662 A Small Talk With Gods

-----

Unaware of the many events that would slowly lead to the change of the entire world… and even worlds that unfolded as she spoke with her family, Kireina decided to contact the Gods through Agatheina's Artifact to chat about a series of things.

First of all, she wanted to speak about her Void Attribute Magic, and then the 'The One', and ask for the help of the Gods, who are deeply knowledgeable to bring forth some theories about what it could really be.

"Void Attribute Magic…?! And 'The One'?! Impressive! A-Amazing! Kireina-sama! You met yet another… entity such as the one named 'Chaos'?! And just after having changed Classes?!" asked Agatheina in surprise, as her voice could be heard to resonate within the artifact with a crazed tone.

"Isn't she amazing? Fufu, it is good that she even is recognized by the gods~" laughed Zehe.

"But to be honest, we have no clue either who that guy might have been. The 'Chaos' entity already was a first for many of us, we did not even know that there were entities outside of our world similar to gods. Although we knew that there were other worlds with living beings, gods were a completely different thing…" said Morpheus.

"He named itself as 'The One', is it?" asked Hodhyl.

"Indeed. 'The One' is also a concept back in my previous life's world. It became the biggest religion across the entire world that believed in the existence of only a true and only god. Some called it 'The One', others 'The Creator', some 'The Divine Architect', and the majority just 'God'…" said Kireina.

"So, such an entity exists? An omniscient being that exists within eternity?! Just how strong might that being?!" asked Marnet.

"A lot, a few of the answers it gave to me was that the entire planes of existence were vast and almost endless, there were many universes and worlds, and Genesis was simply a speck of dust within the vast eternity…" said Kireina.

"Hm… We often are too concentrated in the present to realize what could be aside from this World…" said Merveim.

"Well, you are not to blame, Genesis is an immense world, perhaps several times bigger than my previous life one, it's natural that through such a vast world you wouldn't put much time into thinking what there could be beyond," said Kireina.

"But still, it's amazing how vast things really are… and I feel like this info that we are not supposed to actually know yet… Are we even allowed to…?" wondered Levana.

There was a strange atmosphere within the hall for a few moments, as many of the people present grew concerned, the truth about such thing seemed way too deeply saved by the 'higher ups' of Genesis, such as the Supreme Gods and the World's Will.

If not even the Gods knew about this, it was obvious that they did not want other people to know about this truth.

"A-And talking about something else… that Void Attribute Magic! How did you get that Kireina-sama?!

It seems incredibly powerful! I have never heard of such an attribute before! Not even Chaos is this rare, as there are still a few wielders…" said Agatheina.

"The description of the Skills says something about that those that are capable of grasping and mastering Chaos Attribute Magic and Space Attribute Magic can learn this other Attribute. At first, I really thought that Chaos represented the void within, but it seems that it is a bit different, Void Attribute Magic embodies the endless void that fills everything in existence. It has a lot of interesting spells, but all of them require me to accumulate Void Substance beforehand," said Kireina.

"Amazing! Is it true that you used such spells to traverse to another plane?! Not even in Genesis?!" asked Agatheina.

"Yeah, but there were a lot of complications in that regard…" said Kireina, as she explained the system message she had, alongside the needed 'origin', the constant soul damage, and the world's laws pressuring into her entire existence the moment she tried to step in there.

"That's terrifying, so just by being there, you take damage directly into your soul?!" asked Levana.

"That is right, it is terrifying… Not even I was able to resist for much longer, although I can regenerate my soul at an amazingly fast pace, I was still quickly weakening, so I decided to simply come back here… going back to my original world might be harder, even harder than I imagined…" said Kireina.

"Don't worry, masta! You'll get to do it, gu!" said Rimuru, as she patted Kireina's shoulders while giving her an innocent and gentle smile.

"Indeed, you don't have to get all worked for it, honey, you've already achieved many amazing things," said Zehe.

"We know that you will be able to reach that point, we all are here to help you out," said Nesiphae.

"We can achieve it together, as long as we keep improving ourselves, the mysteries of the world will be revealed to us eventually," said Brontes.

The rest of Kireina's family all began to cheer her up, making her very embarrassed.

"I-I know that I wasn't trying to give you pity or something…" she muttered while releasing a flush that enchanted most of her family.

"Ooooh~! Kireina-sama embarrassed?! I wish I could see that~!" said Agatheina.

"Anyways, I believe that as long as I level up the Void Attribute Magic Skill and develop my own soul and other capabilities, it should be possible for each the point where I won't take much damage… but this still worries me about all of you, as I intend to bring you with me when that time finally comes," said Kireina.

"But even if we are not able to reach the level of power that you might one day reach, we can always accompany you through your inner realms, right? You can carry them everywhere you go, after all, they're within your body and soul!" said Oga.

"Oh? I can't believe I didn't think of that… Oga, you're a genius!" said Kireina… it was something very obvious, but sometimes even the most obvious of things might not be in the mind of those that think about everything way too much, while those that are often simple-minded carry obvious answers in their minds to most things.

"I can't believe it, Oga is really getting smarter?" asked Altani.

"Is that really the Oga we know?" asked Acelina.

"Unbelievable, Oga is supposed to be a meathead!" said Ismena.

"Oga-san seems to always have bright ideas in the most crucial of moments!" said Kaguya.

"It was nothing bright, it was incredibly simple and obvious, and stop messing with me!" roared Oga while blushing over the teasing of the girls.

"But it is the truth, Kireina-sama. Oga is right, you simply can carry most people through your inner realms, is it? Even if others do not achieve your attainment level required to do what you desire, as long as you do it, the rest will always be capable of accompanying you! …And I would gladly accompany you to any world!" said Agatheina.

