Epic Of Caterpillar

Chapter 2622 - 2623: Escaping

-----

"Frank! Hurry! To the portal! This is a temporary Realm created by our Father, without us holding it together, it is collapsing upon its own weight and being consumed by the Sea of Nothingness!"

The Sea of Nothingness, such a terrifying place that somehow resonated with Frank's "past" more than anything else.

A place well known by every Overseer…

Where countless bubbles floated, endlessly across a boundless expanse.

"W-What was that vision?!"

Frank saw it, even without seeing it with his eyes.

As the son of an Overseer, he didn't need to experience or see things to learn they existed.

This information was already within his own being.

"Boy! Are you listening to me?! Run before the cathedral falls apart, or worse the entire Realm!"

He was startled by Michael's voice, as he quickly began running.

"R-Right!"

CRASH!

RUMBLE!

The cathedral was falling apart in front of Frank, things were looking bad!

The portal, however, was right in front of him.

BOOOM!

However, before he could escape, a giant boulder fell right between him and the portal.

"Ah, shit!"

Frank saw the boulder, his eyes widening.

"What are you doing? You're the son of an overseer; you're also an Angelic Knight of Humility! Use the Hands of Humility!"

"The Hands…!"

Frank recalled that strange ability, the technique he used to hold back Wasp.

"The Hand of Humility is a powerful manifestation of your own kindness and selflessness. The stronger your Humility is, the stronger they can become, and multiply."

"Right…!"

As he saw more boulders falling and one of the pillars about to come rushing towards him, Frank swung his hands forward.

"HAAAAH!"

With a furious roar, his aura erupted from his body, countless white hands with small, feathered wings manifested one after another!

FLAAASH!

The power of Humility manifested fully, the hands surrounded him completely, stopping the boulders, the pillar, and also…

BOOOM!

Punching the boulder in front of him into smithereens!

"What…?! This is amazing…!"

It was a much simpler power, and yet very useful, just what he needed.

"HURRY!"

"Ah, yeah!"

Frank didn't let himself get distracted, as he rushed into the portal without a second thought.

Michael sighed in relief, although a bit annoyed he ended up getting distracted so easily.

"Haaah…"

Frank saw the realm collapse through the portal behind him, until pure darkness was left behind.

"E-Everything collapsed, the entire Realm is gone… Wow…"

"That's what happens when a Realm collapses, especially one created like that… Now that it's gone, Father must know we left, or either, that we died…"

Frank sighed in relief, as he sat over his bed, Ruby and Onyx were there, looking at him with surprise once he appeared again.

"Ah, you guys… Sorry for being gone for some time, I was… in an awful trial."

As Frank sighed in relief, he noticed the portal wasn't closing.

"Huh?"

He looked at it again, at the darkness, and how it seemed never-ending.

"W-Why is the portal not closing?"

"It seems to lead to nothing… It's just a portal."

Frank felt a bit terrified of it though, it might suddenly spawn a monster or something, like those Korean Webtoons about Gates and Hunters.

But nothing came from it, no monster, no presence, absolutely nothing.

"D-Don't tell me…"

Suddenly, Frank's aura transformed into an angel, appearing above him and inspecting the portal.

"The Realm we left behind might be gone, but its foundations are intact… This is… a World Seed."

"World Seed?"

"Yes… It means you could… but that's impossible, it should have been destroyed… Unless… Ah, I see! It is because of your Trait, and you being an Overseer… or a Half-Overseer."

"What? Can you explain things a bit better- Ah, right! I'm happy you're here, White. I should've started with that. This is Earth!"

Frank realized they were talking about completely unrelated things, so he decided to be nice and show her around his room.

"A-Ah… yes… we can discuss that later I suppose, it doesn't seem to pose any threat."

Michael looked at the portal one last time before glancing at the window, flying there to take a closer look at the entire city.

"Oh… so this is a human city… It has been eons since I visited Earth! It sure has changed… Is this your current level of civilization? Quite more advanced than I imagined. What continent or country is this?"

"This is Japan, an Island Country of sorts, it's very big for an island though," Frank explained. "It's in Northern Asia… But it's separate from the Asian… or well, Eurasian Continent."

Although Europe and Asia were regarded as separate continents, they were actually the same landmass, a single continent known as Eurasia.

Frank assumed that for such an ancient being like Michael, maybe those terms would be more familiar.

"I-I see… I think I understand, so there's the Asian people, in here, those with sharp eyes, right? They were very interesting back then," Michael smiled.

"Uh yeah… Don't call them sharp eyes though…" Frank sighed.

"A-Ah, was that rude? I am not accustomed to the manners of humans anymore…" Michale sighed.

"I mean, I can teach you, Japan is a country that values respect a lot but… I suppose you won't be really speaking with too many people," Frank said.

"Hmm, that's right…" Michael said. "Oh… this place is really wonderful. I… have not seen such a place in eons. The night is beautiful, the city is big and illuminated. Humans have progressed so much… I cannot believe I've missed so much of this…"

"Hah… Well, you haven't even seen everything yet," Frank said with a giggle. "I have a question though. What happened to your siblings… they went to sleep, right? But why are you still awake?"

"I was stronger than my siblings, born as father's oldest daughter, I possess a greater fragment of his brilliance. I could hold on into my energies for much longer… my siblings went to sleep, but I don't feel the necessity," she said. "And don't worry, they will wake up one by one eventually, from the oldest to the youngest."
