Epic Of Caterpillar

Chapter 2389: The Plans Of The Spirits

As Uru was defeated and freed from the Spirit Parasite that turned him into a monstrosity, within the Frost Castle at the center of this frozen landscape, there was a throne made of ice and fire, where two enormous titanic monsters sat down, remaining in silence.

Right by their side, hundreds of other titans made of frost and fire were standing like guards, holding giant weapons made of these combined elements, as they all stood in silence, a woman floated above them.

Unlike these elemental titans, she was much smaller, not taller than three meters of height, her body was entirely made of glowing crystals of gold, silver, black, and red color, her appearance resembled a humanoid praying mantis made of jewels, her long, sharp fingers, which ended on crystalline claws, were holding a staff made from the branches of a powerful tree.

A tree born from the crystalline World Core Fragment of Genesis, which Freyja grew into an Yggdrasil Tree of Dreams. A mere branch of it created an incredible weapon, a staff that allowed her to do many new things.

A gift from her Empress as a sign of gratitude towards her services so far.

She smiled, as she noticed that her forces were being destroyed at this moment. And with the defeat of Uru, one of the strongest beasts she had risen around here, she immediately thought it was her time to leave this place.

”Hmm, looks like they defeated the big bear one...” she smiled, clicking her mandibles. ”Iʼll have to leave then my dears. Will you behave while mama is away?”

She glanced at the two giants in front of her, caressing their enormous and monster-like heads, giggling to herself over the things she has made.

”See how beautiful you are now?” she said with a pleased smile. ”How wonderful you are? So strong and mighty! Before you were nothing but weak flesh and blood, but now? Youʼve achieved your truest forms, and with those materials we got from those little tentacled friends that seem completely unaware of me, youʼve become even stronger. Madness and chaos flows through you! Ahhh~! Arenʼt you all such beautiful works of art?! I wish I could keep you! But I already have so many at home!”

FLUOSH!

Suddenly, space itself shattered apart, as someone emerged from within the portal that opened right by her left side, a man made of black and gray crystals, covered on black, tattered robes, black crystal chains dangling from his hands and legs.

The only thing visible about his face were his sharp, glowing red eyes beneath shadows over his face. It didnʼt help that his face, like his body, was made of black crystals so dark they couldnʼt reflect light very easily.

”Hedlehash.”

His voice was tenebrous and serious, his sharp crimson eyes glaring at her.

”Oh my, Obsidian, have you come to pick me up? How nice of you!”

The manʼs red eyes squinted slightly.

”Yes, orders from our Master. Donʼt tell me you were planning to fight them on your own?

Even less when that thing, Kireina, is on the loose. Letʼs go.”

”Hmph! But I really wanted to have some more fun, Obsidian!”

The evil sorceress protested as if she were a spoiled child, the man simple grabbed her hand and dragged her with him.

”Come already. Were you planning on staying here?”

”I was going to use the staff to escape into the Dream Plane and back home, actually.”

She quickly let go of his black jeweled hand, her big crimson eyes glaring at him.

”Hmm, oh dear, you would make a perfect little beast as well...”

”Donʼt you dare say anything like that again, or Iʼll seal you into a little worm.”

However, Obsidian was not messing around, his eyes piercing through the sorceress soul.

”How scary! Okay, Iʼm sorryyyy! It was just a lilʼ joke, you know?”

”Shut up and come.”

”Yes- Ah, wait a bit.”

She quickly flew back to her creatures, and then decided to let go of her control over them, the dream essence of her staff quickly reabsorbing the spells she conjured.

”Huh? What are you doing?”

Obsidian didnʼt understand what this woman was up to now.

He was seriously growing tired of her shit.

Then, out of nowhere...

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

Red sigils resembling crowns appeared all over the spiritual chimeric beasts, taking over them and manipulating them.

A new owner had taken over the moment she let go of her creations.

”What the...?”

Obsidian was left slightly surprised,

”Hmm, yes, let that Vampire control you instead, my dears,” she smiled. ”His Control Sigils empower your abilities even further, right? So make sure to kill them all for me, okay?”

As the woman giggled, the Titans quickly glared at her and Obsidian, rushing towards them as they roared, they werenʼt any longer allies but foes to slay.

”ROOOAARRR!”

A monstrous roar echoed as her greatest creation in here rushed towards Hedlehash, aiming to blast her with a deadly breath attack of fire and ice.

”Oh my! So eager to kill mama already! Hehehe!”

”Tch, Hedlehash, thatʼs enough!”

Obsidian grabbed her with his chains and rushed through the portal, a second before the breath attack were to hit them and closing it right after.

BOOOM!

”Oh my! Carrying me like Iʼm your beloved?”

The sorceress smiled, glaring at the man as he carried her on his arms, her antennae twitching

and touching his face.

”Nope.”

He quickly dropped her into the floor, making a loud thud as Hedlehash fell into the hard

floor.

”Ouch! Hey, you brute! This is not how you treat a lady!”

Hedlehash quickly stood up, startled as she realized she was standing right in front of a throne of pure rainbow crystals everywhere, and golden light in any angle.

There was someone sitting over such an enormous throne, a chromatic empress of all the colors of the rainbow, made of the hardest of crystals, with a proud smile and sharp, rainbow

eyes.

”Hedlehash, Obsidian, youʼre back,” she spoke with a pleased tone of voice. ”Done playing

around?”

”Ah! Yes master!” Hedlehash quickly kneeled.

”Iʼve retrieved her as you have requested, master,” Obsidian kneeled as well.

”Good.”

The woman then stood up, her shiny crown illuminating her surroundings, as a tall, bearded man stood in front of her throne, guarding her.

He wore golden armor and had long white hair and an equally long beard, his old face showed experience in battle and war, and his left eye had an eyepatch.

He was holding upon a golden and blue spear, capable of slaying the mightiest of gods.

”Odin, step aside please.”

”A-Ah! Yes...”

However, before her, he was nothing but a servant, stepping back to let her continue walking.

Surrounding her there were other figures, the children of Odin and his family, already having joined her as her new subjects.

”That dark world of Abyss... It will be ours on its due time,” she said. ”However, we must not

let these events push us away from our true goals, right?”

She glanced into a large mirror, reflecting the world of Genesis, its many realms, and the chaotic state that it had taken after everything has happened so far.

”This world... I need it, it shall be our anchor to that Universe,” she smiled. ”A whole new

universe for us to devour. You will give it all to me, right?”

”Yes, master...”
