Epic of Caterpillar
chapter-1175

Bubu, Azure, and Nova had forged some kind of relationship, it happened as we moved leisurely across the forest filled with eldritch trees which occasionally showed some horrendous creatures but that were not really a threat. Sometimes by just glaring at them they died.

However no one cares about the action anymore, Bubu had forged a pact with Azure and Nova and this was big, as they were my other two Summons which were actually not really Maxima Summons, it surprised me. There are many other Maxima Summons now, actually all my family and close allies got their Summon Dao Fragment and summoned a Maxima Summon so they got their personal summon pet.

However these pets usually don't interact that much with one another, and Bubu seems to be rather oblivious of them, it could be said that he seems them below him, mostly due the power level difference, aside from Rimuru the other Maxima Summons are still the peak of great god-realm. The only different ones are Azure and Nova, despite only having a single Dao and being tied to my path jewel of Gates of Bjarmia and Overpowering Sun, these two guys were still in the Supreme God level like him.

This was for the obvious reason of being part of the path jewels which were also of the Supreme God-Realm, duh. Because of that, they were pretty strong, strong enough to be recognized by the arrogant caterpillar… Also this might only be my thoughts, but I think there's some sort of hate going on around all Maxima Summons against Bubu. I don't want to think this too much, but Bubu was actually sealed inside of his own Universe due to his tremendous power.

In this Universe, which I don't know much about, Maxima Summons are the shit, and everyone uses them to grow stronger, you could call it the Summon Universe, although it's called Maxima Universe. Bubu is an equivalent to a super Primordial Maxima Beast, as he was born from the overaccumulation of Pure Chaos in the corner of the Universe, which they had ignored for a long time, and when he was born, he began to feed on stars and even galaxies to grow stronger and mature into an Universe-level entity, but he was stopped by the Maxima Summoners, who tried to capture him and make him into a Maxima Summon, but failed miserably.

Bubu killed many, I think, until the biggest and strongest bosses of this Universe ganged on him and sealed him using all their power and even the very weight of the Maxima Universe, due to that, he was forgotten after eons, and never was thought of being a threat anymore due to them all making sure Bubu would never be able to free himself… well, tough luck because I freed him in the post hilarious way possible, by summoning him in another completely different Universe.

Oh boy, I really can't wait to get there and show these monsters that Bubu is back to eat them all up… but for now we must continue our traveling through Hell.

"Bubu! Bububuuuu!" Bubu proclaimed, as the two Summons nodded and released their sounds.

"Giiishiiii!" said Azure.

"Oooohhh…" said Nova.

A pact was formed and the three suddenly connected…

Wait, what?!

Bubu released two black threads from his body and connected them to the two Path Jewel Summons, and then they felt as if black auras covered them for a moment and then it dissipated.

What… did you even do now, Bubu?! Seriously he always does weird shit! I can't believe this kid. I looked at the three summons and they suddenly made as if nothing had happened.

"Bubu what the heck did you do them?" I asked.

"Bubu?! Bub…" he said, ignoring my question and averting his gaze.

"Hmmm…" I wondered what the heck he did, but Zehe petted my shoulder.

"I felt it, I think Bubu did some type of contract with them… after all, he's already a sort of Supreme God-figure too, perhaps he has some kind of blessing ability, after all he can also replicate your skills, right?" asked Zehe.

"Oh yeah… maybe that's what he did?" I wondered, looking back at Bubu who ignored us once more. He was really getting on my nerves now! Why is he like this?

"Maybe! Hey, look, a big ruin!" said Rimuru, she quickly woke us from this daze as the world going around us wouldn't stop to let us investigate what had actually happened with Bubu, Azure, and Nova.

"Ruins…?!" I wondered, looking at actual ruins. They were made of black bricks and filled with black moss, I mean, covered with black moss… and there were gigantic black mushrooms coming out of the se Aztec-like ruins, resembling several destroyed pyramids.

I looked at the scene in awe, these were the ruins! According to the Imps, we have to enter them and walk straight through them, reaching the other side of the forest where we'll finally find the Lands of Emptiness, or whatever they're called, I don't remember well.

The ruins had some strange paintings on them, depicting people prostrating themselves before a massive black tree with many black tentacles and filled with crimson-red eyes, it seems they worshiped these trees? Seriously? But then why did they go extinct?

Also the people were weird, they looked like lizards with black hair, and had four arms. They seemed like a mighty demon race but were nowhere to be seen, something had whipped them out of existence in here, and our task was to not care about it, because why should we even care about weaklings? We were here to just cross through it. even if there's a hidden artifact or something, it will be shit anyways so I don't think it has to be of our incumbency.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get to it!" I said, leading my part into the depths of these ruins, taking a corridor-like passage that led straight outside the forest.
