[Day 385]

We spent around four days relaxing around the springs.

Indeed, we just slept in that comfy hotel room and enjoyed the nice meals, the excellent service, and the springs to our heart's contents.

It was a little vacation, per say. Something we did in a whim which we ended enjoying a lot and we kept there for several days without moving elsewhere.

It was so relaxing! And now that we were back home, I just woke up from bed.

Hehe, even while being a Supreme Goddess, life hasn't changed as much. I love to spend time with my family in this way. Fights to the death aside, life is way more than just that! You know? You gotta enjoy those little bits, those little moments that impulse you to move forward and fight for your life and those you love…

However, in the morning, Flora and Aura called me through divine messages, the World's Will began to make a fuss again about me inside the Interdimensional Merchant Shop.

She was leaving messages proclaiming me as the "first ever demonic supreme" and even as "the one that brings endless despair" everywhere…

Wow, alright, thanks for the tips… It really helps to get known better around. As if they didn't knew already, I was the Supreme of Chaos and Demise, retard.

However, I confronted her while she was giving a speech to a large group of gods, around a few thousands from other faraway realms from the Realm of Vida.

"Everyone, due to your negligence, the demon had grown to a level of power that is too exponential! You have already seen the chaos outside! She's a demon that only does terrible things. Don't dare support her in any way shape or form, or you'll get eaten before even realizing it…"

"Hm? Am I that famous?"

I emerged without anyone noticing, my divine avatar resembling myself. My glorious figure left most gods speechless. Chaos and divinity fusing together into something they could only glance in awe.

"You… Kireina!" roared the World's Will.

"I am no Demonic Supreme, nor any Bringer of Endless Despair as this world's will is talking about. I have repented long ago, and I had raised into this stage purely through effort alone. My path has been short but filled with so many challenges than most of you ever had in hundreds of years. The efforts I've put, and the power I have mustered from my very will had been immense. There was no fight where I participated where I didn't put everything I had. She's lying and she knows it!" I said, pointing at the bright sphere of light, the world's will avatar within the Interdimensional Merchant Shop.

"Heh, you're trying to do that again? Proclaiming yourself to be a being of good and maternity? That you're the supreme of love now or something?! Behold! I had recorded the massacre she unleashed over the innocent and poor souls of the Realm of Vida's Central Continent. This malicious demon not only killed thousands of gods indiscriminately, but she also slaughtered Ova and Agatha, the Supreme Goddess of Life and Origin's daughters! Why? Because she wanted to devour them! This was the last push she needed to ascend into Supreme Goddess after all! Don't you get it?" the World's Will said, as she showed everyone within the Interdimensional Merchant Shop a large footage of my massacre against the armies of Gods, how I mercilessly killed Ova and Agatha, and other things…

Damn, I look badass.

The gods began to grow even more fearful of me. And that's not something I wanted anymore. I wanted all these gods to unify into my divine realm to strengthen my Pantheon. All Supreme Gods have gigantic pantheons that rule a zone of Genesis, and I want my own too! I already got a bunch of Gods, but I want more and more, and there are thousands of more of them scattered across the world.

Due to this, I couldn't possibly let her have her way as she destroyed my image even more, and I had prepared for this anyways, I used my own memories to create projections of them using Dream and Illusion Magic, I named this "Mind Projection".

"I do admit that I did everything I had to do to survive. I slaughtered my enemies because that's what I had to do to finish this cycle of hatred and war in my own Realm. It was the finishing line I had to put so things could go back to peace. However, I am not a demon, but a benevolent supreme goddess who accepts her own inner chaos and embraces the world as it is, in all its beauty, and in all its ugliness. Behold, this is what happened after the war."

I showed them the projections, how I revived Flora's daughters, how Aura protected me and confessed he loved me, and other things. I even added records of how I brought back to life Flora and Aura's army too, all those that died before me were brought back.

"Those that fight before me never receive a true end, I finish them for good and I take their powers, yes, but at the same time, I bring them upon a new path, I revive them and give them a new purpose, I give them the freewill to choose their new lives. And I forgive what they did to me, while imploring for their forgiveness. I am not a bad person, or… well, that's what I like to think about. I have my own family, and my own problems to think about, but gods of the world, feel no fear if you desire to come closer to me. I will embrace you with open arms… Let's build a better future together. Now that there are so many threats in the world, the least we can do is to unify as one and protect the beautiful world we had been born in. Perhaps it is filled with ruthless bloodshed, perhaps it is filled with pain, sadness, sorrow… But it is also filled with happiness, warmth, tenderness, hope, and love… If you love the world as much as I do, with its bad and good parts, come with me, and I will lead you to the future ahead." I said.

