Epic Of Caterpillar

Chapter 2282 The Concerned Gods Of Abyss

-----

Atop the skies of Abyss, within the center of the Arteria Continent, the largest of the three continents of the world, dozens of powerful Blood Gods gathered, all of them prepared for what was coming.

Each group of a few dozen elites, Vampires who had reached Rank 10 of their Blood Cores and ascended into Blood Gods, developing Cosmic Blood Energy, and evolving their Dao of Vampiric Paths into a Cosmic Dao, were led by their respective leaders.

The Dracul were led by the almighty King Vlad and Queen Cecilia, the very Blood Gods that served them being either their oldest children or almighty servants such as former Crimson Templars. Clad in their heavy black and red armor, and holding their enormous weapons and shields, the Dracul Blood Gods looked like relentless war gods.

The Hecatenian Family brought their strongest sorcerers and sorceress, led by the three Witch Queens, With Queen Hecate XII, Witch Queen Achlys XI, and the Witch Queen Frigga X, masters of magic in the entire world of Abyss, alongside their almighty Divine Sorceress and Sorcerers, servants of the three Witch Queens.

And lastly, the Nosferatu Council was here almost on its totality, only leaving Elderstone and Bloodrose back in their home, taking care of the Emperor of Death, who had been still recovering from the Chaotic Era where he had been struck down by the ascending Blood God Emperor. Their leader was the most ancient of their Council aside from their Emperor, the Black Skeleton Lord, Thanatos.

The three families tasked with protecting the world by the Blood God Emperor remained in silence as they faced the skies, looking at the bright rivers of light. The three Witch Queens were here, Hecate herself only having summoned a Divine Illusion back in her castle, to help out her daughters, who were being bullied by pathetic undead.

”Have you informed them about the news, big sister Hecate?” wondered Frigga, the youngest of the three sisters, with short green hair and tired-looking golden eyes.

”I have, it is mostly done by now,” Hecate nodded with her calm, yet confident smile.

”It seems that the Peaceful Era only lasted for ten thousand years at the end…” sighed the Witch Queen Achlys, with long purple hair and pink eyes, her face was both beautiful yet held a strange, sickly smile. ”Aahhh~ I canʼt wait to finally start tearing apart everything… Iʼve been missing this… this war, this bloodshed… peace? Itʼs so boring…!”

”Calm yourself down, Achlys,” Hecate smiled, her eyes filled with bloodlust despite her calm demeanor. ”We must calm ourselves down. It is not yet the time… But soon enough. The chaos shall bring an opportunity. The Hecatenian Family might reign supreme if we work well…” 𝗳r𝐞𝐞w𝐞bn𝚘ve𝚕.co𝐦

”Ahh, of course, big sister…” giggled Achlys. ”Of course!”

”Hah, honestly I wouldnʼt mind more peace, I have too many test subjects I had yet to test at all…” said Frigga. ”Biomancy is an incredible magic that I have yet to completely master after all…”

”Of course you would say that Frigga…” sneered Achlys. ”Now then, what shall we do?”

”The Outer Gods are slowly moving towards the Red Moon; they are most likely after our Emperor… However, I imagine they will not leave us alone, and might send their kindred here very soon,” Hecate said. ”And more importantly, I assume that the Sun god will not sit idly. A war not only against the Outer Gods, but the ancient enemy of all vampires might soon commence. It has happened so suddenly, but we might be facing the end of times.”

”The prophecy… it has come… true…” a young-looking sorceress goddess spoke behind the witch queens. ”Your majesties…”

Her short pink hair, her dry-looking lips, and her eyes covered with a black fabric made her look strange and bizarre, but this girl, whose fabric covering her eyes had painted a single red eye, was a very important member of their kingdom.

”The Divine Oracle, Nana…” Hecate nodded. ”It appears your oracle that time was right. Good thing we prepared much better than the rest…”

As the Witch Queens discussed with the Oracle, far away, the group composed of the ancient kings of old that had been recruited by the Emperor of Death, led by the Black Skeleton Lord, Thanatos, remained in silence.

”My lord…” one of them spoke. ”Do you presume it is truly the Outer Gods again?”

”What else then?” the giant vampire leading them asked, wearing black skeleton armor over his entire body. ”They have once more come for the Emperorʼs soul; do you expect us to remain immobile as they try to plunder our world? We shall wage war against all of them and their nasty kindred! However… I suppose the Emperor would probably get rid of most of them himself. Heʼs powerful enough to defeat our Emperor of Death, and merciful enough to spare his life…”

”Didnʼt he only spared him because the Emperor of Death created a Soul Oath that our Council would always serve him?” a lich wondered.

”Well… yes of course! Isnʼt that the very reason I am eager to fight them, fool? We must follow the Oath, or our Emperor of Death will have his soul eaten, fool!” the Black Skeleton Lord slammed the skull out of that lich, who promptly had to go look for it again.

Looking at the Council of Nosferatu, riddled with old men and women, and even Undead from ancient times, the King, and the Queen of the Dracul Kingdom looked at one another.

”Dear, it seems our idle days are finally coming to an end… Weʼve had plenty of children already, we can finally see bloodshed at long last,” Queen Cecilia smiled, a gorgeous woman with long crimson hair and blue eyes, wearing full- body black and red armor, and carrying a giant great sword.

”Indeed, my queen,” the King nodded. ”Bloodshed and war, how long Iʼve yearned for this day? The peaceful days the Emperor created have been nothing but torture for us… Finally, he will have to stand from his throne and fight too. This opportunity…” King Vlad, with his long black hair and his sharp crimson eyes smiled, wearing a heavy crimson armor and holding two enormous axes.

”If he ever flinches or suffers…”

”Then that throne might be finally ours instead…”

”Indeed~”

King and Queen Vlad smiled, both were madly in love, and also mad themselves.

The chaotic clouds above Abyss trembled, black and golden lightning surging endlessly.

The Red Moon was slowly being engulfed by black clouds, as the silhouettes of tentacled aberrations drew closer.

A monstrous figure surged amidst the black clouds, the largest of all of them, an aberration that could only be described by some as a massive door made of flesh and tentacles.

The Red Moon was only a few thousands of kilometers from its grasp, its massive tentacles drawing closer.

”Child of Azathoth, at long last, weʼve found you! Come out from your hiding place and face your destiny!”

As the dark skies trembled around the atmosphere of the Red Moon, inside of the Unholy Scarlet Palace, a Vampire sat over a throne of crimson steel.

His long silvery-white hair, his sharp crimson eyes, his handsome, yet still youthful-looking face, and those merciless, black pupils.

Wearing regal vampiric clothes, and holding a divine, golden sword in his hands.

The Emperor stood up.

And he smiled, his Aura erupting with tremendous force.

”So youʼve come, Yog-Sothoth.”

The silhouettes of his large family could be seen behind him.

The strongest Blood Gods of Abyss, the Luna Noctem Family.
