Jupiter had finished the meeting and sat down over his throne while sighing in relief, he resembled the faint appearance of a human made of bright nebulas glistening with yellow and orange colors, as his daughter, who looked more huma-like, Europa, walked at his side.
"Father, are you okay?" she asked.
"Yes I am fine… Have Kireina- I mean, Baltis, left?" asked Jupiter.
"Indeed, she left just now. As you said, I won't call her for personal meetings…" said Europa.
"Good. To think that Baltis would become one of her clones… Well, my lord seemed pleased by that at the end. And as his servants, we must please his likings, and let whatever he wants to live—alive," sighed Jupiter.
"But if he doesn't want us to kill her, does our lord wants us to suicide so she can grow stronger by devouring us?" asked Europa..
"No, my lord's thoughts are not as simple, he is a heavy thinker, a schemer, and a jester at heart. But what he most desires is entertainment while also planning for the future. We are not supposed to die in this battle, but those from other factions that annoy my lord, such as the other three Great Gods, if possible. We shall survive at the end and watch as Kireina uses such newfound power to change the world," said Jupiter.
"Shouldn't we inform her that we are at her side right away then?" asked Europa.
"It won't do, the other Gods will realize. We cannot drop the act yet… Or we will end up being the ones ganged against later. You understand, Europa?" asked Jupiter.
"Yes, father… But what exactly does our lord desires?" asked Europa. She was confused about what did the supreme god of star oceans even wanted with all of this. What were his purposes? What was he looking for? What were his reasons behind all of this?
"It is quite simple. Our biggest goal, and the reason he does everything… Is freedom!" said Jupiter.
"Eh? Freedom? But isn't he a supreme god? What other freedom would he lack than being at the top of everything?" asked Europa.
"I guess I haven't told you enough about the vastness of the outer universe and the countless of power levels above supreme god, have I not?" asked Jupiter.
"You mentioned… that the world's will was something above Supreme God Realm… I think…" said Europa.
"I did! And there are many Realms… even above that, Europa. Do you truly believe that the world we are in… is the only one there is? That there is but vacuum outside and nothing else? The universe is immensely vast, endlessly vast… There are beings stronger than the world's will roaming by the thousands… Our master is but an ant compared to the vast outer universe… We, as the servants, must fulfill his desire of achieving freedom. To this goal, Kireina is essential." Said Jupiter.
Europa felt as if her eyes were being opened by her father, the words he spoke were filled with wisdom, every single sentence seemed to matter a lot. The outer universe was vast and mysterious, monsters even stronger than the world's will roamed by the thousands… this mere sentence seemed terrifying by on itself. What was the point of her entire meaningless and small existence now? It felt as if she was lesser than even bacteria…
However, by her father's words she also realized how important she was. The supreme god they served was perhaps an ant compared to them, but an ant was still higher than bacteria… And well, the supreme god also held immense wisdom and power, if he could go outside and reach the areas with rich resources to hasten his cultivation, he could reach even higher realms than the world's will itself!
Right?
Then… Kireina… What was with her?
Why her? From all beings… Why the most monstrous, demonic, degenerate, annoying, repulsive of them all was the "chosen one" aside from even the benevolent, kind-hearted, and brave Isaac?
To the point that even Isaac was actually a meal for Kireina prepared by the supreme god… a fitting challenge to just make her stronger. Even stronger than she was, he needed to make her as stronger as possible!
"Why Kireina…?" she asked.
"I suppose you've grown strong enough and old enough to know the truth! Although she arrived here just a bit less than a year ago… Kireina had been orbiting this spatial area for a millennium," said Jupiter.
"O-Orbiting? W-What?!" asked Europa in confusion.
"Kireina is the Primordial Deity of Chaos' offspring. My daughter. Kireina… is the child of the entity above all in this universe, one of the three pillars," said Jupiter.
"EH?! She? The caterpillar?!" asked Europa in surprise.
"Yes, the former caterpillar was indeed such a being," said Jupiter.
Jupiter then went to explain to his daughter what the three pillars were, as she learned about their immense power, she couldn't help but think that she at this point was but a mere speck of dust…
"What am I but a speck of dust…?! Ugh…" she sighed.
"My daughter, stop thinking that and concentrate in the present and what we can achieve now. Kireina is required for the simple reason of being such an entity. Her power gives her the ability to somehow defy the laws of everything, and she can be used to achieve victory against the world's will, something that not even all the supreme gods combined could do," said Jupiter.
"She's… so important… Is this why the System Master brought her here? She was going to be the one to defy Fate so he could also run freer and defeat the world's will?" asked Europa.
"Exactly. But the System Master failed at it because he tried to suppress her true nature and her true identity, and ended making of her an enemy. Now, he seeks to kill her somehow, which is hopeless, the other supreme gods are also aware of this foolish act," said Jupiter.
