Epic of Caterpillar

587 Fated Encounters: Nyzzet\'s Labyrinth Conquest 49/?: Chaos

Kireina found herself in her original body, that of a fairy, mother of many.

She walked across the darkness until she found a spark of white light.

Directing her way towards it, she found a large pond of whiteish water.

Kireina in her curiosity decided to enter… surprisingly, it was a small pond, as it only covered her feet.

However, the moment she walked over the water barefoot, she felt through her toes the ground… or the floor of this pond.

And a she kept walking, she felt it more.

It was soft and sticky… and even fleshy.

"What am I even walking over?" she thought, glancing down below the pond, finding a giant, crimson iris glaring at her.

"An eye? The eye of a Giant? No, a Titan?"

The large crimson eye kept glaring at her, as it blinked, Kireina flew atop it before being crushed by the eyelids.

Suddenly, the world began to tremble as she glanced at the crimson eye, which constantly blinked.

Another eye then appeared… and another, and another, and another.

She flew across the darkness and found large, building-sized eyes everywhere, each one was white with a crimson iris. They were eerie and curious of her, following her everywhere with their glares.

However, Kireina did not felt nervous, and she just went around the darkness, discovering more eyes as she flew across the darkness.

Until she reached the end of the darkness and entered a white space, where the darkness stayed behind her.

She glanced at the darkness again, as it had a form, a strange mass of shadows and crimson eyes.

"So it is a creature…?" she thought.

"Main body…" it muttered, the mass of eternal darkness and eyes moved towards Kireina, dragging its body across the whiteness.

"Oh, me? Could you be my eyes?" asked Kireina.

"Eyes… I am… Eyes… I am the Eyes of the Main body…" muttered the mass of shadows covered in crimson eyes.

Kireina instinctively knew that this might be the awakening of another of the \'Calamity Abyss Demon\' Body Parts… which was yet another strange and bizarre dream.

She wondered if such a thing was her doing or that something else, a different power acted in regards to these dreams.

Kireina felt as if she needed to embrace this mass of shadows and crimson eyes to finish her dream, but she decided to do something else first.

"Very well then, sit down there," said Kireina.

"Sit… down?" asked the mass of shadows and crimson eyes.

"Yes, sit down there, please," said Kireina.

The mass of shadows and crimson eyes felt strange… it was not supposed to go like this.

"Yes… Main body…" it said, shily staying on its place, and trying to \'sit\', but because it clearly didn\'t have a body capable of such thing, it only lowered its mass to resemble as if it were sitting and \'resting\'.

Kireina glanced at the gigantic creature with a smile as she asked it politely about what it was.

"So, you\'re just Eyes? Nothing else?" she asked.

"Yes, Main body… I am Eyes, the Eyes… I am the Eyes, the Eyes, and the Eyes, the more Eyes I am, the better I feel, because I am Eyes…" said the creature, rambling about simply eyes, the only thing it knew, it didn\'t have a strong sense of self, and wanted to just become one with Kireina.

"But that\'s it? Do you know from where you came from?" she asked.

"I… I am Eyes… Yes, I know. I know… Because I glanced at it, with my Eyes…" said the mass of shadows and crimson eyes.

Kireina felt a bit more intrigued… Since she had been capable of evolving and fusing her skills while sleeping through Dreams, she always had a weird dream that awakened a Body Part of her new set of Skills named \'Calamity Abyss Demon\'. And she also knew that each Body Part seemed to have a will of their own, differently than her Slime Clones, and that they had somehow just appeared.

She wondered if they were simply a manifestation of her powers, something born without her realizing… or a being foreign to this world that crossed through the boundaries of \'somewhere else\' to become one with her, attracted by her existence.

And through this simple answer, it seemed that they did came from \'somewhere else\'.

"Can you describe from where you came?" asked Kireina.

"Eyes… Saw it… Eyes… It was… Something," said the mass of shadows and eyes.

"Something? Something like what? Elaborate more and I might give you a reward" said Kireina while giving the monster a coquettish blink, which seemed to make the creature more nervous and flustered by her overwhelming charm.

