Epic of Caterpillar

605 Fated Encounters: Nyzzet\'s Labyrinth Conquest 67/?: Dividing the Meal!

"What? Kheseerad?! That is the cry of Kheseerad! Huh? What have I been doing?! Ungh! My head… My entire body has mutated?! This is… Begudhur\'s powers are dwelling within my mind! That bastard does not want to be digested yet?! I won\'t let you take over me!!!" roared Zudig, as he realized that his lack of sanity was due to Begudhur, who had mildly survived inside of his soul and was trying to drive Zudig insane through his parasitism.

Zudig glanced at his very soul, as he saw the greyish, sickly green and dark blue mixing with purple and pink colors, which were Begudhur, however, instead of it being completely assimilated, Begudhur\'s soul was slowly struggling to take control over Zudig instead!

"You bastard…! I have already eaten you, die!" roared Zudig as he infused more of his power into his very soul, making Begudhur\'s soul, which was tightly merged with his tremble and then roar, showing that he was still alive.

"Grrrraaaaaa! Zudig! You damned rat! I will not die! I will not die in here! I am destined to greatness! I am destined to devour the world! Starting with you!"

Zudig and Begudhur began to battle against each other despite having been merged as one already, both minds clashing against each other relentlessly as Zudig\'s flesh kept expanding endlessly, while seeking the gods to nourish itself, most likely be taken over by the most primal instincts of both Gods while their main minds fought for the control of their body.

Kireina noticed as Zudig regained his sanity for a few seconds before resuming his insane growling again, Begudhur seemed to be still alive inside of Zudig\'s soul, and he was fighting against Zudig\'s mind to take control over the body instead of the Dragon Zombie Demigod in an incessant battle of monstrous gods.

Kireina, however, told her family and servants to fight against Zudig\'s body and to distract him while she extended her tentacles towards where Kheseerad\'s Pocket Space exploded, glancing as the spider-like God emerged from the smoke with severe wounds on his body. Such wounds were caused through God Devour effect infused into the materialized Dragon Breath of Acelina.

"Ungh… Haaahhh… Agh!"

Kheseerad desperately tried to create a new Pocket Space to escape into, but he was not capable of it, and he could not escape into his own Divine Realm, as he would have to first settle in a designed space before even begin moving it, which took a lot of time.

"Kheseerad, I told you that I wouldn\'t give up on you!" roared Kireina.

Kheseerad glanced at the monstrosity before him with great fear, he could not help but skip several beats on his jewel heart. The monstrosity that Kireina was had inflicted the greatest fear on Kheseerad\'s heart since he had been born and fought in this world, the power to actually devour gods and kill them was something too frightful for him, someone, that enjoyed the commodity of his Divine Realm and his special abilities to harvest the lives of others with ease through traps or by raiding their homes with others like himself…

But now, it was as if all the suffering he had caused to those gods that only desired to live peacefully on their Divine Realms and were suddenly invaded by him, and the recruited gods came back to him…

He could not help but throw everything he had before falling, he would fight and crawl, like any other living being that desired to not die…

"Take it all then, Kireina! Take it all!" roared Kheseerad, opening the portal to his Divine Realm and releasing Divine Beasts of the Space Attribute, whose forms and appearances seemed twisted and strange, some resembled enormous octopus with countless and oozy tentacles alongside slimy blue skin and yellow eyes, while others resembled spheres of glass with fleshy organs inside… and others seemed like mosaic paintings, resembling cubes, spheres, and pyramids made out of jewels or other materials.

Such mysterious Divine Beasts began to rampage everywhere as they flew through the air with their natural ability to levitate. They used their attacks to distort space and inflict damage to Kireina, although most damages were absorbed with her Aegis enhanced with God Devour, their distraction was notorious enough for Kheseerad to find a way to escape Kireina\'s grasp, at least for a few seconds.

"You rat, don\'t dare run away again!" roared Kireina in genuine anger.

"Don\'t worry, Honey, we got it!" said Zehe, as she and the other girls controlled the mechanical giant and flew right in front of Kheseerad.

"Gyaaa! Again, you! I will not let you do as you please! I am not some kind of sacrifice for your master!" said Kheseerad, as dozens of Space Bullets rose from within the space surrounding his wounded body, firing them towards the giant black and dark blue-colored mech giant.

Flash! Flash! Flash!

"Shadow Space Distortion!"

"Illusive Barrier of Assimilation!"

"Illusion Materialization!"

"Dark Night Barrier, Dark Nigh Barrier, Dark Night Barrier!"

"Great Psychic Eyes Barrier!"

The five girls conjured five different spells together, converging their powers and effects through the claws of the mechanical giant, as dozens of magic circles resurged around it and conjured the powerful combined spell, creating a large barrier that covered their body completely, making the Space Bullets explode into it, only slightly distorting it due to Zehe\'s ability to control Space to an extent, canceling the effects of Kheseerad\'s attacks.

"Damn it all! You bastards!!! Divine Aura! Space Aura Domain!" shouted Kheseerad, running low in Divine Energy and choosing to use his Aura and create a Domain around him, which worked as something similar to an armor rather than a domain due to his weak state, which he used to take on the mech\'s claw attack, which hit Kheseerad\'s barrier and almost cracked it.

Zehe glanced afar as she noticed Kireina taking out the dangerous Divine Beasts, destroying their souls and eating them one by one while leaving their corpses falling to the ground, she was still busy, and still could not let go of the work of creating domain layers because Kheseerad could still use such opening to somehow escape.

"Space Wave! Space… Wave! Haahhh…!"

Kheseerad kept fending the girls away barely every time, by constantly using his own soul as fuel this time, and conjuring Space Wave, distorting space and creating a wave that could deal a notorious amount of damage if it were to hit him.

