Epic of Caterpillar

Chapter 1887 Ancient Gods' Records

?

-----

Hercules was crushed by Brunhild's foot, as his entire body started to completely disintegrate due to all the divine power she was exuding. The visions she saw within her dreams, and the mission the Ancient Gods left for her, it was all for a purpose, the Giants, descendants of the Ancient Gods, were not meant to bring destruction and despair to this world, they were meant to protect it, to save it!

"T-This is… impossible…!" Hercules muttered to himself, as his entire physical body dissipated.

BOOOOOOOMMMM…!

A gigantic shockwave and an explosion of multiple colors erupted all around the attack that Brunhild unleashed, cleansing from the face of the world all of the Undead near her, and making many of the Giant Undead fall.

  "No… NOT YET!"

However, the voice of Hercules echoed once more, Brunhild's eyebrows only slightly rose, as her gigantic form seemed unshaken by knowing he had yet to completely die.

FLUOOOOOSH!

A massive accumulation of souls and the enormous soul of Hercules emerged in front of her, utilizing all the power he held, Hercules channeled more and more of the Nether within the Portal leading to the Necrotic Plane, the Undead constantly coming out of it, in just a second, merged with him into a mass of twisting bodies and a phantasmal, furious soul.

"I am the strongest… I SHALL REMAIN SUPREME!!!" Roared the phantasmal soul of Hercules, whose made-up body quickly reached even Brunhild's height! "RAAAAHHH!!!"

He stepped forward, fusing with his strange Miasmic Ego as a powerful black armor covered his body, and a gigantic Black Axe was materialized on his right arm, which he furiously swung against Brunhild.

Brunhild, however, wasn't even surprised nor shaken. The tattoos across her body were constantly flowing with Divine Power and an Ancient Strength that the Gods of this World once possessed.

All these tattoos, these glowing lines, they were a power that allowed her to access the "Records" of the Ancient Gods, their strength stored within the Most Ancient Entity in the entirety of Reality… The Root, the Record Keeper!

"[Ancient God's Records]"

FLAAAAAAASH!

Suddenly, everyone in the battlefield gasped in shock as they saw Brunhild's aura grow several times bigger, it shaped itself into the forms of many tall Giants- no, Titans. From muscular and bearded men to wise-looking beautiful women, all of them unified their lasting strength, left behind within these Ancient Records into her.

"That power won't work anymore!" Roared Hercules, his power growing stronger as he slowly started to become a pseudo vessel of the Ruler of the Necrotic Plane, his power was overflowing!

"[Ancient God's Magic]: [Heaven Splitting Fist]!"

Brunhild's fist reached the aberrant Hercules' chest, unleashing a bright light of holiness, which began to shatter his black armor and burn his very soul.

CRAAAAAASSSHHH!!!

"Unnnggh?! Y-YOUUU!"

Hercules grew desperate, swinging his gigantic axe at Brunhild and attempting to cut her into two halves! However…

"[Ancient God's Magic]: [Cosmic Void Skin]!"

FLAAASH!

Her skin turned into a metallic black color; the axe that impacted her instantly gained cracks and started to shatter and break apart into pieces with every hit that reached her!

CRAAASH! CRAAASH! CRAAASH!

"W-What?!" Hercules was left flabbergasted, as Brunhild pointed her right hand's index finger at him.

"[Ancient God's Magic]: [Star Finger]!"

FLAAASH!

Her finger suddenly grew like a metallic spear, piercing through Hercules soul several times, and then throwing his gigantic body into the floor.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!

"GRAAAAAGGH…!"

BAAAAAAAAMMM!!!

Hercules fell into the floor, coughing miasma and nether as he felt his soul beginning to slowly crumble and decay, the divine light spreading across it was tremendously strong.

"W-What did you- Ungh…! AAAGGH…! M-My soul… I cannot die… No… If my soul dies then…!"

"It'll be the real end of you."

Brunhild's fury knew no limits, her gigantic fists quickly moved at sonic speed, flashing towards Hercules, and striking his body like falling, furious stars!

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

Each fist generated a tremendous tremor everywhere across the entire island, so much that it reached the Tombstone where the Genie was, making everything in there begin to crumble apart!

TRUUUUMMMMM…!

"GRYYYYAAAAEEEGGGHH…!"

Hercules screamed in agony as his soul was being completely decimated into tiny pieces constantly, not with just magic, but with Brunhild's sheer strength!

"[Divine Relic Magic]: [Celestial Mjolnir]!"

FLUUUUOOOOSH!

Suddenly, Brunhild raised her right hand into the heavens, gathering all her divine power into a single temporary materialization of a powerful weapon envisioned by the Giant Tribe, the legendary Celestial Mjolnir, an item said to have been one of the tools the Ancient Gods used to shape this world within the Giant Tribe's Mythology.

It was a gigantic, beautiful hammer made of pure gold and white metal, shining resplendently as it unleashed a divine lightning from within. Brunhild's furious eyes glared down at Hercules pitiful being, incapable of fighting back against her as any of his attacks or magic dealt absolutely zero damage…

"For my mother… for the entire Giant's tribe… I shall execute you for good, Hercules, you traitor!" She roared, gritting her teeth. "DIEEEE!!!"

"W-Wait… Don't… PLEASEEE! STOOOOP!!!" Hercules screamed and asked for mercy, as a gigantic hammer impacted his very soul.

CRAAAAAAAASSSSSHHHHH!!!

The enormous explosion of divine lightning echoed everywhere, reaching Brunhild's surroundings. All Undead disappeared in an instant after being exposed to this powerful Celestial Lightning, while the portal leading to the Necrotic Plane instantly closed, and what's more…

TRUUUUMMM…! RUMBLE!

The Celestial Lightning reached the Tombstone, impacting the closed gates and shattering them apart, alongside most of the Tombstone's interior, reaching its depths and beginning to kill most monsters that the Genie had prepared for them!

Meanwhile, Hercules consciousness slowly faded away, his mind filled with horror, disbelief, and shock as his very being completely disappeared from existence.

"Is this… Divine… Retribution?" 

FLAAAASH!

The light reached the skies, cleaning them from the black clouds, as the sunlight from above shone brightly below the sands and the crumbling tombstone, Brunhild's gigantic body stood there, like a all-seeing being…

POOF!

However, an instant later, she returned to her normal size, and fell over the sand clumsily.

"Uwaaahhh!"

SPLASH!
