Epic Of Caterpillar Chapter 121

[Day 110]
Now that I have hunted down every strong nomad tribe there is, there were only some small tribes that remained around. But I didn't want to destroy their population completely, so I will leave those alone, in the future when they have reproduced enough, I may bring my children here once again so they can hunt humans and obtain new skills.
Early in the morning, I sent the two hundred new humans towards my Kingdom through the skies over a flying slime. There are a lot of talented and strong warriors alongside beautiful and strong women that could give birth to very strong goblin and troll children.
Aside from this, there were some awesome news. Thanks to the amazing amount of EXP gained yesterday, Wagyu and Kekensha finally evolved overnight.
Both of them had gained giant sizes, having towering bodies over the six meters.
What was more impressive were their physical changes, which were very interesting, to say the least…
Wagyu evolved into a Shadow Abyss Cerberus Wolf Overlord (Rare Variant) after he gained the blessing of the Goddess of Shadows Nyx.
His new appearance was terrifying. He gained two new heads, which have their own unique personalities, and were something similar to my split minds. Each head had a small gemstone on their forehead and horns. Each gemstone was of a different color.
The middle head is Wagyu's original head, which had a purple gemstone, the left head had a red gemstone and the right head had a dark gemstone.
The same was for the horns. The middle head had three giant dark colored horns that looked demonic and harbored strong magic. The left head had two horns and the right head had only one.
His fur color changed a bit, becoming pure black, with several areas that were dark grey, like his belly and face.
His tail became a purple-colored snake, however, this one didn't have intelligence, but was very calm around us. Its scales were as hard as adamantine and could secrete a powerful and deadly poison and even spit dark fire.
Wagyu's new power was incredible, his stats skyrocketed the moment he evolved, surpassing even Overlord class and becoming a Mid Overlord. And even if he wasn't humanoid, he obtained a class anyways, which boosted his power and gave him several techniques and skills.

There were so many new skills on Wagyu skill window that it resembled mine, and I stopped reading as I wanted to check on Kekensha's too.
Kekensha evolved into a Four-Winged Divine Golden Wolf Overlord (Rare Variant), after receiving the Blessing of the God of Light Apollo.
Yes, you heard me right, Apollo blessed Kekensha, the same God that blessed Evan and then gave me Evan for free, while blessing me instead…
I can't even understand the mentality of these gods…
Being a complete contrast from Wagyu, Kekensha evolved form was quite majestic, his entire body exuded a bright light, and each time his silky and soft fur moved, it would let out several sparkles.

He gained a complete golden colored fur, resembling the highest quality of gold there is. However, he had some fur that was white-colored, especially on his belly and face. He had only one horn on his forehead that seemed to be made of pure gold.
His nails and fangs became golden colored, and he gained a giant yellow gem on his forehead, which gave him a bonus on Light magic affinity.
The most surprising thing about his evolution was the four gigantic pair of golden and white wings, filled with beautiful feathers, that was as hard as adamantine. He was now able to fly at incredible speeds, similar to the skill [Light Speed Flight], which he also gained with his evolution.
His power was almost comparable to Wagyu, but Kekensha seemed to be more focused on taking hits and protecting its allies, similar to a Paladin role on videogames. However, he still had strong magic that could easily blast enemies from the distance.
What was interesting is that although he could fly so fast, his speed stat was still quite low, but the skills he had were able to compensate for this flaw.

