Epic of Caterpillar

Bilili and Vulcan guided the 5 Dream Clones of Kireina through the sea of Dreams, which was within the enormous and invisible Dream Cloud hovering above the Realm of Vida.

This special formation of over accumulated residual dreams was formed thousands of years ago when many living beings inside of the Realm of Vida slept and dreamed. This intensified over time, as the residual Dream Essence leaked and was stopped from getting outside of the Realm due to its thick atmosphere, making this Dream Essence turn into an invisible cloud that only those who have attained dream-related divinities can see.

The Enormous Dream Cloud had not only absorbed the residual Dream Fragments of dreams that dissipated when a person that slept woke up, but it also slowly absorbed those generated by Gods dreams, who, similarly to mortals, also dreamed and woke up, unaware that by doing this simple task, dream essence was leaked.

Like this, it not only gained unrefined energies, but it also gained some sort of divinity, and over the years, such divinity intensified.

Kireina planned to use this Dream Cloud as a tool to reach the dreams of all living beings within the central continent.

This was possible due to her amazing power over Dreams and the power of the Dream Cloud, which was connected to all the dreams of the living beings, even Great Gods were not able to escape its power!

And even more, Kireina planned to ultimately devour it! As it could be seen as an incredible Divine Material at the level of the Yggdrasil Sprout. She couldn't help but imagine gaining thousands of Dream/Nightmare Attribute Particles the moment she devoured it!

But for now, this was not the time, as it could come more in handy as a tool.

Bilili, Vulcan, and the Dream Clones dived through a sea of illusory clouds and gases, which were all pink, purple, and black, sometimes even yellow, gray, and pale blue, all twisting around constantly.

"Finally getting out of our dream really does feel strange. In that world, we were like giants floating in space, but here we had become so small…" said Vulcan.

"Bililililili!" said Bilili, as he agreed. He was used to being a gigantic mass of tentacles inside his Dream World, but here he had been reduced in a size way too much! Although he still had around 200 meters of height, and so did Vulcan, resembling Titans.

"We are here…" said one of the Dream Clones, as she pointed out at a large cluster of many illusions, they seemed to constantly show different images, and they seemed to be connected with countless colorful rivers that resembled rainbows… some of them were dark and chaotic too.

These were Dreams, which we're projecting into the Dream Cloud, there were millions of them.

"Then let's begin~ Fufu," laughed Vulcan, as a mischievous smile emerged in her beautiful lips, she, Bilili, and the Dream Clones flew into these dreams, beginning to influence them through their natural Dream Powers, and while also borrowing part of Kireina' Path Jewels, although only her Dream Clones could do it, and it was only one or two abilities at most.

Suddenly, many people inside the central continent and even Living Deities and Demigods began to have strange dreams… some of them were about an incredibly sexy fairy hugging them and petting them, others had them eating what seemed to be her flesh, and other dreams were about them having intercourse with her… there were all kinds of dreams, and they seemed to all be custom-made for these people.

Whenever someone woke up from them, they would feel dizzy and confused, but wouldn't be able to explain what had really happened, is filled with intrigue and wonder, and growing more and more interested about what this really was.

Soon enough, the people would begin to encroach through Dreams.

Meanwhile, within a space inside of Kireina's Divine Realm that was simply filled with emptiness, one of her clones specifically made to assimilate Void Essence opened her eyes.

She had received enlightenment, and it seemed that her Void Law Comprehension had raised y 1%! Enough for her to gain great insight about what "Void" really was and what it could be done with it.

Even more, as she constantly assimilated the Void Essence, she made it into Divine Energy and Primordial Essence, and even gained Void Attribute Particles out of it, nourishing her power to even greater levels of power, to even greater heights!

It was but a matter of time before she was to become a Great Goddess, but through this passive method of gaining power coupled with the Dream Essence assimilation one, Kireina was constantly gaining even more power passively, and if she were to be capable of doing a similar thing with other attributes, she might be able to raise even faster, to even greater levels… even to a Supreme Goddess, perhaps.

The Kireina within this complete emptiness floated in midair while crossing her legs and meditating, her entire body was being constantly covered by an essence that seemed to be invisible yet incredibly black, it was dense yet light, it was there… yet it wasn't.

This was the mysterious power of Void Attribute, it was an attribute that led to nowhere, yet it existed. It was non-corporeal and even non-ethereal, it wasn't an existence between the two, it was merely a concept that was embodied through techniques and magic, it was a power, yet it was nothing at the same time.

Those that were able to manipulate nothingness themselves were… incredibly rare.

All around the Realm of Vida, there was not a single God or Great God capable of manipulating the Void Attribute, and the only one that was knowledgeable of it to an extent was Lucifer, the Supreme God of space and Creation, albeit he only was able to manipulate the Void Attribute's cousin, Space Attribute better.

