Epic Of Caterpillar

Chapter 179 - Feasting On Fated Heroes

Satisfied after testing my new skills, I healed Nesiphae, Adelle, and Altani from their constant orgasms, which were, in fact, a type of mental attack or negative status effect, it was named [Endless Pleasure] and unless the user falls completely unconscious it will keep on going, altering their sanity. I felt quite sorry after testing this with my wives so I apologized, although after I healed them, they didnʼt remember anything and even felt ”satisfied” for some reason…

These powers are very incredible… I think Iʼm beginning to understand the true nature of my Sin more and more, I wonder if other Realm Menaces develop their powers like this? I imagine Gluttony has just to eat delicious things, but what about Envy, Greed, Sloth, and so on?

If one day I manage to ”steal” the Sin of some of these individuals, how will it react with my already existing Sin? I hope it just doesnʼt make my mind a mess with so many different desires… It could even end up being detrimental to have more than one Sin, even if they are so powerful.

I accompanied Nesiphae, Adelle, and Altani downstairs as I was greeted with the rest of my family in the main dining hall, there was an incredibly long table beautifully decorated with hundreds of small ornaments, and filled with delicious preparations. There was also the King, the Princess, and the Queenʼs younger sister, who was happily enjoying the food alongside my big family.

I wondered where were my servants and soldiers, and it seems that most of them have gone back to my Kingdom, with some staying here enjoying the city, Iʼm planning I staying here for one or two more days, while I absorb the riches inside of the Kingdom and do arrangements to completely absorb Athetosea, for this, I need the Rin Sisters assistance, who are already moving towards here.

As I had a delicious breakfast with my family, I noticed some of my wives having sudden changes in their strength and aura, although none of them have evolved again, most of them gained lots of levels. Alongside this, due to Charlotteʼs efforts in the war, she received new classes and skills accompanied by a Godʼs Blessing, a very strange one.

Charlotte gained the [Blessing of the Demi-God of Chemistry] and the [Blessing of the Demi-God of Magic Guns], a Demi-God of Chemistry doesnʼt seem so far off but a Demi-God of Magic Guns?! Thatʼs quite something… I wonder if this Demi-God is the original creator of such weapons.

Charlotte has always been good with bows and that was her primary Class as a Bowman and Marksman when she was an adventurer, however, now that she has developed her love for Alchemy, she has revealed her true talents. The [Blessing of the Demi-God of Chemistry] is really something, as it not only helps her in the understanding and creation of formulas, potions, and items but also in battle.

Because she developed her own modified Magic Guns using different types of chemicals, she is an outstanding fighter, even when she doesnʼt have much talent with actual magic, giving her the advantage of using a myriad of items and elemental spells without the need of chanting spells. Most likely because of her brilliance, the Demi-God of Magic Guns saw her talent in the modification of his creation and gave her itʼs blessings.

The blessing of this Demi-God was also very special, as itʼs fused together with her previous blessing and gave her hundreds of insights in the creation of different types of Magic Guns of all types, Charlotte is itching for modifying her Magic Gunblade. With my crafting support, it will possible to even craft Mythical Class Magic Guns from now on!

She gained a lot of extra stats due to her new levels, blessings, and Classes. Her new Classes were [Gifted Chemistry Grandmaster] and [Celestial Magic Gunner], however, due to her two blessings ”combining” together, she also obtained the [Alchemist Magic Gunner] Class, that has the potential to further evolve in the future.

[Alchemy Gun Arts: Reversed Effect Item Launch]

Compared to her older stats, only having speed surpassing the three digits, she has grown quite a lot, although she seems to be the weakest of my wives, she has a lot of aces bellow her sleeves and know how to use her capabilities, even with these stats, she showed amazing strength in yesterday war.

Some of her most interesting skills give her the ability to reverse the effects of the Items she uses, alongside this, she can launch them as projectiles. For example, she can now reverse the effect of an Elixir and it will become a deadly poison that can even melt flesh, dealing heavy damage. Or when she is out of healing Items, she can even reverse the effects of a Poison Smoke Bomb and transform it into a Healing Smoke Bomb. Or transform a Potion that increases stats into a debuffing toxin. The possibilities are almost endless now.

Although I would have liked to praise Charlotte, she was currently very shy and embarrassed about what she did in the morning. I quite enjoyed what she did, but well, I wonʼt bother her for now.

And last but not least, I detected some changes in Nephiana, although they were very subtle. When she killed Hammond, the Hero of Raging Winds, she unlocked several new Skills and Classes, alongside awakening her [Epic]. It seems that my theory was indeed true and the God of Storms and Winds rewarded Nephiana.

Alongside a substantial boost in her stats and the complete release of the powers inside of her blessing, she inherited Hammondʼs Class and was now [The Harpy Heroine of Raging Winds], I think this is unprecedented, as Nephiana may be the first-ever Demi-Human with a Hero Title to have ever existed.

She gained other support classes like [Wind Spirit Manipulator], [Storm Paladin], and so on. Nephiana also took all of Hammondʼs equipment for herself, alongside his [Legendary] invisible bow, she also gained the [Phantasmal Relic of the Hero of Raging Winds], which was supposed to be the Heroʼs awakening reward if he ever awakened into [Legendary Hero].

