Chapter 1012 Chaos

"I see, so that's what happened." Alice nodded.

I ended explaining my familiars what I saw, as I mediated inside of my Soul Scape, trying to refine my Magic Circle and add more Runes to expand upon my magical abilities.

"Seems like it was quite the ordeal." Nephilim said. "But it seems to be quite content, the cocoon is no longer making loud noises anymore... It must be happy, somehow."

"I-I hope so..." I sighed. "I am not sure what to even say or think anymore, that was quite something... For sure, I need a break."

"You were perhaps dragged inside the cocoon's own soul scape then." Alice nodded. "Quite an amusing thing to happen, that little child is very strong if it could do that..."

"I don't understand half of what happened, but I think you helped the thing get stronger or something? Fine by me." Ignatius shrugged. "Now, who's next in the evolutions? Me, right?"

"I haven't gotten your materials yet! Don't be so impatient, you..." I sighed, grabbing his fat tail. "Naturia got an easy evolution thanks to Yggdra, but that's not going to happen a second time as easily... I guess Scarlet and Sapphire could evolve quickly though, but I want better materials for them first."

"We'll be patient, master." Scarlet also appeared inside my soul scape.

"Yeah, I don't mind, as long as she doesn't get the evolution first, I'm fine with that!" Sapphire floated in midair.

"Huh? And what if I get it first anyways? What are you going to do about it?" Scarlet taunted.

"Y-You damn old metal stick!" Sapphire grew pissed off.

"Enough, enough." I sighed. "Don't fight! We're chilling here, right?"

"Hahaha, well, I guess so." Yggdra's spirit also appeared here. "What you talked about reminded me of the time I created Naturia... You must have created this child like this, you're the child's mother, Master!"

"E-Eh? I'm their mom? Ah... Well, they did call me "mama" after all but, still... It is a bit unnerving to think I've suddenly become a mother at my age!" I complained.

"As if that were to matter, it still going to take some time before hatching." Beelzebub analyzed the cocoon.

"Hmmm, he's not wrong." Curse nodded. "I've analyzed this cocoon many times. It seems to also be related with the Cultivation and growth of your Soul. This might be something your parents haven't told you about... Maybe they don't know either, the path to develop and evolve a mortal's soul..."

"I mean, they MUST know something, right? In the last battle against Arachne, I remember they were able to unleash the power of their Souls." I explained. "And they were very strong..."

"What is it?" I asked him. "You're staring at it way too much..."

"Hm, it's odd. I feel like this child must be connected to the Curse..." He said. "Well, the Curse itself fused with your Soul after all, you modified it so it wouldn't consume it, and it evolved into a power. And now, that power, within your soul, is Evolving at the same time as this child. And me... I am connected with the kid too, somehow."

"Like siblings?" I asked him.

"SIGH... I suppose, maybe, that's an okay way to say it... Urgh." He clearly looked pissed off with his single red eye.

"Do you have some sort of clues?" I asked him.

"..." He kept glancing at the cocoon. "It possess the essence I lost when you absorbed me."

"You lost some Essence?!" I asked.

"It was a very important one, the strongest Demonic Soul Fragment of my creator..." Curse sighed. "It didn't contain his personality or anything, but it contained the Sealed Techniques he evolved, capable of slaying Gods, if developed enough..."

"W-What...?" I felt confused the more he explained.

"I've regained some of the memories of my Creator." Curse dropped the bomb. "And I've finally remembered my purpose too, it wasn't just to kill the heroes, as you've speculated before. I am a special Curse, one that would stack on power for thousands of years, eons of lives I've parasite and absorbed their energies from... Made exclusively to kill the Gods, and that power, has already blossomed within you when you damaged the Evil God of Darkness and then Lolth."

"That's... I see..." I muttered. "I did have that idea but... It still quite shocking, yeah."

"Let me continue." Curse sighed. "What I'm trying to say is that this child... Might be what could let you both advance your Soul Cultivation to the next stage and also to develop this power that allowed you to damage Gods! To bypass their mighty barriers and devour their very essence... Heh, pretty amazing, isn't it? This kid... it's going to bring utter destruction to all those bastards! What better name than Chaos?"

"Chaos..." I looked into the cocoon, realizing what I've been creating inside of my soul this entire time.

All those demonic souls and true demon powers, which are so opposite to the gods. And if based on Nephilim's memories, must be their mortal enemies!

This is... the entity that will help me expand these powers even further.

Chaos!

...

"I don't know about that name though, it is a bit... Too on the nose, you know?" I asked, feeling a bit odd about it.

"Ugh, can't you just be serious for a minute, dammit?!" Curse cursed the heavens. "...Also the name is cool! It's my sibling so I get to choose the name!"
