, a rainforest if you may call it like that.

Many demi-human and intelligent monster races are living in harmony there, it is a bit amusing, amongst them there is the Rodent-kin Beastmen and the Land Turtle Beastmen, children of these two Beast Goddesses, Dhyellele and Savaphe.

So yeah, they are the Gods that want me to help them out with the incident going on there, an old God being sealed there that had begun to wake up and his power is affecting everything there, as well as Hephaestus doing some suspicious things around with his family.

I quickly wore some new clothes as I flew out of my castle, reaching high in the sky, as a rift within space opened, leading me to a world of eternal night, a crimson moon, gardens of monstrous plants and rivers of blood, Agatheina's Divine Realm.

I flew over the sky as I reached her dark palace, in the garden of the front, where a large table where many gods sat around enjoyed a teatime.

All of the gods present greeted me cordially, as Gaia and Hydros called me, near them, there was Agatheina and two beautiful Beast Goddesses.

One of them was small of a similar size to Vudia, not being over one meter and a few tens of centimeters, her figure was slim and agile, her hair was white, and her eyes glowed in bright gold light, she wore a cute dress representing the moon and the sky. She had mouse ears atop her head, alongside a mouse tail atop her butt.

The other was rather taller, nearing two meters, her entire skin was pale green and white in certain areas, her arms were covered in hard scales and she had a large turtle carapace in her back, she had long azure-colored hair and a mischievous smile. Her breasts were large and bounced every time she moved, while her hips were wide and sexy, a large contrast from the childish appearance of the other goddess.

"Ah, Kireina-sama, welcome!" said Hydros with a warm smile.

"Kireina-sama, sorry for having called you so suddenly while you enjoyed a time with your family…" apologized Gaia.

"No, I apologize on behalf of my granddaughter, she couldn't bear anymore and brought them with her…" said Agatheina.

"I am very sorry!" apologized Levana.

"No worries, who could these goddesses be?" I asked, knowing very well their names, I wanted them to present themselves to me.

The two goddesses, however, stood glancing at me as if they had seen a ghost.

It seems that seeing me in person always had some effect on Gods, although my enemy gods would simply hate me, other times… well, they would stare at me intensively.

"Err, can you speak?" I asked the two, as the little one finally stopped scanning my body with her golden eyes, while the larger one was still glancing at my chest.

"My face is up here, you know?" I asked her with a bitter smile, as the two finally snapped out of their strange state.

"U-Uwah! Y-You're Kireina, right?! K-Kireina-sama!" said the little mouse goddess, kneeling and glancing at the ground.

"Kireina-sama, m-my apologies!" cried the turtle goddess, doing the same as her sister.

"Don't worry. What you went through might had been the effects of my Aura, sorry about that…" I apologized, my Aura had evolved incredibly strong due to the many powers, divinities, and enlightenment Skills I have acquired, it was capable of almost automatically charm others, and it didn't even end at that, as it could also lead them through a 'path', bringing them enlightenment in various things.

Although it could also be that they found my body attractive. I cannot help it, I like my body, so I often wear provocative clothes, I enjoy the faces of people as they admire me.

Anyways, the girls finally spoke.

"I-I am Dhyellele… T-The Beast Demigoddess of Rodents…" said the little one.

"A-And I am Savaphe… The Beast Demigoddess of Land Turtles, it is a pleasure to meet you, K-Kireina-sama…" said the taller one.

Both of them were sisters with all of the other Beast Gods I have met, such as Morpheus, Maeralya, Marnet, and Levana.

"So you girls had insisted Levana-chan until she couldn't help but bring you two here? Don't you know how rude that is? Especially with your sister who has a lot of social anxiety…" I said, immediately scolding them.

"A-Ah… W-We are sorry, Levana-nee-chan!" said Dhyellele.

"We are really sorry, but this… this is very urgent, Kireina-sama!" said Savaphe.

