Epic of Caterpillar

BAAAAAAMMM!!!

The Titanic Otherworldly Tentacle finally died, falling into the sand dunes, and stopping to move, now forever. And as of me? Well, we landed right over the sands as well, quickly separating once the temporary Fusion, accomplished through my newly awakened powers, ended.

POOOF!

All my Egos fell into the sand and felt completely exhausted, and so did Frank. Though whatever fever he had before seemed to have faded away after I shared the Elixir with hi through a rather lewd way.

"Hahhh… I feel much more relieved." He sighed. "And it\'s done too? Phew, I hope another one doesn\'t just pop out of nowhere again."

"Ugh, I want to sleep for the rest of the day…" I sighed, sitting over the soft sand.

"Thank you for healing me, Kireina. Usually I can drink a Cosmic Potion whenever I get this exhaustion, but I had drank them all yesterday…" Frank sighed. "I\'ll need to get myself some better potions, but anything too high-quality costs too much."

"You\'re not that good at Alchemy if you\'re just thinking on buying potions though, Frank." I sighed. "Geez, I guess I\'ll have to make you some new Elixirs using Cosmic Ingredients so you can feel better. But you\'ll cooperate with that Alchemy Pot, and also some materials…"

"You\'re willing to make some for me?" Frank wondered. Despite all of his powers, he always got everything through his system, be it potions or items, so he wasn\'t the best at crafting items nor doing alchemy, even if he had the skills for them, he had never had the time to practice them.

"Yep~ There\'s no helping it, isn\'t it?" I giggled. "What? Are you falling for me even more now~?"

"T-That\'s… well, it is certainly very charming you care so much for me…" Frank said, giving me a kiss. "Thanks, for real."

"Sheesh, do you want me to eat you alive tonight too?" I laughed.

"I mean, I wouldn\'t mind it…" He said while feeling slightly embarrassed.

Despite acting all tough and rude in the outside, or even a bit emotionless at times, Frank\'s inner self was very soft and rather adorable. I can\'t believe he\'s the same guy that tried to kill me because I had eaten his Cosmic Stone before. I\'ve completely tamed him! Heheh.

"Sure, I\'ll drain you dry tonight as well~" I said, standing up and stretching a bit. "Come to think of it, I\'ve been feeling slightly heavier since last night…"

"Heavier?" He wondered.

"Ah, nothing. Well, let\'s see- Huh?!"

Ding!

[The Special Effect of [Cosmic Chatterer] Title has been activated. Due to your victory against a Cosmic Entity\'s scheme, you can gaze back and see what they\'re doing.]

What is this?! I can see conversations between Cosmic Deities? This is amazing! But what is going on in here?

[The Cosmic Entity [Ruler of the Netherworld] is flabbergasted by Kireina\'s powers!]

[He blames everything to [Primordial Summoner of the Maxima Throne] for his Summoning Gates being of shitty quality, incapable of Summoning Stronger Undead!]

[The Universal Ruler [Primordial Summoner of the Maxima Throne] apologizes in front of the Cosmic Entity and kneels, asking for a second chance…]

Wait, what?! These two bastards are friends now? So the tentacle\'s gates that summoned undead were because of the Maxima Ruler?! Motherfucker…

[The Cosmic Entity [Ruler of the Netherworld] glares at the [Primordial Summoner of the Maxima Throne] while squinting his eyes.]

[He believes that Kireina is too strong, and that your efforts of defeating her seem far-fetched for someone so weak.]

["Why do you desire her death so badly?"]

[The Cosmic Entity [Ruler of the Netherworld] is waiting your response.]

[The Cosmic Entity [Ruler of the Netherworld] is waiting your response.]

[The Cosmic Entity [Ruler of the Netherworld] is waiting your response.]

[The Cosmic Entity [Ruler of the Netherworld] is waiting your response.]

[…]

Hoh, he\'s finally wondering why a random old man is so obsessed with me. I guess he has fallen for my charms while trying to kill me at this point, wouldn\'t be surprised if he wanted a piece of me.

[The Universal Ruler [Primordial Summoner of the Maxima Throne] explains his reasons and asks for the Cosmic Entity [Ruler of the Netherworld] to be more comprehensive.]

[The Cosmic Entity [Ruler of the Netherworld] laughs at your ridiculous reason.]

[He says he simply wants to devour Grand Terra and kill Kireina because she gets in the middle of his plans of conquering Genesis as well.]

[The Cosmic Entity [Ruler of the Netherworld] shows some interest in the [Primordial Summoner of the Maxima Throne]…]

[The Cosmic Entity [Ruler of the Netherworld] has thought about something that might work…]

[The Cosmic Entity [Ruler of the Netherworld] smiles.]

[…]

"Huh? It stopped?!" I cried. "It was finally getting good!"

Ding!

[You can no longer discern what the cosmic entities are talking about.]

[The Special Effect of the [Cosmic Chatterer] Title has been turned off for the next 24 Hours.]

"Aw come ooooon!" I complained to the heavens.

"K-Kireina? What\'s wrong?" Frank seemed confused as we made our way back to the giant tentacle.

"Ugh, so…" I ended explaining him what I saw, and my powers.

"I-I see… So it is a Title named Cosmic Chatterer?! I\'ve never seen it anywhere; it must be unique of you!" He said in surprise. "Amazing, you\'re just so strong and talented. How many powers do you even have? I feel like I don\'t even deserve you…"

"Ahahaha! Don\'t worry, it doesn\'t matter if you do or not." I giggled. "But instead of flirting and praising me, let\'s focus more on what just happened…"

"Right." Frank nodded. "This means that Maxima Ruler, the bastard that has been trying to kill you has made some sort of alliance with the Ruler of the Necrotic Plane, isn\'t he?"

"Yeah." I nodded. "We can expect them to come for us soon enough. We should take just a few days to rest and then move on. I am afraid they\'re targeting us in specific, as long as we move away from Goldsand, they\'ll stop attacking it."

"I suppose you\'re correct." Frank nodded. "It is a pity; it was already beginning to feel like home."

"Come on, we have yet to even reach our actual homes, don\'t get sentimental." I said. "Also, would you look at those big treasure chests!"

FLAAASH!

Frank\'s powers suddenly activated, as his System materialized treasure chests after we defeated that powerful Dungeon Boss-level Tentacle.
