Epic Of Caterpillar

1380 [Supreme Wars: Act I] 21/?: The Spider Empress 2

-----

The Spider Empress quickly dominated her own nest after being born, after consequently devouring half her siblings, and then hunting down bigger monsters outside, she gained incredible amounts of strength through leveling up. She acquired enough power after evolving to dethrone the previous Spider Empress, who had grown weaker and old after a long time of living, she killed her by luring the giant into a trap she had prepared, and torn her apart bit by bit, enjoying each piece of her flesh as she devoured her own mother and gained incredible power after that.

When she finished eating such a giant meal, she woke up anew, she was now even bigger than her own mother, and had evolved into a powerful and special variant of a Spider Empress. With her new powers and ruthless nature, she set into a journey, a quest, to conquer the entire forest and beyond. She first had to slowly explore the area, using her own spiders she found out about the other Emperors, and made an alliance with them after realizing that their strength was fairly equal, she was planning on using this alliance to kill the other Emperors, but this ended badly as a factor she never thought would appear so sudden emerged, Kireina.

Kireina ruined everything, her plans, her schemes, her future, she took away all the things she ever wanted, she took away what she thought she would become, she took away all these things, and even in the last moments, when she decided to betray the emperors and showed off her powerful ability similar to Kireina's devour, absorbing the power of those she devoured, it ended in nothing because Kireina ultimately blasted her away with an enormous sphere of lava.

Her end was agonizing, as she was melted and then turned into ashes, dying agonizingly and miserably while cursing Kireina, the foe that was able to compare to her strength and put her down to surpass her at the end… When she died, she was dragged into the depths of Helheim by a mysterious force, where she wandered into a deep abyss as a soul, filled with enormous resentment, she felt like she wanted to die- but she was already dead… However, in such a time as a soul, she gathered her own thoughts and slowly calmed down, over the time she spent as a soul, she learned many things, and her mind evolved.

She learned about herself, about the world some more, and analyzed everything she lived. She had no regrets about what she did when she was born, but she thought that she should had been a better ruler, perhaps she should had trained her spiders individually, perhaps she should had been a better mother than her own mother, who was just as tyrannical as her… Perhaps if she had organized her family and her troops and made them evolve and grow so strong like Kireina did, she could have won. Perhaps… if she had forged strong bonds as allies… But all of that was already gone, she had nobody but herself.

She thought about many things, and although her nature as a grotesque and cold monster remained as she was born as one and wasn't the soul of somebody else nor she had memories of a previous life as a human or something, she began to develop some sort of emotions and feelings, although they were often accompanied with frustration and anger… Until she was suddenly called by a mysterious voice.

"You… the one that once called yourself the Spider Empress… Come to me, and I might have the ability to let you have your revenge."

And like this, she was lured into Hel's castle, where she met her and the other Emperors… Hel greeted her and the others, and quickly gave them new Undead bodies, perfect replicas of their previous living bodies, and then gave them all a purpose.

"You're the former enemies of Kireina. The first ones at that. I want you all to grow stronger as Undead Gods so I can surprise her and deal some emotional damage, maybe some of you even traumatized her a bit, I want you to show her how much you hate her when she comes back… So make sure to grow stronger… Here, you can have these as a gift, because your existences are special due to how you shaped Kireina's life and her nature as a monster…" Hel said, as she gave everybody a strange skull-shaped fruit, which they all ate greedily.

The moment they ate her, their Undead Bodies suddenly became Divine in nature, they turned into Undead Gods, and not only that, but their power skyrocketed greatly to above Great Gods, even, becoming Pseudo Supreme Gods… The Spider Empress never thought she would be given such an opportunity in her life. Although everything was very suspicious, it wasn't as if she had any other choice than to obey Hel and become her servant in exchange for a second chance at killing Kireina. She and the other emperors then spent the rest of the time until Kireina arrived training their own abilities in seclusion…

And amongst them all, the Spider Empress was the one that obviously grew the strongest due to her own innate potential being transferred to this godly form and developing into incredible ways. But not only that, but she had also developed strange new abilities that were meant to be learned by her in the past, but that she was never able to. Hel knew about them a bit, but never looked into much detail about her as she was not as interested and treated them as just a "side project" that she left aside to concentrate into other projects.

It seemed unnatural for her to be so gifted, but the fruit she ate woke up the dormant skills within her very soul, in fact, since the moment she was born that she was special, both in intelligence and in abilities… If she was analyzed by a wiser god, she would be catalogued as a Primordial Beast, a being who was fated to become powerful, and perhaps a calamity of her own, much like the Heroes of Epics… or Kireina.
