Chapter 317 - Wall's Little Gift...?
Epic Of Caterpillar

[Heavenly Golden Radish of Evolution (Legendary); A Special Vegetable created by the [Heroine of Harvest] who ascended to godhood and became the [Goddess of Harvest and Vegetables]. This special vegetable possesses the amazing potential and if feed to a tamed familiar or monster, it can induce a forced evolution]
Gaby feeds one of these to Gubo and that's how it evolved despite the system not allowing it to become stronger… So, this item was made by a Goddess who was a Heroine before? Now that's interesting… I should read more of these items, tidbits of story, and the lore of this world are always revealed in them, and if the item is [Legendary] it can even give me information about Gods and their past.
As I flew at max speed by using my abilities, I reached the end of the Grand Forest, where a tall black-colored concrete-like wall raised to two hundred meters, the walls were thick and gigantic covering the entire wild from anything that could appear from the outside. There were several other soldiers in the walls, as inside of them there were small offices and guard posts.
A group of Trolls, Yuki-onna, and Goblins greeted me, they were wearing armor and weapons and were being led by a trio of Succubus Secretaries. There was a big army of Skeleton Soldiers as well as Giant Skeletons, who had developed their own personalities and were mostly relaxing.
"I-Isn't that our Majesty?!" Shouted a Goblin, with a sharp voice.
"She's flying right here! H-Hey stop lazing around!" Cried a Yuki-Onna with blue hair and light armor.
"You were the one lazing around!" Said a Troll, who was some sleeping some minutes earlier.
"G-Gah! She's here!"
"Ah~ My soldiers, I see that you are lazing around"
"Gaah! S-She saw us…!"
"Well, it's not like I can expect anything else, it's so peaceful over here, isn't it? With the Slime Wall, there is barely any work for you… Well, at the very least I would like you to hunt down some beast to level up" I said, I kind of understood their laziness, as with such a giant protector, there isn't much to do at all, but at the very least they could move their legs a little bit and hunt some monsters, right?
As the soldiers kneeled, they were relieved over my words… Did they expect me to punish them?
"T-Thanks for such benevolence, your highness!" Said a Goblin, who had a small red cap over his head.
"W-Well, ahem… What is the reason that your majesty has blessed us with her presence…?" Said a Yuki-Onna with blue hair, politely while standing up and making the other stand up as well.
"Ah, just relax, I came to feed the Wall"
"Oh, that's it…"
"I see…"
"Ah, it must be hungry"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"WAIT, FEED THE WALL…?!"
"What?" I asked.
"N-Nothing, your majesty! Please feed the wall!"
"Her majesty needs any assistance?"
"No need, relax… Do I look so scary?" I asked them.
The Goblin, Troll, and Yuki-Onna glanced at each other.
"N-Not at all!" Shouted the Goblin.
"Her Majesty is the most beautiful maiden in the Kingdom, no, the Realm!" Said the Troll.
"Her Majesty, we are sorry to be so scared… It's just that we have never seen you in person, and as it is said that you do so many things, we felt powerless against the supreme sovereign of the kingdom we live in…" Said the Yuki-Onna, who seemed to be the most intelligent.
"I suppose its only natural to feel like that, but relax, you're all my citizens, and I just want the best for all of you~ See? You got to know me more" I said, releasing a little bit of my charm so they could calm down… Perhaps I should connect with my citizens more often.
Over my words, the trio became dazzled for a little bit, and then they kneeled again.
"We don't deserve such kindness…!" They said, at the same time.
"Hahaha, alright, alright, stand up… Sigh… Here, enjoy these little gifts" I said, as I opened my Item Box and gifted each one a bento fox filled with rice, dragon slices of meat, and vegetables.
"Uaaah! Y-Your majesty… T-This is your cooked food?!"
"W-We can eat it…?"
"B-But…!"
"Yeah… These are the leftovers of yesterday, I planned to snack on them, but I already got my fill this morning, so enjoy, they're still warm, dig in~" I said, as I flew towards the Slime Wall, leaving the trio dazzled, but after some time, I could hear them digging the food with happy faces
"T-Thish ish sho delicioush!" (Troll)
"Uaaah! Is this what the Royal Family eats everyday…?!" (Goblin)
"Well, it's similar to what we eat as well, but still, this meat and rice, it has a higher quality to it! What kind of chef is her majesty?! To be able to be blessed by her preparations! What a lucky day!" (Yuki-Onna)
"T-This meat… is dragon meat!" (Goblin)
"What?!" (Troll)
"Doesn't a slice of dragon meat cost a month worth of salary in credits?!" (Yuki-Onna)
"T-This… Is this what the strong eats? And we thought that our daily food was already delicacies…" (Goblin)
"Perhaps we should explore the dungeons and get stronger as well… if by that mean, we could eat even more delicious food! The little son I have back home would love dragon meat; I will save him some~" (Yuki-Onna)
"Yeah… let go hunt after this, with the help of the Undead we should be fine" (Troll)
As I reached the top of the wall, I stood over it, and the wall immediately trembled slightly, a small black slime tentacle appeared to greet me.
"Mas… ter…!" It said.
The Slime Wall had gained consciousness of its own after becoming this big, it is also thanks to my own Slime Clones fused into it.
