Epic of Caterpillar Chapter 2932 2933: The End Of The Sun God

-----

Kireina showed no mercy, chasing the escaping Sun God relentlessly while the two mechs trailed right behind her.

"Get back here, you bastard!"

However, the swifter his flight grew, the tougher it became to close the distance on him.

He started demolishing entire universes, spilling their innards everywhere and turning the mayhem into weapons that hurled his chasers backward.

"What a beast!" Zehe yelled. "He's wiping out whole universes just to block our path!"

"Don't stop now! Keep after him!" Brontes bellowed.

"Right! We're nearly… on him!" Nesiphae called out.

Ryo's massive fists appeared as he tapped into the universal forces whirling nearby.

Positioned cross-legged at the Outerverse's core, a Constellation's power from outside cosmic limits responded to his call.

"Buddha-sama! Grant me your power, please! I'll serve as your vessel!"

"So be it."

The true Buddha—the very entity Kireina had clashed with and injured before—descended onto her son.

For a split second, panic gripped her, yet she felt only peaceful tranquility emanating from him.

This wasn't the Buddha she had damaged previously.

"Fear not, Kireina. The one you battled ages ago wasn't truly me, but my defeated dark side. Your blow weakened him sufficiently for me and fellow Constellations to obliterate him. He'll never mimic me again."

"I understand…! But—hold on!"

Kireina's eyes bulged as numerous Constellations materialized throughout the expansive Outerverse. Knull, Yggdrasil, and countless others appeared successively—the same forces that had guided all their destinies up to now.

"Meeting you face-to-face like this is odd, but let it happen."

Knull manifested as a gigantic skull dragon built from universes and let out a thunderous roar, grabbing the Sun God and flinging him toward them.

His total void nullified the despot's solar light, crippling him temporarily.

"You've safeguarded countless of my beloved offspring. Take this as my gratitude!"

The ancient tree Yggdrasil materialized; her endless branches lashed out from all sides, slamming the Sun God and locking him down.

"GAAAAHHH! WRAAAHHHH!"

The Sun God's roars grew ever fiercer. Some strange energy kept flooding him with strength; he ballooned even bigger, swallowing universes close by.

"YOU CAN'T… HALT MEEEEEE!"

The fate of all teetered on the edge.

Suddenly—utter quiet.

As if time itself halted over the whole multiverse, a blue cosmic portal ripped apart.

A white-haired man emerged, accompanied by his family and most trusted allies.

Among them was a woman with flowing blue hair and a expression laden with grief.

"Noah?!"

Kireina and all who knew him shouted as the Vampire Emperor stepped forth.

But what role could he play here?

"Sorry for showing up so late. Clearly, much has unfolded. Let's get straight to the point."

Noah clasped his hands, rousing the ancient, sealed might he had once forsaken.

As Azathoth's Son—a Multidimensional Primordial spanning nearly every universe—tremendous power burst from him.

He at last accepted the heritage he had spurned.

Why this moment?

After rescuing Clementina and facing his past errors, he promised her and all others never to err again.

His hubris had sparked every disaster. That truth had finally sunk in.

"Blood Dimensional Ruler Crown: Manifest."

The Blood Dimension was Noah's domain by right—the inheritance from his real father, Azathoth, given at his birth.

Unlike Outer Gods spawned from Azathoth's shadows, Noah was his true offspring. The eternally dormant, emotionless deity had once possessed an alter ego: Nyarlathotep.

The Crawling Chaos roamed realities pondering fatherhood and children.

Sacrificing himself to shield Noah taught him its meaning.

It was a frenzy no horror in the multiverse could evade.

The Blood Dimension rushed out, blending with Noah, Iris, their kids, his comrades, and all of Abyss.

A gigantic blood figure formed—a vampire titan like a bat, crafted from red stars.

Scarlet and the Darkwood Fae sensed an unstoppable draw and merged in, boosting its power.

Eliadol and Isolde funneled their energies via Noah's Blood Dimension Ruler Body, spawning a jungle of blood, chaos, and abyssal shadows.

Scarlet called forth Blood Dimensional Swords that stabbed into the Sun God's body.

Now four powerful entities battered him as various Constellations held him immobile…

No—not just that.

FLASH!

From Kireina's Realm came a mother, father, and their baby, wrapped in dazzling golden glow that rocketed toward her.

Amiphossia, Evan, and their newborn arrived.

"Mother!"

"Take our strength!"

The baby gleamed with unmatched brilliance, harboring a full dimension in his small frame.

A Dimension of Pure Light.

Upon hatching, Amiphossia and Evan marveled at their son's intense glow.

This stunning child—mirroring his dad but with a lengthy white serpentine tail in place of legs, four arms, blonde locks, shining silver eyes, and golden horns—exuded a Dimension's dominion.

The inaugural naturally birthed Dimensional Ruler.

Blessed by multiverse and Constellations alike, this infant existed to thwart the Sun God—as if Defiance had ordained this destiny.

He was fated to seize the Sun God's abilities for himself.

Kireina gave a nod. Amiphossia, Evan, and young Apollon shifted to spiritual essences and integrated with her sword using spiritualization.

With everyone else immobilizing the Sun God, she wielded the Infinite Heavens Sword.

And Heaven-Surpassing Infinite Self started its evolution.

For the first time ever, Kireina glimpsed the Path distinctly.

A Path toward her aim, a Path to conclude this war eternally.

Her sword claimed it.

