Chapter 740 - [Scripted Event: War Against Gods] 22/?: Marduk, Nammu, & Nanshe VS Venosa & Sissilya

-----

Since Gestrudo absorbed the Divine Beast Fragment of a Grotesque Aberration that his entire self changed, but it was until he was completely decimated and had his soul eaten when he realized his new capabilities.

Of course, it would not make any freaking sense that he was to be alive if his soul were eaten, right?

Well, it was quite simple, Gestrudo did die.

However, when he was blasted into countless pieces, his soul was also fragmented this way, and although most of his soul fragments were eaten by the Harpy siblings, the tiniest of bits remained within the ground, bind into pieces of flesh that could barely move.

Inferno and Faggoth were completely gone, but the resilient Demon Minotaur remained, somehow.

At first, he felt incredible pain and was even becoming insane, he did not have a normal body anymore, he was but a mass of flesh after all.

As the minutes went by, he slowly began to regain his perception of everything, and instinctively started to fuse every tiny flesh piece that had some bit of his soul, until what remained was a blob of the flesh of around half a meter of height.

The Harpy Siblings had already left the area, and he immediately starts to dive through the underground, seeking something to fuse with and fight once more against them!

"I… am still somehow me… Even after being cut into countless pieces… I must… honor my tribe… And defeat my enemy! Ah…! The other Demon Generals, those weaklings will be so thankful to become one with me!" thought Gestrudo, diving into the ground as he reached the middle of a battlefield, moving a small tentacle with an eye upwards, he noticed that other Demon Generals were sending their armies against the menace that has appeared.

"Go, my beasts!" roared a demon, whose skin was as bright blue, covered in enormous scars all across his body, and also many chains, Livurionis, the 8th Demon General, known as the General of Slavery.

Livurionis was part of the Slavery Demon Race, a Demon Race with the ability to easily tame and enslave any kind of Demon-type beasts, he had gathered a vast army of powerful monsters that he had raised since he was a child, confident in their strength and teamwork, he sent the hundreds of high level and multiple times evolved monsters towards the upcoming threat… three gigantic Scylla-like mechs, each one being twenty meters of height…

"That' mech… it has a similar feeling than those from the previous time… Are they all related somehow?!" wondered Gestrudo, diving into the dirt.

The beasts clashed against the three mechs, releasing their powerful fire attacks, freezing breaths, dark magic spears, and other types of skills and spells, but the three mechs seemed completely unfazed, retaliating with powerful flames, corrosive poison, or strong bites, roasting them and eating the beasts that the Demon General had trained his entire life. 

"My beasts…! This is really… hopeless!" thought Livurionis.

"Do you really think so?" said Gestrudo, as he separated a chunk of himself and stuck it to Livurionis leg, the Demon General did not exceed in fighting by himself, and was caught off guard!

"What the…? Unngaaah…!"

"Yes, become one with me, Livurionis, let's defeat these enemies, so we can honor our Kingdom!" laughed Gestrudo, as he dived through the vast battlefield with his other flesh piece, reaching were two other Demon Generals were.

"What with these metallic octopuses?! They are completely unfazed by my poison! What will I even do then?! It feels as if I was just useless…!" cried a mischievous-looking lady covered in slim purple scales and possessing a long tongue that released purple poison. Her hair was long and black, and her eyes pink-colored, her beauty was immense, but the tongue killed most of her enchanting appearance, Venosa, the 11th Demon General, known as the Venomous Kiss. 

"Venosa! Isn't this a good catch?! Unify with me!" laughed Gestrudo, separating once more and catching Venosa's leg as she was evading an enormous fireball.

"Huh?! W-What is this thing?! Unnggyaaaah…!"

"Do not fear, Venosa! I will bring you victory, in exchange for all of your power and Divine Beast Fragments! Gahaha!" laughed Gestrudo, as he quickly began to parasitize Venosa's flesh, while the last of his flesh pieces dived into the ground, quickly reaching yet another Demon General.

Due to the battlefield being so chaotic, many of the Demon Generals quickly realized that they should all be together and fight in a team if they ever wanted to survive this, and although some could try to escape, giant metallic titans were walking in all directions, whenever they went, they would be easily stepped on…

"How frustrating! I had to use my Aberration Form and even then, I cannot even keep up with these metallic giants' power…! I am going to get killed at any time! Sigh… Such a pretty girl dying here?! Damned Demon Gods!" said an adorable young girl, whose skin was entirely pink, with two feathery wings, shiny yellow eyes, and a single golden horn in the center of her forehead, Sissilya, the 14 th Demon General, known as the Two-Faced Aberration.

However, her appearance had changed a lot since her previous one, and now she resembled a large conjugation of purple tentacles and jaws all entangled together over her beautiful body as if it were a monstrous and grotesque infection growing her very body… however, this wasn't more than her 'Aberration Form', as Sissilya was part of a Demon Race named 'Two-Faced Aberrations', who took angelic forms as their base appearances, but were, in fact, monstrous masses of tentacles and jaws in reality.

