Epic of Caterpillar

Within the confines of the Sea of Emptiness, countless eyes, as big as galaxies themselves, glanced through the endless boundaries, their eyes set in the Spiritual Plane, as a battle between many Worlds was undergoing in this very moment.

Their shapeless, amorphous bodies wriggled in anticipation and excitement at what was happening, fully knowing that one of their kin was selfishly invading this place… It was within their plans for one of them to do it anyways.

"The chess pieces are assembling into place one after another…"

"Amidst this chaotic ordeal, it seems that things are slowly beginning to shape as they said."

"Naturally, the Usurpers of Destiny that exist beyond our Boundaries are never wrong."

"Destiny itself is shaping itself before Kireina and her family… It is moving around her, and even these chaotic events will attain a meaning."

"A meaning we shall happily benefit from!"

"Every action she does will leave a mark; our Reality will never be the same…"

"The Vessel for the Portal has been born, the Fragments will soon come together."

"The child of Azathoth which we failed to devour back then… We shall feast!"

"If we can devour the True Child of our Creator, surely…"

"We will no longer be his mere shadows!"

As these aberrant beings planned strange and incomprehensible schemes, within the Seas of Atlantis, everyone was clashing with intensity against the might of Oceanus.

Despite having been damaged severely by Gaby's techniques in combination with her Ego Armor and Gubo, he was still standing, his large soul being incredibly tough!

Even after having received so much damage, he was fighting as if nothing, Poseidon and Gaby were extremely powerful in their forms too, together they were on a stalemate against him.

"What's wrong?! You're getting slower, you bastards!" Laughed Oceanus, his endless sea shaping into countless of fists, spears, and swords, and rapidly descending against Gaby and Poseidon.

CLAAASH! CLAAASH! CLAAASH! CLAAASH! CLAAASH! CLAAASH!

However, a huge slash of pure lightning and storming seas reached the fists, slashing them all apart and making them explode midair!

SLAAAAASSSHHH!!!

"Slower? We're just starting!" Gaby smiled, rushing towards Oceanus like a golden lightning, her swords slashing through all his tricks and constantly breaking apart his vessel, her lightning piercing his soul each time one of her blows hit his vessel! "[Divine Savage Shark Queen Double Blade Arts]: [Primordial Thunderous Megalodon King Jaws]!"

A dance of slashing sword attacks descended upon Oceanus as his very soul was suddenly beginning to be bitten by a gigantic shark made of lightning and ocean divinity, enchanted even further with Gaby's mighty Daos of Dual Sword Wielding, Dao of Thunderstorms, and Dao of Sea Storms!

CRAAASH! CRAAASH! CRAAASH! CRAAASH!

"What's wrong?! You're the one getting slower, bastard!" Poseidon reached Oceanus like a clashing ocean wave, his Divine Aura overflowing with his Dao of Oceans and his Dao of Sea Waves, as each of his attacks were like a deadly sea clashing against Oceanus' own! "[Primordial Ocean King's Trident Arts]: [Atlantean Sea's Wrath]!"

CLAAASH! CLAAASH! CLAAASH! CLAAASH!

"URGH…!" Oceanus groaned in pain, his soul taking more and more damage, and it wasn't regenerating either! Above all, he couldn't properly control the full extent of his oceanic powers with Aarae constantly interrupting him or stopping him. "Dammit! Am I really going to be defeated after my resurrection?! This is absolutely ridiculous! No! I won't let this happen!"

Oceanus was growing frustrated, but he also had a plan. One he was executing right now as he was fighting Gaby and Poseidon with as much strength as he could, making them think he was being cornered over time.

Meanwhile, in another part of the battlefield, Aarae and Ervin continuously fought against the Tritonian Warriors, each one of over ten meters of height and carrying might divine weapons born from the sea itself.

They were protecting the huge ghost ship, which was also bombarding the warriors as they came, the Sea Gods sitting over them were the frailer ones they were protecting, which were helping the ghost ship with their Divine Energy.

"Die, you new Gods! You don't belong here!"

"Our King shall rise again and become the King of Genesis!"

"You lowly creatures, die!"

The Tritonian warriors charged full strength against them, as Aarae and Ervin swiftly swam around the ghost ship, constantly clashing against them with weapons and magic.

"You will not get any closer!" Aarae said mightily, with the grace and strength of a young queen of the seas. "[Primordial Sea Witch Queen Magic]: [Oceanic Judgement]!"

SPLAAAAASSSHHH!!!

The Seas shook furiously as they quickly shaped into countless of gigantic sharks, reaching the Tritonian Warriors and biting them, tearing them apart one after another!

FLUOOOSH!

At the same time, the Oceans swirled into several tornadoes of oceanic water, reaching into the skies, and clashing against Oceanus own Sea Magic, stopping it in midair and constantly foiling his attempts at overwhelming Gaby and Poseidon.

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

"Hahhh…" However, Aarae was pushing herself too much, Ervin noticed how tired she was getting by channeling the Ocean Tear's Fragment powers. And also having to both fight the foes in front of her and assist her mother.

"Aarae, that's enough! Stop overexerting yourself!" Ervin said with worry on his blue eyes, noticing hundreds of Tritonian Warriors approaching. "Dammit! Why don't you cut it off already?! [Divine Ocean Prince's Trident Arts]: [Oceanic Harpooning]!"

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

Ervin galloped across the seas as he moved at lightning speed, his trident piercing the bodies of the Tritonian Warriors, covering their bodies with countless holes as his trident resembled a gigantic harpoon hunting them. Their souls were shattered, and they couldn't revive anymore.

CRAAASH! CRAAASH! CRAAASH! CRAAASH!

Despite having started with a very humble origin and being a literal nobody, Ervin had continued growing stronger ever since Kireina accepted his tribe and kin inside her Divine Realm after conquering the Dungeon created by Morpheus, the Centaur beast god.

"Catch her!"

"Kill her, she's the one holding the jewel!"

"If we can slay her, our King shall reward us bountifully!"

Suddenly he noticed several Tritonian Warriors surrounding Aarae when he had to move away from her to slay the ones coming from behind!

She already looked too exhausted, barely being able to react to them, and quite late at that!

"AARAE!"