"Hello, I've brought you a snak~"
"Sna…ck?"
"Here…" I said, as I took a giant golden-colored radish from my Item Box, the golden aura that it exuded was beautiful and dazzling.
The moment I dropped the radish, the wall released more tentacles and ate the thing whole in seconds.
"Mas…ta… snack… so good…!!!"
Flash!
Suddenly, the whole wall surrounding the Grand Forest shined brightly, surprising everyone present, the guards outside and the ones stationed inside the walls, however, aside from the momentary blindness, it didn't cause any other harm after that.
However, there were changes in the whole Slime Wall, it had suddenly grown in size, and it seemed to be made not of concrete, but incredibly solid black bricks and jewels of various sizes and colors, there were giant, twenty meters tall purple and red jewels in the wall, which seemed to be able to store magic and also throw powerful magic attacks.
"W-What is this…?"
"When her majesty said that she was going to feed the Wall…"
"It evolved…? What kind of heavenly food is given to the Wall?!"
"This miracle… it could only be made by her majesty! Even gods cannot compare!"
"Impressive… Are these her majesty's godly powers?"
Everyone was dazzled, bewildered and baffled over the changes, I could feel that the Slime Wall had also increased in power, and it now had a stronger, magical Aura surrounding it and making it even stronger and flexible. I decided to check the status of this behemoth.

[Synthetic Chimera Golem], [First of a Kind], [The Great Wall]
As if Guubo wasn't strong enough, the Slime Wall stats were even more ridiculous, surpassing common sense, its HP wall in specific is more than double the amount than Athos himself. His defensive stats are incredible as well, and even its offensive stats are amazing. Its Speed is the only flaw, but with such a massive body, it's hard to move fast.
I patted Wall's bricks, congratulating him over his evolution. The tentacles that released hugged me tightly with a lot of love, it seems to love me.
"Master… I'm strong… Protect… I will protect everyone… I will never fall!"
"Oh, you can talk better now. I wonder how does it feel to have such a big body…"
"Big body…? It feels… Tiring"
Blop
Suddenly, Wall's tentacles went back to the Wall and it went silent…
"Huh? Well, it must be tired after evol-"
As I was about to leave, Wall's body began to expand, a piece of its body mass was divided from it, and a black-colored slime filled with rocks and jewels inside appeared in front of me.
"Oh? Right, you got Body Division Skill?"
"Yes! Master, I can be with you!"
"Huh?"
Wall's divided body took the shape of a humanoid, and slowly shaped itself into a beautiful and voluptuous woman, with dark skin, large black hair and black eyes, it had several jewels encrusted on its body… This was Wall's humanoid body…
"Master, I will protect you!"
Wall jumped over me and hugged me tightly. Her body was incredibly heavy for her small appearance, but her humanoid body was nothing more than a small part of her original body, I wondered if it could accompany me anywhere, or if it would draw on the original body strength.
"Wall… Please calm down…"
"Master I want to be with you! It's so alone in here… I want to protect you, protect you!" She said, she was very obsessed with… protecting. Well, she is a living wall made with that sole purpose, so I suppose it's fine…
"W-Well, you can bring your divided body with me, how about it? You can meet the Kingdom and everyone…"
Wall is certainly different than Guubo, who does not mind being alone and sleep, she has a different and more complex personality and usually feels lonely. Is it because she was made with some of my Slime Clones?
Perhaps that also explains her ability to shape into a woman, just like Mao who gained the same ability after forcibly evolving by being fused with Slimes and some of my Lesser Slime Clones.
Anyways, I decided to bring Wall with me, as she jumped straight towards the floor inside the Grand Forest, creating a small spider-web-like crater.
Boom!
She surprised most of the guards.
"Guaaahh!"
"W-What is that!?"
"A Black Slime Woman…?"
"An invader…!"
I quickly flew down bellow and told my guards that she was the Wall herself, they had a hard time believing it, but after saying "its something that only her majesty could achieve, then it's believable" and "another of her majesty's miracles", they calmed down.
Wall seemed to remember them.
"Aah… You are the little people that live inside of me… Don't worry, my main body will protect everyone… I will protect you as well, and you, and you and you" She said, pointing everyone with her fingers.
I gave Wall some clothes and carried her with me towards the Kingdom, she liked to wear kimono, and she selected a black and white-colored one, with white stockings. She was bare feet as any sandals would break with her weight.
"Aah! Master, we are flying! I will protect you in the skies as well! I will protect you, forever! Protect you~ I will protect Master~ In the skieees~"
Wall began to sing out of nowhere, but she was surprisingly adorable.
I showed her the citadel and most of the shops, as she enjoyed the food and places, afterward, I presented her to my family and then grabbed her around the Dungeon alongside my family and the other Chimera so she could level up her divided body, which shared her original mind as if it were a hive mind of the same person with several bodies.
I discovered that I was able to equip her as she was qualified as a Chimera and she was perfect for my [Chimeric Carapace] Technique, although she drained a lot of nutrients while equipped.
[Calculating EXP gained…]
[Kireina] gained 18.126.660.400 EXP!]
[LEVEL 063/250 EXP 21.935.715.830/32.700.000.000]
After all of the grind and other things, I felt fatigued, perhaps due to my child, so I decided to sleep earlier.
