Epic Of Caterpillar

Chapter 569 - [Fated Encounters: Nyzzetʼs Labyrinth Conquest] 31/?: Metamorphosis & Odanth And The High Viper

-----

Begudhur, who had recently woken up from his slumber while trying to devour his own Clones to acquire the powers of Kireina and her family, was currently sitting on his lair, while constantly doing something that could only be thought to be grotesque.

By using the ʼDivinity Devouringʼ Skill he had recently acquired, coupled with the other two Divine Techniques ʼSelf-Devouring Divine Techniqueʼ, and ʼSelf-Parasitism Divine Techniqueʼ, he constantly generated Clones of his own soul and devoured them one after another.

After having acquired these skills, his sense of pain towards eating himself had quickly disappeared, and it only remained with the sense of an amount of power slowly accumulating within his existence.

Due to his unique Divinity, Begudhur had found a way to cultivate his power by self-parasitizing himself and self-devouring himself.

Of course, this could not be used constantly, as Kireina possessed a power similar to this, but simply eating herself did not give her enough power, and it only granted her an increase in power at most.

But Begudhur could be considered to be different in this regard… at the very least, because he was a True God, his innate power was larger, he could not limitlessly eat himself to beat every single being in the world, but he could do it, for now, to strengthen himself up to a certain point, where he would need to prey in something afterward if he wanted to keep growing stronger.

Begudhur started by eating his clones to test his powers, he slowly felt the stats showcased in the System increase, and he could even feel that certain Skills were evolving, such as his Divine Aura.

When he decided in devouring his shattered Divine Core, his Divine Realm came back as a Skill, similar to Kireina…

And his power grew even larger after eating his Divine Core… it was as if he had become something else entirely.

”What is this feeling? What have I now become? Is this the being that can be between the boundaries of mortals and gods… Someone that… Someone that can defy fate and do as he pleases! Just like that Fairy! I have ascended… I have ascended!” laughed Begudhur, drowned on his own power as he quickly began to assimilate various living beings into his host, using his newfound and strange powers, becoming an even more abominable and aberrant being, mutating the body and changing it into his own true vessel.

Begudhur felt that he was slowly merging the soul and the mortal flesh into something more… a metamorphosis of sorts.

”But for my metamorphosis to complete… I must rest while assimilating more flesh and mortals… I cannot be interrupted! I will send them all into those cities… that Fairy seems to be inclined in saving them, so I will happily use them as peons to give me time!” thought Begudhur, as his mass of pulsating flesh cut itself into many Soul Clones through his special Divine Technique, making them inhabit various monsters.

Although he had already sent a few groups to those cities, he was sure that they would be defeated as easily, so his genius plan was to just send many others, these new split souls were charged with his new powers, so he was sure that they could last longer before he could complete his metamorphosis.

Begudhur then shrouded himself on his own pulsating flesh, made by many living beings that he parasitized and stuck together with his new Divine Aura powers, which included assimilation.

The flesh quickly became harder, similar to a cocoon.

Begudhur was slowly reaching a realm that only Kireina had touched, a being that could change the world and the boundaries of fate…

Meanwhile, as the new beasts of Begudhur rushed towards the respective cities to distract Kireina and her family, the ones that were already sent were slowly reaching the second city which they were given the order of destroying and devouring, it was the second nearest of cities.

The lowest floors of the Dungeon were vast landscapes that covered many kilometers, due to this, the giant monsters of over one hundred meters took their time to reach these places, mostly due to their slow movements.

At the city of High Viper, their population, which covered over two hundred and their governor, the Elder Dragon of Thunder Fire, Odanth were completely unaware of the army of giant monsters.
