Epic of Caterpillar

So yeah, we explained with Quinn all of what had happened when I ate that Origin Core Fragment, a pretty wild experience if I do say so myself.

My wives and children were all quite surprised, but they quickly accepted it in the end.

"So that's how it is, Quinn was a human from my world, Earth… and yeah, I do remember her previous life, a bit," I said.

"Well, everything is rather different now, very different. So we might as well not harbor hard feelings over the other…" said Quinn.

"Yeah, I had long forgotten whatever I did in my previous life, but I have not forgotten my parents, I will eventually find a way to go back and grab them… Maybe I would spend a few… years on Earth relaxing… Haah~ Maybe I could get to live in the mountains or something? Earth is a very peaceful place compared to Genesis…" I said.

Just imagining living in a large house in the wilderness of Japan with my family made me realize that perhaps that was one of my little dreams.

Can I even get to such a point?

I do not know…

But well, it is worth trying for!

"You want such a thing? You are indeed crazy! Wouldn't it be crazy to go back to Earth? Is it even possible to begin with?" asked Quinn.

"Yeah, it should be… I have already trespassed the barriers of reality and I have clones in two other worlds, but they're disconnected from my mind and are more like separate entities at this point," I said.

"R-Really?! I guess you are indeed ridiculous… I better stay on your good side…" sighed Quinn.

"Fufu, don't worry, you're still my adorable little daughter!" I said, grabbing Quinn.

"U-Uwah! N-No, don't treat me like that anymore! After knowing who you were… I don't want your… motherly love!" said Quinn, resisting my embrace as I grabbed her with one of my arms.

"Fufu, you can't deny that you love your mommy, right? Here, have some milk~" I said, giving my free breast to Quinn as she blushed a bit after seeing it.

"A-Ah… T-That's…! I… Mfuh…!" muttered Quinn, her eyes seemed rather impacted for some reason, as if she were having some kind of internal conflict, at the end, she embraced my breast and began to squeeze it with her little hands, as she drank fresh creamy milk from my tit.

"Fufu, see? You were just hungry, that's why you were going all crazy~ There, there~ In this new world, everything is different, you're Quinn, my adoptive daughter, and I am Kireina, your lovely mommy," I said, I wanted to educate Quinn a bit to be more obedient of her mother, especially because she used to be some street thug, I wanted her to become an honorable ladylike all of my daughters.

A little rough? Maybe, but in the end, she still drank the milk, so maybe she's already getting used to being my daughter, even after knowing the truth of what we used to be in the past, she might be embracing her new life anyways~

Ah…

I was supposed to rise to godhood now, but I am just breastfeeding my two daughters… What do I do?

"So that's how it is… I guess little Quinn is still little Quinn, no matter what she did in her previous life… Look how she's enjoying Honey's milk, she is just a lovely girl now," said Zehe.

"Yeah, she's just herself now, no need to judge her by what she used to be. As Kireina said, that's thing of the past," said Nesiphae.

"I see… So wrapping things up, we got some things to do in here! Like making the Clone meeting and the event for them to find partners!" said Gaby.

"Guuu… That will be fun! …However, Masta, what are we going to do now? After all, we beat the Gods and the war is over, guu… Will we hide in here, gu?" asked Rimuru.

"Rimuru… Well, I have been thinking about taking some time to recover our strength and stabilize the Empire, the people are just getting used to everything and how it changed… Well, I am also planning in exploring the Lower Realm, so we could go on excursions around. Now that I can do a real Teleport, I need to map as much as possible so there are many places we can teleport to," I said.

"I see gu!" said Rimuru.

"So that's all? Now that you are max level…" said Mady.

"Yeah… I will have to… raise to godhood now…" I said.

"Oh! That's amazing, Kireina-sama!" said Alice.

"Indeed, she is finally becoming an official goddess," said Brontes.

"So excited to see you raise to godhood!" said Gaby.

"Yeah, do it! Do it!" said Ismena.

"Err… well, yes I am planning to but there are a few things I must do first such as… grabbing all the sins and heavenly virtues from my Dungeon Shop," I said.

"EH!?" asked everyone.

"Well I've gathered enough points, and I can make enough discounts to get them all, that's the big plan, the Gods said that if I manage to get all sins and heavenly virtues and then raise to godhood, I might become something completely of my own," I said.

"I see… it seems quite incredible…" said Altani.

"You already have Lust and Greed, right, Honey?" asked Zehe.

"Yes, I was given Lust 'for free' and I stole and ate Greed from Thanatos," I said.

"Then what are you waiting for then? Let's get to it!" said Gaby.

"Well, the thing is… I cannot do it with True Body Clones around, so I have to unify as one or separate them from me permanently, which would weaken me… which means that I cannot begin if I am still breastfeeding these sweeties," I said, pointing at the two sleeping Scarlet and Quinn who was drinking milk as they slept.

"Oh… so that's the problem…" said Nesiphae.

"Well, just wait a bit until they're satisfied, we can talk and chat around for now," said Brontes.

"Indeed, no rush," said Sofelaia.

"I suppose so. I wanted to tell you all something important though…" I said.

Everyone then glanced at me a bit seriously.

"Well, after becoming a Living Deity. I will also try for all of you to do the same… although gradually this time. The plan is for all of you to reach godhood! And for that goal, I will use Primordial Essence to give you EXP so you can max your level instantly as well," I said.

"Eh?! Really, guuu?!" asked Rimuru.

"Y-You can do that?!" asked Nesiphae.

