Epic of Caterpillar

Chapter 852 - She\'s Finally Here

As I was having breakfast with my family, I began to consider raising the next boys and girls to godhood.

"Now we are next, right, mommy?" asked Vudia.

"Godhood… We\'ll become divine? Like mommy? I wonder what kind of spells I can develop with true Divine Energy. The one we create seems to not be enough!" said Ailine.

My children all can produce a certain type of low-quality-type Divine Energy, but to refine it and produce true divine energy, they have to become Living Deities!

So now that Amiphossia, Ryo, Valentia, and Aarae were done, Vudia, Ailine, Belle, and some of the Harpy Siblings were next…

"Indeed, you will shine the brightest today after you finally raise to godhood! I can\'t wait either," I said.

"I wonder if you will turn into a titan too…" said Brontes.

"Eeeh? I really wouldn\'t like that mommy…" said Vudia.

"Guuu… Masta, there\'s something I want to tell you…" said Rimuru.

"Hm? Yes?" I asked.

"W-Well… Blooia-san spoke to me through her dreams, and now she\'s waiting inside my Divine Realm! She really wants to come here and meet everyone! She wants to join the Pantheon!" said Rimuru.

…

Eh?

Blooia?

Blooia… like… the Demigoddess of Slimes and Water?!

Really?

That Blooia?

The infamous goddess!

She\'s finally coming here?

For real, a ton of Gods had joined me before her, who was supposed to be one of our first benefactors…

Why did she take so freaking long?!

"Blooia?! Alright… let her come here…" I said.

"Wait, that\' Blooia?!" asked Brontes.

"Yes, I bet it is the same that blessed Rimuru and also the Slime Family," said Zehe.

"Quickly call the girls!" said Gaby, as she sent Gubo to go look for the Slime Family.

"Okay then, Masta… h-here she is guu… This is a bit anticlimactic guu…" said Rimuru, opening a portal to her divine realm, as a figure that resembled her a lot appeared, slowly entering the hall where we were.

She was rather…. Outstandingly beautiful!

She looked too much like Rimuru too, with her blue and watery skin, shiny yellow eyes, long and watery hair, wide and plump h.i.p.s, and bouncy and round b.r.e.a.s.ts… her face was also rather sweet, and her lips quite big, making her seem like a milf version of Rimuru… but Rimuru was also kind of a milf, so two slime milf girls?!

Although Rimuru had finally reached her same Realm of Divinity, Blooia seemed still a bit more intimidating, at least in her aura, which she had nurtured for way longer than Rimuru and I.

But well, I have seen, fought, and eaten many old gods already, so this was not much.

"It is a p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to meet everyone… It has truly been a while since my last activity blessing-wise… But I have always been watching over everyone…" said Blooia, her voice was like that of a gentle and youthful mother. She was indeed filled with that motherly feeling authentic of a Milf.

"Welcome, Blooia-san… It is really quite crazy that you came here out of nowhere. I had already assumed you wouldn\'t meet with us, but I guess I was wrong? Though, couldn\'t you join earlier?!" I asked her.

Suddenly, Blooia hugged Rimuru.

"S-Sorry! I am just… a cowardly woman! I don\'t like to fight guuuuu…" cried Blooia.

Oh, so another Nyzzet…

Rimuru embraced Blooia and hugged her while petting her head.

After comforting her for a while and making several introductions to everyone, she finally came to sit near Rimuru, and some of the other Gods came here as well, "Representing" our pantheon, such as Hodhyl, Morpheus, Merveim, Marnet, Maeralya, and Gaia.

Why can\'t Agatheina relax?

Well, that is simple to guess when you understand her personality. I think she thinks that Blooia wants to use her connections with Rimuru and the Slime Family and use it as a way to get into our Pantheon and be protected without giving anything else in exchange.

"It is nice to have you onboard, Blooia-san!" said Rimuru.

"So there was a Slime Goddess even before mommy?! That\'s crazy!" said Ailine.

"Just looking at her feels like we are looking at our mother, what a strange feeling…" said Shion.

"Yeah, it\'s insane! Can we call you mom?" asked Milim.

"E-Eh? Sure… Fufu. It makes me happy to be seen as a mother by my children…" said Blooia.

"I don\'t know why you call us children though, I am sure that I was summoned, not really born," said Rimuru.

"O-Oh… Well, there is a slight thing I should reveal. Well, as I am the Goddess of Slimes, I created them in this world…" said Blooia.

"What?!" I asked.

I remember that in Kritias there are also Slimes! So I thought they were a staple of every fantasy world, but I guess in Genesis, they were created by a single goddess… welp.

But how?!

"Can you explain how? A bit of a little introduction of your life would be nice too, as you are becoming part of our Pantheon, it would be nice to know more," I said.

Although I harbored a lot of knowledge, even the memories of the Gods or the basic info within the Origin Core Fragment did not have much about the Slimes origin, I only remember it being something that just appeared alongside the many other monsters across all Realms.

Not even other Gods such as Agatheina knew about Blooia that much…

"Y-Yeah, although we had never thought about it, we really don\'t know much about you, Blooia. You are a mysterious goddess that doesn\'t go out much, aren\'t you?" asked Hodhyl.

"Indeed. I have no idea how slimes came to be now that I think about it. We always just give everything for granted. But it is true… now that we think about it, it is really like a mystery…" said Maeralya.

