Chapter 982 - The Universe Expands


-----


Chaos browsed through the universe once more, until she found something else…


Into the corner of the universe, a gigantic self-contained world within an enormous spatial area rested… It was often named "Reincarnation Vacuum Point", it was a certain spot in the universe that drained souls from other parallel worlds contained in spatial areas that Samsara and his children were not able to completely contain.


Hence, it had a constant influx of reincarnated people with memories of their previous lives… But there was something even more interesting about them….


"Unique Skills?"


Chaos detected that this place held something strange, there was apparently no System, so why there were things such as Unique Skills? The nature of this world was strange, it also seemed as if people were able to learn and develop Abilities that were more than just knowledge, and there was also magic in the form of Mana Cores, which were also present in some other worlds, such as the world of the Half-Overseer previously mentioned by her.


"Unique Skills made without the intervention of a G.o.dly being are when the strong desires of a being materialize into a power. In worlds such as Genesis, this often happens, as there are beings such as Heroes or even G.o.ds who have unique skills for themselves, the unique skills vary in usefulness from person to person, however, in this place, they seem to have gone out of control…"


She continued to look more profoundly into this world which she had ignored, for the most part, finding some things truly amusing, such as that it seemed to have been formed by many realms fusing together, something opposite than Genesis… alongside a giant tree.


"Hm? A child of the Tree of the Universe? So this world is…! Hm, interesting. It is one of those… Oh… And… I see…"


This world was near the middle of the Reincarnation Vacuum Point, which was a place where reincarnated souls would flow more. As it was the name, it was a Vacuum Point, a somewhat fractured in the universe itself that had certain properties that made it, so souls felt attracted to it.


Although there were countless worlds across the universe, these points in the universe were places where a lot of souls that ended escaping from worlds nearby landed. Although such worlds could sometimes have reincarnation circles from either native G.o.ds or the Samsara Transmigration G.o.ds, they were still not immune to having a few of their souls sucked into this place.


However… Unique Skills were generated by people"s desires and uniqueness. They were generated by their hard work, effort, and acc.u.mulated primordial essence. However, sometimes, when a soul was introduced into a world with large amounts of magic, they would gain power based on their strong desires, especially if they had strong desires in their previous lives! The more desire they have, the stronger and more detailed this power can be, but the more restricted it will be… and even then, based on imagination alone, things can end up being dangerous to the user itself, and the unique skills can end up killing them.


"However, there is something that happens here. This world is so peculiar because it is also immensely big and contains a large amount of essence spread all around countless divine resources, and powers that rival the G.o.ds as well… there is a strong heaven"s will that controls this world, although it is not the heavens but the tree itself which is the will… When souls from non-magic worlds or that have yet to be awakened into the usage of magic are sent here directly, their souls and new bodies have to adapt to the conditions of this half-corporeal and the half-spiritual world, creating a large amount of energy as compensation…which results in the creation of unique skills based in their desires," thought Chaos.


If this was true, this world could easily be found by ent.i.ties from the outside and abused as a unique skill-making machine… and perhaps, there was already an ent.i.ty proactively sending souls there for such a purpose. The World itself has also been marked by the unique skill users through the eons and seemed to have undergone many eras that lasted millions of years, without even counting the other billions of years before the realms merged together.


Chaos couldn"t help but find this world fascinating… But it was also extremely dangerous.


And…


Amongst the people that existed in this world, amongst those that were reincarnated, some seemed strange, she detected their connection to her. Well, only one of them had it, but as another grew closer to her, the connection was also made.


This connection was not normal, and it seemed to be directly connected to Chaos as if it had been born from her.


"Ah… This is… I see…"


She quickly realized that a certain Ice Giant girl within this world was… deeply connected to Kireina and her.


"Some of the pieces of chaos didn"t simply become miasma that hit the world. Some were small enough to be a.s.similated into transmigration cycles by accident, and then forcefully refined into souls… Chaos Souls. Somehow, the transmigration G.o.ds had the genius idea of simply making these souls go through endless reincarnations until they were completely refined into a soul… well, that doesn"t work with pieces of chaos," sighed Chaos.


She began to wonder what there the full potential of these "fragments of chaos" could be, which were quite theoretically pieces of Kireina herself who fragmented away from her as she traveled through the wormhole and then was sent through s.p.a.ce for an indefinite amount of time.


Kireina"s very essence as a primordial chaos deity was fragmented, these pieces of essence contained some life within it but were not truly her, her true core, her Origin Core, remained alive and that was her true being, these fragments could be said to be something like her limbs which tore apart and somehow remained alive.


