Epic of Caterpillar

Chapter 1030 - [The Fated Holy War] 18/?: A Deal

However, Kireina only willed it and she came back to life.

Kireina, each time she ate a God, didn\'t assimilate their consciousness now but copy-pasted them into her own, leaving the original ones sleeping within her soul abyssal depths.

She had already revived some gods by reconstructing their consciousness through her own, but this method was way easier.

Of course, everything else within them died except their consciousness, the only thing left from their very selves.

One could say that when your consciousness dies, you die forever. Even if your soul reincarnates, you stop being you and become something else, therefore, your original self dies, and what you become is not really you, but someone else entirely.

Therefore, as long as her consciousness was kept without being destroyed into pieces, she would be able to revive.

She couldn\'t believe it, but after the abyssal darkness greeted her consciousness and she fell into eternal slumber, she quickly came back. In fact, it hasn\'t even been ten minutes since she died and she was already opening her eyes once more.

She couldn\'t believe what was happening, she suddenly felt like she was drowning inside something filled with sticky and sweet nectar. She swallowed it unintentionally but found that by doing so, she grew in strength. So she ended drinking everything without even thinking as if it were addictive…

She had never felt this alive before.

After that, Ova\'s arms moved upwards, tearing apart where she was, finding herself atop an immense tree of astronomical proportions, the ground below her was very far, she was even above the clouds themselves, but even within the clouds, different colored clouds emerged in layers, as countless beasts roamed everywhere, there were immense floating islands the size of continents everywhere… for a moment, she thought she might have somehow reincarnated in another world, starting anew.

Of course, she quickly dissipated such assumptions as she remembered something.

She had just died some minutes ago, and this place had the essence of divine energy, this was a divine realm.

"Where am I…? Didn\'t Kireina killed me?" she wondered. She checked her body as she felt the overflowing power of Life and Nature within her, but not as much as before. This was definitely a new body, but it was still Great Goddess, although it was only Rank 1, and the number of attribute particles it had didn\'t surpass 10k. However, because Law Comprehension and Dao Comprehension were based on experience, knowledge, and enlightenment, she retained such powers, although the Dao Fragments were not there anymore, she could reconstruct the fragments after some time.

But without the attribute particles to back her up, she was as weak as a newborn caterpillar…

"Ova, wake up!"

She suddenly remembered hearing that voice when she opened her eyes, as she heard it once more.

She looked into the ground and then, a figure emerged behind her, and teleported her away, completely nude, right in front of Kireina.

"Ah! Eh? What…? Kireina? You… What? What is this?" asked Ova. She was completely clueless. Not even a Great Goddess such as her thought that it was possible to revive even after having her entire soul eaten. But here she was, back in the flesh!

"Hello Ova, our first encounter was not on the best terms. I\'ve inherited all of your powers and legacy, and I intend to recruit you into my Pantheon. Oh right, I revived you," said Kireina.

"H-How can you revive people after eating their souls?! T-Then your subordinates… were right when they were saying that they could revive all those they killed…" said Ova.

"Indeed, you\'re the key for me to learn and quickly use your Totems, and your Dao Fragments correctly. Ah, this is the Maxima Summon I summoned using your Dao of Summoning Fragment. It is very strong, I named it Bubu," said Kireina, as a little Caterpillar crawled out of her bouncy and large breasts, Ova didn\'t understand what she was even talking about until she remembered that Kireina had the power to devour anything, this seems to even include Dao Fragments, Attribute Particles, and even Law Comprehension!

To boot, she upgraded the Fragment of the Dao of Summoning that cost her so much to get and even summoned a Maxima Summon, something she never managed to do because she lacked enough Dao Comprehension!

At first, Ova glanced at Bubu with curiosity and disbelief. How could a caterpillar be a Maxima Summon? From the inheritance where she got the fragment, Maxima Summon was said to be incredibly powerful and intimidating beings that originated from a completely different Universe, their power and appearances were incredibly, and they were the greatest and most powerful beings of their universe!

But this… caterpillar was one?!

However, that disbelief only lasted a few seconds as she suddenly realized that this entity was merely concealing its presence, the moment Kireina told Bubu to unleash its true presence, Ova fell over her knees and began to tremble in horror.

"T-Three….! Three… Fully Comprehended Daos?! And such… a gigantic amount of Attribute Particles! W-What… what is that?! A Supreme God?!"