"Sissilya! Her monstrous form is very strong… If I can get such power…! Yes!" laughed Gestrudo, jumping towards Sissilya and catching one of her tentacles, beginning to absorb it as he slowly parasitized her.

"Huh?! W-What is that thing? Uegh! So gross…! Get awaaaaaaay…!"

"Do not fear, Sissilya, become one with me!" laughed Gestrudo, he had already lost himself within the instincts of the powerful Divine Beast Fragment which he fused with!

The three giant metallic octopuses that were battling against these three Demon Generals were no one else than Mady and Kireina's children, Marduk, Nammu, and Nanshe, the Ancient Chimera Scylla triplets.

Although they were rather young, the Scylla triplets were rather intelligent, and a bit different from those like the Harpy Siblings, as they regained most of their memories and knowledge of their previous lives.

After all, Marduk, Nammu, and Nanshe were once the corrupted family of Blazing Ashura that governed a large part of the Lower Realm, which were all defeated by Kireina and her family, and had their souls eaten and digested through her reincarnation cycle, weirdly enough ending up reincarnated as Mady's children.

Although they were clearly not the same as before, as each one of them was not a single soul, but multiple pieces of the souls that made that family merged together alongside other auxiliary souls to give them mass, and then cut into three, distributed into the three children.

After many weeks, they had finally managed to regain their memories and had slowly made up their nature and personalities, feeling as if they had been gifted a second opportunity to amend for their sins in their previous lives.

Now that they had this second life and had all grow attached to their beloved mothers, even if one of them brought their doom in their previous life, they were dead set to protect their Empire from this unpredicted Demon Kingdom and God Invasion.

After seeing the barrier set by the gods crack into pieces and Ailine blowing off the three Demigods that were pestering them, while the other four were caught by their mother's domain, Marduk, Nammu, and Nanshe jumped into the battlefield, knowing that their family and friends were counting on them to fend off this invasion.

Using the special accessories given to them by their mother Kireina, they created enormous mech bodysuits, aiding their inexperienced minds into battle.

They crushed several armies and leveled up tremendous amounts, finally reaching what they thought were 'mid bosses', three Demon Generals, Livurionis, Venosa, and Sissilya.

The three siblings were just attacking with long-ranged attacks, slowly pressuring them while keeping some distance from them, making sure to not go through unnecessary danger as their mothers had told them, but now that the Demon Generals were being pressured, they were getting fiercer, so they also had to get fiercer.

Livurionis use his enormous beast army to attack Marduk, as the boy used his powerful flames from the giant mechanical octopus with dragon heads to burn through the creatures and then let Nammu devour them with her giant wolf-like jaws.

Meanwhile, Nanshe was using her poison against Venosa, as she seemed like the perfect match against someone that was not able to do any damage against her. As she was a half-snake Scylla, she was immune to most poison unless it were to be charged with divinity, so she was having an easy time pressuring Venosa and slowly driving her into a corner.

However, everything was slightly disrupted as Sissilya emerged, although the trio quickly gathered together and began to fight more seriously, employing more skills than simply burning, poisoning, or biting.

"I think we are finally managing… Let's wreck them for once, sisters!" said Marduk happily, as he charged a powerful fire spell, as an enormous magic circle emerged behind him, a large sphere of fire appeared!

"Alright, let's kill and eat them for mommy, awoooooo~!" said Nammu, generating an enormous storm of winds and water.

"Yeah, they are finally getting a bit tired, let's do it, gishii!" said Nanshe, creating a mass of liquid purple poison atop her mech, launching it at the three generals!

Fire, storms, and poison flew against the three generals in slow motion, as they seemed to have found their end at last…

However, Gestrudo had other plans, quickly parasitizing the three generals with his new and abnormal powers, and forcing the three to gather!

"Nnnggyaaaahh…! Get off my head…!"

"What the heck is going on?! Why am I moving on my own and why is Gestrudo's voice in my freaking head?!"

"Nooooo! This is horrifying, get out, you perverted old man!"

"Now, combine!" laughed Gestrudo, as the three Demon Generals, forced against their will, became a single entity!

Flash!

"My resurrection at last! And this power… I am overflowing with it! Activate Divine Beast Fragments!"

The several Divine Beast Fragments from the three Demon Generals activated in succession, as Gestrudo's formless fleshy body made by the combined bodies of the Demon Generals started to shapeshift, becoming a strange and bizarre beast!

Possessing five heads with long necks, each head is a different beast, a long and purple scaled snake-like body, and several and grotesque octopus tentacles across such body, the new Gestrudo was finally back to battle!

Indeed, the power that he had acquired was even greater than previously!

