Epic Of Caterpillar Chapter 1426: The Truth

Chapter 1426: The Truth

-----

"I've calculated a way with the least casualties. Green Feather's family shows incredible potential. If you manage to kill them, we'll gamble it, but there are higher chances for Kireina to survive without their interference, after all they're incredibly powerful."

The One spoke back then to the Mountain Monkey Emperor, telling him the truth. It seemed that Green Feather's family was the key to Kireina's demise. Their power, ability to fly in the skies, summon enormous storms with lightning, and their incredible power as beings blessed by the G.o.ds made them formidable.

By those times when they were still alive, the Gale Birds continued to multiply quickly, their children continued to be born stronger as well by the protection of the G.o.d of Wind, and many powerful Knights were born like this through the teachings of Green Feather's Family.

His sister was destined to become an incredible Saint, a powerful healer, with her, his father, and Green Feather, they would be an unstoppable trio, they would eventually find Kireina and slay her without her being able to do anything.

By killing Green Feather's family and weakening Green Feather severely so Kireina was able to easily pick on him… Kireina's future was saved.

But how? Wasn't Fate completely impossible to defy? Well, Kireina… as long as other beings worked to change her fate, it would change, and like a drop of water over a large quant.i.ty of liquid, it would generate a wave effect, which would affect anything in her surroundings.

Those that were too close to her would also be affected, she was the only one that could be used to defy the Primordial Fate, which would lead the Universe to its ultimate demise.

The Mountain Monkey Emperor explained everything to Green Feather as clearly as possible. It was clear as water that the Mountain Monkey Emperor was incredibly guilty and regrated everything he did… but he knew that it was for a bigger purpose. Saving the Universe… was something too big.

Fate and casualty were so fragile that even by killing three giant birds… the entirety of the future of the Universe could be changed. It was… simply insane. Green Feather was incredibly enraged, cursing The One for his selfishness… But ultimately, he couldn't help but believe that… the Mountain Monkey Emperor did the correct thing at the end.

Because if he had chosen other options, it would had left too much of a chance for Kireina to die, dooming the universe in the process. As Kireina's soul was so weak after reincarnation, if she died as a caterpillar, her soul would weaken and dissipate into nothingness, without having a second chance to reincarnate.

"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d…" Sighed Green Feather. "Couldn't you tell my father about this? I am sure he wouldn't had hurt Kireina and might had even protected her! Why did you… had to kill them… even my sister…"

"The One said that Kireina would enrage your father as she would end up eating the birds anyways. Green Feather, your father was someone incredibly prideful as well… you didn't knew him well, didn't you? He would often break his promises if it was about pride…" Sighed the Mountain Monkey Emperor.

"A-And about my sister?!" Cried Green Feather.

"Your sister would want revenge for her father, no matter what, she would attempt to kill me and then Kireina." Said the Mountain Monkey Emperor.

"N-No… She's an angel! What are you… talking about…" Cried Green Feather.

"…It was predestined by the unmovable forces of Fate, Green Feather." Said the Mountain Monkey Emperor.

"B-b.a.s.t.a.r.d… buy why my mother?! She didn't fight!" Said Green Feather.

"Your mother was powerful… She had a similar personality than your father. If I only killed him, she would raise you and your sister to kill me and also slay Kireina ultimately."

"…d.a.m.n it! Why… so many dead ends… So there… was no other way…" Cried Green Feather. "I hate this… this is so ridiculous… so stupid!"

"I know…" Sighed the Mountain Monkey Emperor.

However, Green Feather suddenly realized something.

"Isn't Kireina dead now? What… is going to happen now?!" Asked Green Feather.

"No, she's not dead." Said the Mountain Monkey Emperor.

"What?! But we saw her… she disintegrated, even her soul!" Said Green Feather.

"It's all part of The One's predictions… It seems she managed to reach this ending way closer than predicted, however. This wasn't supposed to happen so soon, it means that things will change even faster than before…" Said the Mountain Monkey Emperor.

"Even faster than before?!" Asked Green Feather.

"Green Feather, there is something called the Root. This place stores information about all of existence. It is the "bottom" of all of creation, and was formed after the History of Mankind was fragmented into pieces… it stores all info to keep it in place for whenever the original world is finally reformed. Kireina's death doesn't mean her end… She's like a virus, she will just multiply anywhere she goes, as long as a small part of her is somewhere… she'll eventually come back, even stronger than ever before." The Mountain Monkey Emperor said.

"I gave up my life for her because I trusted on her… I entrusted the future of my monkeys, I entrusted the future of the Grand Forest, and also of the Realm of Vida… and she did it, she did what we all thought n.o.body could… She defied the tyranny of the G.o.ds, she became a G.o.ddess herself, and ultimately, she became a Supreme G.o.ddess herself… Don't you see it now? She's… somebody incredible. You cannot use common sense with such an ent.i.ty. Kireina… will be back soon. I know it very well."

The Mountain Monkey Emperor words somehow inspired Green Feather a bit, but he himself didn't know what sort of role he would take in the upcoming future… What was next now? He was still a slave of Hel after all.

"What's… next?" He asked to the Mountain Monkey Emperor.

"What's next? The spider will soon show you what's next." Sighed the Mountain Monkey Emperor. "That treacherous spider…"