"I already told you it\'s my Maxima Summon. Its name is Bubu… Now, let\'s continue with our previous conversation. Why did I revive you? Well, to aid me," said Kireina.

"Aid you? But we just were killing each other a few minutes ago!" said Ova.

"So what? I don\'t really care, nor do I have any grudges against you," said Kireina.

"T-That\'s… Really? Even when I killed many of your army members?" asked Ova.

"Oh, those were already revived long ago," said Kireina.

"A-Ah… Unbelievable… Your power, resources, and capabilities all exceed a Great Goddess…. Kireina, what are you really?!" asked Ova.

"Me? I am the humble daughter of the Primordial Deity of Chaos," said Kireina.

"WHAT?! Then it was true! I never believed it when Agatha said it… To think that you were actually the daughter of Chaos…" said Ova.

"Now, enough of me. Let\'s make a deal, you help me create Totems and fight against Agatha and I revive all your children and make you one of my Generals, you can enjoy a leisure life here, and after I gather enough power, I think I can restore your full strength," said Kireina.

"A deal…?"

Ova began to consider what to do. She had just died and lost everything, everyone probably assumed she was dead now, and most likely all her children and the entire pantheon were gone too. Kireina\'s Divine Realm also possessed her divine realm fused into it, and it had now grown incredibly big now, even bigger than before, she had lost everything but Kireina, the one that took everything from her, had given her the opportunity to regain a part of it and also revive all her fallen children if she were to aid her and swear her loyalty to her…

But even then, wouldn\'t Ova hold grudges against Kireina? Wouldn\'t she try to betray her if she had the opportunity? Wouldn\'t she deny it because of all the horrible things she suffered against Kireina? Wouldn\'t she eat her because she took everything from her and killed her miserably?

It was normal to think that.

It was very normal to imagine that she would have such a thought. After all, she was a proud Great Goddess who has lived thousands of years with her children, she had an immense superpower with her pantheon and ruled a large part of the realm, she was known all across the other Realms, the entire world of Genesis!

She had almost mastered her Law Comprehension of two attributes, her attribute particles were of an immense quality after she gathered them for thousands of years, her divine techniques were incredibly refined and sharpened after she had created them and enhanced them for thousands of years, and she had even grasped three Daos, forming three Fragments… Hell, she had even created her own Dao! If she had just kept going, she would have become a Dao Architect and become an incredibly powerful Supreme Goddess of Totems, with her Dao of Totem and her powerful Totems, she would have become incredibly mighty and powerful, and even the old Supreme Gods would be wary of her might…

If only it has been a bit longer… But now, everything was stripped from this very abyssal being in front of her. Wouldn\'t it be normal to hate her to the very bone of her existence?

However, due to the circumstances, Ova had already given up on such grudges and thoughts. Since she died that she made peace with herself, and although it was an agonizing death, she had no regrets after dying. She had lived her life to the fullest and died by trying to grow even stronger and protect her territory. It was a fulfilling life, a long and fulfilling life.

Hating the strong that defeated was only a thing that cowards did. In nature, the strong devoured the weak, there wasn\'t any point in holding a grudge against someone that was stronger than you and that just defeated you to devour you and grow stronger so it could survive. Kireina didn\'t kill other beings out of pleasure (most of the time), but it was for her own survival.

This was just the law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest. Ova was not fit enough to survive in the end, got defeated, and eaten…

But now, she was given the chance by the strong that devoured her to come back to life and remake her life anew, and she even offered to give her back all the pups that were lost in the journey, and even promised her to try and bring her former strength back to her whenever she got strong enough…

Was there any point in… denying such an offer?

"Heh… Haha… Hahahahahaha!"

Ova, against all of Kireina\'s expectations, began to laugh. Her enormous half-Titaness body sat cross-legged and completely nude before Kireina, as she smiled with her beautiful face at Kireina.

"Kireina, you\'re interesting… You\'re an interesting woman! I like you," said Ova.

"Eh?"

What did she just say?

"Excuse me?" asked Kireina in disbelief, even Bubu was shocked!

"I like you! You\'re incredible! Just… what kind of being are you? I can\'t help but feel like my life is about to get turned upside down even more than it is now… Fine! Let\'s do it, I will become your ally, Kireina, you just do what you promised me!" said Ova.

"Heh, you\'re a handful, aren\'t you?" sighed Kireina.

Unexpectedly, a new friendship has been forged between former mortal enemies.
