Epic of Caterpillar
Chapter 750: [Scripted Event: War Against Gods] 32/?: Guubo Joins In!Elrinneth had finally achieved it!
She managed to steal a precious Skill from Wall, after having tried five times, she finally managed to get herself an advantage!
The Divine Environment and Mechanical Symbiosis and Assimilation Skill was a powerful Skill born from the combination of many other Skills that Wall possessed, this Skill was vital for her, as it let her assimilate the environment for power, alongside gaining the ability to fuse with it and also generate mechanical constructions through its body, such as its guns and cannons…
However, the moment she had such a precious Skill stolen, she did not lose the power to do these things, as those were inherent to her. But because Skills made most things more efficient and easier to do, she lost the ability to generate guns and cannons almost instantly and needed time to generate them and then fire attacks.
She still had her ability to absorb energy from the environment too, as other Skills helped her to do that, but it became also less efficient than before…
This was the true power of the Sin of Greed, to completely defy logic and steal a Skill from someone, stealing their power completely and making it the power of the wielder.
Although other Sins such as Gluttony could get Skills from what it ate, it came with the aftereffect of losing the wielder's sanity, while also needing to kill and devour the prey to acquire its power.
This is why the Sin of Greed and its Plunder was clearly easier and more efficient than Gluttony's Devour.
However, they were efficient but not always good, as the Skill stolen would be completely random, and the larger was the skill list of the enemy, the lower were the chances to get something that could make a difference.
And because there were only five chances to get a Skill from an enemy before the System itself denied Plunder from hat individual, Elrinneth could leave things to luck.
However, against her expectations, she actually lucked out, and acquired an immensely powerful and vital Skill for Wall!
Elrinneth had finally acquired not only an immense power source but also the ability to shapeshift her body freely through Mechanical and Environment Symbiosis!
Even though she had used Plunder in many living beings since she was a child, she never managed to get a Skill that could let her manipulate her flesh like a Slime, as the aspect of Plunder was completely random, and after trying it out in enough types of monsters, it did not work in entire races, so even then, she only had a limited amount of uses even amongst entire races of monsters.
However, Wall was clearly not only a Slime, but a Golem and also a Synthetic Lifeform, a new type of being created by Kireina's combination of unique abilities, if it weren't because of Kireina's existence, Wall wouldn't exist, as she was the entire creation of Kireina's absurd combined Skills and other capabilities that defied logic even when she was a mortal, before even eating a single God.
The Greedy Queen, who had already seeped her flesh into the ground and began to assimilate it while covering herself with countless gatling guns and cannons, fired an enormous barrage of attacks towards the confused and weakened Wall!
However, right before that attack could hit Wall, Guubo, another of Kireina's unique and powerful creations came for the rescue!
Guubo was also an immensely strong being, although not as much as Wall in some things.
Guubo is an incredibly powerful Slime-type monster that was made when Kireina fused thousands of slimes together, and as it was born, it ate one of the Forest's Guardians, acquiring its title and becoming even stronger afterward.
Through many months, Guubo has been protecting the Forest while constantly eating monsters and leveling up, sometimes even getting inside Dungeons through its enormous body, or even dividing itself into 'Mini Guubos' to explore more of the Dungeon depths, devouring everything with its enormous voracity and leveling even further.
Kireina also kept investing and using resources on Guubo and forcing evolutions on him that strengthened him further beyond.
Thanks to Guubo's training and polishing of its Skills, even without having ever left the Grand Forest completely, it became an admirably strong being.
Strong enough to reflect a gigantic Chaos Cannon sent straight towards Wall with a powerful spell, combining the many Magic Affinities it learned, fusing them together, leveling it, awakening it multiple times, and then fusing it with even more Skills… the pinnacle of Guubo's Magic Skills, Divine Spiritual Slime Beast Guardian Magic!
By using one of its strongest Spells, Heavenly Mirror Barrier of Magic Reflection, Guubo managed to reflect such a powerful and unstable Attribute such as Chaos Attribute, sending the attack back at the Greedy Queen!
BOOM!
"Ungh… Youuuu…! I was going to finally kill this thing, and another weird creature has appeared?! Heh… Hehehe! Well, isn't that a good thing though?! More Skills for me to steal!" laughed the Greedy Queen, who had absorbed back her reflected attack, and began to mutate monstrously while assimilating more of the ground and the environment, covering herself with mechanical plates and several long-ranged weapons!
"No matter what you are, with this Skill I have stolen, I have unlimited power and the ability to shapeshift however I want as long as I am absorbing the environment…! I am more akin to a Goddess now! Gyahahahaha! Annihilation Phantom Breath! Dark Shadow Chaos Cannon! Omni-Elemental Magical Storm!"
