Epic of Caterpillar

Indeed, Aura's body and most of the Supreme Gods, if not all of them, had bodies like these. Bodies that couldn't be properly said to be human anymore, nor even be what they used to be.

They could shape themselves in humanoid forms at will, of course, but their true bodies could be said to simply be enormous masses of divinity and energy condensed together.

Kireina and Rimuru had already transitioned to this stage too, but because they always keep their humanoid forms, they really didn't realized this.

Therefore, it could be said that Aura himself, like most high-level beings, is a genderless mas of energy… but of course, gender identity is a thing, Flora still identifies herself as a woman and a mother, and Aura as a man, despite wanting to leave behind his human male body and become a mass of nebulas and stars.

Aura's past was filled with pain and suffering, recalling his life as a human wasn't something he liked, so he detached himself from anything that could remind him of such a past.

Especially because looking at his own hands and his reflection would make him want to hit himself, and it only made his own hate for himself grow bigger…

As of now, he was once more recalling the past, like a nightmare that tormented him whenever he was not distracting himself with others.

Perhaps this was the reason he treasured his servants such as Jupiter and Europa a lot, they brought him the company he needed, so he could not think about the painful past.

He was a man with many secrets, and many painful memories… But above all, it could be said he was a man with a lot of self-hate.

Despite how he acted… Aura hated himself.

But he wanted to keep living because of someone in the past.

He had to live for that person at the very least…

And now with everything going on, Kireina began to slowly take more and more of his time away from his own depressive thoughts and brought him a lot of happiness and interesting things to do.

Now that the Era was changing, freedom was at the next step of the door, so he really wanted to grasp freedom and move over to the Outer Universe as fast as possible.

With Kireina, of course.

It has been truly a while since a woman had brought him so much happiness… Kireina might not even realize it, but Aura's requirements to be made happy were very low, he was often way too humble.

Simply enjoying her company made him more than happy, he really didn't cared about anything else, not even about going to bed, kissing, hugging, or anything like that.

As it was stated earlier, he had long ago detached himself from such feelings and necessities, but company… it was still something he wanted.

The thing he abhorred the most was being alone, because when he was alone, his own mind would slowly attack him, reminding him of his mistakes, of his past, and of all the horrendous things… that would simply and slowly eat away his sanity…

Aura looked into the distance of his Divine Realm; he was thinking many things.

He spread his body all he wanted across his vast Divine Realm.

His Divine Realm was enormous, resembling a pocket outer universe of its own.

As the God that created the Astral Road, he was one of the Supreme Gods with the greatest control over the entire world of Genesis.

Why? Because he was able to see most of what happened outside Realms…

Every star within the Astral Road were his eyes.

He knew very well what was happening, the world was changing, a new Era was approaching.

Things were changing at a fast pace.

Things might never be the same as before, in fact.

But that was for good. After all, he was one of those that wanted this to happen, he even helped it happen.

If it wasn't because of his help, Kireina might had not been able to tap into this level of power and change the world with her Era of Chaos after all.

It was something that he was partially in fault of, but he didn't blamed himself as if this was something bad, he found pride on this, however, as he wanted this to happen.

The world was finally changing, after growing stagnant for thousands of years, no, almost a million years…

It was finally time for things to change at long last.

He felt excited, but at the same time, uncertain of many things.

The first step was, of course, to move forward into attacking Hel, one of Kireina's enemies.

After that, things might quickly escalate into a war as more of the enemies he had seen lurking around would show up to fight her.

This might provoke a domino effect where fights might continue for a while without many breaks.

He had to prepare well, even as a Supreme God of such age as he was, he couldn't underestimate his foes.

But he couldn't help but think about Kireina and what she might be doing.

Just recently she got herself the System gods into her divine realm, and he even saw them fused into a beautiful new supreme goddess of the system, a trump card which had been not revealed to the public yet…

Ah yes, he knows that the two might had already done it… It was quite clear Kireina was very energetic about having sex with her new wife.

Aura smiled at her energetic behavior, her eagerness for sexual intercourse, for a being as old as him, seemed rather cute.

"She's a very interesting girl… Hmm… I wonder what's she's doing now? Ah… I don't want to talk to her, I feel like I would be bothering her… I might even end up looking obsessive… I have to wait until she tries to contact me." He thought.

"My lord if you really want to speak with Kireina and enjoy her company you should just talk to her…" sighed Jupiter.

"Yes… I doubt she'll mind…" said Europa.

"B-But…" sighed Aura.
