Epic Of Caterpillar

Chapter 1362 [Supreme Wars: Act I] 3/?: Ambushed!

-----

While the Supreme Gods were attempting to comprehend Kireinaʼs powers, they quickly detected the presences of entities beneath the surface of the ocean of death approaching them at a fast speed! They had enormous senses but, in this sea, they were easily dulled due to its distortion capabilities. However, as they were now, they were capable of sensing these presences with enormous ease, becoming capable of realizing that they were approaching at an insane speed! They couldnʼt easily afford having them chase them down so easily! If these lurkers forced them into a corner or if they attempted a pincer attack, things would get ahead of themselves and the Supreme Gods would be forced into spending more of the energy they wanted to save to defeat Hel!

”Presences are approaching rapidly!” Said Kireina.

”I know! Get ready to fight!” Said Flora.

”Are we already fighting? We are not even halfway through!” Complained Aura.

”Letʼs see what Hel has for us!” Said Rimuru.

”As I said, I shall not intervene more than this, so good luck~” Said Lucifer.

TRUUUUMMM…!

The death ocean before the Supreme Gods began to tremble as it generated bubbles from within, entities started to swim towards them and then, they all emerged as the enormous ship was still moving, splashing around the dead sea across the entire place!

SPLAAAASH!

BOOOM!

The dead sea was incredibly deadly and corrosive, if it were to directly fall over the entire ship, it would cause severe damage!

TRUUM!

However, the rain of death miasma was stopped by the Safe Field of Lucifer, as she shaped it around and generated a bubble-like protection barrier! However, if she wanted it to last against the death miasma rain that would sometimes fall over the ship when these beings emerged from within it, she would have to leave the general protection against attacks to the Supreme Gods to handle!

The figures that emerged from the death sea were dozens, hundreds- no, thousands! They were of all shapes and sizes, some were giants, other were human-looking, some looked like elves, while others were covered completely by dark metals, rocks, and ice, some resembled beings made of black flames, and some others looked like wild beasts and animals with gigantic proportions… they were all a varied group of powerful entities, and they emanated the powerful Aura of Pseudo Supreme God Divinities! However, they were completely immune to the Death Miasma Sea powers, this only meant one thing.

They were one of the new phenomena that had emerged in the world of Genesis with the emergence of Hel as the Goddess of Death, they were those that had died long ago and were not able to retrieve their souls nor be reincarnated, soul people died and was forbidden by everybody, such people that died with many regrets, those people… especially even gods, they emerged once more.

Enormous tombs appeared in every Realm, and within them these gods and mortals woke up again, as a new type of Undead, Undead Gods! And all of them emerged when the Era of Death started. They all heard the command of their supreme leader, Hel, as they reached Helheim and quickly began to strengthen themselves to serve her in the best possible ways they could do!

And now, she had employed a large and substantial quantity of these powerful Undead Gods, many of them were the fallen Gods of the Ragnar?k war, however, there were also some gods that had fallen before, and had become animalistic divine beasts that got struck down eventually, only dying in resentment as their essence and origin mixed with the essence of existence.

With the Era of Death starting up, now all these beings of pure death were reemerging once more, with the sole intent of devouring all life and avenge their deaths and the deaths of their comrades! Amongst the figures that emerged, some were actually rather familiar to the Supreme Gods! Fallen comrades that got lost in battle, and sworn enemies which they had defeated, all of theme emerged in this enormous army of flying Undead Gods.

Even Kireina was not an exception, as she recognized many beings she had once slain who had their own dreams and ambitions, and which she took them all away from them, after their deaths, their souls went ”elsewhere” only to reawaken in new Undead Bodies as Undead Gods due to Helʼs will… they came for payback, and they were filled with resentment!

Kireina looked at these figures as she suddenly recognized a few, completely left speechless as she realized that there were some figures, she thought wouldnʼt be able to revive back, but had somehow come back here… figures that she only saw so long ago that she never thought about them ever again since then. But now… they were all back together, and stronger than ever, all so they could bring her to the cold embrace of death, or at least try, they were dead anyways, and had nothing to lose now.

Kireina gritted her teeth as her eyebrows twitched several times in disbelief at the figures she was looking at, these figures whose appearances had become slightly darker and more phantasmal, but that were the same ones that once put themselves in front of her as her greatest and first challenges, the ones she mercilessly killed so she could thrive, and more… all of them emerged, looking down at her. The only exceptions were all of those whose souls were either eaten or who were reincarnated. Therefore, there were only a bunch of very old friends… or well, very old enemies. Although not even a year has passed since their deaths, it truly felt like an eternity for them since their deaths, and now that they were back with the power of Pseudo Supreme Gods, they were not going to go down as easily as before, even les as Kireina had to concentrate into maintaining the ship from sinking with the other Supremes!

”Hello, Kireina… It has been truly a long while. Youʼve grown a lot since back then, havenʼt you?”

An Undead God with the appearance of a gigantic hairy spider greeted Kireinaʼs sight.

”Huh?! You…?!”
