Epic of Caterpillar

As I grew frustrated over the little secrets between Freyja and Flora they didn't want to adress, I glanced at Surtr and his bossy companion, the last two new members of my fleet. It was about time they started talking! They've been pretty quiet for a while now, haven't they?

"Whatever the case... Now that those things are done with. Time for a talk with the big guy over there. Surtr, what were you doing, and how did you even started fighting Freyja and Gerda to begin with?" I asked.

"Hm? What?"

He was still eating like nothing else mattered...

Seriously, is this the same Surtr as before?!

"Were you even paying attention to anything, you idiot?!"

Ruby raged angrily, her flames making her small body look even larger, as she slapped Surtr's head, not like it even hurt him.

"Um, no, I was busy eating, it feels like I haven't eaten in ages," he sighed, groaning. "So what were you talking about?"

"This idiot... seriously!" Freyja groaned. "Don't you remember you were attacking us out of nowhere?! Just when we went to chase after Odin, you appeared screaming his name, and instead of joining us you started trying to cleave us apart!"

"Oh?" Surtr scratched his head. "Did I do that?! Hmm... I just can't remember! Hahahahaa!"

"Do you want us to cleave your head apart, so you remember?!" Gerda screamed angrily, pointing her axe at him.

"Hmmm..." Surtr squinted his eyes the moment he saw Gerda, admiring her beautiful muscular body and then her axe. "A fellow Titan... And that axe! An axe made from father's bones? Gerda was your name? I don't remember you at all! You are not a fire titan, huh?"

"I belong to the mountain titan tribe," said Gerda. "But does that even matter?! This is my axe, something father granted to me as he died! Over the years, Freyr helped me turn this bone into a mighty axe, the weapon I hold dear. I'm not giving it to you, fire barbarian!"

"Hmph! And who give you the right to say that?!" groaned Surtr. "You Mountain scaredy cats, always hiding from the big battles!"

"Shut up! You fire barbarians only think about fighting and war, insane psychopaths!" said Gerda.

"What did ya say?!" roared Surtr, growing angrier.

To think what would make him get angry was fighting with another Titan, these Titans are really something else. They're even a bit racist between tribes, what the hell?

"What would Ymir say if he saw you fighting like this?"

I calmed them down, my words spreading everywhere and making space tremble.

They quickly glanced at me, I interrumpted Flora because she was going to be the one to calm them down.

But nope, I'm the protagonist here dear, so I'll be doing it.

"Surtr, if you don't want to die this very instant, you will explain yourself to us," I said. "You will tell us why you were fighting Freyja and Gerda, and Ruby will tell us why you were mad!"

"What?! You can't just...!" Ruby complained.

"Hmm..." Surtr fell silent. "Okay then."

He seemed to have recognized my strength and calmed down.

He sighed.

"I seriously don't remember much of what happened, seriously!" he said. "My mind is just... too blurry. But I do remember that I marched outside of Muspelheim after sleeping for a long time to recover my powers fully. It was when the new Era began. I wanted a rematch against Odin and Thor, hopefully to just kill both if possible! So I sought them, seeking their divine traces. Eventually, a catastrophe occurred and cracks leading to some other plane... dragged me elsewhere."

"And what about that cocky and bratty girl?" I pointed at Ruby.

"Oh, that's Ruby... Right! She was also the one that requested my assistance! She offered me unparalleled power, and she gave it to me!" laughed Surtr. "By fusing with this pipsqueak, I gain tremendous power equal or superior to supreme gods! I become a Supreme God of Fire! With that I was confident I could defeat Odin and Thor!"

"T-The thing is... Err, my power might be too stimulating for him, so when we fused to fight against the divine beasts that appeared in that realm we were stranded into... Our minds went a bit insane," said Ruby. "And... Uuhh, we ended attacking anything and anybody?"

"Seriously?!" I sighed, facepalming.

"I can't believe how irresponsible they are," Zehe commented at my side, she had been mostly silent but decided to join the conversation.

"But it makes sense," said Brontes. "I guess its because their elements are so compatible, so they gain so much power together they go insane..."

"Does it feel good to be one?" wondered Nesiphae, trying to incite something.

Ruby grew flustered, but Surtr didn't get it.

"W-What are you implying?!" Ruby cried. "I-I... I would never feel... g-good with this brute! He is just a good vessel for me! My body cannot maintain itself too well within areas that aren't rich in spiritual energy, so a vessel is necessary! T-That's all!"

"Hm, so that happened then..." Freyja nodded, rubbing her chin. "Hahhh... It can't be helped, leave him be for now."

"Alright, I guess so," I nodded. "Surtr, you'll work for us then. We're on our way to the Spiritual Plane, once I pick up all my friends. And maybe we'll conquer Abyss in the way... maybe. I had thought about taking over the entire world here, but I've begun to think differently over time, so maybe just getting out of this hellhole would be enough."

"Very well," he said. "As my saviors, I swear my loyalty until we confront Odin and his Thor and kill them both."

"H-Hey don't forget about my promise too!" Ruby said. "You promised me we would save

my Empire from my evil sister! It was all for that!"

"Hmm, did I ever promise that?" Surtr acted dumb.

"You did you idiot! Idioooot!" Ruby started slapping his head angrily, but Surtr wasn't even

affected.

"I suppose that's another side quest to add to the list," I sighed. "Sapphirine, do you also have the same intentions?"

"Yes... all of my siblings escaped our sister's tyranny and went to look for Heroes, Vessels that could amplify our strength and also armies to bring alongside us, so we can defeat her..." she said.

"We'll have to gather back together and... Huh?! I can sense two siblings a bit farther from here!" Ruby pointed into the distance.

"Oh yeah? Then I guess we're quite close to our destination," I said, looking into the distance.

As we advanced across the wastelands, the dark lands quickly began to twist and transform lugubriously. Giant forests of even larger black trees emerged here and there, and Vampiric Beasts, hordes of hundreds, would appear sporadically.

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

However, Wall, with her giant cannons loaded with my Divine Authorities, Daos, and Cosmic Energy, easily blasted them all into smithereens, so they weren't an issue at all, if anything, they were just little bags of EXP.

But things changed, the landscape started cooling down, and we began to enter the frozen lands, which had suddenly begun to spread across Abyss.

This frost wasn't coming from just the ground, but the skies, as the formerly crimson moon of Abyss had suddenly turned azure, covered with pure ice, an endless rain of snow fell from this

point.

And in the distance, a huge castle made of frost emerged.

RUMBLE!

And there was a terrifying horde of frozen and blazing giants guarding it.