All infinite selves converged, uniting with her being, melding into her core.

In a brief moment, Kireina spanned every possible reality.

She seized that abstract power and shaped it into a weapon.

Thus, the fifth form emerged.

"Heaven And Earth Defying Soul Heart Style."

"Fifth Form – Heaven-Defying Celestial Path!"

Her blade embodied the Path. Slicing through existence, she hurtled across space and time.

SLAAASH!

"G-Gaaahhh?!"

The Sun God split neatly in two.

Blood sprayed from his cleaved body and soul—regrowth impossible.

As her strike landed, Kireina's mind drifted away.

She arrived in an infinite white emptiness.

There faced her other self.

A parallel Kireina.

A tainted shard of a Supreme Entity.

"How did you reach this place?! How are you STILL ALIVE?!"

The duplicate shrieked, her poise shattering at Kireina's unyielding survival.

"With Defiance burning in my soul, I'll tread this road eternally."

Kireina stepped forward.

"Vanish from my view, you vile Heart Demon! Perish!"

The woman screeched, attempting to wipe Kireina out.

It didn't work.

She hurled cosmic barrages—none succeeded.

"Welcome to my Reality-Altering Consciousness Marble, born from my Heart Essence."

"What?!"

"It reduces all within to mere mortal power."

"…Hah?!"

"And I'll thrash you senseless like that."

"Hah… I've survived trillions of eons! You believe you can—"

Kireina's punch smashed her face, knocking her sprawling.

The "sister" tumbled over the ground, spitting blood and shattered teeth, eyes bulging in disbelief.

"Aaaahhh! W-What's this agony?!"

"First time feeling it? That's the suffering of Saha World's people—the ones you've scorned. They bear far graver torment daily and persist."

"Y-Youuu…!"

The sister lurched upright and lunged, smashing a fist into Kireina's jaw.

BAAAM!

Kireina remained steady, staring with icy disdain.

"E-Eh? Didn't you claim we match in power?"

"We do. I'm just not a whiny weakling like you."

Kireina slammed a kick into her gut, sending her flying back.

She rushed once more.

She closed in and battered Kireina's face.

The sister retaliated with a kick; Kireina took it, grabbed the limb, and floored her.

Dozens of strikes poured down.

Each hit cracked the sister's body further.

"N-No…! Noooo!"

She howled in torment and rage, flailing back in vain, completely helpless.

Kireina mirrored her exact might, yet bore far more—family to defend, ties she'd never sever.

She had transcended boundaries, weathered infinite torment, all to destroy her.

"L-Leave me be!"

The sister wailed, kicking Kireina off with both feet.

Kireina coughed blood; fissures marred her form too.

The sisters locked eyes, panting heavily.

"I can't comprehend you…! Why act this way? Why not rejoin us and unite once more?!"

"Because I reject it. I am myself alone, and none of you will alter that."

"You're mad…"

"Indeed… Hahaha… Maybe so."

Kireina burst into laughter.

Then she steadied her stare and dashed ahead.

"I'll slay youuuu!" the sister roared, going berserk.

They collided.

Kireina dodged frantic, sloppy attacks, hooked the sister's leg, toppled her, and pinned her head underfoot.

"You're defeated, sister."

"N-No…! I haven't lost! I HAVEN'T LOST!"

The sister thrashed, gripping Kireina's ankle and pounding it uselessly.

Kireina shrugged off the blows and hammered her face repeatedly.

Until the sister's visage crumbled into white crystals.

"A-Ahh…! W-Why…"

A shaky hand stretched out; Kireina swatted it aside.

"This is your doing. You invited it. No tears now. Had you ignored me… this wouldn't have occurred."

"I don't… want to die…"

"Relax—I won't grant you quick mercy, 'sister'."

Kireina grinned icily and shattered her to pieces.

She collected all the fragments.

As the marble faded, reality returned.

"GUUUAAAAEEEEEEAARRRGGGHHHH!"

The Sun God screamed in anguish and exploded.

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

Blast after blast devoured his being until—

BOOOMMM!!!

He erased utterly, left as scattered cosmic dust.

The body of the kidnapped Esper girl floated from the debris; Lazuli and Blaze snatched her up and rushed her to safety.

Kireina grinned amid the triumphant cheers surrounding her.

She infused her sister's shards into the Infinite Heavens Sword—not consuming them, but tempering them into its edge.

FLAAASH!

The sword evolved into a tool that could slice dimensions apart.

And access that realm.

A subtle starry stairway materialized as the Sun God perished.

The Cosmic Labyrinth collapsed in total failure. Kireina had broken its laws and reshaped this epic war's end.

Now the wicked spider scheming from the shadows despaired, baffled by the utter collapse.

"Tsk…! Kireina, you caused all this…! Unbelievable— Ahhh!"

Her eight crimson eyes flared in horror as three colossal auras descended from the Empyrean Throne.

"You've disappointed us, worthless spider."

"We'd destroy you if not for your lingering value."

"Start over, but grander. Build a vaster Dimensional Labyrinth inescapable for Kireina. We'll supply all you need."

"Y-Yes…! Yes, my lords…! I-I'll prepare it swiftly—"

"So here you cower, old acquaintance."

The spider and the trio stiffened.

A voice echoed from the abyss below—from the Saha World's depths.

Footfalls echoed.

A solitary fighter approached.

She had abandoned all companions to confront them solo.

She resolved to conclude it.

"This cycle never ceases, does it? Not until I eradicate every one of you—for good."
