Epic Of Caterpillar

-----

The Supreme Goddess of Fate and Destiny glanced at the billions of threads of fate connected to all beings on Genesis, her face showing clear awe and shock.

She had made sure to trigger a series of events that would certainly strike down Kireina. Especially the Archdemon Avatar, whose strength was more than comparable to a Great God.

And with the help of the World's Will, the Avatar of the Archdemon Abaddon was sent to Kireina's Divine Realm as a Heavenly Calamity.

Yet… it wasn't capable of even putting a good fight!

The Supreme Goddess had power over all Fate and Destiny, but the Gods were able to partially oppose her through the overaccumulation of Fate Stat. However, even Great Gods Fate Stats were not so high, so her power over their destinies was always above 60% at the very minimum.

However, Kireina had completely devoured her destiny and her Epic Skill, which were all connected to her family, allies, and even all the citizens she had enlightened and blessed.

And even more, she had devoured the Blessing of the System Master, the one keeping her from developing even further!

The Supreme Goddess of Fate and Destiny was capable of seeing all fates and destinies within Genesis, but Kireina and all those related with her were an exception! She was completely incapable of seeing them, even with her amazing Supreme Divinity!

This was why she relied on the World's Will's ability to see through the eyes and senses of the Divine Trials and Heavenly Calamities she sent against Kireina every time she raised one Rank.

And the World's Will had shown to her, that Kireina had completely devoured the Avatar, and even worse, it seemed that she had become some sort of Archdemon as well!

"What kind of insane turn of events is this?!"

The Supreme Goddess roared in anger, for the first time in thousands of years, her Subordinate Gods watched their Supreme Goddess rage in frustration.

The Supreme Goddess that was always so calm, the one that always held such power over everything like her… the one that even other Supreme Gods were wary of due to her great power! She was raging like a young and spoiled little girl!

For the first time since Ragnarök ended that she had finally felt what was not being able to control the future of others, to receive unexpected outcomes.

She knew that she wasn't able to manipulate Kireina's future anymore, nor that of any of her related ones, but she still held the power to do s from anyone unrelated to her that would one day meet her! And she was also able to create events to throw at her even without being directly connected to her.

Nonetheless, even such things ended simply powering her up instead of affecting her negatively.

She realized that she has been… simply making her stronger this whole time.

If she didn't throw so many challenges at her from the beginning, Kireina would have never grown so fast!

She was already, after all, stepping into the Realm of Great Goddess very soon, and that without even being a year old… Such ridiculous growth was tormenting all of the Gods that desired her demise, she was going to keep growing stronger with no end… they needed to quickly take care of her before she would grow so strong it would be absolutely impossible to handle her!

And even worse, the beast that she triggered its awakening and then cooperated with the World's Will to send as a Heavenly Calamity only opened new paths to grow stronger for Kireina.

Now, she had an innate connection with the Gates of Hell, and she has become an Archdemon that was not hindered by her Origin being locked into the Realm of the Gates of Hell.

"But how could it be possible for this to even occur?!"

The Supreme Goddess was completely baffled, Kireina was completely shattering any rules set, anything that was always thought as a fact was being fragmented into pieces right in front of the Supreme Goddess' eyes!

"First of all, it should be… completely impossible for a non-demon from the Gates of Hell to suddenly become an Archdemon, this is impossible! Those Demons are special creatures, their whole existences are different, they work differently, ad the powers they use are the complete opposite of us as well! Yet… Kireina has become both one of them, and also one of us, entities from Genesis all at the same time!? Even the original Archdemons and Lucifer cannot step out of their Realm because of this difference in existence makeup, this is why they create Avatars that harbor part of their power…! But this… It can't be! But… it is the truth! I can't… This is…"

The Supreme Goddess was so shocked by the recent events that her mind was being slowly broken by Kireina's ridiculousness.

It was indeed the truth, Kireina had become an entity that was now both connected to Genesis and the Gates of Hell, the invasive Multi-dimensional Realm that connected to countless other Worlds!

The makeup of the demons of the Gate of Hell was completely different than anything in Genesis, the sources of energy they used were different, the powers they used were different, even their cells, blood, and the elements that made up their entire souls were fairly different too! They were entities from a completely different Plane after all.

Laws and powers from other worlds barely affected the Gates of Hell because it was its own self-contained Existence Plane that drifted across the Fabric of Reality, only the most powerful of entities were even capable of exerting some of their original power in this world.

Yet Kireina managed to find the easiest way to do this, by eating an Archdemon Avatar who contained the residual soul, Origin Connection, and the flesh and blood of this Archdemon modified to survive on Genesis, she assimilated this power and made it into her own, even changing her race into an Archdemon!

This was ridiculous!