"Wow, mommy you're so awesome!" said Amiphossia.

"That's… I guess we will get into that league faster than I imagined…" said Ryo.

"That's crazy! So fast! Nereid the Goddess of… water or something! I like how it sounds!" laughed Nereid.

"Me? A goddess?" said Kjata rather flustered.

"I-I don't think I can handle the responsibility of becoming a goddess…" said Ocypete.

"Come one, it will be alright~," said Smilkas.

"Well we are still far from that point, so you don't need to feel pressured… For now, let's relax a bit more, it seems that the Gods are talking to me about something important going on. I left a True Body Clone inside of Agatheina's Divine Realm…" I said.

As I spent time with my wives and children, I was also with the Gods, sitting in front of a large table where every God sat down around, Agatheina was sitting in my legs while hugging me like the spoiled wife she is.

We were just having some teatime with everyone, discussing my soon raise to godhood.

"Kireina-sama, I can't wait for you to become a Goddess! It will be so incredibly glorious! As you raise to godhood, you gain a title and a divinity, the entire world will know about your existence now!" said Agatheina.

"A Title?" I asked.

"Oh yes, well, you know how we all have Divinity Titles, right? Agatheina has the Title of Vampire Goddess of Blood. I have the Title of Beast Demigod of Horses and Centaur, and so on," said Morpheus.

"Oh… so those titles were not just made up by you guys?" I asked.

"Of course not, Kireina-sama! The System and the World's Will bestow them to us," said Levana.

"Interesting… Well, if I am planning to get the Sins and Heavenly Virtues, I guess my title will be around those things?" I wondered.

"Oh! Right! The Goddess of Sins and Virtues! Sounds good!" said Agatheina.

"Is there such a Divinity as Sins and Virtues?" wondered Gaia.

"No, I don't think there is any, Kireina would be the first to ever wield such a power… and even more as every Sin and Virtue is a separate power that can rival the Gods already… if a being with such power raises to godhood… What will she even become?" wondered Maeralya.

"Certainly, if it is Kireina-sama, she shall become something glorious, admirable, and beautiful!" said Nomera.

"Indeed, I cannot wait for her to become a Goddess, so she can officially become the owner of a God Pantheon!" said Bovdohr.

"So such a thing will happen after that…" I said.

"That's right, Kireina-sama. I can't wait for that to happen as well, if you bed me while being a Goddess, our child might even be born as a Living Deity directly!" said Hydros.

"E-Eh? Is that all you're thinking about?" I asked.

"A-Ah! N-No… I am… genuinely happy about it too!" said Hydros.

"Grr… You only want Kireina-sama to bed you!" said Agatheina furiously.

"Calm down, no need to get all heated up," I said, petting Agatheina's shoulders as she calmed down.

"F-Fine… Only because you ask me, Kireina-sama…" said Agatheina.

"Ah well, I can't wait my turn either," said Gaia.

"Me too," said Hodhyl.

"Oh! Me too, can I?" asked Maeralya.

"Me as well if it doesn't bother you, Kireina-sama!" said Nomera.

"W-Well, I would never dare ask such a bold thing to Kireina-sama… but if she wants to… I-I would gladly bear her child…" Jorgrakog.

"I don't really know what to say about all of this, I am really new… but… me too?" asked Ghiotl.

"Me too- Mfuh?!" said Savaphe, as she was stopped by Dhyellele.

"Don't say anything! Agatheina, look at her!" said Dhyellele, as Savaphe glanced at Agatheina's eyes…

Sigh…

"Grrr…! Y-You! Is that all you're interested in?!" roared Agatheina, as I stopped her from ravaging the Goddesses on her anger.

"C-Calm down please, Agatheina, we talked about this before…" I said.

"I… Y-Yes… Indeed… I should… calm… I should calm down…" said Agatheina.

"God, this woman really has her changes of temper," said Marnet.

"Don't provoke grandmother, Marnet-nii-sama!" said Levana.

"Y-You're right… I should better not provoke her or something…" sighed Marnet.

As I chatted with the Gods, suddenly, Morpheus was shocked by something strange.

"What in the?! This is… Kireina-sama!" he cried, glancing at me with euphoria.

"What is wrong with you?" I asked him.

"This… check the Interdimensional Merchant Shop, please!" said Morpheus.

"Eh? Okay? But why?" I asked, as the Gods checked them too and all of them, even Agatheina, were in shock.

Due to all their reactions, it must be really something bad, right? So I just went to check it right away.

Maybe they were selling some God corpse? But even then, that was too much of a reaction.

Perhaps a new cultivation technique that the gods use instead of skills most of the time?

Or maybe a new Divine Technique Scroll?

Or some kind of super-rare divine material or item?

Well, I just entered it and checked what was new.

A bunch of stuff I don't care about most.

And then…

Eh…?

What is this thing?

This is the thing that taking the Top 1 most sold item in the entire Interdimensional Merchant Shop…

It's a black jewel of sorts.

Its name…

Is…

What?

[Black Jewel of Divinity Devouring (Heavenly+++)]

A Black Jewel was created through special means that possess the essence of a God capable of eating other Gods without any repercussions.

Devour this item to acquire the Divinity Devouring Skill and the Lesser Uroboros Skill.

…

Yeah.

This is it.

I can guess why they are all freaking out.

For fuck's sake, and it is just what Jorgrakog said it happened to her.

"Kireina-sama this is… the same item… they gifted to me…" said Jorgrakog.

"I can see it… These are bad news," I said.
