Epic of Caterpillarchapter 1238: discussions between the dead

Hel had been utterly furious after the events that had transpired, Kireina's offense quickly shattered any hope she had to make her a temporal ally or something, as she began to quickly hate Kireina beyond belief.

She saw her as the ultimate enemy, if it wasn't for her stupidity, the Netherworld Plane Hegemonies, which she saw as her big rich daddies, wouldn't be so angry at her!

Hel had been planning to become their allies for eons now! Despite never becoming a Supreme, Hel had been in Genesis for a lot of time, since the Supreme Gods battled in the Ragnarök and even before that.

Born from Loki, the Great Trickster Goddess, she was a being that naturally harbored Death. Due to circumstances, she quickly grew older and quickly began developing more powers.

However, she required sustenance, and in the middle of the war, she took a bold decision! While all the Great Spirits, the original "gods" of the world were being slaughtered one by one by hundreds of Gods, she and Hades flew towards the Death Spirit while it was on its last moments, and luckily managed to get a part each of the two.

She didn't knew anything else of Hades since then, but for herself, this piece made her a powerhouse of Death Attribute in the entirety of Genesis. Even the Supreme Gods could not properly provoke her, even less the World's Will despite being so angered she ate her son!

This was because Great Gods and above were connected to the World's Laws! While the Supreme Goddess of Life and Origin maintained and supported "Life" she supported "Death" and there was no greater authority in such an element as crucial as this… because of this, she had an almost untouchable status and was seen as something similar to a Supreme Goddess…

And about Hades? Apparently, he had become the God of Nether Death, and his authority might be comparable to hers, but he had gone missing for some strange reason, and had not been seen anywhere else.

Hel was always afraid of him because he had almost the same power and authority as her, but she was the one that stole all the fame and credit for it… However, he just never showed up.

Even now she thought about Hades and was worried about him showing up and ruining things but now that she became the supreme goddess of death and end, this was nothing really to care for.

"Kireina… Hades might had been a threat, but he's nowhere to be seen now. I guess I am so strong he wouldn't be able to do anything against me anyways… But you, Kireina, you're a threat now, a big threat, I have to really get you out of the picture…" thought Hel.

"Lady Hel, we come with some reports we had found out."

"More about Kireina, basically."

"Go on…" sighed Hel.

The Necrotic Death Lords emerged at her side like phantasmal flames and told her the news they found out. Apparently, it was already well known that Kireina had become allied with the Prince of Greed in Hell itself, and even became his Champion from all things.

This meant that Kireina had officially allied with Hell and was no longer a neutral between the conflict of Netherworld Plane and Gates of Hell. She had chosen the opposite, side, well, not as if it wasn't already obvious.

"That damn Kireina! Who does she think she is?! She has allied the Demons from all things?! Aren't they invaders to this world too? I thought that Flora and Aura were against them! What is she even doing now? Does she wants to make her strongest allies in Genesis hate her now? Hmm… Well, that would be for the best, but I fear that something else might happen." Sighed Hel.

"Isn't Lucifer in here as the Supreme of Space?" asked one of the Necrotic Death Lords.

Hel fell silent.

"Right…" she said.

"Hm, perhaps he will join her? This might prove to be troublesome…" said another.

"No, don't speak nonsense. Lucifer might be a bastard but he wouldn't join a weakling like Kireina, his goals are beyond her understanding and she would only be an hindrance, perhaps the greedy Mammon agreed, but Lucifer? Based in all the data we have gathered about him, that's impossible."

"Indeed. Lucifer is someone above everyone here, he is a being that can only be confronted by the Hegemonies of our Netherworld Plane."

"His Avatar has remained true neutral all this time, I doubt he'll change."

"Hmmm… I hope so, if not, something bad could happen, the supreme of space is not scary because he's just a supreme, the Space Element is deadly in the hands of an expert, all Supreme Gods are experts of their element, would you imagine what kind of monstrous power would he have as a Supreme God of Space? It is already well known he can temporarily ignore the world's laws and even travel across the Outer Universe…" sighed Hel.

The Necrotic Death Lords grew restless as they thought about such a thing, however, Hel decided to not adress the situation anymore, knowing or not knowing about Kireina's alliance with Mammon didn't affected her plans, which were as simplistic as wanting to slay her.

"Unlike us, Mammon is also too strong, he cannot manifest here. He would need to spread Demonic Towers, perhaps, but that's not likely, Kireina wouldn't be able to even acquire them without a lot of money, Mammon is also not someone interested in this place." Said a knowledgeable Necrotic Death Lord.

"The Princes of Hell, unlike us, lack motivation and are lazy. They wouldn't go around doing stuff like this, they're all probably just playing along the foolish fairy. While making her think she actually got allies. They might be even rooting for us to kill her, while all of this is just a joke to them, a show." Said another.

"Indeed… Even if she killed our kin, it was on her own accord, the Princes of Hell are simply… above her to even care." Said the third.

"Hmph… We'll see about that… Don't lower your guards." Said Hel
