Epic of Caterpillar

Chapter 1378 [Supreme Wars: Act I] 18/?: The Power Of Ruling Is Not Enough?!

As a Titan, he was born considerably smaller than others, and sometimes he was even considered weaker in many aspects, he wasn\'t at all the strongest, and his capabilities in battle were quite limited, but he continued growing stronger in other aspects, such as training and enhancing the power of his "Ruling". But what were the full extents of this fantastical power?

Ultimately, he learned a powerful technique after having revived as an Undead Titan God, and he mastered it on his stay in Helheim over this entire time. His power had increased greatly, and he believed this time that things would be different, now that he had a power of his own, things would certainly go better as he was able to enhance the power of his allies as he ruled over them and enhanced their power as he led them to battle.

And this one power that he unleashed against Zehe, the woman that had massacred all of his siblings in a few seconds was the power of ruling over somebody! This power allowed Megamedes the ability to control a person\'s body and will, and he could order them anything he wanted!

Megamedes celebrated that his last resort attack worked. He had not used it before because it wasted all his energies, but this was a moment where he had to use it or he would die! Zehe quickly felt as if a strange and foreign force was taking over her entire body.

"Ungh? I am below his rule?" Realized Zehe.

"Now, kill yourself!" Laughed Megamedes.

Megamedes gave out a simple order, and order that Zehe could not disobey! Despite her struggles, she felt that she couldn\'t even struggle, her entire body and will was below this titan\'s power. Megamedes realized he wasn\'t able to kill Zehe, but he knew who could… Herself! And this is why he decided to ask her such a ridiculous thing such as killing herself.

"Unngh…! No… Nooooo!" Cried Zehe, as she glanced with despair as her entire body began to move on its own, several blades made of darkness materialized around her, and they began to pierce through her body! Blood began splattering everywhere, as her flesh was being pierced by all these deadly weapons! Her mouth vomited blood, and her eyes started to roll!

"Hahahaha! Brothers, I have avenged you!!!" Laughed Megamedes. "Now that I\'ve killed her, I must devour her and- Eh?"

Megamedes quickly realized that Zehe had yet to fall into the sea, she was pretending to be dead in the middle of space, but it was very unconvincing, she was just floating there.

"Oh? Ah! You noticed! I guess it really doesn\'t work a second time, isn\'t it?" Zehe spoke, quickly regaining her composure. She looked back at the man as he wondered what was happening right now. Just now she had gained her life back! No, in fact, she never died to begin with.

"Y-You didn\'t die? But your blood…! I saw it!" He cried.

"My blood? Oh, this is shadows." Said Zehe, as the blood splattered over her clothes suddenly turned into dark particles and dissipated.

"A-Ah… No… I-It can\'t be… my ruling is absolute!" He cried. "You\'re not in a higher realm than me either, so it is impossible for you to resist it unless somebody else assisted you!"

"Well yeah, it worked. I killed myself!" She said, as Zehe smiled so devilish that for some time she seemed to resemble Kireina, it seems that Kireina ended making her first wife into a sadist deep down… "The thing is, I cannot kill myself."

"Y-You can\'t…?!" Megamedes was left speechless.

"Of course not. I am immune to my own attacks. Why? Well, look…" Said Zehe, suddenly opening her own torso and splitting herself in two, instead of blood, what came out was black smoke, which were actually shadows, endless and dark abyssal shadows.

Zehe had become a Pseudo Supreme Goddess by now, and that meant that she was a being of pure energy more than anything, even her physical body was merely a materialization of such a power. She was now made out of darkness and shadows, and this made her completely immune to her own attacks, composed of her own body. When she attacked herself, she pretended to be wounded, each of the attacks didn\'t actually hurt her, they just became part of her again.

"T-This can\'t be… You can\'t just do that!" Cried Megamedes. "Y-You became your own element?! That\'s… not even the Supreme Gods…"

"Not even the Supreme Gods? Yeah, they\'re all their own elements. How outdated are you with powers and abilities? Do Titans always remain as fleshy beings even at this level? Ah, I guess you\'re just a giant walking corpse, huh?" Wondered Zehe. "Anyways, it should be enough for now… Yes, that\'s it."

Zehe murmured something as Megamedes slowly began to move back, trying to quickly escape, but Zehe caught him from behind!

"Hey! Where are you going? I just came out with the same spell you used against me, but of my element! Want to check it out?" Said Zehe, chasing down Megamedes as she waved her Ego Staff, and then a shot of darkness reached the man\'s back.

FLAAAASH!

"Unngh… Aaaghh…! Eh? Nothing happened?" Megamedes looked at Zehe and realized he wasn\'t wounded.

"Of course not, you\'re going to be the one to do that for me, seeing how you like making people want to kill themselves… Why don\'t you kill yourself? Abyssal Shadow Divine Magic: Void Contract."

"Ungh?!"

And then, Megamedes felt it.
