Epic Of Caterpillar

-----

Something no Outer God expected to happen happened. All of them had thought Kireina was within their grasp, that she was merely a little puppet dancing in the palm of their claws. But couldn't be farther from the truth. With a roar of space-shattering might, Kireina tore apart Shub-Niggurath to pieces and ate her completely. And no, there weren't any coming backs. Shub-Niggurath wasn't going to reveal she was fine later, or that Kireina fought some sort of doppelganger of her.

The real deal was dead and would remain death for eternity. Kireina's powers skyrocketed after devouring that Outer Goddess. The Avatar that she had sealed inside of her World Realm also died the moment her true body did, dissipating into a mist of darkness and completely disappearing from existence.

With the death of such a powerful Outer Goddess, the surrounding Universal Clusters within the confines of the Sea of Emptiness trembled. Many powerful beings who have meet or see the influence of Shub-Niggurath recoiled, realizing such a terrifying being was slain… By someone even more terrifying.

The power of the Void, Space, Time, and Chaos constantly coursed through her veins. But Kireina had little time to assess her gains. She swiftly shifted her gaze towards her daughter, who was still being brought away by hundreds of Outer Gods. And of course, Shub-Niggurath's children didn't take the death of their mother kindly.

"M-Mother?!"

"You killed her!"

"What?! How…. No, this is impossible!"

"How could our mother lose against her?! This doesn't make any sense…!"

"No, no… MOTHERRRR!"

As the screams of monstrous horror that the Lesser Outer Gods, children of Shub-Niggurath released from their many mouths, Kireina found herself surrounded by all of them. Their Void and Chaos Powers fluctuating across their bodies, ready to avenge their mother.

"DIEEE!"

With a scream of unified anger and wrath, and thirst for revenge, Kireina was bathed by thousands of beams of Void and Chaos. Kireina's appearance remained unchanging, the explosions reached her, with enough power to blow up an entire galaxy.

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

The titanic wormhole that connected the Spiritual Plane with Abyss continued glitching. Cracks spreading across the dimensional pillars, expanding the damage even more. However, Kireina was no longer there. The Outer Gods only watched at the miniature black hole provoked by their attacks, without finding her anywhere.

CRAAASH!

However, in less than a split second, Kireina repapeared behind the largest of the Outer Gods, three of her giant claws pierced his entire body. Miasmic blood and primordial essence leaked out of the tremendous wounds, the Outer God was filled with disbelief as it saw the slender and insectoid body of Kireina behind them.

"I won't let you stop me." Her voice reverberated through their minds, her aura surged from her body, swiftly transforming into countless of heads and maws, the Outer God tried to fight back, but it was too late.

CRUNCH!

His entire body disappeared, devoured in a single bite. The sound of her Aura and Soul devouring an Outer God with a single bite made the rest of the Outer Gods tremble in utter fear and disbelief. Their tentacles moved rapidly, trying to pierce her delicate-looking body!

"YOU BASTARD!"

However, their appendages were instantly cut down to pieces as Kireina's wings slashed them apart. And right after, she skipped through space again, appearing above one of them and devouring him whole again. And then another, and another, and another!

CRUNCH! CRUNCH! CRUNCH!

As she made her way towards Scarlet, a massacre was being unfolded. Pieces of Outer Gods were being splattered all over the place. Although they were the weakest of the bunch as Lesser Outer Gods born from Shub-Niggurath's body, they were still considerably strong! Yet Kireina devoured them like nothing.

The power that the Maxima Universe granted to her was incredible, she was surpassing several Realms above her by channeling the Universe's power the closer it was to her. And the Outer Gods quickly realized that swiftly rushing towards the sphere of the universe and conjuring a barrier of void, trying to isolate the universe from Kireina.

"You are not getting there! Not as long as I am here." Lucifer's voice echoed across the wormhole, as she wielded her Space Manipulating Abilities. "[Dimensional Walls]!"

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

Space compressed together into several invisible walls, stopping the Outer Gods from getting closer, without isolating the universe from Kireina's connection. The Outer Gods swiftly shifted their gazes at the avatar of the King of Hell. Beams of void and chaos clashing against his walls and defenses.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"She's not alone there either!"

Aura roared in unison with Lucifer, his powerful body transformed, expanding into a cosmos of stars and nebulas. Gigantic artificial stars were constantly being born inside of them, being fired at every foe nearby. Explosions of light and cosmic essence bombarded all of them.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Meanwhile, Kireina kept clawing and biting her way through the endless army of Outer Gods, rushing towards her daughter, who was in a state of distress and agony. The ritual circle was still in effect even now, and her body constantly screamed in pain.

"SCARLET! Wait for me! Mama is coming!"

As Kireina roared, more Outer Gods kept distracting her, grabbing her arms and legs and trying to drag her back, only for her furious eyes to unleash beams of cosmic light, vaporizing the lesser outer gods into smithereens while leaving the stronger ones full of bleeding holes.

"MOVE!"

However, more and more kept coming. They were billions after billions of Outer Gods from the Outer Plane, and as the portals kept being opened. They would continue pouring out until Kireina were to be overwhelmed and killed! She was already burning through all the cosmic energy she gained from eating Shub-Niggurath.

"Only a few more kilometers…! SCARLET…!!!"

Kireina kept roaring and furiously clawing her way through a sea of abominations. But they kept dragging her back more and more. Aura and Lucifer could only do so much either. She was struggling even after getting so far!

However, she wasn't alone either! Suddenly, she felt a powerful presence appear behind her. The power of a mighty Dao resonated, as a giant of crimson and azure color surged, resembling both a knight and a dragon!

"Wha…?!"

The titanic knight rushed towards the Outer Gods, swinging a gigantic halberd made of crimson blood, and a trident made of azure oceans. It flew using its six draconic wings, and with its three wyvern heads, it fired enormous beams of red, black, and green flames, blasting everything on its path.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Kireina quickly felt the presence of her family and friends within this giant. Their powers unified through the powerful Daos of Unification, Bonds, and Family, all born from within their Origins as they battled and grew together through all these hardships. Their powers and souls unified as one through not only the Daos though, but also the abilities Kireina herself taught to them.

"Kireina-sama, please move forwards!" Agatheina's voice echoed from the giant, who was surrounded by hundreds of Outer Gods.

"We will handle this! Go and get your kid!" Luminous roared, hundreds of swords of light surged from the titan.

"Please, save Scarlet!" Gaby cried. "Do it! We will be fine!"

"Mom, save her!" Valentia said.

"You can do this!" Aarae roared.

"Even if we have to fight a thousand of these bastards, as long as we are together…!" Alice said.

"We are invincible!" Little Alucard said.

"My kids and I will handle the weight! Get her, Kireina! Hurry!" Shadrach roared.

Kireina couldn't stop the tears flowing from her eyes, as she smiled and nodded, piercing through the space and drawing ever so closer to Scarlet.

"I'm lucky to have you with me, everyone!"
