Epic of Caterpillar

595 Fated Encounters: Nyzzet's Labyrinth Conquest 57/?: This Battle is Just Starting!

Kireina emerged from within Begudhur Uroboros Domain, finally reaching the place where the godly fight was unfolding… way ahead of the time that Zudig and Kheseerad estimated that she would take fighting the Divine Beasts that Zudig left to distract her.

As she had shapeshifted into a titanic snake-like creature covered in black, armor-like metallic scales and possessing an enormous crimson eye in the middle of the arrow-shaped head, her appearance was not at all like Zudig, Kheseerad or Begudhur remembered her.

Begudhur had seen her through the memories of his Soul Clones, and in such memories, she resembled a beautiful fairy that could change colors around depending on the powers she used…

And Zudig and Kheseerad had only heard about her from the information they had brought in the Interdimensional Merchant Shop, and she was also described as some kind of fairy.

Of course, Zudig and Kheseerad expected her to have some kind of special ability to back up her 'weak' and 'frail' body… but simply enough, they did not guess that she could shapeshift… to such an extent to become something completely different than how she originally looked like. Not even Begudhur nor Zudig had reached such ability yet, only being able to modify their bodies up to a certain extent.

"That's… Could it be? How did she get here so fast?!" roared Zudig in surprise and anger, there was also a hint of frustration as if the appearance of Kireina had solely ruined his plans completely.

"So that is Kireina? She does not resemble at all the descriptions we bought… Could those have been a lie, or is she a shapeshifter…? But to the extent to shapeshift from a small fairy to… whatever that creature is supposed to be… What kind of creature is this Kireina?!" thought Kheseerad, admiring Kireina through the peephole he created to see outside of his pocket space.

"Kireina! She is already here…?! Ungh…! I have to hurry!" roared Begudhur, using his jawed tail to dig into the dungeon at an even greater pace.

"Oh? Are you Begudhur? It feels like your whole existence had become completely different! Ah, and you must be Zudig, right? Is this how Zudig looks like? …And that little spider over there~ Yes, you, I can see you as well, fufu…" said the enormous behemoth, as its giant crimson eye glared at Kheseerad right through the small, tiny peephole he was using to glance at Kireina…

The moment both of their eyes met, Kireina released hundreds of curses into Kheseerad charged with her own Divine Soul's power.

"She can see me?" muttered Kheseerad, right before a sharp pain rushed through his entire body.

"Unnghh…!"

"Nnngggaah…! W-What was that?! She just… glanced at me!" thought Kheseerad, panicking over Kireina's absurd power… With just a glance, his body was put into hundreds of curses in mere seconds.

Although most of them had faded away after a few seconds that did not even count to ten, they were enough to frighten a god such as himself.

"Ah, it seems that I spooked him out, oops~ It seems that my new eyes… Can finally work against Gods too!" laughed Kireina.

Since Kireina's eyes awakening into the Calamity Abyss Demon Eyes, all of the curses and powers that she could exert through them finally became capable of affecting gods… to an extent.

Although they were not lethal nor she could just kill them with a glance, as long as both had eye contact for a split of a second, it was enough for her to inflict with everything she had.

Most gods were immune to Status Conditions, and Kheseerad was not the exception, he was a creature in the shape of an arachnid, but was mostly made entirely out of transparent white jewels… however, he still had internal organs.

He was, however, immune to bleed, paralysis, poison, and many other status conditions, even those cast by Gods were not as effective…

But Kireina made this whole thing completely useless. As if she had the power to negate the law of how immunities worked.

This was due to her Chaos Attribute Magic Spell 'Order Reversal'. With 'Order Reversal', Kireina managed to reverse the order of Kheseerad when she maintained eye contact with him for a split of a second. His immunities became weaknesses and vice versa, and for those three to four seconds that the curses lasted, Kheseerad had become incredibly weak to what he was immune to, being affected by the curses of lethargy, aching, confusion, blindness, deafness, and more.

When Kheseerad's senses came to him, he could not help but see Kireina with a new light…

"This is… Just what is she?! Terrifying… She is truly a monster amongst gods and mortals! This… I need to escape… If things continue as they are… I might even die!" thought Kheseerad, quickly regretting having come here with Zudig.

"I need to plan carefully… One day she will become part of my collection after all, but not now… Not now!" thought Kheseerad, his intention of making Kireina part of his 'collection' of gods that he possessed grew deeper by the second, but he also desired to survive and escape, so one day he could actually do as he wanted.

Zudig glanced at Kireina and sensed how Kheseerad closed his space the moment they made eye contact with each other… he then felt Kheseerad shrieking in pain after a few seconds. Zudig desired to grow stronger and to one day eat Kireina, but could not have guessed that he would just meet her right now.

For him, it was like facing death itself.

The shadow of death grew thicker and larger around Zudig, even if he was an undead himself, the undead could also die by having their souls eaten… and he being a god didn't save him from such a fate when facing someone like Kireina.

"Kireina… So you've made it here… No matter! I won't fall against you, nor I have the intentions of fighting you now!" said Zudig in an attempt to ease the tension between the two.

