Epic Of Caterpillar

Chapter 2013 A Dear Family Of Her Own

-----

CRAAAASSSSH!!!

The Vampiric Spirit Beast exploded into pieces, its crystals flying everywhere, as Aleksandra stored them inside her Divine Realm alongside the still unconscious Jerold, Caedmon and the other Vampires making up the beastʼs true power.

”Phew…” The Vampire Queen sighed. ”That was tougher than I imagined… If it wasnʼt for this Sea of Blood, I would have not been able to get so far against that monster…”

Despite the monster being made of Vampire Gods that were weaker than her, the power they made by combining together and then being corrupted by whatever energies they held was tremendous.

It felt as if Aleksandra had fought a Supreme God all by herself and somehow won just because she had an endless supply of energy to absorb from everywhere… And only because this supreme god was just a wild beast with only a few moves and little brains.

”Thankfully it didnʼt inherit Jerold or Caedmonʼs intelligence, or it would had been a completely different battle.” She sighed in relief, quickly swimming into the surface, admiring the chaotic scenario around her.

The skies were darkened in one area, completely being consumed by chaotic energies, distorting them into black, swirling clouds and purple and red colors. Meanwhile, the other side of the skies shone brightly with a bright pink, and yellow light, covered by an endless sea of majestic clouds, and to the distance, many floating and colorful crystals, and even other islands.

”W-What is this…?!”

However, this wasnʼt the end of it, as Aleksandra quickly noticed, with her powerful divine eyes, that the whole Realm of Ravenfolt had crashed with another, gigantic Realm composed primarily of salt water, a beautiful ocean that quickly reminded her of the only Realm in Genesis like this…

”Atlantis… And Ravenfolt crashed?!” She gasped, noticing that the Sea of Blood was constantly clashing against the Sea of Atlantis, generating a gigantic tornado as both oceans began to distort one another.

The atmospheres of the Realms were so strong as they possessed such huge quantities of Divine Power that they generated huge cataclysmic change all across.

But that wasnʼt just the worse part yet.

Right in the background, behind both enormous Realms who had clashed, there was a huge crack in space and time, opening it up was a mass of swirling black flesh, miasma, chaos, tentacles, and eyes.

”A Chaotic Plane Gate! It opened here?! Wait, where exactly am I?! Ravenfolt, Atlantis, then this Gate, and this Sky… And this energy! Donʼt tell me we all got sucked inside of the Spiritual Plane?! And I do happen to get caught in the middle of the Chaotic Planeʼs invasion?! Oh, by the Primordials, give me a BREAK!”

Aleksandra was already having enough problems for today, as she sighed angrily, her blue hair waving along at the tempestuous winds generated by both Realms atmospheres fusing.

”Ugh, my hairʼs going to get terrible after this!” She complained. ”Anyways, letʼs concentrate in what we can do… Gather the rest of my family and then- Huh?”

And then she suddenly noticed in the Realm of Atlantis as a huge group of Gods was gathering together with their King, Poseidon, the Chaotic Entity emerging from the Chaotic Plane Gate directing its many eyes into them.

”Would you look at that.” Aleksandra smiled. ”Maybe those Gods arenʼt all that bad…”

She quickly covered her entire body in a veil of her Blood Divinity and transformed her Blood Armor into the shape of a giant shark, swimming across the sea of blood rapidly.

Using her senses and her connection with her Vampires, she started seeking them one after another, crushing the beasts they had become to and quickly sealing them inside her Divine Realm.

As this happened, a part of her consciousness was within her Divine Realm, materialized into the body of a Divine Blood Clone overseeing the bubbles of blood where the infected were sealed with the rest of her Vampires and Blood Elves living there.

”Any reports?” She asked.

”Weʼve analyzed some of our kin, and weʼve found a few things.” One of the Vampires spoke. ”It appears that their Divine Realms are ”clogged” with what weʼll call Spiritual Energy, the energy of the Spiritual Plane. Also, the Chaos Energy had corroded their bodies, creating some sort of cancerous growth…”

”Both energies seem to be clashing against one another, generating the growth of these red and black crystals to intensity, and aiming to constantly turn them into monsters…” A Blood Elf woman said.

”I see…” Aleksandra sighed. ”If we could still channel the powers Kireina-sama gave to us, dealing with this problem wouldnʼt be so hard, our mechanic armor and most of our other things broke as well. We are limited to what we have…”

”Yeah…”

”Donʼt lose hope yet, my queen…”

”We are here as well; we can find something together.”

As her many citizens tried to cheer up their Goddess, Aleksandra blushed a bit, crossing her arms as she glanced back at them with a dignified look, yet slightly embarrassed by their praises.

”B-But of course I can do it. Hmph, donʼt think I just need you for everything either…” Aleksandra sighed. ”If only Kireina-sama was here… But oh well, even without her or Agatheina-sama, we have not grown stronger for nothing.”

”Do yo have some idea, milady?” Asked the Vampire Doctor that had spoken to her beforehand.

”Yeah, Iʼm just going to brute force it.” Aleksandra smiled. ”If I am the only one that somehow wasnʼt affected, it must mean something. Iʼll simply have to absorb this power and control it.”

”W-What?!”

”Wait, my queen!”

”Isnʼt it too dangerous though?!”

”It might be, but itʼs not like I have any other option now, donʼt I?” Aleksandra sighed. ”Especially with the war thatʼs about to rage outside. For now, prepare a Divine Array of Extraction around the Vampire Tower.”

Aleksandra heard none of their answers as her consciousness once more traveled back into her body, her chest beginning to overflow with Spiritual Energy and some of the Chaos Energy around the atmosphere.

She sat cross legged, beginning to float amidst the sea of blood as the crimson ocean started swirling around her with uncontrollable and chaotic rage.

SPLAAASH! FLUOOOSH!

The Blood Ocean started to slowly gather into her body, generating dozens of small rivers of Blood, beginning to rapidly flow into her entire body, as she gritted her teeth, forcing her body to absorb these alien energies!

”I have to do it…! I have to!”

FLAAASH!

She kept suffering a tremendous pain as the energies tried to contaminate and take over her body. Yet Aleksandra was mightier than these feeble energies, utilizing the endless resource of Divine Gods Blood to her advantage, and using them to recover the energies she constantly depleted.

At the same time, her body started to be slowly refined, and so her soul! And something within her still, Undead Heart started to change, as it slowly began to cover itself on red and black crystals, the sensation was agonizing, but the feeling of new strength was incredible.

”This power… I have to channel it!” Aleksandra kept pushing herself. ”For my family, for my people…!”

Despite having been seen often as just yet another villainous woman within Kireinaʼs path, Aleksandra was someone with strong principles and an ever-growing love for her people, something that she wasnʼt that much before, until Kireina taught her the importance and preciousness of Family.

She always desired to have a family with her, yet Kireina was already surrounded by so many people she loved…

Until she finally realized she always had a family with her, a family that loved her and cared for her…

”I wonʼt leave you behind, my dear family…!”

FLAAAASH!
