Epic of Caterpillar

Chapter 2330  Fighting Flora's Corrupted Form

-----

"GRAAAHHHHH!!"

Kireina could hear the distorted scream of Flora within the gigantic wooden titan, whose entire body was covered with darkened and red colored spirit crystals and eldritch tentacles made of chaotic miasma.

"Girls, can you take care of the wolves and the chimeras?" Kireina asked them, but they were already on the move.

"Leave it to us!" Brontes said.

"Please save Flora! Something happened to her, and she was turned into a monster too!" Nesiphae said.

"Please!" Rimuru cried.

"You don't have to ask me for it, I was going to do it anyways, worry not," Kireina said, her eyes glowing with starlight brilliance.

Her domain shook and began to transform, the powers of her Khepri Skill activated as she summoned her powerful abilities.

"{Eternal Radiant Sun's Divine Swarm}!"

BBBZZZTTT!!!

The sound of countless golden insectoids resembling giant demonic scarab beasts, some humanoids while others more beast-like emerged. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

All of these were the entities she added to her Swarm, from the Desert Kings of the World of Grand Terra to the Undead Demons, and even the Divine Monsters of her Star System Realm.

But that wasn't all…

"{Primordial Sunshine Scarab Queen Of The Sun}"

FLUOSH!

Several of the swarm members suddenly merged together, melting into a single entity that overflowed with light and divine cosmic energies, glistening with gold.

A beautiful insectoid queen was materialized, with the aspects of a golden scarab, a mantis, a dragonfly, and even the legs of a spider.

All encompassed by a glistening golden exoskeleton.

"Protect my wives from those things."

Kireina noticed a large group of hundreds of Miasmic Aberrations emerging from the nearby Miasmic Pools, alongside large Spiritual Beasts, being born out of the huge mountain-sized spirit crystal chunks that had scattered over Abyss' surface.

She noticed they weren't normal either, their eyes were always red, and above their heads, there was some sort of crimson-colored sigil resembling a crown shape.

Her eyes squinted, the beast Flora had become also had something similar, except the crown showed three horns instead of one.

Kireina wanted to investigate more, but she decided to first prioritize Flora's safety, then investigate a bit while she moves with the rest of her wives towards the rest of the members scattered around these wastelands.

"Alright Flora, let's end this quickly."

"GRAAAHHH!"

Flora's enormous body rushed towards her at a surprising speed, her enormous foot crushed the ground, leaving behind darkened and corrupted plants that grew everywhere, resembling eldritch creatures with tentacles and eyes rather than the greenery she often cherished.

RUMBLE!

From below Kireina, Flora's monstrous form attempted to surprise her, as giant spears made of black, chaotic roots surged, imbued with both chaos and spiritual energies fused together, and a third, vampiric force.

"Weak."

Kireina, however, was unfazed, all the wooden spears that were to reach her body were instantly burned by her blazing sun Aura, instantly turned to ashes as they moved towards her.

FLUOSH!

"I remember back then when you were much stronger than I was…" Kireina laughed, feeling slightly cocky. "I guess even with the help of these monstrous powers, you can't compare to me now, Flora… You know, I was always kind of angered you made me eat a whole attack from Hel, which made me die back then… I mostly kind of tried to forget you, but even now, I am quite pissed off. So let me get this off my chest, alright?"

"GRAAH?!"

Kireina disappeared from where she was with an explosion of plasma and flames, reaching Flora's face and swinging her enormous golden and azure colored axe, overflowing with the power of a mighty sun within it and Mammon's soul.

"{Ultimate Infernal Archdemonic Wrathful Greed Axe Arts}: {Chaos Splitter}"

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

Kireina moved the massive axe as if it were as lightweight as a twig, slashing through Flora's head and dividing it into countless pieces. Each blow spread countless solar flames across her entire body, burning her wood intensively.

"GRUUAAAHH!"

With a furious roar, Flora swung her massive arms, encompassing them on rainbow spiritual flames and unleashing a barrage of powerful punches against Kireina, capable of splitting half a planet.

BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!

Kireina smiled as Mammon's axe form quickly intercepted her blows with ease, parrying them away and blocking them with not a single issue!

"You didn't even try to apologize for what happened; you bitch… You might be ultimately an ally, and perhaps a good person, but you're really quite insensitive, eh?" Kireina kept barking angrily. "If not for me, you should have at least apologized to my family!"

She rushed forward as she spun in midair, her axe easily slicing through Flora's arms and making them explode as her Nebula-like Domain constantly released small stars that exploded, consuming everything in their wake.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"RAAAHHH!"

"GRAAAH!"

Kireina and Flora roared at the same time, their Divine Authorities and Powers clashed against one another, as their Domains seemed to be on a stalemate temporarily, Flora's wooden body generating hundreds of wooden spears, trying to pierce through Kireina's body.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Yet!

Kireina was completely unscathed, taking no damage at all as Flora's attacks turned into ashes before they could even touch her rival.

"I told you that wasn't going to work."

Suddenly, the two suns appeared in her hands again, as she combined them into her axe, making it grow to a tremendous size.

RUMBLE!

The skies and the ground below trembled before Kireina's tremendously strong presence, ultimately combining everything with one of Mammon's strongest new spell skills.

"{Archdemonic Decadence}"

FLUOOOSH!

The power of several Archdemons and their Sins surged within the massive axe, as she swung it down against Flora with tremendous force.

"GRYYAAAH!"

Flora screamed in agony as she tried to fight back, but her entire body burned and turned into ashes, the axe split her into two halves, then four, six, eight, ten, twenty, a hundred!

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

Each piece of her burned, constantly turning into ashes. Kireina wasn't even paying attention if she had hurt the real one or not!

"Fuck you."

She conjured a giant sphere combining both stars again and fired it at whatever remained of Flora.

"{Chaotic Oblivion}"

BOOOMMM!!!

Space and time distorted and consumed everything, grinding through everything and reducing it to an almost subatomic level. The skies, the ground, everything trembled.

Kireina slowly descended, putting together several divine body pieces and soul fragments she ate and regurgitated.

"There, like new!"

And she rebuilt Flora, after cutting her into a few too many pieces… The Supreme Goddess of Life slowly opened her emerald eyes, gasping for air as she saw Kireina in front of her, her very presence so overwhelming she couldn't even move.

"W-Wha…?! Kireina! You almost killed me!" Flora cried, complaining angrily.

"My bad! I hope you can forgive me, Flora~!" Kireina laughed. "Now we're even though, right? I would NEVER kill you anyways, so don't worry."

"Hahh… Seriously…" Flora grabbed her head, feeling dizzy and exhausted. "That damn crimson portal that abducted us here… When I was falling through those black clouds, a storm of crystals engulfed me and it… fused into my body or something. Then there was that tentacled thing… it touched me and… I lost my mind back there."

"Looks like you went through Spiritual Overload and Mutated into a Spiritual Beast," Kireina said. "Then an Outer God of some sort further mutated you into a Miasmic Beast! Oh right, there was a third person, you don't remember them?"

"N-No…" she muttered. "I can't remember anymore… Hahh…"

"Hmm…" Kireina looked into the distance. "We should hurry, quickly follow me."