[Holy Light Super Speed Recovery] [Tireless Guardian] [Light Absorption]
[Holy Absorption] [All Damage Reduction] [Safe Sanctuary Domain] etc…
These two have become very reliable guys now, I'm quite proud of their growth…
Due to having classes now, even if they aren't humanoid, they can use the equipment, however, this equipment needs to fit on their body. So, we will need to make special armor and weapons for them to use.
For now, I gifted each other with a [Unique+++] Pendant made to their neck sizes using [Organic Equipment Materialization and Creation].
Wagyu's pendant was named [Void Abyss Eyes Golden Pendant], a special equipment made with several accessories I have devoured alongside Shadow Spirit Stones and Phantom Spirit Stones. It increases his speed, strength, and defenses.
For Kekensha, I made the [Sacred Protector Blessed Gemstone Pendant], made with several accessories and various Light Spirit Stones and Holy Spirit Stones concentrated into one single gem. It increases his defenses, speed, and magic greatly.
Although I felt that my gift was lacking, both of them seemed to love these pendants and immediately equipped them, afterward, they bathed me on their giant tongue licks. And I played around with them. Even after becoming so strong and holding such terrific power, they're still my loyal servants and are considered my family since long ago.
Today was a relaxed and laid-back day, were made the floating carriage slowly move towards that dungeon town on the Vast Plains, which was originally made out of Nomads, but now has connections with the Athetosea Kingdom.
This town is named Evergreen, and surrounds the Ancient Dragonoids Mace, a dungeon constructed long ago by a now-extinct race of demi-humans named Dragonoids. After hundreds of years, the place naturally became a dungeon and began to get infested with powerful monsters and bosses, which dropped valuable materials.
The interesting thing about this dungeon is the respawn of bosses and monsters, something that hasn't happened on the Shrine Dungeons on Grand Forest. After defeating the last boss, monsters would never spawn again. But this seems to be an exception, as its normal for dungeons to respawn even the strongest boss after some time.

I mostly dedicated myself to train my children, while spending some time with my wives. Each one had their own time with me, as we talked, trained or just rested while admiring the blue sky.
Altani has taken her new status has my wife, quite fast, her calm demeanor and composed personality never ends to amaze me. It seems to be the talent of nomads to adapt to things very easily.
She has recently noticed that she was pregnant, and began to sew new clothes. She is a surprisingly talented Tailor, so I gave her the task to make some clothes for everyone, of course, she will be paid generously. However, she said that she was happy to do anything to help us, and as long as we kept doing our night activities, she would be satisfied.
Hmm, I didn't know that she had such hidden lust and urges, she may have been resisting for very long since her husband died… Well, it's not like its anything bad.
As the night came, I had a busy night with all my wives once again, and now that I was able to change into my male form once again, I made sure to impregnate Charlotte and Lilith.
I also did it with Nesiphae, Zehe, and Gaby again, but I don't think they will get pregnant for a while, as they stop producing ovules for some time after giving birth. Well, I won't back down if they become pregnant once again, I will welcome my new child with all my love and care.

