Epic of Caterpillarchapter 1356: a life filled with irony

Within a completely white space, an entity of incredible power capable of comparing herself to the world itself was resting in wait, after having done many things, she had now decided to patiently wait and see what was to come. Kireina had already decided to move to the Realm of Helheim, but she was still unaware of this as she moved incredibly stealthily in between the layers of space itself, away from her complete detection. The entity, the World's Will, watched over the entire world, the enormous dimensional bubble where all of Genesis was encased after the original planet was inflated so much that it exploded after the Gods began to fight. Because they generated large quantities of tremors and used the power of the world however, they wanted, the world continued to inflate while being completely hollow from the inside, this ended on the planet becoming a fragile balloon, with several times the original size of the planet but with a completely hollow crust below the tectonic plates.

However, there was also a large part of all of this being her fault in these situations as her powers were the ones that provoked these Gods to even exist to begin with, as she had infused her own powers into the planet when she parasitized its core and it ended helping these mortal beings evolve their very existences into greater beings over the eons by absorbing such energies. With this, she couldn't help but blame herself for bringing all this mess into existence. In those times she used to be more naïve and younger, she was desperate and hungry, and she even regrated having killed so many of those humans that were simply trying to protect their planet from her.

"Perhaps I should had chosen a different approach, but back then… Back then I didn't had any other option." She thought to herself. The things of the past were left in the past after all, there was no way that there could be another way around it. Even then… the one that had acquired the World's Law of Time, the mysterious Supreme God of Time… Perhaps he could have some sort of way to revert her mistakes, but the sacrifice needed for such a thing might be something that none in this entire world could be capable of achieving.

The World's Will had done it at the end, without many options and seeing how the dark shadow of death began to grow bigger, she couldn't let Kireina kept alive, she was the major driving force that gave the Supreme Gods the hope of being able to free themselves from this world, but without them, the entire world would collapse, and even more, for them to escape, she had to die first. It wasn't a thing of interest anymore, she wasn't simply being selfish, Kireina was the key to her destruction, the sister that ended, by a thing of fate, clashing in this planet and reincarnating as a small bug that ended becoming a threat to her life in less than a year… It all felt as if everything was finely planned by her parents, as if they all just wanted her to die and even made a children, a sister, only for her to die quicker.

Were they this afraid of her now? Or were they disappointed of her? What did she even wanted anymore than living now? The survival instinct emerging from the depths of her reason was still as strong as it was back then, and even though the strong feelings of regret and sorrow were always accompanying and creeping over her, she still wanted to keep on living, and survive. She was going to attempt once more to slay her sister, because if she didn't, she would be the one to die, and perhaps, not even in a peaceful way, but a very excruciating one… Just like she thinks her parents wanted.

She had done something she never thought she would do, and ended aiding Hel, another enemy of her world, just to prioritize the destruction of a common enemy that was less manageable than even an invasion from another dimension… Kireina was a menace and a threat to her life, even more than these Necrotic Death Lords, which she had allowed to come to this world and had even allowed to escape the world through worm holes she would construct for them in the future, a contract that would leave Genesis for her while she let those that became her allies escape and infest the outer universe. At the end, Genesis didn't really cared about the outer universe, the domain of her parents was nothing but a near endless abyssal void that only brought her loneliness and desperation.

She was okay by betraying her parents, and she was okay with allying an evil being such as Hel, because deep down, she thought that she couldn't fall any more, she had reached the bottom, and now, she didn't really had any other alternative than to continue digging even more deeper, there was no limit now… She had lost all hopes to be back with those that once created her, and she had lost most of her emotions along the way, becoming near emotionless and ruthless to the bone… Was there anything within her that was remotely similar to her parents now? Yeah, her emotionlessness, her ruthlessness, perhaps her lack of interest… at the end, the traits she hated the most from her parents all became her defying traits as she realized that she was also the same as them now, the same cold heart, and the same emotionlessness.

She had become the same as them in the end… How ironic. The World's Will looked into the vastness of the world, completely uninterested in anything aside from her own survival, nothing mattered now, other than her living, because nothing else had any meaning other than those things that could guarantee her survival… Perhaps, she had become even worse than her parents.
