Epic Of Caterpillar

-----

Hel angrily attacked the entire vessel with a gigantic wave of death miasma sea, splashing across the entire place with tremendous force, and making the vessel tremble constantly!

TRUUUMMM…!

"Aura, your turn!" Said Flora.

"Alright! Kireina, please resist!" Roared Aura. "Oh sacred cosmos, gather within my hand and obey my command, shall your eternal starlight brilliance cover this dark world with your bright mantle… Kosmos Veil!"

FLUOOOOSSSSHHH!

Suddenly, a beautiful spectacle was unleashed in front of everybody, Aura's powers gathered together to unleash a wonderful display of power! It was as if the stars of the entire Astral Road gathered within the palm of Aura's hand, and then they were unleashed like a veil of stars and cosmic power, spreading across the entire vessel, and covering it completely, the powerful attacks from Hel and the other Emperors were quickly blocked by this wondrous veil, which was being made out of the actual Astral Road!

"Damn Aura and Flora!" Roared Hel angrily, as her powers continued to clash against Aura's defensive move, the powerful death sea raged angrily the same as Hel, but Rimuru continued moving the vessel further and further closer to the realm of Helheim!

"We are getting closer, guuuuu!" Said Rimuru, as her sacred brilliance covered everything around her and continued to enhance the power of the vessel!

SPLAAAAASH!

Suddenly, the vessel generated two enormous and angelic wings, and the entire ship flew into the skies, ignoring the powerful gravity force of the ocean of death temporarily, finally carrying the supreme gods into the Realm of Helheim! Kireina's allies were quickly teleported inside her divine realm by her, as Kireina's dimensional stomach continued to shatter and crack…

"Ungh…! R-Rimuru… I trust you…" Muttered Kireina.

Kireina looked at Rimuru with a gentle smile, as she felt the complete interior of her very being crack apart… whatever was happening to her, it would not be good. She had to entrust the mission to continue to someone, and Rimuru was the most capable of everybody else.

Crack… crack!

"K-Kireina?!" Asked Rimuru, as Kireina gritted her teeth.

Kireina looked at her beloved wife and kissed her forehead, as she felt that her entire being was fragmenting apart. Despite having stopped the powerful energies from clashing against the supreme gods, whatever was breaking apart her dimensional stomach was incredibly strong… this power was not something she could hold into for longer…

"I am leaving the rest up to you." Kireina said, as an enormous amount of darkness, death, and chaos emerged from within Kireina, breaking her dimensional stomach and impacting her entire soul in the process, her Origin Core was also shattered into pieces, and her entire body exploded.

The darkness, death, and chaos unleashed from Kireina's dimensional stomach which was cracking and fragmenting apart was enormous, making everything tremble tremendously! Hel and the Emperors looked at the distance, as the Supreme Goddess of Death seemed to have managed to laugh at the end!

"Hahahah! DIE, KIREINA!"

However, as they reached the Realm of Helheim, Rimuru and the other Supreme Gods suddenly were teleported away from Kireina, as Rimuru cried as she saw Kireina moving further and further away from her as she was forcefully teleported away by her…

"No…! K-Kireina…! KIREINAAAAAAAA!" Rimuru cried Kireina's name, extending her hand towards her.

"Take care." Said Kireina.

BOOOOOOOMMMM!!!

Without anybody she could hurt, Kireina began to fall into pieces, as her soul, Origin Core, and anything that made her herself fragmented apart… The gigantic explosion spread across Helheim, taking apart an enormous chunk of it, and it even generated a black hole which Hel had not expected, her entire Realm took a massive amount of damage, as Hel gritted her teeth, seeing her precious world being destroyed by that damn Kireina really enraged her…

"K-Kireina, you bitch! You can't just die without messing things?!" She cried in anger…

…

When Rimuru opened her eyes, what greeted her was a world of darkness and death. The landscape was cold and dry, and made almost completely out of dark purple, black, and gray stone. The air and the atmosphere was heavy, and there was fog everywhere. The sky was pitch black, and the moon of Genesis was very close by.

"Hahh… I fell unconscious?" Wondered Rimuru, slowly standing up and looking around herself, she was… alone.

"Eh? Where are everyone else?! T-The Supreme Gods are not here? Flora? Aura? Lucifer? System Master? …Masta?" Rimuru looked around, without finding anybody. And then, a memory crossed her mind.

She remembered just what had happened with Kireina, how she exploded against an energy that was way too much, that not even she could completely devour in time, in fact, her dimensional stomach exploded, without giving her the power to digest such highly volatile energies in time, she ended exploding…

Rimuru saw as her beloved wife shattered, her body vaporized, her soul fragmented into pieces, and her origin core shattered apart, Kireina gave her the mission, a mission to continue with the power Supreme Gods…

Rimuru didn't knew what happened to her, in one second she was just… everything happened so fast. She felt so nervous, alone, she looked around desperately, looking down into her own reflection over a small pond of black water…

"K-Kireina…"

She covered her face as she began to cry, tears began to flow out of her colorful eyes, as she didn't knew what to even think.

Did Kireina really die?

Was this really… the end?

How could everything have happened so fast?

Rimuru began to remember all the memories she had with Kireina, since the beginning of their journey… Kireina was always there for her, there was not a single day where she wasn't with her, cuddling with her, being hugged by her, and loved by her…

"Kireina… Masta…" She cried.

"Popi…?"

However, she suddenly heard the voice of a little summon.

"Eh? Ah… Popi!"

A small blue slime emerged before her, looking at her confusedly. And then, Rimuru realized her entire Divine Realm was oddly… enormous.

"W-What the…? This is Masta… Masta's Divine Realm was transferred into mine?! E-Everyone is here…!" She muttered. "But…"

No matter how much she looked, there was no clone of Kireina, nowhere.

It felt as if her entire existence, and even her clones, were all erased.
