Epic of Caterpillarchapter 1094: the system master's change of mind

The World's Will sensed the power of another Dao being born, this made it three already!

The Dao of Path Jewels, the Dao of Vampirism, and the Dao of Storms! All three of them were brand new Daos of this world, and she had sensed them be born within… Kireina's location!

She had yet to move from here or even do anything yet. The world's will was still negotiating and seeing if she could get Hel as an ally to defeat Kireina or something, although this seemed highly unlikely for now.

Nonetheless, she could always try and continue trying. Hel was prideful and so were the Necrotic Death Lords but becoming a temporal ally of the World's Will to defeat a common and deadly enemy such as Kireina didn't seemed to be that bad of an idea, especially because Kireina continued to grow stronger and now was already at her third created Dao! What more insanity would she create before even stepping out of her divine realm?

She had already shaken the world with her new draining power, which had suddenly become twice as fast and powerful too. But there were also three new Daos out of nowhere! What else could she make?

But she wasn't the only one… within the Realm of Helheim, the World's Will also felt Hel creating her own Dao through her Dao Monolith, she was also a Dao Child, and her Dao immediately turned into a perfectly comprehended and assimilated one right after its creation!

The World's Will continued to grow concerned about the world and what she could do. She was certainly powerful, but her power was limited to what she could do with it, and not much could be done if she was maintaining her own world with her power.

Nonetheless, she looked at the world and began to plan many things…

Meanwhile, her grandson, the System Master, had been in Genesis for a while now.

He had been surprised when Kireina became a Supreme Goddess way ahead of time, even more when Hel became one too.

The range of his strength was already within her?!

He couldn't help but feel in disbelief when he realized the entity he had brought here, which was so pathetically weak he couldn't properly take seriously now had reached the same level of power as him!

It felt almost poetic…

"So she had already become a Supreme Goddess?! How irritating! With all the time I put while recruiting these Great Gods to kill her, and now they would only serve as a small snack for her… The difference between the weakest Supreme Goddess and the strongest Great God is still massive! Even with all the Great Gods I could find, she would definitely win…"

The System Master felt at lose, he didn't exactly knew what to do next. He could probably confront her personally, a 1v1 fight was most likely to end with him winning, but if he could easily do a 1v1 fight, wouldn't he had done it before, when he could actually kill her?

She has not been a Supreme Goddess forever after all, just some days ago, she used to be weaker, way weaker! Her growth had been truly phenomenal, and the System Master could barely find a way to catch up to such a monster as Kireina. He had begun to think of things to do, but he couldn't directly fight her for a simple motive, and the same motive as all the other Supreme Gods, it was hard to move through Genesis without distorting everything, and well… he didn't wanted to kill her because it meant that Fate could not be broken!

And now, he wouldn't be able to even if he wanted, as two Supreme Gods were at her side, guarding her, this was Flora and Aura, of course! The Supreme Goddess of Life and Origin and the Supreme God of Star Ocean were formidable beings, he could not take them lightly or he would be the one getting killed.

Dismissing the great gods with him, the only thing he could come out with at the end was use his own powers to act as a trickster within her life and her actions and try to find a way to make her suffer so he can find this weak spot and ultimately kill her.

If he could kill her and absorb her powers instead, he would become a Supreme God of Chaos and he could break Fate himself! If he could break Fate himself, then he could free himself from this world and devour other worlds outside to reach the next stage on his evolution.

And this was what he had actually been planning this whole time!

To think that he was being played by Kireina so easily… he felt ashamed of himself, after all this time, he could only accomplish so little.

But no… he wasn't going to give up. He had been spreading his influence across other worlds already, the outside of Genesis! Through the help of his friend, Lucifer, he had been able to share his System with other worlds entirely, abusing the Apocalypse that Kireina's Miasma caused when she fell through the Stratums of the Universe and her miasma and chaos was fragmented away and spread like a deadly wave of darkness!