"Well, Slimes definitely didn\'t exist in the old Kritias. Although there were other types of weird creatures such as living clouds such as Geggoron… There are other vicious creatures, but they always had physical bodies, even those gods that resemble slimes aren\'t truly slimes, but other creatures that coat themselves in slimy substances…" said Gaia.

"Oh yeah, you are right… I guess Slimes are true quite the mystery," said Merveim.

"Does it really matters that much?" asked Marnet.

"Of course it does, stupid brother! Don\'t be ignorant," said Maeralya, slapping Marnet\'s head.

"Agh!" cried Marnet.

"A-Anyways, it would be nice to hear Blooia-san speak, everyone," said Morpheus.

"T-Thanks, Morpheus-san… Anyways, as I said, I am the mother of all Slimes. I created the race of slimes and it could be said that every Slime descends from my own slime, which I call Primordial Slime. Summoned Slimes are also formed when a tiny piece of my endlessly big physical body is lost, which I regenerate instantly," said Blooia.

"Wait… endlessly… big?" I asked.

"Of course! I am the Primordial Slime after all! This form is but a Divine Technique of mine, my real body is incredibly big, almost endless! Eh, well, it is not really endless… Sorry, I am just clumsy sometimes…" said Blooia.

I see where the other Slimes clumsiness comes from now…

Oof, I shall never say that out loud.

"I see… But from where do you originate?" asked Gaia.

"Oh! It will be quite a long story… Or not? Well, I originate from ancient times, when Genesis was still a planet. My creator and parent were the Ancient True Spirit of Water… I was one of the few Divine Beasts that it created to protect his domain. He designed me as an entity that was made entirely out of vicious, water-like slime without any organs or something… Well, I do have a core, which he also designed to work as many things as possible. However, there are other variants without cores now… But I originally had a core, where my mana was acc.u.mulated, alongside my powers…" said Blooia.

"THE TRUE SPIRIT OF WATER?!" asked Nefertiti in surprise. From all the Spirits present, she was the only authentic spirit that did not use to be a mortal before. She is a direct descendant of the True Light Spirit of old too.

To refresh the memory, True Spirits were the first creations of the World\'s Will when it finally took hold of Genesis\'s Origin Core.

Most of the humans escaped into space into giant colonies, while those that remained in this new and magical world developed themselves closely to this new world with magic, and developed the ability to use Mana.

However, to maintain the magic elements which the World\'s Will needed to maintain to create a rich magic-based atmosphere where it could live comfortably within (as it seemed that magic-less areas weakened it), it created the True Spirits of all the "classic" Elements to maintain these Attributes around the planet, which only ended intensifying the power of magic even more.

They became pillars of the elements and could be considered as the first "true gods" as well, as they had almighty powers and amazing divine talent, their strength could be considered similar to Supreme Gods… yet they were killed by the mortals that also reached their level of strength.

These True Spirits also created many children from pieces of their bodies, creating the lineage of true spirits, where Nefertiti comes from.

True Spirits do not reproduce s.e.x.u.a.lly but divide themselves, similarly to Nefertiti\'s parent, which she said divided itself to create her like a lump of light.

Nefertiti\'s true form is actually an immense ray of pure light… but her dog-girl form is cuter.

I was able to i.m.p.r.e.g.n.a.t.e her thanks to my unique physiology, abilities, and powers, but I do not think it is possible to do this conventionally.

Half-Spirits are born from the system, and are different from those that descend from the True Spirits… Brontes, Nereid, Ocypete, Kjata, and Smilkas are all Half-Spirits.

So, the origin of Spirits as those that are made entirely out of attribute mana and spiritual souls comes from the World\'s Will itself, and it could be said that they are the World\'s Will distant descendants.

So Blooia is like… the granddaughter of the World\'s Will.

"The True Spirit created us as Divine Beast by dividing its body but altering the components, so I am not really a Spirit, but it could also be considered that I have the powers of one… But my new race was cataloged as Slime, which he himself named… I miss my father…" sighed Blooia.

"I-I see… It must have been hard to lose him," I sighed.

"Well, it has been a long time since then… though I still blame myself for not being strong enough to help him… But, that\'s the long past now…" said Blooia with melancholic eyes.

"As I said, I was created by the True Spirit of Water as a Slime, and after the war, I became a Demigoddess by forcefully evolving my body. So I stopped being a Divine Beast, acquired a Divine Realm, and more. Since then, I created my own Dungeon in the Realm of Vida, and lived inside my own Divine Realm, while I created various types of descendants, which I let free in the Realms… You diversified in many shapes and forms, and now Slimes exist almost everywhere! They are so good at adapting! Although I am originally water-type, there are slimes of all types, they really diversified tremendously! One of such brilliant children is Rimuru-chan, Gubo, Guubo, and you girls!" said Blooia, cheering the Slime Family.

"So that\'s how it is! Then I might be really your daughter, huh? I never thought about it guuu…" said Rimuru.

"Wait, does it means that I am Blooia\'s granddaughter, mommy?!" asked Ailine.

"Guuu… Maybe?" said Rimuru.

"Grandma!" said Ailine, flying towards Blooia and hugging her.

"Ah! Ailine-chan, I am glad you recognize me as your grandma! It fills me with happiness!" said Blooia.

And this is how a Slime Goddess joined the fray.
