Epic Of Caterpillar

-----

After Kireina seduced Mammon quite easily, fully knowing he was into her after reading that Title saying, "Obsessed by Kireina", she and her future demon husband flew out of the chaotic Atlantis Seas, noticing they had suddenly gone calmer!

"Oh, Mady managed to defeat that huge thing! Good." Kireina smiled.

"She worked pretty quickly, huh?" Mammon wondered. "Your wives are really strong and reliable…"

"What? Are you a bit jealous, maybe?" Kireina giggled teasingly.

"S-Shut up!" Mammon cried, feeling embarrassed of Kireina's teasing, which were becoming commonplace now. "Why are you getting all lovey-dovey out of nowhere?"

"Well, after being trapped in another world for so many months, I'm really thirsty for love…" Kireina sighed. "I wish I could chill for a bit with my family but there's problem after problem! Let me have some fun, will you? Or you dislike it~?"

"I-I see…" Mammon fully understood what Kireina had gone through, recalling how sad he felt when she suddenly died, and how furious he was as well. "Just don't die again, idiot… I really thought you were a goner."

He gently hugged her from behind, kissing her nape.

"It's okay, I won't go anywhere now." Kireina smiled, holding his smaller hand. "Oh my, you're so cute now, is this the real you?"

"T-That's not it!" Mammon got embarrassed again, quickly flying away from Kireina. "I-I'm just greedy… I am Greed itself! So you belong to ME! Of course I would feel… bad if you were gone!"

"Heh, sure~" Kireina giggled. "I'm sorry though, it took me a bit to come back."

"S-Shouldn't you be saying this to your wives instead?" Mammon asked while pouting.

"I already did and comforted them quite a lot too." Kireina smiled. "I just care about you as well, Mammon. What's wrong with that? Don't you like my love?"

"I-I do…" Mammon admitted. "I wouldn't… mind giving you more kisses… later… A-As a reward if we win of course! D-Don't get cocky!"

"Heheh, okay, okay~" Kireina giggled. "Now, where's that fool of Satan- Oh?"

SPLAAASSSHH!!

However, their conversation was suddenly interrupted as they noticed a gigantic being in the distance. The Atlantean Seas beginning to swirl crazily around it!

"What's that?!" Mammon asked in shock.

"Hoh, so there's something else going on in here." Said Kireina, glaring at the distance. "Just what in the world is that thing?"

The titanic figure, emerging from the sea mist slowly made its way towards a nearby island, where Kireina sensed one of her children, Valentia.

"I think Valentia might be over there." Kireina said. "I did sent her to protect the mortals… But what is this thing?!"

Kireina quickly utilized her Appraisal Skill to analyze the Titan walking across the seas…

Ding!

[Analyzing subject…]

[Appraisal Level too low, impossible to get a detailed appraisal.]

-----

[Mysterious Oceanic Titan (??? Rank)]

An awakened Titan that slept under the Seas of Atlantis, perhaps having even made its foundations.

It now is looking for something precious it has lost, something it needs to get back no matter what…

-----

"Well that's some shitty appraisal, it's max level already!" Kireina complained. "Ah, let's do this then. [Skill Fusion]!"

Ding!

[You have exchanged 100 Skill Points! The [Starlight Eyes: Lv8] Skill has been Leveled Up to Level 10!]

[You have exchanged 300 Skill Points! The [Universal Maxima Eyes: Lv4] Skill has been Leveled Up to Level 10!]

[You've exchanged 250 Skill Points!]

[The [Appraisal: Lv10] Skill has been fused with the [Starlight Eyes: Lv10] Skill and the [Universal Maxima Eyes: Lv10] Skill!]

FLUOOOOSH!

All three Skills emerged in front of Kireina like spheres of primordial and cosmic power, converging together into a much larger, almighty sphere of pure power.

"Y-You're forging concepts and fusing them together so seamlessly?!" Mammon was shocked. "Well, my new body's creation is the same…"

"Concepts?" Wondered Kireina, completely unaware of the incredible things the Origin System was capable of. For her, this was just normal Skill Fusion!

However, Mammon realized that the Origin System seemed like something much more incredible, much more… Primordial!

Every Skill within the Status was like the Fragment of an Existence Concept, a power even beyond Daos! Yet Kireina manipulated them so seamlessly, fusing them together to create a Greater Concept Fragment like nothing!

FLAAASH!

The three spheres converged, as they were quickly absorbed back into her body and soul, her eyes now changing, shining with malicious crimson light, shining golden light, and even cosmic brightness like never before!

Ding!

[You have created the [Universal Cosmic Eyes of Truth: Lv1] Unique Skill!]

"Now I can finally see everything very, VERY clearly. The truth it is revealed to me, no matter what!" Kireina laughed.

Her eyes shone, as she was able to finally analyze what this mysterious Titan truly was! And the information by itself left her truly speechless.

"Hoh… So Poseidon had such a little secret here?" She laughed. "Oceanus, the Pillar of the Seas, the inheritor of the Primordial Divine Spirit of the Seas, whom Poseidon killed with the other gods, using his corpse and soul fragments to create Atlantis… This whole collision, plus the spiritual energy made him reform himself from Atlantis' very core, its stones, corals, life, and seas. He's a really powerful being, probably in the level of the old Venerables!"

"What?!" Mammon was shocked. "Is that… even a thing?! But why now? What does he wants…?"

"The… Ocean's Tear…" The Titan mumbled. "Give it… BACK!"

His body made of not decaying flesh, but many elements converged together began walking across the seas, emanating the powers of a Venerable!

Kireina theorized that Oceanus might have reached the power of a Venerable by being turned into a Realm, Poseidon was wrong, he had not died, he had simply transformed and had fallen into a slumber.

But now, the Realm's Will, Oceanus, seeks something…

"The Ocean's Tear?" Kireina wondered, raising an eyebrow. "That's… What?!"

Her Eyes of Truth once more revealed her what this Ancient Treasure Oceanus desired was! 

A malicious smile surged in her lips.

"It will be mine!" She laughed. "Alright, I'll be leaving a me in here too, why not? Even if my Stats become lower, with my Egos to boost them, it doesn't matter much! [Doppelganger Creation]!"

FLAAASH!

Kireina then divided into two, her second half quickly rushing underwater again, diving rapidly to aid Valentia fend off the Titan!

"Then, we're going!"

Meanwhile, her other half quickly rushed towards Ravenfolt.
