Epic of Caterpillarchapter 856: a strange abyssal beast awakens!

.

Yesterday, five more of my children became Living Deities.

Belle became the Mermaid Fairy Deity of Eclipse and Dawn, with the Authorities of [Light], [Darkness], and [Eclipse and Dawn]. Belle-chan became way stronger and bigger as she evolved.

…Although not so big! She is still petite and adorable.

Her wings became very big and brilliant. Well, one of them, the other became completely dark, as if she were embodying the darkness itself.

Due to her dual divinity of darkness and light, Belle has a perfect balance between the two. And her entire body showcases this balance in the elements.

Alongside this, her fishtail is also gold and purple, showing the fusion of light and darkness.

Her hair became long and gold and purple too, with shiny white and crimson ends for both ends of her hair.

She even gained a demonic horn in her "dark" side, which was very tiny, while the other half got half of a halo.

I do not know what Belle is even becoming anymore, but she looks very mystical and precious.

Her Authorities give her a greater use of her Divinities and even greater strength as well. Whenever she uses her magic, the power and speed of conjuration are enhanced several times.

With them, she can now create a greater divine domain to summon both an eclipse and dawn within, conjuring powerful magic by draining power from them, which she can employ into powerful spells to devastate enemies.

After Belle became a Goddess, the Harpy siblings came right after, and I raised four of them, leaving the other three for tomorrow, they seemed rather happy with it, so they did not complain or anything (thankfully).

Ocypyne became the Harpy Deity of Iridescent Spring Petals, with the Authorities of [Water], [Wind], and [Spring].

Ocypyne is the Bright Pink chick that exuded powers related to Water attributes, and Wind attributes, which she had great affinities with, and combined them to form strange new forms of magic. She had fluffy pink feathers and yellow eyes. She is also a calm sister-type girl and is often supporting her other siblings through her gentleness.

After becoming a goddess she remained being rather small, but I guess her appearance had now reached 8-9 years of age, though she is already immensely beautiful, I am seeing that she might develop into a beautiful woman.

Her fluffy feathers became longer and very bright, her talons and claws became more refined and smaller. However, her pink hair had become longer and silkier.

Her aura is rather calming to anyone near her, and Sakura petals flow around her from time to time.

Her Authorities help her use her abilities to a greater extent, with more swiftness at the hour of conjuring magic, which she often likes to do in the form of enormous storms of petals of all colors.

Caellaeno became the Harpy Deity of Accursed Abyssal Fire, with the Authorities of [Darkness], [Fire], and [Curse].

Caellaeno is a Deep Dark chick that showed a powerful and dense aura when he was born, which represented shadow and darkness, with the ability to generate dark flames that could easily curse someone if they were to burn them. He is the silent and mysterious type of boy, but sometimes he would like to do odd things that not even we can predict. Though when I am around he is always sweet and likes to cuddle over my belly.

After becoming a Living Deity his wings grew longer than his own body, and his size and appearance became similar to his sister, looking around 8 years old. His hair became longer, and he looked slightly like a goth girl rather than a goth boy.

Well, he is the very silent type and usually barely speaks… but I know that he felt flustered when he evolved.

Alongside this, he gained horns atop his head! And that makes him cuter.

He is a master of using cursed black flames to attack, which he can infuse a series of different effects per curse. Alongside this, his authorities enhance this to ridiculous levels of proficiency and flexibility, so by silent boy should become even better now.

Moving on, Nyphenne became the Harpy Deity of Heroic Emerald Winds, with the Authorities of [Wind] and [Life].

Nyphenne is the bright Green chick that showcased an aura related to Emerald Green Magic and Nature Attribute, with a bit of Life Attribute mixed in when he was born. It had the smallest complexion of the seven, and she was also very dependable, with a kind personality and rather cute.

Well, she had developed a lot now, and she is one of the bravest of the seven siblings, who are always stuck together and often fuse. It gets harder to speak with them as they seem to be able to share and merge their minds as if they were a colony that was able to also act independently… But I believe I spoil them rotten every day, so I am doing a good job!

After becoming a Living deity, Nyphenne became a bit bigger, and she gained another pair of wings like her mother! Alongside this, she got a lot of feathers around her legs, making them able to be used when she flies around.

Her Divine Aura of Emerald Winds is incredibly strong too, and she can showcase amazing power in the air.

Her best battlefield is the heavens themselves, where she can make all the air and wind around her divine domain where she can control it all, throwing enormous masses of wind over any enemy, as if the sky itself was falling over.

Her Authorities enhance this playstyle even more, and she is a true goddess of the wind and sky.

I wonder how strong she and the others can become when fused as Living Deities.

And last but not least, Solyth became the Harpy Deity of Holy Lightning, with the Authorities of [Holy Light], [Thunder].

