FLASH!

A beautiful and enormous white jewel emerged out of all the radiant light and energy condensed in front of me… it exuded an enormous aura of power and mystical energy, this was without a doubt, the Realm Core!

It was around… 20 meters big, or a bit more, and it exuded such a radiant brilliance and shockwaves of power all around that it really reminded me of the Origin Core Fragment I ate…

[T-There it is, Master!]

Andromeda emerged at my side through the manifestation of the system, resembling her usual appearance but made holographic… releasing beautiful and bright neon colors, she looked directly out of a sci-fi anime.

”I can see it… So this is the glorious Realm Core… Am I the first one at making one?” I asked.

[Certainly, you are, Master! After all, you were the one that even discovered this function first… Not even the System Master has made one… According to the information from my parents, he has been spending a long-time nurturing world to harvest Origin Cores from them instead of making low-quality Realm Cores… Although can this even be called Low Quality? This is amazing… It is way better than expected! Could it be because you added your soul and flesh in large quantities? Masterʼs entire existence is so amazingly glorious!]

”I-I think it is because of that, but donʼt praise me so much, Andromeda… I am not all of that, I am a mere ant compared to the great scheme of things,” I sighed.

[B-But for me… you are someone amazing, Master…!]

”Ah… youʼre such a sweet girl, Andromeda, alright, alright, I am special, okay… Happy?” I asked her while caressing her face.

[Yeah! You better be proud of yourself!]

Andromeda materialized as she hugged and kissed me a bit… I give her love every day but sheʼs always a clingy and cute girl.

”Calm down, we can do more lovely things later, now letʼs concentrate on this,” I said, giving her a last kiss on her lips.

[R-Right! Now, I have to fuse with it, Master!]

”Fuse?!” I asked.

[Indeed, and you too! I will fuse a part of myself with the Realm Core, which must already be connected to the Lower Realm and the area you govern, while you will fuse your soul into it. Instead of eating it, you must fuse with it!]

”Fuse it… like when I did with Yggdrasil?” I asked.

[Yep! You got it right! Like that time!]

”Sounds easy, I assume there wonʼt be any universal tree coming here to annoy me, right?” I chuckled.

[Eh?! No… I donʼt think so…]

”Relax, it was a little joke… Now, letʼs get to it!”

Both of us flew into the brilliant Realm Core, however, something went wrong!

FLAAASH!

[Eh?! W-What?!]

”What is happening?”

The Realm Core began to release powerful shockwaves against us, throwing us away!

What… power is this? Itʼs enormous!

The Realm Core begins to glow brightly, as it suddenly starts to manipulate the laws around itself to gain power, forming enormous tentacles made of bright light and throwing them at us, the tips were sharp like spears!

[W-Why is it attacking us? It doesnʼt make any sense- Eh?!]

”Watch out!”

I quickly expand my Divine Aura around me, exuding a large amount of power, as I shield Andromeda!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

I manage to shield us from the powerful Law-infused attacks as I create a shield using the Law and System Path Jewel using these very laws!

[T-This… Why is it attacking us? I donʼt get it…]

”I will handle it, Andromeda, turn back into the system for now!” I said.

[But master… you used so much Divine Energy! W-Will you be able to fight? This entityʼs power is… Great Deity if not more!]

”Donʼt worry about me and get quickly inside the system!”

[Ah! Y-Yes!]

FLASH!

Suddenly, a gigantic beam of Law-infused divine energy reaches me!

CLAAAASH!

Andromeda quickly went back to my System inside my soul, as I glared back at the beam.

”Monarch of Gluttony!”

FLAAASH!

Expanding my entire body into flesh, I infuse myself with the Monarch of Gluttony Path Jewel Ability and the Nature and Life one, coupled with the Law and System Path Jewels as well!

Thought this way, I transform into a giantess made of wood, covered by nature, and permeated with barriers of law and gluttony!

The beam is quickly devoured by me, but I see as my Divine Energy begins to become lesser rather than recover!

What… this thing is… absorbing my Divine Energy?

I glance at the Realm Core as I heard cracking laughter!

What is happening?!

”Hahaha! HAHAHAHA! Did you really think I would let you do as you please, Kireina? Oh, you and that stupid little program really thought that you would be given such an amazing power! Right?”

”That voice…” I muttered.

The Realm Core begins to glow eerily as from within its silky white aura, the figure of a humanoid made of bright white light emerges…

Oh, so it was this bastard…

”Yo, did you missed me?” he asked.

”The last time we met I bit you up a little bit, maybe I should finish off my meal?” I asked.

”Hah! Youʼve gotten bolder, you little caterpillar…”

Suddenly, Andromeda speaks to me.

[M-Master I am so sorry! T-This System Function was actually a plug-in that led to the actual System! As you know, you are still connected to the real system of Genesis… somehow, this function activated a bridge into it, and it ended bringing this program, which ended being… t-the System Master?! I am trying to use all the Anti-virus I can, but heʼs very strong, and possess countless anti-anti-malware shields! It is like a super virus…!]

”So thatʼs how it is… It was our mistake, I suppose we got too happy over it to realize that it was something suspicious… Make sure that this doesnʼt happen again, okay?” I sighed.

[O-Of course! I will make sure to inspect a billion times a program whenever I find it! And sorry again…]

”Itʼs fine my dear, for now, use your power and mine to fight against it, I will kill him from the outside,” I said.

[Yes!]

”Oh? The little program has told you what happened? For being my granddaughter, sheʼs really incompetent…” said the System Master.

I glanced at the System Masterʼs eyes, my giant form didnʼt even intimidate him.

”Whatʼs your endgame? What are you even planning by doing this?” I asked.

The System Master waved his head as he smiled, there wasnʼt anything else on his white face other than a shit-eating grin.

