Epic Of Caterpillar Chapter 678

-----
After Gaia was finally 'reincarnated' with her memories back and a part of her original strength, she and Kireina joined a small tea party with the rest of the gods inside of Agatheina's Divine Realm, there were many questions that needed to be answered, and also many things that needed to be cleared.
However, one very important one surged not from Kireina… nor Agatheina, but from Levana.
"Excuse, Gaia-sama, but from what I've read and heard about you, wasn't Uranus your husband? How would he react if he were to know t-that you have a-a c-child with Kireina-sama…?" asked Levana.
"Ah… That. Well, if you had read about me… you must already know what fate befell Uranus, right?" asked Gaia.
"…From what I recall, Uranus was struck down by several other Gods and Great Gods, and his weakened body fell over the Abyss of Genesis, where he was 'assimilated' by aberrations and made mad… he was then sealed by his father, the Supreme God of Star Oceans, and part of him became the Astral Road…" said Levana.
Kireina seemed interested in this information, which she had not gotten completely before, the part where Uranus' parts were used to build the Astral Road was not within what she had heard. It seems that the information she had gotten once about Uranus was incomplete.
"Indeed… Although at first, I did not know about what happened to him after he was struck down and attacked by that accursed Demon Great God, I learned some more about it when I became Geie, and bought information in the Interdimensional Merchant Shop… I have had a long time to mourn for what had happened to him, and the chances of him being alive… or even to be himself are very dim… The Uranus I loved is most likely dead, and I have coped with it for many years. Now that I have been given a new opportunity to reincarnate thanks to Kireina-sama, I want to restart my life anew… I believe this is what he would have wanted…" said Gaia with a slight blush, as she glanced at Kireina's scarlet eyes.
"I-I see… S-Sorry if I came out quite abrupt…" apologized Levana.
"No worries, my child," said Gaia with an understanding and motherly smile.
"Gaia… From the memories I saw… Who were those Gods that were in the Ragnarök? I mean, the Great Gods. I remember there were a four-headed lion and that mass of shadows in the shape of beasts… And also that one with the chains… Who were they? And who did they serve?" asked Kireina.
"I don't know the identity of the Great God that chained me, and it seems that from the memories you got from Apollo, you also could not find out, is it?" asked Gaia, who had seen a large part of Kireina's memories when she was given a part of Kireina's soul.
Kireina had done this willingly because she wanted to let Gaia know most of what she knew, so there could be a better understanding between the two.
Kireina also felt a bit… bad for having seen all of her memories, especially those where she suffered so much, and wanted to create a bond of mutual trust by showing Gaia her memories as well, which included the memories of all the Gods she had eaten.

"No, he seems to be a complete mystery… But I would assume that he is a Great God with the Divinity of Sealing… Wait, could he be…? Could he be related to the sealing of Lazuli?" asked Kireina.
"Most likely, although it might not be the god himself, perhaps one of his subordinate Gods or a child of his own…" said Gaia.
"Hm..." muttered Kireina.
"And you saw my memories, didn't you? Wouldn't you know already who these Gods were?" asked Gaia.
"Indeed, I saw most of your memories, but not the entire details and information. After all, what I saw was not even all of your deepest memories and the knowledge you possess, but the overflowing memories that had the most emotions within your that began to flow out of your soul momentarily when I completely unsealed your mind. You should know that because you already saw my own memories, didn't you?" said Kireina with a sharp gaze.
"I see how it is. You only know about the four-headed lion… He is one of the children of the Supreme God of Space and Creation, I know that the four-headed lion body is but a façade, he is a trickster and a shapeshifter. His name is Barbas, and according to my mother, he is a being not born in Genesis … The one you describe as a mass of shadows that attacked Uranus is named Legion, he is another Demon Great God of otherworldly origins… Such Great Gods appeared within the Ragnarök and worked for specific factions… Those beings began to appear within our world when the Gates of Hell opened…" said Gaia.
The words that Gaia dropped made most of the Gods in awe, even Agatheina did not completely know about this information at all… All of the Gods present only knew of one otherworldly being in Kireina, whose soul came from another world… but now that they knew that in the past, the gates to 'another world' named 'Hell' appeared, where Demons began to spawn inside of Genesis… they could not help but remain silent as if paralyzed by such great revelation.
"Gaia… How do you know this?" asked Agatheina.
"It is normal knowledge for the daughter of a Supreme Goddess such as myself…" said Gaia with a proud demeanor.
"So… there was such an event? Someone opened a rift or portal to the Gates of Hell?! So even such a world exists in reality… Could it be a parallel world from Earth or… No, I should stop thinking about those things for now… Wait, Gaia, if Barbas is the child of the Supreme God of Space and Creation…" muttered Kireina.
"Indeed, that God is not from this world either. He is the one that brought the Demons from the Gates of Hell as well… If he still exists and governs this world alongside the other Supremes, the Gates of Hell must be still opened wide… But now that it has been hundreds or even thousands of years since then… There should be already an enormous amount of contamination and changes within the Realms that exist near this Infernal Gate… The amount of Miasma, contaminated Mana that emanated from the Gates of Hell were so strong that life would often instantly mutate… The 'new' Genesis of now was most likely greatly influenced by the Gates of Hell… Although the whereabouts of such places are unknown, they must be in a certain Realm… Perhaps in Helheim, or near it," said Gaia, dropping yet another amount of information of shocking proportions.

