I glanced at the evolution options, I had high expectations, to be honest.

Ding!

[Displaying Evolution Options…]

[Evolution Options]:

[Void Traversing Primordial Chaos Millipede Of Destruction]

[Rank]: [S]

A monstrous entity, a gigantic millipede that can easily devour entire Realms once it is hungry. It utilizes powerful Void and Space Magic Abilities to traverse the void itself in search for food. It fancies the destruction of things, and it seeks battles and strength above all things. Once seen, entire worlds are evacuated in fear of its deadly power before it is too late. It is highly territorial, but never stays in a single place for too long, claiming territories of whatever it has laid waste over. Good at both speed, defense, and offense. Evolution Options are large.

Here's the first option! Honestly not bad at all. In fact it sounds pretty damn good. And it's a complete change from my butterfly or caterpillar forms, a giant millipede! I guess it would be a nice change, becoming a wide arrange of buggers would be interesting. And its evolution options are large, so I could probably evolve back into a butterfly as I please. It's not like the butterfly forms disappears either, with my ability to shapeshift I've already got them all saved in my head, I could turn back easily.

It seems to be slightly like the previous moth evolution option I had too… But that moth was specialized for running away rather than anything else. However, this Millipede uses the moth's void traversing powers for offense instead, doesn't sound bad at all… But there's two more, so let's check them over first before completely deciding, though this one's winning already.

[Aberrant Abyssal Primordial Chaos Beelzefly of Gluttony]

[Rank]: [S+]

An aberrant demonic beast that roams Hell freely. It has the shape of an aberrant and gigantic fly, and it goes around eating and devouring anything it finds and sees with its very eyes. It possess incredibly agility and movement speed, and it can fly at immensely fast speeds. It has a deadly poisonous stinger, terrifying jaws that can tear down anything, and an acid to melt everything. Its exoskeleton is hard enough to be capable of withstanding the blows of other powerful Demon Beasts without even leaving a scratch. They're a rare sight in the Demon Realm of Hell, and they're often associated with the Archdemon of Gluttony, Beelzebub. Evolution Options are limited.

And this one just came out of nowhere. Is this due to my connection with Lucifer? Even now I still hold his name within my own name, even after reincarnating! This might be a chance to embrace more of my demonic powers… Or not.

Becoming a giant fly is certainly… something. I don't know if it would be as cool as a millipede, well both are buggers of destruction and might look aberrant. This one's evolution's stronger though, and it seems to be because it's based on an endemic life form from Hell, wow.

Its evolution options are limited though… Well, let's check this last one first before anything else. Ah, I wonder if it's another weird bugger. If this was a millipede, a fly… maybe another butterfly, right? Or maybe another caterpillar? Now that would be insane-

[Primordial Cosmic Chaos Cocoon of Rebirth]

[Rank]: [S-]

A mysterious cocoon that floats across Universes, it is composed of Primordial Chaos and Cosmic Energy, and it contains a living organism inside, which is slowly developing and growing bigger, a new being which will be born, bringing forth an incredible form and powers within. It is covered on powerful and hard blue and purple metal-like coverture, and it is capable of shapeshifting or turning completely different from its original shape, making it almost impossible to detect. Known as one of the greatest treasures across all Dimensions. Evolution Options are endless.

…Eh?

What the heck is this?

What am I even reading right now?!

It's not even a defined bug at all, but a cocoon of something?!

And it can turn into… endless possibilities?!

It has Cosmic Power too, what I've been trying to assimilate all this time! My effort has paid off!

And above all… "One of the Greatest Treasures Across all Dimensions"… Are these cocoons like some sort of treasure chest or what?

But this… I just cannot miss this opportunity.

I guess I'll leave becoming a giant world-eating millipede for another occasion, I gotta take this!

Ding!

[You've chosen the [Primordial Cosmic Chaos Cocoon of Rebirth] Evolution Option!]

[Evolution has started!]

FLAAASH!

The moment I took upon the evolution, I felt like I was transported elsewhere, far, far away from where I was standing.

I found myself in the middle of an endless cosmos of stars, planets, and nebulas.

It was beautiful beyond comprehension. Mystical, even.

It made me feel at ease, the more I stared at this beautiful scenery, the more relaxed I felt, it felt as if I was… in my place. Where I belonged.

Is this… true?

Maybe because I was born from mother, and I was raised within the endless emptiness of space itself… As I was feed stars by her and all.

It naturally just comes from me. Seeing this endless space, which would terrify other people, it made me feel soothed.

And then I hear a relaxing lullaby, the song my mother used to sing whenever she caressed me beneath her endless darkness, as we stared the horizon of stars, without end.

"Sleep well, my beautiful child…"

"Mother will always be there for you~"

"Amidst this beautiful cosmos, what do you want to be?"

"Even if you want to be a little planet, or a star… Mama will always be with you~"

Is this… the first time I am remembering such a moving memory?

This is… Am I crying?

"Eh?!"

Suddenly, I found myself in a body that I didn't quite recognized completely, yet it was always mine too. A sphere of endless chaos, with a big red eye, and many tiny tentacles surrounding it.

And at my side, encompassing me with her endless and unfathomable self, was my mother, Khaos.

Is this.. a vision of the past?
