Ding!
[You have evolved into [Primordial Chaos Phantasmal Nightmare Butterfly]!]
[You received the [Divine Protection of Chaos, Primordial Deity of Chaos]
Huh? What the heck? I got mom’s divine protection again! Wait, does this means she found me here? Maybe I could talk to her somehow and-
“Uwaah! She’s even bigger now!” Said Ariant.
“She’s kind of scary…” Eriant said.
“Kireina, are you alright?” Asked Luminous.
“Ugh… Yeah. Am I too big?” I wondered. “Well, I’ll stay like this for now, it is better than a small form. This thick armor will protect me well~”
“You’ve evolved into an even bigger and tankier butterfly now… I never thought you could look so metallic.” Said Fiere.
Now that I see myself I do look more like a mech butterfly than anything else. Well, the more defense, the better protected I am.
More importantly, I should try contacting mom using Fartalk! Maybe if I use her connection with her divine protection, I can do something now and not just be a sitting duck!
“Mom, are you there?”
Using Fartalk it is like telepathy, so nobody could listen to me talking to nothing.
“Mother, are you there?”
Nothing yet…
But why did I get her Divine Protection out of the blue? I know I lost it since I died and all… Maybe I just regained it after evolving? If that’s really the case, I could regain more stuff if I increase my Divinity, maybe…
Though it is sad I can’t talk to-
“Kireina?!”
However, my words were a bit too fast, mother did answer.
“Mom!”
“Kireina?! It is you?! Kireina! Oh… You’re alive! You’re alive!!!”
My mother suddenly began freaking out. I guess she sensed the moment I died and probably got pretty depressed… But now she heard me and well, she’s kind of freaking out.
“Yeah this is not an illusion, mother. I am THE Kireina.”
“How…? We all sensed your death! You… even your Origin…”
“I am alive! It is a long story… but I kind of got revived in another Dimension, I think.”
“A-Another Dimension?! That’s… Oh no… Oh no…”
“Yep, it is pretty bad.”
“But how?! You know how everyone back in Genesis is so worried? I could only take a little glimpse at them before feeling too exhausted. There’s a massive event happening there- not only in Genesis, the Universe and even beyond that… But I can’t see any longer.”
“I… well, I was Summoned by a Summoner, my soul was gone but my consciousness was transferred to the Root. Do you know something about it?”
“The Root? You… you were sent there? Kireina the Root is… the origin of all things. The branching realities of all. It was originated from the implosion of the Primordial Origin World, the first World to have ever existed.”
“Wait, what?”
“It is… complicated. But to sum it up for you to understand well, The Root is the origin of all things. And it was born when the Primordial Origin World exploded. You see, back then there was nothing, and then, a first world. It encompassed all of existence within it. All the things you’ve ever seen were there…”
“Eh? So that’s… how it is?”
“Not completely, but it is what I’ve heard from The One’s knowledge. There might be many information bits missing. Nonetheless, some sort of catastrophe happened to this… origin of all things, which made it fragment apart and with each fragment of itself, it branched into endless realities which tried to copy the original world but not so much. This might be a reason why there are several concepts that repeat themselves across Dimensions.”
“Oooh…. Wow, well, that was kind of awesome mom, I never thought you could teach me that out of the blue. So anyways the Root is from this?”
“Yes, it is. That you were able to not be assimilated… how?”
“Defiance? The Root said it was Defiance.”
“Your Trait saved you even without a Soul and an Origin… Incredible.”
“Yep, pretty insane right?”
“This is… I’ll try to locate you with The One! If we can pinpoint your exact Dimension we can probably help you somehow! We could also ask help to your siblings.”
“Siblings?”
“Yes, Chaos, Ervas, and Veronica.”
“Ervas and Veronica! Right! I guess they could help, but how? And whose the one with your same name?”
“Ervas and Veronica have ascended into Cosmic Gods that are near Galaxy Realm! They can help you more as they are freer than us, and are awakening more of their Primordial powers.”
“Eeeh?! They got that OP out of the blue?!”
“They went through a lot and even destroyed Samsara and took over his entire Reincarnation System, with it, they’re gaining even more power. They’re protecting the Universe for us, for the most part.”
“I see… W-What else? Whose Chaos? Whose this guy… or girl?”
“It is a Fragment of your own Primordial Soul.”
“The what of the what?!”
“You’ll know him later. He’s also very strong, having the power of a Galaxy Realm Dragon Vampire. He’s very solitary and hasn’t really been into helping anybody once he settled down but he’s not a bad person either. I think we could ask his aid. After all, the Universal Core entrusted him a Universal Seed.”
“Holy shit mom you’re doing so much info dump…”
“I’m sorry but I have to tell you this! You’re way too outdated!”
“Sorry, sorry, okay. Okay. Let’s sort things out. You ask their help and I’ll keep finding my way here. There’s an item here named Cosmic Staircase that it is said to be able to teleport me across the stars or even dimensions. But I might have no idea where to even go, so if I can get their help at guiding me back home somehow, we could have me back.”
“I see… Well, Frank is going there too!”
“Frank? Whose-“
BOOOOOMMMM!!!
Suddenly, my call with mother was interrupted by a sudden explosion. A figure covered with blue cosmic energy fell from the skies, pierced through the mountain, and then reached us in an instant!
TRUUUMM…!
Its presence alone exuded a powerful, all-encompassing cosmic aura.
“W-Who the heck are you?!” Luminous asked in shock.
“He’s… a human?” Sol wondered.
“Is he another of the Genie’s pawns?” Fiere asked.
The man shrouded in cosmic energy looked at us, his brown hair quickly turned completely white, as one of his blue eyes shone bright red, black armor resembling bones grew over his body, as his chest started to shine.
“Give me the Cosmic Stone.” He spoke with a domineering tone. “Or I’ll kill you.”
