Epic of Caterpillar

Two Supreme Goddess eyes are locked with one another.

The Supreme Goddess of Life and Origin and the Supreme Goddess of Primordial Chaos and Eternal Demise.

One could easily say that… they were exact opposites of one another.

A peaceful supreme goddess forced to fight because her children were slain.

An unruly supreme goddess that fights to never lose her family.

Their concepts of how they see things are widely different, their points of view are as well different.

The Supreme Goddess of Life and Origin looked at Kireina as she smiled cockily at her.

"You think you got a chance now that you've become a Supreme Goddess? Even as one, you're still lower than me in every possible way. You cannot compare. This fight is pointless, if you resist your death will be even more painful." Said the Supreme Goddess of Life and Origin.

Kireina smiled bitterly as cold sweat came out of her neck.

She knew she was right.

But somehow, she felt like she had to fight.

It was coming from her.

Her origin core was overflowing with power, chaotic power!

Fight her!

Defeat her!

Consume her!

Her own instincts were overflowing with a beastly desire of devouring!

However, it felt like a tiny ant was trying to devour a young lion.

It could bite the lion and cause some minor pain, perhaps a slight annoyance that could last a day or two.

But aside from that? Nothing much. The lion was always going to win against a mere ant, no matter what… No matter what!

"Even as a Supreme… I don't stand a chance, huh?" wondered Kireina.

She felt like she should still give it a try…

"Your death is already decided. But I am not war-driven nor a barbarian like you. I will spare your family and all your loved ones. I will welcome them in my pantheon, and let them live." Said the Supreme Goddess of Life and Origin.

Kireina looked at her with new eyes.

What was this woman?

"I understand why you fight, Kireina. I respect your will to live and your desire to protect your loved ones. In that regard, we are similar, perhaps… But you must die. My human emotions are interfering with my desire to protect life. I must appease it and slay you." Said the Supreme Goddess of Life and Origin.

Kireina gritted her teeth.

What kind of stupid offer was this?!

What was the point of it if she was going to die?

But… if her family was going to truly be protected…

But even then!

How would she know she would keep her promise?

She couldn't trust her, nor she was going to let herself get killed either!

She needed to fulfill her promise with her mother, no matter what!

"I am sorry, but I have a mother I need to help." Said Kireina, waving her hand.

"Mother? …Very well, so be it." Said the Supreme Goddess of Life and Origin.

As Kireina readied herself to fight, the light within the Supreme Domain of the Supreme Goddess of Life and Origin began to dance around, a wondrous power that surpassed anything she had ever seen before.

Her Aura of Primordial Chaos and Eternal Demise paled in comparison…

It was like a small candle fire compared to a sun.

CRASH!

However!

Another wondrous aura emerged.

Kireina looked over at it.

A crack in space appeared!

Who was it?!

The crack opened widely, as the essence of stars and light appeared from within.

A wondrous aura that vibrated across the entire ASTRAL ROAD!

Its creator has decided to finally descend and walk out of his divine realm?!

Kireina's eyes shone brightly as she saw such a beautiful aura of starlight.

Jupiter smiled and sighed in relief, Leoganz opened his eyes wide as he saw Jupiter's master emerge!

"Now, now… It would really be a pain if you were to slay the woman I've fallen in love with."

The Supreme Goddess of Life and Origin looked at the wondrous figure in front of her…

Her eyes were shocked too.

"You? What are you doing here? This is not your business, Supreme God of Star Ocean!" she said, as her aura roared angrily across the entire place!

Kireina looked with a smile filled with disbelief, her heart stopped beating so fast now.

The aura of starlight encompassed her body as if greeting her.

The figure that emerged from the crack in space was an enormous… mass of stars, nebulas, asteroids, planetoids, and more.

It had no defined shape.

Yet… it felt as if she knew this bastard.

"Yo, Kireina. I came to pick you up. Leave things to me now." It said.

"You… really came?!" asked Kireina in disbelief.

"Of course. Why wouldn't I? I told you I was going to become your ally." Said the Supreme God of Star Ocean.

Incredible!

Kireina really had become the ally of such a powerful Supreme God?!

He really came!

RUMBLE!

A third Supreme Domain emerged, mixing with the two other Supreme Domains, the world shook desperately!

Supreme Gods were so incredibly powerful that the very fabric of Genesis trembled when more than two of them gathered in the same place.

They risked breaking space itself, which would cause tremendous chaotic damage everywhere.

But thankfully, Kireina's Supreme Domain was still not so big, the world… was barely withstanding this weight.

Much like the Supreme Goddess of Life and Origin's Domain which created a feeling of sorrow everywhere, the Domain of the Supreme God of Star Ocean created a feeling of protecting, of willingness, and of bravery… and even, a touch of passionate and wild love!

Charisma!

Just what kind of man was this?

Kireina who was never interested in any man in her entire life, couldn't help but feel… surprised and shaken.

He was really a handful…

The Supreme Goddess of Life and Origin glanced at Kireina with clear anger in her eyes, and then at the Supreme God of Star Ocean.

"Move aside, I am going to slay her." She said.

So adamant!

Even before another supreme as old as her?!

"Come on, don't be like that." Said the Supreme God, without an itch of fear!

"I am not in the mood to hear your annoying voice… Move aside, or else…" muttered the Supreme Goddess of Life and Origin.

The Supreme God of Star Ocean smiled defiantly, the smile emerged within his mass of stars.

"Or else what?"

RUMBLE!

Two Supreme Domains began to clash against one another!

