Epic Of Caterpillar - Chapter 2347: The Wolves Wake Up

.

•

With Yerze’s help and guidance, we teleported into the other room where the wolves were, Mao, despite looking rather tired, still wanted to hang around with me. I sighed, taking out a cosmic elixir and giving it to her.

“Here dear,” I said. “Drink this, you’re too tired and should be sleeping, you know?”

“But I want to be with mwaster… after so long!” she pouted. “This is an Elixir, master?”

“Yes, it’ll help you feel better at least,” I nodded.

“Ooh, thank you mwaster!” she drank the whole thing instantly. “Gulp… Pwah! Oh, that was… weird taste!”

“You shouldn’t have drunk it all like that!” I sighed. “Well, at least you feel better now, right?”

“Yes, yes, yes!” she nodded, jumping around. “Wooaah! I feel so energetic somehow! Gaaooo!”

As she ran around trying to spend all her energy, I quickly looked at the wolves.

They were all resting over large beds, they were very big, they were very fluffy too.

But above all, they seemed stable and fine, nonetheless, with Yerze’s words about them still having some of those energies inside, I decided to run a quick clean up.

“Let’s see…”

FLUOSH!

I did the same I did with the chimeras, healing the wolves instantly and also letting them grow stronger by assimilating the energies they had been infected with that didn’t harm them.

This technique also resulted on Wagyu and Kekensha, the two strongest wolves, to slowly wake up, groaning and muttering words.

“Nnggh… Woof… Gimme that… meat!”

“Ugh… No more… I don’t want to… no, please, no more children! Enough!”

I guess Wagyu had a more lighthearted dream while Kekensha… looked like he was tired of his kids.

“Are you guys going to wake up or what?”

As I called for them, the two immediately opened their eyes, standing up after hearing my voice.

“Kireina-samaaaaa!”

“You’re here?!”

Wagyu jumped over me and started licking my face with all three of his heads, while Kekensha

kept his composure. Yeah, Wagyu was still a cute doggy even after so long, haha.

“Yes I am here!” I laughed. “Okay Wagyu, enough with licking me around!”

“Aaah! I apologize! Was it weird?” he cried, wimping as he looked down.

“Nah it’s fine, you’re too cute to get angry with, hahaha!” I petted his heads and fluff.

“Oooh! Wagyu and Kekensha! Hi! Welcome back!” Mao greeted them.

“Hm?! Mao! Long time no see!” said Wagyu. “I was- ugh… my heads…”

“Ahhh… now that I feel it yeah, my head hurts a bit too…” Kekensha groaned.

“Must be because of everything you went through,” I said. “So how did it happen anyways? I asked Rimuru, Nesi, Brontes, and Zehe, but they were all separated from you before they met you again…”

“Ahh, I do… recall a bit of what happened to us,” sighed Kekensha. “Don’t you remember, Wagyu? When we were fighting that crazy Fire Titan, Surtr! He had suddenly acquired tremendous powers and was burning an entire Realm, there was also someone else… I think it was Hades? From Genesis, he had said he had come to help, and brought over another of those Supreme Spirits with him! He said that… what did he said? Something about… setting things right?”

So Surtr and Hades from Genesis probably have Supreme Spirits with them, like it happened with Poseidon and Skadi! Skadi’s not here though, dammit, she offered her help and went out with her daughter to another team, but we’ll find her quickly, she’s still alive. But what point did Surtr had with destroying that Realm?

“Hmm… honestly it’s really hard for me to remember! And I have three heads!” groaned Wagyu. “But… Hmm! Yes, something like that. And… Right! It was something about Freyja too! And there was… I remember! There was the wife of Freyr, that woman… what was her name? Dammit I forgot!”

“When everything happened, a huge crack in space opened and your doppelganger saved us from an incoming attack that came out of nowhere, which pulverized half of the realm and destroyed it, sending us into the portal inside…” sighed Kekensha. “Maybe you don’t recall memories because your doppelganger was destroyed?”

“But that’s… unless the doppelganger was destroyed to an attack capable of even disintegrating the soul fragment within it… fast enough to be unable to send me the memories back…” I muttered. “Where did that beam came from? What nature did it have?”

“It came from where the portal to Genesis was, yes! I remember!” laughed Wagyu. “It was too bright to see properly, but it was a huge… metallic thing?”

“Metallic… thing?” I muttered. “But that’s… there’s nowhere in Genesis that… Hmm. Anyways, so to resume, you went into a Realm… what’s this realm name?”

“I don’t know, but it was a Realm full of Jungles that Surtr was burning,” said Kekensha. “I think he wanted to eat the core inside! The Supreme Spirit that took over him must have heightened his warmongering and aggressive emotions or something…”

“So not all the Supreme Spirits are on our side then,” I nodded. “Okay so you went to this jungle realm, whatever. And you found Surtr burning, and Hades joined you guys to stop him, and then there was Freyja and this woman, Freyr’s wife, right? What happened with them before the beam?”

“They were the ones originally fighting Surtr,” said Kekensha. “We didn’t get enough context from them, but I am fairly sure that’s the reason, something happened to Freyr, so Freyja and his wife are fighting for him. Surtr has somehow allied with whoever took him away… We assume its Odin.”

“Right, the rumors from Odin from a way back, about him obtaining the power of a foreign being, an alien, which made him as strong as a Supreme God or even stronger, right?” I wondered. “He took Freyr for some reason and… Wait, no that wouldn’t be enough, right? Why would he even take Freyr anyways? He was only a Great God; he was an old one at the pinnacle of Great Gods with enough power to be a Supreme God if he wanted but….”

“I think Freyja was talking something about a tree… a dream tree… and her child,” said Wagyu. “From there, the beam got us, and we were sent flying away everywhere.”

“I see…”

This was getting more and more complicated than I imagined.

And the mysterious foe that shot that beam that aimed to kill them all, just who was that?

“Well, that’s all?” I wondered.

“I think so, yes, after that we were swallowed by a storm of spiritual energies and chaotic clouds from that world we got into…” said Kekensha. “We tried to resist it together by fusing our divine auras, but it was too powerful, and we were overtaken by the storm and turned into

monsters.”

“Ah! I heard something, the laughter of a woman when we began to crystalize!” said Wagyu. “Master, I remember you said something about some sort of sorcerer that had turned the monkeys and the undead team into monsters before, right? From the spiritual plane! Maybe

she did it?!”

“Hedlehash, the Sorceress of Parasitic Spirits…” I guessed immediately.

“Yes, that very one!” nodded Wagyu, wagging his tail.

“So that means that woman is in Abyss?!” I was surprised. “Dammit, everything’s becoming an even bigger mess… There’s no way this is ending well, we have to prepare for a disaster.”
