Epic Of Caterpillar

709 Side Chapters: The Demon Gods Schemes

-----

A large group of enormous creatures gathered together in a single and enormous landscape, covered in darkness, and venomous purple clouds, alongside being inhabited by many grotesque creatures that flew, ran, or slithered around.

Each creature had the form of a monstrous being, and each one was very distinct of each other, an enormous bull with hundreds of horns and legs, a blazing wheel, a pile of bones covered in phantom, an enormous mass of twisting flesh, a gigantic mass of eyes of all shapes and sizes, a titanic brain covered in ooze and slimy tentacles, a beautiful lady covered in an insect-like exoskeleton, a gigantic titan wearing black armor, and more…

All of them gathered eerily around the enormous dark titan covered in metallic armor, who exuded the strongest presence of all of them.

"Is today the day?" asked one of the creatures.

"It seems that things had gone according to our predictions and the information given to us by those Gods," said the gigantic black armored being.

"After Kireina defeated those three useless idiots, she seems to have grown even stronger…"

"We have to stop her before it is too late, and her strength reaches our realm…"

"Indeed, this is now the best time to unleash our plan,"

"Now that the fool of Hephaestus will free the insane Jorgrakog and his children and family wreck Kireina's Empire, we will act whenever there is the right time…"

"Indeed, I feel like this is a perfect opportunity, we cannot possibly miss it…"

The grotesque monsters spoke in different types of sounds and screeches, however, the gigantic black armored titan spoke, making everyone silent.

"Our insider within her Pantheon has been working exceedingly well…"

"Indeed, despite her divinity, she had even managed to fool Kireina…"

"Did she really thought that her Skills would be everything?"

"She's a hypocrite…"

"Even after eating the Gods she had, her power cannot compare to our resourcefulness and thousands of years of experience. Someone who had only been able to grow through the System is no match for us,"

"Although she possesses great power through her Skills and Soul, she can still be fooled. Because she fought and beat a few weak and pathetic trash that call themselves gods, she really thought that all of us would be just as stupid and weak as them, didn't she?"

"Skills can only do much, we who had trained our Divine Energy for thousands of years can exceed greater power through our Divine Techniques, which will always be superior to Skills, no matter the time… They only seemed inferior to her Skills because she had only been fighting trash that no one considers as a threat,"

"Eating that trash had indeed given her some power, and she might one day even exceed us, but that is still very far from present… We can now take this opportunity with Hephaestus stupidness and kill her once and for all,"

"If things go accordingly, we can even acquire the powers she possesses, and distribute them evenly…"

"Evenly? Some of us will have to get more of it, right?"

"Hmph, don't get cocky, that will be decided when this whole ordeal is done,"

"But what about the Gods with her?"

"Oh? You mean Agatheina the weak beast gods who can't even lay a finger on us? Or do you mean the conceited wyvern gods who are simply inferior versions of their dragon siblings? Ah! Perhaps you are referring to the two garbage gods from the central continent? Or you might mean Agatheina, the stupid woman who can't even compare to Thanatos-sama? Don't you remember how she trembled each time she saw us? What an inferior being… I had resisted many times the impulse of squashing her like an ant, but there might be the chance now…"

"Hm, you're right, even the Gods with her are trash, perhaps even more pathetic than the ones she fought against,"

"Do you know who was her latest member? Nyzzet, that cowardly and useless dragon! I couldn't help but laugh aloud when I got that information,"

"Nyzzet from all gods? Really, the only allies she has are useless trash… Unbelievable, did she really thought she even had a chance, to begin with?"

"Let us sweep the floor with her and be done with this tiny issue, I wonder what kind of power we can get from her Sin of Lust…"

"Am I the only one who feels like this might be too much? We are interfering with the World's Epic if we kill the Realm Menace of Lust beforehand…"

"Who asked for your opinion?"

"We don't care about that stupid World's Epic anymore, we had stopped caring long ago. We have higher issues within our Kingdom,"

"She has already changed fate way too much, she's beginning to annoy even the Supremes. We might as well gain some of their favor by killing her beforehand. The only one who agrees with this stupid Epic garbage is the Supreme God of Star's Oceans, who believes that Kireina might be a good pawn to his plans…"

"He is not even in this Realm, so why should we care what he thinks? He's a jester kind of guy, so he will probably not even care if she really dies. For Supreme Gods, most things that happen in Genesis are just amusement,"

"Up until now, she had only fought Gods separately, and even then, only three, who were all fighting against each other, to begin with. She had never tasted what is the true power of several gods working together while knowing each other's abilities, powers, and even possessing many artifacts, divine techniques, and a lot of saved up divine energy…"

"Indeed, she had been living an illusion this whole time… just like the ones she likes to make…"

"So, Thanatos-sama, how is the insider doing?"

The enormous giant glanced at the mass of twisting flesh.

"It has been doing everything accordingly to my orders. Even though she had gained some admiration for Kireina, her mind is still clear… To think that she even went as far as letting Kireina have all of her mortal children as citizens, and even conquer her dungeon just so she could earn her trust… And Kireina is so idiotic to believe a god after all of that? She didn't even try to enslave her or something… Truly a fool amongst fools,"

"All of what she's doing is for her little sister, huh?"

