Chapter 720 - [Scripted Event: War Against Gods] 6/?: Monstrous Appetite! (1/2)
-----
Kabeiro was a Sea Nymph Demigoddess of Floods, she was Hephaestus' third wife, and a good friend of Aglaia, Hephaestus's first wife.
She was born as a young Sea Nymph, a descendant of Gaia herself, who created all Nymphs, Dryads, and other creatures of similar natures in the old Genesis.
Since her young age that her village was attacked by humans, due to the Sea Nymphs flesh and internal Mana Cores being precious cultivation materials for those ages of old, as the only survivor, she was lost in the seas of Genesis for many years, surviving against the abyssal monsters that inhabited that place until one fateful day she discovered a special underwater temple.
By just a chance and luck, she managed to decipher its entrance code, being granted the inheritance of an old Sea God, an immortal cultivator who had reached God Rank hundreds of years ago, and had left his inheritance here before going into a war against other gods, which ended on his demise, most likely absorbed by another god.
Kabeiro grabbed the resources and even found special materials to cultivate, raising her Mortal Ranks incredibly quickly with the cultivation resources, and reaching the peak of the mortal hood after a few years of closed cultivation.
She surged anew, as someone completely different, ready to exert revenge on those humans that destroyed her village.
She fought against many of those humans, to the point of even destroying an entire Kingdom, however, she was almost killed by the Kingdom's Gods who protected that Kingdom, and barely managed to survive on the verge of death.
By chance once more, she managed to survive and heal her wounds, gathering more resources and swearing to one day kill all those gods, until she finally managed to raise into a Living Deity, only to find that she was yet too weak to fight those gods.
She explored the world and discovered many wonders, slowly gathering what she could and cultivating her Divine Realm with what she had, only for one fateful day for Ragnarök to break out.
The world was in chaos, gods fought against each other for resources, all the continents were seen as properties of the Supremes, and she, who was a weak Living Deity, had no place in such a war, hiding as much as she could until she saw her planet explode into pieces…
The end of her homeworld, and then, the rebirth of a new one.
Through the war, she met Hephaestus and was rescued by him after she was left with nowhere to go back to.
She fell in love with the man's gentleness, and he accepted her feelings and beauty, quickly making her his third wife, not much long after, she blessed Hephaestus with several children, while she and her children all raised to Demigodhood.
She had long forgotten the group of Gods who had once killed her village…
However, later on, she finally realized that the family of Gods that did this was the Zeus family itself.
Although Hephaestus had not acted into this hunt, Zeus, Apollo, and others within the family had most likely participated.
She then began to plan a scheme to one day kill them all, for many, hundreds of years, she planned and gathered countless resources, step by step.
Only for all such plans and the future, she had planned to finally avenge the death of her village to come to an end the moment she came with her husband to fight against the one who had stolen one of his children…
The mortals she fought against were incredibly strong and even managed to damage her soul and flesh with deep wounds that inhibited her strength.
Yet Apollo, Cyrene, and Aglaia were there to protect her as she slowly healed herself.
Only for the horror of what Kireina's true capabilities were to unfold themselves.
Kireina had separated herself into several clones, but not all of them really came back to her.
In fact, she had left a lot of them distributed all over the place, enclosed within Pocket Spaces, waiting for the opportunity to attack to Kireina's command.
And that time finally came, as space broke itself in front of Kabeiro while she healed herself, and a monstrous mass of flesh covered in countless eyes, fangs, claws, scales, and more emerged, extending its slimy tentacles and piercing her flesh with countless fangs, dragging her inside its spatial nest…
The pain she felt was tremendous, and all the fears and frustrations she had ever experienced before became nothing against the true horror of the monstrosity that came to eat her.
She released the last cry of agony and fear before she was completely dragged into another space, Aglaia, Apollo, and Cyrene could not manage to rescue her, and Jorgrakog had escaped from Kireina the moment he saw her.
Kireina's main body smiled with her five heads, as she carried her wives away from those Gods with her metallic tentacles.
Through her clone, she entangled Kabeiro and mauled at her constantly, she struggled intensively, hitting her clone, and releasing divine techniques, but her clone resisted and managed to devour and crush her skull, alongside slurping her soul and digesting it all within a few seconds.
Hephaestus and Aglaia were the first ones to realize that the presence of Kabeiro had suddenly disappeared completely…
”No…! NOOOO!”
Aglaia cried in anger and frustration, Kabeiro was one of her best friends, whom she had lived with for many years, feeling her presence suddenly disappear filled her heart with terrible pain, as Apollo and Cyrene hold her, calming her down…
Hephaestus on the other side, who was already filled with rage and insanity, became even more insane as he feels the presence of his beloved wife disappearing completely.
”KABEIRO!!! KIREINA…! YOU DAMN DEMON!”
Hephaestus's rage became even more intense, as his flames covered almost the entirety of the Divine Formation, disregarding the safety of his allies as they flew away from his divine rage.
Jorgrakog leaped out of the range of Hephaestus as he could not help but feel enormous fear surge in his heart, Kireina had just eaten one of his allies, just like that!
Even he had thought that it would be incredibly hard to eat Kabeiro and that he would have to plan a lot if he wanted to ultimately unfold his plans after Kireina were to be defeated… but now, it was as if everything was turned upside down.
”She… just ate that Demigoddess…! So fast…!” thought Jorgrakog, beginning to think that perhaps getting on Hephaestus's side wasn't the best option…
Meanwhile, Kireina smiled as the clone who had eaten Kabeiro appeared right beside her, fusing itself with her and granting her all the power it acquired by eating the Demigoddess.
A surge of new power, a new divinity related to water coated her own body, as she received the memories of Kabeiro and his true intentions of one day defeating the Zeus family. She also acquired the vast knowledge she acc.u.mulated by living even before Genesis was split into Realms, and this also came with the great proficiency over the Water Attribute.
Kireina finally acquired a true Water Attribute Divinity!
She smiled devilishly as her wives who she carried at her side celebrated the small little victory, although they were still running away from Hephaestus's fiery rage and now Aglaia's chase as well.
”Amazing masta, you did it!” said Rimuru.
”We did good in targeting her, she was the weakest, after all, good timing, honey,” said Zehe.
”She was being quite protected, but her clone managed to drag her down in time, well done,” said Brontes.
”Fufu, now, is Aglaia next?” asked Nesiphae.
”That's the plan, I want to amass as much power as possible in here, Hephaestus has used something named Helios fragments, which had increased his power tremendously. However he can't keep them forever, sooner or later they will of Helios, the titan whose those fragments belong to will end up overtaking him. We just need to stall for time until he is either taken over by Helios or ends up detaching the fragments from his soul and ending up terribly weakened…” said Kireina, firing another World-Breaking Chaos Cannon to Hephaestus to hold him back, while using any other divinity-charged attack, although not many of them worked, even Megusan's fire was being turned into ashes now.
”Very well!” said Rimuru.
”So we just run around? That's not so hard…” said Zehe.
