Epic Of Caterpillar

So I was there with Shub-Niggurath herself… a chill woman, not so much going on for her. She just lives in the Outer Void, is a massive entity of incredible power. has a thousands young… sometimes rapes other outer gods and make wicked offspring's of them and stuff. Nothing too big or grand, she's a homie of the hood.

I am slowly making her my pet, in simple terms. I have been giving her my flesh and soul in intervals and now I convinced her in answering three questions before I feed her again. You see, this is how you usually conquer an animal's will. You convince them through such a way.

Animals' language is only violence and food, if you give them food, the majority will naturally stick with you so you can give them more food. Through food, you can teach them to obey you and be more friendly, its all-around food, and sometimes a bit of violence.

In cases such as gigantic monsters, hitting them a few times would usually make them submissive of you, enough for them to accept being your pet.

But I am not into animal abuse or something, so please, never do this to your pets at home, that's monstrous and they're innocent little creatures that are just trying to live the same way you do, there are other ways to make them obey you or act more obedient, no need to treat them like shit.

Actually, that doesn't apply here, of course, in here if you are not aggressive, they'll eat you. So you gotta be as aggressive as you can and beat them into the ground until they cannot move.

After that, they submit to you, and by showing them kindness right after that through food, they grow attached and happy with you. See? That's the manipulation I am talking about.

Shub-Niggurath, as wise as she makes herself up to be, seems very animalistic. She had been growing addicted to my flesh and soul and ask for it more frequently now. I already gave her two free samples.

Now, she had answered me a couple of questions but that's clearly not enough, I am craving more knowledge from this monstrous entity. She doesn't like to say much, however, there are certain things she won't reveal no matter what, but there are others that she even goes into details, so it means that there are things she wouldn't tell me but there are others she would gladly go into detail. This means that she's willing to talk a lot, and seems to have taken a liking on me.

I don't know if I should be happy or not, especially because she just revealed that the whole lot of the Outer Gods got a plot around me, and even more, Lucifer is included into the fray here… her very manifestation in the Limbo perhaps was all orchestrated to one day meet me here…

Nonetheless, she seems very animalistic, enough for me to try to tame her with a very simple trick of bait and switch, I will bait her with more meals, but she has to answer more for less, and like that, she constantly grows a dependence on me… without even realizing it.

I looked at the giant tree as a smile of cheeky nature emerged on my lips. She said she could answer three more questions before her meal time, and I couldn't help but feel in control. The very reason she said "yes" already says that she is unknowingly acting submissive to me. How easy it was.

I patted her for a bit, she was surprised I dared to touch her manifestation. I was also not even affected by the curses she was covered in, which could make even great gods go insane, except my family of course.

"Shub-Niggurath, here's your first question out of the three… What can I give to you to make you my ally against the other Outer Gods?" I asked.

"…An ally? Me? You're asking me to become your ally, Kireina? You're bold!" she said, while laughing.

"There's nothing you can offer me as of now that would amount to a compensation big enough to have a being such as myself as your loyal ally, Kireina… And I know you're trying to "tame" me, it won't work either. That I am speaking and humoring you is out of pure boredom." She said.

"Oh? You saw through me, huh… Well, it doesn't matter. So there's nothing I can do?" I asked.

"Well, not nothing. There might be something in the future that you will one day have that might interest me." She stated.

"Such as?" I asked.

"…In the possible future where you can free yourself from Genesis and you travel the Outer Universe, you will find the answer to this." she said.

"Very secretive! Alright then, fine, whatever." I sighed.

"Now feed me or I won't answer anymore questions…!" she said.

"Sure~ Here, my little puppy~!" I said teasingly, as I cut a bit of meat and soul, and threw them at her.

She caught them and ate them, but found it was too little.

"T-This is not what we bargained for!!!" she roared.

"But you had your fill for now. Answer more questions and I will give you ten times that." I said.

"Ten times that? You're lying…" she said.

"Me? Lying? Why would I lie to the glorious Shub-Niggurath herself? Do you think I like courting death, dear?" I asked.

"Hmm… You're a suspicious one, Kireina. But fine, sure, whatever." She sighed.

Ah, she's giving up easily, she really likes the flesh I got… Hehe.

"Now tell me how do I get to Lucifer from here, the easiest route." I said.

"The portal that the Lost One have can carry you to Greed Layer, from there, you can take several other portals that lead down, they're located within the Pandemonium of Mammon. Traveling across Hell is surprisingly easy if you're strong enough to survive it." she said.

"Hmm… I see! So that's how it is. What about this Dimension? Tell me the origins if possible." I said. I kind of knew about it already, but she could offer some details.