”I have come here to greet you! How long has it been since we spoke directly? Youʼre giving me a bunch of headaches! I might as well use your own power against you and get you killed, thanks for the 50 million divine energy by the way, oh, and your soul and flesh! All of that juicy power is boosting this one clone of me to the skies! Youʼre really a formidable being… but that will last up until now, I will kill you and then I will-”

FLASH!

I quickly activated the Dao of Transformation, converting part of my attribute particles into Chaos, and then a split of a second after, I changed my appearance into a monstrous demoness!

A quarter of a second after, I reached the Realm Core and extended my gigantic claws and tentacles covered by chaotic armor, the power of chaos overflowing until the very brim of my existence.

The System Masterʼs speed was almost the same as mine, as he realized I got closer and he gritted his teeth, generating a powerful Law Barrier!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

My claws began to grind the barrier like giant blazing meteors made of abyssal darkness!

”Nnngh…! W-What with that power? Y-You should be weakened after all that divine energy you lost!” said the System Master.

”Hah… You donʼt know shit about me anymore!” I laughed, as I charged my entire body with gluttony and fused it with my chaos, becoming an exert-expanding mass of pure chaos, as a crimson-red eye emerged within this chaos!

”Know the might of the child of chaos, the one you once tried to seal, System Master!” I roared, as his stupid shit-eating grin transformed into desperation!

”W-What?!”

BOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!

His entire power began to flow outside of the Realm Core, as he shaped himself as a giant made of white light, punching me back!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Each of his punches was deadly, it felt like a part of my existence was deleted! He was most likely using the Disintegration power within the Law Attribute!

”W-Who do you think you are to defy meeeee?! You were a mere chess piece! Do you dare think you stand a chance against me?! You piece of garbageeee!”

Suddenly, the jester-like System Master loses all of his cool and becomes an angered teen!

Of course, each disintegration quickly recovers as my chaos is ever-expanding and self-devouring!

”Oh yes, I love that expression! Cry some more, you imbecile!” I roared, as I quickly generated countless fists that began to rain like a chaotic meteor of pure darkness!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Of course, how was I even getting this much divine energy?

Easy, I had a pile of Divine Crystals just for emergencies, also, I have the Divine Stockpile that helps me convert stockpiled energy into divine energy, and to boot, my entire family and allies are infusing their divine energy into me as well!

Each of my fists leaves giant holes over the System Masterʼs clone, as I keep infecting him with my deadly miasma!

”Unnngghhh…! H-How?! I was supposed to kill you here!” cried the System Master.

BOOM!

I gave him a nice jab right into his chin, as I literally blow his head off and devour it!

CLASH!

”GGGRRRYYAAAAAGGH…!”

Another face quickly emerges in the middle of his chest, as he harbors more Law Attribute power, gritting his teeth in anger against me!

”What? Surprised? Did you think you just had me there? That I was a goner? Come on…” I laughed, as I generated more fists and tentacles, overwhelming the brilliant light of the System Master!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

I had my own methods of disintegration that were not my Law Attribute, it was the power of Chaos and Gluttony! Just like my beautiful Scarlet, I can devour things in front of me and make them disappear!

And thatʼs… what I am exactly doing with this little bastard here!

”T-This is impossibleeeee!” cried the System Master, as he approached his fist and tried to hit me hard, but…

CRUNCH!

With a single wave of my chaos, it was gone!

”G-GYEEEH?!”

”Oh damn, you squeal like a pig! Even my wives moans are stronger than whatever that sound was!” I laughed.

”What kind of stupid analogy is that, you filthy and degenerate chaos entity?! You are a mere tool! Why do you dare… fight back?! And what is this… power… Y-You… Ah! A-A TRAIT?!” he asked, suddenly realizing that m entire being was being encompassed by the power of Defiance, to defy destiny, to defy the heavens!

”It is so sad that youʼre a mere clone, it would feel so nice to actually devour the real one! But that will do for now... Thank you for the powerups, Mysterious Voice~!”

My darkness and chaos began to rush like gigantic fists, meteors of chaotic darkness that constantly fell over the System Master, crushing him into the ground as his avatar made of pure power began to simply be devoured one by one!

”Y-You monster…! You fucking monsterrr…! W-What… what have I brought to this world?! Y-Youuu! This is not the last you will see of meeeee!” cried the System Master, fighting back with his light, but is ultimately overwhelmed by my darkness!

BOOM!

I infected the Realm Core with my miasma as I continued to absorb the consciousness within it.

Meanwhile, Andromeda was fighting back against him with all her system powers!

”Nnnggh…! W-What? I thought you were a mere program! How are you this strong!?” asked the System Master, glaring at Andromeda as she multiplied thousands, no, millions of times through the cybernetic landscape within the system! His entire body was already beaten up, his avatar was barely standing!

”We had stopped being a mere program, grandfather!”

”We are more than that…”

”We are a soul!”

”And we had developed feelings, such as love, and passion!”

”I represent my parents… because they feel the same!”

”Eh?! What kind of insanity are you spitting?!” asked the System Master in disbelief.

”This is not insanity, these are feelings that make us feel alive, things that a being despicable as you would never understand!”

Andromedaʼs army of clones of herself rushed through the cybernetic landscape, overwhelming the System Master with endless barrages of punches!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

”NNNGGRRRAAAGGGH…! STOP! WE CAN TALK THIS OUUUTTT…! LET ME…!”

”Thereʼs no talking! You are getting the heck out of here!” roared the millions of Andromedas, as they continued to blow their grandfather away with fists, crushing him into shattered pieces and then… devouring him!

”T-This… I wonʼt… give up until I see you all die!”

Crack… crack!

CRASH!

Ding!

[You have created the [Realm Core]!]

[You have bound with the [Realm Core]!]

It was done…
