Epic of Caterpillar



-----

Poseidon quickly started coughing the moment he stood back up, realizing he was sitting over his ruined castle. He could immediately sense that most of his Pantheon was alright, and his children had already gone inside his Divine Realm before everything happened.

"Ah…! This is…?!"

He quickly touched his chest desperately the moment he felt something unfamiliar covering it, only to find out his wound was healed, or rather, patched up by Sapphirine's own components. 

"I did what I could…" Sapphirine sighed. "You would had died by your own weapon if I didn't stepped up, Poseidon. I know this is not enough, but it was all I could do at the moment, I'm sorry…"

She had already explained Poseidon what she was beforehand, explaining that she was one of the sisters of the Ruler of the Spirit Plane, who had betrayed the other siblings and slain their father to take the throne forcefully, absorbing their father's powers in the process.

It was a tale filled with tragedy and horror, one that Poseidon could relate to an extent, as someone that also saw Zeus slay his father and absorb part of his powers. He still could remember the frustration he felt for being unable to stop his reckless and warmongering brother.

Now, he wasn't even given the chance to resurrect, being killed and devoured by Kireina, he could only think of his brother's fate as karma, what he ended deserving after continuing being a monster and not what he loved to say he was, the King of Gods…

Sapphirine, alongside many other of their siblings, escaped the Spiritual Plane seeking Vessels that could harbor their powers, going to Genesis immediately, as this was the world the Spiritual Plane was targeting the most, and the world they wanted to save.

"No, this is more than enough, Sapphirine." The old King of the Seas sighed. "You've saved my life, a wound like that would had not been possible to heal properly, even as a Great God near the level of a Supreme. That blasted spider had imbued her strange powers into it…"

"She was… I remember seeing her somewhere." Sapphirine sighed. "But my memories are fuzzy… Since we escaped from our Empire's Castle that we've been running away from our own troops trying to hunt us down. Things haven't been easy…"

"Hmm, whatever that thing was, it must be the mastermind behind it." Poseidon caressed his chest one last time before his Divine Robes materialized over his body. "You've given me a new heart, and I shall use it to fight and protect not only my people, but yours. Nobody ever asked you to come to our aid, nor to even feel pity for people and a world you've never met nor you've ever visited, yet you did. Sapphirine, you're a good woman."

"Poseidon…" Sapphire sighed, smiling lightly. "T-Thank you for being so nice with me… Among my siblings, I am the one with the least ability t-to speak, but with you, I feel somewhat at ease. Could it be because of your Divinity that resonates so much with mine?"

"Who knows, but that's a good thing." Poseidon smiled, suddenly noticing something. 

One of Sapphire's hands were missing, alongside half of her entire arm…

"Your arm?!"

"Oh… I used it as a material to heal you. I've lost a part of my strength, but you've gained that part. What you posses snow is named Spirit Heart; you can use it to wield Spiritual Energy from this Plane. A reason why you don't feel bad when being in here." Sapphirine explained. 

"In here… Wait, you mean?!" Poseidon took a little while to realize what was happening.

The skies had now changed color, covered by a bluish green hue, a sea of clouds covered it all, and distant floating islands could be seen, alongside enormous masses of colorful spiritual energies swirling together.

"T-This place… The Spiritual Plane?!" He muttered.

"We've landed in here for some reason." Sapphirine sighed. "That light must have done it… It happens when enormous Spiritual Dao Storms are created. The condensation of our Plane's energies is so rich that it generates these natural disasters, but because those gates were opened, it affected Genesis, pulling in this Realm, and perhaps many others…"I think you should take a look at

"Then that means…!"

As Poseidon was trying to process everything that was happening, a group of Sea Gods that were nearby instantly flew to his side. Some resembled Mermaids and Mermen wearing pristine armor, others were like giant fish, sea snakes, or coral-made golems.

"Lord Poseidon! You're alive!"

"I'm so relieved you're fine~!"

"There's something coming!"

"From the endless skies to the west!"

However, mixed with those filled with joy of seeing their King being alive and well, there were some filled with panic as they pointed into the farther skies, a large mass of land emerged, flying towards the Realm rapidly!

"W-What is that?!" Poseidon panicked, trying to imbue his powers into his Realm so he could use the Realm Core to generate some sort of Barrier, but it was futile!

Crack, crack… CRAAASH!

At the same time as he tried to do that, a large crack in space began to form between his Realm and the other piece of land emerging, this one filled with darkness, seas of blood, and all sorts of poisonous plants and bloody beasts.

"That's…?!"

The Sea God's blue eyes opened wide as he noticed that the crack in space opening up was the actual cause of the Realm constantly approaching, its countless red eyes glaring down at him as if he were getting in the way.

"It would be annoying if I had to move so much to pick to small aperitives." A monstrous voice echoed from the ever-growing swirling crack in space, chaotic energies started emerging, pulling the other Realm closer and closer, until…!

BOOOOOOMMMMM!!!contemporary romance

Two Realms, almost the size of planets, collided! The entire of Atlantis shook wildly! Entire islands were drowned in seconds, as the seas constantly raged, the Realm that impacted Atlantis was only half its size, yet it contained tremendous quantities of Divine Energy! The two atmospheres of the Realms collided, generating a devastating shockwave!

Crack… crack… CRAAACK!

And the entire Realm of Atlantis suddenly shattered into two halves!

"N-No…! My Realm!" Poseidon screamed in frustration, glaring furiously at the culprit of this!

"Gahaha… HAHAHAHA!" The entity from within the portal laughed. "Now this is a nice show!"