"Now, your minds and your powers are mines! Gahaha! Who would had thought that I would simply need to use this fragment to become so strong?!"

Gestrudo quickly employed all of the demons he was fused with memories, alongside those he had gathered from Faggoth and Inferno previously, combining them and conjuring new spells and techniques!

"Shadow Specter Venom Aura, Slimy Venomous Barrier, Blazing Fire Wall, Grand Earth Fort!"

The enormous beast of at least thirty meters tall quickly generated several barriers, receiving each of Marduk, Nammu, and Nanshe's attacks!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"Hahaha! It's useless! Now, it's my turn!" laughed Gestrudo, flying near the three siblings as he released enormous fireballs, large snake-shaped streams of poison, phantasmal tentacles, and enormous boulders covered in flames!

"Eh? Did it just got pretty big?!" asked Marduk.

"Marduk!" cried Nammu, jumping in front of her brother and releasing a series of consecutive biting attacks against the spells and techniques from Gestrudo, destroying or eating them!

"It looks like they fused or something? Did they stole mother's ideas?! Let's teach them a lesson and fuse too!" said Nanshe, releasing spheres of poison and barriers, protecting herself and her siblings as she jumped towards the other two.

"Okay, then, fusion!" said Marduk.

"Awooo!" roared Nammu.

"Giishii!" said Nanshe.

The three octopuses then merged together, as a grater an enormous chimera monster made of metal emerged!

With dozens of heads of dragons, snakes, and wolves, alongside large arms and enormous blades and axes, it resembled a monstrous creature from the depths!

Gestrudo smiled, as he desired to devour that power too!

"You will become one with me!" laughed the enormous multi-headed snake with tentacles that were now Gestrudo, using all of his head to release powerful breath attacks, and combining all the powers he had amassed into one, unleashing a barrage of elemental power towards the combined triplets!

The triples retaliated with their own attacks, while moving through the battlefield and pursuing Gestrudo, attacking and defending, and quickly making the entire battlefield set ablaze in complete chaos!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Clash! Clash! Clash!

However, Gestrudo found himself once more pressured, even after having amassed this power… it was clearly not enough!

Alongside this, he felt like his soul was becoming weaker and weaker, and that he was beginning to crack once more, the same way as before!

"Nnnggoooh…! I cannot… die here!" he muttered, releasing a barrage of fire, poison, earth, and phantasmal magic, as the combination of the triplets quickly destroying everything, releasing their own storm of slicing attacks and flames, poison, and winds!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"However, Gestrudo suddenly employed a secret technique, one of the Generals he had assimilated, Sissilya, had the power of a Demon Eye of Paralysis, employing it into the combined triplets and suddenly leaving them paralyzed!

The power of his Demon Eyes amplified as he used all of his head's eyes, alongside the many others spread around his body.

The powerful curse reached the siblings, as they were paralyzed!

"Hahah! Gotcha!" laughed Gestrudo, rushing towards the three as he shaped his body like a gigantic mouth!

"Become one with me!" laughed Gestrudo, as he munched the three kids in one bite!

"Gahaha! This power… this burning sensation…! Yes- Eh? Burning… sensation?!"

"No, we gotcha!" said Marduk, Nanshe, and Nammu's voices combined as one, as an enormous blaze of purple fire emerged from within Gestrudo's body, inflating him like a balloon!

The fire was strange, as it was incredibly corrosive, Gestrudo felt like his soul was melting away completely now!

"W-Wait a second! T-This was not as I… imagined!" cried Gestrudo, as he tried to struggle and defend against the triplet's power, but ultimately, they seemed completely immune to his measly attempts that he called 'attacks'!

"Sorry, but we were just pretending to be paralyzed!" said Nammu's voice.

"Yeah, it is easier to simply sit down and let you approach us!" laughed Marduk.

"Now die, pretty please, gishii~!" said Nanshe.

"Wait a secooooonnnd! NNNNGYAAAAAHHH…!"

BOOM!

Gestrudo's soul was consumed by these corrosive poison flames created by the combination of the triplet's powers, his entire soul was melted away, with no third chances remaining for the vicious Demon General!

His flesh fell into the ground as countless pieces, and the triplets ate away any other soul left within the surroundings, and even munched into the flesh left by the combination of Gestrudo and the other Demon Generals, which were simply used as items for him…

In the end, three more Demon Generals perished, alongside Gestrudo once and for all…

"Hmm… That was not tasty at all! Gueegh…!" said Marduk.

"Yeah, too bitter…!" said Nammu.

"Hmm… When we finish things here, let's have some sweets for dinner!" said Nanshe.

With only four Demon Generals left, it might seem as if Demon Generals are becoming an endangered species…

Certainly, the Demon Gods within Thanatos Divine Realm seemed a bit… taken aback.

"O-Oi… Thanatos… Things aren't… exactly going as planned… Are they?"

"SHUT UP!" roared Thanatos.
