Chapter 280: Kireina's Thoughts

-----

After having spoken with Ervas and Veronica, I was forced to become a butterfly because Veronica did not like the idea of me sleeping at Ervas side.

For real, why?

I only see him as a possible adoptive son.

Well, I have an enormous family, and although I was not like this before, I have grown into a good mother, so I often adopt children that might need a mother when certain events within my original world ended.

Oh, right, I am not really Kireina…

But I am?

Well, to tell you the truth, I am something weird.

Well, not so much, if you speak through technicalities.

I am what could be called a 'Soul Clone'.

I am a piece of Kireina's original soul, which she poured a ton of power, or well, whatever she could muster at that time.

To tell you the truth, at that time, I was rather weakened, I didn't have all of my power.

Why?

Because only my consciousness was dragged by Ervas summoning.

Yeah, only that, not my powerful physical body, nor the rest of my soul…

So I lacked a lot of power there.

But somehow, I made this amazing Clone, me.

Oh yeah, I share all of the memories and stuff.

It's like I was copy-pasted into existence…

Haha, it sounds pretty creepy if I put it like that…

Don't worry, it is not like I am having some kind of personality crisis where I don't know who is the real me.

Because clearly, I am the real one!

…Joking.

I know very well that I am a clone, not the real Kireina.

However, I possess her memories, personality, and even her will and dreams.

But I am me, different than her!

And also, incredibly similar…

Unlike Ervas or Veronica's clones, who seem to only be split minds of their same soul, I have become an independent soul, and I do not share my main body's mind or soul, even though I am made of her.

Still, I know pretty well that I got a mission to do.

And it's pretty hard.

What is it, you may wonder?

I have to slowly adapt to this world's Source of Energy, and unlock the sealed power that my main body and soul had given to me.

You know that because I had so much power, I would not be able to enter completely into this world? So my main body got the idea of nerfing me and sealing my power for now.

I will slowly break down the seal and unlock more of my original power as I go, but for now, I am really weak compared to my actual main body.

But no worries, I got a nice head start in this world, I even got the stats of this world's System, although I wish I could get the cooler Samsara System, which could give me Jobs.

Maybe I could find a way…

Yeah, I think something could be done, though I will have to ask Ervas and Veronica's permission to meddle around with their souls for a bit.

As of now, Ervas and Veronica went to rest.

Although Veronica does not even need to sleep, I comprehend her, my main body doesn't need to sleep either, yet I sleep anyway because it's nice and relaxing.

Oh right, Ervas is sleeping right below me. I am resting in my butterfly from atop him.

He's not alone though, there is Cthulhu, Nyarlathotep, and Shoggoth, Ervas' previous summoned monsters, my siblings!

And they don't know how to talk.

They are very young too and have the mind of a baby.

They're the summoned monsters that he got from three different entities he spoke with before my main body… I don't know any of them, so they might come from another world than Genesis.

Oh right, Genesis, what is Genesis?

My world, of course!

Well, not my original world, that would be my Earth.

But it is the world where my main body currently is struggling.

Well, not exactly struggling.

But she's working very hard while I am slacking off.

Oof, that feels a bit bad.

Now, now, time to check my stats.

[Kireina's Divine Protection]

Oh, I see, I see…

There are a lot of my powers that were translated in here…

But there is a lot that we're not!

Like a ton!

I can create my own armory of weapons and even materialize them like Veronica, you know?

And I can even manipulate all elements!

But it seems that it is not like this in here, my power is sealed after all…

Well, I still got a lot of unique magic that this world doesn't have.

I am quite surprised at how this world translated my powers, even though things such as Chaos, Void, Illusion, and Dream Magic don't exist, they still were adapted by the System…

Does this mean that the Gods that manipulate the System in this world recognized my power as something real?

Well, of course, it's real!

I am here after all.

There are a lot of Skills that I kind of understand, but some I don't really…

And there is this weird title… 'Otherworldly Invader'!

What?!

