Epic of Caterpillar
chapter-2395

Eduard and Michaela glanced at me and then decided to explain things as briefly as they could, they knew that we were in a hurry, so they decided to talk quickly.

"We are members of the Intergalactic Confederation," said Eduard.

"Specifically, soldiers that descend from the last bastion of humanity that once left your original world, Earth," said Michaela.

One was clearly a male over his thirties based on their voice alone, while the second was a younger female, perhaps in her early to mid-twenties. Eduard and Michaela were their names, rather simple human names, alright.

"Earth, Genesis, and Humanity... Huh," I nodded. "So you guys are descendants of the ancient humans as you stated previously, and belong to an Intergalactic Confederation born after these old humans flew away, right?"

"For a moment I thought you were machine lifeforms," I giggled.

"We are surprised you know the concept of robots..." said Eduard. "But yes."

"These aren't our real bodies but large Mechanical Body Suits," said the woman. "We are actually inside, protected from the hostile environment outside. As we said before, we can't come out."

"Oh, so you can't cultivate or level up guu?!" asked Rimuru. "But why are you so weak? Maybe Masta can share the Origin Sys-"

I covered Rimuru's mouth before she was to say anything else.

"Rimuru, it's better to keep the Origin System's a secret for now, alright?" I told her through telepathy.

"Aaah! Okay, my bad! S-Sorry!" she answered telepathically.

"I guess they're just plain ol' humans then! Hah!" Lilith smiled, walking into the scene while carrying her huge hammer. "I used to be one of your kind before, I was born a humble human girl, but thanks to my wifey I got super strong, evolving into a Chaotic Human first, then into the draconic goddess you see in front of you."

"Evolution through magical energies... It would be too risky for us to try," said Eduard.

"But this is wonderful to hear, so there's still original humans in Genesis!" said Michaela.

"Maybe, but you're all very weak, so I bet most are dead," said Brontes. "Unless they belong to a God's Divine Realm or something."

"Wait, no way! They're just humans?!" asked Nesiphae. "Those robots are too strong though, no? If they could heal Palami... They're surely powerful on their own right! Maybe stronger than what Charlotte can make?"

"The definitely are stronger than Charlotte's at least," I agreed. "But that might change one day."

"We are surprised you know about machines; the Confederation experts always theorized your world had gone back to a dark age where people held no technology and everyone fought using the strange alien powers that Genesis brought," Michaella said.

"But yes, we are indeed Humans. We've heard that our kind still prospers in your world, although a lot has happened through eons since we left after the invasion of the alien lifeform known as G.E.N.E.S.I.S., we've finally found our world and we wanted to come back..." said Eduard. "The Intergalactic Confederation had proposed an aggressive invasion as it catalogued all lifeforms within the New Earth as dangerous beings that could threaten our civilization."

"So you truly came back and want to conquer Genesis?!" I asked in disbelief. "Talk about a hyper aggressive come back..."

"Wait what?!" Zehe asked. "So let me get this straight! You are Humans from... Genesis? No, Earth? It was called like that before, huh? And then you came back after escaping once an... alien? Invaded? And now you got these robots and... Um, you want to take back your world from us? That doesn't make any sense anymore, do you know? Genesis isn't even like it used to be before. It has become something like its own macrocosm."

"Yes, we know it's ridiculous, and no, we don't want that," said Michaella. "We belong to the Peaceful Intergalactic Relationships Faction, the second largest political faction. We've been dispatching our forces to stop the Extremists to continue their genocidal invasion... But we ended landing in here. And a few things happened, to some of our companions, in specific... We're worried about them, and we needed the help of others to save them."

"But aside from that, we are normal humans, genetically enhanced, but we could never compare to beings such as you without the assistance of our machinery," said Eduard. "And yes, as my partner said, we require assistance... Someone, a native lifeform from this planet we ended stranding on has somehow brainwashed and enslaved several of our friends and their machines. We need someone to help us recover them, none of our technology can dispel the strange supernatural powers placed on them."

"So that's what happened!" I said. "So you want us to help you rescue your friends from... someone enslaving them? Huh... Wait, let me ask you this first. So you were sucked into Abyss, this world of Vampires?"

"Abyss? So this is the official world's name?" wondered Eduard. "Fascinating, is this the name given by the inhabitants?"

"Yeah, yes," I nodded.

"Amazing, so there's another world like this, which isn't actually visible in the Universe outside, now that I think about it, it is surrounded by a thick layer of strange clouds!" Michaella said.

"Yes, it is surrounded by an incredibly dangerous substance, aside from decayed void particles, there's also chaotic miasma," nodded Eduard. "According to previous analysis. Somehow this planet has been shielded from the outside universe through this thick layer of clouds, isolated from the stars and the cosmos."

"It has created a self-sustained terrarium of a world, even the laws of physics are greatly disturbed and altered through these alien energies," said Michaella. "Hah, so the one that captured our friends must be a vampire then... I can't believe beings of fantasy and fiction would be real."

"Anyways, we're trusting to you these secrets because we would want to forge a temporary alliance with your kind," she said. "With all of you, if possible..."

"Alliance?"

So that's their goal at the end I guess, the same speech they gave to Palami and Raito.

They had indeed helped a lot, so I might as well trust them for now.

If they dare step out of their boundaries though...

I'll gladly slap them like flies and steal their technology, so it's a win-win for me to keep

them close.

Hehe.
