Epic Of Caterpillar

-----

Zeus and his family gathered within the Lower Realm, where many of the Gods that served Zeus directly were also here. Alongside beings such as the Dragon Gods with their new bodies were present as well.

Baltis was with all the Gods as well, talking about what was going to happen and what she had predicted.

Many Gods glanced at her, mostly all the enslaved and unwilling to fight Gods that were forced by Zeus, which included three of their tyrannical leaders, the three dark flames, who were all forcefully enslaved by Zeus.

The Dragon Gods glanced at Baltis expressionlessly, although they seemed impatient to find Kireina and Zudig who had said that he allied with her and was waiting for them.

Of course, such a thing was a mere lie, but the Dragon Gods were incredibly desperate to find Zudig and believed such a lie so fast and quickly that they didn't even seem to be thousands of years old as they truly were.

Indeed, after living for so long even Dragons become inept idiots, and they showed it clear in how they were doing things now. It seemed that being a god didn't stop a being from growing senile…

Or perhaps they were always stupid.

Nevertheless, they had gathered with Zeus and his family and were expectant of the news.

Many of the lower realm gods had seen dozens of demigods getting slaughtered by Kireina before, so they had grown fearful of her.

However, with the strength of the newly recovered Zeus, who had brought some more allies, Gods' hopes for survival greatly increased.

Most of them, however, intended to use their partners as meat shields of possible, as long as they survived until Kireina were to get killed, it would be possible for them to survive and then be freed by Zeus.

Many of the Lower Realm Gods thought the same, they didn't want to die and were promised by Zeus that they would be freed as long as Kireina was defeated.

So, this made all the Gods trust each other even less, as they were all thinking about surviving and not about collectively working to kill a single enemy.

Additionally, some Gods, before Baltis were to speak, asked where Vretrion was.

"Those two went to their own Kingdom. Pay no mind, when we finish things here, I shall go there to personally punish them for not working," said Zeus, reassuring the Gods that those that escaped would be punished, so they didn't felt bad for not escaping themselves beforehand.

Baltis was finally given the chance to speak, as many of Zeus' children were currently setting up the "Teleportation Formation" that Apollo and everyone else had painstakingly created.

"I have seen Kireina with my Stargazing Eyes. She resides atop the sky, right above the Icy Wall Mountains. This special Teleportation Formation will be made s it will teleport with us included, and trap Kireina within this space… This Formation was made even with the help of some Great Gods, so expect outstanding results and no less. Rest assured, as long as you work hard with us, Kireina's demise is a given, everyone," said Baltis with a sweet smile. Many of the Lower Realm Gods were monsters, yet they still felt an instinctive attraction to her beauty and aura. Her serenity and certainty over the situation relaxed their concerned hearts.

The Gods began to praise the amazing plan they had come out with, and not even the most "intelligent" of the Gods were able to discern any lie from Baltis, she was saying the truth to their eyes and senses.

The Dragon Gods discussed this, it seemed that they were excited.

"So it is finally time, let's make sure to slaughter them all,"

"Indeed. With these new bodies, they won't stand a chance!"

"I feel so filled with youthfulness and power. Our Cultivation was a success. Most of the Attribute Particles of our main elements had reached five thousand! Amazing!"

The Gods spoke through the bodies and lips of the heroes they had nurtured and later betrayed so they could become their vessels, they celebrated that through their cultivation methods and by consuming materials, they had finally reached five thousand attribute particles of their main attributes.

"And even then, our Attribute Particles will be enhanced even more after we use our special technique!"

"That's right, with such power, we will be able to catch up to Zudig's power and finally have our revenge…"

"We'll devour him and acquire the powers he got from David, and we might even become Great Gods after that!"

Although nothing had begun yet, the Dragon Gods were already celebrating their victory and imagining what kind of powerup could they get from all of this at the end. Completely underestimating the strength of Kireina and her family… This was most likely due to a series of factors. One of them being that they had no idea of Kireina's true capabilities and her current growth speed, even less about the growth speed of all her family.

They did get to know that Ares and the Gods of the Yggdrasil Sprout were killed, but nothing else than that, and they were sure to be stronger than even Ares at this point.

It was a combination of arrogance, lack of information, and the treachery of Zeus and his family… who were all Kireina Clones!

Of course, this was all but a lie!

All a lie! It was a setup! And all these Gods… All of them were happily sitting there, waiting to be slaughtered!

Apollo quickly flew back to Zeus, as the other Gods all floated in a corner of the formation, large crystals of spatial attribute and several magic circles expanded all over the place.

"It is done, father," he said, with a confident nod.

"Excellent, then let's get to it. Everyone! Are you ready?" asked Zeus.