I didn't invade in here, I was summoned!

That's family-friendly!

[Otherworldly Invader]

A Title awarded to an otherworldly being that has been identified by the Laws and the Origin Core of this world as a dangerous invader.

This Title makes all Gods within the world aware of your existence.

Huh…

Hmm…

Ahaha…

WHAT?!

Isn't this kind of terribly bad news?!

If the Gods are aware of me, they will know about Ervas and Veronica's oddity too!

I know that most Gods don't know about them…

But now, through me, they know them!

Oops?

No, not oops!

Now I feel terrible.

What have I done?

I might have just hastened all their challenges a bit…

Well, I have a ton of crazy powers that this world doesn't have, I have to use them to compensate for what I've done…

I will make sure to train them well, they still got a ton of room to grow.

What do I mean by training them if they are so strong?

Well, maybe teaching them would be a better word?

What will I teach to them that they don't already know?

Magic, of course! All of my special magic!

But how, you wonder?

How can I teach them the magic that they don't have an affinity with?

Well, I just heard that they could get power by eating souls… Divine Souls…

And I can regenerate my soul simply fine, even if it is bitten a few hundreds of times…

So guess what?

I am going to let them eat me!

Gross, right?

But it's necessary!

They gotta get strong, so it is a fitting punishment for me.

Although I am sure that I won't feel anything because I've gotten used to soul pain long ago.

But it's the least I could do for them.

And of course, I am going to try to help everyone else.

I have a lot of talents, and I am not bluffing or anything.

I can teach others too, although not through eating me.

And of course, I am going to go level up tomorrow morning at the nearest dungeon!

With Ervas and Veronica if possible.

Although if others decide to accompany me, I am fine with it.

I also kind of want to meet with everyone in here, to get used to the people and all.

I am sure I will find a lot of nice companions, as I have heard that the people here are nice and friendly.

…I hope.

As I have experimented before, my Charm, one of my greatest weapons in Genesis, doesn't work in here for some reason.

Perhaps becoming a summoned creature suppressed it, or perhaps it is sealed alongside other powers.

So I can only hope to find friendly people, as my charm, which often did most of it for me, is not present in this situation.

Oof, that's gonna be a bit hard…

Well, I just have to be nice like I always am.

…Right?

<Skill Explanations>

[Sin of Lust Fragment]

Kireina's main body in Genesis is the wielder of a special type of Power named Sin, and she possesses the Sin of Lust, which has made her the Realm Menace of Lust in there.

Her clone, because she poured a lot of juice on it, has inherited a tiny fragment of the sin with her.

Although it is exceedingly small, so she cannot do much with it for now.

However, it possesses levels, so she should be able to develop its power and make it grow.

Perhaps it will one day become a complete Sin?

Amongst the many abilities of the Sin of Lust, there is Charm, the power to manipulate emotions and minds, to enhance sexual libido (not allowed in this novel!), to enhance the user's allies, and more.

It is not a very battle-oriented Sin, but one that deals with emotions and bonds.

[Uroboros]

Kireina's main body in Genesis possesses this same Skill, but in Kritias, it has been heavily nerfed, however, its primary function remains.

This is an evolved form of Kireina's 'Devour' Skill, the power that she had to acquire Skills from whatever she ate, even weapons and stuff!

And when it evolved into Uroboros, it even let her devour herself into an endless cycle, letting her easily restore from any wounds, even in the soul.

The ability to acquire Skills from what she eats is not here anymore… But she can certainly draw power from the different species of beings she eats, although not in the form of Skills, sadly.

And the other function, that of devouring herself for an endless self-renewal remains too, making this Clone confident that she can let Ervas and Veronica eat her a bit and then regenerate back simply fine.

This Skill does not make the wielder immortal though, as if the soul takes too much damage, or receives some kind of damage or effect that lessens the regeneration, death awaits.

However, without those things, even if a tiny bit remains… it is possible to come back. Of course, this only applies if the reason explained before doesn't happen.
