Epic of Caterpillar

"Eh? They\'re not like I imagined them to be…" Frank said. "Honestly, I expected them to be, you know… Like babies? Like my own, the oldest is around three years, but your kids are already adults."

"Well if you put it that way I am round four years of age?" Wondered Amiphossia. "Taking into consideration the years inside mom\'s Divine Realm."

"Yeah I\'m around the same age as her." Ryo nodded.

"W-What?!" Frank was shocked. "You kids sure grew fast!"

"It\'s part of being demi-humans of races that mature very quickly." I said. "And part monster too."

"O-Oh… I see. Well, it is nice to meet you." Frank sighed, smiling gently. "I am Frank, a human from Earth. Oh, well, I am Half-Overseer? But I am not related with those guys… I landed here seeking my soul fragments and ended joining your mother in her journey to go back home."

Amiphossia approached me.

"Mom, he has your scent, and you\'re covered on his… What\'s going on in here?" She whispered to me.

"A-Ah… I guess I can\'t escape a lamia\'s scent senses…" I sighed. "Well, ahem, yeah, let\'s say me and Frank are friends with benefits. Nothing serious right now."

"I see!" Said Amiphossia, smiling teasingly. "I guess you\'ve been busy while we were looking for you, you cheeky mom! I guess you like them young! He\'s quite the handsome man, indeed."

"I can\'t believe it mom." My son facepalmed. "He looks younger than me. You\'re a cougar…"

"D-Don\'t put it like that, you\'re going to make me feel bad! He\'s an adult already, and much older than you two." I sighed, crossing my arms.

"Hahaha, they\'re both funny." Frank found them amusing, but I was getting embarrassed already. Well, I was happy he was getting along pretty well with them.

Though having them here with me made me far happier anyways. For now, however, we can\'t stand sitting around all the time.

I quickly packed both Jungle Kings inside of my Inventory and also cleared all the other corpses left behind. I ate some in the way to strengthen my Gluttony powers as well, and added some more to my Swarm of Gluttony on the way, who had survived but were terrified to fight us now that their Kings died.

Funnily enough all three Jungle Kings were just giant Chaos Dragons in the shape of dinosaurs, and most monsters in this jungle are like dinosaurs or prehistoric giant insects, it is really amusing. Anyways, with that out of the way, we decided to bring with us the Jath-hu of this settlement.

Their entire settlement was in ruins after the battle, so I helped them carry their essentials and clothes using the item box and then we decided to bring them to where the other tribe was located. They were not even reluctant about it because they thought my son was their god, so it made things much easier.

"Y-You\'re back and- Eh? So many people! Did you slain both Jungle Kings?!" The chief was shocked, as she received everyone inside her hidden village, there was plenty of space.

"Yep! Both are gone now, and if you noticed, the barrier has begun to dissipate, turning into purple smoke." I said, pointing at the distance. "I believe that in a few hours we\'ll be able to get there now."

"A-Amazing… I can\'t believe it… T-This is… in just two days you\'ve freed us from the demons that tormented us for so long…" The chief cried. "Thank you so much!"

We were currently inside of her big tent as she lowered her head and thanked us for everything. I didn\'t really came here to receive thanks or something, just to kill the Genie anyways.

"Don\'t worry about it, we\'ve come here to kill the Genie, that\'s all." I sighed. "Well, this still calls for a celebration, right? Also, my two children have come back to me! Let\'s have a feast!"

Like that, we started making an enormous feast using the meat of the Jungle Kings. There was plenty of meat from the first one left over already, but we decided to try out the other two and they didn\'t disappointed, with their rather unique tastes.

I mostly made enormous grilled fillets, giant skewered pieces of meat, dinosaur stew, dinosaur tomato sauce with pasta, and even some meatloaf. My kids were happy too, munching everything, they were incredibly exhausted and hungry.

I wanted to ask them many things, about how they came here, and how did they knew I was alive, and I am fairly sure… that someone helped them too. But I wanted them to eat and rest before that, as a mother, I have to be responsible for my kids\' wellbeing.

"Is it yummy? Mommy put all her love into making these for you two." I giggled.

"It is yummy!" Amiphossia said. "Mommy\'s cooking is always the best! Ah, but don\'t tell mom about it…"

"Nesiphae\'s cooking is also good, Amiphossia!" I sighed.

"Y-Yes but… Uuh, sometimes she adds too much salt and spices…" Said Amiphossia.

"I guess it\'s because that\'s the cuisine of the Lamias after all." I said.

"My mom\'s cooking is good, but mom\'s better… by only a bit." Ryo said.

"It is honestly a bit confusing when they talk like this…" Elfina said. "S-So they have two moms? How does that even works?"

"A-Ah, perhaps it would be better to not learn about that, milady." Said Fiere.

"Y-Yeah…" Sol nodded.

"Ah it\'s easy, mom has both of them!" Said Amiphossia started explaining.

"W-Wait, Amiphossia don\'t say these things in the middle of a dinner!" I reprimanded her.

"Ahahah, but who cares?" Amiphossia wondered.

"She\'s a bit too drunk now, the wine of this tribe of people is strong." Ryo said.

Frank was feeling slightly confused, though he did knew I could change my gender as I wanted, hearing it like this made him feel slightly… doubtful of his own sexuality.

"M-Maybe I should accept you with everything…" He became brave, unexpectedly. "If I want you as my wife then I… I just have to love you for everything you have to offer."

eαglesnᴏνel "There\'s no need to go so far…" I sighed. "Just ignore her… A-And I haven\'t said I want to be your wife!" I gave him a bonk.

"Anyways, my children. How about we talk about what\'s important now… How… How did you get in here?" I asked.

"Oh, that!" Amiphossia said.

"The Supreme God of Time and Lucifer, who is the Supreme God of Space, helped us." Said Ryo.

"Yep, they said that we had to go look for you and help you out, that they detected you revived!" Said Amiphossia.

"Without anything to lose, we jumped into the portal they created, which was being fueled by a Divine Technique absorbing the Miasma and Chaos of Genesis." Said Ryo.

"Like that, we landed here… We were initially in the Dwarf Kingdom though, we saved their lives from a giant tentacle army, and then we arrived to the desert." Amiphossia said, munching on some more meat.

"And, well, here we are." Said Ryo.

"Eh?! Lucifer and the Supreme God of Time?!" I asked in surprise. "Didn\'t Lucifer said he wasn\'t going to intervene, but did anyways? And… the Supreme God of Time, I haven\'t spoken with him, he\'s a rather mysterious figure…"

"Yeah, but he said that if you didn\'t come back… Genesis would be destroyed as a whole." Said Amiphossia.

"So we\'re going back no matter what, mom!" Ryo said.
