Epic Of Caterpillar

Chapter 2916 - 2917: Papa Chaos Is Here!

-----

Abyssian emerged amid the distorted spacetime. After unleashing 100% of his power, he hurled Kireina far away with all his might, intent on erasing her completely.

His colossal body had grown to nearly a thousand kilometers tall. He rose above the black heavens of Yomi, gazing down at the other Chaos Kings as they battled their foes.

Amaterasu-no-Tsukuyomi held her ground fiercely, fighting toe-to-toe with Territtiii. While the Chaos King manipulated matter itself, the fused Kamis matched him almost perfectly, unleashing potent Consciousness Attacks by shaping and transforming their Divine Consciousness—born from the fusion of hundreds of Gods.

Obhedhrur pursued Zeleterr relentlessly. The two Chaos Kings appeared evenly matched at first, but the Heart Path Cultivator proved stronger. His evolved power and attacks rapidly overwhelmed Zeleterr, even with the latterʼs mastery over all weapons. The Chaos King was already losing momentum.

Kireinaʼs wives—Zehe, Nesiphae, Brontes, Rimuru, and Lilith—had merged into a towering giantess of combined divinity and cosmic power. Their Heart Essences fused into this form, embodying their unbreakable unity as Kireinaʼs beloved wives and family.

Sermethk, capable of absorbing all damage, struggled desperately. His Soul endured constant assault from Brontesʼ thunderous hammer, Nesiphaeʼs cursed axe, Zeheʼs abyssal void magic, Lilithʼs earth dragon claws, and Rimuruʼs rainbow divine blade. All had become Manifestations of their Heart Essence, easily piercing into the Plane of Souls and striking the damage absorber directly.

Izanami targeted Raklextr. She used her endlessly regenerating body to tank his monstrous physical attacks—claws, legs, tails, and wings—while bombarding him with Life-Death Magic. The fusion of Death and Life slowly tore through his defenses over time.

Meanwhile, Ryo, Amiphossia, and the others supported Izanami and Kireinaʼs wives most of the time, occasionally healing Amaterasu-no-Tsukuyomi. The siblings struck decisively whenever openings appeared, targeting weak points and exposed armor for massive damage.

Abyssian seemed disappointed. Aside from Obhedhrur, none of the Chaos Kings impressed him. Of course, he offered them no help. He considered them neither comrades nor friends.

”What a bunch of losers. How can they not handle some lower lifeforms like those?” he groaned, crossing his four pairs of arms. ”Well, it doesnʼt matter. I will win no matter what. If they die, I can simply devour them and grow even stronger. Then I can turn against those fighting them and grow stronger still. Later, I shall conquer this new land and continue ascending. I might finally break through the Multiversal Boundary and reach the Higher Dimensions! I will ascend to the Empyrean Throne no matter what!”

The power-hungry First Chaos King laughed as he watched his fellows struggle—unaware that above the starry sky of Yomi, countless colors began to manifest, distorting and warping reality itself.

”…What?!”

His eyes widened, but it was already too late. Several giant fragments of realms and domains plummeted like meteors, bombarding everyone in the vicinity.

The Chaos Kings were shoved aside by their opponents, used as improvised shields and forced to absorb the brunt of the impacts.

Abyssian conjured a Spacetime Barrier to deflect everything effortlessly, waving his hand to hurl away any debris that threatened him.

”What is this?! Itʼs as if… a dimension above us has suddenly collapsed?!”

What Abyssian witnessed were dimensional fragments crashing everywhere, along with entities emerging from within.

Anyone tough enough to survive a dimension collapsing around them deserved his attention.

”Who are these little worms? More entertaining things like that Kireina woman?”

”Did you say Kireina?”

”…?!”

Abyssian hadnʼt even noticed HIM appearing behind him—sneakier than any foe he had ever faced in the Chaos Plane.

A mass of chaos. An entity born from it, like him.

But different. His origin lay in this universe, not the Chaos Plane.

Weaker. Pathetic. Someone to be humiliated.

Yet something was wrong with this particular entity.

He spoke too much like a human.

”Where is she?”

”Who?”

”Kireina! Sheʼs my daughter!”

”…Your daughter, you say?”

Abyssian felt genuine surprise. This small creature showed no fear of his titanic size or his Spacetime Manipulation Chaotic Powers.

”I punched her. She was sent flying outside of the known universe. She either disintegrated or drowned in the Sea of Emptiness. Either way, sheʼs dead! Nobody could ever survive that.”

”…”

”So youʼre her father? What is this? A family reunion? Do you wish to join her? Allow me the pleasure.”

Abyssian, usually calm, now burned with bloodthirsty combat lust after clashing with someone like Kireina. He instantly thrust his fists toward HIM.

”You… did that to my daughter?”

As the fists closed in—distorting space and time—He didnʼt flinch.

His small body suddenly expanded.

Almost… endlessly.

TRUUUM!

”…?!”

Abyssianʼs fists struck nothing but an infinite stream of chaos.

For a moment, he felt as if he had returned to the Chaos Plane.

The enemy he had attacked had become the Chaos Plane itself.

”What?”

”YOU WILL PAY WITH YOUR LIFE.”

Trillions of crimson eyes opened across the infinite black heavens that now filled Abyssianʼs vision.

In every fiber of this entity, the First King of Chaos sensed only one thing.

Endless wrath.

”Hoh, another anomaly… Good…! Then—Ngh?!”

