Epic of Caterpillar Chapter 2939 - 2940: The Never Ending Story Of Our Lives

-----

Years had flown by since Kireina ascended to the Summit of Existence, lifting her complete Reality into the grand Existence Expanse. Billions of souls accompanied her, shielded by her Mark of the Root; she boosted them toward Empyrean Throne might whenever required, although the bulk of inhabitants held onto their former power, dwelling calmly within personal universes and dimensions exactly as Kireina envisioned from the start.

Over those years, countless shifts unfolded.

Kireina's parents, Khaos and Lord Chaos, wed after prolonged courtship and deep mutual understanding. Khaos convinced Kireina's father to dissolve the Chaos Gate as an outlaw faction and reshape it into a noble clan focused on Earth's defense. Lord Chaos mostly abandoned his former ruinous habits, yet occasionally destructive impulses returned; he'd sneak off to Heavenly Dimensional Domains designed for devouring and annihilate several to release those urges.

Kireina's wives chased their individual pursuits and ventures, finally liberated from conflict and turmoil. Charlotte teamed up with the Space Humans—who forsaken all ambitions of dominating Genesis—and innovated advanced technologies with them and Elektra.

Astraea and Andromeda, alongside their offspring, kept managing the Pillar of Celestial Enlightenment while tagging along with Kireina on weekly excursions. The pair stayed endlessly loving and affectionate toward her. Origin and Asteria blossomed into exceptional pupils at the God Academy, celebrated creators of Cosmic Artifacts.

Nanako and Kaguya went back to their Kami lineages. With Amaterasu revived, their Heavenly Domain persisted in watching over Japan on Earth. Kireina now and then shared serene, tender dates with them. Yet the girls immersed themselves profoundly in fresh existences and kin, and Kireina felt no urge to draw them from it. Amaterasu evolved into a more compassionate goddess, Susanoo grasped duty and lately spent a fiery night with Kireina—surrendering his virginity to her—and Tsukuyomi relished moments with his alternate self, though he still deemed it odd that his parallel was romantically linked to Amaterasu, considering they weren't siblings.

Oga proved to be an Oni from Sadako's tribe; memory loss had turned her into a roaming warrioress amid Japan's Corrupted Domains. Kireina discovered her concealed in one, conversed with her, and aided in recovering her recollections. Oga continued heading her personal Oni tribe, which merged with Sadako and every Oni Kireina resurrected. The collective shifted to the renewed Yomi, now governed by Izanami beside her spouse Izanagi—revived by Kireina and bound to remain with her, despite his reluctance.

Altani yearned for thrills and wandered myriad worlds and universes alongside her son Emerald; Kireina occasionally accompanied them. Gradually, Altani gathered her whole tribe, and they emerged as the pioneering Multiversal Nomadic Tribe. Altani and Emerald gained renown as pioneers of unknown territories, uncovering novel creatures to pursue and stunning vistas.

Sofarpia and Sofelaia stayed among the European Spirits and Gods on Earth, with Kireina dropping by each week. From their union sprang two charming spirit offspring—Guinevere and Adrain—who developed into famed young knights at the God Academy, forever charging into exploits and trials as their mothers guarded them vigilantly.

Nixephine and Nefertiti kept reigning over Egypt's Heavenly Domain. Nixephine reconnected with Nesiphae and Scarlet—introducing them as fresh Goddesses of Egypt—and they blended seamlessly into duties, seizing new paths and opportunities. Amiphossia dropped in on Nesiphae (now honored as Apophis) periodically, bearing presents with Evan and their boy Apollon; Kireina treasured those reunions with her spouses, kids, and the array of new Egyptian Gods she connected with—including the resurrected, milder Ra. Nefertiti and Kireina later welcomed a son fated to claim the Duat someday: the cute, fluffy-eared lad they called Nimvuur.

Zehe advanced her magic pursuits at the Great Magician Cosmic Tower, a hub for multiversal mages. She ascended to famed master status and ultimately took the helm as director. Her son Ryo and Kireina stopped by often. Ryo wed his sweetheart and fathered a daughter—a sweet six-armed oni girl boasting lengthy green locks. Buddha bestowed blessings upon her; she shone as a vibrant scholar at the God Academy named Ibuki and adored frolicking with Apollon.

Hydros and her kin retreated to their idyllic island haven; Kireina plus numerous relatives—particularly the young ones—came for getaways and to savor the magnificent scenery. Kireina's daughter by Hydros came to adore her mother and pardoned her initial absence; their connection deepened. The girl ripened into a mighty god of fishermen and later stunned all at the God Academy with his remarkable angling skills.

