Epic Of Caterpillar

-----

Within the Realm of Death, Helheim, several Chaotic Rifts, Chaos Dungeons, and Necrotic Graves emerged one after another, while a large crack in space had been opened some time ago, leading to a completely strange and dead-filled plane.

The entities that emerged from this rift walked through the Realm and glanced at the madness occur around them, yet their presences were so overwhelming that everything around them stopped moving.

These were beings from another Plane… the Netherworld Plane!

They were simply named Supreme Lords of Death, and were the messengers of the Hegemonies of Death, Nether, Darkness, and Pestilence within the Netherworld Plane, entities whose power was incredible… outstanding, even.

They had noticed the connection from Genesis due to the new Era coming, as they used this opportunity to finally decide to conquer and spread death across this world of the living.

The two Supreme Lords of Death walked across the land of the death of this world, and found it quite fine for a lesser follower from another world…

They reached an immense dark tower as the gates opened.

"Please, enter. I've been waiting for you for so long…"

The two Supreme Lords of Death glanced at each other's skull faces, entering the tower afterwards.

Their empty eyes glowed with phantasmal auras of death, as their powerful Necrotic Death Cores flashed with immense quantities of Necrotic Essence…

Their dark clothes and armor were reinforced with countless Necrotic Runes, their power was out of this world… They clearly surpassed Great Gods!

They flew into the tower and reached the last floor above by skipping the stairs and hovering upwards.

What greeted them was a young girl with sharp crimson-red eyes, long silvery-white hair, and a black dress sitting over a throne. At her side, there was an even younger girl with long blonde hair, pale-white skin, and crimson-red eyes wearing a very long and beautiful maid outfit. She seemed impacted after she saw the Supreme Lords of Death, losing her breath. If she wasn't an Undead herself, she would had fallen dead already…

"Hel, our masters are pleased with your contribution to the expansion of Death across all the Cosmos. We have come to bring you the reward you've requested."

"Here, take it with care."

One of the skull-face Lords of Death gave the young girl sitting in a throne, Hel, the Great Goddess of Death, a strange fruit.

It was shaped like the face of an agonizing man, it was black, and emanated a strange and pungent smell. As if it were rotten.

"A Necrotic Fruit of Rotten Nirvana as you requested."

Helheim smiled maliciously.

"Haha… Hahahaha! I got it! Finally!"

She quickly lunged the fruit into her mouth, crunched it with her jaws and swallowed it completely.

"Oh, she was ready already…"

"We welcome you in our Clan, Hel of Helheim! Now, let's the Necrotic Ritual begin…"

CLASH!

The two Supreme Lords of Death hit the ground with their dark weapons as several Necrotic circles resembling magic, but way more obscure, malefic, and death-energy-driven emerged around Helheim, as she felt sickly.

The girl at her side walked away from the scene and looked at the entire thing within a corner of the vast hall…

Her eyes locked into the girl that has keeping her prisoner here since those men from the Ollathir Kingdom sacrificed her…

It hasn't been a single day since she hasn't thought about her brother, and how he might be…

She gripped her hands timidly and fearfully, as she looked with horror at what the little and insane girl that had made her into a plaything was transforming!

CRASH! CRASH! CRAAAAASSSH!

Her entire body began to bulge like a meatball, exploding into nether juices that fueled the deathly runic circle!

"UUGGRRAAAAAGGH…! GGRRUUUUAAAAAAAAGGH..!"

She began to scream in agony as unprecedented changes occurred to her whole being…

"Abandon the flesh and welcome the bone."

"Abandon humanity and welcome insanity."

"Become one with death."

"And you shall be enlightened of the greater darkness beyond the cosmos."

"In death is where the true end of all things resides."

"But is also not an end, but a new beginning."

"Rise!"

"Rise!

"Rise and come to us!"

"Move and crawl! Your bones are with you, but your flesh is no more!"

"Embrace your phantasmal soul!"

"Materialize your necrotic death core!"

"Come forward!"

"Come forward!"

The two Supreme Lords of Death chanted an eerie-sounding incantation as Hel underwent changes, she never thought possible for her!

Her flesh was consumed into necrotic energy by the runes, which fueled her power even further!

"Hahahha…! HAHAHAHAHA! I am surpassing it! At long last!"

In within her agony, she laughed! She tore apart her own skin and flesh, her eyes popped out of her sockets, her hair was the only thing that remained as she was but bones!

The young Zombie Maid girl trembled in the corner as she saw this horrendous sight!

She covered her face as she began to recall her brother to calm her terrified heart!

And within the runic formation… Hel has been reborn.

FLASH!

An explosion of phantasmal necrotic power surged from her, covering the entire Realm, and even covering the world!

The two Supreme Lords of Death were fascinated!

"Impressive, the results are better than expected…"

"She has become more than just us. Indeed… Indeed!"

Hel stood up; her body's flesh was sacrificed so she could reach he next stage and evolve.

