Epic Of Caterpillar

-----

Since she was born that she knew that she was special, she was a selfish being that always believed that she was someone that would do great things, a being of unfathomable selfishness that nothing could even compare to her.

Not even Supreme Gods!

She was the embodiment of selfishness, she even surpassed Pride itself. And she came spider shaped. Her future and her past, did she knew what she truly was? Even now, she was uncertain of her future. Well, until something happened. Seeing Kireina die really made her realize something.

Even beings as powerful as her can die…

But there was also an uncertainty in her heart.

"There's no way Kireina would die so easily…"

The Spider Empress was thinking these many things as she was flying towards the outpost. She had figured out her powers were stronger than she thought they truly were, and thanks to her powerful space-defying spiderwebs, she was able to really put the gods into a desperate battle.

They committed many mistakes, and ultimately, it led to Kireina's demise. As simple as that… could fate really be so easy to change so Kireina could die? Was this all predestined to happen?

The spider was thinking this, as she felt warmth within her soul. Her origin core suddenly began to glow brighter, as the powers hidden within continued to emerge one after the other. Due to Kireina, her fate was destroyed and she died incredibly prematurely. But now that the Spider Empress was given a second chance as such a powerful entity… her inner powers were awakening and adjusting to her current power.

The spider empress could be said to be a figure as important as heroes- no, gods themselves. She was supposedly the one that would take Kireina's role as the devourer, but Kireina came, defying fate, killing, and eating her, and taking her place as the devourer.

The Spider Empress was selfish to no end, but even she didn't knew that she had such an insane potential, it felt almost unfair the many skills and powers she was unlocking, realizing her truest potential, she grew cocky, even more because the control of Hel over her mind and body was… null by now. She was simply negating it without Hel even realizing.

And her powers just kept increasing.

"Just… what is this?!"

The Spider Empress looked into the latest unlocked Skill.

[Primordial Threads of Antiquity]

"This is…!"

The moment she activated the Skill, threads didn't come out of her. What came out was completely different, it was something that reached the depths of her mind and soul, filling her with knowledge, cosmic knowledge, and many other things.

Within this knowledge, within these images… she saw things that nobody ever thought she could have seen before. Not even she expected such an outcome.

But this knowledge became memories, and she realized that she was someone important… someone incredibly important. Much like Kireina, she was someone that was once alive before being born, her soul was very special, as it didn't used to be a person in Genesis before becoming a spider.

"I see… I see!" She thought, as a wicked smile emerged in her lips, an eerie aura began to slowly emerge from within her entire body, as it spread like black smoke everywhere around her. She had suddenly learned something… that she should had not learned.

"To think the world is so small, Kireina!"

…

Meanwhile, within Hel's castle, she gathered with the strongest Necrotic Overlords in front of a large table, there was a magical holographic map showing the entirety of the Realm of Helheim in fine detail, and there were many red dots everywhere, these red dots were her foes, and the blue dots… all her units.

"Interesting, Kireina used her last powers before dying to teleport everybody away from her explosion range, that way she saved their lives." Said Hel. "But his also made it so everybody is separated… If we gather enough forces, shouldn't we be able to corner them and slay them? Pick them one by one… It wouldn't be a bad idea." She smiled maliciously.

"Amongst all of them, the most worrying of the bunch is the detestable Avatar of Life."

"Indeed, we have to kill her quickly, her power is the opposite of us, she can defy us easily and completely destroy us with her aura alone…"

"She's not somebody we can mess with easily either."

"What can we do to fight her though?"

Hel smiled to the words of her new allies from another dimension. She looked into the large portal leading to the Netherworld Plane, where Undead of all types continued to emerge.

"We can always use more reinforcements…" She said.

"Hm, only using our units won't be enough, and do you plan to just drag all our forces? We don't have endless soldiers."

"Indeed, you're getting a bit too cocky, Hel."

"Know your place."

"Geez! You guys are way too stupid sometimes, I mean my own powers! I am going to draw all the necrotic energy I need from your dimension and prepare an attack at her. Your forces have to keep Flora in place until I am ready." Said Hel while closing her arms. The entities from the Netherworld Plane lacked emotions, empathy, and personalities, so they were unable to understand her mannerisms sometimes.

"I see. So that was it…"

"Hm, what sort of power this is?"

"What is it?"

"I am just copying your powers. All those Grimoires you gifted to me, and the phylacteries are going to work together with the Dao of Necromancy, Undead, and more… I'll make a powerful Undead Construction…" She said. "In fact, I am already making it through my Phantom Death Clones and Skeleton Clones."

"Oh?"

The skeletons walked outside, looking at a gigantic rotting monstrosity, a tower of rotten flesh and bones slowly being built, assembled into what resembled an aberrant cannon like they had never seen before.

"Hm, you got quite the good ideas sometimes, I have to admit it."

"Indeed…"

"Fufu, of course! We'll crush Flora and the rest won't be so hard after that…" Laughed Hel.
