Epic Of Caterpillar

”What?! But there were only three Clones… One went to the Dark Steppes and is fighting Hephaestus, the other is fighting the Four Graces, and the other is helping the Empireʼs population escape somewhere else! Where did this fourth one come from!? But even then, you should have been able to defeat them!” said Thanatos.

”Not… exactly…” sad Jozrath.

”Eh?! What do you mean not exactly, Jozrath?!” asked Thanatos, he was beginning to get so angered that his entire body was leaking malicious darkness from within.

”Well, the Gods… even the Gods possessed a special set of armors that covered their bodies and let them transform into giant metallic creatures. Even Morpheus was strong enough to fight against the Demigods… The worst part does not end at that, as they were incredibly coordinated to be Gods that had only joined forces in less than a year. It was incredibly baffling… This Kireina Clone used its Spatial Magic to manipulate space amazingly well, and slowly let the group of Gods gang over the Demon Demigods one by one…” said Oculus.

Thanatos was already raging!

His black metallic claws began to crack into his gigantic stone throne, breaking it apart as boulder-sized rocks fell into the vast dark landscape.

Boom!

”This… All of them were killed?! But how?” asked Thanatos.

”We presume that Kireina might have the power to share her Divinity Devouring with anyone, even the Gods… who were clearly… eating… the Demigods,” said Oculus.

”Thatʼs… DO you mean they actually ate them?! Even if their divinities were different?!” asked Thanatos in disbelief, he really thought he was one of the few that had reached such a stage, but it seems that already many Gods were eating other Gods left and right, all thanks to Kireina!

”Indeed. They ate them. The strategy they used was… quite cunning. They slowly caught each Demigod and ate them, strengthening themselves and then going for the other… After they had eaten all six of them, they might even rival our strength now… We had to escape, as the variables of winning with such a proficient Spatial Magician there were dimmer…!” said Oculus.

”It really pains me to admit it, Thanatos-sama! I am deeply sorry for this…! I will make sure to amend for my failure!” said Jozrath.

”Kireina… Did she somehow predicted my plans?! No… She simply was prepared several steps ahead of me, even if she did not know about my plans, she was so prepared that… It felt as if she saw through me! That mortal is not ordinary at all, not at all!” roared Thanatos, crushing his throne and standing up!

He was so enormous that his body size was similar to a Titan God, and as he grew more enraged, he grew even bigger, reaching already over one hundred meters, Oculus and Jozrath looked like tiny dogs in comparison to his immense body and prowess!

Although Thanatos was on a similar Rank as a God, the power difference was clear… Thanatos was already at the pinnacle of a God, almost reaching the last Stage!

He simply needed to amass a large quantity of Divine Power and finally break through… but the opportunities were now quickly disappearing before his eyes.

Kinesis who was glancing at this decision to speak…

”Do not worry, Thanatos, we shall find another way, I am sure of it,” he said with reassuring words that somehow made Thanatos a bit more at ease… despite what he was truly planning.

These events all going wrong for Thanatos were perfect for him after all.
