1619 The Voices Of Calamities Beyond Realities
-----
The world of Grand Terra floated amidst a near-endless cosmos, within an enormous bubble known as the Nova Universe located within the Noctis Dimension, a bubble after a bubble that contained countless other universes and worlds within.
However, it all projected as a beautiful bubble of countless nebulas and stars in front of the eyes glaring at it. Several figures covered on darkness looked into the bubble, as they sat over enormous thrones of their creation. Over the table, which was so big it could hold entire realities, although this was merely a projection, they saw the world of Grand Terra.
"So The Root has done it."
"It has taken one."
"Interesting, this is different than what I saw in my previous timeline."
"That caterpillar… I am honestly surprised her consciousness and ego were transformed into a new soul and summoned into a new world."
"She's certainly a pain to deal with."
The four figures who sat over their enormous thrones all showed enormous horns of different yet similar shapes. Their presences and auras, although completely different and alien with one another, remained with a certain similarity.
"Two of the same in a single world…"
"Well, it has happened many times in the Elevated Reality."
"The Entities of the Limbo seem to be interested on her…"
"I see, are they all conspiring against us now and trying to use her as the catalyst?"
"It might seem to be the case, but with these old men, you never know if they'll try to backstab her eventually."
"She's so small and cute though… I feel like I could just squish her to death with my finger."
"You already saw that even killing her conventionally won't work! If you try this again she might even revive in yet another dimension!"
"Tch…"
"Manipulating the threads of reality didn't worked completely. Our little servant has not been able to completely defeat her, even by using the Aura of the Destined Antagonist."
"What a failure of a being… Well, she's still useful."
"Indeed, she's a holder of some special powers. There are certainly several things she got some potential for."
"Well, she'll do just fine now, as long as the little caterpillar eventually finds her other self..."
"Let's see what she can do now…"
They watched, they had been watching, ever before Kireina was even born. They were always there, watching and observing. They were there… always.
Kireina was surely someone more special than she could ever guess for such entities of an elevated level of reality to have their eyes on for so long.
Their shining eyes of various colors all shone brightly, as smiles surged in their lips, eyes that could glance across realities and quintillions of light years…
"We are watching, let's see how far you can go now…"
"Let's see if those Fragments can do something…"
"It is inevitable though."
"Reality itself obeys our wills."
"Eventually… it shall all be assimilated."
"Let's see your last struggles."
"As you wander through an endless ordeal of problems."
"Will you be able to do something?"
"Or perish?"
However, what they had no idea of is that Kireina herself held a power that could even defy The Root, the power of Defiance. Something not only forged by the power of the Universe where she was born, or by her mother herself, but also with the help of those beyond the cosmos, watching her… somehow, despite her being so insignificant to all of them, they held within her their hopes.
The hopes for her to save Endless Realities submerging into Complete Stagnation. These figures, amorphous in form, capable of defying the nature of dimensions refuged themselves within the realm of nothingness, the Limbo.
"Her journey has just begun but she has reached far now…"
"Soon, she'll go back."
"She was summoned by a Bridge Between Realities, interesting…"
"However, this little Bridge is in danger…"
"Across all timelines, we can see many endings to this conflict."
"However, due to her powers, no future is absolute, and everything constantly changes."
"Indeed, she is the Greatest Variable."
"That, she is!"
The figures spoke with hopes for Kireina, while those other four seemed to narrow their eyes against them… as they glared across dimensions and realities.
And all of this, while Kireina sought to go back to her family back in Genesis, completely unaware of the greater beings seeing her as a piece of an enormous chess game. Wherever she ends up will either be a win or a lose for such entities.
After all, she was the Greatest Variable.

(Kireina POV)
When the morning came, the folk of the village were all surprised about what had happened. I didn't really told them the little trick I did because that was a big secret! If I just tell them something like that they're going to go nuts.
Like… they're obviously going to ask me to do crazy stuff most likely or might even fear me as a monster. I've always done a lot of fucked up things, but I know when I have to keep it hidden from more innocent souls and pure hearts.
I know that there are some people made for this, and others… that are simply better off not knowing. Some might not even be able to comprehend my true intentions at all after all. I am a monster amongst monsters.
But I've always liked to do questionable acts so I can protect those of pure hearts. Call it being a hypocrite or whatever, but I guess I really do enjoy it to an extent.
When I went back to Ariant and Eriant home, I greeted their grandmother. Luminous was there as well alongside Fiere, and we decided to have a meal in the backyard. Sol had yet to wake up, but he was recovering just fine, and was quite healthy.
"Kireina, I need you to explain me something, how did you even raise that tree?!" Luminous asked desperately.
"Oh that tree… Hahahaa… Well, with a Skill!" I said.
FLASH!
However, before we could keep talking, I suddenly felt something.
Elfina's connection went back up.
She was finally awake!