She was but a little skeleton, but within her, an enormous flame of phantasmal power came from.

Her enormous crystal glowed with furious gleaming blight, as her eyes shone with phantasmal will-o-wisps!

These energies gathered around her body as they materialized into "flesh" and clothes…

Her former appearance came back to her, but perhaps, changed.

She was now definitely taller, and more beautiful, but also, more spectral than ever before.

Her hair flowed freely like an ocean of silver light, as her dark and red dress generated a deathly presence, spirits all around her gathered and rotated around her, countless souls fused with her willingly.

Her eyes flashed with phantasmal blue flames, as an eerie gleam of crimson-red light came from them!

Hel laughed maliciously!

"Hahahahah! Hahahahah! I DID IT! COME FORWARD, MY SOULS!"

The necrotic rivers of souls all around the realm flew towards her, fusing with her phantom soul and enhancing her power continuously!

The Supreme Lords of Death were fascinated.

"She's growing even stronger?!"

"She was really the chosen one…"

TRUUUUMMMM!

Suddenly the entire Realm- no, a large chunk of the world of Genesis was suddenly encompassed into a…

SUPREME DOMAIN!

RUMBLE!

The world shook one more, a fragment that was missing within this Era had finally came. The Era of Chaos and Death had finally completely begun now!

Across the entire world, there has never been such a strong feeling of dread as ever before…

Of dread and death!

Ding!

[Congratulations to Hel, for ascending into the [Supreme Goddess of Death and the End]!]

The two Supreme Lords of Death looked at Hel's transformation with awe and disbelief.

"She… She has become a Necrotic Hegemony Seed!"

"It is a seed, indeed!"

Hel finally rested as she stood up over the floor and looked at her two guests.

"Thank you very much for your aid, my lords. I will make sure to fulfill the will of Eternal Death that our master's dream of through their undying existences." Said Hel.

"You seem very passionate."

"You already have my thumbs up, new Seed."

"Fufu, you're exaggerating, my lords!" Hel laughed maliciously.

As if the world could not shake enough, it shook once more. What happened now was even more insane.

Right after Kireina became a Supreme Goddess… another Great Goddess, one that has been planning her ascendance this whole time… ascended into a Supreme too!

The World's Will and the other Supreme Gods were all the more surprised, this one was one they didn't truly expected as much…

A complete opposite of the Supreme Goddess of Life and Origin, to boot!

What kind of insane events were now transpiring across all realms? It seemed as if the entire world had become another now…

Everything was changing so fast! Chaos, Death, Dreams, Illusions, and more were all flourishing once and for all, no longer being rare attributes, but becoming the most abundant there were!

FLAAAAAASSSSSHHH!

The shockwave of death crossed through all Realms in the world though, countless unprotected mortals died instantly, and were converted into Undead right away.

With just her ascendance, Hel wiped out most of the wild mortals from existence?! And they became all Undead…

However, that was only 60% of the population.

When the other Gods noticed this, they released their supreme domains and protected several realms.

But those that couldn't be protected… became Undead Realms… and were below the influence of Hel!

A gathering of three Gods within the Supreme Divine Realm of Kireina happened right at this moment.

Three Supreme Gods were here, their presences made the entire divine realm dance with gigantic auras.

The three supreme gods knew what just happened.

"Hel… She became a Supreme Goddess?! Now that's not something I expected…" said the Supreme Goddess of Life and Origin.

"Hmm… I've heard that she was doing something around. But I never expected to go as far as colluding with beings from another Plane. Even us don't know all the secrets of the world. She was secluded into her Realm too, and her powerful divinity of death was not something we could handle completely even as she was a Great Goddess… Now, even less." Said the Supreme God of Star Oceans.

"You're telling that she can beat you two!?" asked Kireina.

"No… We don't mean that." Sighed the Supreme Goddess of Life and Origin.

"It's just hard to handle and inconvenient. In this Chaotic Era, we cannot waste energy pointlessly either…" said the Supreme God of Star Ocean.

"I see. So what's your plan now? I honestly didn't had any idea I would cause all of this…" said Kireina.

"No, it's good that it happened, it means that you're doing great, Kireina." Said the Supreme God of Star Ocean.

"Wait, you're telling me that this is why the System Master wanted me?" asked Kireina.

"Indeed. Your power is breaking apart Fate and bringing fort the chaotic era, the era that the world's will fears the most. After all, it is the era where she will be the weakest." Said the Supreme Goddess of Life and Origin.

"I see… Hm, but I am not even strong enough to fight her yet." Said Kireina, sighing.

"And I will not help you either… I don't have any intentions of aiding you in these regards. I am standing here as a neutral observer." Said the Supreme Goddess of Life and Origin.

"Sigh… She's always like that, just ignore her." Said the Supreme God of Star Ocean.

"You seem to know her pretty well…" said Kireina, raising an eyebrow.