Not even the World's Will on all of its power and splendor was able to predict that she would be able to actually assimilate a completely otherworldly entity and make it into her own self.

But the two of them were forgetting something… something they were not really adding into the calculation.

That Kireina was the Child of a Primordial Deity, Chaos.

The moment the Supreme Goddess remembered this, she calmed herself…

"How foolish of me to think that Kireina could be handled through normal methods… She is the reincarnated Children of Chaos. The idiot of the System Master wanted to use her innate Trait of Defiance to ruin our world and then devour his own mother as my fate weakens, but now that she had bitten back the hand that feeds her, he has become frustrated… I suppose this is why he's trying to recruit Gods to defeat her… Certainly, allying with him would be the best thing to do… But I fear that he might betray us halfway through, he's a scheming jester after all…" sighed the Supreme Goddess.

However, although the possibility of allying with the System Master seemed tentative to her, she was too wary of the man, his personality, and chaotic desires were too strong and intense. He was never someone she could trust, nor was he ever close with any Supreme God except Lucifer, who was the Supreme God of Space and Creation through his Divine Avatar.

The sole thought of thinking that such an otherworldly being had become a Supreme God made her a bit frustrated as well… But this was how it has been for thousands of years now. The World's Will ha decided to entrap his Avatar to Genesis because he was also partially at fault for the Ragnarök.

Suddenly, as the Supreme Goddess assessed these things, she received a small message from the World's Will, the entity who she was an ally of since her raise into a Supreme Goddess, the World's Will held such power over Fate and Destiny because of her strong alliance with this Supreme Goddess after all.

"Hm? She's… already reaching Rank 9?! But how? So fast…! If this keeps up, wouldn't she reach Great Goddess Realm soon? This…"

The World's Will suddenly sent another message.

"Oh? Oh! So you're planning to use THAT against her… But wouldn't it be…? No, due to what happened to it, it had surely changed… it is certainly more powerful… But I fear that the same thing that happened to Abaddon's Avatar might happen to it and that she might simply end up growing stronger…"

The World's Will replied once more.

"Hm? You're receiving the support of that Supreme too? Who would had thought… Very well then, it is worth a try… If what you're going to send her has such a trump card behind its sleeve… Perhaps even Kireina might end up surprised!" laughed the Supreme Goddess, expectant of the future and what the World's Will had planned for Kireina's upcoming Heavenly Calamity!

…Meanwhile, within the depths of empty darkness, a place within the confines of the Astral Road, the space filled with Nebulas, Stars, and other types of miniaturized cosmic figures, there was such a space, an empty abyss.

This space existed before the World was to fragment, it was the depths of the world's core, a completely dark place where a mass of darkness roamed, formed after eons of overaccumulation of corrupted Mana, it was called Miasma.

This overaccumulation of corrupted Mana, Miasma, expanded through the world's core, and it was one of the major concerns of the World's Will before the world was breaking apart due to the Ragnarök.

After thousands of years of over-accumulation of corrupted energies that the Cultivators of the era constantly discarded from their bodies to refine their bodies and souls, such residual, and "nasty" energies they took away to purify themselves and reach higher levels of quality of body and soul ended being absorbed back by the planet's core, the Origin Core, which was connected to the World's Will.

The Origin Core, however, discarded these energies as well by the will of the World's Will, and such energies over accumulated within a large and empty space within the planet's core, where these energies were compressed and corrupted with each other through the forces of gravity, slowly condensing into a liquid-like state, and becoming the deadly substance known as Miasma.

Although there were some Gods or beings that could thrive on miasma due to the corrupted nature of their souls and bodies, the majority of the Gods could not.

Miasma was the bane of the Gods, and with that, as the world broke apart, the Miasma expanded through the Astral Road like a vicious cloud of dreadful black ooze.

Freed from its natural cage, the world itself, this Miasma was suppressed by the Supremes, who threw it into the depths of the Astral Road, becoming a completely black space that expanded all around the bottom of all Realms floating above.

It was then named the Abyss.

As the Miasma continued to expand and absorb more residual energies, it grew bigger and even more alive, until it suddenly turned into a Living Realm of its own, where unique creatures began to emerge, such as the Abyssal Horrors, the Eldritch Monsters, and more, who expanded across the world.

It wasn't of any help that the demons of the Gates of Hell feed on this Miasma and even feed it even more corrupted Demonic Energy, but because it was so far away from anything important, and because even the Supreme Gods were afraid of touching this thing, they let it be.

But within the Abyss many beings had died, it was a living and enormous graveyard.

When the Ragnarök happened, large holes opened in the world and the Miasma was shown to the world, many Gods used this as a way to easily kill one another, and even Great Gods perished here, consumed by the Abyss and its Miasma Beasts.

And one of such Great Gods thrown into this Miasma who had not really died was suddenly being called…
