Epic of Caterpillar

.

.

.

I ranked up as I waited for the next Heavenly Calamity to show up.

And just as I imagined, a split of a second after, space opened and… poof!

There it is.

As the space distorted, an enormous figure emerged from it, with immense presence and overwhelming aura.

It was a gigantic mass of vines covered in spikes that were entangled together into what seemed to be a snake. Yes, a snake.

It opened its jaws as it began to exude an enormous mass of chaos all around it, like black gas, which chaotically spiraled around and released black thunder.

Alongside that, it held a long tongue with sprayed acidic poison everywhere!

The name of this stuff is… Chaotic Poisonous Vine Serpent of Annihilation. What a name.

And just like any other Heavenly Calamity, it lacks a soul, and it is pretty fucking angry.

And it's going straight towards me. Oh, already tired of trying to target the tree? I see…

CLASH!

The enormous jaws of the serpent reach me as they begin to crush me! Poison begins to flow all inside my body, I am melting in horrifying pain!

My soul begins to dissolve as well, I am done for!

Haha, yeah, no.

BOOM!

A second after, I explode, my mortal shell cracks, and I become the monstrosity I often like to be portrayed as.

My flesh expands all around the vine serpent, while I constantly self-renewal my own self by eating my flesh and body constantly.

You can't fight against me with such a feeble creature, World's Will!

The sake roars as it begins to spin, slashing through my flesh and splattering me all over!

But I keep regenerating constantly, as bulges and masses of flesh covered in scales, fangs and more begin to tear apart the creature.

Suddenly the monster roars once more as it conjures chaos magic!

Hundreds of magic circles are conjured, and gigantic beams of black chaotic energy fall over me!

Hah! But I am the embodiment of chaos, dear.

I quickly conjure Law Embodiment and Law Decree, fusing it all into an enormous and holy barrier.

But that's not all!

I infuse Chaos Magic into it until it becomes a Chaos and Law Barrier!

And then I fuse it with my soul and divine aura, yes, I just did that.

And then, I shape it all and fuse it with Monarch of Gluttony, yep, that's right.

And boom! A new technique made by the fusion of many Path Jewel Abilities, I call this baby Law and Chaos Gluttonous All-Devouring Barrier!

The enormous barrier seems to be alive, and it catches all the chaos cannons, eating them up like a snack!

And then, I shapeshift it and cover my body with it, and jump over the snake, throwing it into the ground!

BOOM!

"GRYYSSSHAAAA!"

The snake roars, throwing poison that constantly melts my flesh and soul! This bastard is like Megusan 2.0.

I quickly begin to maul it with my jaws and divine aura coupled with my superfused barrier, the jaws of gluttony are unstoppable!

In just a few seconds, I finally can tear down the large Heavenly Calamity more easily.

I use my enormous tentacles as fists, enhancing them with hundreds of techniques fused together through the [Transcendental Divine Martial and Weapon Arts: All Weapon and Fist Battle Goddess] Skill, unleashing all sorts of techniques, combo attacks, all enhanced by the super Chaos-Law-Gluttony combination that never fails me!

Countless mirages of all weapons and fists fuse together and begin to blast away the enormous Heavenly Calamity, piece by piece, I destroy and consume it.

It tries to regenerate by trying to suck my energy through some strange ability, but I simply give it corrupted energy filled with my Gluttony, which begins to make things easy, as I can eat it from the inside out!

"GGRRYYYSSSHAAAAAA…!"

It gives the last roar as I completely consume it!

Well, thanks for the meal, World's Will!

I begin to feel the enhancements occur, my entire body begins to glow with even more power, each Heavenly Calamity I eat just makes me stronger.

I am just going to speed run this whole game soon enough.

There is a lot out there, Genesis is no longer my limiter, I just keep grabbing everything I can and prepare for the dangers outside of it.

Sorry, World's Will, but your cute little toy only makes me stronger.

Ding!

Suddenly, my entire body is covered with roots.

In fact, I am becoming roots, just outright becoming plants!

What?!

My entire flesh, which was all over the place, shapeshifts as tree bark, and I suddenly become static, stuck into the ground.

Erm… What's going on now?

My entire body keeps expanding upwards, and I simply grow as a tree.

I became a tree.

My entire body begins to melt inside, my soul fuses with the tree and then renews itself, the core of it all glows with a golden brilliance, and the tree sap reforms me anew.

Oh wow, this is quite the evolution method.

The sweet tree saw reform my entire body from zero, and then I open my eyes.

Crack, crack… CRASH!

I punch the tree and get out of it, a little hole is left where I was, I see my body and I am back to fairy form, my body was made anew.

And there was left a gigantic tree, right here… Well, I guess I will call it the Kireina Tree or something.

It is still alive, and it made up a soul through my residual soul energy.

…

Hah! Those are some good stats.

Man, two more Ranks and I can get to Great Goddess!

That was way too easy… Really?

I always thought that my path to Great Goddess would be harsh, but you literally just need to eat more Gods, and that's what I did.

I guess, in truth, there have never been any gameplay changes and I just have been doing the same thing since day 1, killing and eating other things to grow stronger.

Anyways, thanks for the nice meal, World's Will, you did splendorous work there.

Suddenly, as I was getting accustomed to my new powers, and seeing that my body had not changed at all in appearance, the tree in front of me began to regenerate the hole where I came from, closing it.

I wonder if it can talk to me?

"Erm, hi?" I asked.

"Hello…" it said.

Woah… It actually spoke.

Is this tree like a clone of me? Or is it something else created from my residual soul and physical body after I evolved?

"I am impressed that you can speak, you're not a simple tree, aren't you?" I asked.

"Oh… Well, not at all. It could be said that I am something like your clone or an offspring," it said rather boldly, she had a more childish and young-sounding voice than mine.

"Eh? My child?!" I asked.

"Hehe… W-Well, that might be the case. Don't worry, I am just as shocked by my sudden existence. I just was born after all…" she said.

"Did you inherited my memories?" I asked.

"Memories? No… I don't think so… But I did inherit knowledge about how to speak, various terms, and more from you," said the Tree.

"Well… I suppose you're really a new daughter. So impactful… But how were you exactly formed?" I asked.

"Hmm… From your residual Soul impurities and the shapeshifting of your flesh into wooden bark… I think. So, can I call you mother?" asked the Tree cutely.

I have to admit, this is even more sudden than most other stuff.

I just got a daughter and she's a cute giant tree… Wait, what about the Yggdrasil branch then?

…Nah, that one is just a stupid tree, my daughter can talk and all, she is clearly a superior tree.

"Sure thing, you can call me mother… I will give you a name, my dear… How about Druantia?" I asked.

"Druantia…? Sounds interesting… is it based on something?" asked Druantia.

"It is an ancient hypothetical Goddess of the Gallic Tree. As you're a tree, it was rather fitting… Now, what do you want to do with me? We need to forge our bond as mother and daughter," I said.

"Erm… I would like to talk some more but… I am feeling very sleepy right now, mother… I will go take a nap, we can speak afterward… I am slowly nourishing myself by absorbing the energy around here, but it will take some time for me to… stabilize," she said.

"Oh, the sure thing then, rest well," I said, as Druantia went to sleep.

Well, that was… that.
