Epic of Caterpillar

The large feast hasn't really come to an end, and I've actually been eating for quite a while without stopping, the delicious preparations never stopped coming and I couldn't resist myself…

But well, sooner or later I had to do it!

"I am going to eat the big pile of gods, I guess."

"Oh! Mama, finally! Does this means that you'll turn into a Great Goddess?" asked Scarlet.

"Amazing, mama!" said Nirah, who had just rushed at my side after having taken a bath.

"What will it happen when Mama turns into a Great Goddess?" wondered Vudia.

"I don't think much, right? Mama will still be mama… Maybe she'll get prettier!" said Ailine.

"But mom is already so beautiful…" said Marduk.

"Yeah, it's hard to become even prettier, but when she went from mortal to goddess she did become even more beautiful," said Belle.

"Yeah… Mama is the prettiest goddess!" said Nanshe.

"If we are children from the prettiest goddess, then are we the prettiest girls too?" wondered Nammu.

"Fufu, of course, you are, all of my little girls are the most beautiful there are in the entire world!" I said.

My girls chuckled while blushing, they were all precious little princesses, even the grown-up like Amiphossia and Valentia!

And of course, my boys are also quite handsome, and beautiful too. Although I think Ryo is the only one that has fully matured into a muscular Adonis, although Marduk and the harpy chicks should catch him soon enough, they're already developing stronger.

My family quickly gathered all the fragmented souls and the corpses of the gods. There were so many that even I was left surprised, this immense pile of gods who used to be all the Lower Realm Gods, will all become my own power now!

I can't help but feel rather nice by seeing how easily we slaughtered them all… Don't worry you guys, you will show up in the Heaven Layer as purified souls in a few seconds, so no biggie!

After all, I am not killing them in the end! They'll all end up landing up there, I am merely extracting all the power they have worked so hard to acquire through all this time!

Oh, well, that's what I always do. A newcomer like me can't just wait a few hundred years to get strong, you know? I have to just eat up and steal the power of these experts and make it my own, over accumulating it and becoming completely unstoppable…

Some like Scarlet ended eating the gods whole due to her way of fighting, but she quickly took away a few pieces of her soul that harbored the god's power, although I only accepted a bit, I didn't want her to grow weaker for my sake.

Seeing the big pile, I quickly expanded my jaws into an immense and grotesque mouth and devoured everything with a single bite, swallowing it right away as well. There's no time for tasting tests or whatever!

FLASH!

Suddenly, all the fragments and corpses were digested into my Dimensional Stomach, as a rush of new power encompassed my entire being, the rush of power was so immense I thought I was about to explode!

However, I unleashed the power of Uroboros and Gluttony, devouring all the areas of my body that seemed about to explode, and continuously devouring the same energy over and over again, slowly suppressing it as I made it my own power… Like this, the energies overflowing my body began to fall low, slowly turning into my own power.

Through this self-renewal cycle, I continued to devour everything as I absorbed the energy, it took some time, but slowly and steadily, I was getting somewhere.

Flash!

The number of divinities I got was ridiculous, so many that it was hard to even count them all, and they all began to mix around with the others, fusing and merging with all my other divinities into something immense and rather terrifying…

My soul flashed with power, enough power to defy the heavens and surpass the limits of a God, and reach… Great God!

However, I quickly stopped it there, as I assimilated the rest of the power to quickly assess my gains, holding up to the rank up of my Realm so I don't have to hurriedly fight a Heavenly Calamity out of the blue.

The flow of power was immense though, I think I will most likely surpass just Rank 1 Great Goddess and might even reach higher ranks, although that means fighting multiple of these calamities… So I will try to first become a Rank 1 Great Goddess and then slowly release the power to get into higher ranks slowly and steadily, step by step.

However, the overflowing energies were very hard to suppress completely, I had to create many inner gates and close them, each inner gate closing this immense energy and caging it in place.

It took a particularly long time because I was getting dizzier and dizzier due to the immense amount of power, and while doing this, I had to also assimilate this power into stats, attribute particles, and divine points, all while also creating these "Inner Gates" to suppress the immense amounts of the essence. And to be honest, it was stressing me out due to how hard it was.

But I also had many split minds, a lot of them, so I quickly put all my intent into it, using the hundreds of split minds within my immense mind, and my entire body which was also a brain thanks to my Path Jewel of the Chaotic Abyss Demon, I was able to store even more split minds, all of them working as an army of wills to do all these tasks at the same time, which were truly exhausting, even for someone like me!

My family watched over as I had my eyes closed, my eyebrows furrowed, as I slowly contained this immense quantity of power all into place, it was tiring to no end, but I was managing, I was pulling through it somehow, somehow…!

The energies fluctuated, even more, the power continued to be assimilated, devoured, and stored into the gates, many gates… just how many?!

I created a gate for each Rank, but I already had made three and it continued!

At the fourth gate, I still had more essence to achieve even greater ranks, so I had to put all my intent into making more gates, all the effort, all of it!

My split minds flashed around, using their mind power, and gathering it all for me to reach this.. it was hard, quite hard, but I was getting there somehow, I knew I had to persevere, I knew I had to do my best, but it was getting harder…

The fourth gate was finally made, and then the fifth gate quickly after…

Eh?! There is even more essence left! For a… sixth gate!

Does this mean that I can jump all the way to Rank 6 Great Goddess?! Only three ranks short before becoming Supreme… Andromeda was right, whenever I reached Great Goddess, all of this saved up power that was clogging my progress would be finally released and then used to reach even further.

Well, those are sweet news…

After making the sixth gate, the essence was assimilated, and everything seemed well made now. It was all good… At last.

Ugh…

I quickly sit over the chair I was, as I see my stats skyrocket.

Ding!

[You acquired the [Gigantic Divinity Cluster of Fire, Earth, and Ore Divinities]!]

[The gained divinities have been integrated into current divinity!]

[You gained +150.000.000.000 Primordial Essence, +25.000.000 Divine Energy, +24.000.000 Aether, +18.000.000 Ki, and +15.000.000 Fate!]

[You gained +30.000.000 Divine Points (Rank 3)!]

[You gained a large number of Attribute Particles!]

Indeed, there it is… that's a lot.

And at the end, because I ate all the divinities at the same time, it ended merging into a giant Divinity Cluster that has all the divinities of these fodder gods…

Oh, their souls should be spawning in the Heaven Layer as of now… there will be a big commotion for some time, I hope the gods above can deal with them.

As I opened my eyes at long last, Agatheina quickly began to praise me.

"Oh, Kireina-sama, such splendor! You are such a splendorous being! There is no equal, no equal on heaven and earth to you!" she said.

"C-Calm down… You were taking a beauty nap while we were having a feast and now that you came back, you're filled with energy, aren't you?" I sighed.

"Fufu, indeed! I needed that vampire sleep to revitalize myself a little bit, but now I am back at 100%!" said Agatheina, winking.

As I chatted with Agatheina and the rest, I noticed that my Aura was flowing with an immense… thickness within it. It was weird to explain, but that's how it was, more or less.

I quickly decided to check the changes in my status…
