Epic of Caterpillar
chapter-2008

Two Realms collided.

The pristine oceans of Atlantis surged rapidly and roared furiously as they swirled together chaotically with the endless crimson oceans of blood from Ravenfolt.

And in between this chaotic clash of realms which made both of their Divine Atmospheres collide and destroy everything, a war was ragging.

A group of Vampires wielding the power of Blood Divine Magic and the Pantheon of Atlantis composed of mighty Sea Gods of all shapes and sizes united as one group, clashing against a common foe.

That common foe being an indecipherable mass of purple, red, and black energies swirling together, distorting space and time as countless red eyes and tentacles emerged from within.

It was not from the Realm of Spirits, yet it emerged from there. The chaotic war raged as the beast broke through space and time, opening a larger portal where monstrosities from a distant Plane emerged.

This wasn't just a war between Genesis and the Spiritual Plane after all, it was a war between multiple worlds and Planes, a war that would rage on, and take as many lives as it could until a definite winner triumphed, ultimately devouring everything else!

And so, the ravenous and greedy claws of the Outer Ones couldn't let go of such an opportunity, the Chaotic Plane, whose conquest of Genesis was rather slow because of Kireina's presence, who nullified or controlled the majority of their powers, making their invasion rather hard to do, were now unhinged as the cracks between dimensions opened.

Provoked by an otherworldly Demon King, these cracks connected many worlds together, and many Planes, these mighty Planes of existence harboring tremendously strong beings that only desired to greedily take anything from the other Planes and Worlds!

Poseidon's blue eyes shone brightly as he glanced at the monstrous entity emerge. His body covered on an armor of blue crystals, as his Divinity converged with the power of Divine Spiritual Energy, his trident growing several times larger as his long white beard waved by the strong winds.

The seas around all of Atlantis obeyed their almighty King, as he rose among the waves, which gathered beneath him like a living being of its own, hundreds of gigantic snakes made of his divine oceans emerged, clashing against the tentacles of the Outer One trying to invade this area, and at the same time, devour both of these realms while it was at it!

"HEH… HEH… HEH..." The monstrous entity laughed eerily. "Foolish King of the Seas. Your Realm is nothing but an aperitive to US. You and your people, it shall all be devoured by the endless Sea of Chaos!"

FLAAAAAASSSSH!!!

An enormous wave of miasmic chaos emerged from the crack in space and time, completely covering the skies of Atlantis as Poseidon gritted his teeth. The chaotic energies clashing against his seas as the other Gods did their best to fend off the entity, and its hundreds of thousands of Chaotic Beast rushing in endlessly…

"Dammit…! Is there really no hope of winning?!"

His memories quickly reminded him of how everything started, of how he and his Pantheon ended being stranded in this Plane. It all started when the battle between Kireina's Armies and the Spiritual Plane's invaders started.

The two enormous armies clashed for hours to no end. The Insectoid Spirit Beasts held the advantage in numbers, but Kireina's allies held tremendous strength and many powers and abilities she had inherited to them.

Poseidon had tried to remain neutral through most of these wars, but he could no longer simply stay still and watch as everything around his home was being destroyed and plundered by otherworldly forces.

And after having been visited by a strange Spiritual Being, who told him that if things remained as they were, the Spiritual Plane would eventually gain a tremendous advantage that could completely destroy all of Genesis, the King of the Oceans was forced to step up.

Commanding millions of Divine Sea Beasts, his hundreds of Sea Gods, and his almighty family of powerful Great Gods, Poseidon brought the might of the sea waves to the war!

Adding his strength to the battle against the invaders and taking down many of them with his powers and troops, Poseidon thought that things could improve, that hope had yet to leave their hearts.

But he was sorely mistaken.

Before he could understand what was happening, and as a large part of the invading Spirits died, a flash of light emerged from the portal they came from.

The flash not only generated a powerful force of attraction, which sucked all of Kireina's allies inside into an unknown world, but it also managed to expand itself, generating many more cracks that kept spreading almost endlessly!

The cracks continued to spread as Poseidon watched in horror as half of Genesis Astral Road was being devoured by unknown forces, the might of a being known as the Demon King was responsible for this, but also… someone else, something else!

The last thing he saw before his entire Realm of Atlantis were to be absorbed by the light was a giant spider, an Arachne, in fact, sitting over a spiderweb made out of space and time itself.

Weaving the dimensions themselves, her power was utterly ridiculous…

"YOU! Who are you?! Why are you doing this?!" Poseidon roared, using his powers to resist being absorbed with his realm into an otherworldly plane.

"Fufufu, why should I answer the questions of a side character like you?" The arachnid woman laughed. "Just go and die already, nobody cares about extras."

"W-What?! YOUUU! [Primordial Divine Seas Trident]!"

With all his strength, he had tried to shoot his trident towards her, only for him to fail, only barely scratching her webs before the trident was fired right back at him, piercing his chest.

CRAAASSSH!!!

"G-Gaaaggh…?! Urgh…!"

His blue eyes glanced at the arachnid as he and his Realm were ultimately absorbed by the Spiritual Plane's light, blood splattering from his body as his heart was destroyed by his own weapon…

And when he finally opened his eyes, he found his wounds "healed" now covered by Spiritual Crystals made from the one that saved his life.

"Are you alright, Poseidon?"

"S-Sapphirine…?"
