Epic of Caterpillar

Chapter 988 - New Formation

[Day 335]

Today in the morning I woke up with Lazuli and Blaze sleeping at my side… No, I had not done anything to them! I think they came here in the morning for some reason.

Perhaps they wanted to cuddle with me? Aw…

The two of them looked rather cute, very cute in fact.

Blaze\'s story has already been dealt with for the most part, but Lazuli… she\'s still pending.

In the Realm of Ice and Snow, Niflheim was where her mother lived, and where her sister had settled her up to become a sealed monster instead of the living deity she originally was..

There was also this mysterious God that sealed her… I wonder who was that? It was a God with the power of sealing, enough to seal a divine being into the body of a mortal monster.

No, he didn\'t insert her soul into it, but sealed her very body, regressing it to the point of being a mortal… Such power was terrifying, and I couldn\'t imagine how I could even fight against that.

What if I fight him and suddenly get trapped by his sealing chains and become a Caterpillar again?!

Wait, that would be awful.

And actually, I might have a lot of ways to fight that, or at least to not let that happen to me… And the thing is, I still got more bodies spread through my Divine Realm as well, so even if the main body I use to fight dies in a battle, I can easily spawn once more in my Divine Realm with another body clone.

Yeah, I might lose stats, but it is better than dying.

So if we apply that logic to the sealing power that guy had… he would have to somehow be able to also seal my Origin Core powers, my Path Jewels, and also my Divine Realm.

It was said by Lazuli that her Divine Core was stolen from her soul, so that could happen to me…? but not like I would let him.

Anyways, I am thinking way too ahead of myself, for now, I shouldn\'t worry. After I am done with dealing with this Realm, we shall go to Helheim first to deal with Redgaria\'s thing. Yes, I am still going to do it, I promised him, and I keep my promises.

After that, most likely Niflheim… Although there is Aztlan the closer to us, so we might visit that one before everything else.

"You two wake up already~," I said, whispering to their ears as the two suddenly opened their eyes slowly.

"Mwuh… Ah! M-Master…! S-Sorry… we came here…" said Blaze.

"It was… my idea. I wanted to… sleep with Master," said Lazuli.

"I-Is that so? Well, I am glad we cuddled together a bit… But for now, it\'s time for a bath and then breakfasts, alright girls?" I asked.

"Uwah! A bath! I haven\'t taken one in a while!" said Blaze.

"Indeed, we haven\'t taken one since we went into the egg…" said Lazuli.

"Eh? You didn\'t take one yesterday?!" I asked in shock.

The girls waved their heads…

I see so that\'s why they smell a bit like eggs… Alright, time to bathe them until they smell like the finest of roses.

After my wife woke up we rushed into the bathroom and we began to wash the twins with everything we had, this was a battle to make them less stinky!

We rubbed the sponges and the aromatic soap around their entire bodies, all of it! Every little inch of their bodies!

Their chest, stomach, back, butt, thigs, legs, ankles feet, toes, arms, hands armpit, wings, ears, horns, hair, and faces!

When we were finally done, we felt proud of ourselves.

"That was quite the fight guu! Even harder than fighting a god…!" said Rimuru.

"Well, we can one-shot most Gods now," said Oga.

"Oh yeah…!" said Rimuru.

"These girls had a lot of egg matter stuck to them still… I can\'t believe they actually didn\'t bathe!" said Nesiphae.

"W-Well, I had never bathed in my life, I was made of fire after all… But now that I got a flesh body, I guess it is something we must do every day, right?" asked Blaze while blushing a bit. She didn\'t like how they called her "stinky" and felt embarrassed.

"Sorry, I had forgotten… I had begun to take baths again when I was rescued, but before that, I was confined in a dungeon for hundreds of years so I never took a bath…" sad Lazuli.

"A-Anyway, that\'s already in the past! For now, let\'s have breakfast with everyone, shall we?" I asked.

After the whole ordeal, we had breakfast together and enjoyed ourselves with a delicious meal of many types of meats, fruits, sweets, pastries, and more. Rimuru and the other chefs were cooking a lot of delicious stuff for today. After all, we were celebrating that these girls finally were born, so it was a big event. We had to greet them with more and delicious preparations.

There were donuts of all types of flavors and colors made of Rimuru\'s slimes from her divine realm. After she had gotten into higher ranks of Goddess Realm, her Divine Realm had become gigantic after all! So she had a lot of new slimes we could eat and enjoy together, their flavors intensified as they raised in ranks and power, and there were more and more new types of fruit slimes with bodies that seemed like fruit jelly.

Additionally, we also enjoyed the other monsters from my wife\'s divine realms. The only monsters that were not eaten were those of Charlotte\'s divine realm, which were all cybernetic and silicon-based lifeforms never seen before, they were interesting specimens, like living mechs to an extent.