Most of these landed into different areas of the universe, slowly expanding the Chaotic Apocalypse of the Miasma Waves, which impacted many worlds, many of them not having magic before and forcefully introducing it to the world.


None of these fragments had intelligence nor memories, and were mostly not of much concern to Chaos… however, when some of this developed intelligence, then they became of concern, especially if they began to grow stronger and more… and… she began to grow concerned, after all, wouldn"t they also be her children? And she didn"t want to repeat what she ended doing with her previous children… She wanted to be a good mother… She wanted a mother that Kireina could be proud of.


So she naturally would begin to grow concerned about these Chaos and Miasma Fragments that gained sentience and were wondering what they were and what was their purpose… the children of Chaos.


There was one of such children in this world…


Could this Ice Giant Girl be considered something like Kireina"s little sister?


Yes, it could be.


"Hahh… This is so complicated, now I am going to begin growing concerned about her… What can I do? Her world is so far away from here… I will slowly try to send my consciousness there… maybe, perhaps just a little bit… a little help… something to tell her that I am concerned about her and that… there is a mother here that she can one day come to visit…" sighed Chaos.


However, things didn"t end here…


Chaos began to slowly put her consciousness and a string of her chaotic power, sending it there through millions of light-years, while the rest of her main mind was doing other things.


She continued to browse through the vast cosmos, glancing at it and trying to find more of such lost children… amongst the many chaotic pieces, many of them ended becoming monsters without reason other than destruction, these didn"t recognize her nor any of the sorts, and seemingly were like soot at times… She needed to find those extremely rare ones, the ones that had inherited a part of consciousness or that had somehow developed intelligence. They were so rare it was a near-impossible odyssey to find one of them. She had already found one… but where could another be in-


"Ah!"


However, she found it rather quickly… It was another fragment.


"This one was also refined into a soul of chaotic properties… Did it land into another world, parallel earth… alongside another fragment too? So two in one, but this one is the different one, it seems to have had a consciousness since it was separated. It is indeed a child and not just a piece of lifeless chaos…"


Chaos sighed as she began to look at it, however, she was quickly angered!


"Ah! What is this?! Ugh… Just the same as the other too? Why… Why?! Both were experimented on? How… horrid…" she sighed. Chaos felt as if she wanted to completely consume that planet into nothingness…


What she had seen shocked her the same way it shocked her with the previous one. This child was born with chaos-related powers and experimented on until it died… horribly. It had no life at all, and it was used as a Guinea pig throughout its entire life. Could this even be considered a life to begin with?


She wasn"t able to intervene in time, as it was sent elsewhere… no, it was summoned by a force.


"The Outer G.o.ds? What do they want with my child!?" she roared.


She saw through the records of the universe as the ent.i.ties known as Outer G.o.ds, who directly serve Azathoth and live within the Outer Void intervened in the transmigration cycle there and grabbed this child"s soul, sending it all the way into another area of the universe through a summoning method made by… an Elder Lich?!


"That is… the Corner of the Universe? That place where Spatial Areas were fused into the universe and where Spatial Walls were permanently destroyed by an intergalactic and interplanetary war between powerful ent.i.ties several eons ago… Such a dangerous place in the universe… Why there from all places?!"


She quickly started to browse through it, until she finally found it…


"A Vampire Dragon Chimera? What kind of strange occurrence is this? …And it was made from these Vampire and Dragon Families that are part of the strongest Families of the Universe too… it will only mean one thing, the child… will be hunted down the moment it is born," she sighed.


However, she wasn"t going to let this happen… or at least… at the very least… she was going to do something for it, even if it was just a little thing!


"I have to help it… I cannot merely leave it there to its own destiny! I have to help it somehow… somehow using my abilities I can… I have… I still have enough energy… This is enough…"


She quickly began to extend a string to her child former world and then to the new world or area of the universe where he was… instead of a self-contained world inside a spatial area, which protected these worlds from the dangerous outside universe, the child was inhabiting a planet instead, floating in the middle of the true universe.


As she slowly started to expand her strings to these worlds, aiming to support her children and do something for them, she began to recall her previous children, the ones she was not able to take care of properly…


"Hahh… I guess Kelsus and Anir have come back in different forms and have been completely reborn… they are fighting against themselves to regain what belongs to them… And such reborn forms had already devoured a transmigration G.o.d and provoked the wrath of Samsara… I must do something… And… she as well… the one within Genesis… Kireina"s sister… I wish she could listen to me for once… But… I guess I don"t deserve such treatment, don"t I? I am… really such a useless mother… Kireina… Whenever you learn the truth… Please… don"t hate me…"
