Epic Of Caterpillar

Chapter 2508: Strategizing

The congregations were rather surprised that someone as famous as Hades had appeared, after Helʼs defeat and her unknown whereabouts, Hades was the sole owner of a proper Underworld in the world of Genesis, and also the one everyone thought was the sole owner of the last remaining powers originating from the Primordial Divine Spirit of Death, one of the first original gods of Genesis, direct creations of Genesis to regulate the worldʼs changing climate, elements, and its new powers as she parasitized the planetʼs crystalized core and empowered it with her divine and cosmic lifeforce.

By many, they were considered the ”Original Pillars of Creation” and also the first ever Gods, beings that were also called ”Lady Genesisʼ only Children” by many Gods, something that had awakened her rage more than one time, as she actually didnʼt consider them her children in the same sense a mother would do to the baby they gave birth to, and they were more like her ”creations” which served their purpose... although indeed, she still had a grudge against every single god that killed them and absorbed their powers.

Although some of them had also died voluntarily and gave away their powers to other younger Gods, sensing changes into the world and realizing that the new age and eras didnʼt belong to them anymore, such as the Primordial Divine Spirit of Souls, which the Supreme Goddess of Souls and Reincarnation gained her powers from, while also being their direct adopted child and disciple, inheriting the job of taking care of the Wheel of Reincarnation of Genesis.

Hades was indeed a mysterious and now even more feared figure among the Gods, even more as his presence exuded a God that had already reached Supreme God Level, and seemed to be rapidly going even beyond with the help of his Spirit Friend, a traitor of the Primordial Spirit Empress, a sibling that desired her death, but lacked the power to do so and came looking for a suitable vessel and power to defeat her, they shared goals, so it was all good at the end, despite how may Ferberite look like.

His main motives, however, the motives that drove Hades, was the kidnaping of his wife, Persephone, by the hands of the Human Galactic Confederation, the descendants of Genesisʼ original human tribe that escaped into space, only to come back with technology that surpasses even divinity.

They had arrived here for only a couple of days, but they had already advanced tremendously, their resourcefulness and ability to gather and fight together was immense, and whenever one of them died by the hands of someone, ten more of them would show up quickly after to avenge them.

Much like the humans from Genesis, these humans held the same spirit of union and vengeance, their endless, relentless spirits were also hard to break, and they were very intelligent and resourceful, constantly analyzing new magical and divine resources to assimilate them into their technology, although they had been unable to do so yet as their technology hasnʼt changed a single bit since they appeared. Meaning that their progress and adaptability to new resources might take a long time, years perhaps.

Persephone was kidnaped after their failed attempt at invading Tartarus, the gigantic Realm that Hades controlled, a massive Underworld Realm that existed within the Dark Abyss of Genesis, the darkest and deepest areas of the Astral Road where no Stars shone, and where the Chaotic Miasmic Sea was constantly pouring into.

Hades showed how strong he was by being able to repel their invasion, gaining even more respect by the other Gods, although he ended losing his wife to the Humans, and just the thought of them doing experiments to her filled him with rage... For the sake of his beloved treasure, and his children, he had to rescue her at all costs.

And for that... he knew he couldnʼt do it alone. Therefore, he offered his strength and power to help the Supremes and Genesis repel the Human Forces, all while finding an opportunity to rescue Persephone from their clutches.

If anything, he was still relieved he could sense her Lifeforce, she was alive, at the very least... And that was enough to drive him to do anything to find her.

With Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi, both the Goddess of the Sun and the God of the Moon of these respective, gigantic astral objects within Genesis, the meeting began, the Supreme of Fate spreading the map and showing everyone what was inside, several factions appeared, giant flags popping up, the entire ”cosmos” within Genesis was revealed to them fully, never have they seen in their lives a more detailed map of the entirety of the Astral Road and the many Realms.

”So this is the Genesis Map, the map that contains it all...” Tsukuyomi was shocked. ”It is the first time I ever see it! Itʼs... impressive.”

”It has everything on it? Absolutely all?” Amaterasu asked.

”Yes, it does,” the Supreme of Fate nodded. ”Now, first of all, we should prioritize the safety of the Core of Genesis. Although weʼre comfortably protected by several dimensional layers that Lucifer had created beforehand, itʼll be a matter of time for being such as the Outer Gods, who can freely travel through the Void and Space to break through. Or the Humans to find a way in through their ridiculous technology... Therefore we must immediately destroy the nearby conquered areas.”

”Such as those over there?” Tsukuyomi asked, pointing at two large realms that stood in front of Genesis with some interest.

One of them had already been conquered by two factions, Galactic Humanity and the Spirit Plane, and the other was being attacked by the Galactic Humanity, the Chaotic Plane, the Spiritual Plane, the Demons, and the Outer Gods.

”Indeed, and itʼs the perfect stage for them to fight to the death,” smiled the Supreme of Fate. ”I can manipulate fate, and although their battles had not been small, nothing large scale has happened yet, they keep distance from one another, but if they get to see one another, theyʼll battle to the death, I know them very well after observing them.”