"Elaborate… Hmmm… Eyes have a hard time explaining, we can only see… But it was dark. And it was also very cold… The vacuum of nothingness… Chaos…" muttered the large mass of shadows covered in crimson eyes. It used all of its might into mustering an explanation, it perhaps had the mind of a toddler.

"Chaos? You came from… Chaos?" asked Kireina.

"Chaos… Yes, that\'s where Eyes was born from… and then, Eyes was attracted to… Main Body" said the mass of shadows, slowly moving towards Kireina, it wanted the \'reward\', which was simply merging with her.

"Wait, stay there," said Kireina.

"Hmmm… Does Main Body… not want to be with Eyes?" asked the mass of shadows and crimson eyes with a saddened voice, Kireina felt a bit bad.

"No, it is not that, don\'t worry, I just want some time to think things through," said Kireina.

Kireina began to ponder and think.

The creatures that became her Calamity Abyss Demon Body Parts were all born from this strange space simply named \'Chaos\'.

But Kireina only knew about the Chaos Attribute Magic that she was able to wield… she didn\'t really know about anything else over it.

Though, by the vacuum part of Eyes explanation, she also realized that this \'Chaos\' might be in… space.

Space, the \'outside\' of any world, or it could also be said to be the true existence, while worlds are inside of it.

It composes the entire universe, and as Kireina thinks, \'Chaos\' or at least, the primordial place where this \'Chaos\' exists, might be somewhere within the confines of the universe.

But how could these beings travel so fast to Kireina if they were hypothetically so far away?

Kireina asked this to Eyes.

"Eyes traveled through the connection of the Main Body… Eyes were born in the Chaos, only to be with the Main Body… Eyes closed and slept, and appeared here. Main Body woke up Eyes when she stepped on Eyes," said the mass of shadows and crimson eyes.

"Ah, was that the time when I woke you up? Oops…" said Kireina.

"Main Body doesn\'t need to apologize, Eyes is happy to be finally together with Main Body, the one destined to inherit Chaos…" said the mass of shadows and crimson eyes.

"Wait, what? Me? Inherit Chaos?" Kireina asked.

"Chaos… our father… it seeks Main Body… for its awakening," said the Eyes.

"Wait… awakening? Do you know something about that?" asked Kireina.

"No… Eyes only know that… Eyes was born and then sent here with Main Body," said Eyes.

Kireina rubbed her chin and then sighed.

"We\'ll have to figure out by a different mean… Now that I finally can control my dreams better, I still cannot get enough answers… Though, maybe?" Kireina then approached the mass of shadows and crimson eyes but stopped it from merging with her.

She then began to channel her Divinity related with nightmares, the one acquired from Geggoron, alongside her Dream and Nightmare Transcendental Magic, which she channeled into her Divine Aura and then touched Eyes with it.

"Main Body finally wants to be with Eyes?" it asked.

"Not yet, wait a second… let me see if I can track your origin…" said Kireina, using her Dream Attribute Powers to \'track\' Eyes\' original place of birth.

Eyes stood there as Kireina did as she wanted until Kireina finally found something within the \'track\' left by Eyes, the route that is used to cross through the boundaries of space and dreams.

"Found it… Huh?"

Kireina acquired strange coordinates inside of her mind through the Schrodinger Law Skill, and then connected her Aura towards the \'route\' left by Eyes.

Then, her consciousness drifted across countless stars and the true outside universe.

Everything was incredibly sudden for Kireina, the moment she connected her consciousness, she was teleported elsewhere… or her consciousness was.

The surrounding scenery changed, and there was now an endless night sky filled with stars, colorful clouds, meteorites, and planets. This scenery felt similar to her Dream World… but it seemed that it was not a Dream World, this was simply reality, which Kireina had accessed through her powers and by using her consciousness to travel through the route left by Eyes in Dreams.

Kireina then felt the presence of something… something overwhelming whispering into her nonexistent ears.

Her consciousness drifted its visual senses, glaring at the origin of such an eerie whisper.

An endless void of darkness, red and purple colors spiraled in front of her sight, seeping deep within the confines of the universe, breaking through the spatial existence.

