Chapter 903 - [Ascendance Of The G.o.ddess Of Sins And Virtues] 24/?: Conversations Between Powerful Beings

-----

Although Kireina was brought back to reality, the conversation between Chaos and the Tree of the Universe continued for a little time.

"You're putting too much faith into something that could ultimately lead to our demise… Don't you understand the dangers of her very existence? You have once said that you would defy even the Overseers… Is this your way of doing it? By giving your daughter all the responsibility?" asked the Tree of the Universe.

Chaos remained silent for a moment, her bravado seemingly disappeared as she knew very well what she was doing to her daughter Kireina.

"I didn't want this," she said.

"What?" asked the Tree of the Universe.

"I created her because I simply wanted to love something. I had seen many times through the vastness of the world what being a parent and taking care of your young was. It was something beautiful I wanted to experience… The Overseers came for different motives. My first thought was to secure her survival, and I sent her through a wormhole… What happened afterward was not of my intervention… She simply came back to me and told she was going to beat the Overseers and same me… and that… she loved me…" sighed Chaos.

The Tree of the Universe sighed.

"You're telling me that from all the possibilities within the vastness of the universe, she somehow came back to you without you doing anything over it?" asked the tree of the universe.

"Indeed. She came back by herself. She developed her abilities and… found a family to love. I had long given up on any salvation. But she simply offered herself to help me after I told her the truth. I kid you not, I tried to convince her many times to not try to do this but… she continued to insist until I couldn't go against her n.o.ble and beautiful wishes. I simply… decided to trust my daughter," said Chaos.

"Chaos… You're really hopeless… Your decision will get us all killed…" sighed the Tree of the Universe.

"You can think that… or you can think otherwise," said Chaos.

"What?" asked the Tree of the Universe.

"Trust my daughter, Tree," said Chaos, her voice resounding with a resolve that the Tree of the Universe had never sensed in Chaos before.

"Hm… I have to admit it, there was something within her that made her rather charismatic. And to say the truth, this is the first time I have ever see you so filled with resolve and purpose. Before all of this, you barely had a personality and were simply an embodiment of Chaos. But now… you have evolved to the point of being able to hold conversations," laughed the Tree of the Universe.

"So you choose to mock my resolve?" asked Chaos.

"…No. I will give some faith to her. But… I won't hold much trust. I guess the least I could do is to somehow hope for her achievements to be enough… There's nothing much that can be done at this point…" sighed the Tree of the Universe.

"Thanks, mother." Said Chaos.

"…Mother?" asked the Tree of the Universe.

"My daughter said that you were technically her grandmother. This makes you my mother, isn't it?" asked Chaos.

"…As beings that transcend simple mortals and hold not many feelings, I had never considered myself any of that. Is there any point in holding people by t.i.tles that families make? What is the point of that?" sighed the Tree of the Universe.

"Well, don't you hold dear your trees?" asked Chaos.

"…Technically, I feel they're valuable to connect myself with the universe. But I suppose I wasn't particularly angered with your daughter over her trying to fuse with one, I simply wanted her to stop her because of her insolence, alongside what she was trying to do and what was to come… But you stopped me, and here we are," said the Tree of the Universe.

"Huh, you have gotten more honest as well, and also talkative. You were always silent…" said Chaos.

"…Is that so? I suppose something on me has changed after eons. But don't hold your hopes up, Chaos. I am not going to become your mother over such stupidity," sighed the Tree of the Universe.

"At least I tried, very well then, I shall go to rest now…" said Chaos, as she disappeared from the area.

"Mother… Grandmother… me?"

"…"

"No… I should stop thinking such trivial things…" sighed the Tree of the Universe.

Meanwhile, within the infinity of the universe, in a vast spatial Primordial Deity Realm, a ma.s.s of brilliant light, the complete opposite of Chaos, rested…

It was The One, the brilliance of creation, the infinite, order, and law. The opposite of Chaos, as both came to be at the same time.

The One had gotten to know already about Chaos and the Tree of the Universe conversation, and also about how Kireina, which he gave the t.i.tle of Demiurge had already learned her origins.

It was because she was the child of Chaos that he had given her such a t.i.tle, to begin with, it was a way for him to show that he wanted to be on friendly terms with Chaos… but there was also another underhanded motive.

By giving her his blessing, Kireina could be partially watched over by him, so he can monitor her growth and see what she can do…

After discovering that she held a Trait that could change everything as he knew it, he couldn't help but smile, he had indeed done good by obeying his instincts and helping Kireina, in the end, she was truly "the chosen one" for the lack of a better term.

"So she has learned many things… and it seems that she is learning even more now. Kireina is truly an interesting ent.i.ty. Although… Maybe Chaos might find it weird that I have developed an interest in her daughter, so I better not say it out loud…" he sighed.

After that, The One began to glance at the large world of Genesis, an immense ma.s.s of clouds and bright gases coated the many Realms, which floated in s.p.a.ce while slowly rotating around the sun.

