Epic Of Caterpillar

-----

"UUURRGGHH…!"

The Eternal Darkness lamented as he found himself collapsing. His entire body was slowly falling apart into pieces.

Buddha's palm could extinguish all things and destroy Origin Cores with ease… If it wasn't because the Eternal Darkness was an Outer God whose Origin had been broken and replaced by an Outer Origin, he would have surely been instantly killed.

Outer Origins are special Origins, cultivated when a Cosmic Soul replaces their Origin and shatters it, turning their entire being into an Outer Origin!

With such power they can travel to any Worlds, Dimensions, Realms, Planes, and so on, although they will still face penalties, they won't be instantly rejected.

And of course, because he was strong enough to level whole galaxies… However, the penalties he was receiving by the [Dimensional Will] were strong enough to weaken him severely.

The Spiritual Plane was still a very powerful Dimension that interconnected countless worlds, because of its, despite being catalogued as a "Lower Dimension" it still held enough power to exert Penalties comparable to Middle Dimensions.

"GRAAAAGGH!"

The Outer God screamed in pain, the wound on his body could not regenerate no matter how hard he tried to reassemble his shapeless form.

Golden flames of Shakra burned through his interior, turning his blood, boiling miasmic chaos, into ashes with a mere touch…

And it wasn't as if he had all the time for himself either, there were two Supreme Gods he had been relentlessly fighting for quite a while.

"Incredible that this was even possible…" Aura said. "Kireina is truly a genius!"

"To use the power of an enraged Constellation against an Outer God…" Lucifer laughed out loud. "Yes! She is indeed a wonderful woman!"

Lucifer smiled, her blonde hair waving as a pair of angelic wings surged from her back, overflowing with cosmic light.

At the same time, Aura's shape kept growing larger, resembling an endless and shapeless cloud of stars and cosmic dust, with small planets and all sorts of colors.

The two swiftly attacked the severely wounded and near-death Outer God.

"Y-YOU BASTARDS…!" 

The Eternal Darkness quickly conjured his powerful Chaotic Magic, swirling tornadoes of chaos kept clashing against them.

However, he could barely keep himself conscious, the damage was too severe!

The Outer God considered escaping now, but if he dared to come back out without anything worthwhile, and wounded to this point, he was sure the other Outer Gods would predate on him.

"I can't escape now; I have to face them no matter what!" He thought. "Dammit, I am THIS close to get it!" 

The Eternal Darkness wasn't dumb though… Just like Kireina, he could be in many places at the same time.

And he was.

…

The Golden Aura Demon, controlled by Buddha, quickly flew down to touch the Crimson Aura Demon, that was being completely brutalized by a furious Luminous.

"YOU!"

Luminous was about to swipe his claws and stop him, but the Golden Aura Demon released a gigantic palm made out of golden threads out of his Aura, hitting Luminous on the chest and throwing him away.

"Begone!"

BAAAAMMM!!

Luminous rolled over the arid ground of Ravenfolt, quickly getting back up to pursue the two Demons, but it was already too late.

"Dammit! STOP!"

The giant dragon tried his best, but the two were already together again, their Souls combining into a single one.

Now that it has been revealed who was behind Beleth's powers, Buddha had nothing to hide anymore, deciding to step into the battle himself!

"I've had enough of these bugs." He said, he had hit the limits of his patience. "So I can Cultivate and become an Eternal Seer that can connect to all Dimensions and finally achieve True Nirvana, I will never stop. The Origin World will become my Eternal Domain!" 

Buddha unlike how Kireina ever thought of him, was a being who, on his path to seek Ascension and to Control his own Fate, decided to Ascend through all Dimensions.

He wanted to unify all the Fragments of the Origin World, and for that, he had to get Kireina out of his way and temporarily cooperate with the Usurpers of Destiny.

All so he could achieve True Nirvana!

If he can control all of Reality by becoming the only Ruler of the Origin World, then Fate will finally be within his own hands.

His endless torment over the inevitability to defy Fate has brought him this far… And he will not let any bug stand on his way to the path he has chosen. 

"My Soul brother, become one with me once more! And give me your strength! [Divine Dual Soul Fusion]!"

The Golden Aura Demon grabbed the Crimson Aura Demon and fused it into himself again. The two halves of Beleth once more converged into one.

However, this time, instead of going back to Beleth himself, they turned into something different!

This was Beleth's last trump card, the ability to recombine the two separated souls into a single, even stronger True Fusion between two souls, instead of simply being a recipient for two souls that were still separate from one another.

The Golden Aura of Harmony and the Crimson Aura of Wrath converged together, flaring around his new body, Beleth's mind was split between the two, but it was once more acquired as the two merged.

"So you two have been pushed this far, I see… Hohoho- Hm?!"

However, he quickly realized there was another being within him… Controlling him as if he were a puppet.

The demon had never known of Buddha being his sponsor before, because he technically wasn't, it was of the soul living within him.

"You… Who is controlling my body?!"

He panicked, trying to take him away!

"I am the Guardian of Mandala, the Seer of Fate, and the First Reincarnation." A voice of divinity spoke into his mind.

"Who…?! Get off my body, you filthy being of light!" Beleth manipulated his powers, trying to take Buddha out.

However, Buddha did not take a "no" as an answer.

"If you will not cooperate with me, then I might as well shatter your Will." Buddha's voice echoed. "I no longer have use for you, my Incarnation shall take over your body, Demon! [Eternal Nightmare]! [Thought Infection]!"

The Constellation mercilessly consumed Beleth's mind and will, infecting it with his own like a parasite worse than Kireina!

"GRAAAAHHHH!!!"

"Lord…!"

"Lord Satan…!!"

"Forgive… me…"

In utter agony, Beleth screamed as he transformed, his will… slowly fading away and becoming that of the Incarnation of Buddha, and Buddha himself!

"My true name… I remember it now."

The Demon's form changed, no longer looking like a muscular old man, but as a handsome golden-skinned and muscular young man, with long blonde hair, and sharp crimson eyes.

Crimson horns grew from his forehead, and a several halos opened behind him, mixing both the Harmony and Wrath together.

The Incarnation faced Kireina and Luminous with a smile, his golden skinned body covered on countless crimson tattoos, showing the Mandala showcasing his long spiritual journey, his millions of reincarnations.

"My true name… Nirvana Deus."

With a smile filled with blissfulness, he shed a tear, spreading his muscular arms into the skies, his Aura of Harmony finally absorbing the Demonic Powers Buddha sought for so long!

"At long last… Harmony and Wrath, unified as one!"

FLAAAASSHH!!
