Epic of Caterpillar-Chapter 2199 New Archdemons Of Wrath

I reached Satan's Inner Origin Core, the very root of his existence as I grasped it out and tore it apart from his Archdemon Soul, Satan gave one last scream of agony before his body and soul were completely eaten by my endlessly shapeshifting body, a mass of countless jaws, eyes, and tentacles.

"So this is your Inner Origin Core." I smiled, licking my lips.

The domain dissipated, as I moved towards Mammon rapidly. The Primordial Sin of Wrath inside the Core was already beginning to grow unrest, it wanted to break through and free itself. Small cracks were slowly appearing.

"Mammon!"

I quickly sliced the Core into two halves, giving one half to Mammon. His Demonic Soul surging out of his petite body in the form of a monstrous golden dragon, swallowing half of Satan's Inner Origin Core.

"Thank you, Kireina!"

He quickly digested and absorbed it, while I ate the other half, feeling an endless surge of new power. Satan had a lot of power and Infernal Essence hidden, even now. It seems that while being outside his own Domain, he was only able to show us below half of it.

What drove him to be so stupidly confident to step into another Demon's Domain? I can't believe how much he looked down on Mammon.

The feeling was simply all-encompassing, as if I was slowly melting away inside a sea of flames.

I felt both pain and pleasure as I absorbed his powers.

However, there was also something wrong.

Something was blocking me from using them completely.

"Gulp… Ugh?!"

However, the moment I digested half of his Core, I felt all my senses disappear for a second. No, it was more as if they were moved elsewhere. An Astral Domain, where my mind was sucked.

And I was there with Mammon, no less. It was a world of eternal darkness, covered with red flames. And in the middle of it all, there were two figures. Satan, on his complete and healed form, and then something gigantic behind him.

"This place… What is this?" I asked.

"This must be the Astral Domain that interconnects the wielders of the Primordial Sin of Wrath!" Mammon said. "It seems we're here for a trial."

"A trial? By whom?" I asked.

"By the previous owners, and the sin itself." Mammon spoke, looking up.

Satan squinted his eyes, just a few seconds I just ate him, but he was here all fine and dandy! I bet he hates me now, isn't it?

"Welcome." He said. He seemed surprisingly polite. "So it seems I died? I simply can't recall how it happened. I am merely a fragment of my original consciousness, you could say I am a "Record" that embodies who I was supposed to be, but it might appear I am not truly the Satan you knew. I do posses part of his older memories, personality, and also know how he came to existence."

"So you're like a record of what Satan was?" I asked. "Interesting… Wait, how you came to be? Now that I think about it, how were you Archdemons born? And is that thing… the Sin?"

"GRRRHHH…" The primordial sin resembled a gigantic chimeric beast, with at least six recognizable beast-like faces, a lion, a sheep, a dragon, a tiger, a wolf, and a goat. There were more heads of strange shapes and forms, and it had over ten different limbs. A chimeric aberration that looked fierce and unshackled, the embodiment of Wrath.

"Yes, this is the Primordial Sin of Wrath." Said Satan. "Across many Universes and Dimensions, there are different versions of the Seven Deadly Sins. However, this Wrath… It could be said to be the purest form of them all, and the first one to be born. He has grown weakened over the eons since his birth, I believe. But since he was taken by The One and then sealed inside of Hell, that he has been slowly regaining his powers."

"The Primordial Sin… So that's why it has the Primordial Title?" I asked. "You directly originate from the Origin World! And your only wielder so far was that guy? I can't believe the Archdemons have never changed since Hell was created!"

"They did change, but it was until our generation that managed to tame the sins that we reached this level of power." Mammon explained. "Nevertheless, we are rather special even across many Universes or even the other Dimensions. Although they might have their own Hells, our Hell seems to be the one containing the highest Purity and Quality due to the existence of the Seven Sealed Primordial Sins."

"So The One did that…" I said. "Aside from dethroning his son, Lucifer, right?"

"Yes… Lucifer was a rebel that harbored envy and hatred against all mortals and didn't like how his father granted them the privilege of freedom and the endless resources of the Universe." Said Mammon. "Among them, there were also many other Angels that betrayed The One. I was one of them, and Satan and the others were the same. Most of the first generation of Demons of Hell were all Angels that mutated into Demons after being defeated, becoming Fallen Angels, and then being engulfed by the Demonic Miasma emanated from Lucifer's corrupted heart."

"Wow we are going through so much exposition right now…" I muttered. "Well, Lucifer has changed a bit to the better now, right? Like, he's surely not the same as before. He's even nice with the Gods of Genesis."

"He has changed indeed…" Mammon sighed. "However, the Monstrous Archangel that bare his fangs against his father and creator still remains strong within him. I believe that his greatest change so far was Genesis itself, being stuck in that world for so long changed us all. And your existence later, changed us even more. Especially me and Lucifer. I wouldn't really doubt he has a strong attraction towards you."

"I-I can tell…" I sighed. "A-Anyways, enough exposition for now. You'll tell me more about being a former Archangel later, Mammon. Now, Satan, Wrath, what do we have to do here to be accepted?"

"Hmm, you are a strange case." Satan said. "You divided the sin into two, this is why you came together. Having two wielders at the same time was not something the sin was designed to…"
