Boom! Boom! Boom!

​​

The explosions continued one after another. Mohini slowly gives up to despair as her beloved children's bodies exploded into pieces… she could not take it any longer. What kind of fiend could Geggoron be to torture her with such a sight? Mohini's delicate mind was going insane…

"For… Geggoron-sama!"

"Die, you heretic fiend!"

"Die! Die!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"NOOO!!! MY children! Do not die! No! Do not kill yourselves! Please!" shouted Mohini behind her barrier, tears flowing like a river through her eyes.

"Good, it is just as Geggoron-sama said, she is completely losing it after seeing them all die, even if they aren't capable of putting a dent on her… fufufu" laughed Nari.

As the explosions finally came to an end, Mohini was greeted with a horrible sight… the mashed bodies of her children spread all around the forest, and even over her barrier. Their blood, bones, and other body parts spreading all around… a bloody massacre.

"Why… my children… no… no…"

Mohini showcased a weakened side of her… Such a being as a Living Deity should never show this side to mortals, yet she was pathetically sitting in the ground, crying.

"Fufufu… How was it? Because you did not let yourself be captured and assimilated by the great Geggoron-sama, all of them died pointlessly. You caused this, Mohini! You are nothing but a selfish woman! Do you want to save them? From what?! They were happily serving my master, and happily give up their lives for him as well!" shouted Nari, baring her fangs.

"Now succumb!" shouted a manly voice from beneath Mohini's, a giant and burly man, with his body packed in bulging and hard muscles appeared.

He had the ears of a tiger and short orange hair, alongside long tail, wearing only but some lightweight armor and his bare hands, which carried a strange, eye-shaped artifact, he tried to grab on Mohini's head with his gigantic hands.

Flash!

However, Mohini was capable of evading in time, glancing at the handsome and muscular man who tried to attack her.

"Y-You are…!"

"That is right, Mohini! He is Wariner, one of the three guardians of our beloved Moonfang Kingdom! He had been recently enlightened by Geggoron-sama guidance! He was quite hard to convince… but he gave in, after all, ~ Everyone gives in at some point!" said Nari, provoking Mohini even more by revealing the harsh truth.

"Wariner? But my child… weren't you a protector of the people?!" asked Mohini, evading the giant tiger man incredibly powerful blows.

"I am. I am protecting my people. Geggoron-sama knows what is best for my people. So, I do as he says. Now, succumb. It is useless to resist. Blaze Tiger Wrestling Technique, Meteor Jab." said Wariner, with a firm voice as he released one of his most powerful techniques, revealing a meteor of jabs that pierced the air itself, Mohini was resisting with her barrier, but felt as if she was slowly being drained of her energy…

"What is… this?! Ugh!"

Mohini's barrier suddenly disappeared, her Divine Energy was running low.

Wariner used this opportunity to blow her away with a powerful shower of meteor jabs.

Blast!"

"Gyaaaah…!"

Mohini hit the ground as she vomited blood… but how? How could a Living Deity such as herself spit blood by a mortal's attack?

"Geggoron-sama was right… Living Deity are different than Demigods, their physical bodies are closer to mortals than to Gods… as long as you are strong enough and wield Phantasmal Equipment, it is possible to damage them!" said Nari, finally jumping to the scene while wielding two large scimitars… of Phantasmal Rank as well.

Wariner was wielding two gauntlets of Phantasmal Rank, alongside several artifacts in the form of accessories that enhanced his physical strength, giving him almost four times his normal power.

"It's over. Succumb."

"Fufufu… perhaps I should slice her a bit?"

Mohini struggled to get up from the ground, the wound that Wariner dealt with her stomach was still there, although her bones did not shatter, her stomach received a strong hit, being slightly pierced, the other internal organs weren't in a good state either.

"My Divine Energy… why? Have I used it too much…? Ah… could it be… the explosions…? No… No!" shouted Mohini, as Wariner and Nari approached her.

"Indeed, Mohini. Your Divine Energy ran low due to the explosions… they were no simple attacks. They could absorb the Divine Energy of our barrier, which you kept active to protect yourself from the damage, instead of running away and evading them… You are really such a foolish woman. Become useful once in your life and be Geggoron-sama nourishment!" shouted Nari, moving at an incredible speed while releasing a series of slashes towards Mohini, while being enhanced with her Shadow, Dark, and Nightmare Magic, given to her through Geggoron's artifacts.

"Gyaaah!"

