Epic Of Caterpillar

”I am; however, I can only talk directly like this to my descendants! The ones possessing my bloodline, and you, a complete stranger, somehow has it…! What is this trickery?! How can you eat my Yiksu, who somehow doesnʼt have a soul, and obtain my bloodline?!”

”You know what, youʼre getting very annoying…”

I manipulated the landscape of my Dream, and by using Illusion and Hypnosis Magic, I exerted a powerful force towards Jormungandr eyes.

Blast!

”Gah! H-How could you damage me?! Mere mortal, know your place!”

”Calm down, snake. Letʼs negotiate, I have a lot of juicy info that could help you out, and I could even find a way to free your precious little descendant…”

Jormungandrʼs eyes shined brightly with a cunning light.

”I can see through your intentions, youʼre not lying… There is indeed a way to save my little Yiksu? Speak!”

”Alright, but I will only speak if you accept my negotiation offer… And to make things more reassuring, letʼs use the life of your Yiksu”

”Hmmph! Alright…! What do you want, mice?!”

”Youʼre from Helheim?”

”I am… It is the Realm that I and my sister govern…”

”Your sister, is Hel, right? Well, I got a companion that wants a specific soul, can we go pick it up later on? Hopefully without her interfering”

”What are you talking about?! Hel would never let you take her precious souls! Helheim is her playground; you canʼt simply enter and grab whatever you want from here!”

”Thatʼs why, youʼre his brother, right? Convince her to let me take that soul”

”Ghh! I-I canʼt… Me and Hel… We have different statuses… I am a Rank 4 Demi-God, while Hel is a true Goddess of Rank 8…”

”Oh? Is there some hierarchy between godly beings?”

”Not of your concern, mice!”

”Sigh… Can you at least do something? Are you really scared of your sister? Donʼt you want Yiksu back with you? Itʼs very sad what has happened to her…”

”I-I… Yiksu…”

Jormungandr seemed to hesitate for a moment, but in the end, he gave in.

”Alright… I canʼt convince her, itʼs impossible. Hel as a different personality, she isnʼt a reasonable Goddess… However, I can facilize things for you, or at least, give you some time for you and your companion to grab that soul… Details shall come when I can talk with my Yiksu again!”

”Oh?! That was easier than I expected, you really love your descendant. I comprehend you; I do have a family as well…”

”I donʼt care what the family of a mere mouse is! Now, talk!”

”Oof, what a personality you have, how old are you?”

”My age?! Seventy Hundred Thousand Years, you donʼt even have a year of age, mice… Now talk, if not…”

”Alright, alright… You know that the God of Sand and Earth made his own dungeon in Vida, right?”

”I do… What does he have to do with anything?! Heʼs a god that does not belong to any pantheon, a loner”

”Well, surprise surprise, he grabbed your precious descendant and put her into the endless cycle of reincarnation inside the Dungeon as a Boss…!”

”G-Gaah?! M-My Yiksu… such destiny… She has always been so reckless… However, that means that you can save her?! But how can a mortal even take…”

”Luckily, I gained a nice skill that lets me steal Dungeons… I will rescue your precious descendant, and I will hold her with me for now, until we travel to Helheim”

”A Skill that steals Dungeons…?! Y-Youʼre lying… No, youʼre not lying, I can see through your mind, youʼre an outstanding mouse…! You talk so much nonsense, but they are all true… Hm?! Blessed by the System Master…!”

”Oh? It seems that youʼre seeing my value now, how about it?”

”Not bad! As long as you save my descendant… I will support you in your journey to Helheim… But you better maintain my descendant safe, and donʼt dare touch her! You have strange kinks, mortal…”

”Huh, you can really see through everything in my mind it seems…”

”Not everything… There is something about you that I cannot fathom. An outstanding mortal like you should have his own secrets, I suppose…”

Does he mean the memories of Earth, he canʼt see them? Phew…

”So? Ainʼt I a good descendant?!

”Tsk! Weʼll see about that, mice! Make sure to treat my descendant with care! She is a pesky girl… Ahem, alright. You better not fail, or I will make sure to curse your family for generations! All of your descendants shall have nightmares for the rest of their lives!”

”Donʼt worry, I keep my promises… Mostly”

”Youʼre not lying, partially… That Redgaria, he was blessed by my sister, yet he hates her? Mortals are such unethical beings… He should be careful… Hel is not a simple goddess…”
