Epic Of Caterpillar

Chapter 1900 The New Primordial Ruler Of The Maxima Universe, Kireina!

-----

”AAAGGH… UGH…! CURSE THAT MONSTER… KIREINAAAA!!!”

Within the depths of the Abyss inside of the Necrotic Plane, the screams of the furious and frustrated Ruler echoed… his monstrous, eldritch body shapeshifted constantly, trying its best to heal the many wounds he had.

Yet, one large wound couldnʼt simply be healed, it was too big and was bleeding miasma and nether everywhere within the Abyss he inhabited, this wound was a large piece of his own Soul and Body, which Kireina cut down before he could even pull back from Grand Terra…

”Hahhh… T-This is simply… impossible… unthinkable… M-Me?! Hurt like this?! Humiliated… like this…?!” Only rage swelled within his red eyes, as everything seemed utterly ridiculous. ”I will not tolerate this… I wonʼt…!”

Even though he was saying those things, he also felt extremely… afraid. He didnʼt even wanted to get near Kireina for a while. So for now, the Ruler of the Necrotic Plane will have to wait, rest, and maybe try to employ something else. Because there was no way heʼll get near that monster for now.

He only glanced in fear into the world of Grand Terra, his ambitions for now will have to… wait. Even if it hurt him. At the very least, Genesis was still within his grasp, as long as the Rulers of the other Planes didnʼt bother his invasion, thatʼs it.

”The Ruler of the Spiritual Plane… That bastardly woman reminds me of Kireina with all of her ridiculous ambitions…” He sighed. ”Iʼll make sure to crush you and not allow you to take over Genesis. The Core of the Origin World shall be mine and mine alone!”

Within Genesis, several more portals of the Necrotic Plane opened, as Undead and Necrotic Beasts surged, clashing against the Armies of Spiritual Soldiers and Spirit Beasts, the once peaceful world of Genesis now filled with wars between otherworldly beings…

”M-My sponsor… Please…!”

[The Cosmic Throne [Butterfly of Seven Colored Wings] glares at you while sighing in disappointment.]

”W-Wha…?! But… You said I was… that I was promising…!”

[The Cosmic Throne [Butterfly of Seven Colored Wings] smiles, laughing at your stupid pleas…]

[She says you were nothing but a little entertainment.]

[And that… she no longer cares about you. A foolish, weak old man.]

”A-Ah…”

Meanwhile, as the last bits of consciousness of the Ruler of the Maxima Universe faded away, his pleas were unanswered, as the Cosmic Entity that has been watching over him merely ignored him until his very being dissipated, devoured by Kireina, and then… reused.

FLUOOOSH!

Incapable of moving her whole body to another Universe completely like this, Kireina simply decided to cut a piece of herself and fill it with the power of the Maxima Universe Ruler, while connecting her own soul with it… And left her there, sitting over the throne, and stabilizing the universe from being destroyed.

As this happened, within Grand Terra, the Genieʼs soul was completely destroyed, as Luminousʼ Spiritual Manifestation consumed his very existence with his light, avenging his creators whose corpses had been defiled by him, and of course, for his treason due to allying with otherworldly entities that wanted to conquer their world.

”U-ugh… Why… why did you had to be… born perfect… and not me?!” The Genie cried on his last moments, beneath the bright sunlight of the morning, his soul dissipated into ashes in front of Luminous eyes.

”I wasnʼt born perfect.” Luminous sighed. ”In fact, it took me a long time to realize who I truly was, or what was my real purpose… We werenʼt so different, Genie. But you simply decided to walk through a path alone, while I embraced this beautiful world, and decided to walk alongside its inhabitants. Farewell, brother…”

The Genieʼs red eyes, filled with anger slowly dissipated, and so his very existence, until nothing was left of him…

As Luminous flew above the skies, and was bathed by the bright sunlight, he sighed in relief, yet he couldnʼt hide the slight sadness he felt within his heart.

Someone made by the Gods in a similar fashion to him, someone that could had been his brother, someone which he could had shared his long lifespan with, a companion, a family…

It was all lost, on his own insanity, the thirst for power, and the grudges he held against the gods and the whole world.

”I wish things could sometimes be different.” Luminous sighed.

”Well, youʼre not the only one.” Amiphossia appeared behind him.

”Yeah.” Ryo said. ”Well, whereʼs mom anyways?”

”Here~!” Kireina appeared above the three with a big smile in her face. ”Heheheh… You know what crazy thing happened?”

”You repelled the two Rulers?” Amiphossia asked.

”Nope, something even bigger!” Kireina smiled.

”Something… even bigger?!” Ryo asked. ”Wait, donʼt tell me… But that would be impossible, wouldnʼt it?!”

”Impossible is not a word in my vocabulary!” Kireina puffed her big chest. ”Heh, youʼre seeing the new ruler of the Maxima Universe! I ate that boring old man. Oh, I even got his memories and stuff, but thatʼll be for later. Right, also his powers I guess? Though theyʼre mostly better within his own Universe…” She crossed her arms.

”EEEHHHH?!” Luminous, Amiphossia, and Ryo reacted in shock.

”W-Wait a second doesnʼt that mean… But how?!” Ryo asked. ”Wasnʼt he… like the ruler of a whole ass universe?!”

”This isnʼt even real! Mom stop lying!” Amiphossia said.

”E-Eh? Oh my, I feel heartbroken! I guess my children have lost faith in their mother after seeing me die back then, huh?” Kireina sighed. ”I simply employed a variety of powers and tactics I already possessed. Letʼs say it was all thanks to all the strength and powers Iʼve built in this world, and well, my own Trait, [Defiance]!”

As the four descended from the skies to the land below, Kireina quickly gave her kids a brief explanation of how she accomplished something utterly impossible in the simplest terms imaginable. At the end, they were left flabbergasted that their power had jumped in power so fast.

”Well, if it happened, it is real.” Sighed Ryo. ”Amazing…”

”Does this means youʼre as strong as a Universal Ruler now, mom?!” Amiphossia was excited.

”More or less, this body doesnʼt have that power, itʼs the one in that Universe.” Kireina sighed, but then smiled. ”But that doesnʼt mean I cannot channel a part of that power into this body though~!”

She knew it would surely come in handy against beings such as this worldʼs Demon King, which the more she learned about him, the more she felt he was a being beyond the Genieʼs power.

If she wanted the Cosmic Shards back and to go back to Genesis, the Demon King was now the very last obstacle in her path and against him, sheʼll have to use every power she has, even the ones she had inherited from devouring a Universal Ruler…

And seeing how this world is constantly being watched by entities far away, it is totally possible even the Demon King has such ”sponsors”, much like the Genie was being sponsored by the two Rulers she defeated.

And meanwhile, back to the Maxima Universe, her second body sat down there with a pleasing smile, crossing her legs seductively.

”Now, now, no need to be so surprised. Letʼs get along, okay? I know youʼre all that old manʼs descendants.” She laughed. ”I hope you are all good boys and girls, and obey me well from now on~ You better not get in my bad side, okay?”

The Maxima Universe was now under a new Ruler!