Mohini was barely able to defend herself, receiving the slashes that pierced her near-mortal body, red blood spraying everywhere.

"No! My children… I cannot die here! Not to that demon schemes!" shouted Mohini, releasing her golden soul from within her body while shaping into claws to defend herself from the attacks.

"It's useless!" shouted Nari, using her scimitars to intercept Mohini's Soul Claws while Wariner appeared from behind her.

"Ah!"

"Succumb."

CLASH!

Wariner's mountain-breaking blow hit Mohini's head, the powerful force created spiderweb-like cracks where Mohini was. Her sharp teeth broke as she vomited blood, her eyes crying blood. Her head did not crack open like a watermelon as Wariner has thought, but she was almost knocked out.

"Haah… Gah… My children… Why…? Guuhhbuuagh…" said Mohini, vomiting mouthfuls of blood from within her intestines, her head completely covered in blood and her ears crushed. Her shoulders and spine were almost cracked, and she could not even feel her legs.

Mohini felt completely despair at the hands of her children.

Geggoron, who was glancing at the scene from his clones, laughed with a devilish smirk.

"Hahaha… she didn't die from Wariner's blow even after that? She is indeed a Living Deity of a high Rank… but this is it. Your struggle has come to an end, Mohini!" he shouted, as he possessed Wariner's body, using him as his vessel through the connection he had created with the tiger man by blessing him.

Flash!

Nari glanced at the arc of dark light descending from the sky and engulfing Wariner's entire body, his eyes flashing devilishly as a new entity took hold of him.

"Geggoron-sama! You have descended?!" shouted Nari, her eyes wide open and her face filled with fascination and devotion.

"Yes, it is time for my meal," said Geggoron through Wariner's mouth, making a grin unbefitting of the serious tiger man.

"No… Stop, Geggoron! You fiend…!" shouted Mohini, who could barely see through her eyes, which were drenched in blood.

"Don't worry, it will be painless… it will be quick. You will only feel pleasure by becoming one with me, Mohini!" shouted Geggoron, grabbing on Mohini's head with Wariner's giant hands, and releasing his evil Divine Soul.

In the form of a specter, he began to absorb Mohini's bright yellow soul… he had lied, Mohini felt an excruciating pain like she had never felt before.

"Aaaaaaahhh…! Stop! Stooop! Aaahhh…! Mother… Help me…!"

"Bwahahaha! Delicious, so this is the Divine Soul of a Life Attribute Living Deity! I can't stop savoring it!" laughed Geggoron.

However, just at this moment, he suddenly lost the connection with all of his clones. A sharp and excruciating pain rushed through his very soul, way worse than the one he was inflicting on Mohini.

"Ugh…?! M-My clones…! T-This pain! T-They were devoured?! Uaghh…! Kireina! Kireina is here?! I did not… Where?!"

"Geggoron-sama, what's the matter?!" shouted Nari.

The trembling body of Wariner, which was being possessed by Geggoron fell to his knees as the pain of his soul did not stop. He was desperately gasping for air as if his lungs had become empty.

Mohini fell to the ground, barely conscious… her exposed and damaged soul slowly going back to her body.

"Haah… Haahh… Haahh… No!" shouted Geggoron, trying to escape Wariner's body.

However, it was too late, space itself distorted and the dark night and the blazing forest changed. They were now inside a strange, and ominous space, dark, purple, and scarlet clouds decorated the place as thunder fell from the sky from time to time.

The figure of several women appeared in the sky, glancing at Geggoron and Nari…

The figure of a voluptuous and beautiful fairy, seemingly leading the rest spoke.

"I had to run a lot when I felt Mohini's aura. Thankfully, she is still alive… Geggoron! This time I am devouring you whole!" shouted Kireina.

"Shit…! How did you bypass my Clones! Impossible! If you were to arrive in here, I would have been the first one to know it!" shouted Geggoron, through Wariner's mouth.

"I suppose My Mirage magic can even deceive the gods… Fufu" laughed Kireina.

"Mirage…?! Illusion magic?! How could that weak attribute blind my clones from your presence?! Impossible! Impossible!!!" shouted Geggoron, he was losing his mind over Kireina breaking everything he knew as possible.

"Silence! Abyssal Demon Claws" said Kireina.

Kireina waved her hands and two, gigantic arms seemingly made out of dark flesh, covered in countless eyes, mouths, teeth, tongues, tentacles, and other grotesque things appeared out of thin air, flying at an incredible speed towards Geggoron and Nari.

Flash! Flash!