Gaby, Aarae, Ervin, Valentia, and Asure journeyed across the vast seas of the multiverse alongside the Dragon King of the East Sea, uncovering fresh realms. Valentia wed Asure and gave birth to a mighty half-shark, half-earth-lord son called Valesur—playful yet wildly destructive. Aarae and Ervin's little girl, Mermei, was a charming baby who gripped her father's arms tightly and sobbed whenever they separated. Kireina frequently tagged along on their sea voyages, enchanted by stunning new ocean depths as she witnessed her grandchildren's growth.

Lilith and her son Fafnir often ventured out with Altani and Emerald, pursuing hunts and explorations. At times, they dropped by Charlotte and Elektra; on other occasions, they chased colossal Empyrean Beasts atop the Summit of Existence. From time to time, they relaxed with Kireina and Lilith's modest farming kin in the Dark Moon Kingdom.

Brontes and Vudia integrated into the Cyclops Tribe within Earth's Greek Heavenly Domains, building a massive family. Though Kireina dropped in regularly, it was evident they had discovered their genuine home. Vudia rose as a famed Divine Blacksmith throughout the multiverse, forging artifacts for Cosmic Gods and even Empyrean Thrones. In adulthood, she fell head over heels for a youthful Greek god, turning into a possessive partner. They welcomed a son—a genius cyclops hero named Fermeiantes—renowned at the God Academy for his fun-loving spirit and tremendous power. Brontes loved drilling him in combat, while Kireina kept a watchful eye over the family.

Kireina's maids, Ismena and Acelina, uncovered the complete truth about all events and reclaimed their lost histories, but they opted to stay on Earth in her service. Even as Kireina dwelled in the Empyrean Throne, she devoted plenty of time to Earth, supervising its existence—shifting castles and merging realms at will. Earth had expanded enormously, with supernatural events now commonplace (a tale for later).

Eventually, Kireina and her cherished maids made their bond official with Lord Chaos's blessing, celebrating a grand wedding in Europe where she encountered their knightly relatives. Later, Ismena and Acelina brought forth two splendid children—Veloria and Arthur—both honing skills to emerge as elite knights.

Rimuru and Ailine remained ever at Kireina's side without fail. Rimuru evolved into the unwavering wife, constantly aiding and cherishing every instant together. Everyone acknowledged her as Kireina's "main wife," a status unchallenged—she had rightfully claimed it. Ailine gained a younger sibling named Celicia, a Chaos Slime brimming with primordial might, commanding dark, poisonous, abyssal, and chaotic energies. An Empyrean Throne had foretold her as the harbinger of Existence's End, yet Kireina crushed that destiny, freeing her child. Celicia turned out sweet, awkward, and oblivious, delighting in games with her sister and God Academy classes; regardless of her demeanor, her overwhelming powers crowned her the school's top student. Chocolate was her ultimate favorite too.

Hodhyl thrived amid the Cosmic Dragons and Wyverns, roaming with her brothers and sisters. She gifted Kireina a formidable Chaos Wyvern boy named Sirius, inheriting a blazing temperament. He frequently clashed with Celicia in spirited contests; she invariably triumphed, making him treat her to chocolate bars.

Kireina's Vampire wives elected to stay on Earth raising their offspring. They merged seamlessly with the Darkwood Fae, enjoying blissful lives side by side. Kireina stopped by almost monthly, cherishing moments with her grandparents—who, despite her supreme strength, continued imparting fresh wisdom. Alucard and Jeanne matured into formidable, revered leaders among the Darkwood Fae and Vampire clans, governing the Blood Dimension with Scarlet and Noah's kin. Still, as grown-ups, they relied on mothers Agatheina and Alice for all matters—and Kireina showered them with endless pampering. Noah's family juggled lives between Abyss and Earth, always honoring their Earth roots.

Mao tied the knot with Kireina too. Mao settled on Earth as a mighty Spirit Goddess of South America; she abruptly acquired an Aztec god lineage and reigned joyfully over heavenly realms there. Kireina made regular trips. Mao soon bore a cute boy with a black lion face, Crepusculatz—foretold by local deities to eventually swallow the sun one day. Everyone anticipated it eagerly—Kireina most of all.

