Epic Of Caterpillar

-----

A mass of brains stuck together and covered in oozy slime glanced from the skies at the scene.

Everywhere he put his single eye on, there would be the slaughter of his troops, and even those of the other Demon Generals once feared as the strongest Demons in Thanatos.

However, he did not seem upset, and could only wonder at the scene, while speaking with an inner voice within his mind.

"Neuron, has the Divine Beast Fragment worked?" asked the voice.

"Ah, Kinesis-sama. Indeed, it worked quite well, Gestrudo survived being destroyed into pieces, even when most of his soul was eaten… However, when he got his second chance and absorbed three more Demon Generals, he was ultimately defeated… Not a single piece of his soul is left, and even the flesh of his monstrous body was eaten by those that seem to be Kireina's children," said the large mass of slimy brains with a single crimson eye on its center, who used to have a humanoid body in the past, but due to wanting to hold on life for longer, became a grotesque abomination, Neuron, the Fourth Demon General, known as the Aberrant Brain Doctor General.

"So even after fusing with three mortals with Epic Skills… his power was not enough to defeat Kireina's children… Thanatos and the rest might have underestimated Kireina's family too much, they are indeed frightening mortals…" said the voice.

"Indeed they are, Kinesis-sama. Is there any more hope for the rest? These experiments we brought seem to have some fruition, but ultimately ended defeated… Although the potential that those Divine Beast Fragments is quite vast, perhaps using it in more talented individuals could bring some more results," said Neuron.

"Yes, share a fragment each for the Demon Generals that are left, I want to see what else could happen and if there are any other adverse effects… Whenever you're done, use the Teleportation Crystal and come inside of my Divine Realm…" said the voice.

"Immediately, Kinesis-sama… Gehehe… I cannot wait to see what kind of results they will wield!" said Neuron, flying around the battlefield, and reaching an army of Demons and Demonic Beasts fighting two little girls flying in the sky.

The two little girls were of course incredibly strong and exuded an Aura akin to Divine.

Against such power, the mortal armies were nothing but ants, being swooped by their powerful light and darkness attacks or corrosive poison that turned them all into liquid flesh and bones.

"Indeed, these two possess Divine Energy within their Souls, how problematic. I better not get into their way as they slaughter these distractions… The experiments that Kinesis-sama wants me to do are of dire importance! Especially because of the goals on his mind… After all, his brilliant mind does not even compare with the likes of Thanatos… To think that he would use Thanatos' foolishness and that of the other Demon Gods to unknowingly send so many troops to their certain death…! It is indeed a fascinating field where we can see all the true capabilities of Kireina's family… Truly a terrifying group of beings… Gehe… Now, now… Oh, there they are… It seems that Annabella has been trapped inside the Domain of one of such children… Well, good luck with that 'Heroine'…"

Neuron floated towards two Demon Generals, one was a knight of darkness whose interior was pure shadows, while the other was a large Sloth Beast Demon that was yawning all the time.

"Hm, these two… Are indeed the oldest Demon Generals, but even they are realizing that this whole battle is completely one-sided, their death is assured… Might as well use them as specimens for Kinesis-sama experiments and ultimate goals!" laughed Neuron, approaching the two Demon Generals.

A tall man wearing black armor whose insides were, in fact, pure shadows with a large crimson crystal core in the middle fought against the two little girls, releasing enormous spears of darkness and shadow spheres while unleashing slicing shadow attacks with his blade, Puplalina, the 1st Demon General, known as the Knight of Eternal Night.

His attacks were being blocked by one of the little girls, Belle, Kireina, and Adelle's daughter, who could conjure both Light and Darkness with immense precision and mastery, to the point that her Divinity itself seemed to reflect this.

Although Puplalina was an experienced fighter and mage and had lived a long life, he had never fought against someone so young yet so incredibly powerful and talented.

The experienced and old Demon General would be sweating if he had a flesh body, as he was quickly being overwhelmed.

Through his mind he could not help but feel fear and frustration, he who was someone so experienced and old ended in such a situation from all things.

This only showed how hopeless mortals were against the orders of Gods.

"Since the moment that Archupete was killed so fast was the moment I realized that this situation seems way too… strange! Have the Gods mistakenly assumed that the forces and troops of Kireina, the Empress of this Empire, were weak enough for us to easily destroy them with numbers? It is clear as water that just these few children are enough to overpower us! I cannot help but feel filled with frustration…! So this is where my life shall end…!" thought Puplalina, already assuming the worst.

Puplalina glanced at the other Demon General near him, a large Sloth Beast Demon, who was being slowly poisoned by another of Kireina's children, her adoptive daughter, and the reincarnation of Megusan, the Demon God of Venomous and Long Critters, Nirah.

