Epic of Caterpillarchapter 1182: origins

.

"The origins? Well, the dimension was formed to imprison Lucifer after he reveled against God, or The One, as they like to call him. The other Archdemons with him followed him into the Hell Gate and he ended turning them into Demons with his powers, they're all the Seven Princes of Hell after all." Said Shub-Niggurath.

"I see. I guess it's the same as how the Imps know about it… The old Archangels are the new Princes of Hell and all of that. Interesting… Now, tell me more. You seem to know a lot about the outer universe. So tell me, what is what every outer god wants of this Universe?" I asked.

"What we all want? Its destruction." Said Shub-Niggurath.

"Oh?! Quite bold. Why?" I asked.

"Everyone has their own motives. But we are all outcasts of the Universe the Outer Void is outside this Universe, we were thrown away long ago from the Universe, because we were said to be menaces that put everything in danger. So many want revenge, by destroying it." said Shub-Niggurath.

Apparently, every freaking Outer God wants to destroy the Universe because of "various reasons" but she told me that the biggest one is because they were thrown away. Well, you guys were pretty disgusting maybe, so throwing you away seemed fair in my book. Additionally, they're destructive, cheeky, and evil to the core, so even more reasons. I can tell they're evil by completely not caring if everything in the universe dies with it.

I didn't pursued the questions any further than that, I didn't had any point in doing so, I knew what they were up to for the moment, even if it didn't made any sense and I wanted to know more info, she wasn't going to tell me…

"What can I do for you tell me what you're evading to answer?" I asked.

"Nothing…" she said.

"Everything has a price, say your price." I said.

"You're very cocky, Kireina. But I like that of you. You simply don't care even while speaking with a being such as me, this is amusing by itself. Even beings of your level would be trembling or would had ran away, but you were bold and reckless enough to take this opportunity for yourself-"

"Shut the fuck up and answer the question." I said.

"…"

"…"

The two of us stared for a bit, I didn't even blink.

"You're a cocky little bitch." She said.

"And you too, you're a fucking whore, a literal whore tentacle monster, what do you have at your favor?" I asked.

"Fair enough… What you require to give to me to say such a thing to you is not something you will ever get your hands into… for now." She said.

"How about a Dao?" I asked.

"Dao? Hah! Dao?! Do you have a Universal Dao you can offer to me?" she asked.

"Universal Dao?" I asked.

"Foolish kid, you're just playing around with your tiny little Lesser Dao and the Cosmic Dao, thinking you're a big shot now? Dao come in all sorts of Ranks based in their power. Lesser Dao, Normal Dao, Grand Dao, Lesser Cosmic Dao, Cosmic Dao, Grand Cosmic Dao, Lesser Galactic Dao, Galactic Dao, Grand Galactic Dao, Lesser Universal Dao, Universal Dao, and Grand Universal Dao, and there's more beyond that horizon! At my level, you can only bargain to me using Lesser Universal." She said.

"I see…" I said.

"Do you think you can even make a Lesser Universal Dao?! Even with all your powers or your Trait, that's simply impo-"

"I think I could make some… Not now but in a few more years, maybe just months." I said.

"Months?! A Universal Dao takes eons to make, it is the forge of a whole Universe into a Dao- You're really just an idiot, aren't you? What else, are you going to tell me you're going to birth a universal seed now?!" she asked.

"I could… Everything seems doable I just have to get to that Realm yet." I said.

"You're telling me that if you were of the same Realm as I am, you would be able to make Universal Daos with ease? Who are you trying to trick?" she asked.

"I have the power to create anything without restrictions, the power of something none of you have, something that I created and defies logic itself. I've already birthed several Dao through it and I am just a Rank 2, you can only make 1 Dao per Rank, right? I already have almost ten and none of them were borrowed, I just created them." I said.

"…!"

"You see that I am noy lying, right? You can detect lies from truth." I said.

"Y-You're really… saying the truth!" she muttered.

"As longa as I could reach a similar level to you, I would probably be several dozens of times stronger than you by then, you would probably easily die to me." I said.

"Now you're getting way too cocky!" she said.

"Yeah, because I know I can. Now, Shubby-chan. You're going to join or what?" I asked.

"Don't call me with such name!" she cried.

"…"

"Well, and I won't join you even if you talk about nonsense like that… I am doing this merely out of boredom and because you're interesting, but you're walking outside of your boundaries a lot now." She said.

"Come on don't be like that, we are good friends, aren't we?" I sighed.

"F-Feed me!" she roared.

"Ugh, fine, here…"

I feed Shubby-chan until she finally got her fill. She suddenly stopped being so grumpy and got oddly relaxed and happy. Outer Gods are really such oddballs sometimes… what the heck is going on inside of that monstrous mind of her?

"Now you're happy that you got your snickers?" I asked.

"S-Snickers? What nonsense are you talking about now?" she asked while raising an eyebrow.

"Ah, you really don't get it, huh? So boring…" I sighed.

"You're calling me boring?!" she asked.

"Now, what else can I ask to you? Give me an idea." I said.

"That's your question? Asking me to tell you what you should ask me?!" she asked angrily.
