Epic of Caterpillar

Chapter 1380 [Supreme Wars: Act I] 20/?: The Spider Empress 1

-----

The Monster Emperors from the Grand Forest stopped their charge as they looked into the battlefield, it has only been a few minutes but Kireina quickly took ahold of the entire battle and has been dominating it with her might and powers, and the new Path Jewel she had forged had enhanced greatly the capabilities of what she could do, now there was an endless army of Undead, although they were weak and could die in one shot, they were so many that continued popping up endlessly that it felt as if there was a never-ending cloud made of flies flying around the Undead Gods, while the Emperors watched from the back.

Despite being completely weak compared to the Undead Gods that were all Gods in the past, these Emperors were given special gifts by Hel as she knew that they were former enemies of Kireina, and Hel loves to make her enemies suffer the most, so she gave them special fruits to enhance them even above these normal Undead Gods, who were charging forward incessantly against the Undead and also the dozens of Kireina's troops fighting in midair.

The Emperors had decided to not step forward as they were assessing the battlefield, because of their special previous lives, Hel had decided to leave them as commanders of these armies, and their very presences seemed to create powerful elemental auras that enhanced the strength, speed, and defense of allies nearby, although those titans that Zehe fought had disobeyed them and ran off on their own, resulting on their early deaths.

Each Emperor represented a different element in their previous lives, and now they were embodying these elements into their powerful Necrotic Divine Auras as Pseudo Supreme Gods… Of course, although they were given so much power by Hel, its not as if they were obeying her willingly, in fact, none were, they were all being forced to cooperate and work together. If it were up to them, all of them would had already gone their separate ways… However, they were also desiring to slay Kireina more than anything, the opportunity was gold for them, so they couldn't possibly escape now, even if they were unwilling to fight, they couldn't help but look forward to confronting her… The bad thing was that Kireina didn't seem to have any of such intentions, she was maintaining the ship with the other Supreme Gods, so the only intention she had was to move to Helheim, and therefore, she wasn't even going to give them the privilege of fighting her!

Of course, if they could get close enough, they could actually force their way into her and fight her, but for that they would first need to breakthrough her army of allies and Undead, and they were willing to use their own army for that.

The Spider Empress looked at Kireina in her new and monstrous form, resembling an empress from appearance and power alone… She could be said to be more like an Arachne now though. Despite the brief time she spent fighting Kireina, she had formed a deep grudge as she died against her so easily, and she had developed a strong hate against her, when she landed in Helheim, the only thing she was always thinking about was Kireina, she wanted to kill her more than anything in the world… and this was what brought Hel to notice her as well.

At some point of her evolution Kireina began to mostly eat all the souls of her foes, but the Emperors existed and died in a period where Kireina had yet to develop such abilities, so she was unable to do anything about their souls, which ended being sent to Helheim as they were not reincarnated by the Transmigration Cycle of the Supreme Goddess of Souls and Reincarnation.

"Kireina… I want to see you suffer… I want to kill you…" She thought to herself. The Spider Empress was only thinking about such insane thoughts. But of course, there was also a voice of reason within her. "But you're way too strong… What can I do to kill you? Or to weaken you? This entire idea is hopeless, we are destined to die, but we are made to delay you, to weaken you for the ones that will kill you… I am a mere tool, or am I?"

Within the Spider Empress thoughts, a factor that not even Hel had predicted was occurring, her own mind was slowly deviating away from her own authority, as Hel, completely unaware of it, was slowly losing power over her for some… odd reason. Of course, this reason was no external factor, it was something that was already within her.

The Spider Empress was no mere monster, since she was born in the Grand Forest that she developed a greater intelligence than all the other spiders. Her birth came with her devouring half of her siblings to gain EXP and leveled up enough to even evolve in her first day of life. Since the moment she was born that she was incredibly vicious, and intelligent than the rest, she was cunning and even used traps to catch bigger prey, devouring them and gaining EXP to Level Up more, unlocking new Skills, and evolving further.

Since she was born that she had one thought in mind as she developed her personality and nature in the middle of this harsh environment where in her first day of birth she ate half her siblings… And that thought was "I will dominate everything". She thought of herself as the ideal being, she was going to dominate everything, the world was her domain, her Kingdom, and anyone in here was either her servant or her food… It was divergent, but quite similar to Kireina's own thoughts back then. And that's because Kireina and the Spider Empress were incredibly similar to one another in many ways, but different in many others.

They could be said to be parallels of one another; she could had been what Kireina was if she wasn't given the memories of somebody else instead to shape her personality differently… An even more vicious, ruthless, cold, and emotionless hunter and innate tyrant.