Kireina's Supreme Domain suddenly was dwarfed!

She felt… overwhelmed!

One Domain was trying to suppress her and strangle her, and another was trying to protect her.

The two Supreme Gods were clashing with fury by merely looking at one another.

Just what kind of catastrophe could they make if they were to actually fight?!

The two's sight was locked.

"…"

"So? You're in the mood to shake the world?"

"…You have been brainwashed. Why do you have an interest in her? Are you insane? Ah, why do I even bother? Yes, you are…" said the Supreme Goddess of Life and Origin.

The Supreme God of Star Ocean laughed boisterously!

"Hahahahahahah! If you're going to ask questions you know the answers for, then why do you even ask them?" said the Supreme God of Star Ocean.

His presence was so charismatic and overprotective of Kireina, it felt as if she was his child or something…

His very presence was so warm too. It didn't felt at all how she thought he would be.

It was such a charismatic and lovable man.

It could even be said that he was… rather amazing!

How was he like this? And why?

Kireina was finally given a chance to breathe, though, as she recalled that Ova was with her and that Agatha… could be revived.

She simply willed it and Agatha was reborn within her divine realm, inside a fruit.

"Eh? Where… am I? Ugh…"

"Let's go."

Ova appeared right before Agatha, giving her new clothes, and grabbing her with her arms, carrying her like a princess…

"Fweeh?! W-What are you doing?! Didn't I die though?! What's going on! Explain to me something, Ova! You rude titan!"

"Mother came to kill Kireina because she killed us, but we are alive now, so the fight is pointless. We are going outside to calm her before she destroys the entire Realm." Said Ova.

"Oh… Good! Make her kill Kireina then!" said Agatha.

Ova approached her hands to Agatha and grabbed her cheeks, stretching them.

"You're a very spoiled brat, aren't you?"

"Gueeeggh…! Y-You're so awful! Stop! Uggh! Uauaaaggh…!"

"The World's Will used you as her pawn, and forced us to fight against Kireina so mother can come and kill her. But don't you know how mother is? She doesn't like to fight, she is not bloodthirsty even. The only times when she fights is to protect us… The World's Will… is such a scheming bastard!" Ova roared, as she flew outside through a portal that Kireina opened.

Suddenly, the two great goddesses were overwhelmed by three Supreme Domains! They felt like throwing out at any moment!

"W-What is this tremendous pressure? Unbelievable…" muttered Ova.

"Mother's aura… but those two… Ahh… Ugh… Kireina!" muttered Agatha, twisting her face in anger.

"She's a supreme now." Said Ova.

"EEEEEH?!"

Agatha was left shocked!

"She's so thankful for your power that let her get to it that she revived you out of pity, never forget her act of goodwill, Agatha!" said Ova.

"Mother!"

Ova cried to the Supreme Goddess of Life and Origin, as she suddenly stopped discussing with the Supreme God of Star Ocean.

"Eh? Ova? A-Agatha? You're… alive?!"

Her Supreme Domain carried them towards her, as she checked all of their life signals and everything!

"Your souls were reconstructed? Your emotions and consciousness are the same as the ones before dying too… You're not just clones made to your former images, but true reincarnations? Kireina… you can do such a thing?!" asked the Supreme Goddess of Life and Origin, as she looked at Kireina in disbelief.

"And a few other things too. She's filled with surprises." Said the Supreme God of Star Ocean.

"Even then… you killed them to grow stronger, didn't you? Then… you revive them back? And their power doesn't seem so far from how they were…" muttered the Supreme Goddess of Life and Origin. She felt confused. She didn't knew what to do now.

Ova looked at her adoptive mother.

"Mother, enough is enough. You are not like this… We are fine. Kireina said she'll revive everyone from my family that died too, even Agatha's party." Said Ova.

"Is… that so…" muttered Supreme Goddess of Life and Origin.

"No! Kill her already! I hate her! She killed me!" said Agatha.

"Shut up for once, Agatha! Adults are speaking!" roared Ova.

"You shut up, you mass of muscles!" roared Agatha.

The Supreme Goddess of Life and Origin began to cry as she watched her daughter's fight.

Her tears were so vibrant and bright, they resembled a beautiful and golden ambrosia.

But her tears were not of sorrow, but of happiness…

"Mother?" asked Ova.

"Eh? W-Why are you crying?" asked Agatha.

Her two daughters saw their mother cry for perhaps the first time ever…

The Supreme Goddess of Life and Origin looked at her daughters lovingly, as she embraced them with her titanic body, her face rubbed over the two…

"Haha… I thought… Sniff… That I would never see you fighting like this again… Sniff… Fine, Kireina. I forgive you." Sighed the Supreme Goddess of Life and Origin.

It seemed that Supreme Goddess of Life and Origin was a mother that loved her children just as much as Kireina…

Kireina sighed in relief so loud the entire space broke around her.

"Sigh… God lord, you're really a handful, Supreme Goddess of Life and Origin!" said Kireina.

"And you're really someone interesting, Supreme Goddess of Primordial Chaos and Eternal Demise…" said the Supreme Goddess of Life and Origin.

The Supreme God of Star Oceans sighed in relief too.

"Phew, well done, Kireina." He said.

"I still have to thank you; you saved my ass." She said.

"Hahaha! Don't worry, that's what friends are there for!"

A new curtain opened within Kireina's Epic Tale… the mysterious world of Supreme Gods has been opened to her.

Meanwhile, the World's Will raged… Nothing went as she wanted!