"Such a foolish god, to be capable of being manipulated too easily by familiar bonds…"

"Don't worry, we are taking care of her little sister well enough in the abyssal prison…"

"Will, you really give her to it after this is done?"

"Obviously not, we shall feast in her sister afterward, when we know that she did everything we asked her to do… She might weep or escape, I do not care, personally. She fulfilled her mission, and we might even forgive her life, well, mostly because it would be a pain to track her,"

"Hm, it has been a long time since I had seafood…"

"Fufuhehe…"

"Gihihihi…"

The monstrous beings laughed as they imagined their soon-to-be feast, where Kireina, her family, and Empire would be all devoured alongside the prisoner they have within this realm.

The enormous, armored giant then began to talk about the plans and arrangements.

"We have settled thirty Divine Barrier Jewels, carefully crafted by one of our allies in another Realm around her Empire… Of course, by using our Divine Techniques, it has been exceedingly easy to hide their presence even from Kireina, who boasts to have the power to detect anything…"

"Splendid work, Thanatos-sama…"

"And well, our vessel, the Sin of Greed is waiting patiently to invade her Empire alongside the army of nine hundred soldiers and almost a million monsters,"

"Ah, she had grown a lot since Agatheina, and her filthy Vampires left our Kingdom…"

"Indeed, she is our trump card. We must use her very well, her ability is especially effective against Kireina…"

"The other Champions and Heroes had gathered within her army, we shall attack her Empire from all sides. Thanks to the barriers we will leave open, and also the Teleportation Crystals that we bought a few years ago, they should be able to appear right in front of her whenever the barrier is formed…"

"We are aware that she can clone herself, right?"

"Indeed, that is old news. Her clones, however, are weaker than her. She has many types of clones, and through the information we got from the Azuma Empire, they even possess a copy of her original will… But even then, they are not even comparable to her power, so even with them considered, there isn't much she will be able to do…"

"Oh right, we have gotten some more info from our insider. It seems that she can produce something called 'true clones' where she divides her own stats to create clones that share all her abilities,"

"That's quite interesting… if she divides herself a lot through our attacks, she will end considerably weakened,"

"We could even destroy her little by little,"

"Although we don't have Divinity Devouring like her, there are many methods to assimilate other souls, even one such as her that is so strange and bizarre,"

"Hm, she really thinks we are not as resourceful? Unbelievable,"

"To be honest, the best thing she could have done is to escape this Realm altogether, but she foolishly chooses to stay in here. Now, we will destroy everything that belongs to her and then devour her slowly,"

"She is nothing but a steppingstone, I suppose,"

"What a pity, I really expected a bit more from all of this…"

"I guess that is the end of the Realm Menace of Lust, the one blessed by the System Master…"

"Yet another steppingstone in the thousands we had kicked out of our path,"

"Thanatos-sama… after this…"

"Indeed, if enough power is gathered… I might be able to break through my bottleneck and finally achieve Great God Rank,"

"And then…"

"We shall become a more recognized pantheon within the entire realms…"

"After that, I am planning for all of you to become Great Gods as well… Then, we can conquer Azuma and the Central Continent… With the plans, I've devised and the various techniques and creations that we had made through these long years of waiting, we will finally be recognized as the true rules of this world…"

"They will finally stop looking down on us, huh?"

"We'll destroy them all, and finally make a new era begin!"

"A new era where the Demon Gods govern!"

"And then…"

"Thanatos-sama will become the first Supreme Demon God!"

"But it is all just part of an even greater scheme, isn't it?"

"Hm, indeed…"

"We have been cultivating all of these tools and powers for this moment…"

"We need to use everything we had prepared to survive what is about to occur within this world…"

"And within the rest of the worlds as well…"

"Indeed, the Spatial Layers are stranger and stranger everyday… the day for that event to occur is coming closer…"

"Do you mean… What Thanatos-sama had predicted many years ago?"

"That's right, it is what I predicted. That day when I saw it with my very eyes, the rift in space that led to the Origin Core of Genesis… I only had a little glance at its splendor, but the knowledge it granted me when I glanced at it enlightened me and gave me the ability to see what was about to happen in the future… Since then, we had all been preparing for that very moment!"

"Kireina is nothing compared to this issue, huh?"

"Let us be done with it, there are more important issues we need to assess before that event finally comes…"

"Indeed… For now, we wait…"

"In a few more hours…"

"We shall finally get this ant out of the way…"

The grotesque monsters of all shapes and sizes laughed together, as many of them fantasized for the moment they could acquire the power of Kireina and trample over her and her measly Empire of monsters.

The enormous giant made out of dark armor stood still and silent, he was not like the rest, he was a cold can calculative god, even after everything he had planned, he could not help but think that there was needed some more preparation.

However, such an opportunity like the one granted to them through Hephaestu's actions would not come again, he knew that there was a slight, minimal risk of something not going as planned, but even if the worst-case scenario happened, he had even planned a victory.
