Epic of Caterpillar

Chapter 2300  The Crimson Moon Fox Empress, Iris

-----

The Crimson Moon Fox Empress sharp eyes glanced at her daughter, Eleanora was standing still, floating above the skies as several Lesser Outer Gods surrounded her. Iris squinted her eyes, realizing something odd was happening.

Why weren't they attacking her, but only looking at her with fear and…

Reverence?

Iris smiled even more wickedly, realizing the truth of what was happening.

"Oh my, isn't she full of surprises?"

Eleanora glanced at the Outer Gods, who couldn't lift their heads to face her, their movements, everything was sealed with Eleanora's very presence.

"You've been bad, very bad," she said. "You shouldn't have come bothering our peaceful life, you know?" n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The young woman started reprimanding the outer gods as if they were her pets!

"W-Why can't we move?!"

"Ugh… T-This sensation!"

"It is as if we're facing an Ancient Outer God?!"

"We can't help but lower our heads in reverence!"

It was utterly humiliating for them, yet they couldn't help it. By merely glancing at the girl's flawless, beautiful, yet expressionless face, they felt something.

Something similar to his father, and with a presence as terrifying as Yog-Sothoth, her appearance was that of a Vampire woman, her body too.

But her soul was different, it wasn't in the shape of a vampire, no, her soul was much larger than her body, oozing out of it as a Soul Aura of its own.

While Dante possessed unparalleled Vampire Dragon powers through his body parts, Eleanora's power laid within her immensely strong soul.

Even in her previous life, the girl was born with a bizarre soul, much like it had been speculated by the Outer Gods before, Noah's twins inherited a fragment of his soul.

And because his soul was already the fragment of Azathoth's own primordial soul, it meant that they had a tremendous amount of power and potential, similar to Noah himself.

Eleanora in specific, since her birth, that had developed her soul abilities, to the point her soul ended awakening more and more of its true powers as a fragment of Azathoth.

Although Iris saw her daughter there, the Outer Gods could only see a gigantic, intimidating monstrous Outer God, with one titanic maw that could devour it all, countless colorful eyes resembling stars, and a semi-transparent body looking as if it were made of nebulas.

The more Outer Gods ran to fight her, the more and more ended stopping their movements before her mere presence.

"Well now, that's ridiculous," said Dante by the side of his mother. "Does she even need to fight at all?"

"I suppose her powers are already reaching her limit, she can't keep too many at bay, look," Iris pointed at the distance.

A dozen Outer Gods attacked Eleanora, and she was unable to stop them this time.

Not like it did matter…

"Defend me."

With a mere order, the Outer Gods below her authority rushed towards the beams of void and used their own bodies to shield her, exploding into shreds.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"Become my shields made of flesh and my armors made of blood. You will sacrifice yourself for me, and you will kill your own brethren happily."

Eleanora's words were orders to their very existences, they moved, killing one another, creating more and more destruction. As their bodies fell from the skies, her soul's tentacles moved, catching, and swallowing them, absorbing them.

She was growing stronger even now, her powers advancing by leaps and bounds without much effort, a truly gifted child, Dante had always been doing his best to catch up with his sister, but he had yet to awaken his Outer God Soul after all this time.

"She's just ridiculous… She's the closest to father, isn't she?" Dante smiled in disbelief.

"Yes, she has already surpassed me…" sighed Iris. "But that's what a mother should always strive for, to raise strong children. Eleanora! Can you send them back from where they came from?"

"Of course, mother."

Despite how strong she was and how serious and intimidating Eleanora was, she was a spoiled girl and loved her parents a lot, especially her dad. She obeyed them without question.

"Go back and never return, stop the others from getting here!"

The Outer Gods, against their will, rushed back into the huge portals and started being forced inside, the others coming from within tried to fight them back, but were being constantly slaughtered by the controlled Outer Gods and Iris Phantasmal Summons.

"There are still a few left to kill!"

Dante rushed forward, his entire body quickly shapeshifting, as he summoned gigantic draconic arms that pulverized the Outer Gods, tearing them to shreds and burning them one after another.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

"RAAAH!"

With a ferocious roar, Dante opened his jaws, unleashing a dragon breath that disintegrated dozens of Outer Gods, cleaning the skies once and for all.

BOOOM!

"Phew! Much better now, I disliked them pestering the skies all the time… Now, where is your father at?" wondered Iris. "I was sure he had- Wait, Noah's presence, it's gone?!"

Iris panicked as she looked around, she could swear Noah was fighting right above them against Yog-Sothoth just a couple seconds ago.

Yet now, he was completely gone! And so was Yog-Sothoth.

"They left?! But where to?" said Dante. "Didn't father said that he didn't want to leave Abyss until he became as strong as a Constellation?"

"No, he didn't left the world willingly!" Iris panicked, her connection with Noah finally telling her, although slightly later, where he was. "Yog-Sothoth! That bastard! He dragged your father to the confines of the Outer Void, outside of the Universe itself!"

"W-What?!" Dante couldn't believe it.

"Papa is in danger?" Eleanora appeared by their side, phasing through space.

"He's so powerful, I doubt he would have many difficulties staying alive," said Iris. "However, it's another entirely different thing if he could return from there. Did Yog-Sothoth planned to leave him stranded?"

"We have to get there somehow!" Dante said. "We've been forging new Lifeblood Jewels of Space and Time; can't we use them to travel where father is?"

"We had never tried teleporting through such a long distance before, but I do have a Soul Connection with him, and so do the two of you," said Iris. "We have to try… Eleanora, do you think you could help?"

"Of course, leave this to me," Eleanora nodded.

The trio suddenly channeled the power of the Dao of Space and Time, and even the Dao of Dimensions, all of which they had almost fully comprehended and forged Lifeblood Jewels of.

FLUOSH!

The space itself began tearing apart slowly, as the connection they had with Noah grew stronger, opening a wormhole where he had been sent to.

However, Iris hesitated for a second.

"But if we leave, what will happen to this world? We can't just leave…" she muttered. "Noah wouldn't want that!"

"But mother, if we don't go, papa will…!" Eleanora panicked.

"Wait a moment," said Iris. "Arthur, Timassa, Jon, Adamantine, Clementina, we'll have to leave, Noah had been abducted to the Outer Void by Yog-Sothoth." She sent a telepathic message.

"What?!"

"Eh?!"

"Noah was…?!"

"But what about Abyss!"

"I need to go help him!"

Everyone had their own opinions, but nobody could go with them.

"Protect Abyss while we are gone! I'll go with my children, take care." Iris spoke her last message. "Let's go."

With her two children, she stepped into the wormhole.

FLUOSH!
