Epic of Caterpillar

Chapter 1247 - Mammon And Flora

So it was indeed like that, the Demons had tried to literally conquer Genesis, these bastards were really the bad guys I guess, even the Archdemons and Lucifer… they all wanted this juicy planet for themselves… I suppose Mammon, as a greedy demon, still wants it? So he\'s just using me at the end?

Should I trust Flora? I wonder…

"Well, Demons are now commonplace so you can\'t really judge them anymore, instead of conquering our world they adapted to it and joined it alongside other living and unliving beings, now they\'re part of our world and cannot be easily removed, even now, you\'re part archdemon, and literally most of the people here too, right?" asked Aura.

"Indeed, I guess they were already integrated." I said.

"I still don\'t like them, they disrupt the natural order, how things were supposed to be! They changed everything and made it even worse." Said Flora.

"Well, haven\'t things changed too? Kireina just caused the Era of Chaos, which is changing everything again, are you going to blame her for that too? Then why are you her ally and you\'re trusting her now? Wouldn\'t make sense, right?" asked Aura.

Flora fell silent as she was suddenly cornered. Aura was an amazing smooth talker and an even better manipulator, using his mere words, he made Flora doubt herself.

"…It\'s not the same," she said pridefully.

"It\'s the same! Stop being so stubborn… Now Demons went from being invaders and enemies into part of our world, and they\'re even offering their help so we can fend off the new and actual invaders, such as the Necrotic Death Lords." Said Aura.

"I just can\'t believe that those malicious beings suddenly decided to protect Genesis." Said Flora.

"Well Mammon did said he wanted a piece of cake whenever I conquered it, but its not like he\'ll begin torturing people, he mostly wants profit from it, which he will get by absorbing energy but at the same time making the world produce more energy, he has some plans, but I\'ve already checked them, and they are not going to kill anybody." I said.

"I… Well…. I still can\'t really believe him, unless he speaks to me." Sighed Flora.

"Well, let me talk to you then, Flora."

The voice of Mammon came across the projection.

"What? Was he hearing us speak?!" asked Flora.

"Yeah it wasn\'t just a projection it is more of a video call." I said.

"What?! Kireina, did you purposedly did this to make him hear all I had to say?" asked Flora.

"Isn\'t that better? He even pretended to sleep." I said.

"Yeah~! Aren\'t I cute when I sleep~?" asked Mammon while winking back at Flora.

"Ugh… you\'ve really become different, I don\'t know if that\'s better or not though, you seem strange." Said Flora.

"Strange?! Agh, why do everyone say that? Can\'t you get how cute I am?" sighed Mammon.

"I get it!" I said while clapping my hands with my second body.

"And that\'s why you\'re part of my crew! Heh. I feel like Kireina is the only person with brain around Genesis!" Said Mammon.

"Tch! And what do you even know about us anyways? You just came to conquer us and take everything from us and now you\'re saying you want to help Kireina conquer everything and then just get a slice of the cake?!" asked Flora.

"Yep, that\'s what I want." Said Mammon.

"Do you truly believe I would believe you demons?! After all the lives you took? After all the family members you took away from me?! Do you think I am going to trust you? Perhaps Kireina was never affected by it, but I did." Said Flora.

"No I don\'t expect your trust I just expect you to believe Kireina, not me. Kireina is your friend, right? Not me. I am her friend, not yours." Said Mammon.

"Ah…!" muttered Flora.

"Believe in your friend\'s judgement for once." Said Mammon.

"Who are you even to lecture me around?" asked Flora.

"Look, Flora. We got a beef for a long time and all the other Archdemons wouldn\'t even care about holding a conversation with you, in fact the majority would laugh at you and call you a pathetic worm, but I am different, I am not someone so closed on my own retarded bubble because I am interested in something." said Mammon.

"Oh yeah, I wonder what it is…" sighed Flora.

"Of course, it is profit! Money!" laughed Mammon, while showing a money sign on his eyes.

"I want all the riches, I want infinite growth in resources, to fill my endless greed… So doing such a degrading thing as convincing you is within my ways of making money." Said Mammon.

"In resume he\'s doing it for me and masking it off as if it were for money." I said.

"W-What…?! Do you think the entire Universe goes around you or something, Kireina?!" asked Mammon.

"No I don\'t, but I know for a fact that you…!" I said, as I whispered into his ears.

He grew redder as he karate chopped my second body\'s head. Of course, it didn\'t hurt.

"S-Stop talking such embarrassing things, you perverted woman!" he cried.

"Huh? He\'s really tamed by Kireina." Said Flora.

"Indeed…" said Gaia.

"Wow, Kireina, you work fast." Said Ova.

"K-Kireina… You didn\'t do it… with him yet, right?" muttered Aura while feeling like he was heartbroken, he suddenly looked like he aged a billion years and had become a mummy…

"Eh? Of course not." I said.

"Hahh… I see." He said, gaining his youth and smiling radiantly.

"What happened to you?" I asked.

"N-Nothing…" he said while averting his gaze. His long and blonde hair shone brightly.

"Ugh, okay I give up, do whatever you want, I am escaping this damned planet anyways when everything is over." Said Flora.

"That\'s the spirit! Let\'s ruin the entire world and escape together, team!" I said.

After Flora finally decided to step back and stop being so hostile over my new demon friendship, I told her about the Demon Towers and showed her the Totems too.

"So they\'re technically dungeons that connect to Hell? Ugh they\'re horrible…" she had said at first.