[Day 111]
Before leaving towards Evergreen Town, I crafted four [Fake Illusion Pendant] for my four children, as I originally came here to train them in the dungeon.
I don't want to fight or kill any humans here, for now. As it would easily create issues with the Athetosea Kingdom and I don't want them to know about my existence yet.
Brainwashing them would take some time, and my children already cannot wait to enter and explore their first dungeon, so this will have to wait. Although I already spread my flesh and slime minions all across the town.
It's rather small and there are only two thousand people. Most of them are composed of adventurers. There is a small guild facility were the adventurer's register to enter the dungeon. Having an [Adventurer Pass], you can freely enter in and out of the dungeon, it seems that the guild takes some of what you win inside of the dungeon as taxes, around 20%.
Having my children pendant done, we descended some meters away from the town entrance and we slowly walked there. The ones who stayed in the carriage were Altani, Yisu and various of my flesh and slime minions. Everyone else wanted to go an explore the town and the dungeon.
They might say something about Wagyu and Kekensha's appearance, as they resemble two dungeon bosses… Due to this, I previously coated them on several Illusion Cloaks to make them seem less dangerous, resembling tamed monsters, which are common enough in the Vast Plains.
My children and wives had some Illusion Cloaks on them too, just to make them look less intimidating.
Everything went quite smoothly, although the guards were surprised over the sudden appearance of a big demi-human group, demi-humans aren't as rare on the Vast Plains, as there are some small tribes scattered in this region.
The two guards were also veterans and were accustomed to dealing with other races, so we didn't have any issues. Well, I also did some things, like captivating them with my Charm, to the point where they nodded to anything, I asked for them to do.
Thankfully, due to my Illusion Cloaks, our group didn't attract much attention, and we had a nice trip around. It was rather interesting to be in a human town without the intention of just eating them or brainwashing everyone from the start.
Well, I've eaten so many humans now that I feel satisfied and not as hungry for their flesh as before. However, this may change if I come across a strong enough human.
And well, I did. There were tons of very experienced veteran adventurers all around town. So many that it was rather hard to keep my focus… Thankfully, we entered a rather expensive restaurant and I ate to my heart content, satisfying my hunger for now.
Human food was very delicious, even more than Aquarian cuisine and Chokumotsu preparations…
We were served several types of grilled meat with countless different sauces, from sweet ones to spicy ones, there was yogurt sauces and such.
The food in this town was highly inclined over the ancient nomad recipes, which were mostly grilled meat made in different ways. There was also meat filled with vegetables, boiled grains, and even noodles. With a delicious green sauce resembling Pesto Sauce.
The alcohol wasn't bad either, their beer was unique, having a minty flavor, being of clear green color. They seem to ferment a special plant that grows in the Vast Plains that has a very unique mint flavor. The beer is sweetened with common honey afterward.
After drinking more than ten glasses, it became almost addictive. And I ended up buying all the beer from the restaurant. Saving it on my Item Box, which surprised some people, as they weren't accustomed to seeing someone with such a wide Item Box.
Phew… After eating so much for many hours, everyone was very satisfied. At around 3 PM, I headed toward the guild to register my group.
Things went quite smoothly, using my natural charming skill, I was able to convince any weaker being than myself. And because everyone here is weaker than me, they are on the palm of my hands.
The receptionist was a cute woman with blonde hair and aquamarine eyes. Even with all the Illusion cloaks, some adventurers still looked at my big group with surprised eyes.
However, the receptionist was polite and well behaved. An attended each one of us. It took several hours to actually do all the papers and register all of us. Especially because we didn't have any previous credentials from belonging to any known Kingdom except Evan, Charlotte, and Lilith, so she had to do everything from scratch.
When everything was done, each one of us received a small wooden plate that had carved some general information about us. From race, name, and characteristics, alongside classes. Wagyu and Kekensha were registered as "tamed pets" and didn't receive one, but were registered on my wooden plate.
Because we were so many, the receptionist recommended us to create a small independent group, something similar to a mercenary group, but still registered on the guild.
Seeing no problem at all, I accepted. I named our group "Scarlet Butterfly".
----------------------------------
Adventurer Name: Analice
Adventurer Rank: D
Race: High Fairy
Class: Wizard
Independent Group: Scarlet Butterfly (Leader)
---------------------------------
Oh, I decided to change my name for this occasion, the rest of my family and servants did mostly the same. Giving away our true names would be too dangerous.
It seems that I can increase my Adventurer Rank by taking tests with some adventurer veterans, but because I don't want to reveal my power or that of my family, and neither want to become famous. I declined the offer.
Because it was getting quite late, we decided to move the dungeon exploration for tomorrow.
We spent some hours finding an Inn that had space for Nesiphae, Amiphossia, and Valentia, but there were some, surprisingly. The giant rooms were quite pricy, but I didn't lack gold.
I've been thinking about how good could I sell the items I can create. Even though I can create things with gold coatings, I cannot create just a piece of gold or a gold coin. So, I need to see the value of what I can create and gain gold this way. Well, I could always just send flesh and slime minions to steal gold somewhere. But knowing the real value of my items would be fun.

#Call Cthulhu
An eldritch comedy. After Cthulhu is summoned into the world, the whole place goes to shit. Things really got out of hand after Cthulhu got nuked. Alex and Julius, a pair of brothers, try their best to make it in a North America reshaped by an eldritch apocalypse. “Stop right there Philip!” Julius interrupted, the vein on his temple starting to throb. “I do not want to hear another simile about what magic is. I have had magic explained to me by three cult leaders, a wizard, and a cannibal. I've heard that magic is like a rainbow, all its parts blending together. The human unconsciousness, powerful and unknowable. A body, you don't want to eat the heart straight away. I am sick and tired of people telling me what magic is. I know damn well what it is.” He drew a breath, interrupting his rant. “Magic is a bad joke. A whole lot of setup, for some nonsense punchline. This whole god-damned apocalypse is an eldritch comedy.”
