Epic of Caterpillar
chapter-2272

"My Sun… My… Ugh…"

The Sun God calmed down after the euphoria he felt recessed, his countless eyes quickly noticed his own body and how much it had changed. He felt horror over his own form, but then felt the power surge, and thought that it was fine to look like this.

As long as he could fulfill his greatest desire, to kill the Blood and the Moon Goddess and all Vampires in the world of Abyss.

"My Sun is gone, and this damned world… It's all full of darkness and vampires… An Eternal Night?! I can't believe… I can't believe she would betray me like this! That whore…!" he kept groaning, his form constantly changing shape. "UUUGGHHH…! NOW I AM STUCK IN THIS DAMNED FORM! AARRGHH! AND YOU! WHERE ARE YOU?!"

His personality kept shifting, his attitude going from sorrowful to frustrated, and then back to furious and mad. The Sun God everyone knew about was long gone, and what remained was a twisted shell of his former self.

The Recessed, who had attempted to run away the moment he woke up, were now trapped within the Divine Domain he had created. The Underdark now had become a realm of light and clouds, resembling what was once his own Realm, Heaven.

"You cannot escape me, YOU PATHETIC CHILDREN!"

As he roared, the Recessed were quickly forced to confront him, unable to escape, and with their moving fortresses destroyed, there was no other option.

They appeared, only a handful, then a dozen, then hundreds, all gathered before his enormous body of over a kilometer of height. He was so large he seemed like a sun himself.

"Father Sun… We are honored to finally see your return!"

The Elders of the Recessed immediately went to praise him, but "Father Sun" only watched at his children with contempt and then… disgust.

"Is this what you've become after eons? Just like me, your bodies, your divine beings, you've been twisted into obscene and aberrant forms… Unacceptable!"

The Recessed recoiled as they sensed his enormous pressure and aura, their strength simply couldn't compare to their Father Sun, who was so overwhelming it even made the Elders tremble in fear.

"Indeed, although those that weren't killed have been able to awake from our seals, we've appeared in these aberrant shapes…" sighed one of the Elders, an aberrant octopus-like Recessed with yellow color and black rings around his tentacles, and a single, big crimson eye. "W-we… we are no longer the same majestic entities we once were. But these forms, they have also given us great new power, Father Sun! Please… we implore you to not see us as monsters."

"I don't," said Father Sun, glaring at his children. "As you can see, I've also become as aberrant as you! This damned curse… NO, WAIT!"

Then, his pressure became even stronger and overwhelming, his children could barely resist it, some of them started feeling cracks spread through his soul.

"YOU…! ALL OF YOU, TRAITOROUS CHILDREN!" he roared. "Despite having all the power to free me… YOU NEVER DID IT! Why… Why did you had to wait for an outsider to come steal my Sun so I could free MYSELF?! HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN ALL YOUR LOYALTY TO ME, YOUR FATHER AND CREATOR?!"

With each word, shockwaves of tremendous power kept coming out of his body, pressuring and forcing them to speak and kneel before his divine might.

"W-We… We've been trying!"

"But we lacked forces, we wanted to greet you with a large army, Father Sun!"

"Please forgive us…!"

The Elders were of course lying. Since they awakened as Recessed that they had no intention of saving their father, they wanted all the power for themselves, and even planned no devouring his sealed body, they had been discussing how to divide his divine body between all the Elders, and one of the reasons why Demiurgus wanted to betray them was to get all of it for himself.

Eventually, their entire plan to become the new Gods of Abyss ended going to the gutter, as the Sun God awakened and freed himself, way ahead of anybody's expectations! Now, they were left completely below his mercy.

"YOU'RE LYING…! YOU'RE ALL LYING, YOU GARBAGEEEE!"

His rage exuded from his body, as his Divine Radiance burned all the Recessed bodies. They panicked, as several of them quickly realized the Sun God wasn't right in his head, he could not think rationally anymore, he was trying to kill them!

"Dammit!"

The Recessed quickly unleashed their Cosmic Auras, clashing against their father. They quickly realized there was no point to continue pretending they wanted to serve him. They conjured and unleashed their strongest attacks, bombarding their own father with countless cosmic explosions.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"INSOLENTS! YOU DARE FIGHT BACK?! IT'S USELESS!"

The Sun God was merciless against his own children, his body extending and growing larger, as hundreds of enormous, muscular arms made of yellow and white light moved down rapidly, clashing against the Recessed, their Domains of Cosmic Energy were quickly shattered like glass.

Crack, crack…!

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

With each domain that shattered, the Sun God absorbed the cosmic powers and burned the Recessed with his overwhelming light. Every single one of them ended falling before his almighty strength.

Not even the Elders, who attempted to distort space and escape could do so, as the Sun God detected them ahead of time, grabbing them with his endless hands and then moving them close to his body.

"Uuuaaggh! Have mercyyy!"

"I once fought to protect all of you, my children…" he suddenly became sorrowful again. "But you… You've changed… You no longer care about our bond; you no longer care about the loyalty you owe to me! You're monsters…!"

"No, please… Wait, Father Sun!"

"Uuuaaggh! Have mercyyy!"

"W-We will do anything you say, you don't need to kill us!"

As the Elders of all shapes and sizes struggled to survive, the endless eyes of the Sun God seemed joyful.

"Oh, but I don't plan to kill you. I plan improve you… And to give you back the loyalty you once had for me!"

The Sun God opened his countless jaws, devouring his own children one after another.

His entire body started to crush their bodies and then fuse them with his divine powers.

Slowly, they didn't die, but changed, evolved, transformed…

"This is only the beginning, my children!"
