Epic of Caterpillar
chapter-2133

"It's mine… I-I got it! Even after losing my Avatar, e-even after losing my body- After all, I got one! One… is enough, they said that one was enough!"

The black tentacle laughed, dozens of crimson eyes widening and squinting over its body, as it dragged the Abyss Gate Portal Fragment tightly and suddenly distorted space with its aura of darkness.

"I lost it all… B-But with this, they should surely reward me for it…!" He smiled, although he seemed incredibly exhausted. "{Void Step}"

FLASH!

His entire being disappeared, reappearing once more in another world, one completely white. The Limbo between Multiverses and Dimensions. He was only there for a split of a second, even though he was greeted by entities living there, he ignored them.

The Limbo was a bridge between Planes, Realms, and Worlds. And through the power of the Void Step Spell, it was possible for people to step through the boundaries of Planes and walk through the Limbo to reach another point within Reality.

In another second, he appeared in a completely dark world, finding himself inside one of the largest amalgamations of Chaos and Void within the Sea of Emptiness, which covered eighty percent of this entire Dimension where many Universes floated like islands.

And of course the largest amalgamation of Chaos and Void within the Sea of Emptiness was, without a doubt, the Outer Plane, where the many Outer Gods with their True Bodies, which were rejected by all Worlds, resided.

"I'm back…!"

The moment The Eternal Darkness remnant appeared within the Sea of Emptiness and acceded the Outer Plane, the entire landscape changed. A world full of incomprehensible colors twisting and expanding constantly. Countless shapes, appendages, eyes, and jaws gathered around him, of all shapes and sizes. Their complete forms incomprehensible, but he knew they were his brethren, Outer Gods.

The majority were the Outer Gods, born either from the Shadows, or from Shub-Niggurath, who have given birth to many other Outer Gods aside from the Shadows themselves. His small and weak body looked too weak and pathetic to be seen as another of their own, and many of the Outer Gods started eyeing him with hunger.

"Great Lords of the Outer Deeps, please, hear my call!" The Endless Darkness called, desperate to do it before he were to get devoured. "I've brought upon you an offering! A bridge for you to access the True Child of Azathoth, a chance for you to devour his soul!"

The Void and Darkness trembled, the incomprehensible landscape which seemed to both have land, sky, and then neither of the two at the same time, felt completely still. The twisting and incomprehensible colors remaining on a shadow, rainbow hue.

Countless appendages crawled out of the endless colors and shadows, darkness swirled, concentrating and expanding. Claws, shadows, fangs, eyes crawled all at the same time through the layers of Emptiness, swiftly bringing themselves in front of him.

Without even realizing it, he was thrown elsewhere, a Domain different than his own. And three powerful beings, all three of them encompassing one fragment of the Reality surrounding him, greeted him.

"Little darkling, are you lost?"

The All-Mother, the Aberrant Mother of a Thousand Young, the mass of darkness and the goat. A monstrous entity of pure obscurity with countless eyes and tentacles, and several legs that resembled the hoofs of goats… Shub-Niggurath.

"He brings something."

The Beyond-One, the Reader, the Omniscient Seer, the one above the others. An incredible powerful entity of pure power and knowledge with a form that could only be said to resemble the distortion of all creation… Yog-Sothoth.

"…"

And lastly but not least, The Nameless Mist, the Magnum Innominandum, a creation made of pure chaos, an entity that even commands other Outer Gods, a being of pure nothingness, of void incarnate… Nyog'Sothep.

"Ooohhh!"

The Endless Darkness couldn't help but feel utterly fascinated and in awe of their powerful corrupted presences. It worked! He was able to get their attention. The Three Lords of the Outer Deeps, the three strongest Outer Gods that governed all others within the Sea of Emptiness of this Dimension.

"It is an honor to meet your Aberrant and Incomprehensible Existences! I have brought-"

"We know."

Before he could speak any longer, their voices echoed at the same time, speaking inside of his mind and wounded soul. The fragment he carried was no longer carried by his tentacle-body, it suddenly disappeared, and was now floating in between the Three Outer Lords.

"Huh? Ah…!" The Endless Darkness tried to speak. "This is…! It's the fragment to Abyss! Where Noah might be!"

"Well done." Shub-Niggurath smiled with her countless jaws. "Only one fragment though?" Yog-Sothoth asked, slightly disappointed.

"…" Nyog'Sothep only watched in silence. "I-I couldn't procure anymore… That spawn of chaos had the other two, but I am sure that with one, it should be enough for you three?" The Endless Darkness asked.

The three Outer Gods kept swirling with their monstrous, amorphous bodies of incomprehensible shapes and sizes. The Outer Plane started to tremble, their very Auras of Void shaking its foundations. They have been waiting for this moment. For a long time now. And finally, the situation was presenting itself to them.

"That the Spawn of Chaos possesses the other two fragments was within our plans all along." Nyog'Sothep spoke with a faint voice like the mist itself. "That they're close to the Vessel of the Gate, too, was within what we calculated."

"Y-You calculated it?!" The Endless Darkness was shocked. "T-To be expected… Then, what do you plan to do now?"

"We shall move on with our next plan." Said Shub-Niggurath, smiling as her tentacles twisted, letting go black miasma of corrosive nature. "The Usurpers of Destiny… We shall cooperate with them, briefly. As long as we can get what we want." Yog-Sothoth said nonchalantly.

"If you're doing so, then allow me to accompany you. I will rip everything to shreds… A-As long as you can invest some of your powers into recovering my former self." The Eternal Darkness supplicated to them. "Please, as a reward for bringing you this, wouldn't it be a small gift?"

"A small gift…" Shub-Niggurath laughed. Her laughter echoed across the entire Outer Plane. "Yes, here is your gift, my dear child."

A titanic hoofed, black foot crushed what remained of the Endless Darkness, before he could even speak another word.

CRAAASH!
