Epic of Caterpillar

Henrietta leaped into the skies and unleashed the power of her Stigma, which quickly made her aura explode with new power. Her Aura of Darkness and Blood gathered together, forming two bat-like wings that emerged from her back, and giving her an even more vampiric look as her skin turned paler, her eyes redder, and her hair long and silver-colored.

Her red armor and her red demonic battle axe absorbed her powers, strengthening her even further. Henrietta was certainly the most surprising addition to the entire battle, and the two Kings were surprised the old Human Emperor had been keeping the existence of such a powerful child a secret!

However, what they didn't know was of her past… Henrietta was actually confined by her father since a young age. After he learned of her dangerous abilities, which could steal the powers of everyone else, he felt fear, yet he couldn't bring himself to kill her because she was so strong that he could find some use for her in the future.

Because of this, she never truly developed any love for her father, and lived confined in an underground cell, being given barely any moldy bread and goat milk, for years, she persisted with just her own strength.

It all changed when her father recklessly charged into a war and died pathetically against the might of the "Summoned Hero" Kireina and her summoner Elfina. The Elven Kingdom won the war, and the Human Empire was at the verge of destruction.

In that time, after sensing the death of many of her family members, their powers flowed into her body one after another, strengthening her tremendously. Her Blood Stigma's powers finally activated when all those bastards died.

Using her strength, Henrietta freed herself from the cell, and revealed her identity as the lost princess, quickly gaining some support from the political party that wanted to change the Empire's ways.

Employing her might, Henrietta took down the competition, her siblings, and stole their powers, leaving them virtually useless, and putting them on jail one after another with the aid of her political party.

In just less than a year, she went from a girl confined in the underground dungeon for years to someone that led the Human Empire to a better future relentlessly.

The Human Empire was rough, but they respected strength. And the strength she possessed made her people believe she could protect them.

And now, allying herself with her father's enemies, she was now trying to make things right. She couldn't let anybody get in the way of the path to a better future that her mother, the only person that ever visited her cell and spoke to her all this time, always dreamed of.

For her deceased mother, that died alone from an unknown disease, she had to fight!

"[Demonic Vampiric Battle Axe Arts]: [Bloody Dominion]!"

Her Battle Axe, Hauteclere, shone with demonic and vampiric might, its scarlet aura unleashed a tremendous power as she swung the titanic axe vertically and horizontally, intercepting all the beams coming from the Hydra and deflecting them!

CLAAAAAAASSSSHH!!!

"GRYYAARGH?!"

The Hydra felt shocked, but it quickly retaliated with its own jaws, as it saw Henrietta close by, dozens of its heads rushed towards her, attempting to pick her up and tear her body down to pieces. Tremendously fast and mighty, it would had been an easy task for just any target but her.

In her current state, as Henrietta temporarily released all the power within her Blood Stigma, she felt like she had endless energy. Her powers going as deeper as the ancestor of Vampires that designed the cursed artifact that allowed the Human Empire to inherit the skills of ancient, summoned heroes.

In this current state, she easily exuded the might of an S+++ Rank being, even if partially, and only temporarily!

"[Demonic Vampiric Battle Axe Arts]: [Scarlet Garden]!"

Henrietta slashed her axe countless times in midair while flying with her blood-made wings, slashing three heads at once, while more kept coming from left and right! Her slashing attacks left an illusion of a garden made of pure red blood!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLAAASH!

"RAAAAHHH!!!"

Yet even with all the might she was unleashing, Henrietta was being slowly overwhelmed by the titanic being. Beams of chaos constantly hit her, and the killing bites of the hydra's heads were mighty, slowly shattering her armor!

CLAAAAAAANK!

That's until the other two Rulers, satisfied with her might, came into battle. Two gigantic mechanical hands fell from the skies and crushed three hydra's heads at once, while the other grabbed the neck of two and tore it out of the monster's body!

CRAAASH! CRAAAAASSSH!

"GRYYYYEEEERGGH…!"