"This is… Are we fine by knowing such things?!" asked Marnet with desperation.
"Isn't this too much for us?" asked Maeralya.
"All f you are my allies, I trust you all. I don't see why I wouldn't reveal such information if it can help you in some way, shape, or form," said Gaia.
"Gaia, you should already know about my travel to another plane and what I experienced there. How can these otherworldly demons be completely fine in Genesis if their 'Origin' is not from here?" asked Kireina.
"Oh, that. Origins can be acquired within beings who are equal or stronger to Gods or Great Gods through worship and faith. The Supreme God of Space and Creation, however, is one of the strongest otherworldly beings, his power was enough for him to create his own Domain were to exist comfortably even within another world such as ours. He also possesses a strong Spatial Divinity, capable of trespassing most barriers and ignore Origin laws. He most likely influenced the people, mortals, to believe and pray to the Demons. The more you are given faith by mortals, the more 'real' you become in such a world, and the more accustomed you can become to it. If you are curious about where I got this information from, all of this information was given to me by my mother…" said Gaia.
"My mother was a Supreme Goddess, and her influence and power were behind the development of Genesis, such secrets were common sense for her, and the information she bestowed upon me and my siblings was so we wouldn't be as ignorant as the rest of the Gods and mortals," said Gaia.
"Those Demon Names also resonate within me, I remember them from Earth's mythology and religions… Barbas was one of the 72 demons of the Goetia, and there are also many other Demon names from other cultures… And now that I remember the other Demons brought by Redgaria on his rings… Marchosias, Abrahel, and many more… Do those Demons…?" asked Kireina.
"Indeed, Kireina-sama. That man, Redgaria, has the blessing of Hel, the Great Goddess of Death, whose power she stole from the True Spirit of Death, son of the World's Will. She is one of the Gods from our world who has made many pacts with the Demons from the Gates of Hell, such Demons are capable of granting power to the ones blessed by her. Redgaria channeled such powers into these artifacts he created, embodying their energy and powers into small wills and souls, which he called Demon Souls, is it not?" asked Gaia.
"Yeah… So that is how it is… So, those 'weak' demons that I ate so easily were simply a small, tiny manifestation of the actual Demons from the Gates of Hell? I still have vivid memories of Marchosias, Legion, and many others, and the powers they brought upon the wielders of their rings… However, because they feed into souls to bring power, they were double-edged weapons," muttered Kireina.
"I can also see through one of your recent Magic Skills, that Beelzebub has influenced this world enough for him to have created a whole lineage of monsters… The Dungeons that you recently conquered were most likely created by these Demons, or perhaps their vestigial children or subordinate Demons," said Gaia.
"I see… I wonder what the difference between these Demons and the Demon Gods from our world is?" asked Kireina.
"Hm, such Demon Gods like Begudhur or Megusan? Those are simply not Demons but are called Demons for convenience's sake. They are simply Gods from our world who were born as monsters. The Demons from the Gate of Hell are completely different beings, whose laws and power come from different sources and Origins… An exception could be the Supreme God of Space and Creation, who has managed to bring power from our world to the point that he has become both a Supreme God and also a Demon from the Gates of Hell… He is an outstandingly strong existence. I would not advise you to confront him any time soon, Kireina-sama," said Gaia.
"Haahh… Do not worry, I am not doing anything of the sort any time soon… There is still a lot to do in the Realm of Vida," said Kireina.
"This information is… outstanding! Kireina-sama, we are slowly unraveling the mysteries and secrets of our world, it seems!" said Agatheina.
"Indeed, I never imagined that Gaia would come with such a bit amount of precious information…" said Merveim.
"This is quite overwhelming… but we'll manage, as long as we sort things out," said Hodhyl.
"I barely understood anything that was spoken about…" said Kaggoth.
"It is… this information is very dangerous… what if someone knows that we know this?!" asked Nyzzet.
"There are still many things that we must know…" said Kireina.
"Indeed, please, ask away…" said Gaia as she sipped some tea.
"What is the name of your mother? Do you know more about her? And also about the other Supremes?" asked Kireina.
"My mother's name is Agatha. She was born as a true-blooded Titaness, and raise towards godhood after many hardships through the ancient Genesis. She became one of the first Titaness Goddess, and afterward, the first Supreme Goddess that was a Titaness… She seems to be still alive, although not present on this Realm, she is overserving it. I can feel her gaze atop the skies of the Realm," said Gaia.
"And about the rest… I am sorry to say this, but I have no clue of their names nor true origins. I believe that my mother knew, but never revealed this to us… It is quite funny that she told us about something so important as the Gates of Hell issue but not something as simple as the names of the other Supremes…" said Gaia.
"I see… so she still held some secrets that she didn't even reveal to her children…" said Kireina.
