Epic Of Caterpillar

Chapter 1985 The Mysterious Evil Spirit, Obsidian

-----

The Black Crystal Chains that had sealed Lazuli back then, emerged out of Tundra's body itself! Unknown to everyone, she had already become the vessel for an entity nobody knew about this entire time!

The Gods in the hall immediately panicked, many rushing to stop her, only for the black crystal chains to wrap around their bodies, crystalizing them into black statues one after another!

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

"Don't attack her recklessly!" Uru roared, summoning his Divine Frost Axe. "Don't charge at her foolishly! You'll get turned into crystals!"

"Who are you?! Reveal your true identity! How dare you possess my daughter's body!" Njord was pissed off for the first time in many years, furiously roaring.

The Titan stood up and rushed towards Tundra, summoning a huge Divine Harpoon that channeled his Divinity of Fishing to the utmost degree.

"RAAAAH!"

CLAAAASH!

However, his powerful, mighty blow concentrating the power of a Great God almost at its peak was easily blocked by several chains, shaping themselves into a shield.

"Wha…?!"

Njord was taken aback by the tremendously hard chains made into a shield, as he felt a strange, dark spiritual energy exuding from them!

"Njord, watch out!"

Skadi ran towards her husband as fast as possible, while Njord was incapable of reacting before his legs were beginning to be wrapped in the black chains, and then, the rest of his body quickly crystalized, leaving him like a huge, black crystal statue.

"NOOO!"

Her wife screamed, tears rushing from her eyes, she gritted her teeth as the Frost Titaness of Eternal Winter imbued her Divinity into her spear.

"HYAAAAH!"

With a furious roar and her entire body overflowing with her Pseudo Supreme Divinity, she unleashed a barrage of hundreds of piercing spear strikes against Tundra and whatever was possessing her.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!

Alongside each of her blows came a blizzard of tremendous icy winds, pushing her foe away as the two ended jumping off the Frost Castle, facing off in the middle of the skies as they fell to the floor below.

"How dare you…!" Skadi roared. "Just who are you?! How dare you do this to us?! REVEAL YOUR IDENTITY! [Divine Eternal Winter: Fimbulwinter]!"

Channeling most of her Divine Energy on the spot, Skadi unleashed a devastating Divine Technique at the same level as some of the weakest techniques that Supreme Gods could wield, overwhelming Tundra and the one possessing her, as both fell from the skies, hitting the floor as everything around them froze.

CRAAAAASSSH! RUMBLE!

"Haha… HAHAHA!"

However, Tundra seemed mostly unfazed, the strange dark spiritual aura and her chains protecting her body made it so Skadi's strongest blow didn't even hit her directly.

"Do you still believe I am not your daughter, mother?" Laughed Tundra. "I did a really good act, didn't I? Since the beginning that I despised you and this entire stupid family. I was always meant to be something better than being enclosed in this god-forsaken Realm of ice. My new friend here understands me! He knows of my greatness!"

Skadi couldn't believe what Tundra was speaking, she was indeed not being mind-controlled, her daughter genuinely thought these things, and didn't even had any guilt about having planned the death of her sister either.

The entity possessing her body was merely using her as a vessel, this being, this "Sealing God" was cooperating with her willingly, both working for a single motive, to get that crown.

"Your father… and the other gods… And your sister! How could you?! I never raised you to be such a monster!" Skadi roared; her body being covered on an Armor of Frost.

"Raises?" Tundra asked, her eyes glowing bright red. "You never raised me to begin with, mother! You were always paying attention to that stupid little Lazuli, nobody raised me! I grew up alone! Do you think I even care about father? He had only spoken to me like two times through all my life! And you… you never truly loved me! You only started paying attention to me once Lazuli was gone, because you saw me as her replacement. But deep down, she's the only one you've loved."

"H-How can you say that…" Skadi, despite her strong will and warrior heart, felt heartbroken, she felt weak.

It is said that sometimes, words can hurt more than wounds… Skadi always believed that she was a diligent mother, that she did what she could to raise her daughters. Yet… hearing such things devastated her more than any wound.

"His name is Obsidian." Tundra said. "Right, my only friend?"

"Indeed, Lady Tundra." Obsidian, an entity made of dark crystals covered on a black robe of shadows emerged behind Tundra, manifesting himself through ethereal energies. "I've been watching this world for many years. I am a herald of the Spiritual Plane, my Queen has greater purposes for this world's treasures, Lady Tundra has helped me get this far, we won't back down now. Skadi, give us the crown!"

Tundra and Obsidian's wills combined together, as the girl rushed towards her mother, flying with her fairy wings at extreme speeds, as a veil of dark spiritual energy boosted her strength through the roof!

"T-Tundra…!"

Skadi hesitated a bit, recalling her daughter when she was but a little baby, to see her true colors made her almost want to cry, to cry for an eternity…

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

The chains reached her rapidly, Skadi gritted her teeth, trying to intercept or parry her blows with her might and her spear, but Tundra overpowered her.

With such a huge emotional damage left behind in her heart, Skadi faltered, and that combined with the strange and powerful Spiritual Energy that Obsidian exuded, and his sealing chains…

She was overwhelmed.

"Urgh…! Tundra! Stop! Please, my daughter…! STOP!"

Skadi couldn't believe how weakhearted she truly was, to be hurt so badly by a few words coming from her own daughter.

The dark crystal chains wrapped around her gigantic body, her divinity did not respond anymore, her body felt colder than ever before.

"Why don't you take a nap, old hag?" Tundra smiled maliciously, taking away Skadi's crown with herself, as the Titan Goddess entire body was sealed…

The last thing she remembered before waking up much later was a bright light coming from the skies, and the strange soothing voice from an ethereal being that embraced her body and soul.

When Skadi finally opened her eyes, she found her Pantheon in ruins, half of her Gods were sealed in black crystals, her husband included. Tundra was gone with the crown, and their entire Realm was now floating in the middle of a strange world she and her Pantheon had never seen before.

"H-How… am I unsealed? And where is this place…?" Skadi muttered weakling, until she felt the embracing presence around her.

A beautiful and tall lady made of blue crystals, with long aquamarine colored hair and jade-colored eyes emerged before her.

"Thanks the Spirit Pillars that you're alright! If it wasn't because I intervened in the last moment, you would had been sealed forever. Obsidian's powers are too strong…"

"W-Who…? Who are you?!"

Skadi panicked, pointing her spear at the Spiritual Being.

"My name is Azurite… I guess it is normal for you to panic in this situation. But please, before attacking, listen to my words."