"Sigh…"

Levana could only sigh as she averted her gaze from the two very annoying girls.

"So you forced her to bring you two here, just to speak with me? Do you know that it is also very rude to force my allies to do what you want? I would usually kill anyone that were to try to force my allies to do something against their wills, you know?" I asked the two, I was being mean with them so they cannot get cocky anymore.

And as I predicted, they began to tremble in fear.

"S-Sorry, please don't eat us!" cried Dhyellele.

"We are very sorry! But our children are suffering so much… We couldn't find anyone else with a heart so humble and generous such as Kireina-sama to help us out…" cried Savaphe.

"Good heart? Humble? Generous?" I asked.

Did I really give out that impression? Why? I have never been to any of those things.

"Perhaps you got things wrong? I am none of those things. I am actually quite a merciless person, and very evil. The entire Realm sees me as a villain… How can you think that I am a good person? All I do is always in exchange for benefits…" I said.

"E-Eh? I-Is that so…?" asked Dhyellele in a bit of disbelief.

"Kireina-sama… Evil?! It cannot be…! You've helped our siblings save their people and all!" said Savaphe.

"That was in exchange for many benefits, you know? They offered me a piece of their Divinities, their eternal servitude, their dungeons, and their entire population as well. In exchange, I would save their people and keep them safe, that was the deal. Do you have any deal in mind to have with me? I will not help you simply out of goodwill. Being the sisters of my allies doesn't mean that you're treated the same way as them…" I said, sitting down near Morpheus who was sweating nervously. I sipped some tea which had a delicious and fragrant taste.

"That is right, Dhyellele, Savaphe, you two never listened to my warnings!" said Levana.

"Now that you are here, you are not planning in going away without giving some compensation to Kireina-sama, right? Even as the siblings of her allies, if you don't satisfy her, you will be eaten!" said Agatheina with a sharp voice, her crimson eyes glowing with an eerie presence, as she released a strong bloodlust.

"U-Uwah! Please don't eat me, I am not very nutritious!" said Dhyellele.

"I-I am just a shell, not delicious at all!" said Savaphe.

Maybe I have exceeded a bit? Well, Agatheina added all of that though…

"Then? What do you have in mind?" I asked the two, as they glanced at each other, their lips trembling as their eyes were crying tears of fear… They are very cute, especially the mouse girl, so this is actually making me feel slightly bad. Maybe if they were pure humans I would not care, but I am really weak to monster girls…

Anyways, despite having these thoughts, I masked them in a sharp stare and a serious tone, I still wanted to extort the most of what they had before I was to help them. I want to grow stronger, so I have to play nasty.

"W-Well… If we offer the same things that our siblings did… Will Kireina-sama help us in exchange?" asked Dhyellele.

"W-We have made up our minds… And the Dark Steppes Gods seem to agree as well…" said Savaphe.

"Indeed, I will help you out and all of your little friends, as long as the rewards are given first. Don't worry, I always keep my promises and do my utmost to accomplish my goal," I said.

The light suddenly came back to the eyes of Dhyellele and Savaphe, as they glanced at each other with happiness.

"Now, as Kireina-sama said, you must give a large piece of your Divinities, extracted into the form of an Elixir. You must also ask every God within your Pantheon to do the same, without exceptions! Aside from that, your dungeons (if you have any) belong to her and will be conquered by her at its due time. Alongside this, you two, and the other Gods, must offer their eternal loyalty and servitude to Kireina-sama!" said Agatheina, working as my secretary.

"A-Ah! Y-Yes! We shall tell all of the other Gods…!" said Dhyellele.

"D-Do we need to give the Elixir now?" asked Savaphe with a bit of concern, I sensed a hint of fear within her eyes.

"That's right, now it would be the best," said Agatheina.

"Yes, it would also seal the deal," I said.

"W-Well… Okay then!" said Dhyellele.

"This will hurt… I don't like pain…" said Savaphe.

