Epic of Caterpillar

Chapter 2249 Infiltration

Demiurgus was furious the spider monstrosity had come knocking at his door so shamelessly.

He had been having a good conversation with fellow Recessed that were smart like him, or at least acceptably smart.

But he truly hated the spider monstrosity, she was utterly stupid, obsessed with sexual intercourse, and with being impregnated and having children.

She was disgusting even for these disgusting beings such as the Recessed!

However, she insisted on entering.

"I\'ve learned new information about the Third Elder~ It seems Erdretoth was hiding a few things," Ashatath giggled. "Did you thought I was wooing him for no reason, little Demiurgus?"

"What?!" Demiurgus gasped. "Y-You learned something about the Third Elder? What is it? Did you learn the Divine Runic Arrangement of his Barrier? Perhaps with this we can…"

"First things first, why don\'t you let your good friend inside, hm?" Ashatath asked. "I know I am not really… liked anywhere, but I still have loyalty to you, Demiurgus, you were the person that awoke me from the graveyard and helped me regain my consciousness."

"…That\'s right, I suppose," Demiurgus sighed.

"Then? Then?" Ashatath insisted.

Demiurgus began to ponder. "Have I been underestimating Ashatath? Perhaps she\'s smarter than I imagined. Using her might be useful."

"Demiurgus, are you there?!" Ashatath screamed.

"I\'m here, you damned woman, wait a bit!" Demiurgus sighed. "Okay, come in!"

The giant black gates opened in front of Ashatath, as she quickly entered, moving her giant spider legs as she walked across the walls towards her destination.

Her shadows flickered in that moment, several figures moving away, covered on veils of Illusion of the highest cosmic quality achievable for her.

"I\'m here! Hello Demiurgus- Oh?"

Ashatath looked slightly taken aback, as she noticed that Demiurgus was not alone.

Sitting around the table there were two other Recessed.

"Well, if it isn\'t Ashatath from all people…" Sighed the burly Kashtan, the Eighth Elder.

"Hoh, so you said you\'ve found valuable information about the Third Elder, Ashatath? Was your whole thing with that lesser, what was his name again? Erdretoth? Was it all to get his info?" Asked the old-looking Asthartez, the Ninth Elder.

"Was it, Ashatath?" Demiurgus asked, directing his gaze towards her, who was sitting on his black throne.

"Yes, that\'s right," Ashatath nodded, quickly sitting down in front of Demiurgus. "I\'ve found valuable information…"

And she wasn\'t lying, after having eaten Erdretoth, Kireina, the true identity behind this fake Ashatath, had learned a lot of his information through his memories.

One of such things were the "passwords" to "hack" the many barriers that the other Recessed had, apparently Erdretoth, due to being so dumb and reliable, was trusted with such secrets by the Elders.

They had placed Oaths on him for his trust, which were not destroyed as they simply passed on to Kireina. But Kireina simply isolated them into bubbles inside her Soul, completely negating their effects without alerting their creators.

Kireina was a master of Soul Manipulation after all, such a thing was not hard for her.

However…

"This wasn\'t what I expected…" She thought. "Demiurgus is not alone, but has the other two Elders with him right now? There was no such meeting scheduled… Or well, Ashatath was simply not invited."

Kireina was confident that with her powers she could fight Demiurgus, struggle, but ultimately win.

However, with the presences of Kashtan and Asthartez, things changed.

They became much more dangerous; the variables were too many.

As she continued to reveal them what she learned, she continued pondering and calculating her chances.

"It doesn\'t seem easy at all…" she thought.

Kireina felt nervous.

She had been caught off-guard.

Kireina was no longer dealing with the stupid Gods of Genesis anymore.

She knew these Recessed were powerful beings and with great intelligence and cunningness.

Back then she was bold against even the Gods, she knew she could win with enough effort and manpower at her side.

But now that she had expanded her boundaries to the Outer Cosmos, the game was flipped on its head, powerful and unimaginable beings wandered every corner!

Could her power be enough to deal with three Elder Recessed at the same time?

She wasn\'t alone though, there were many of her allies, and if it was needed, she could even summon more from her World Realm.

Although she was nervous, she wasn\'t panicking.

"There are chances though, as long as I use all my abilities, and the help of my friends and family…" she pondered. "I\'ve already sent those that would set the Formation, so it\'s not like I can freely retreat now. To retrieve them now would easily alert them, yeah, there\'s no other chance than to gamble this away."

Kireina considered everything she could do, and thought she had a decent chance of winning, as long as she abused every power she could, and relied in the abilities of her family and friends.

There was a good chance…

But there was also a good chance of losing and dying.

"Thank you for the information, Ashatath," Demiurgus seemed pleased. "

"It looks like we\'ve underestimated you," said Kashtan.

"Nevertheless, even with this, your value hasn\'t truly increased that much, unfortunately," Asthartez said.

"Hm?" Ashatath looked back at Demiurgus. "What might you mean by that, Demiurgus?"

"Your existence is better off as resources, Ashatath, our resources, our strength…" Demiurgus said with a cold tone of voice. "Don\'t worry… It shall be painless."

Ashatath suddenly realized her surroundings began to change, three Cosmic Domains clashed against her! Her eyes widened, as the three Recessed moved to attack her at lightning speed.

"I\'ll finally get to crush this disgusting bug!" Laughed Kashtan, his enormous stone arms swinging down.

"Hohoho! I call dibs on her tender soul!" Laughed Asthartez.

"Kill her quickly, don\'t torture her!" Demiurgus roared, his Aura shifting into dozens of spears made of blood-red energy. "Goodbye, Ashatath!"

BOOOM!

With the combined attacks of three Recessed at once, Ashatath was engulfed on a powerful explosion, her entire body falling into pieces.

"She was completely caught off guard, how pathetic," Laughed Kashtan.

"Now, where is that tender soul of yours? Hm?" Asthartez wondered, his long wooden fingers stretching towards Ashatath.

However, as the smoke dissipated, something came.

A powerful presence.

A blinding light.

Flames, ice, winds, darkness, chaos!

CRASH!

A giant hammer pummeling down, crushing the old Recessed\'s head into pieces.

SLASH!

And a blazing axe slicing his arms off and burning the rest of his body with demonic flames.

"W-What?! Aaarrgghh!"

Asthartez was utterly shocked, screaming in agony.

"What\'s going on?! Is that Ashatath\'s powers?!" Kashtan panicked.

"No, you fool! We\'ve been fooled! That was never Ashatath!" Demiurgus panicked, quickly conjuring several protecting barriers, protecting himself from an endless barrage of elemental attacks.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Demiurgus managed to retreat in time, but Kashtan and Asthartez were caught in the rapid fire, their bodies being burnt, frozen, sliced, and torn to pieces.

Kireina knew they were strong, and she was giving them absolutely no time to act.

And she made sure to bring all her allies too.

"Time to play, motherfuckers."

Gaby appeared above Kashtan, her lightning swords swinging down as her void shark aura surged, biting through the Recessed\'s stone exterior.

"What the…?! Uuaargh!"

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

"Die!"

Alice surged behind Asthartez like a ray of crimson lightning, her powerful magic was unleashed at once, a gigantic crimson dragon made of red lightning engulfing the Recessed completely.

"T-This is…?!"

BOOOM!