"Kheseerad, you\'re not getting away!" roared Acelina, as she infused her Aura alongside the rest of the girls into the mech, shapeshifting it into a dragon-like metallic behemoth.

"Shadow Mirage Dragon Breath!!!"

The enormous dragon breathed mystical dark and pink flames, rushing inside of Kheseerad\'s domain, and making it begin to shake.

"Ungh! Not again!" cried Kheseerad, running out of his own domain as it exploded right on his butt, taking out a large chunk of his jewel body, which began to leak a blue and green ooze from its insides.

"Aggh…! You bastards! I will not forgive you… I won\'t forgive you!!!"

Kheseerad roared in anger, his entire body was wounded and weakened, he had almost run out of Divine Energy and Kireina had just finished dealing with more than half of the Divine Beasts, leaving the rest to her family and allies, and rushing towards him!

Could there be any way for him to survive now?

"Kheseerad, you will never run away from me any longer!" roared Kireina.

"You go for it, Kireina-sama! Show that bastard what we are made of!" said Hydros floating near the walls of flesh far away from the battlefield.

"Ungh! Hiiiiiiii! Go away!" cried Kheseerad, trying to run away but having his route always blocked by Zehe and the other girls through the enormous metallic giant that kept on attacking him.

"You\'ve already irritated me enough, Kheseerad!" roared Kireina, munching on Kheseerad\'s body and seeping her razor-sharp teeth into it.

"NNNGGGYAAAA!"

As Kireina approached Kheseerad to finally eat him. Zudig and Begudhur internal fight suddenly came to a halt, by quite an unexpected outcome, Zudig had managed to devour one of the Unnamed Gods, the Unnamed God of Thunder, as Kireina was way too busy trying to deal with Kheseerad while also producing layers of Domain, and her family and allies were making sure to keep him in check, but were being slowly overwhelmed, nonetheless.

Zudig and Begudhur devoured the God of Thunder, who resembled an Ogre God with yellow skin and made entirely out of thunder, its essence and power were digested by both, as such effect and exhilaration woke them up from the incessant anger and enlightened them.

"If we continue like this, Kireina will use such opportunities to devour us both anyways…!" muttered Begudhur.

"We must procure our safety and escape! We can decide who will eat the other later, our survivability must be secured at all cost!" said Zudig.

Both savage and selfish gods had suddenly changed their natures to those of more cautious, for some reason, after devouring the Unnamed God of Thunder, their thoughts became faster and they were able to think things ahead by a few seconds, gaining a greater insight of their sense of self through the exhilaration of the power rushing through both gods\' souls.

"Kheseerad, that God is way too important, we cannot let Kireina eat it at all cost, if we do, she will become unstoppable!" said Zudig.

"You\'re right, we\'ll devour him instead!" said Begudhur maliciously, as both gods worked together in the same grotesque body, suddenly shaping it into an arrow-like shape and enhancing it with their newly acquired Thunder Divinity, flying at a fast speed that none of Kireina\'s allies could properly match and even surprising Kireina, who was using a large number of her thoughts and mind into maintaining the layers for Kheseerad to note scape her Domain.

Flash!

Kireina approached Kheseerad already, biting on the side of his flesh right before Zudig and Begudhur showed up, stealing the rest of Kheseerad\'s body from her jaws, and devouring it whole in a single gulp.

"Sorry, Kireina! But we will not simply let you grow stronger in front of our noses!!!" said both voices of Zudig and Begudhur, as Kireina was left without completing her meal, only having devoured half of Kheseerad instead.

"No matter! Whenever I eat you two, the rest of Kheseerad will be devoured alongside it…" said Kireina, as she suddenly let go of most of her Domain Layers now that Kheseerad had died, although Zudig and Begudhur might inherit his powers, they would need several days of development and practice, unlike her, who was capable of stealing the knowledge of the gods she ate, which she had done partially to Kheseerad, mildly acquiring a few of his Divine Techniques, which she needed to transform into Spells for her to properly use.

"I would like to clash more against you, Kireina! But I am not interested in wasting my life away!" roared Zudig and Begudhur together, shaping their monstrous body into an enormous mass of flesh and clashing against the fleshy walls that covered the battlefield like a dome.

Since they devoured the leftover half of Kheseerad, they felt a new rush of power through their combined souls, Kheseerad powers in Space Attribute had appeared inside of their souls! However, they immediately noticed that they needed a ton of practice to even use it properly, they could not count on that power to escape, and decided to simply begin devouring and destroying Kireina\'s flesh walls to generate a loophole and run away as fast as possible!

Kireina felt as her flesh was beginning to be devoured by Zudig and Begudhur, and she could not do anything else than fighting back through her same brute and primitive means, devouring him back through Uroboros while also devouring herself to regenerate at a fast speed!

Zudig and Begudhur began to do the same, as the climax of a fight of monstrous, amorphous, and twisting flesh monsters unleashed!

"Gahahaha! Who will devour the other first, Kireina?!" laughed Zudig and Begudhur, bluffing their way even though their true intent was to escape.

"The moment you dared to insult my family was the moment that your deaths had become a confirmed fact in this world! Without Kheseerad taking on my attention, I will not go easy on you anymore! Everyone! Come back!" said Kireina, as her family and servants flew towards her as they entered her flesh, while Hydros did as well, as he didn\'t want to fight Zudig or Begudhur.

Meanwhile, the Unnamed Earth God released by Kheseerad previously was moving around like a mass of mud, silently watching the battle.

"Free at last… Kufufufu… That damned Kheseerad got what he deserved! And these abominations… I wonder who will win and who will lose? I will pick the side of the winner, of course…"