"I could also bite into your soul if you don't like pain, this would be way easier and faster," I said.

However, although it was a better decision, Savaphe's spine stiffened with fear, she did not like the idea of having her soul bitten.

"There is no need! I will extract it! I will…!" said Savaphe.

Dhyellele and Savaphe's souls expanded out of their bodies in front of everyone, as they were about to slice a piece of them, however, Agatheina seemed discontent with it.

"Stop right there. The piece you're about to cut is way too small. For all the inconveniences you've caused to Kireina-sama and my granddaughter, you should make it bigger," said Agatheina.

"I-Is… that so?" asked Dhyellele.

"I-I see…" said Savaphe.

"At least make it fifty centimeters long, and do it quickly, my lady is hungry," said Agatheina with a sharp, intimidating, and dominating voice. I did not stop her because it was convenient for me.

To be honest, if I were not being considerate of the Beast Gods who are my allies, I would try to ask them for almost all of their soul. Yeah, I have become quite voracious. I can always restore their souls with pieces of my own anyways.

"Agatheina… don't you think this is a bit…?" asked Morpheus.

"Morpheus shut it!" said Maeralya at Morpheus's side.

"Don't try to make a discussion here!" said Marnet.

"Oh? Morpheus, you've grown to be a good acquittance of me, but if you dare oppose what Kireina-sama mandates, I am sure that you're planning to compensate with your soul instead of the two?" asked Agatheina, with a devil smile.

"A-Ah… T-That's…" muttered Morpheus.

"You don't need to do this, Morpheus. Don't worry. Although the pain is there, it is just that, pain. I can always restore their souls later on by using my own," I said.

"B-But… Very well, I will give parts of my soul as compensation, so please, don't ask them too much!" said Morpheus.

"Morpheus, you fool! Your soul is already incredibly weakened!" said Maeralya.

"Stop it, cut it off idiot!" said Marnet.

"Yeah, don't worry, we'll do it…" said Dhyellele.

"Indeed… Those are our children after all… We need more resolve," said Savaphe.

"Oh? Splendid response…" said Agatheina.

Slash!

Slash!

The two goddesses then slashed large pieces of their souls, as they gnashed their teeth intensively, their eyes grew red out of pure pain, and Dhyellele broke into tears.

As their arms trembled, the two slowly melted the soul pieces into Elixirs, sealing them inside flasks.

"T-There… K-Kireina-sama…" muttered Dhyellele.

"It is… done…" said Savaphe.

"Fufufu, very well!" said Agatheina, grabbing the flasks and giving them to me.

Dhyellele's Divinity Fragment Elixir had a golden color, while Savaphe was pale green and azure.

"N-Now, if you excuse us…" muttered Dhyellele.

"We'll bring the other gods cooperation immediately…" said Savaphe.

"Very well, make haste," said Agatheina, as the two demi goddesses disappeared through rifts in space connecting to the special Divine Realm within the Dark Steppes, a place that was constructed by the Gods by giving pieces of their Divine Realms and sticking them into the area.

"Perhaps she was a bit harsh…" said Gaia.

"I-Indeed, but if it is for Kireina-sama, it was worth it," said Hydros.

"I believe that she did splendid work. Thanks for doing the work for me, Agatheina, I wasn't feeling in the mood to do all of that myself," I said.

"A-Ah! Kireina-sama, but of course! I would do anything for you! Anything!" said Agatheina with warmth and obsessed smile, blushing cutely.

Not many minutes went by as I chatted with everyone while Agatheina cuddled into my arms as the rest of the Divinity Fragment Elixirs came by Dhyellele's and Savaphe's hands.

"All of them agreed, Kireina-sama…" said Dhyellele.

"Here are… the rest…" said Savaphe.

A beautiful chest filled with colorful Divinity Fragment Elixirs greeted my sight, as my appetite grew larger and larger simply by admiring their divine auras.