This was a strange world, it was once a planet that was destroyed, and through the powers of the World's Will and the Supreme G.o.ds, I was made into this s.p.a.ce, the pieces of the vast planet were made into small floating islands named Realms, where entire worlds and ecosystems had surged after the G.o.ds of the world took over them and used their divinities to generate new atmospheres.

The world seemed like a nebula where many, enormous pieces of land the size of continents or bigger floated freely, each one containing a self-contained atmosphere maintained by the G.o.ds reigning within them.

It was a wondrous world, a very rare one, and there were often not many worlds with similar conditions… Although to The One's mind, there were still some strange "flat worlds" that existed around, such as Abyss, a self-contained pseudo-dimensions originally made by many G.o.ds who all perished, only leaving two to reign over it, amongst many others.

He glanced a Genesis with interest and a wondrous expression, this world was truly filled with wonders, some that you couldn't easily find elsewhere… And well, this world was also governed by what many mortals would believe to be "his child".

Amongst the many Angels, Archangels, and other ent.i.ties that The One had created from his residual existence, there was one created from him and Chaos once in the past, a child that wandered the cosmos and neglected them, which looked for something… a place to attach itself and belong to.

Eons ago, this child reached an enormous world, several times bigger than Earth which was overflowing with life and an intelligent race similar to humans from Earth, it could be said that this world was a Parallel Earth, a very diverged one.

The Humans of this Parallel Earth fought with everything they had against this ent.i.ty, but in the end, their technology which even was able to gather the power of the universe to a small extent proved to be useless against the ent.i.ty, and they were defeated.

A large group of the surviving humans escaped the planet, choosing to delve into the cosmos than to obey and become the puppets of this ent.i.ty, meanwhile, others without resources or money to be invited into these s.h.i.+ps were left in the planet, as they underwent mutations through the Mana and Divine Energy spread by the ent.i.ty over the planet, forced to survive against the monsters that began to emerge after normal animals also underwent mutations.

After many years of survival, the world somewhat stabilized, and many societies were reconstructed, humans learned how to use the powers of the world which originated from this ent.i.ty to grow stronger and comprehend the Great Dao, attaining immortal souls through the constant refinement of the three primordial energies, and becoming G.o.ds.

"To think that you brought the demise of the planet you were so happy to have s.n.a.t.c.hed… And now, you're barely holding everything together. Still trying to grasp what is already lost. Genesis is a world filled with sorrow…" sighed The One.

"Your sister has finally shown up, and through this world, it seems to be constantly growing… What will you do? How will you respond to this? Well… you're already trying to get rid of her, aren't you? I do wonder… when the time for both of you to finally fight… what will you do? Which sister will reign supreme? And which one… will lose and die? Or… could there be hope for you to one day reconsider things? …Perhaps not. It has been some time since then…"

As The One wondered many things, he decided to manage other things… until he suddenly received a call from someone…

"Oh… Samsara…" he said.

"The One, it has been some time…" said the ent.i.ty, who had named itself Samsara.

"What do you call me for?" asked The One.

"With due respect, great Primordial One… Why are you a.s.sisting the Child of Chaos? She brought the Apocalypse and demise of millions of worlds and uncountable lives… What is your purpose behind all of this?" asked Samsara.

"You're rather bold. Speaking with me like that… Whatever I do is not your problem," said The One.

"But…!" muttered Samsara.

"Don't you have thousands of Transmigration G.o.ds and Worlds to take care of? Why don't you go do your work?" asked The One.

"…But I want to know," said Samsara.

"If I don't want to tell you, I won't. Do you have a problem with that? Are you bold enough to inquiry on G.o.d's Wrath?" asked The One.

"…Very well then, if that's what you want…" sighed Samsara, as his presence went away.

"What an annoying youngster…" sighed The One. However, he found some truth behind Samsara's doubt.

Samsara was a great ent.i.ty just below the Primordial Deities, he was a being above G.o.ds who managed the Transmigration Cycles of billions of worlds, his G.o.ds, named Transmigration G.o.ds, were his creations, similar to Archangels for The One.

He used the Transmigration G.o.ds to manage all these worlds, as he gained power constantly through the management of an uncountable amount of souls, which he let fly freely across the vast of the Universe.

Due to his important position as someone who held power over Souls like not many other ent.i.ties below the Primordial Deities such as Null, the Void Dragon of Death, The One gave him a few privileges, such as letting him talk to him if there was any need or trouble he was having and depending in which trouble, The One might even offer a little bit of help through his Archangels.

However… his concern over The One, who was seen as a righteous existence helping the literal Child of Chaos was natural, after all, Kireina before reincarnating into Genesis fragmented many of her body into the pure miasma, which traveled through the entire universe and brought the demise and the apocalypse to many worlds.

It was natural for him to wonder why someone "good" would help such an inherently "evil" being…

But The One wasn't really a good nor an evil ent.i.ty.

He was merely selfish and did whatever he pleased.