"Oh? So what? Do you think I care about what you think? Zudig, right? I only see you as a small afternoon snack. So, in which way do you want to die? Eaten alive or… eaten alive? Fufufufu!" laughed Kireina, as she began to expand her body around the Domain of Begudhur, completely ignoring his ability to parasitize whatever it touched, she was simply immune to it, whenever the Domain tried to parasitize her flesh, she would parasitize it back and then assimilate it, this way, she broke through it with the utmost ease.

CLASH!

"E-Eaten? Heh, you are just as insane as everyone talks about! But the one that will end as an afternoon snack is you! Kireina, I will one day devour you and your entire Empire, not even your family will be spared! Do not dare to call me a snack, you pathetic mortal! Kheseerad, come pick me up, hurry!" roared Zudig, taunting Kireina as he called for Kheseerad so both could escape.

However, Kheseerad did not appear to pick up Zudig.

"Kheseerad…?" muttered Zudig.

"Shit…" muttered Zudig.

Kireina's eyes flashed evilly as they glanced at Zudig… the taunting worked incredibly well, and she was now angered.

Kireina would usually be quite resistant to taunts… and even did not care when others insulted her nor called her in a variety of ways.

However, when they talked about her Empire or Family… Especially in how Zudig spoke about… killing and eating them all…

"Zudig…" muttered Kireina with a thunderous sound that resonated through the entire Dungeon, the monsters all around cowered in fear, as a bloodlust that covered the entire place began to make even gravity a bit heavier…

A dark red Aura covered it all, and Zudig found himself inside a world of black, crimson, and purple colors spiraling chaotically across.

Zudig glanced at Kireina, her flesh began to expand all across Begudhur's Domain like a grotesque sea of flesh ad dark scales, converting his domain into hers, and engulfing it all into a different world, a different space.

Kheseerad did not answer Zudig due to the shock of the curses inflicted upon him, he still was recovering even after the curses ended more than half a minute ago.

However, when he finally decided to act, he felt as if space had become incredibly slow… it was as if he were trying to dive in incredibly dense mud… Compared to before, when he felt as if going through space was like diving in clear and unmovable water.

Kireina's Domain was simply superior to most Gods. Her power to encapsulate spaces and isolate them was incredibly advanced, and through such power, she made the density of the space that surrounded every layer of her Domain increase by tenfold… and when each layer was considered, it became even denser.

"Why is space… so dense?! Not even with Begudhur's Domain would space become this hard to move from! I am… technically stuck in her unless I go outside of my pocket space! Is she distorting space itself? Does she possess Space Attribute Magic?!" thought Kheseerad.

However, his thoughts were far from the truth, the distortion in space was due to Kireina's Dream Attribute and Chaos Attribute.

She created a pseudo–Dream World with each Domain she made, distorting space as she created a small 'world' by itself. And with Chaos Attribute Magic, she was able to distort space even easily with 'Order Reversal', which weakened the order of space itself the more she infused the spell into it, making it smooth and easy for her Domain, which was a pseudo–Dream World to fit in and create an enormous pressure and space distortion.

Since she arrived that the three gods were instantly trapped inside her own world.

"This is bad…! This is bad! She really has Space Attribute Magic…! Could it even be a Divinity?! No way!" thought Kheseerad, panicking even more. Not even through his long life has his strongest weapon and way of transport, Space Attribute Magic, betrayed him so much like now.

Although Kireina did not hold any power over the Space Attribute, she was able to affect it to great extent through her unique powers, making it seem as if she somehow had greater authority than Kheseerad, a God of Space himself!

Begudhur in the other case, felt as if the jaw on his tail began to eat at something that could bite him back!

"Aghh! W-What the…?!"

A sharp pain rushed through his tail, as he quickly took on the skies, escaping from the ground…

He glanced down below, as the entire floor was also covered in Kireina's Domain, in a spherical form.

The domain was simply composed of black, crimson, and purple colors twisting and spiraling around, but the moment he took away his tail, he glanced at how many small jaws stopped eating at him like tiny vermin.

Even Begudhur, a former god of Parasitism, and an awakened Primordial Beast could not help but feel disgusted and an aberrant fear over such an abomination!

The tiny vermin twisted around endlessly, seeking to devour anything… they were way more vicious, terrifying, and powerful than anything he had ever seen!

If Begudhur had stayed another minute in the ground, most of his tail would have been completely eaten!

"What do I… What do I do?!" thought Begudhur, glancing at the expanding and endless mass of flesh that Kireina was converting into, countless crimson eyes emerged from within, covering the spherical domain, her world.

Enormous tentacles began to appear everywhere as if the three gods had fallen into a grotesque world where the logic that they always considered that existed was completely shattered!

Smiling and monstrous jaws, razor-sharp teeth, expanding claws, horns, sharp bones, beaks, tentacles, long and slimy tongues, pores vomiting deadly poison… It was a world of grotesque, terrifying, and aberrant disgust.

"Welcome to my world! We deeply thank you for willingly coming here and feeding us with such quality food!" laughed Kireina, as from within her endlessly expanding flesh, spores leading to the disgusting and fleshy insides opened, revealing a group of demi-humans of all shapes and sizes emerging from within, wearing large suits of armor and deadly weapons… each one possessing a strong Aura, these people was perhaps the strongest mortals that these gods had ever seen before.

"Now, let's begin!" said Kireina.

The three gods could not help but be shrouded in fear the moment they heard those words.
