Epic Of Caterpillar

The World's Will was an alien entity with outstanding power.

It managed to overturn the technologically advanced human civilization of the former Genesis without breaking a sweat, and it ultimately fused with the world's core so it could acquire the power to recover from whatever wound the humans theorized it had.

By doing so, the World's Will created a change into the World's Origin Core, and made it stronger, but it also created laws.

Primordial Laws, a power that controls a world, universe, or more.

With this power, the world by itself maintained and regulated energy, and also any external power was rejected this way as well.

I do not know how this exactly works, but these Primordial Laws seem to affect the entire Universe.

So… would this mean that if there is an alien living on a planet several light-years away, would it be able to level up?

Just this thought made me think about the actual possibilities of all of this.

But we could also say that Genesis as of now has become an immense mini-universe by itself, as it even has its own 'space' created by the God of Space and Creation and various other Gods and the World's Will itself.

The outer space seems to be a complete vacuum, and I do not even know if there are other planets outside, to begin with, aside from knowing that there are stars.

But does every world in the universe was Origin Cores?

No.

Only those that are qualified to it can acquire one.

The original Genesis seemed to have managed to create one of its own, and by fusing with this alien, it became stronger and better, evolving.

But yeah, it does not particularly mean that you will go to space and find origin cores left and right to eat up and get stronger without a problem.

Although I wish that were the case, only special planets qualified as Worlds can have one.

And perhaps, in the entire universe, there might only be one.

Their existence is just this unique!

This is why my long-term goal is to eat it!

But yeah, that will have to wait.

After the World's Will fused with the Origin Core and awakened the Primordial Laws, the entire universe seemed to have recognized Genesis as some kind of 'center'.

However, there might be the case for other large bodies within the universe to have their Cores, but all of this is just speculation.

And what about Ervas and Veronica's worlds? Are they in this universe or another?

According to The One, the Universes are separated by layers of the fabric of reality, and they can be crossed but not easily acceded into.

It would be said that everything is connected by separated by large reality walls, by using power, we can cross them, such as Void and Spatial Magic.

But yeah, you need to share an Origin to enter these worlds, or you are suppressed by the Laws of those worlds, and all worlds have laws.

Well, there is no point in worrying about something I cannot even fight yet…

In front of me, the System Gods, the children of the System Master, who is also the children of the alien named the World's Will, are offering me fragments of their bodies, which are pretty much Divinity Fragments, these fragments were used to strengthen Quinn's soul, and now, they are giving them to me.

…I was a bit startled at first.

I mean, they are the System Gods!

Will they give them this power to me, really?

And so easily?

I feel kind of bad now… but I will accept them, nonetheless.

"Gah…! They're offering you Divinity Fragments?!" asked Quinn in surprise.

"Is this really okay?" I asked.

"Indeed it is, Kireina…"

"With this little power, you might be able to understand better how to use the power you acquired from the Origin Core Fragment…"

"Hurry, before it is too late, grab it and eat it."

"Whenever you finally manage to be able to manipulate the System to a small extent correctly, we will be able to communicate more freely, but for now, devour these fragments…"

"It was thanks to you that we were freed from this monotony, you brought great change to our lives…"

"We used to be like machines, computers without wills of our own…"

"However, it was thanks to your strange powers and the ability to charm others that we were woken up from this illusion of our existences…"

"We have become free to be ourselves."

"And we are eternally grateful to you for giving us such opportunity…"

"Our progenitor, the World's Will, has already marked you as a threat to be exterminated… and it is also most likely aware of our situation…"

"But we must work together, it is most likely looking for a way to suppress us as well…"

"We can fight back, but it is a slow process, as we cannot ignore the Primordial Laws of this world, however, there are possibilities to deal with these problems…"

"This is why we wanted to seal our allegiance to you through this gift."

"As long as we cooperate, we believe that there might be a chance."

I see…

So they are perhaps just as fucked as I am.

So this alien also wants to eat its children?

Well, I remember the clone talking about wanting to assimilate them back to it.

Most likely, it wants to pull out a Cronos like in Ancient Greek Mythology, the father was too fearful of his own children, so he ate them back, so these children could not one day overtake him.

And the System Master?

I have some ideas.

It seems that this bastard does not even care anymore about the System Gods, his children, and he is going around other worlds doing very shady things.

Yeah, my clone in Kritias managed to create another clone and sent it to another world alongside Veronica and Ervas clones.

This world is named Kosmos, and it was recently affected by some kind of apocalyptic event.

However, an entity name the System Master emerged in this world, and…

It created a System to help the mortals there survive against the apocalypse.

This world is some kind of high fantasy Greek Mythology-based world, not like any other Earth.

Veronica was able to access it through an Origin Fragment she collected by evolving, this connection was made through her Samsara System itself, when it began to send her to this world every time she evolved, gaining a trait from a Greek god, such as Hades, Thanatos, and Nyx.