The Greedy Queen laughed maliciously, as her enormous and monstrous body covered in metal, cannons, guns, and an enormous mass of dirt, trees, rocks, and more, rushed towards Wall while firing several long-ranged large-scale attacks!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAn enormous breath made of disintegrating phantom, a gigantic cannon of shadow and chaos, and a large storm made of many elements fell upon Guubo and Wall, as Guubo began to generate countless Magic Barriers through its ability to draw power from the environment similarly to Wall.
Meanwhile, Wall had to tank the other hits, while Guubo constantly conjured healing Skills that helped her get by.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Wall, can you fight back, guubo?" asked Guubo.
"One of my crucial Skills was stolen… I do not think I can create long-ranged attacks such as my cannons or bullets as easily anymore…! Although I believe I can conjure magic, now that my efficiency while extracting energy from the environment became slower, I do not think I can make a big one… I'm sorry for being so useless, Guubo-san!" cried Wall.
"Useless? You are not useless, Wall! You are still an immensely strong Wall, this is why Master created you! Your HP Pool even with a slower regeneration is immense… And I am pretty sure that if you can fight physical, you still pack a punch!" said Guubo.
"But I am too slow to approach her, and she is becoming too strong…!" cried Wall.
"Then… let's fuse, if our stats combine, we will be able to move faster!" said Guubo.
"F-Fuse?! B-But that's… l-lewd!" said Wall.
"Lewd? What are you talking about, Wall? Master gave us these new accessories to fuse, let's do it, guubo!" said Guubo.
"Uwah… A-Alright then!" said Wall.
"What are you chatting all about?! I shall devour you two, and assimilate you!" roared the Greedy Queen, discovering that she could actually assimilate this enormous golem instead of having to take so long to kill it, and become even more grotesquely strong!
However, her plans quickly came to half as she saw an incredibly bright yellow light emerge from Guubo's enormous body!
"Fusion!" roared Guubo, seeping into Wall's gigantic body!
"Fusion!" cried Wall embarrassedly, as her entire body and soul fused with that of Guubo's!
Flash!
Both Guubo and Wall became one, their souls fused, their bodies fused, and even their Auras did!
The enormous body of Wall began to shine brightly, as it gained a larger body, and it even changed from black and purple to rainbow and gold!
"We cannot separate from the entire Wall though, as we need to protect the Empire! However, we can simply do this!" said Guubo's voice, as the fusion began to accumulate a large amount of power within a single spot in a split of a second, as a gigantic slimy golem emerged, the combination of both Wall and Guubo's bodies was a rather simple design, but its power was… constantly surging!
"Oh! Is this what Master calls True Body Clones?" asked Wall.
"Indeed! By dividing our bodies but not our souls, we can create a large clone that shares half of our original and combined stats, enough to beat this Greedy Queen, or at least maintain her occupied while reinforcements arrive, guuuboooo!" roared Guubo's voice, as the Greedy Queen charged towards the fusion with a wicked smile, her enormous body shaped like a gigantic cannon, gathering enormously ridiculous quantities of energy and then firing it mercilessly!
Flash!
"Let's do it, for our homeeee!" roared Guubo and Wall's voices, as the enormous, combined slime-golem rushed towards the Greedy Queen, generating a gigantic barrier, and taking over the enormous cannon attack!
CLASH!
"W-What?!" cried the Greedy Queen, being taken aback by her wicked state as she was brought to reality… just by simply fusing, these two creatures blocked one of her strongest attacks!
"Super Divine Reinforcement! Attack Enhancement! Endless Barrage of Rainbow Blades! Divinity Devouring!" roared Guubo and Wall's voices, together as one, the fusion conjured several enhancing Skills, temporarily increasing their attack power and then unleashing an endless barrage of 20 floor buildings-sized blades made of materialized rainbow slime alongside Wall's black slime!
Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!
The Greedy Queen generated countless barriers through her almost endless amount of energy, however, each barrier was being broken by Guubo and Wall's endless barrage, and shattered into pieces until it reached the Greedy Queen!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
As if she were being bombarded by countless tiny airplanes, the enormous titan that the Greedy Queen had turned into was being shrouded in rainbow explosions, losing large chunks of her body that turned into ashes within seconds!
"Unnngrraaaaahhh…! You… bastards! I am going to live… And I shall triumph for Thanatos… sama!!! Chaotic Aura! Attribute Disruption! Anti-Magic Wave! Disintegrating Eye Lasers!"