"What a pain! I am… beginning to get pretty frustrated…! Did the Gods set us up?!" wondered a large, two-meter stall demon covered in fluffy hair all around, his arms were exceptionally bigger than his head, holding enormous claws, his calm and sleepy eyes seemed to never open completely although they gleamed with crimson malice, a Sloth Beast Demon, Lycanirva, the 2nd Demon General, known as the Sleeping Catastrophe.

Lycanirva had mysterious powers that came from the Sloth beast Demon, by sleeping and acting lazily, he was capable of amassing great quantities of power for him to use as an explosion of berserk strength.

He was also one of the oldest Demon Generals, although he looked quite young, as this was due to him sleeping the majority of his life.

Now, even by releasing all the power he had amassed while sleeping, he was still having hardships evading and fighting back against the corrosive poison produced by Nirah's nails and whose she coated her whips with.

"You're evading pretty well! I wonder how far you can go!" laughed Nirah mischievously, as she released several whipping attacks with her whips against Lycanirva.

Clash! Clash! Clash!

"NNGAAAAAHHH…!"

Lycanirva was hit by a full-on attack, as his enormous arms were shrouded in blood, and his Beast Form Transformation was not being of much use against Nirah's powerful poison and attacks.

Although as a Sloth Beast Demon, his metabolism was awfully slow, making even Nirah's poison affect him very slowly, he was still being worn down, and even his soul started to feel ache as if Nirah's attacks came with something that also affected it.

"Blinding Supernova!" said Belle with a confident smile, raising her tiny arms and throwing an enormous blast of light toward Puplalina, as the Demon General groaned in pain, as he was a being of pure shadows, the bright light especially hurt his real body, and the explosion of the light attack sends him inevitably flying away several meters.

The two Demon Generals were struggling, as they had decided to use their Divine Beast Fragments, thinking that they could get some kind of advantage in this one-sided battle where little girls were toying with their lives.

However, Neuron emerged from within the background, using Illusion Magic to hide his presence and finally emerging behind the two.

"Lycanirva, Puplalina! Here, grab these! Our Gods had sent us some special fragments that might give us some advantage!" he said, as the two Demon Generals glanced at him with surprise over his sudden appearance, as they saw two shiny pieces of flesh sent towards them.

"Grab them and use them! They're specially made Divine Beast Fragments!" said Neuron, hiding his macabre smile as he didn't have a mouth, to begin with.

"What? Neuron…?!" asked Puplalina, as he grabbed the piece of strange red flesh, as it began to expand around him viciously.

"Nnngguuooohhhh?!" cried Puplalina, as Lycanirva also had grabbed the piece before Puplalina was affected, and suffering a similar fate.

"W-What?! Nnngaaaahh…!"

Lycanirva and Puplalina were covered in twisting red flesh, as they instinctively activated the other Divine Beast Fragments they carried with them, changing in appearance even more, as the two flesh pieces tried to devour each other, fusing in the process.

Flash!

Their cries of agony resonated through the entire battlefield, as Neuron laughed maliciously at the scene unfold.

"Gahahahahahaha! It seems that they were more compatible than I thought! This power… to think that they would be such good matches for the fragments… I might as well give them a few more incentives! I am sure that Kinesis-sama shall be pleased!" laughed Neuron, as he opened his strange soul and released dozens of more Divine Beast Fragments, which quickly were absorbed by the monstrosity, as it expanded and grew more and more in power!

"Behold my creation! Toying with mortals and using items from Gods is really something fascinating! Aaah, such an exhilarating feeling! My tentacles are gibbering in joy!" laughed Neuron.

"Eeeeeeh?! They became a giant monster!" cried Belle.

"Nee-chan, this power… that's a bit too much, let fly away a bit!" said Nirah, grabbing Belle's hand as the two little girls flew atop the skies.

The monstrous being that was once two of the strongest Demon Generals was now a twisting mass of red flesh, covered in countless eyes of all shapes and sizes, an enormous coat of spectral shadows, a large red crystal sphere at its center, releasing powerful energy, countless tentacles covered in dark scales and long claws, fur and feathers growing around, alongside an enormous jaw filled with many razor-sharp teeth and slimy tongues, vomiting a corrosive and oozy substance…

Its size was of near sixty meters, and it moved slowly across the battlefield, extending its fleshy tentacles, and beginning to absorb all of the demon soldiers running away, adding them to its mass and slowly gathering power.

"Gahahaha! Yes, my child, consume!" laughed Neuron.

"Alright sis, let's rain that thing!" said Belle, as she activated her transformation equipment.

"Sure thing!" said Nirah, activating her own, as both little sisters were covered in countless layers of Divine Material-like metals, forming enormous mechanical structures!

