Epic of Caterpillarchapter 2150: a world that has changed many times

When I reached the ground of Abyss' surface, the impact was so strong it shattered my entire body into pieces. Not only that, but I felt like the ground below burned and melted. When I finally opened my eyes dizzily, I found myself floating over a gigantic lake of at least ten kilometers of length made completely out of molten rock. My monstrous form was no more, but I felt like I could turn into that at any time without much cost. I was back into my usual fairy appearance.

"Huh…"

I yawned a bit before floating up into the air, I sighed in relief as I stretched my arms. A lot has happened, maybe too much. From killing Nirvana to then kill that Outer God, to outright battle the entire Outer Realm's population, kill Shub-Niggurath, save my daughter, and then kill Shub-Niggurath's own daughter.

Yeah, it's a lot to process, but I feel fine. My family is inside of my World Realm. Aura and Lucifer are… somewhere. I don't know where they went but they should be alright, seeing how strong they are. Team 1 and 3 are somewhere. I can feel they're alive. Not very well, but alive.

I need to get there asap.

"Alright, so where the hell did I landed on?" I wondered, swimming across the lake. The molten rock could not even hurt my skin.

I looked around carefully, with my expanded senses, to find that my surrounding was a completely barren wasteland. All covered by pitch-black stone. There were some huge crystals here and there, they emanated corrupted spirit energy, and surrounding them there was a lot of flames.

They must be meteors that fell from the Spiritual Plane, I presume.

"Oh, yeah, of course."

And when I looked into the sky, I quickly realized this wasn't getting any better. The black skies of Abyss were split open. There was a huge crack leading to a very colorful world, and then another to a pitch-black world, where I saw large shadows constantly pouring out from. Huge crystals and floating islands were falling from the colorful crack.

"The Spiritual Plane and the Outer Plane… Did they get permanently connected to Abyss now?" I wondered.

"Most likely, the damage dealt to the Dimensional Pillars is immense." Suddenly, I heard Lucifer speaking. I looked up and found her floating above me. I could even see her panties from here, they were white. Okay maybe that was unnecessary.

"Did the wormhole do this?" I asked her. "And where were you? And where's Aura?"

"Aura's resting inside of my World Realm." Lucifer said. "Sadly, after we landed, you fell asleep so I didn't wanted to wake you up. You looked very tired. Aura was exhausted and very tired. The Clouds above drained him a lot out of his power, so he'll have to nap for a while before he can recover."

"Aw, well, I hope he gets better." I sighed. "I could give him a few elixirs, I think I can make some now, right? I've got cosmic energy and alchemy. Oh, yeah."

POOF!

Suddenly, materials combined together in my hands out of thin air, all automatically extracted from my World Realm, a dozen flasks full of a blue liquid materialized.

[You have synthetized [Cosmic Elixir (SSS Rank)] x12!]

[You earned 120.000 Skill Proficiency.]

[The [Alchemy Arts: Lv6] Skill has Leveled Up!]

"There you go, I got Cosmic Energy to spare now, so feel free to give this to him, as an apology mostly, for dragging him into mess after mess." I felt honestly a bit sorry.

"It's fine, I am sure he would be fine with just a wink from you, he's head over heels for you, that man…" Sighed Lucifer, taking the flasks and storing them inside her World Realm. "The cat inside my World Realm will feed them to him once he wakes up."

"The cat?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Remember that huge lion that could summon doors?" She asked.

"Oh! The Great God of Spatial Gates or something!" I nodded. "Wait, is he your only assistant?"

"I could call some demons but that would be too much. I can handle most things by myself anyways. Unlike most people, I don't have any sentient person inside of my World Realm." Laughed Lucifer. "Oh, and yes, that above the sky was caused by the wormhole. At least we rescued your daughter, but even then, they managed to accomplish what they wanted."

"I guess." I sighed, looking into the skies and then into the barren wasteland in front of me. It wasn't as barren, there was a huge crimson forest right around the corner, just around… a hundred kilometers from here. Abyss was a really huge world. At least ten times as big as Jupiter.

"This entire world is now being invaded by the Outer Gods; it will soon come to an end… They're seeking Noah above all else, but I doubt they would spare the people in the way. Well, this is the perfect opportunity to test how strong the Vampires of this world are. Will they be as strong as peak mortals, or actually comparable to monsters like us?"

"Seeing how you said this world was so precious because it was a big Origin World Fragment, I am positive they must at least have some strong people around…" I said. "Hey bat, are you there?" I didn't want to call my family right now, they were all resting inside my World Realm after all that battle, so I called the bat instead.

POOF!

"I am the Blood God! Don't you dare call me a bat again!" He angrily barked. "And- Ooooh?! We're back! My precious world! Abyss! Ahhh, it is as big as I remember, such beauty- Huh?!"

However, he quickly looked into the skies in shock.

"Yeah there's the cracks, it's new I guess." I laughed.

"No, that's not it!" He said angrily. "T-That Red and Green Moon weren't there when I was here the last time… What happened here? How could two whole moons have been born out of nowhere? And their presences… No, there's something really wrong going on since I left!"

"Huh, so it's not the same as before?" I wondered. "Interesting… How about we explore that forest while we are on the way? I'm moving directly to where group 1 and 3 are located, so let's see whatever we find in the way."

"This is strange…" The Blood God kept looking into the skies. "Back then, there was only the Silver Moon."
