Epic of Caterpillar

The skeletons looked with horror, a feeling they had not felt since eons, at the one that could potentially ruin all their plans! It was Kireina, the Supreme Goddess of Primordial Chaos and Eternal Demise…

But what was she doing in here from all places?! Wasn\'t Kireina in Genesis sleeping and idling around while doing absolutely nothing at all? The Necrotic Death Lords had heard of her doing just that recently, and thought she would never be able to even get in their way of anything at all. But against their wildest expectations, Kireina had emerged in here, right here, and was glaring down at them as if they were the next bones she was going to chew down…

Fear! This is the strongest feeling they were experiencing as of now… but why? Why were they so fearful of a sexy damsel such as her? Even more, how come they were terrified of her if they were so strong themselves?

Yes, she might be a Rank 2 Supreme Goddess, and she might have another Supreme Goddess in Rimuru at Rank 1 at her side, but that was all, her allies were still Pseudo Supreme Gods at most, even if all of them were combined together, they would barely be able to stop one of them, and they were five! With numbers alone and all the resources and abilities they had, it was an obvious answer that they held the upper hand in every single thing in here, and it was just common sense to believe they would easily defeat Kireina\'s forces.

No matter how overpowered she could be, fighting against so many Supreme God-level beings would only lead to her ultimate demise! The supreme goddess of demise would only bring her own demise, how poetic!

However, this wasn\'t the case, and this was why they were so fearful! The Necrotic Death Lords knew something very well, in the Gates of Hell, they lacked an Origin and only shred a pseudo-Origin that was left behind within the dead corpse of an Avatar of an Archdemon from Hell, which they had restored and risen into an undead, enhancing its power and then making a contract with it and everyone else here. Thanks to this Undead, they were able to enter this place, pretty much using it as some sort of anchor for them…

However, this Undead alone wouldn\'t be able to bring them all the power they required to stay in here for long, even more, they wouldn\'t be able to use their full power, as this only let them pass but not to pass and use all the power they would. The gates of hell themselves exerted an enormous and burning pressure over those that were not of their place, those that didn\'t possessed demonic cores! This was because this place was… well, for demons, of course.

Those without demonic cores even if they used an "anchor" would be severely weakened by the power of the Demonic Laws, or something similar to World Laws, therefore, if they were not demons themselves, they were not allowed to leisurely use all the power they could bring from their original world, and were left weaker than usual, sometimes even dropping their power to the very bottom of their Realm, if not even lower.

Due to this, they had to be careful to not screw things over… if they were to let themselves be attacked by the strong beings in here such as Plutus, they didn\'t knew what horrible things might happen to them, one of them could even bring them ultimate demise to their already dead bodies and souls… something they really didn\'t wanted at all, no, not at all…!

Despite being dead, they feared dead the post as these beings had no afterlife and were already more than dead, the only thing that awaited them after dead was perpetual non-existence, the void…

Based on this, they wanted to hurry up and not trigger any flags that might bring them unwanted attention, of course, the imbeciles never took any importance in the almost a million demons they slain, many of them from humble villages similar to the Imps and the Rat People Kireina met in the Limbo. Kireina who had developed a heart of empathy and well, wanted a lot of Demons to worship her to accumulate demonic power, felt utterly angered and furious after she learned this truth from Mammon and Plutus.

Although these two seemed mostly indifferent of the demons, even Mammon felt resentment this time because these demons were still his people, and they were slain by these arrogant skeleton invaders! These damn pile of bones not only come here to invade them but arrogantly decide to take away the life of the demons living and sustaining themselves in his layer of hell?!

Mammon couldn\'t help but feel utterly angered, and Kireina shared his feelings. Kireina then quickly teleported here, her cynicism now mixed with utter anger, she just wanted to eat these bones like a dog would chew on them.

These Necrotic Death Lords looked at Kireina with utter horror not only due to these factors, however, but the accumulation of all of them plus something happening right now. After they raised their Undead Factory of extraction of demonic energy, they had to connect to it and remain in a passive state to absorb its energy and repurpose it into their own to form new demonic cores that would allow them to walk and fly leisurely around in here… now all of that could be easily destroyed and ruined by Kireina if she were to choose to attack them or their Undead, they were in a weakened and passive state as they absorbed demonic energy, any further movement could bring their own demise…

Due to this, they felt fear! Fear like these cold-hearted and evil Undead had never felt before in their entire lives! These liches were now left hopeless and helpless before the mercy of the devilish Kireina…!
