Epic Of Caterpillar

1433 Lazuli And Blaze

-----

Within the Divine Realm of Rimuru, a pair of fairies were taking care of many children, as the bigger children of Kireina were all preparing for battle outside whenever a strong foe appeared, these pair and a few others were given the task to take care of all the babies… and the mothers that might soon give birth as well, and there were a lot, such as a pair of Centaur Princesses whose stomachs had grown very big these last days inside the divine realm.

Blaze and Lazuli had been together since Kireina explored Nyzzet Dungeon where she ended being confined. Lazuli was a girl that belonged to the prestigious Pantheon of Eternal Winter, daughter of Skadi herself… however, since she was rescued that she had not been interested in going anywhere other than staying with her new family. She had yet to completely forget Nyzzet, but her grudge against him for having bought her was not there anymore, and she had been enjoying herself rather well for now…

Well, until the war began, everything went too fast, she went outside to aid Kireina against the Undead Gods with Blaze, and together using a powerful Mecha and many buffs, they fought and managed to even defeat a couple of these Undead Gods! However, ultimately, things went awry… They were all teleported into Rimuru's Divine Realm.

And the pair was unable to even see what happened at the end, until they were told that Kireina had… suddenly vanished. Many said she died, while others thought she had just gone away. After all, her Divine Connection with everybody was still there, miraculously, despite her origin core, soul, and body being completely destroyed, her presence and powers were still there!

Rimuru temporarily inherited all of Kireina's powers, which she infused into her and flawlessly fused with Rimuru's powers before exploding and disappearing… She did it in an act to save everybody stored inside her divine realm, while also not losing the powers he had forged her entire life.

But… was that it? Blaze and Lazuli felt heartbroken, Kireina had been treating them so well for all this time that she was practically a mother to the two. Blaze was saved by Kireina from her father's Dream Realm, which he had used to confine her there and use her as fire for his forge of divine items. She lived her entire life confined in such a space, until Kireina showed up out of nowhere and rescued her.

Since then, she was shown a whole world of new possibilities, of new things, new food, new friends, a family… She helped her defeat her evil and bastard father and also her entire family… and then she saw them all revived, Kireina's grace knew no bounds. She had a second chance with her family, she learned more about them and forgave them, and now Blaze enjoyed the company of not only Kireina's family, but also of the revived Hephaestus and her siblings and stepmothers.

Because her mother died when she was a baby, Blaze never had a motherly figure until Kireina arrived in her life, so even after having finally developed a family bond with Hephaestus revived family, she still saw Kireina as her true mother, and felt completely destroyed after hearing her sudden death. Lazuli as well… the two spent days inside the divine realm, whose time went faster than outside crying. It took some weeks to get better after the help of many of their beloved friends.

But now, they felt better, and were taking care of the children, and some of the mothers that were soon to give birth in a few weeks or days. The babies couldn't know what happened to Kireina, or they wouldn't be able to process it and would cry for days and weeks, so they had been given the excuse that she was very busy fighting for them outside, so she wasn't able to come back here for now.

"Big sis… Big sis Lazuli…"

The little Electra was stretching Lazuli's blue dress, as the little baby looked up to her big sister.

"Y-Yeah, dear?" Asked Lazuli, lifting Electra from the floor.

"Where's mama? Mama Kireina?" Asked Electra while sucking her thumb.

"A-Ah… Well… She's still busy." Sighed Lazuli.

"Mama… I miss mama…" Cried Electra.

"Charlotte has been busy lately as well…" Sighed Blaze. "She said she's working into something very important, a new brand new model of mechs that will "change everything" or something…"

"You have to be patient, dear… You got all of us for you, so you'll never be alone, okay?" Asked Lazuli.

"Oway…" Sighed Electra. "I'm sleepy…"

"Let's go to bed then." Said Blaze.

"Yeah." Lazuli said, as she and Blaze brought the little Electra who had just drank her warm milk bottle to her cradle, leaving her resting there inside her room, there were a few other babies sleeping here as well.

As the two walked outside of the large room, they rested in the empty halls, sighing.

"Kireina… everyone thinks she'll come back eventually…" Sighed Blaze. "Do you truly believe this, Lazuli?"

"…I don't know." Sighed Lazuli. "But I think that many of those that say that are not certain either. We just… want to believe on it."

"Hm… I guess you're right." Said Blaze. "I wish I could do anything more… But my powers… They kind of reached a limit, I guess… We can only do as much as Pseudo Supremes… We could barely compare to the undead gods and only by working together at the end…"

"Hmm.. Yeah. I wish… I could help more, I guess…" Sighed Lazuli. "I had lost a lot of my original powers… I had more potential than this before dying and becoming a dungeon boss… I wish my mother wasn't fooled so easily by Tundra, my sister…"

"Tundra… was she the one that betrayed you?" Wondered Blaze.

"Yes… She and that mysterious God of Seals… the two set me up and did… All of those awful things to me." Sighed Lazuli.

"Hm… Hey! How about you try to contact your mother now?" Asked Blaze.

"W-What?" Lazuli couldn't help but feel shocked by Blaze's proposal.