"Transcendental Magic; Nightmare Barrier!" shouted Geggoron, shrouding himself into a sphere of pure darkness, while desperately trying to retrieve Mohini, who he had dropped by his bewilderment a few seconds ago.

However, she was gone.

"Huh?! Where is she?!"

Clash! Clash!

The two Abyssal Demon Arms opened their claws, resembling voracious and monstrous jaws, as they began to devour Geggoron's nightmare barrier as if it were a snack!

From Kireina's side, Rimuru appeared again, princess carrying Mohini's unconscious body.

"Masta, Mohini retrieved, gu! Can we fight now?" she asked.

"Alright, let me save her inside my Inner Realm," said Kireina, opening a portal where another Kireina came from, receiving Mohini and carrying her away.

Geggoron glanced at this while enhancing the barrier with his plentiful of Divine Energy.

"Shit! There is no point in staying here, I must run away, and take the artifacts given to me by Athena…!" shouted Geggoron, who usually did not like close-combat confrontations, preferring to defeat his enemies with schemes and by using his pawns.

"Geggoron-sama, I will gladly give up my life for you!" shouted Nari.

"Very well, take this!" shouted Geggoron, diving his soul and creating a medium-sized soul clone, making it possess Nari while he began to create a hole in Kireina's domain.

Nari bared her fangs as she was possessed by a strong split soul of Geggoron, she felt her power surging from within, and her mind merging with Geggoron's desires.

Her body undergone slight mutations, gaining demonic features as her scimitars grew larger and sharper, covered in a dark metallic luster.

Flash!

With an incredible force, she jumped towards Kireina's Abyssal Demon Arms, releasing a series of powerful techniques enhanced with Geggoron's Divine Energy. The Abyssal Demon Arms were sliced into thin slices as they detonated into a powerful magic explosion.

Boom!

Kireina glanced from above, already knowing Geggoron's plans.

"Oh? I see how it is. It seems that his originals soul is still on his Divine Realm, but he cut down large chunks that he uses to administrate each Kingdom… so he's just trying to retrieve the information gathered by this one, by escaping? Oh, and a large amount of Mohini's Divinity that he managed to eat before I appeared…" muttered Kireina, with immense insight into the situation of the battle. Most of the conjectures she came out with were made by her Split Minds inside of her head and her own Slime Clones which had spread far and wide in both Kingdoms, gathering information for her.

"Come fight with me, your heretic fiend!" shouted Nari, shrouding herself in dark clouds and flying like a bullet towards Kireina.

"Mao, Wall, Vampires, Chimera Siblings, Abyssal Demon Arms," said Kireina.

Flash!

Black thunder appeared from within Kireina's body as she shapeshifted her own arm into an Abyssal Demon Arm, by using the power of Mao, Wall, the Vampires, and the Chimera Siblings led by Caterpillar that were 'equipped' inside of her flesh, the power of her physique augmented tremendously.

Blast!

"Ugh?!"

With a single punch of her grotesque arm, Nari was blown away through the sky like a ping pong ball…

"Gyaaaaaah…!"

"Not so fast!" shouted Rimuru, appearing from behind.

"Huh?!"

Rimuru appeared, in a semi-liquid form as she channeled her Aura that surged from her crown made out of jewels, spiritual energies flowed through her entire body, almost as if she were a sacred existence, the complete opposite of Geggoron!

"Guuuu! Take this! Spiritual Sovereign Punishment!" shouted Rimuru, improvising a name for a charged blast of spiritual energy.

Flash!

The blast hit Nari's entire body with immense power, she was blown away once again through the sky as if she were a mere fly. Spiritual Energy not only damaged Geggoron's split soul possessing her, but her own skin and flesh burned as if she were showered in flames!

"Guagh! What is this!? No…! I-I cannot falter…! This is for Geggoron-sama! Hundred Nightmarish Slices!" shouted Nari, shrouding her scimitars into the dark clouds within Geggoron's split soul's Divinity, she released a series of powerful slices that cut space itself for some time, penetrating Rimuru's attack and approaching her at a fast speed!

"Gu? That is nothing! Divine Spiritual Aura Cannon!" shouted Rimuru, her Aura channeling the Divine Spiritual energy that she had acquired after drinking the special potion given to Kireina after completing a task from the Kingdom System, which was 'acquire 20 wives'.

This potion did not grant her or the other girls with true divinity, but it gave them a small, pseudo demi divinity, enough to enhance their abilities and attacks to a new level of power!