"So she bit the hand that feed her..." said Europa.
"Indeed. She quite literally bite the System Master's soul and devoured his blessing as well as everything else. It was said that she already defied Fate by then, as she gained complete control over her own fate that not even the supreme goddess can fight against. And she also devoured her own epic and all of the epics connected to her… Additionally, more of her fate-defying powers showed up when she gained the ability to manipulate the strings of fate to an extent, a lesser extent," said Jupiter.
"S-She can do that…?! So… strong… She has already changed the course of the entire world! The system master even gave her the most fitting power to grow stronger, the ability to devour anything and make it her power…" sighed Europa.
"Yes, and she evolved this power into something that makes her even stronger, it gave her the power to devour space and time itself, to devour fate, to devour the laws… everything! She had managed to fuse it with her very soul, and now it doesn't even belong to the system anymore…she had made of everything her own power… such a vicious and powerful being… It is quite fitting that my lord shall use her to gain freedom!" said Jupiter.
"Indeed. It is amazing to think how much our lord had thought about it all, father…" sighed Europa.
"A-Ah, well yes, sometimes he seems like he's playing around, right? I understand that feeling…" sighed Jupiter, someone who had been at the side of the supreme god of star oceans for eons.
"Yes… Haha…" sighed Europa.
"So, as I said, my lord wants to attain freedom and Kireina is essential! All these other gods will be her nourishment. The real war will begin when she raises to Supreme Goddess… That's when our lord and the other Supreme Gods will be slowly convinced by her and join her… and then… they will destroy fate together and bring back freedom to all!" said Jupiter.
"But if all the supreme gods escape, then who will take care of the world?" asked Europa.
"…Well, that's not of our incumbency, we'll travel inside of our lord's divine realm, so the rest doesn't matter!" said Jupiter.
"So… when that happens… Genesis will end…" sighed Europa.
"…Most likely. But for now, the future is unclear, let us do what we can in the moment," said Jupiter.
"Sigh… Yes, father," said Europa, thinking about the grim future ahead…
What would await her and her father? Her family? Her pantheon?
What kind of world would bring Kireina's ascendance to supreme goddess? Would something change? Or… would nothing change?
It was a mystery, a mystery that might one day be unraveled by the annals of time.
The world continues to change without stopping nor giving a break for those that cannot catch up to it. Many lone gods across realms continue to join Kireina's pantheon as well, but most of the gods that already belonged to pantheons remain in them. Some even beginning to spread lies about her, but many had made many good comments, there were many people that confirmed that her work was legit and that she did sell everything she said she was selling.
Additionally, her discounts for her pantheon members was amazing, and many gods were fascinated by it to a large extent. It was a rather amazing deal, getting discounts the more they worked harder, so they could get even more rewards and grow even stronger…
Due to this, a vicious cycle was generated, as Kireina's pantheon of gods had grown addicted to working hard to get rewarded so they can grow stronger, without even having any concept over resting or smelling the roses… they continued to work hard to reach higher ranks and realms… as they were now given the chance to do so at a realistic pace…
Within the confines of an enclosed space somewhere else, a four-headed lion rested over a bed made of bright nebulas.
He was Leoganz, the space-attribute great god of the realm of Vida, a mysterious figure of unknown origins. His powers were enough to make most gods not dare to provoke him, even less to find any trouble with him.
However, he was now speaking with someone, his master, the supreme god of space and creation.
"My lord, what must I do? If you are interested in her, shouldn't I not damage her?" asked Leoganz.
"Hm. Well, I will give you free will. Do as you please…" said Lucifer.
"But…" muttered Leoganz.
"Sigh… It depends on you. If you don't want to, play along with the other idiots, and then escape at the last moment. And if you can grasp victory by killing her while she's weak, kill her if you want to. My interest is strong but not enough to disturb your free will," said Lucifer.
"I see… Well, my lord, I shall do as I please then," said Leoganz.
"Whatever your choice is, good luck…" said Lucifer.
Leoganz was left alone inside this space once more, as the four-headed lion considered what he could do. If he were to absorb Kireina's powers, he would certainly grow stronger.
But… was there all to it? He had always been a calm and aloof god to most things in the world and in life itself. He had a very nihilistic viewpoint and seemed uninterested in everything, as he thought of all as pointless to an extent.
Maybe… perhaps… there was a point in killing her?
Excitement? Doing the right thing? Exhilaration? Victory?
Something?
Not even he had considered things out correctly, he was mostly on the blue in here, and would probably remain in the blue for some time…
He wished he could stay here forever and sleep forever… he was also quite the lazy god, just like a cat.
"Well… Maybe fighting might blaze my battle spirit… Or not… Time will tell. Though, if possible, I want to keep sleeping in here… Hm… Well, whatever it is, it is what it is…" he yawned, closing the eyes of his heads, and sleeping for the meantime.