Kireina's Spirit wives—Nereid, Kjata, Ocypete, and Smilkas—trained under the Mother of All Spirits, who later took them as daughters, elevating them to Primordial Spirit Princesses. Each one ruled her distinct elemental Reality, birthing life and overseeing universes filled with boundless wonder and potential. Kireina visited frequently; the four all conceived and delivered scores of spirit offspring who blossomed into mighty spirit gods. The daughters kept their quirky traits and stuck together on travels—occasionally overwhelming Kireina, yet she bore it gladly out of profound love.

After raising countless children, Nephiana, Kireina's Harpy wife, chose retirement and ascended to the role of Kireina's second "main wife," forever remaining by Rimuru's side. Her laid-back, carefree disposition filled her with joy at traveling wherever Kireina went. Their offspring dispersed throughout multiverses and Realities, emerging as celebrated Empyrean Thrones that drove infinite expansion across the Existence Expanse. Kireina spoiled Nephiana endlessly, deeply thankful for her resilience in motherhood to such a vast brood. Nephiana's father dropped by now and then, allowing the family to relish dinners and reunions with all the chicks.

Mady alongside her offspring ruled over an immense stretch of Kireina's Cosmic Realm Oceans, dwelling in tranquility. Her three children matured in time, embarking on journeys through the multiverse—joining Gaby's household at times, while returning home on others. Their exceptional qualities propelled them into Outer Gods: the Three Siblings of the Abyssal Depths, whose dread psychic abilities birthed innumerable cults.

Sakura produced a massive brood exceeding thirty children, leaving Kireina utterly astonished. Araña, hailing from Earth, integrated with the Arachne Maids there for a spell, forging one grand spider clan. Each time Kireina drew near, swarms of tiny Arachne infants overwhelmed her… she hadn't yet settled on names for them all.

All the rest had carved out their individual destinies. The Wyvern Lord and his progeny roamed the cosmos beside the Cosmic Dragons. The Monkeys reconvened with their monarch, flourishing amid the Mountains of the Grand Forest. Redgaria headed back to America, helping restore it after the Spirit Invasion with his sibling's aid. Lazuli and Blaze resided with Skadi and Kireina, nurturing their two adopted Esper kids—who adapted blissfully to their fresh existence. Zagreus wed Sindarin and sired three offspring, turning Hades into the most elated grandfather; he had reconnected with Persephone. Zagreus with his companions formed a massive family unit, popping over to Genesis's Sun and Moon from time to time.

Obhedhrur commanded the Chaos Plane as he pushed conquests into outer cosmos regions, perpetually craving combat. He spent one fervent evening with Kireina, begetting a cherished son—Obhedhrur Junior—a spitting image of his sire save for butterfly wings and flowing purple locks. Kireina made frequent trips to see him, yet the lad favored his father's company, stirring a hint of melancholy in her. Kids often acted like that.

Hel, Jormungandr, Fenrir, Yiksukesh, and the reformed Hero of Gluttony shifted to Earth seeking new beginnings, with scant ties remaining in Genesis. Gradually, the Hero rediscovered his smile, recapturing childhood joys amid kin and comrades as Hel and the rest kept vigilant watch. Loki hovered in the vicinity, frequently in disguise.

Freyja, Freyr, and Gerda cohabited in their merged Realm within Genesis, reclaiming the existences they treasured. They cultivated a fresh Yggdrasil and reconstructed their Fairy Kingdoms. Freyr and Gerda brought forth numerous children—the giantess spared her spouse nothing—and Freyja reveled in the burgeoning family.

Poseidon frequently called on Gaby and the group. The Spirits supporting him, Surtr, and others went back to the Spirit Plane to govern it following the old queen's departure. Truhan and Surtr upheld their longstanding feud, but Truhan placed his children and Celica first—she was on the verge of birthing yet another soon.

Luminous pursued his harem pursuits, siring scores of offspring with the Dragon Maids. He dropped in on Elfina and her circle now and then—they had regained their recollections yet opted to base mostly on Earth, swinging by Grand Terra on weekends.

Within Abyss, Noah reclaimed sovereignty alongside his kin and allies. He wed Clementina upon acknowledging his affection for her; Iris burned with envy but yielded to avoid further eruptions. Clementina's frozen heart thawed bit by bit; she delivered twins to Noah—Frost and Nifl. The Moon Goddess and Blood God came back to life, rejoined Noah in Abyss's governance, and discovered love and pardon for each other. The Vampire Hero Allan, with his daughter and tribe, rallied every Vampire faction into unity, halting senseless conflicts and imparting lessons in humility.

