Chapter 984: Daughters! 4
"...Victor, now that Sasha mentioned it, what are her Powers?" Anna asked.
Victor promptly responded honestly. "As an Outer God, she was born with the Concepts of Space, Intangibility, and Nullity, with the possibility of future growth. Thanks to my Essence, she has the potential to go further, not to mention that these Concepts are not tied to this Creation but rather to something completely different from our Reality. After all, as her own Title states, she is an Outer God, an Outsider, something created outside of this Cosmos and 'Chaos.'"
Another silence fell around, a rather uncomfortable silence. Everyone looked at the little girl with various looks of concern, caution, and pure disbelief.
The fact that she wielded Concepts outside of this Cosmology meant that she had no predefined limit. Her limit was where her existence could endure... She was definitely an Eldritch God.
"...Again, this leads to the initial question... How the hell is this girl's Mother imprisoned? None of this makes any sense." Ruby felt a headache coming on thinking about this issue.
She wasn't an Outer God like her Husband or even a specialist in this matter, but from all the information she had gathered so far, the simple fact of Azathoth being imprisoned made no sense at all.
No one knew how to answer Ruby's question, not even Azathoth herself, who was listening to the discussion. It was quite interesting to learn that even in this Lower Sector, there were stories about her, which was not uncommon considering that even in the Higher Levels, there were stories about her, many of them being wrong as they portrayed her as a Beast of The End or a beast without reason.
Returning to the question of her imprisonment, seeing how incredulous they were about why she was imprisoned and still remained so despite being so strong, motivated her to test this theory.
Now that she was 'mature,' could she leave? This thought crossed her mind. Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
Using her entire massive body in all its Power in an attempt to break free from her Prison, she saw a crack appear in the Space around her, but soon, this crack was swiftly repaired.
She used more of her Powers, but the Space remained undisturbed, as did her Prison. It was obvious that the Primordials had further reinforced her Prison.
This demonstration led to immediate understanding. "I have not matured as much as I thought... My existence has not become fully mature..."
At first, she didn't accept this, but soon she understood why she didn't accept it. By gaining 'awareness' of who she was and what she wanted, she essentially underwent a spiritual change. She transitioned from the state of a child to that of an adult, but her body and existence were completely different.
Outer Gods, in their growth phase, needed Energy to grow. That's why she consumed everything around her while she was loose.
Thanks to the planet she consumed with all those High-Level Gods, she transitioned from a state of an Eldritch baby to that of an Eldritch child. If she had spent more time consuming Creation, she could have reached the teenage state, thus achieving the mature phase where all her Powers would be at their peak.
But this process was interrupted, and she was imprisoned in this place, forced to eat scraps of this Prison. The Concept of Infinity and The End was not as nourishing as Creation itself, which was made of pure Energy, especially the stars and the black holes.
'Well, she's a newborn baby who is even weaker than I was when I was a baby,' Azathoth thought. In comparative terms, her Daughter didn't even have 1% of her size and Power when she was a baby.
Her Daughter didn't even have her True Form yet... But despite all these shortcomings, she was still an Outer God whose very existence distorted everything around her, and that alone was too dangerous for weaker Beings.
"What you're seeing happening here is just her passive abilities reacting to her surroundings. She doesn't even have the main characteristic of Outer Gods, which is the sheer madness others feel when observing them yet." Victor added.

If a weak Mortal were to touch Yog now, they would simply lose their life due to the girl's passive abilities reacting to her surroundings.
"Still... It's very dangerous to leave her unattended. It would be even better if her Powers were sealed and could only be used when you're around, Darling," Scathach, who had been silent, commented.
"The ability to manipulate what is unreal is very dangerous for a child. I can very well see the situation where she watches an anime that my Daughters will definitely introduce her to, and the next moment, she starts bringing characters from the anime or even anime items into Reality."
Scathach's explanation made Ruby herself feel an invisible arrow piercing her body, as did several girls who liked movies, books, and anime, opening their eyes widely.
They could do that, too!
"Hehehehehe~," Pepper began to drool as she imagined herself interacting with a Lightsaber or unique items that only existed in anime and movies. Since they were 'unreal' objects, such things couldn't be created in Reality, even with her ability of Draconic Runes, abilities that might seem powerful, but only to the most talented members like Anna, Victor, or Scathach. For those who had never touched Runes before, it was quite complex to replicate the effects that the three could casually do. Not that they couldn't become more powerful. They definitely could Master this Art and become as good as the three mentioned, but even that took time.
So... Even if she wanted to, Pepper couldn't summon a Gundam. She needed to wait for Velnorah to build it or become proficient in Draconic Runes to try to do the same. And even if she were proficient, it would be a trial-and-error process. After all, she was trying to turn the unreal into Reality.
But with Yog – A.k.a her new best little sister/daughter – she could make her dreams come true! All she needed to do was show her a Gundam and the Eldritch God would work her magic!
As she lost herself in her thoughts, which could clearly be observed by everyone present due to the animated expressions she was making, Scathach approached like a silent predator behind her Daughter and...
Slap!
"Ughh! My Head!"