Void Attribute was the concept of emptiness, an emptiness that was actually an essence, something that filled it all, yet it was empty at the same time, gaining but a speck of the understanding of such a concept enlightened Kireina's mind, filling her with inspiration.

"So this is what comprehending Laws is about!" she thought, feeling enlightened by the power of Laws, a concept that she shouldn't even be capable of touching yet, but due to her strange powers that defied the laws of the world, she was stepping into this end game closer than she had ever expected in her entire life. Not even the World's Will was aware of such an amazing cultivation technique like the ones Kireina has created through her Path Jewel Abilities!

Kireina couldn't help but learn more and comprehend more about the Void Attribute! Such a strange and mystical attribute that was within all of creation, it eve made up the pillars of the very fabric of reality, it was a transcendental attribute which Kireina needed to keep comprehending, the more she comprehended it, the more power she would be able to draw from such a transcendental power!

Kireina managed to unlock the Void Attribute by maxing out the level of her Chaos Attribute Magic and also learning Spatial Attribute Magic, it was the combination of two incredibly rare attributes which gave birth to this affinity, something that Kireina had never been able to get otherwise!

She had even wondered if her mother possessed the Void attribute, but she was not capable of speaking freely with her and had decided to not bother her with such meaningless questions, one day she will be able to speak all she wants with her mother, but for now, she needed to concentrate in the present and comprehend the depth of the Law of Void, which seemed bottomless.

The shadow-colored essence rushed into her clone body and was sucked like a vacuum by her soul, assimilating this power and slowly converting it into usable energies. Kireina was, quite literally, draining power from nothingness and converting it into usable power, such an endless source of power would never go anywhere, and she simply needed to make the process faster… faster! Yet… this was the limit of her speed, for now, the nothingness was endless and bottomless, so she would never run out of Void Essence to snack on passively within each second.

Kireina began to consider another who had to acquire the Void Attribute thanks to her, it was Ervas was from Kritias, the split soul of Veronica.

Ervas was a unique case, as when the original soul was split, large soul wounds had emerged within the two split souls.

Ervas had developed, after filling such a giant wound with mana, a Void inside of his soul.

This void intensified as he awakened his bloodline that let him connect to the Outer Void, a plane outside of the several spaces that contained worlds, where entities named Outer Gods inhabited, the ones created by Azathoth.

By connecting to this realm while also fusing such astral connection to his Void inside of his soul, the little wound became bigger and bigger, absorbing an endless quantity of Void Essence, which the boy was completely unaware of until Kireina's clone got there and guided him into learning more of it.

After she made Veronica and Ervas eat her clone soul fragments, the two were able to awaken their innate talents for Chaos and Void which were sealed due to the laws of Kritias, where such attributes supposedly didn't exist.

Kireina had already begun her little invasion in another world while things moved quickly within Genesis, of course, by allying these two reincarnated souls, she was helped a lot, and was slowly forging her Origin of Kritias.

It was a deal of mutual benefit, and Kireina noticed that her clone had already grown by itself and had developed its own ego and personality separated from her, and as she was guided by Ervas and Veronica, she grew fond of them for all the time spent there, which had been many months in Kritias.

Her clone there had adapted to Ervas and Veronica's needs, and quickly developed more into Spatial Magic, the thing they lacked the most, and as of now, she had become quite a noticeably powerful Space Attribute Demigoddess.

Kireina felt proud of her clone who had reached so far, and that was also closed to have her own child with a Squirrel-kin woman she met and fell in love with.

And through her clone messages and more, even she had grown a soft spot for that split soul pair, which she saw as her adoptive children at this point, and desired to protect and help them on their goals, which would ultimately align with hers as well, as they were slowly becoming her greatest otherworldly allies.

Kireina wondered what she would do after finally gaining the Origin of Kritias, perhaps traveling there to help them out might be a nice idea, albeit she wouldn't really want to leave Genesis at the moment, as it was a place that had many things for her yet to discover and devour, she wanted to acquire this entire world and devour the World's Will, so there was a lot of work to do yet.

Kireina slowly yet steadily began to refine more of the Void Essence, as she recalled such memories and assessed her thoughts, she suddenly gained a sudden boost of power, as stats and more were gained permanently, it seemed that her Void Essence Assimilation Technique had finally given its first results.

Just a few minutes ago the other clone that was devouring Dream Worlds had also given its results, as stats and attribute particles were gained by Kireina, the boost of power and the overwhelming and overflowing aura of dream and void filled her with new strength, as she slowly gained more and more stats passively, she was already within the Realm of Great Goddess without even attaining it yet! And she was most likely going to surpass it soon after becoming one.

What would happen after this? What other wonders might await her in the near future?

Only time would tell…
