Epic of Caterpillar

Chapter 813 - A Proud Mother

Although no one in their entire lives would believe that such a being could be chained and restrained, it was indeed being chained, by beings who even transcended universes, Overseers.

To not end up destroying the universe by killing it and making it into materials, they had decided to chain it and slowly extract all of its Primordial Essence, refining it into their materials and energy, slowly draining its life away.

Although this entity was alive, it did not resemble anything like a living being, and no one could ever believe that it indeed had a child.

A child that "she" had just met for the second time since it went lost through the vast cosmos.

"She" was given a pronoun by her daughter, as her daughter thought it was more convenient to call her "mother".

Chaos could not be any happy than now…

Her daughter had come to bless her with her visit once more and had even managed to reach a fine level of power, enough for her to finally break through the restrictions made by the System Master and regain her original memories.

Chaos had given up on her life long ago.

She was going to die, and there was nothing she could do, nor anyone.

The One and Azathoth were not strong enough to break her chains and help her, and although they had tried to help her, she stopped them, telling them that the universe was theirs to take care of and that they should not provoke the Overseers by trying to break her chains.

Left hopeless, she only wished for her child\'s wellbeing, until she once more saw it after eons, with a different physical body, appearance, memories, and powers… but it was still her child, the one she loved so dearly. The most precious thing in her entire existence.

However, her first visit was brief, and she did not recognize her own mother… which made Chaos a bit saddened, but she knew that it was for the best to not remember her memories at that time.

She gave her child her Blessing and began to send her former servants to fuse with her children\'s soul and strengthen it.

Although she was restrained and chained, she did everything she could to help and assist her daughter to grow stronger quickly.

And through that time, she began to think that it would be for the best if she were to give her powers to her daughter before she was to die, so the Overseers wouldn\'t be able to extract all of her essences and ruin their plans.

She waited patiently, preparing herself for that day…

And as she saw her daughter go through many hardsh.i.p.s, some that almost broke her mother\'s heart, she patiently awaited her return.

Until finally… she came back.

And she was indeed now able to take on her original memories.

After helping her regain her original memories, Chaos got to know her daughter better, and chatted with her, telling her about her new duty and the future that awaited her, as she was going to give her powers to Kireina.

But unlike anything she thought, her daughter did not want that.

No matter how much Chaos tried to convince her own daughter of the truth, it was impossible.

Kireina did not give up.

She was dead-set in helping her and rescuing her from such a thing, to break the chains that not even The One and Azathoth could.

Chaos could not believe that her daughter was so stubborn, to the point that even she felt overwhelmed!

She, a Primordial Deity was overwhelmed!

What kind of willpower had she?

Something that could even break the chains of destiny…

Something that could even defy probabilities!

Kireina was someone that defied common sense, and through her entire life, this had always been her strongest asset!

Her mother began to think what her daughter was truly had, simply desiring something so much, to the point of going above all of the insanity.

"I see now… What she has is not simply her emotions, although I treasure them just as much… But there is indeed another explanation to this fervent will, and her powers to defy probabilities… She has formed her own Origin Core already, right? Then it means… Indeed, she had created her own Trait," thought Chaos.

Traits.

In simple terms, Traits were a power beyond Skills, Magic, and Spells.

It was a power inherent to an entity\'s Origin Core.

Most living beings in the Universe, however, did not even know what it was.

And only Azathoth, The One, and Chaos had a Trait.

Not even Supreme Gods, not even Lucifer, not even the System Master!

And Kireina formed one for herself using the residual power inherent of her as the daughter of Chaos!

"Her Trait name is… Defiance?" Chaos thought, as she began to inspect the information gathered from her connection with Kireina, which showed itself as a system window.

[Origin Core (Goddess Rank) Trait: [Defiance]

Defiance, the unique Trait possessed by Kireina, which gives her the almighty power of defying rules and laws, and change probabilities around her, even the most impossible of acts gain a probability of occurring when she gets involved with it.

Things that do not seem to be possible, become possible no matter what, however, this does not mean that she can do them without falling.

Although a percentage of occurring emerges, that this percentage can happen is completely dependent on the user\'s strength and not related with the Trait itself.

…

Defiance was the amazing Trait of Kireina, which gave her the power to defy probabilities no matter what, and it even broke the rules or requirements of what she could manipulate, simply anything went, even begins so high above her such as Overseers were not safe from her Defiance!

However, this did not mean that she was able to win no matter what, as Defiance only opened the path, but to walk through it depended completely on Kireina alone, and the Trait did not affect helping her in this regard.

"This is it! Something that not even I or The One and Azathoth have… Traits are unique to their own users after all! To think that my daughter does indeed have such an amazing power! Even things that are impossible by all means, even things that are decided by the Overseers themselves… can be defied with her Trait! She is… the Rule Breaker…" said Chaos.

Chaos realized that there was indeed a chance!

A chance for her to be saved by her daughter… to change her destiny!

Kireina\'s words were not baseless, they had the power of a Trait within them!

Something formed by herself after undergoing many trials, after defying destiny many times!

Defiance!

Opposition against anything!

Resistance!

Opposition!

Confrontation!

Noncompliance!

Disobedience!