The void seemed like a never-ending black hole, but unlike such existence, it was alive. It was somehow, a living entity.

Its whole existence pulsated, whispering to Kireina words that she couldn\'t fathom… but through her abilities, she quickly split her mind into thousands, and began to use other skills in conjunction with them, to finally fathom and understand this strange, alien entity.

"My child… My child…" it muttered.

"Your… child?" answered Kireina through telepathy.

The entity heard her and stopped calling upon her.

"You\'re here… How could you come here? You never cease to amaze me… Oh, the Great Old Ones would be surprised…" it muttered.

"The Great Old Ones? And who… who are you?" asked Kireina.

"I am… where everything ends. And perhaps, where everything begins. I am your mother and your father, I am Chaos," said the entity, an endless void that crossed across the spatial layers of the universe…

"My mother and father…? No, those are on Earth," said Kireina.

"It could be said that you are indeed their child as well… you can leave it at whatever conjecture you desire, my beloved child," said Chaos.

"Why have you been sending these beings towards me? I mean, I appreciate the gesture, but I want to know why…" asked Kireina.

"It is merely a thing that you are capable of. I do not interfere in anything here, your own powers cause such things to occur. They\'re not gifts of mine but are created by your talent, my child" said Chaos.

"My own… capabilities? Can you explain more? Why are you even here? Are you somehow related to Genesis? Or are you from another World? Does Earth exist in this universe or in another? Do you know a way to travel there?" asked Kireina, she had many questions, it seemed that this entity was equal or perhaps even greater than Supreme Gods, and she gave it a go, as it seemed friendly.

"Genesis… Oh, the nurtured World of my sibling… No, I am not from there, but I belong to this universe. I am chained to this by the laws of ########... And no, Earth does not belong in here, but in another Parallel Plane" said Chaos, nonchalantly answering Kireina\'s questions without a cheer of a doubt, although Kireina couldn\'t comprehend a few words that it mustered.

"So I will have to travel even more than just the Universe to one day go back…" muttered Kireina.

"You want to go back? It is amusing. Very amusing. I wish you the best of luck, my child. Might Chaos protect you even through the trials of your new life… how many have been, I wonder? Now, go back, your time to come back to me has not come yet if you remain in here, your sense of self will dissipate and you will lose your connection with your main body" said Chaos, releasing a small spark of black lightning that covered Kireina\'s consciousness.

"Take this as a gift of mine," said Chaos for the last time.

"What is this…? Ah! Wait!"

Kireina\'s consciousness was then driven back to Genesis, inside of the Realm of Vida and inside Nyzzet\'s Dungeon.

Kireina suddenly woke up, it seems that Eyes had gotten bored of waiting and willingly merged with her.

Various system windows popped up in front of her sight… there was an expected Skill there, and then, one that she did not expect as much.

[The [Demon Overlord of Lust Sixteen Chaotic Eyes of Perception, Senses, Bewitchment, Malice, and Demise; Level 10], [Demon Eyes of Seduction; Level 10], [Dragon Eye of Storms; Level 10], [Beast Eyes of Piercing Light; Level 10], [Nightmarish Demon Scarlet Eye of Rage; Level 10], [Divine Crimson Eyes of Endless Abyssal Nightmares; Level 6], [Crystal Whale Jewelry Eyes of Magic Conjuration; Level 5], [Divine Dragon Eye of Decomposition: Level 1], and [Eyes Transformation; Divine Scarlet Inferno Basilisk\'s Demon Eyes of Hell] Skills have merged!]

[Kireina] Awakened the Unique Skill [Calamity Abyss Demon One Thousand Evil Eyes of Chaotic Malice and Demise: Level 1] [Eyes]!]

[Kireina] acquired the [Blessing of Chaos, The Chained Primordial Entity of Chaos]!]

"Chaos… Blessing?!"

Kireina\'s loud voice woke up most of her family, but as she glanced through the window, it was already morning, as the artificial sun of the dungeon slowly began to glow atop the artificial clouds.

Kireina could not help but think about how bizarre her adventures had become now, even more after meeting a Primordial Entity that called her… its child.

Just how many crazy things will she go through in her first year of life in Genesis?