Our Mech project included using all these mechanical and silicon-based divine beasts as ingredients, and some projects included disassembling these and unifying them into giant Megazord.

As Charlotte could tame these beasts easily, she was now modifying them more so they could harbor pilots inside of their bodies as well, and we might use them to enhance the mechs we are slowly building with my many clones over this whole time. I had not mentioned it because it didn\'t matter, it was one of the dozens of backlog projects I am doing in the shadows…

Now that Blaze had been reborn, we can ask for her help and her Divine Fire, the same one her father used to forge items incredibly quickly. With her help, we should be able to produce special artifacts of Great Divine Rank with more ease so everyone can upgrade their main equipment or get new stuff.

I was actually about to upgrade my spears as well, so Blaze got work to do the moment she was born!

Wait, is this bad? I shouldn\'t exploit her like this…

However, in the middle of the breakfast, she ended suggesting this.

"Master, can I help you out somehow? I might have a body, but my soul is still Divine Fire! In fact, after all the upgrades, it had become Celestial Divine Fire! It could help everyone forget their weapons, enhance them, or even hasten the production of artifacts!" said Blaze.

She seemed willing to help despite having been used as a tool by her father in the past… I guess she is really just a sweet and nice girl.

"I was actually about to ask you that favor! Thanks a lot for your help, Blaze!" I said, petting her head as she smiled.

"Sure thing! I just want to help everyone as much as I can. It is the least I could do!" said Blaze.

Everyone ended petting her.

After breakfast, we quickly moved into the formation of forging and artifact creation, which we decided to upgrade.

Blaze didn\'t actually need to stay here. But we created a large soul connection with her and the formation by using some special Soul Attribute Materials such as Soul Spider Thread, and a lot of my abilities and skills infused into everything. This way, I managed to create a special thread connected to her divine soul that fueled the formation with her Celestial Divine Fire.

Because she might get tired if used too much, I also connected her to some of my sources of energy and power, so every time her soul is spent through this, she also recovers more energy back, so she never gets negatively affected by this.

And even more, the more her soul is used in this special formation, the more it is refined, and it can even be used as a method of cultivation for her, making her soul strain itself only to recover back again. This way, she will be able to grow stronger.

Lazuli also wanted to help, and I suddenly got an idea through the enlightenment of my Ice Attribute Law and Fire Attribute Law…

I quickly began the construction of a twin formation at the side of the Fire Forge Formation… which I named Ice Forget Formation! There will be two ways of forging weapons and creating artifacts now, this way. More people can use simultaneously both.

It uses the same principles as fire but using the powerful ice of Lazuli\'s soul. Instead of melting the ingredients to form something new, however, the ice freezes everything in place so it can be forged into a weapon as well, making two methods. In fact, if both methods are used, first fire and then ice, the results are even better!

Wow, I am a genius.

Now, Lazuli will receive this refinement of her soul method too and might grow stronger the more people use both formations.

I left some Holographic Boards on some of the instructions, encouraging the use of both formations consecutively for the best results.

Of course, most of the Gods would usually just buy the stuff already done then make it, so this was left mostly for my family.

After the many things we did, we quickly decided to call it a day and we had dinner together.

As the night progressed, I decided to fly elsewhere for the meantime, as my family began to play video games as usual…

I rushed into the heaven layer, crossing through the many-layered heavens, the nine heavens, as I call them, and reached a large palace where many of the Gods that served me, the ones that were formerly eaten were.

I crossed through it and reached another larger area, a gigantic hall where gods usually gathered for meetings and stuff, there, I entered a room where a beautiful lady awaited me…

Her skin was pale white, her body was rather busty, and her smile very enticing.

She had clear green scales around her body here and there, covering her breasts and her lower garments with clothes made out of leather which were both sexy and mysterious.

She had wyvern feet starting from her knees, which held hard white claws, and on her back, she had wyvern wings. Her arms seemed to also have gauntlet-like hands covered in green scales and possessing hard, white-colored claws.

She had long, emerald hair that reached her feet, made into several braids with were decorated with many flowers, and her eyes were shining brightly in gold and emerald colors. She had a few horns in her forehead and at the sides of her head, and long and sharp ears like those of elves. To end the description, she had a long and thick tail that waved around excitedly as she glanced at me with a gentle and motherly smile.

This was, no one else than Hodhyl, the Wyvern Goddess of Nature, of course.

"You\'re finally here… I\'ve been waiting for this moment for some time now… Shall we go to my palace inside my divine realm?" she asked.

"Oh~? Alright then," I said, as I grabbed her hips and she left a little gasp in surprise, smiling enticingly at me as she created a rift and led me to her Divine Realm.

We flew through the skies and reached the large palace where she lived, which was now empty of any servants.

Hurriedly, we rushed inside her room and began to kiss passionately.
