Epic Of Caterpillar

FLAAASH!

As Kireina was led towards the city's underground, she felt the presence of something, something she was seeking!

"After I saw Satan's memories, I realized why he was targeting Ravenfolt." Kireina explained. "Apparently, this Realm is much more mysterious than we originally thought."

"Is it?" Agatheina was confused.

"I am not really sure what is so special about this place- Ah!" Mammon was quickly taken aback by the aura emanating from below.

"This scent of such an exquisite blood energy essence…" Agatheina was also shaken. "It smells so good down there~!"

"W-We're here… The people hiding in here have already been evacuated." King Lionel said, showing Kireina, Agatheina, and Mammon what he had been hiding.

Kireina reached the underground first, being surprised by the huge, abandoned ruins in there. They were made out of crimson and black stones, carved with countless runes and drawings of all kinds.

The scent of both blood and darkness attributes exuded from the ruins, even as ruined and crumbled apart as they were, they still held a divine power within… or something even greater.

"From what we've researched, this is one of the Ruins of the Blood Progenitors, Ancient Beings that had somehow accidentally arrived on the World of Genesis… From another." The King explained. "My researchers said that based on the information they have read in the writings on the walls and the tablets left behind, this world was known as Abyss, a world of Eternal night, where the Ancient Vampires existed!"

"Ancient Vampires?!" Agatheina asked. "I thought I was the first Vampire… So there are many more outside of Genesis?"

"Indeed, you're a special type of Vampire that created her own Vampiric lineage from scratch." Kireina smiled. "Which is incredible on its own, however, from what I've learned from Frank, there are large Families in the Universe, one of them is the Vampire Family, governing countless worlds. However… these other Vampires seem completely unrelated to them too."

"…" Mammon was thinking about something, he seemed to know about this. "Abyss… That name… Wait, don't tell me…?! Isn't that world… the world formed from a Fragment of the Primordial Origin World's Night and Day?! It held another name before, Celes! However, it became Abyss when… the Blood God appeared."

"The Blood God, so you know something, Archdemon Mammon?" The King wondered curiously. "These Ruins… From what we investigated, the visitors from this World named Abyss used the resources of Ravenfolt to recreate a gate that could bring them back home. In the way, they also became the Ancestors of us the Blood Beast Demons and the Blood Demons. They created us from lesser and non-intelligent beings!"

"So they were even stronger than the run-of-the-mill Genesis God?" Kireina wondered, crossing her arms. "I see… From what I remember from Satan's memories I stole, he wanted a fragment of this Gate because of another motive other than simply because of the Vampires, it was because apparently, the "Primordial Child of Azathoth" is in there, an incredibly powerful soul the Archdemons, Outer Gods, and Overseers were all cooperating to acquire."

"A Primordial Child?!" Mammon was surprised. "Like you, Kireina?!"

"Yeah…" Kireina nodded. "And if that's possible, then these bastards are actively aiming at us the children of the Primordials. Azathoth is the strangest of them all, I barely know much about him, but I am well aware that this Universe is like his own Dream as well, he's a large pillar of the entire Creation. Of course, The One and Khaos also work together with him… But it might be possible that he's stronger than them."

"Azathoth…" Mammon said. "I am familiar enough with that name. The Slumbering Horror, the Foolish Dreamer, the Oldest Dream… He has many names. His Nightmares gave birth to the Outer Plane, the Sea of Void, and the Chaotic Planes. It is where the Outer Gods were born too. But unlike them, his true child is much different. They hold a true fragment of his soul and powers, a real, actual child, and not an "off-shoot" born out of his powers alone. It could potentially be the strongest Primordial Child of all, e-even you…"

"Huh, even me? We'll have to see that!" Kireina smiled. "I fear we might have to grab that kid before those bastards get to him first… But for now, how did these Blood Progenitors get back to Abyss, lion guy?"

"M-My name is Lionel, madam…" The King sighed. "And, well, according to what we've gathered, it is speculated they created the Portal after thousands of years of trying and combining divine treasures with their powers. A door made of crimson blood crystals. Once the door was created, they and their ancient kingdoms contacted the Blood God, who guided them into creation the Dimensional Door to Abyss, where they were finally able to return to their World…"

"So what happened to the rest of everything?" Asked Kireina.

"We assume their followers fragmented the portal, because that's their Masters' last command, before sealing them into three different ruins. This is only one of them! But we think we are the only ones that have found a fragment!" The King seemed quite sure of that. 

"Hmm, finding the other two won't be easy I guess." Kireina sighed. "This Abyss World, if its truly made from a big fragment of the Origin World's Night and Day, then it must also be filled with Primordial and Cosmic Energies… I bet it would be a nice meal."

"S-Surely, you're not planning to…?" The King asked in horror. "But I thought only the evil demons and outer gods wanted that?!"

"Hm? What about it? I can do whatever I want." Kireina smiled. "I'll simply plunder away all the things they want right before their noses!" Kireina entered the ruins and saw it, the enormous red crystal floating in midair, encapsulated on a dimensional bubble. "And the First Fragment of the Dimensional Gate to Abyss is mine."

She touched it, as the Bubble immediately floated towards her, the entire array sealing it broke apart instantly, she didn't even need to do anything, it felt as if the Fragment had accepted her.

"It shines with such a strong aura of power…" Agatheina felt immensely attracted with this world. "A World of Vampires… I bet it must be wonderful!"

"Yeah, and whoever is this child of Azathoth… We can't let them be captured by these bastards." She sighed. "I guess I know what we'll be doing after this is done with." Kireina had already planned it.
