Epic of Caterpillar
chapter-1408

The fierce fight came to a sudden end, as the Gale Bird Emperor was suddenly crushed by the enormous jaws of the fusion slime dragon. His entire body began to break inside, and he started to vomit mouthfuls of blood. His dark winds were not capable of stopping his foe anymore, and he began to agonize on his last moments!

"T-This can't be…! I…!" The Gale Bird Emperor muttered, as he suddenly gathered all the leftover power he had within his chest, unleashing a sudden explosion of dark winds that made his foe finally free him!

BOOOOMMM!!!

"Agggh…! T-This bastard just exploded?!" Asked the slimes together, looking down at the Gale Bird Emperor who was falling into the death sea of miasma, his entire body was already in the verge of breaking apart. He was already dead, but he was probably going to die a second time.

His soul was also damaged, the attacks of the fused slimes were able to pierce through his soul plenty of times, the power of fusing with their new Maxima Summon was amazing. The Gale Bird Emperor had already grown weaker over the fight as he desperately fought the slimes, as he quickly fell into the death miasmic sea, without being able to move anymore.

His body didn't responded to his commands any longer, his soul felt like it was going to soon break into tiny bits and disappear, and his mind was falling unconscious and then getting back up constantly. He was trying his best to keep himself afloat, but it was becoming harder.

The memories of his life began to pass through his mind, the death of his parents, his sister… All the failures and agonies he experienced… And now, once more, he was going to die.

Within his memories, the image of his most hateful foe, the Mountain Monkey Emperor emerged, filling him with rage… but this rage could not make him move anymore.

"What a waste of a second chance… I suppose I never had a second chance, I was a mere puppet for Hel, just to buy her some time…" He sighed internally. "I hope… that my family, wherever they are… can rest in peace… That's all I want at the end." The Gale Bird Emperor thought his last thoughts, as he fell into the ocean of death miasma.

The black and gooey liquid quickly began to consume his body, as he felt the last agony before an eternity of nothingness but void… The giant slime fusion looked from above, they admired him at the end as he had fought a lot, and drove them almost to their deaths several times.

Kireina looked at the Gale Bird Emperor with contempt, without any positive nor negative opinion on him, she seemed to be neutral on his decisions, but at the very least, she didn't hated him.

"It is time for my sweet release… I suppose I've always wanted to disappear." Thought the Gale Bird Emperor for a last time, as he immersed into the nothingness of death.

…

However.

SPLAAASH!

"Huh?!"

The Gale Bird Emperor found himself being lifted by an enormous furred arm, as a giant monkey grabbed him out of the miasmic death oceans and covered him on phantasmal flames, healing him slowly. An ugly and old monkey face greeted his sight, as the giant bird looked at it hatefully, and also shocked!

"M-Mountain Monkey Emperor?!" He asked. "You saved me!?"

"You cannot die now, Green Feather." Said the Mountain Monkey Emperor with eyes filled with wisdom, a flash of bright red light came from his eyes, it seemed as if he knew something that couldn't allow Green Feather to die.

"H-How dare you save me, you damn bastard! I'll kill you!" Cried the Gale Bird Emperor, however, the Monkey Emperor ignored him, the giant bird could not even move.

The Monkey Emperor flew into the skies, grabbing the Gale Bird Emperor and flying away from the foes. Kireina and the slimes were left surprised! The monkey emperor was incredibly fast, and he easily managed to save his ally, who was in the verge of death. But Kireina never expected this to happen, as all the Emperors were selfish and didn't cared about one another.

"Why you're doing this?!" Cried Gale Bird Emperor, as the monkey emperor slowly healed the Gale Bird Emperor's body. "You want to mock me?! Did Hel told you so?! Let me die!"

"I cannot let you die yet, Green Feather, you're a key figure in the future… That I saw." Said the Monkey Emperor.

"The future that you saw?!" Asked the Gale Bird Emperor in shock. "What sort of nonsense you're talking about, you fucking bastard?! Did you, by any chance, killed my family because of this future?!"

"…Yes." Said the Monkey Emperor. "I don't feel proud of it, what I've done is a horrendous sin… I am sorry, Green Feather. I've always wanted to tell you the truth, but I couldn't, and even now, I can only say it partially…"

"W-Wha…? Who are you, exactly?!" Asked the Gale Bird Emperor in surprise, as he suddenly realized he could move and fly once more, and even his wings were regenerated back with feathers and everything! He darted away from the grasp of his enemy, as he looked at him hatefully from above.

"TELL ME!!!" He cried.

"Green Feather, we are below Hel's power, you cannot fight me even if you try." Said the Monkey Emperor.

"FUCK YOU!" Roared the Gale Bird Emperor, as he attempted to fight the Monkey Emperor, but his attacks simply didn't hit him, flying everywhere else, even hitting the foe's undead armies instead… but not the one he hated the most.

"Hahh… D-Damn it!" Cried the Gale Bird Emperor.

"I cannot tell you everything yet, the wheel of destiny is moving quickly! We must continue going accordingly to it to not let the future change into an even more chaotic outcome!" Said the Monkey Emperor, his dark staff glowed brightly with dark energies, as he unleashed several beams, keeping Kireina's army back from approaching him and the Spider Empress behind them.

"The Wheel of Destiny?!" Asked the Gale Bird Emperor.