Insubordination!

Dissent!

Recalcitrance!

Subversion!

Subversiveness!

Rebelliousness!

Ruinousness!

Bravado!

Daring!

Boldness!

Temerity!

Audacity!

Insolence!

All of this, and more!

This was Kireina, the embodiment of everything that defied anything, the one that opened a path to anything she d.e.s.i.r.ed!

The one that defied laws, logic, the very fabric of existence!

The one that could bring endless change, chaos, insanity!

Truly, this was the fitting Trait for the literal daughter of Chaos itself!

"With this… no matter what… as long as she keeps growing stronger, as long as she keeps being cautious and scheming, and as long as she has strong and reliable friends and family… My daughter can reach anything! She can do anything! Hahahaha! IN YOUR FACE, OVERSEERS!" laughed Chaos, she seemed to have gone insane due to her fervent love and admiration of her daughter!

Chaos celebrated, her daughter, the one she loved more than anything in existence, was the one that could truly defy everything!

"And the small power I gave her… may be the catalyst for her greatness… Fufu, thanks, System Master. Without you, I would have never been able to meet with my daughter again. However, you are still her enemy… I hope you are prepared for the little… munch she might give to you…" said Chaos maliciously.

Much like her daughter, Chaos was also devilish!

Scheming!

Cunning!

Monstrous!

And all of that was used for the benefit of her daughter!

How terrifying!

The entire Universe could not help but tremble in fear by the Primordial Deity\'s schemes!

"Everything… for her!" she said.

Her sole purpose of living, her sole purpose of existing and to keep fighting her destiny was her very daughter, the one she was doing everything for!

Although it was only a small seed, it was enough… it was clearly enough!

Now Kireina… was not going to be controlled nor restrained by anyone!

Not even the System Master would expect this outcome!

…Within the depths of space, crossing through the endless cosmos, two figures calmly glanced at an alien planet.

It was a parallel Earth, whom the System Master had grown very interested in.

Well, not on the planet itself, but on what was inside.

By scheming, he managed to convince the God within this Earth to concede his power into it, and to open the possibility for his plans to unfold.

"Truly, the God of Earth is such a fool…" laughed the System Master, a humanoid figure made entirely out of white light.

"I wonder if it is possible to even call it a \'God\'. After all, it is an amalgamation of many wills and personalities stuck together, made by the acc.u.mulation of unused Mana within this magicless world and the fervent belief of divine or admired figures within the society of humans…" said the humanoid figure made of endless stars, a Divine Entity best known as the Supreme God of Space and Creation, and also one of Lucifer\'s many Avatars.

"Indeed. But that also made it very easy to control. Although many did not want our "help" many of the others agreed with it, as they didn\'t want the world to come to an end, as it would also mean their end…" said the System Master.

The God of the Parallel Earth where Kireina originally belonged was made thousands of years since humans first evolved and began to think.

Earth was a magicless world, however, there was still residual mana within the souls of all living beings.

By concentrating this mana into divine figures of belief, humans, through many generations, slowly gave birth to their own gods.

However, they were not separated but merged into a single, aberrant entity made of many different Gods, a colony of beings with their different minds but still being recognized as a single entity.

They were formed by many religions around the world, and even in modern times, of pop culture heroes and other beings, even from videogames, all merged into them, any figure, existing or not that was of admiration, would become this creature.

At some point, the mass of Mana that it concentrated within underwent a qualitative change, converting into Divine Energy, and finally becoming a True God.

However, because the god itself had many disputes with itself due to the many different minds it had, it never concluded helping humanity, and what it did was very little, almost unnoticeable.

The System Master used Earth\'s Souls to defy the destiny of Genesis, his main target being his own parent, the World\'s Will.

However, he had come to make new plans with this planet, as he wanted to harvest… something within it.

"You have become bolder, it seems that your resolve to devour your own parent has become strong…" said Lucifer.

"Indeed… I will soon do it. And Kireina and the other souls are doing a splendid job! Haha! I cannot wait to see- Ungh?! NNNNGH…! NNGHAAAAA! NNNNGGYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAHHHHH…!"

The System Master suddenly felt an enormous pain over its entire existence, as he screamed in agonizing and despairing torture!

"W-What?!" asked Lucifer, startled by what was happening!

The System Master kept screaming until he fell unconscious…

Lucifer glanced at the System Master with concern, as he kept an eye on him until he was to finally wake up from his slumber…

After several hours, he woke up… tired and dizzy.

"What happened to you now?!" asked Lucifer.

"She… No! She broke my… seal?! Impossible! This is… impossible!" cried the System Master, he was falling into despair!

"What?! Who? …You mean?" asked Lucifer, quickly guessing what the System Master meant!

"Yeah! No other than her! The Child of Chaos! I really thought that it was impossible at this point! She had supposedly fragmented into pieces already! How is it possible for it to draw power from the thing she lost?! She should simply be a Chaotic Soul, not… whatever she had become to be capable of doing this! This even defies my own power! It should not even be possible with everything she had! This only means that… there was someone that intervened… And the only ones capable of that are…!" muttered the System Master.

"…The Primordial Deities?" asked Lucifer, as he squinted his eyes.