The Chimeric Miasmic Hydra screamed in agony, as it tried to regenerate its heads immediately. Only to be interrupted by hundreds of blinding swords made of rainbow spiritual light!

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOOM!!!

"GRAAAAHHH…!"

The spiritual divine light burned the wounds, inhibiting their further regeneration! The beast stepped back, completely overwhelmed as more metallic fists, cannons, missiles, and spiritual divine magic continued being fired at it!

"SHYAAAAAHH!!!" The beast roared in fury and frustration.

"Sorry for taking a bit, we were amazed by your strength, lad." The Dwarf King laughed, floating in midair as his mechanical pieces assembled into a big, steampunk-looking golem!

"It was a rather fun thing to see… A human emperor with such a kind heart." The Elven King smiled. "Let's do this, Henrietta, you have our support."

"You two… You have my utmost thanks!" Henrietta felt emotional, as a few tears flowed from her eyes. "I'll do things differently… Unlike father, we'll fight together to protect this world!"

The three Rulers rushed into battle, explosions, slashing attacks, and magic bathed the beast. Despite being a mighty SS- Rank being, with all the strongest representants of the three major kingdoms' might, it was incapable of keeping up!

"[Demonic Vampiric Battle Axe Arts]: [Scarlet Catastrophe]!!!"

Henrietta's unleashed her strongest attack with her axe, unleashing an endless burst of crimson blood and demonic power capable of shaking the entire continent.

"[Divine Magic Engineering Arts]: [Super Engine Cannon]!!!"

The Dwarf King transformed his entire golem into one, gigantic cannon, and spending the rest of his Mana, he unleashed his strongest attack, a terrific beam that could even split mountains.

"[Divine Spirit Magic]: [Divine Rainbow Spirit Sword: Freyr]!"

And the Elven King gathered all the might of the Elemental Spirits together into the form of a titanic sword, as long as a one hundred meters, and made entirely out of rainbow spiritual light, and sent it flying towards the chimera!

All attacks combined as one, piercing the Hydra Chimera's chest, and shattering its big, gigantic magic crystal core, and so its heart, soul, and everything in between!

"GRYYSSHAAAAAAHHHH!!!"

BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!

The massive beast exploded tremendously, the shockwave alone killing most nearby monsters as well, shaking the entire continent!

And at the same time, signaling the powerful bonds that now connected these three nations, that once battled for territory and supremacy, now united against a common foe.

Meanwhile, within the Wastelands, Kireina, her children, and Luminous and the rest managed to destroy the last three Demonic Chaotic Towers, the three titanic figures falling into the floor after an arduous battle!

BAAAAM! BAAAAM! BAAAAAMMM…!

Everyone sighed in relief, exhausted, but at the same time pumped up to finally go to their very last stop, the Demon King's Castle! With no more obstacles on their way, the final dungeon where the origin of this world's peril lived was within their grasp!

"We did it!" Elfina sighed in relief.

"We have to go, no time to waste!" Luminous roared.

"It's finally done…!" Kireina sighed in relief as well. "Now-"

Crack… crack…

However, it was too late, everyone noticed as countless, hundreds of enormous cracks in the sky appeared one after another.

The might opening these cracks coming from the Demon King's Castle itself.

CRAAAASH!

The night sky above them started shattering and opening, leading to a completely different universe…

"It has begun, my dear Kireina!" Laughed the Demon King. "The last stage is here!"

Kireina instantly recognized the world at the other side of the cracks.

It was Genesis.

However, the other cracks that opened led to other completely different worlds!

It wasn't just Genesis! The Necrotic Plane, the Spiritual Plane, the Dream Plane, the Chaotic Plane…

All four Pseudo Dimensions, which connected many universes, worlds, and dimensions together all opened themselves before Grand Terra, alongside Genesis.

"What…?!" Kireina felt perplexed, as she noticed a gigantic spider weaving the threads of space and time. "You?!"

"Do you like the gift I've prepared for you, Kireina~?"
