Epic Of Caterpillar

-----

The Young Emperor of the Blood Demon Kingdom was glancing in disbelief at the scene in front of him, a sword of flames had suddenly descended, turned into a giant dragon made of flames, and then started fighting against the impossibly strong Miasmic Aberrations, alongside five more allies, which were all gigantic and colorful Wyverns.

"Hey! Who are you trying to grab, brat?! Only Kireina-sama has the right to hold me!" 

He still could remember how the sword talked back to him after transforming into a giant blazing dragon, all these events were simply out of his world in terms of ridiculousness.

And how the sword just seamlessly turned into a giant blazing dragon!

FLUOOOOSH!

"Y-You're really a dragon?! But you were a sword some seconds ago!" He cried. 

"Yeah, we just made it in here! Looks like a few died though… My bad, the traffic was terrible up above." Joked the floating sword, now converted into a dragon made of flames. "Alright now, let's get this over with! Boys, girls, come down!"

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

Five other figures descended from the skies, reaching the ground, and generating huge tremors as they landed. Their enormous bodies easily towering above every monster and person in here!

They were like giant statues, yet they were alive, covered on scales, and blazing with different types of flames. The young Emperor glanced in disbelief at the creatures descend.

His army stepped back out of pure fear, the Emperor himself too. They didn't even give them a glance, the five giant Wyverns started attacking their foes right away.

"Things are about to get rougher." Shadrach said. "Stay behind for now, go back to your city. We'll take care of this!"

"Y-You… Who are you guys?!" Asked the young Blood Demon Emperor. "D-Don't tell me! Are you our Gods? We don't remember ever praying to dragon gods, but…!"

"No, we serve Kireina, the Supreme Goddess of Chaos and Demise." The Wyvern Overlord gave the young emperor a menacing smile. "Does that name ring any bells?"

"T-The what?!"

"The malevolent Supreme Goddess of Chaos?!"

"We've heard she had eaten and killed many Gods outside of our Realm!"

The Supreme Goddess of Chaos and Demise was a rather recent Title, but the creation of Supreme Gods was announced all across the World of Genesis through the System.

So, naturally, everyone and their mothers knew who Kireina was at this point! And hearing her name was already terrifying because of the bad reputation she had among all other Pantheons.

She even made a public statement with her voice once, that was heard by every single living being in Genesis that she was going to kill anybody that stood in her path…

So, naturally, mortals feared her as the devil herself, and thought the worst possible scenario right away.

All these people had their own System Status too, although it was now glitched because they were pulled away from Genesis…

"Wait, is she responsible for these monsters?" Asked the Emperor foolishly, only to earn the rage of Shadrach as his flames almost burned him alive.

"FOOL! Why would we help you if that was the case?" Shadrach angrily barked back. "And she's not all that bad either! She's a good boss! And she's nice and fair with people. She would only go out of her way to kill those that have threatened her or her family before… Don't worry, as long as you know your place, she'll never hurt you."

"Y-Yes…! Men, move back to the city!"

The Emperor quickly led the rest of the army to retreat inside the city, as they ran towards the city's underground, where the Ancient Ruins left by the Blood Progenitors was located.

In there, a Divine Array that had been already set up by the Ruins themselves protected the people that had taken refuge there.

A crimson barrier allowed everyone to enter, but any other monster would usually be unable to enter. It is as if the barrier only allowed those with Blood-Attribute Bloodlines to enter.

Or something else entirely…

"Emperor, you're back!"

The servant that had told him to go take refuge was happy to see him come back, although the brave face of the Emperor was now looking exhausted, as if he had lost twenty years of his life.

"W-What happened?"

"M-Monsters… giant dragons and wyverns… servants of the Supreme Goddess of Chaos…" 

The Emperor was murmuring to himself, still trying to process what was happening.

"E-Eh?"

The servant was shocked, looking at the depressed face of the Emperor. His ruler's pride and strength had been drained away in an instant.

"M-My Lord?"

He watched as the Emperor slowly made his way inside the ruins, looking for his family…

"Just what happened out there?"

Meanwhile, at the same time as this was happening, Shadrach and his family were fighting against the invading Miasmic Aberrations.

There were hundreds coming from several directions, but they were generally coming from the north. They carried large quantities of Miasmic Energies within them.

However, thanks to Kireina's Blessing, they had a strong resistance against Chaos and Miasma, and were able to tank their hits directly, while attacking with their claws, fangs, and tails.

The Wyverns had no normal arms, instead of arms they had wings. This could be thought to be a disadvantage for most people compared to Dragons, but their wings were shaped differently.

They resembled dragon arms; this was because they had evolved to the point their wings had become strong and muscular.

And among them all, the most muscular of them all, who took advantage of his wings enormous claws at the tip of each long finger that was interconnected by membranes, was Titus, the black-scaled son of Shadrach!

"Just like I learned from Ryo!" The largest and most muscular of all the Wyverns roared, his entire body exuding a mighty aura, his arms, attached to wings, became giant fists, as he unleashed a rain of black meteoric attacks against the nearest foes. "[Abyssal Flames Fist Meteor]!"

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