Belle's mech resembled a beautiful metallic white maiden with a long tail made of metallic scales, she held an enormous staff that was able to concentrate all of her Divine Aura into it, giving her the power to release enormous cannons of light, which she quickly began to do the moment she transformed, covering the monstrous creature that the former Demon Generals had turned into, leaving enormous wounds that began to quickly regenerate!

Meanwhile, Nirah's mech resembled an enormous mechanical lamia lady, with the tail of a giant metallic snake, her entire body was covered in purple metallic scales, and she held many arms, each one having long whips with the tips of the heads of more snakes, she employed such attacks immediately, whipping the gigantic monster and then showering it with downpours of corrosive poison… however, even with such attacks, the monstrous fleshy creature recovered its wounds, even those that were just melted away by the poison, as if it made the poison part of is own body.

"That giant meatball… It is regenerating from our attacks?!" asked Belle.

"Ah! Watch out, Belle!" cried Nirah, as the monster without any previous warning waved its gigantic fleshy tentacles covered in scales, hitting Belle with enormous strength, sending her flying through the air.

"Hyyaaaaaaaah…!"

BOOM!

Belle's entire mech fell into the ground, as the mass of flesh approached her with fast speed, extending its jaws!

"A-Ah…! Divine Eclipsing Aura! Eclipse Enhancement! Dark and Light Supernova!"

Belle quickly employed several Skills and Spells, combining them and then firing enormous spheres of darkness and light right into the mouth of the grotesque monster, as they detonated, making several chunks of flesh fall off its body in succession, and leaving deep wounds within.

"GRRRRAAAAHH…!"

Belle used this opportunity to fly away from the creature, as Nirah reached her in a hurry.

"Nee-chan, are you okay?" she asked.

"Yes, I threw some of my strongest attacks, but that thing seems to still hold a lot of vitality!" said Belle, pointing at the monstrous being as it quickly regenerated from the wounds inflicted by Belle, while throwing spheres of black flames, black ice, black thunder, and even enormous boulders towards them, alongside its scaled tentacles that were already incredibly strong!

The little sisters evaded as they could by employing all of their powers, as they also released attacks of their own, easily destroying the monster's projectiles, but still being slightly overwhelmed by the grotesque creature's resiliency.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Belle and Nirah seemed pressured by the creature, as it slowly moved around the ground, following them…

"What should we do? We need to conjure stronger spells and techniques, but that takes time, and that creature keeps throwing stuff at us!" said Belle.

"We should fuse! Mommy always said that fusing can be done to increase our total power!" said Nirah.

"Right!" said Belle.

As the girls were about to fuse, the grotesque monster used its constant attacks to not let them have any time to do so, having to evade constantly while throwing attacks of their own, to the point that the girls were growing exhausted…

"Sigh… It doesn't want us to fuse!" said Belle.

"Haaahh… I am tired… I've used too much power… Nee-chan…" cried Nirah, feeling weakened.

The monster noticed such weakness immediately, opening its gaping jaws as a gigantic cannon of concentrated energies was fired right towards them!

"Aaah! Divine Barrier!"

Belle desperately conjured a barrier with her Divinity, protecting her and her sister from the powerful attack… however!

Crack, crack!

"E-Eeeeeh?! No way!" cried Belle, as the barrier broke apart, hitting the two girls directly, and sending them right back to the ground, hitting it and leaving an enormous crater!

BOOM!

The monster approached them, roaring disgustingly as its gigantic tongues approached them…!

"A-Ah…! Noo!" cried Belle, readying the last bit of power she held to defend herself and Nirah who had fallen unconscious.

"Gahahahaha! Yes! Yes, devour them and grow stronger! Kinesis-sama will be so joyful after hearing that this one specimen seems to be a success! Gya ha ha ha ha ha!" laughed Neuron, twisting its slimy tentacles atop the sky as it glanced at his creation slowly approach the young sisters.

The gigantic tongues approached the sisters, as the enormous limbs released corrosive poison, getting nearer and nearer to Belle and Nirah…

"Nirah, please wake up…! Niraaaaah! I…  do not want to die! Mommy! Mommy! I… Will I die again?!" cried Belle, as the gigantic and grotesque tentacles reached her!

However…

"We shall not let you do as you please against our sisters, villain! Rainbow Kaiser Spears!"

"El Dorado, Zap Cannon!"

"GUOOOOON…!"

However, right in dire need, backup finally came in the form of enormous zaps of lightning and gigantic weapons of materialized rainbow energy!

Boom!

"Grryyaaaaaarrhh…!" cried the monster, twisting around and moving away from Belle and Nirah.

"Our siblings…!" said Belle, as she not only noticed the Harpy Siblings and Vudia and Ailine, but also Ryo, the Shark Twins, the Scylla Triplets, and even Habitis, Ophois, and Maahes!

"All the squad is here! Belle, Nirah, hang in there!" said Habitis.