The Original Frank, Supreme of Time, reconnected with his loved ones and roamed the cosmos, sometimes stopping by Kireina and his alternate self. The youthful Frank carried on his everyday Earth routine; those two billion training years unfolded beyond conventional time—scarcely a year elapsed since the catastrophes. He dwelled with his parents and sister, exploring various clans and gaining power in this altered realm. He started courting Harumi; after twelve months, they formalized their bond. Harumi proved a fervently loving partner—constantly embracing and smooching—occasionally overwhelming Frank. Erika persisted in her training. Kireina brought Ulric back to life, sparking joy in the werewolf clan. They bonded with Wagyu and the Genesis Wolves, expanding into an even grander family. Beowulf traded spars with Wagyu sporadically, developing a bond as competitive comrades. Matsuo cherished his redeemed clan and embraced each day with purpose.

Doctor Victor Frankenstein at last savored his long-awaited family gathering—his son and daughter sharing moments with him. Wasp came back home to pay tribute to his forebears, libating wine over their tombs while recounting his part in rescuing the universe. Medea went back to the Greek Heavenly Domain; thanks to Kireina's aid, her kin eventually embraced her return. Nagumo had been liberated from Dream Entity control ages ago; following recovery, he teamed up again with Takamura and Sakamoto as Hunters—the fresh Earth role battling monsters and wicked spirits. These three bonded like true siblings.

Mammon resided amidst Earth's Vampires alongside his foster mother Clementine and sister Harumi, now and then journeying to Hell to see Lucifer and the fresh recruit Archdemons. Kireina would frequently appear at mealtimes, whisk him off, and claim him for the evening. Via a miracle seed from an Empyrean Throne, Mammon conceived and gave birth to a mighty Nephalem son called Samael—who delighted in wandering freely between Heaven and Earth.

The One offered a formal apology to his offspring and the archdemons, Lucifer and Mammon included. Though the archdemons harbored lingering grudges, the resurrected archangels reunited with him in delight. Samael gained notoriety across Heaven and Hell as the lad who traversed realms at will and boasted about it—igniting jealousy in demons and angels alike. Mischievous and fun-loving like his dad, he embodied playful chaos. Lucifer and the System Master embarked on a romance, departed Hell, and roamed the multiverse side by side. In time, they built a family; their System Demon offspring sowed disorder, crafting sinister systems and myriad fresh tales throughout the worlds.

The Supremes faithful to Genesis returned alongside her to her realm; the rest roamed the stars, dropping by home from time to time. Flora formed a profound bond with Mother Earth and stayed by her side, overseeing the grandest planet throughout all Existence—a spot drawing visits from numerous Empyrean Thrones for its singular charm.

Genesis slowly refined her manner of speaking and conduct. Her brothers, sisters, and parents chastised her over and over until the lesson sank in. She hosted frequent family gatherings. Kireina loved to poke fun at her, igniting jovial scuffles that eased tensions and brought peals of laughter. From foes to frenemies turned sisterly rivals, their connection felt both twisty and perfect.

Wall, taking her turtle shape, roamed Earth until linking up once more with her kin—the White Tiger, Azure Dragon, and Vermillion Bird. United as the Four Auspicious Beasts, they now quested as one.

After countless years, Kireina wrapped up yet another merry reunion with loved ones and comrades, her face beaming with smiles and chuckles amid the group.

While the festivities raged on, she parted the veil beyond reality's limits and ventured into a boundless void—innumerable root-shaped energy streams surging forever across every Reality. She had arrived at The Root.

She strolled leisurely toward the heart and spotted a lone witch perched at the nexus of all pathways. With deft hands, the witch shaped a pen, inscribing endless characters over budding realities and beings.

"Hello, Witch of the Root. Long time no see."

"Ah, Kireina! I knew you were coming. I was writing to you right here."

"Eh?"

Kireina drew near the figure scribbling away and observed her work.

Astonishment widened her eyes as she stared in wonder.

Their initial encounter had been hasty, yet now they could converse without hurry.

"You… I see. So you truly write Reality?" she inquired.

"I do. It's my job," the witch answered with a soft smile. "Your journey has officially ended. How do you feel?"

"I… well, I'm glad it all turned out well in the end," Kireina breathed out in relief. "It was a little rushed, but… it was good."

"I see…" The witch beamed warmly. "I'm glad. I have a new idea. I'm writing several new things—would you like to help? A little collaboration before your story closes?"

"Huh?" Kireina edged nearer, eyeing the myriad realities the witch crafted. "What is this? A tower? And a pink-haired boy?"

"It's called Primordial Dream Sovereign! Actually a sequel to another Reality I wrote—something called Ghost Reincarnation or similar. She's his child," the witch explained. "There's a tower wit
