-----
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 accumulated 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.
"Jorgrakog seems to be planning something down below, so don't relax yet…" said Brontes.
"Hm, wouldn't it be better to… finally do it?" asked Nesiphae.
"Oh, indeed, I was thinking on that, it will be better if we are all unified, whenever we are separated is where we are in more danger… very well then, let's become one," sad Kireina.
"Finally guuu!" said Rimuru.
"I have been waiting for this my whole life~!" said Zehe.
"Unify as one… does that means?" asked Brontes.
"Indeed, Brontes-chan~! Fusion!" said Nesiphae.
As Kireina and her wives planned, Hephaestus roared in anger, he could not believe that even by using his strongest powerup he could not catch up with Kireina in time!
It was incredibly frustrating for him to lose a match of speed against a mortal, but it was obvious because he had just become even bigger and heavier, and unlike Kireina who was able to employ countless speed-boosting buffs, he was rather limited in that specific area because he had built himself into a close combat battle-oriented god.
"She killed Kabeiro… Hephaestus! We must kill her…! At all costs!" cried Aglaia, infusing her divinity into Hephaestus as his flames grew in intensity!
Flash!
"GRAAAAAHH! Eternal Heavenly Blaze!"
Hephaestus suddenly raised his hammer, spinning it until an enormous wave of heavenly flames flew towards Kireina and her wives.
It was immensely strong and encompassing to run away from!
"Well, let's go," said Kireina, opening space itself and disappearing out of thin air!
The flames impacted the Divine Formation, making it shake!
Boom!
"She disappeared?!" asked Aglaia.
"Once again with your annoying Spatial Magic…! How are you capable of using it with such masterfulness, faker?!" roared Hephaestus, as rifts in space began to open over him, throwing countless divinity-charged attacks, and even multiple World-Breaking Chaos Cannons at once!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"UNGHH…! RAAAH!"
Hephaestus was pressured with the immensely powerful cannons, but infused, even more, power into himself, using all of Helios Fragments and releasing once more another wave of flames that even distorted the spatial layers being manipulated by Kireina, breaking them down and revealing her smaller clones, which were incinerated immediately!
Flash!
"Where are you?! I know that those were mere clones!" roared Hephaestus.
Aglaia suddenly received a powerful premonition through her skills, something big was about to appear right in front of her husband!
"Hephaestus watch out!" she cried, as Hephaestus couldn't hear her due to his immense size, blazing with flames everything while looking for the real Kireina, as an enormous rift in space opened once more right in front of his rage, where a monstrous behemoth covered in several colors decorated with dark armor appeared, its size doubling his own!
It employed its dozens of arms into snake-like tentacles, entangling Hephaestus as he tried to burn them through his flames, which slowly melted them instead of completely turning them into ashes.
"Unnghh?! KIREINA!" roared Hephaestus, finally, Kireina had shown up again!
However, her new form was even more terrifying than before, and her aura contained that of more than her, but four more enormously strong beings, combining together into something truly aberrantly overwhelming!
Her appearance was like an upgraded version of her former mechanical demon transformation, but she now held enormous arms that danced like snakes, alongside several heads, each one with enormous crimson eyes, instead of several smaller tails, she had a single, snake-like one with the tip of a snake-dragon head, which immediately began to release World-Breaking Chaos Cannons towards Hephaestus!
Alongside this, the dozen of snake-like metallic arms wielded the enormous spear Gungnir, alongside Kireina's Hephaestus Hammer, a long rainbow blade, a large poison axe, a dark abyssal staff, and also a golden club, thundering with black lightning!
The voices of Kireina and her wives, combined as one, resonated through the battlefield!
"Surprised? Kabeiro was exceptionally good at using Water Attribute Divinity, I did some adjustments and now I can permeate myself with it, instead of completely turning me to ashes, you will have to meet me first!" said the voices combined.
Kireina clashed against Hephaestus, as Aglaia, Apollo, and Cyrene were left out of such a catastrophic battle!
But why?
Why would Kireina try to attack Hephaestus if she wanted to escape from his rage and wait for him to be taken over by Helios fragments?
Now that she had acquired Kabeiro's Divinity, she found a way to permeate herself with Water Divinity, using it as a defensive measure to finally fight more in par with Hephaestus, alongside the combined power of her strongest wives, she combined everything she had into powerful attacks one after another, finding an opportunity to finish off Hephaestus!
But there was also another intention.
Now that Kireina had acquired the Helios Skill, she planned on stealing the fragments from Hephaestus and revive the old Titan God, who was one of Gaia's family, this is why she didn't want to eat him alongside Hephaestus!
As Kireina battled against Hephaestus, Jorgrakog suddenly decided what to do!
"If I am going to get into her side, I might as well dispose of you!" said Jorgrakog, leaping with his black and oozy slime body towards Apollo, Cyrene, and Aglaia.
"What?! You demon! What are you trying to do?!" roared Aglaia, employing her powerful divine techniques and putting a dent on Jorgrakog!
"I've decided, Kireina has a better chance of winning than Hephaestus! Also, did you really think I would simply obey the ones that sealed me here for thousands of years?! Keep dreaming!"
Jorgrakog charged his attacks, as another catastrophic battle unfolded.
Apollo and Cyrene glanced at each other, as they seemed a bit confused over Jorgrakog's decision.
However, seeing potential in such a strong and unexpected ally, they communicate with Kireina through telepathy and got her approbation to reveal they're true identities to Jorgrakog through telepathy as well.
"Oh?! So that's how it is… Then I did very well in siding with you!" laughed Jorgrakog, playing along with Apollo and Cyrene, as the three of them put pressure in the strong Aglaia.