The Greedy Queen roared fiercely as she struggled to survive the enormous attack, shrouding herself in her Chaotic Aura and then conjuring Attribute Disruption to slightly disrupt Guubo and Wall's attack, Anti-Magic Wave negated the magic of the attacks, and then Disintegrating Eye Lasers were fired from enormous eyes around the Greedy Queen's body, clashing against Guubo and Wall's titanic body, leaving deep wounds that immediately regenerated!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Deadly Chaotic Cannons! Whipping Tentacles!" roared the fusion, as they fired large cannons of chaos attribute by employing the Chaos Attribute Mana Cores created by Kireina for Wall's use, while also unleashing titanic tentacles and attacking the Greedy Queen from the sides.
Boom! Boom! Clash! Slash!
"Grrryaaaa…!"
The Greedy Queen was overwhelmed, as her entire chest was blown off, and the rest of her body torn apart!
Boom!
Her body had mutated into a chaotic mess, and although a large amount of it was lost, she kept fusing into the ground and merging with everything, becoming more and more immense once more!
Her shape was already completely different, resembling a monstrous mechanical wolf, covered in countless rocks and minerals, alongside cannons, shotguns, and other long-range weapons, and an enormous and chaotic phantom aura!
"GRRAAAAAAAAHHH! PLUNDER!" she roared, leaping towards Guubo and Wall.
"She's going to use that attack again!" shouted Wall's voice.
"Not at my sight, guuubooo! Heavenly Rainbow Flames!"
Guubo and Wall's fusion combined their strength, conjuring an enormous quantity of rainbow flames that covered the Greedy Queen's entire body, and then by using their new speed, jumping out of her chaotic phantom claws.
The Greedy Queen's body fell to the ground, as the rainbow fire began to consume her soul!
"Nnngggrrryaaaahh…!"
Her eyes gleamed with crimson and eerie light, roaring like a mad fox, Greed was now possessing her entire judgment, she was becoming the embodiment of the beast while suffering so much, the Greedy Vixen!
"She's… even absorbing those flames?" wondered Guubo.
"Don't worry, our other body got her!" said Wall, as behind the raging Giant Greedy Vixen, a gigantic fist appeared, weighing thousands of tons and moving quickly towards her!
"GRRRRRAAA-"
BOOM!
The gigantic fist clashed against her entire body, crushing it into the ground like a pancake, as her very soul also received a large hit!
"UNNGGRRYAAAA…!"
CLASH!
"And now! Heavenly Chaotic Spiritual Spears!!!" roared Guubo and Wall, jumping into the air and flying with enormous slimy wings, generating hundreds of gigantic building-sized spears made off their materialized bodies!
Flash! Flash! Flash! Flash! Flash! Flash!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Greedy Queen roared, struggled, attacked, and tried her best, but the enormous pressure from the fist and the constant damage from the spears slowly began to fragment her very soul!
How could it be?!
She was the Sin of Greed!
A Realm Menace that would bring chaos and despair to the entire Realm of Vida!
How could she lose to these two beasts?!
Inside of her mind, Elrinneth could not help but feel incredible fear, frustration, and rage!
"This… Wasn't how it was supposed to go…! Unngghh…! I was supposed to fight Kireina! Not these… pathetic and lowly beasts! Aaagghh…! Unnngggyyaaaaaaaaahhhhh…!"
Crack, crack!
CRASH!
The Greedy Queen's soul was… shattered!
Crumble…
Her Soul fragments fell into the ground, as her gigantic fox-shaped body slowly fell into pieces…
Kireina's children glanced at Guubo and Wall's excellent work as they had already finished theirs, the Greedy Queen was slain…!
However!
BOOM!
An enormous cannon of Divine Power clashed against Wall's True Body Clone, sending it flying through the air like nothing!
Clash!
The enormous body fell into the ground, as Kireina's children and the rest of Kireina's servants and allies gathered around Guubo and Wall's fusion, glancing at the origin of that attack!
From within the sky, three figures emerged… these were the Demigods, children of Kabeiro and Hephaestus!
"Oh, they're finally back, huh?" said Ryo with a confident smile, his eyes blazing with conviction.
"Time to teach them a lesson!" said Amiphossia.
"We'll beat them really good!" said Valentia.
"Leave the magic to me!" said Aarae.
"Me too!" said Ailine.
"El Dorado, get ready!" said Vudia.
"Let's protect our home!" roared Truhan and Celica's fusion.
"Let's do this!" roared the Wyvern's fusion.
The three Demigods glanced at these filthy and insolent mortals with disgust on their faces…
"Let's end these pathetic vermin!" they said.
