Epic Of Caterpillar

Chapter 2496: The Lord Of Chaosʼ Desperate Plan

After Wasp, the Third Apostle of Chaos asked his Lord about Frank, the man remained in silence for a few moments, before finally answering.

”My daughter seems to have developed... feelings for that kid.”

”Eh?”

”Kireina-sama has...?”

”The young lady?!”

”But thatʼs...”

The other Apostles panicked, yet Wasp remained calm. He seemed to not care about the young ladyʼs feelings for Frank at all, and if he was given permission he would go after the young man anyway.

”I suppose that means we wonʼt pursue him anymore. Despite how much you said he was like you? You said he was someone born with powers from beyond the Stars, someone dangerous that could threaten your life and your organization if we allowed him to grow.” Wasp said, boldly speaking calmly, without actually trying to berate his lord, as he merely repeated the same sentences the boss had said before.

The other Apostles seemed to glare at him with slight anger, although a few also agreed with his words, and the intention behind them.

Kireinaʼs father squinted his white eyes, glaring at Wasp with a slight amount of frustration, he knew what he meant after all.

”And also someone that could give you the power to reach the same level as the strongest Gods? Wasnʼt that your big plan, my lord? You stated that several times, how you much you wanted to dethrone Amaterasu and Susanoo.”

Kireinaʼs father glared at Wasp, as their eyes met. Wasp was bold, he allowed himself to be as someone so strong, a man that had lived for hundreds of years and had achieved almost the pinnacle of strength as someone born as a human.

”I know I said that, Wasp,” said Kireinaʼs father. ”And I wonʼt take that back. However, my daughter... She said she would hate me if I did something to Frank for now! And also sheʼs pretty strong you know?! So if you try to get in her way youʼre going to get killed! And I wonʼt take responsibility for that! That girlʼs unruly!”

”S-She said that?” Wasp muttered, twitching his eyebrows. ”Uh... Well, if you... if my lord says so, I suppose. Haaah... I suppose it canʼt be helped.”

”Perhaps growing up without a mother had made her act like this,” their boss sighed. ”Did I spoil her too much?” he facepalmed.

”Maybe.”

”Yes.”

”You definitely did, my lord.”

”I suppose itʼs because you tried to make up for the lack of her mother.”

”Itʼs understandable... I suppose it was a new experience for you, to most of us, to raise a child and all...”

”Hmm, right? I guess you guys helped a lot at the end,” sighed Kireinaʼs father. ”That girl... She has done nothing but bring me trouble but... She also... she also makes me happy.”

Most of the Apostles smiled lightly, although some, like Wasp, remained with calm, serious faces, although it was clear they were angered.

If it wasnʼt for her, their lord wouldnʼt have become so soft, he wouldnʼt have stopped his path towards destruction and chaos.

If it wasnʼt for her, for the young lady, that damned, spoiled brat!

”Having her kind of makes me want to not be so terrible anymore,” said the old man. ”Haah...” he sighed as he smoked more of his large cigarette.

”I am aware that you love your daughter, my lord, and I also promised I would help you raise her and protect her...” Wasp spoke once more. ”But Frankʼs entire thing is a separate matter altogether, my lord. Young girls... they are always falling in love with new boys. Itʼs only natural. Eventually that love will fade away, sheʼs young and is in her adolescence after all.”

”Hmm... Youʼre not wrong,” nodded the boss.

”Also, Amaterasu and Susanoo are great threats, and they had been openly showing their hostility towards our family,” said another Apostle, a pale-white woman with long red hair and sharp golden eyes, wearing a regal red and golden dress and a witch hat with a skull on top. ”If we could manage to slay those Gods, Japan as a whole could become our new Territory, one that is full of Corrupted Domains, Yokai, Mythical Spirits, and Kami for you to devour.”

”Yeah, youʼre right...”

”Remember my lord that your hunger is ever-growing,” said another man, with a tall, muscular frame, long silvery-white hair, and whose eyes were stitched together, wearing armor made of bones. ”Eventually, every one thousand years, your hunger grows, and to satiate it, you must devour Divinities. If it is not satiated in time, you may go berserk and lose a sense of yourself.”

”Thatʼs...”

”It would certainly be a terrible thing, isnʼt it? Especially with a daughter now... What if you go berserk and end up harming the young lady? Or... worse?” Wasp asked.

”No... I would never do that! My daughter...!”

”You know every well what happened the last time you went berserk, right?” asked the red- haired woman. ”You couldnʼt control yourself... And you ended destroying most of your Territory in the process. It was the reason why we started moving from place to place, until we finally settled down here after you met your late wife.”

”Tch...” groaned Kireinaʼs father, his entire body suddenly growing red eyes, looking desperate, furious! Even sharp teeth appeared across his entire body, they were drooling. The hunger... it was approaching once more. ”Dammit... A full-on war against the Japanese Kami is imminent I suppose. I need to feed myself. Frank is the key, as long as I can obtain his power, Iʼll be unrivaled even within their Divine World Domains combined together.”

The reason why he wasnʼt confident he could go against Amaterasu and Susanoo at the same time was because of their powerful ”Divine World Domain”, a technique that encompassed all of Japan and fed the two Gods with immense power and absolute authority. However, on a 1v1 battle, he could easily kill them... the big problem was this technique and their tricks, and of course, the massive army composed of thousands of Kami, as Japan was one of the countries with perhaps the largest amount of Gods in the world, most of them still

active.

”Wasp, Medea, Frankenstein...” His white eyes turned red, spiraling with darkness inside of them. ”Kill that kid and bring me his corpse and soul. And do it without my daughter finding -out.”

All three of them smiled maliciously.

”It shall be done as you wish, your eminence.”
