Epic of Caterpillar
chapter-1987

Within the Floating Spirit Island, the army of Insectoid Spirit Beasts kept increasing at a staggering rate. The Spiritian Soldiers there were just to make sure their prisoners would remain chained by their magical constructions.

A wasp looking Spiritian woman, with sharp and big red eyes glared at the distance, a giggle came from her mandibles as they cracked, as she had just noticed the arrival of some newcomers, in fact, it was the bastards she had tried to kill before but failed to do so.

"What an incredible opportunity to crush all these ants at once."

Her insectoid claws moved around, as purple, and black colored spiritual essence emerged from her body, resembling swarms of mosquitoes gathering together to materialize into more Insectoid Spirit Beasts, the main army she could create.

Of course, it didn't come without a price, and to make such a huge army, she had also devoured an equally large amount of Spirit Souls, the souls of the Spiritual inhabitants of this Realm.

"My pathetic servants, it seems to be time we bring my newest experiment out." She smiled, laughing manically. "QUICK! Bring it to me!"

"Y-Yes!" The Spiritians, who were mostly at Low-Rank Great God Levels flew towards the deep underground of the huge fortress.

In there, they found it, her newest experiment, quickly imbuing their spiritual energies into it like a net, and carrying it all the way into the surface, where the wasp-like monstrous Spiritian giggled maniacally.

"Excellent! It has developed so well!" She laughed. "Dumb Obsidian, you won't even have the opportunity to take down what you started! I'll gain my Queen's gratitude as I bring her the corpses of these otherworldly bastards…!"

Her insectoid arms raised as her swarm-like spiritual essence emerged from within her spiritual heart, fusing with her newest "experiment", what was right in front of her.

"Grow big and strong, my child…"

…

BBBBZZTTTT…!

The accursed sound of thousands of insectoid spirit beasts swarming the Spiritual Divine Frost Barrier surrounding the Realm of Niflheim grew louder and louder with each passing second, until countless cracks spread across its glass-like surface.

The barrier was already on its limits, it was created through Skadi and Azurite's efforts, using most of the divine materials and spirit beast corpses they could find, yet this was its limit…

Crack, crack… CRACK!

The Gods guarding the area panicked, pointing their weapons at the incoming swarm that could end it all, while one of them ran into the castle to alert their Queen about the imminent danger!

Crack, crack…!

Uru kept running faster and faster, entering the castle and rushing into the throne room, his huge body gave him a lot of strength, but it was also quite slow when sprinting like this. When he finally reached the throne room, it was a bit too late.

Crack, crack… CRAAAASH!

BBBZZZZTTT…!

The horrendous sound of thousands of huge Insectoid Spirit Beasts entering and swarming the entirety of the Niflheim Realm echoed, as the rumbling sound of the barrier shatter into pieces and shaking the whole land reverberated even within the protected interior of the Frost Castle.

RUMBLE!

Uru at long last entered the throne room where the Frost Queen was talking with the newcomers, a band of strong gods that helped the army retreat and that were said to belong to the Pantheon of Chaos, servants of Kireina, the Supreme Goddess of Gluttony and Chaos.

"Queen Skadi, the barrier… It has shattered!" Uru came running to the throne room.

"I can tell." Skadi sighed, as Azurite was at her side, panicking.

"Uwaaah! The barrier shattered already?! B-But I put all my power into it!" She cried.

"It cannot be helped, you've been weakened by your sister's attack, that wound has yet to fully regenerate after all." Said Skadi. "Alright, everyone, let's go to battle! We can talk about everything else once we're done with this problem."

"Alright, there's no helping it." Celica nodded. "Truhan, everyone, let's do this!"

"OOOOHHH!"

The entire group roared with energy, rushing outside the castle as fast as possible as they were greeted by a chaotic scene.

It was as if the skies themselves had broken, shattered open, and from within the cracks, countless giant insects, the smallest being as big as five meters of height, emerging from them endlessly…

The accursed sound of their rapidly moving insect wings was the worst, generating a sense of dread that sent chills down the spine of most of the Gods present in the Realm.

All Mortals that used to inhabit the place were now within Skadi's Divine Realm, this place was simply too dangerous for them to roam freely.

"They're coming from the skies!" Skadi roared. "Dammit, they're too many! If the surround us from all sides… We'll have many casualties. Azurite, give me your strength!"

"Very well, Skadi." Azurite nodded, her body suddenly turning ethereal, fusing into Skadi, and using her physical body as her vessel!

FLAAAASH!

Skadi's entire body didn't change in appearance, but she was suddenly covered by an armor made of the same crystal that made up Azurite, her spear was also remodeled, transformed, and made stronger, and around her, there was an arc of several Icicle Spears, resembling a divine halo of ice.

Her armor wasn't all, however, her Divinity and the Divine Spirit Energy of Azurite combined as one, with tremendously high synchronization. She exuded a gigantic Supreme Spirit Domain around her, protecting everyone with extra layers of defense.

"I'll charge forwards! The Gods of my Pantheon, stick to our new friends! Don't give your back to the beasts!" Skadi immediately floated in midair and flew at an incredible speed.

"She could do that?!" Raito had his mouth wide open as he saw her transform.

"And that Aura she was exuding…!" Palami muttered.

"Without a doubt, she had reached the Realm of Supreme Gods as well." Asure said, as his body slowly started to grow larger into a Giant. "Time for us to also pull our own weight then!"

"Alright!" Truhan roared, raising his blazing battle axe as he smiled, showing his sharp tusks coming from his lower jaw. "It's time!"