Abyssian suddenly felt his connection to the Chaos Plane severed completely.

The portal leading there had been consumed by the entity he now faced.

Kireinaʼs Father.

Lord Chaos, Master of the Chaos Gate.

The Worldʼs Biggest Criminal Organization.

And also.

A monster beyond measure—one not even all the gods combined could stop.

An absolute monster!

”No matter. I can merely draw chaos power from—NNGAAAAAA?!”

Abyssian foolishly tried to absorb Lord Chaosʼ chaotic essence to empower himself further.

A terrible mistake!

His arms bubbled and exploded into pieces as he felt Lord Chaos infiltrating his body.

While Chaos Kings were lifeforms born in the Chaos Plane that fed on it and grew immensely powerful…

Lord Chaos was different.

He was a Chaos Plane itself.

One with consciousness.

”I WILL DESTROY YOU NO MATTER WHAT!!!”

With a furious roar, Abyssian felt his entire body seized by quintillions of arms, tearing him apart down to the subatomic level.

”W-WHAT IN THE WORLD?!”

Abyssian panicked and screamed as he unleashed his full power.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Lord Chaos endured millions of Spacetime Cosmic Explosions. His entire form was pushed back as Abyssian rapidly regenerated his body.

However.

”Gah?!”

From every wound, fragments of Lord Chaos remained, infecting his interior.

”BEGONE!”

Using his Spacetime Chaos Power, he reversed time to make the fragments never exist.

But by doing so, all the pieces simply returned to Lord Chaos, whose position reset to the moment before the attack.

”Damn it! What is this?!”

Abyssian realized Lord Chaos allowed his powers to affect everything—not just him.

He was likely using his authority as a Dimension itself.

”You have power over Time and Space, right? Interesting. By expanding my Inner Heavenly Domain and capturing you inside, I control space and time as well. This affects you in place.”

”Then I have to merely escape!”

Abyssian charged his fists with the same power he had used to send Kireina flying into the Outerverse.

BOOOMMM!!!

He pierced straight through Lord Chaos and broke free!

”…?!”

Into the void.

”Sure, you can try to escape all you want! Go ahead!”

Abyssian was attacked from every angle once more. Quintillions of arms tore at his existence.

”GAAAAHHHH!”

He had never struggled this much before!

If he hadnʼt been disconnected from his dimension, he could have drawn infinite power from the territory he had conquered.

But with that link severed, he could no longer grow infinitely.

”DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE!”

Lord Chaos roared as he relentlessly pummeled Abyssian while the Chaos King desperately tried to regenerate.

”ENOUGH!!!”

Abyssian lost control. He roared ferociously, burning through his energy reserves as he pierced through hundreds of dimensional membranes.

Until finally…

BOOOM!

He escaped back to Yomi!

He looked into the distance. The portal to the Chaos Plane was…

Gone.

Whatʼs more.

”Shit, these weak bastards are already dying?!”

He saw a golden werewolf tearing apart a massive limb from one of the Chaos Kings.

A vampiress laughed while punching another, ripping their head into pieces.

And a young human conjured immense cosmic power, raining down trillions of cosmic mythical weapons on all the Chaos Kings, overwhelming them.

”You bastard! What did you do to mom?!” Amiphossia screamed in fury.

”You will pay!” Ryo roared.

”Tsk, flies!” Abyssian snarled as he faced Kireinaʼs brave children. ”BEGONE!”

He clapped his hands and unleashed a gigantic shockwave of Spacetime Chaos Power, forcing them back.

But they refused to yield. They pushed forward relentlessly!

Because they were Kireinaʼs children, their resistance to chaos neared immunity.

”TSK! DIE!”

Abyssian intensified his assault. The two siblings were pushed even farther back.

Though strong, they couldnʼt compare to him.

Yet what else could they do when they had watched him hurl their mother trillions of light years away?

”Evan…! Wherever you are, give me strength…!”

Amiphossia clenched her teeth as her aura surged. Tears streamed from her eyes.

Then.

FLASH!

A pillar of light descended. Something emerged from a Dimensional Fragment.

”…?!”

Amiphossia gasped at what she saw.

A golden sword.

Surging with a heroic, familiar soul within.

”Amiphossiaaaaaaa!”

His voice rang from inside.

”EVAN?!”

Amiphossia raised her hand. The sword landed in her grasp.

She gripped it tightly!

From within, Evanʼs voice echoed, and his spirit manifested.

”Amiphossia!”

”Evan!”

In the midst of chaos, they embraced, tears flowing.

”W-Why are you a sword?!”

”Why are you a giant goddess now?!”

”Okay, itʼs not the time!”

”I agree…!”

Both turned and glared at Abyssian, who laughed.

”What are you even going to accomplish with one little sword—”

”Sword Soul Heart!”

”First Form – Radiant Awakening!”

RUMBLE!

”Ah.”

Abyssian had no idea Evan was no ordinary rusty sword.

He was Nanatsusaya no Tachi—the long-lost National Treasure of Japan, a seven-branched primordial divine blade once wielded by Yamato Takeru, the Legendary Demigod Hero and founder of Japan.

Forged by Izanagiʼs primordial cosmic divinity, it contained a fragment of his very soul turned into golden steel.

Thus.

SLAAASH!

”Guuaaaaaaggh?!”

Unable to evade in time due to his own arrogance, Abyssian paid a heavy price.

The attack cleaved straight through his chest, splitting his body.
