Epic Of Caterpillar

Chapter 2290 A Mighty Clash Between Behemoths

-----

”YOUʼLL PAY FOR THIS!”

Yog-Sothoth had no more patience, realizing that Noah had been showing less of his abilities only to surprise him like this, he knew he couldnʼt simply sit idly and enjoy the massacre.

The explosion of light burned the other half of his body, as he quickly and rapidly started regenerating his lost flesh, but the Void and Chaos Essence he lost was not coming back at all though.

”You think Iʼll let you regenerate in front of my face?”

Noah rushed forward, skipping through the sky at lightning speed, his entire body overflowing with tremendous power, his Cosmic Blood Sea still fused with Excalibur, forming the gigantic crimson spear he was wielding.

”Prepare yourself, youʼll die!”

”NO!”

With a furious roar full of authority, Yog-Sothoth distorted space and time itself around him, affecting Noah in the process. Noah felt his entire body and soul being pressed by a tremendous force.

”[Void Compression Domain]!”

His body and flesh started to slowly distort, tearing apart by merely being there. Noahʼs regeneration kept him healthy though, but the sound of his bones breaking and his muscle tearing and then regenerating constantly was unnerving.

”Interesting, I never fought an Outer God at your level, Yog-Sothoth, at most I fought the High Outer Gods, but not whatever you are,” Noah said. ”You seem… much different than the rest.”

”I am an Ancient Outer God! I am one of the original Shadows of Azathoth, of course those lowly lesser ones cannot compare to my greatness!” laughed Yog-Sothoth. ”Youʼre a disgrace to us Outer Gods, possessing a fragment of the almighty Azathoth, yet doing absolutely nothing with it! Nyarlathotep wasted all her powers on saving you, but it was futile! She was always a fool!”

”No, she wasnʼt. Iʼll forever be grateful to Nyarlathotep for what she did for me… She gave me a second chance, a new life,” Noah said. ”My previous life was full of hatred and destruction. And although this life was not too different, I was able to start anew, and I made the best out of it from the beginning.”

”Oh? Did I touch a little nerve with what I said? I forgot you little lesser beings are much more sentimental. Even you, who speaks and acts like you are cold and ruthless, have many emotions too, isnʼt it?” Yog-Sothothʼs Domain continued expanding and growing stronger.

Space became blacker, and the perception of time felt slower for Noah while it became much faster to Yog-Sothoth, at the same time, more and more doors started appearing through his body, even as his other half was taking very long to regenerate.

”Youʼre completely right…” Noah nodded. ”Iʼve never denied what I am. I am a flawed, emotional being. But that doesnʼt really mean anything at all in a battle, isnʼt it? Ultimately, only the strongest comes on top, no matter their dreams, no matter their emotions, and no matter who they loved, or who they were fighting for.”

”Indeed,” Yog-Sothoth nodded. ”And youʼre dying now, Noah. Because whatever youʼre fighting for, and whatever youʼre striving for… It will be completely futile.”

”Hmph,” Noah smirked for the first time. ”Whenever you think you have the upper hand, you immediately become extremely cocky, Yog-Sothoth. Is this weakness of yours the result of having never been truly challenged through your long life?”

”No, I simply know Iʼll win now,” Yog Sothoth laughed. ”Youʼre within my Void Compression Domain already! Your body is being constantly compressed, your soul must ache terribly, isnʼt it? Your regeneration has limits, yet this power has none! Void and Space exist within the fabric of Reality, I merely extract its powers endlessly! I am the Gate to the Void, Noah! And youʼre nothing but my aperitive!”

”Youʼre hilarious.”

”[Space-Slicing Void Blades]!”

Millions of blades, each one of a hundred meters of height materialized within an instant surrounding Noah, he knew exactly that by merely touching these blades, his defenses would immediately shatter.

Noah was never good at defense, specializing on speed, surprise attacks, and brutal physical power. Therefore, as the blades rushed towards him, his body started wearing down, being sliced apart with almost no resistance.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

Yet his regeneration was incredible, each slash regenerated a millisecond afterwards, Yog-Sothoth gritted his many teeth, rapidly accelerating the attacks one after another, as they came for Noah with even more speed.

”Enough.”

With a single word, Noah unleashed a shockwave, Divine Blood Power combined with his Cosmic Essence erupted from his body, his Blood Core, shining with blue and red color, having been forged and fused with all his Lifeblood Jewels he recovered, unleashed a devastating attack.

TRUUUMMM!

”UGH?!”

Yog-Sothoth felt the pressure, enormous, so powerful it made his own Domain shake! Was he underestimating Noah this entire time? Or was Noah truly weak? He didnʼt know! Noah fought in such an erratic way, it felt like he always had powers below his sleeve, and he purposely didnʼt used all his arsenal because he liked surprising opponents.

”[Corrupted Spear of Blood: Pillar of Destruction Rhongomyniad]”

FLUOSH!

His Cosmic Blood Sea converged once more with his sword, forming the crimson spear once more. The Blood Servants strength fused with it, enhancing its power even further.

”[Lifeblood Exceed: Level 2]”

RUMBLE!

With a single activation, the power of Lifeblood Exceed augmented itself to Level 2, his Aura was enhanced the friction, lightning, and heat power created by his blood rapidly rushing through his entire body hastened tremendously.

His Aura of Power grew twice as large, and his strength, agility, stamina, and defensive power was enhanced even further.

FLASH!

Within a second, he appeared in front of Yog-Sothoth, swinging his spear against him, a dozen attacks were unleashed at the same time, each one was like a piercing, crimson needle that left countless holes through his body.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

”UGH?! Heʼs going serious now?! Blades!”

He quickly conjured millions of more blades, rushing towards Noah again and quickly beginning to overwhelm him. Noah had to rapidly take care of them, but Yog-Sothoth continued conjuring more.

”[Void Compressing Domain: Enhancement]!”

RUMBLE!

The Domainʼs pressure became even stronger, Noah felt his internal body beginning to tear apart, yet his regeneration remained unparalleled, rapidly regenerating him back before he could get flattened like a pancake.

”This is going to take a little while,” he looked down. ”I am sure they can handle the rest.”
