Epic Of Caterpillar

-----

"The Ocean's Tear… Heheheh… HAHAHAHA! IT'S MINE! IT'S MINE AT LONG LAST, FOOLISH POSEIDON!"

TRUUUUUMMMMM…!

The enormous body of Oceanus started to overflow with blue and black energies, as he grabbed the jewel floating right in front of him, quickly absorbing it into himself!

RUMBLE!

The seas, which had calmed themselves after Faylen and Yggdrantia defeated the last Titanic Miasmic Aberration, had suddenly become even more chaotic than before out of nowhere.

And they were all responding to him, the titan sitting between the Archaea Archipelago and the Matanui Island!

"How long has it been, you damn Olympian?" Laughed Oceanus, his powers constantly growing larger and larger. "I told you wouldn't be defeat me, I told the same thing to your damn brother, that you wouldn't be able to kill me so easily! You fool! YOU ABSOLUTE STUPID FOOL! GAHAHAHAHA!"

FLUOOOOSH!

The Atlantean Seas kept swirling and spinning around his entire body, constantly fusing with him, his form growing larger and regaining his youthfulness, revealing the appearance of a giant, muscular, and handsome middle-aged man with a long blue beard and long sapphire-colored hair.

His eyes shining with golden light, his muscular, brown-skinned body covered on countless blue tattoos depicting the waving seas of the ocean and many other sea life!

RUMBLE!

SPLAAAAAASSSHHH!!!

The seas kept going crazy, following his every order, Valentia and Scarlet could only watch in utter disbelief at what was happening!

"Scarlet, quickly put these people inside your Divine Realm!" Valentia cried.

"Okay! [Teleport]!" Scarlet nodded, the entire city teleporting inside of her Divine Realm in a split of a second.

TRUUUMM…!

Seconds before an enormous fist made of water were to crush the area where Matanui was, causing the entire Realm of Atlantis to tremble!

BOOOOOOMMMM!!!

"SCARLET!"

Valentia rushed to help her little sister, grabbing her, - and saving her from drowning in the turbulent seas. Hugging her tightly with her body and protecting the little girl with her armor of black scales.

SPLAAAASSSSHHH!! RUMBLE!

She kept swimming away rapidly, controlling some of the seas, but realizing the water wasn't responding to her! It all became an absolute authority that only Oceanus could control.

"I'll take care of the vermin that has been living over my body, the parasites that nobody needs." Oceanus spoke with a merciless voice, quickly noticing Matanui was no more, and setting his glance into the Archaea Archipelago. "BEGONE!"

TRUUUMMM…!

Another gigantic fist of oceanic water emerged right above the capital, Aarae and Ervin looked at the scene in utter disbelief, as Ervin rushed towards Aarae as fast as he could!

"AARAE!!!"

Aarae waved her hand, quickly lifting the entire capital and teleporting it inside her Divine Domain with all the magic she could to do it as fast as possible, second before the almighty fist were to take everything down!

SPLAAAAAASSSSHHHH!!! 

"Urgh…!" Aarae tried to fight back against the seas wrapping around her entire body as she tried to swim away, but her strength was failing her, the seas were draining away her physical strenght as they dragged her deeper and deeper.

She couldn't drown, but the enormous pressure was slowly beginning to make her entire body hurt! She summoned an armor over her body, but even then, it hurt!

"Argh…! No…! I can't fight back…! The seas… they're obeying a single will now?!" Aarae thought as her mind began to feel dizzy. "No…! E-Er… vin…!"

"AARAE!"

Ervin, however, quickly descended through the seas like a torpedo, reaching his wife and grasping her hands as Aarae's eyes cried in happiness to find him.

FLAAASH!

At lightning speed, Ervin literally pierced the seas with his trident, catching her and then lifting her up into his horse-like lower half, letting her ride him. A privilege that centaurs only gave to their most beloved partners.

"E-Ervin!" Aarae muttered.

"We'll get out of here!" Ervin roared, rushing upwards now.

He was constantly fighting the enormous pressures and the swirling whirlpools trying to push them deeper, Aarae gritted her teeth tightly, waving her hand and her staff as she forcefully opened the oceans!

The blue jewel she had found, which she was holding in one of her hands, was glowing brightly as she willed the seas to move, the two Absolute Wills controlling the Ocean clashed against one another, letting Aarae create an opening for them to escape!

FLUOOOSH!

"Now, Ervin!" 

"Leave it to me!"

Ervin roared with all his might, destroying the endless sea itself and piercing through it, finally reaching the surface, and flying high enough for the water to not catch them so easily.

BOOOOOMMMM!!!

The two emerged out of the ocean as they flew into the skies, Oceanus paid no mind to them as he was very far away to notice them too well.

And he wasn't in the right state of mind either… His mind had been fragmented and reconstructed over an enormously long period of time.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he wasn't even the same Oceanus as before, but a twisted version of himself born after his death…

"GAHAHAHA! DIE, YOU PARASITES!"

Oceanus celebrated their deaths, the Ocean Tear jewel he had acquired fusing into his chest, shining brightly and imbuing him with Spiritual Divine Powers.

"Now, where are you, POSEIDON?!" Laughed Oceanus. "Did you truly thought I would had died?! After you and your damned brothers killed my family?! THIS IS IT! MY TIME FOR REVENGE IS FINALLY HERE…!"

Oceanus laughed monstrously as a gigantic pirate ship drew closer, Poseidon and Gaby on top, alongside the rest of the Ocean Gods, Sapphirine, and Gubo.

"H-How is he here?! He's supposed to be dead! We used his body to create Atlantis eons ago! And he… somehow acquired one of the Ocean's Tear Fragments?! Something not even I could get my hands into after all this time!" Poseidon cried in frustration. "Have I been set up by him?! This whole time… Was I dancing on the palms of his hand?!"

"Oi, are you going to explain me what the heck is going on or are you going to keep crying like a baby about it?" Gaby asked while showing her sharp teeth at Poseidon. "I have little patience, old man…" Her hand quickly grabbing his head.

"O-OKAY! Stop grabbing my head like that!" Poseidon felt completely ashamed and terrified.