"Yeah, but gods such as we seem to not be allowed inside her Inner Realms, Agatheina…" said Morpheus.

"Well, that might change! What if she becomes a goddess and then it becomes possible?" asked Agatheina.

"Hm, there could be a possibility of such Skills effects upgrading by that time… Whenever I reach that point, I will be restrained a lot by the world, similarly to all of you Gods, so I am counting on everyone for that moment that will soon come, as I perceive that my power keeps increasing, I might be able to reach max level sooner than I had expected due to the many bonuses in growth that the new Blessings and Class Changes brought upon…" said Kireina.

"Indeed! I cannot wait for the time when Kireina-sama grows into a goddess amongst us, even when she is already such a Goddess both in power, charisma, and beauty!" said Agatheina.

"Being blessed by two Primordial Entities might as well bring a lot of growth increase, which is already very fast for Kireina-sama, I can't believe that it will become even faster now…" muttered Morpheus.

"And her enlightenment Skills… have you all noticed? Kireina-sama now emanates an aura that permeates both our bodies and souls, I even feel braver for some reason, something that should be impossible because I am quite cowardly," said Nyzzet.

"And you even admit it… But yeah, Kireina-sama's enlightenment had become something incredibly... Just how many Enlightenment Classes did she change into?" asked Merveim.

"She had said that more than ten at this point!" said Agatheina.

"Oooh! Amazing, amazing, Kireina-sama!" said Kaggoth who was quite silent today.

"To be expected of our lady," said Bovdohr.

"Indeed, to be expected of the great Kireina-sama," said Nomera.

"It feels as if her enlightenment is beginning to affect me even more now, she feels… so close to nature… Amazing! I even feel as if my very soul, flesh, and mind, are growing stronger by simply being below Kireina-sama's command…" said Hodhyl.

"I believe that we all feel this way already, it is simply amazing~," said Agatheina.

"Kireina-sama is like the sun of my entire life!" said Hydros who was currently with the Gods within Agatheina's Divine Realm.

"Praising me again out of nowhere… Anyways, how is Geie doing?" asked Kireina.

"Oh! That girl is sleeping soundly as we speak, the healings we had put into her soul are working well, and it seems that your own enlightenment and the blessing you left on her had begun to work into her recovery speed, Kireina-sama" said Agatheina.

"That's good, I feel like she will be a very important ally in the future…" said Kireina.

As Kireina, her family, and the gods chatted around, her mind came to remember something important that 'The One' told her.

"Oh right, according to that Primordial Entity of Eternity and Creation, my previous life world seems to be a 'parallel world', and also, it seems that there are many, almost identical worlds such as that one… he also, specifically said that Genesis was something closer to a 'parallel world' of my own, or perhaps of another original one, although it seems that there are countless parallel worlds that resembled each other but the original one is unclear… This 'Parallel World' theory that he confirmed for us might explain why there are similarities within both of these worlds, alongside things such as the mythology gods of Earth being alive as known Gods in Genesis…"

"Amazing… I feel like such knowledge shouldn't be part of our minds, we seem to carry an incredible truth within our minds now…" said Agatheina.

"So that is how it is… I guess that is why… pretty much everything," said Merveim, he meant that 'that explains everything' but got lazy midway while also being startled.

"So parallel worlds, guu? It would be nice to visit one someday! Oh, I wonder if there is a parallel me somewhere else!" said Rimuru-

"If there are parallel Zeus, there might be parallel Rimuru… Although you are the only one for me," said Kireina with a gentle smile, making Rimuru's colorful rainbow eyes shine with passion, hugging Kireina.

"Masta…" muttered Rimuru.

"Uwah, Kireina-sama you're such a romantic… I also want a hug…!" cried Agatheina as she bit into a large Ambrosia Apple within her Divine Realm.

"I wonder in what kind of wonders will Kireina grow into, her Classes are simply insane, and her powers are as well… Although 'The One' stated that she was incredibly weak… I believe that she will catch up very fast with him… we must spectate as we support her as much as we can," said Morpheus.

"Indeed, Morpheus. And not even her will grow strong, through her influence and enlightenment, even we are growing strong and powerful, I feel like I could gain a lot of power if I began to cultivate" said Maeralya.

"We could increase the time speed of our Divine Realms to cultivate more seriously, but without a proper Time Attribute Magician, it might prove to be very hard…" said Marnet.

"OH? So, you can cultivate through passing time? Hm, there is a certain young lad that possesses Time Attribute Magic within the entire Empire, seemingly the only one with it. If we manage to let him grow enough, we might have a Time God in the future as an ally. His name is Drystan, and he's a young monkey-type beast-kin boy, he's the son of Yukan, a trusted ally of mine who is currently exploring a nearby dungeon," said Kireina.

"Oooh! Kireina-sama, Time Attribute Magic is incredibly rare! Have you tried eating the kid instead?" asked Agatheina.

"Don't say such things… I would never do that to the child of my friend and ally, Agatheina…" said Kireina with an annoyed expression.

"Ah…! W-Well, sorry about that…" muttered Kireina.

"But it could be possible to create a Time Attribute Dungeon through Drystan help, and then harvest a lot of Time Attribute Monsters…" said Kireina.

"Oh!?" asked all the gods together, the idea was way too good by how Kireina talked about it so casually.

After more chatting that lasted up to lunchtime, Kireina and her family relaxed for the rest of the day, as she used her True Body Clones to train Magic and Skills, while also practicing Subclass Fields and more.