Everyone nodded, unleashing their Auras. Many of the Gods had been pumped up after hearing all the news, it seemed that Kireina was going to be easily overwhelmed!

There were easily over a dozen of Gods of all shapes and sizes in here. Some looked more monstrous than others, while others looked more humanoid. Others such as the dark flames were just giant flames of colors in the shape of faces.

Most of the Demigods were slaughtered and eaten by Kireina, so only the big shots of the lower realm remained… all of them, to Kireina's clones, looked appetizing.

In front of this army, there were also more clones, all of the Azuma Empire Hero Gods were here, alongside Faylen's clone, who exuded a similar power than the original one fairly easily by concentrating a bit of the power it acquired when it was born, as her soul was made with a fragment of one of Kireina's clones, it easily could unleash an aura of Chaos all around her body, making the Gods beware of her presence.

After all, Chaos attribute was still feared by the gods even to this age, and Realm Menaces were able to wield it easily and naturally. Now that she was Goddess, such power was intensified even more, so they naturally glanced at a little elf with a lot of fear, despite most of the Lower Realm Gods looking like giant monsters of all shapes and sizes, some more natural-looking and others looking like grotesque entities.

These large and grotesque monsters, who some looked like animals, other like monsters, and others were completely strange, all looked fearfully at the cute blonde-haired and emerald-eyed elf girl, and at the Azuma Heroes, who had been experimented with to have Chaos Souls, with the power to also harbor chaos within them and be unaffected by miasma!

However, after they had given most of their gained power to their main body, Kireina, they had lowered on strength but were quickly upgraded by the other clones, being given stronger divine souls and more shared Skills. Their presences were also dark and chaotic, and the Lower Realm Gods glanced at them with some concern as well, they didn't want to get too close, as unlike strange Demon Gods such as Jorgrakog who had an affinity with miasma and could produce it, most Gods were weak to chaos and miasma, as their divine souls could get infected by it.

This was also a reason why Gods didn't go to the surface was much, and stayed inside their Divine Realm. However, for this war, they all needed to come out and fight directly. In this case, being closer to those that harbored chaos was dangerous.

In fact, most Gods planned a lot of long-ranged tactics and divine techniques, which they were going to use to deal with Kireina and the rest of her group, who all harbored chaos as if it were water inside their bodies.

The plan for these Clones in front of the army was fairly simple too! They were going to distract the Gods and surprise them with their attacks, so Kireina and her family could have an easy time catching them and slaughtering them.

Unaware of all of this, the Gods were all being played, they were all dancing in the palm of Kireina's hands, who was so malicious to do such a treacherous thing for her own benefit and that of her family.

As Zeus gave the order and nodded, Apollo and everyone else within the Zeus Family activated the Formation, as it suddenly generated several and powerful dense walls made of space, which condensed the spatial layers themselves to make them into incredibly hard walls.

This formation was mostly prepared by Kireina's clones with her help and those of Kiroid.

By applying the same way that nature itself generates spatial walls when the spatial layers become dense and get so tightly stuck that they become like walls, they were able to create a formation that did the same, at a smaller scale, of course.

But of course, the results were just as fascinating.

The moment the formation activated, the Gods were surprised by the details, the finely made walls, the compression of the spatial layers into walls was something that perhaps only great gods of high ranking could achieve, they were instantly reassured that this was the work of such beings, and felt even more at ease.

The spatial walls continued to be created and expand all around, the formation was enormous, so it was taking some time to properly form. The Gods glanced with rich detail how everything was created from the ground up.

The enormous azure-colored crystals were spatial attribute materials compressed and crystallized, helping was catalyzers for the creation of the formation, which were quickly protected by the spatial walls as well, like forcefields that protected their very own batteries from being destroyed by insiders.

Many Gods recognized that this was the right thing to do, after all, if the enemy were going to be trapped inside here with them, they could easily destroy these crystals and get out, so it was very well thought that the catalyzers for the formation were being protected by the formation Spatial Walls themselves.

They glanced as the Spatial Layers began to be compressed incredibly fast and swiftly, the spatial layers would usually look like small little rooms in between the boundless space that made it all, but when they were compressed, they would tighten and become as thin as threads if not thinner, one by one they would be aligned and compressed until the incredibly strong and powerful Spatial Walls were created.

Spatial Walls even possessed the power to stop a being inside of them to teleport outside of the space that was enclosed by them, and unless they had a link in between the inside of the spatial walls and the outside of them, they would only be able to get out by using enormous quantities of power and forcefully break them!

However, the Gods were not going to let Kireina get away with such a thing…

They all saw with excitement as the formation closed, and a second after, Kireina teleported right in front of them shocking everyone due to the sudden event…

"Hello, everyone, and thank you for gathering here for me… Now, let's begin," she said.
