Epic of Caterpillar

Chapter 2302  Within My Sea Of Blood I Carry Their Souls And Dreams

The Void Blades of Yog-Sothoth could cut through all and even distorted space itself as they moved, creating shockwaves that constantly pushed Noah away, sometimes twisting and breaking down his body.

Noah rapidly regenerated, almost within a millisecond, and quickly countered with his powerful spear, unleashing piercing blows that released giant explosions of crimson and black cosmic energy.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

They exchanged hundreds of blows in mere seconds, explosions of cosmic energy and void reverberated across the cosmos. Noah continued to regenerate rapidly, his Domain, resembling a sea of Blood, suddenly started to change shape.

SPLAAASH!

The Sea of Emptiness below shook due to their attacks, yet Yog-Sothoth couldn\'t care less, with a single step forward, his giant swords cut through Noah countless times, dividing his body and soul into hundreds of tiny pieces.

"DIE!"

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

For a moment, the Ancient Outer God smiled, quickly opening his jaw to unleash a Void Beam and finish Noah by turning what was left of him into ashes.

The beam hit at point blank within a split second, Noah\'s vision turned completely black.

BOOOM!

"Hahah… HAHAHA! I WON! Now, where are your- UGH?!"

However, before Yog-Sothoth could search for Noah\'s Soul Fragments, which he was sure wouldn\'t be affected as they were pieces of Azathoth\'s soul, something happened.

He saw countless tiny particles of dust, the blood he had burned to a crisp, rapidly regaining their blood color, Noah\'s Domain overflowed, as his entire body was remade out of the sea of blood formed from his ashes.

FLUOSH!

"What…?!"

Yog-Sothoth had not understood this entire time that Noah\'s incredible regeneration wasn\'t everything he had. Since the battle began that he saw his body as nothing but a weak mortal\'s body at most.

Gods that possessed physical, fleshy bodies were often looked down by superior cosmic beings, after all, to attain a greater self, both Soul and Body had to combine together into a single object.

Yet Noah was different, all Vampires of Abyss were different, Soul and Body were separate for them, it brought its advantages and disadvantages…

He thought that with this, he could essentially kill Noah while leaving his soul for him to eat.

Yet the truth about Noah\'s powers were finally emerging in front of the Ancient Outer God\'s eyes.

"Aaahh… What a waste of blood," Noah suddenly smiled, his head twisting around his body, made completely out of Divine Cosmic Blood, countless Cosmic Blood Soul Servants constantly emerging and disappearing out of his body, compacting into him. "Oh well, I have way more where that came from."

"Y-You…! You\'re nothing but blood?!" asked Yog-Sothoth.

"No, I am a man of flesh and bones," Noah\'s body returned to normal. "I am more alive than you could ever be, you accursed embodiment of the void. Do you know why I reject the powers of Azathoth within me? It\'s because I don\'t need it. I don\'t need to be like your kind, I don\'t need to be like my father… I am Noah, the Blood God Emperor!"

Noah, the prideful fiend, rejects his birthright.

He doesn\'t not need any of that power, with what he had obtained through his long life, the powers he had obtained through effort and time.

It was enough for him; he didn\'t need any of Azathoth\'s powers! The very reason why the Outer Gods looked down on him was also the reason why he felt so prideful.

"Isn\'t that right, Vampire Progenitor? Bloodshot Eye?"

As he talked, his Blood Sea shaped itself once more, the figures of the Vampire Progenitor, his mentor and the entity that gave him the power of a Vampire in his first life appeared, alongside Bloodshot Eye, the Lesser Outer God who became his protector and benefactor.

Both of them had died long ago, even their souls were gone, and only their memories and essence lived within Noah, his face showed no emotions of sadness, yet one could notice within his eyes, the sorrow he felt.

"I carry with me the countless souls and blood of foes and friends," Noah said. "I am not just myself; I am all of them, this includes even your children, thousands of Outer Gods I\'ve killed and eaten. They\'re within me, coming to greet their father, Yog-Sothoth."

And then there was a third figure that appeared behind him, slightly resembling a woman, with a tender and motherly smile.

The only being that nurtured him and helped him grow when he reincarnated, the being that sacrificed herself for his sake…

The one that helped him achieve his greatness.

"Isn\'t that right, Nyarlathotep?"

"…"

"…"

"…"

The three figures remained in silence, looking at Yog-Sothoth. Even the Ancient Outer God felt a shiver down his spine. He had never truly understood what Noah was properly, but to think he had already attained such a level of power, without even relying on Azathoth\'s Soul Powers!

"Just what… what is this monster?"

Yog-Sothoth laughed, before a crimson light covered his eyes, Noah appeared before him within mere seconds, piercing through space with his Void Elemental Divinity.

The powers of the Vampire Progenitor, Bloodshot Eye, and Nyarlathotep merged into his body and Soul once more, empowering him.

"{Lifeblood Exceed: Level 4}"

RUMBLE!

His entire presence shook the cosmos surrounding them, the emptiness of space tearing apart before Noah\'s crimson-red Aura, Yog-Sothoth quickly evaded, yes, he evaded his blow!

CLAAASH!

Yet another blow reached him from the left, Noah\'s own body expanded as a giant Vampire holding an axe cut through Yog-Sothoth\'s left arm.

"Wha…?!"

SLAAASH! Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn

And then another swordsman vampire slashed his back, cutting through his flesh and soul at once.

"Stop!"

But before he could say anything else, a gigantic golden dragon emerged from Noah\'s blood, blasting him with a beam of pure light.

BOOOM!

"T-This is…!"

Yog-Sothoth realized the wounds were deep and wouldn\'t regenerate so quickly.

Yet Noah wasn\'t giving him any time to rest, appearing before him once more.

His entire body bringing forth an endless army of beings, most of the tremendously strong.

"Do you understand now? You shall too become one with my Sea of Blood. Because I am them, and they are me. I am a Legion of the Fallen, I am Noah Luna Noctem."

His spear returned to its former appearance, a blinding golden sword.

"Shine, Excalibur."

FLAAASH!