Everyone was left speechless.

"Kireina…"

"Her words were so filled with pure honesty."

"I wasn't able to detect a single lie."

"Despite being a Supreme Goddess of Chaos, how is it possible for her to speak with such humbleness?"

"But don't we all feel like that?"

"Indeed… we love our world!"

"Let's protect it, and survive this era together… there are many external enemies coming to this world now! There's no point in fighting between each other, come with me, and I will lead you to the bright future ahead! We'll cross the stars, the cosmos, and we'll reach further into the void, one day, I promise all of you… I will break Fate, and set you all free!"

"Fate…"

"She'll break fate…"

"Is fate is gone, our destinies are no longer predestined, right?"

"We will not be bound by this world's fate…"

"Just like the prophecies had foretold. The chaos supreme will one day destroy Fate and bring forth an era of freedom. The outer universe will open to us, and we'll gain the knowledge of the true world outside…" said an mysterious great goddess. I think she was someone related with Lazuli…

"Skadi is right!"

"The prophecies!"

"The ancient tale about the chaos supreme, the one that would one day destroy fate and bring forth an era of change, an era of freedom!"

The World's Will suddenly saw as all the people changed minds.

"No… Wait… You fools! You're being tricked! She's… She's an evil beign! Don't you understand?! If fate is broken… then the world will end!" said he World's Will.

"It won't."

"In fact, if fate is broken. The world will one more come back up together, into the true form it once held."

Flora and Aura's avatars emerged at my side, my two allies. Supreme gods!

"Ahhh…!"

"T-Those are!"

"It can't be…!"

"I can't believe it… they're really KIREINA'S ALLIES!"

All the gods began to freak out as the presences of my two supreme friends appeared.

"The Supreme Goddess of Life and Origin! The pillar of all Life and its Origin! The Mother of Life!"

"And the Supreme God of Star Ocean! The creator of the Astral Road! And the King of Constellations!"

"Y-You two…! Are you for real?! You really became her ally?!" cried the World's Will.

"Yes! And I am here to EXPOSE YOU!" roared Flora, pointing at the World's Will!

"Indeed, we got a few things to talk about," said Aura.

"Y-You…!"

Flora immediately began to talk, generating several projections around the space.

She showed the memories of her daughter Agatha, how she was offered the Dao and the power to kill Kireina by the hands of the world's will and the supreme goddess of fate and destiny and the supreme goddess of souls and reincarnation!

It was exposed how she used her as a tool, a mere tool to kill Kireina, but also to provoke and force Kireina to kill them if she were capable somehow, bringing forth the Supreme Goddess of Life and Origin to kill Kireina, her ultimate scheme!

"She tricked us all and made us for fools! My daughter suffered their deaths because they were used as puppets by her, to force Kireina to kill them in self-defense so she could trigger my appearance, and I could get rid of her… something that goes against my beliefs of life, but that I was forced to do to maintain my honor as a mother… But Kireina revived my daughters and all her children, and even brought back to my precious Gaia… She showed me WHO was the real enemy, and it was you, WORLD'S WILL!" roared Flora, her presence was incredibly domineering, she was a QUEEN in all her glory, no, an EMPRESS. Her very existence exuded dictatorial nature…

Her eyes blazed with fiery golden light, the world's will was cornered.

"N-No… You got it all wrong, F-Flora!" she cried.

"I am the first Supreme Goddess… I am also a member of the old race of humans, the ones that struggled to fight you, an alien existence that threatened our world millions of years ago. You destroyed our civilization, slaughtered our people mercilessly, and stole our world, making it yours… Do you think I have any consideration towards a monster like you? You're the one that started it all!" roared Flora, the entire world shook!

The truth was revealed!

"What?"

"The Supreme… WHAT DID SHE SAID?!"

"The World before… everything?"

"The Ancient Human Civilization before the Cultivation Era. I see… So it existed."

"This world… was once a world named Earth." Said Flora.