Solyth is Bright Yellow chick held abilities related to bright light and electricity when she was born, the manipulation of such forces let her manipulate her aura around, creating different mirages of light and powerful attacks if she were to become flustered… whenever she sneezed, strong sparks of lightning would be released from all of her yellow feathers, which would turn rigid due to the static.

She has a very energetic personality and is also quite the righteous girl, and even a bit prideful as well, she likes to order around her siblings to do things, and sees herself as some kind of charismatic leader… after she became a Living Deity this simply was enhanced even further.

Her beauty is now like that of a princess knight of sorts, and her wings shine brightly with holy lightning that sparks all around her, her long and blonde hair is made into twin tails which increases the adorableness by a tenfold.

Her Authorities let her conjure her holy lightning with even greater mastery, swiftness, speed, and strength. Her power is capable of piercing the heavens and reach faraway places almost instantly.

Everyone became very strong, and they breezed through their Divine Trials without any actual problem, which is rather insane to think about. Divine Trials are supposed to be the last trial that a mortal needs to cross to reach divinity, but they made it seem like a nothing burger.

After a while of relaxing, I went with a True Body Clone to raise the next five…

Within the depths of the Lower Realm, there was a hole that led to complete and abyssal darkness.

Such a place was known as the "Bottom Realm", an even deeper area of the Realm of Vida, the last area where there was a space and floor.

It was said that those that dug deep into it would meet with the outer space that surrounds the Realm and contains all Realms.

It was a vastly unexplored area that formed long ago, but it opened just recently.

Gods had too many busy lives to even bothering with going there, nor they wanted to risk their lives by meeting some kind of god living there that could threaten their lives.

Most of the time, such an enormous, gargantuan hole was left completely desolated from anything else, the perpetual darkness and the abyssal depths within were unexplored by many.

Deep within such darkness, delving within this complete obscurity that harbored this hole that led to the deepest areas of this place…

Many creatures that never saw any light at all existed.

Monstrous entities, disfigured, mutated, without shapes that made much sense.

As this was a deep area, any substance or corrupted miasma that fell from the Lower Realm would always reach this place and seep deep into it.

These creatures feed in the constant residual miasma and other materials that fell from the "surface", the creatures were more monstrous than anything in both surfaces of the Realm and reigned over a vast world of complete and perpetual darkness, where fungi and these monsters were the only life.

Or so, many thought.

These beasts harbored so much power that they would begin to mutate, and most of them became Divine Beasts, something often rare in the Realm of Vida which lacked natural Divine Energy.

But this was because of another factor, aside from the constant miasma.

An enormous mass of flesh rested atop the floor, within this complete obscurity and perpetual darkness.

This mass of black and slimy flesh had a large, crimson eye that constantly gazed into the eternal darkness.

The beasts around it often came to this putrid mass of flesh to eat it, munching it and grabbing pieces of it.

It was one of their greatest sustenance, and the more they ate, the stronger they grew.

However, this flesh always grew back after a bit, so it was a constant source of food.

But even then, when the beast preferred something fresher, they would hunt each other, entangling each other with their giant maws filled with sharp teeth, their long necks, and tentacles, and more.

Their roars would sometimes resonate through this darkness, the beasts who were blind yet incredibly good at the hearing would panic, running away from the scene, as the two giant monstrosities fought for supremacy, one of them being defeated and the other eaten, the cries quickly stopped, as the silence once more took ahold of this darkness.

However, as the drops of black blood hit the ground, glowing black veins began to glow through the rocky floor, absorbing this blood and part of the corpse energy, something that the beast did not notice.

The energy and miasma flowed through the veins as they reached the mass of flesh once more, nourishing it.

The crimson eye glowed with bright red light, surprising many of the beasts eating it from the sides, which began to run away immediately.

But then… the eye quickly closed, the light was gone, and the darkness, the calm darkness that kept this world of obscurity with so much silence came back once more.

Only for a split of a second, that is it.

BOOM!

Suddenly, the mass of flesh started to move everywhere in anger and monstrous groans, shaking the entire place and moving its dozens of black tentacles over the floor, annihilating anything around it and turning it into puddles of black flesh and blood, which is quickly and easily absorbed, making it its own power.

"GROOOOOOOWL!"

The beast roared with even more anger, feeling alive after having been in a coma for thousands of years!

After so long, it had finally managed to regain its energies…

It began to slowly gasp for air, moving through this darkness, as its single crimson eye flashed with bright crimson light.

It started to seek light… and more food to nourish itself.

It crawled through the darkness and used its long tentacles to decimate anything that it could perceive, eating all the beasts that once feed themselves from its flesh.

"Hahh… Gods… You damn Gods… I will never forget… Never forget! Revenge… REVENGE! Death… Death to all!" roared the beast, running through the darkness, seeking the faraway light that led to the Lower Realm…
