[Chaos-Born Primordial Cosmic Manifestation: Umbra]

[Rank]: [SS+++]

The child of a Primordial that embodies the element of Chaos itself, Khaos, that inhabits a Universe within the vast Cosmos. Made out of their mother's flesh, blood, soul, and even mind, they possess incredibly intellect, magical power, the ability to conjure the strongest Chaos Magic imaginable, and to bring destruction to anything they step into.

"Umbra" as their name, their mother, Khaos, held her hopes for the future within this powerful and mysterious child, and the future that awaited her would not only change the entire Universe around her, but all of Creation, and beyond.

The rebirth of Umbra will set in motion her true destiny after the Cosmic Hegemonies attempted to control the Cosmic Destiny of every single living being around them to stop their existence from propagating and growing properly. Now, the chance has come, to finally become who you always were.

This Evolution has unlimited evolution options, the capacity to evolve constantly, and the power to absorb Chaos and Cosmic Energy completely, among other powers, such as absorbing and assimilating different powers and shapes.

This evolution was made for me… Without hesitation, I choose it.

Ding!

[You've selected the [Chaos-Born Primordial Cosmic Manifestation: Umbra] [Rank]: [SS+++] Evolution Option!]

[The Evolution has started; you're now breaking out of your cocoon!]

"My cocoon- Guh…?!"

Crack… crack!

My entire body suddenly started to gain countless cracks all over, shattering into pieces that started falling apart. For a moment, it felt slightly horrifying, how everything that made "me" was tearing down.

Crack… crack…

It wasn't just a visual effect. My entire body and being, my mind… Everything was falling into pieces. What is this? Am I dying?

Crack… Crack!

"M-Mama?!"

"Master?!"

My familiars naturally panicked, but I calmed them down, telling them to leave me be. This was… the correct thing to evolve. It is to shed away my former self and be reborn as who I've always have been.

Crack… CRACK!

"Calm down, it's fine…" I said with a smile.

CRASH!

Suddenly, a black tentacle emerged from my chest, shattering my flesh and everything else, and tearing everything apart.

My entire being was being destroyed, as something deep within my own self was finally resurface, something that I had long lost, but that I regained once more.

My true self…

Crack… CRASH!

As my face broke apart into pieces, I saw my own self being reborn before me, as my consciousness faded away completely.

"Ah…!"

Only for it to resurface once more.

"Huh?"

I looked everywhere, finding myself within an endless landscape of darkness.

It was all black, it wasn't like those dreams where I would be within space or something.

As I walked across this darkness, I found something, larger, larger than anything I had seen before.

Within the depths of this eternal darkness, there was a large sphere of this concentration of darkness, manifesting itself on a physical form.

It was covered in chains made of shadows, and it couldn't move… yet I knew it was alive.

I touched this sphere and felt its life force.

Slowly, the entity opened its single, red eye, faintly glancing back at me…

"Who… Are you?" She asked, with the innocent voice of a little baby girl.

"Huh? I would ask the same… if it wasn't because I know who you are, Umbra." I smiled.

"Eh? You know… The name mama gave me?" She asked innocently.

"Yeah, I do." I sighed. "I… Well, it could be said I am… you."

"M-Me? But you're so different… Do I get to have such a tiny body?" She wondered.

"Maybe." I giggled a bit; she was honestly really cute. "I was once given a name, and I took it as my own, Kireina it is."

"Kireina…" Umbra sighed. "It's weird… Nobody has ever been able to come here…"

"How long… have you been alone?" I wondered.

"A lot… And… there are so many times I've cried… I've already lost the count." She sighed, her single big red eye seemed to be crying again. "Sniff…"

"Don't cry…" I sighed, caressing her. "I've come here to free you."

"Free… me?" She wondered.

"But for that, I need you to… well, you need to eat me." I sighed.

"Eat you?!" Umbra reacted in shock. "B-But that's bad…"

"Hehe, I know it might sound weird, but I won't die or something. We'll simply become one. But for this, I need you to be the one that eats me. Because I am you that developed without this part of my own self. To regain it, I cannot just force you, you have to take the step first."

"Will you… free me if I do that?" She sighed. "I-I am scared… I don't know what to do… I want to see mama again… It has been so long… Mama…"

"I'll bring you to mama, our mom." I smiled. "Don't worry dear. Can you… trust me?"

Umbra glanced at me, slightly hesitating. She was… the embodiment of my previous self before becoming Kireina. She was the "me" that lived for billions of years as Khaos baby, who slowly developed an innocent childish mind, which was lost, and sealed away.

After being sealed away, the new personality, me, Kireina, was born. A fusion between the experiences in Genesis alongside fragments of memories and personalities of a certain man from Earth, the reincarnated Hero that has been sealed away within Helheim.

The meaning behind being torn down to pieces and giving way to my true self was, to leave behind this being I was, and to let my true self emerge, her.

"No…" Umbra said, suddenly rejecting my idea.

"E-Eh? What do you mean no, Umbra? But if we don't… if you don't eat me then…" I muttered.

"I don't wat to eat you…" She pouted. "You're my first friend here! A-And… even if you're my own self from the future, it doesn't mean you're not necessary! I… there must be another way!"

"You're… so stubborn." I sighed, giving her a slight smile. "You remind me of myself. I guess we are really two faces of the same coin, haha… Then what do you suggest?"

"Hmmm… Let's blow up this space!" She said with a smile.