Her miasma caused the Era of the Apocalypse in a greater area of the Universe due to this, and many of the powerful figured of the Universe, such as Samsara, were preparing their own ways to let these worlds prosper, some of them in the most unlikely ways possible.

Since the apocalypse hit these worlds with Kireina's miasma that he had been working too, he wanted a piece of the pie, and wasn't going to give up until he was to get a good and tasty one!

Through the abuse of Kireina's miasma. He followed the trails left by her in various worlds, reached them, and "helped" these worlds by introducing a system to help the mortals' inhabitants there. He was such a benevolent man! He used his System to aid these mortal inhabitants fight the miasma calamities left, the monsters that emerged from them, and the Gates that might open when the miasma corrupted even space-time.

He helped these mortals grow stronger through different types of systems, although the one that proved to be the most useful was the most simplistic one with three major stats that increased by absorbing cores dropped by monsters born in the miasma or in the Gates formed by the corruption of space-time made by this chaotic essence. Although in truth, these people were actually feeding his system with this energy through the cores produced by the system itself, which compressed the monsters very energy and essence into consumable items.

This way, his systems became self-sustainable while he slowly reaped the benefits, which were a lot of divine energy which constantly flowed towards him!

But was that all? Of course not, this was just a little bonus while the real reward prepared itself, and that was the worlds themselves. He utilized the miasma and the chaos to transform and refine it into usable energy, which he then repurposed into infusing it into the worlds where his systems were. These worlds grew larger, and their origin world cores evolved and became rich and tasty.

It was all just him making these worlds richer and tastier, evolving into becoming ripen, so he could, once it was done, go to these worlds and… devour them!

There was a way for Supreme Gods to easily jump through Ranks, and that was by devouring rich World Origin Cores. Of course, such a thing was incredibly hard to attain in any place, the worlds with rich origin world cores were rare in the universe, and not all planets had them. There were countless planets in the universe but 99.9% of them didn't had any Origin Core!

It was only planets with rich life which had been growing for many years and nourished through the life and mana they produced that… could materialize their core and mana into a small crystal that would develop by absorbing the energy of their own planet inhabitants…

But through the System Master's method, he had done this manually and was doing it in masse. He had created his own farm of World's Cores, and he had already eaten two of them, skyrocketing his power level to almost the peak of a Supreme God…

If he could eat one or two more, he would surely raise into the Realm he had been desiring this whole time, and this entire thing about Genesis wouldn't be too much of an annoyance to him.

What he wanted the most was power after all, power to prove everyone that they were wrong, and to prove everyone that he could decide his own destiny.

He wanted true freedom from his responsibilities, he didn't wanted to do anything others told him to do, and he didn't wanted to be the pillar of the law of the system within Genesis, he couldn't care less!

He was made by his mother to be a free willed being, to fulfill what she could not.

He had made children to do his work and he had begun to work hard into being free, growing stronger was his goal, and he had already reached so far, he had even devoured two worlds already!

Of course, billions of lives died with both worlds, but he couldn't care less either. He had grown ambitious and ruthless. Those that were not strong enough to fight did not deserve to live.

The weak is devoured by the strong, this is something he always has in mind.

With such a ruthless outlook at life, he had been a being that has never cared about other than himself… and well, he had a friend, the only friend he had and an ally who also shared his intentions and the outlook at the future, alongside his goals.

Lucifer…

However, even Lucifer didn't went as far as helping him kill Kireina, he in fact had even grown interested in her, which annoyed the System Master as it directly put him against his own friend because he wanted to kill Kireina.

But now that he had made to reconsider things out, he perhaps had to make a cease fire with Kireina (although he never began anything other than that one attack when she created the Realm Core), and try to become her temporary ally so he and she could slay their common enemies.

He had already given up in slaying her as of now, even with his current power, the two Supreme Gods with her, and possibly a third in Lucifer who had grown interested in her made this difficult…

"To think that I would have to consider such a thing… Kireina has become someone I cannot underestimate anymore…" he sighed, deciding to attempt a reconciliation.
