Epic Of Caterpillar

-----

BOOOM!

With an explosion of crimson light, the Outer Gods were taken care by Arthur and his daughter, only for dozens to surround them again, and several more to rush towards the nearest cities, attracted by the scent of fresh, delicious souls to devour and absorb.

"You're powerful, but our Realm has trillions of us, endlessly being born from the Shadows of Azathoth!"

"We are eternal, we are the Void itself!"

"We will consume it all, everything comes from the void, and it shall return to the void!"

All the Outer Gods rapidly surrounded Arthur and Alice, unleashing barrages of Void Beams and tentacles enchanted with Void to become incredibly tough, and capable of breaking through defenses.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Arthur conjured a barrier of Light, Poison, and Blood together, further enchanted with his Cosmic Blood Aura, a Lifeblood Jewel was growing brightly within his internal Blood Core, giving him more power.

"[Unholy Blood Venom Hydra Fortress]"

A combination of Skills and techniques was conjured, as a giant fortress made out of his own aura, of gold, purple, and red color materialized, countless hydra heads started picking up the Outer Gods one after another, deflecting their attacks and then biting their bodies, tearing apart their hard flesh.

The powerful venom Arthur could secrete was strong enough to paralyze Outer Gods even slightly, even if for a couple of seconds, giving him enough time to prepare himself to unleash his true powers.

Crack, crack…!

The fortress was rapidly being worn down even as it attacked back, Alice seemed slightly worried.

"Dad, the fortress won't hold for much longer!"

Alice noticed her father was gathering all his energies into his golden claws, his body size, of roughly twenty meters, was growing larger and larger, more muscular, and with harder shells.

"Wait there honey, charge your strongest abilities, we're going ham! Can you jump over my back?"

"Sure?"

"Alright… ORRAAAH!"

With a furious roar, Arthur's transformation was completed now resembling a gigantic, humanoid insectoid titan made of pure gold, with several red and blue jewels embedded into his body.

His Cosmic Aura became even more powerful, his muscles tightening and tensing up, his entire blood rushing around his body, he was using Lifeblood Exceed as well.

"Dad, is that…?!"

"Lifeblood Exceed, yeah," Arthur nodded. "It works differently when you combine it with a transformation. I can achieve an even greater form this way!"

"Amazing!" Alice clapped. "I guess I'll have to do my best too! [Lifeblood Exceed: Level 2]!"

FLUOSH!

Alice's entire body overflowed with power, her size increased, and her beast-like appearance was enhanced even further, making her resemble a golden cat goddess.

Crack, crack…!

"Wait for it…"

CRASH!

The fortress crumbled into pieces.

"Now!"

Arthur charged forward with his daughter on top of his huge body, rushing through the first thing he saw, an Outer God readying a myriad of Void Beams and firing them at them!

"DIE!"

CLAAASH!

"G-Guh?!"

Before the Outer God could do anything though, Arthur had already pierced through his entire body, leaving behind a gigantic hole through it.

Miasmic, black-colored blood kept pouring out of the wound, the Outer God tried to recover the wound, only for a festering, holy venom to suddenly turn his blood into ashes, and so his insides.

"W-What is this?! UAARGH!"

With an agonizing scream, the Outer God fell to the ground below, his entire body squirming as it began to turn into ashes, the venom slowly piercing his insides.

Arthur continued his charge, piercing the bodies of the Outer Gods near, resembling a golden blur of light as he moved at lightning speed, piercing one after another!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

But that wasn't all, as Alice unleashed a barrage of attacks using her claws, complementing her father's charge attack, cutting through the Outer Gods, as explosions of golden, purple, and crimson flames engulfed their foes.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The Outer Gods rapidly started falling down like flies! Yog-

Sothoth noticed the massacre of his servants even as he was above the barrier, shocked to realize that even Noah's friends were this powerful.

"How strong are they?! Did I miscalculate something? To be able to easily kill Outer Gods…! Are they at the same level as that Kireina, perhaps?!"

And what he meant wasn't if they were at the same level of power, but that they had something, an ability, or perhaps a combination of them, that made them surpass the strength of their current rank and go even beyond that.

"To kill you Outer God bastards, we had to create new techniques and strategies," Noah answered with a cold and domineering expression on his face. "We've been killing your kind for thousands of years, did you truly expect us to not be prepared to slaughter as many as you came?"

"BASTARD!"

Yog-Sothoth could not accept such insolence from a mere vampire, his entire door-shaped body trembling, as Noah noticed even more doors opening, appearing around the larger one.

From within these doors, giant Eyes, Tentacles, and Hands made of Abyssal Void Shadows surged.

"That's…?"

"This is part of my power, Noah! I am Yog-Sothoth, the Door of the Outer Void Realm!" laughed the Ancient Outer God. "I naturally possess the ability to summon the very Shadow of Azathoth, and its powers! Do you think you can take them on now?!"

BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!

A barrage of countless blows rushed towards Noah, piercing spear-like tentacle attacks, might fists that could shatter space itself, and slashing attacks from claws made of materialized void.

Noah's barrier shattered into pieces, the many layers he had created becoming useless against the absolute power of an Ancient Outer God.

"Hahahah! You resist very well, I have to admit you're strong, but this is as far as you'll go!" Yog-Sothoth laughed. "You've showed me everything you can offer already, and you're NOTHING at the end!"

"Nothing you say?" Noah remained calm. "I don't think that's something someone that has lost half their body should say."

"What did you- HUH?!"

CRAAASH!

Before Yog-Sothoth could even realize, Noah's entire Blood Sea combined with Excalibur, and then his own Cosmic Aura, materializing into gigantic spear and piercing through half of his body, reducing it to smithereens!

"W-Wha…?!"

The wounds suddenly flared with crimson blood flames, exploding at the same time.

BOOOM!