Because I asked about it, she ended up opening the Relic Box right away, obtaining new Phantasmal rank equipment, it was a beautiful Magic Bow named [Illustrious Bow of Storming Winds: Meevaller]. It was a fairly ”simple” bow that had the capabilities of merging with Nephianaʼs soul, giving her the ability to summon it whenever she wanted, she was also able to control it from far away, it didnʼt need arrows as it could create its own, each one having devastating power.

She now had two bows and choose to gift the [Legendary] bow to me, which I accepted with happiness. I will probably devour it when I can.

Nephiana seemed to have been stagnated in her evolution as she had already reached the max level, but now that she received that new Hero Class, she had the ”feeling” of being able to evolve this night, so I am looking forward to that. I wonder how beautiful she will look…

I sat in the middle between Rimuru and Brontes and greeted them with a ”good morning” while giving them a small kiss in their lips. Today, Rimuru belly suddenly inflated too, even when she was slime and our children were too, which was quite intriguing.

As I inspected her belly using [Mystic Eyes], I found out that our children, who were a small mass of Slime suddenly expanded to the size of a human child of nearly eight months, occupying a lot of space inside of Rimuru. Alongside this, she was being constantly drained of her Magic and Stamina, needing to replenish it every two hours. Brontes wasnʼt so different, as she needed to eat very often too, and had a voracious appetite.

Because I wanted everyone to get stronger, I decided to take out some of the corpses of the Elemental Knights and Champions. I decided to share the Knight of Gemstones and Earth meet with everyone. Nephiana also added the meat of the Hero of Raging Winds, as this quickly became a giant feast. Even my Human Wives ate them as if it was perfectly normal… Wait, when did they change so drastically? I thought they found cannibalism disgusting.

I first tried in the meat of the Hero of Raging Winds, which was previously chopped by Nephiana and her father for easy consumption, I decided to eat half of the brain, most of his bones, one leg and a piece of his back.

His meat was certainly like the most premium of beef, from time to time I could even detect some hints of sweetness, his brain was very juicy and nutritious, this guyʼs meat went well with a strong and spicy white wine from Athetosea. Each time I took a bite, I could feel my energy and body quickly becoming stronger, as if I were absorbing immense quantities of energy. When I finished eating, I had obtained five skills.

Ding!

[Kireina] learned the following Skills]

[Blessing of the God of Storms and Wind Qiemis]

[Celestial Emerald Wind Arts: Windʼs Talk]

[Celestial Emerald Winds Complete Creation and Manipulation]

[Lineage of Legendary Heroes; Hamond]

[Legendary Heroʼs Seed; Apheliotes]

These skills were certainly strong, deserving to be from the one holding the title of ”Hero”, given to him by the gods… The three first skills were rather simple but very strong, [Celestial Emerald Winds Complete Creation and Manipulation] is like an evolved [Wind Manipulation], it is capable of manipulating winds and even transform them into [Celestial Emerald Wind], which were the winds Hammond was using to defend and attack.

[Lineage of Legendary Heroes; Hamond] is a strange one… It seems to be a Lineage skill that makes my Blood Lineage stronger, but itʼs not so self-explanatory. But if I fuse this with my Blood Lineage, my children may begin to born as Heroes out of nowhere…

[Legendary Hero Seed; Apheliotes] grants me the ability to create a small ”seed” and implant it in a human, this seed will slowly grow inside of them and unlock their hidden potential while increasing their growth exponentially. Possibly unlocking a Hero Class as well.

Without thinking much, I immediately used it on my three Human wives. However, after I used the first one in Altani, I received a notification about a cooldown, it seems that I need to wait 7 days to implant another Legendary Hero Seed.

Regarding Altani, she only felt like a small ”thing” appeared inside of her chest, but nothing more happened, the seed will probably take some time to begin showing its true powers. I wonder if the baby will be affected by this, but it seems that the skill does not have any negative side effects, so it may end up being beneficial. She told me that after twenty minutes, she gained the skill [Legendary Hero Seed (Active)], so it seems to be a success.

After doing this, I discovered that my family had almost devoured the Gemstone and the Earth Knights already, so I quickly took some pieces for myself before my voracious wives and children devoured even the bones.

The Gemstone Knight was a very tender and young meat, with very little grease but incredibly sweet, with an earthy hint. Even the bones were delicate and crunchy and were filled with juicy marrow. It was an amazing delicacy and it went well with a slightly spicy dark wine.

[Kireina] learned the following Skills]

[Gemstone Knight Arts; Spiritual Gemstone Castle]

[Princess of the Multi-Colored Gemstone Throne]

[Gemstone Beast Familiar Summon]

Last but not least, the Earth Knight meat was very tough, so I had to grill it for a few seconds using [Fire Manipulation] until it was perfectly done, afterward, I added some spicy and sweet sauce which complemented with it perfectly. It went well with a sweet wine as well.

[Kireina] learned the following Skills]

[Earth Knight Arts; Ancient Titan Protection]

[Earth Knight Arts: Silver, Gold and Copper Spears]

[Unmovable Protector of Gaia]

After the outstanding feast, we decided to have a family bath with all my wives and children in the massive baths inside of the Athetosea Castle. Alice and the Athetosea Princess ended up sneaking in. Alice was constantly asking for my attention alongside the Athetosea Princess, but because I was with my children, I rejected their lust and dedicated myself to bath my children while giving attention to Brontes and Rimuru, who enjoyed the steamy and aromatic baths.