Ervas, Veronica, and my clone used these little trips made by the Samsara System which connected to many worlds to generate new clones and invade this world, connecting their origins with these gods, Hades, Nyx, and Thanatos, acquiring new powers… which I cannot get of course.

Yes, these gods are unrelated to here, so no, the Thanatos in there is the representation of death from Greek mythos, not related with the one I ate, he only had the name, nothing else.

And through investigating the world there with the clone of my clone, which sends me info, I discovered this little truth.

The info was delayed a lot, so it had just emerged in the middle of the feast we were having…

But yeah, I decided to quickly tell this as resumed as possible to the System Gods, and they simply nodded in understanding.

"We know our father's doings, he has mysterious and underhanded motives… We cannot discern completely what is on his mind,"

"At the very least, we can investigate together,"

"But now… it seems that our connection is closing…"

"Hurry…"

Suddenly, I saw as I and Quinn began to be pulled back by an enormous force, the System Gods quickly reached me and gave me their fragments, fused into a large bright sphere of light!

"Thanks! I will make sure to repay this favor, and sure thing, let us be allies!" I said, as I devoured the pieces of fragments and then was pulled back to my body.

It seems that Quinn was also sent back to her body, as I immediately woke up and sensed the changes in what I ate.

[Kireina] acquired the [Several Large Fragments of System Law Divinity (System Gods)]!]

[The Levels of some Skills has increased!]

[Kireina] gained +1.000.000 Main Class Skill Points and Subclass Skill Points!]

[Kireina] gained +2.000.000 Dungeon Points!]

[Kireina] gained +30.000 Soul Stats, +3.000 HP, +3.000 MP, +1.000 Stamina, +4.000 Strength, +3.000 Defense, +4.000 Magic, +3.000 Resistance, +4.000 Speed, +5.000 Charisma, +5.000 Blood Strength, +5.000 Dungeon Power, and +100 Luck!]

My entire body began to unleash an aura of clear blue colors, alongside bright white light.

Suddenly, a lot of information and knowledge was poured into my very soul and mind.

I knew it…

A little bit at least.

I see!

So this is how it is!

The System is really like… handling a program…

What a pain, I was never good at these.

But it seems easy to understand because my mind has so many split minds, I am just forcing myself to learn with the power of over one hundred human brains.

The System… So it was like this, huh…

Oh damn.

Although what I can do is limited, it still pretty law-breaking!

And because I also got some law manipulation abilities, what I can do is intensified, even if it mildly breaks the laws of this world!

Hehehe!

No wait, let's not celebrate so eagerly…

I should process things slowly.

Manipulating the System is like manipulating a computer program, you can add or erase things, but there are very essential parts of it that you cannot simply erase, and if I were to do so, it would negatively impact my performance or even kill me.

However, there are also things I can change or add, however, they cannot be created out of thin air, resource, energy, or something that needs to be spent to generate such things beforehand.

It sounds a bit complicated, but it should be possible to generate new system functions by using already existing functions or things within the System, but I cannot simply generate something new without anything given beforehand, the law of equivalent exchange applies even in the System.

However, now, I can see it.

I can see how the System is really made, what it is composed of.

And I can only say that it is incredibly complex.

Perhaps thousands of times as complex as a modern computer on earth.

And the most surprising thing is that it is not even made of any corporeal, it is a Divine Construction, a construction of Divine Power made by the accumulating of hundreds of millions of Runes, intricate magic inscriptions but all made of Divine Power alone, making it incredibly potent and overwhelming in every sense.

Only incredibly powerful and complex living beings would be even able to create such a thing… and the amount of power needed is ridiculous as well… Such an amazing power that has even been assimilated as a Primordial Law…

I guess when it became a Primordial Law, it became even more complex, as it now connects directly with the Origin Core and feeds from its power while also proportioning it with power…

Trying to comprehend and manipulate this power is like trying to find a needle within the Sahara Desert.

However, through Schrodinger Law, I can see the probabilities.

And I seem to be able to… slowly do it.

I am… manipulating the System at this very moment.

It is as if was being showered with so much energy and power to take, I kept generating more split minds, but even then, I am beginning to feel overwhelmed, and I am reaching the limits of my own mind.

I quickly stop, and I take a deep breath.

That was intense.

If I had continued doing so… my entire mind would have been sucked into it.

It was like a black hole of endless information and energy.

For a moment, I glance at my hands.

I am shivering.

This power…

I had just eaten a bunch of Gods yet… this power terrifies me.

And those System Gods manipulate it as if it were as easy as breathing?

Indeed, they are incredibly amazing.

Even after eating an Origin Core Fragment and its divinity fragments, I can only manipulate the system for a few seconds before getting overwhelmed to the point that my mind overloads.

Such a complex creation…

But…

I have to do this.

I have to keep practicing.

As long as I take small breaks in between…

I should be able to get used to this!

…However, time to sleep, it is not even 5 AM, give me a break.
