I asked a question Iʼve always wondered. As I was doing a bargain with Shub-Niggurath herself, I couldnʼt help but ask her… why? Why do I get these accursed Outer Godʼs names in my Skills?

”Youʼre an interesting specimen. These ”Skills” are concepts that donʼt exist within our vocabulary, but I already know what you mean. The answer is simple, the System you have is shaping yourself accordingly to your body and soul mutations. That you gain our names means that youʼre gaining a piece of our fundamental origins by merely developing. To be expected of the Children of Chaos.” She said.

She had said something interesting; the System is based in the mutation of my body and soul that their names show up means that my very essence is being shaped by the fundamental origins of their power? and I just get them by just developing? Huh… Alright.

”I see… Now answer me this… What are you Outer Gods up to?” I asked.

”Nothing big…” she said.

”What are you doing with the Universe?” I asked once more.

”Nothing, only existing.” She said.

”What are you planning?” I asked.

”Many things.” She said.

”Be more clear…” I said.

”I am being as clear as I can be, but as you can see, I am pitch black.” She said.

”Cocky…” I sighed.

”Hmm… Fufuf…” she giggled.

She was creepy indeed. It felt like speaking with a creepy woman that was somewhat obsessed with you. Wait, thatʼs it… sheʼs rally obsessed with my flesh...

I donʼt know what else to ask… She seems to evade all the big questions…

”How can I kill you?” I asked.

”Oh! I didnʼt expect that! You want to kill me?” she asked.

”Maybe.” I said.

”Fufu, you must come to the Outer Void, where I live… In there, you can fight me if you want to, or not.” She said.

”Whatʼs the Outer Void?” I asked while raising an eyebrow.

”Youʼve already gone there; donʼt you have the Voidspace Hopping Spell?” she asked.

”Ah…!”

I suddenly realize that through that spell, I was able to traverse large quantities of space, ignoring the barriers made of Dao Energy by Agatha back then… through such a method, I was able to pierce through her barrier and reach her directly.

”So that wasnʼt just the middle of space.” I said.

”Nope! Actually, you surprised all of us, you went there several times… It was surprising.” She said.

”Then I could go visit you personally if I wanted…” I said.

”Well yes but I donʼt recommend it, the Outer Void is a dangerous place… And well, let me tell you something else… the origins- Ah, but I am hungry.” She said.

”Fine…”

I gave her more flesh and soul, and after gobbling it, she continued.

”The origins of that place, the Outer Void… well, the Outer Void is a massive area around the Universe resemble a black river of Primordial Void Essence… it makes the Border of this Universe and works like an island within the Sea of Emptiness where all Universes float over.” She said.

”…I see. Thatʼs some interesting cosmology.” I said.

”Oh, you didnʼt knew that? I see…” she said.

”The Outer Void was born from the Shadow of Azathoth himself! Thatʼs where all the Outer Gods True Bodies reside… Waiting for the moment to… well, you know? Manifest ourselves in the Universe and what not.” She said.

”You want to do that? Is that your ultimate plan? You want to… wait, you want to invade this Universe!” I said.

”Oho! Youʼre a good detective, Kireina! 100 Points to you! Maybe! Or maybe not?! Hahaha!” laughed Shub-Niggurath. Her personality sometimes switched from a mature woman and other times she became as playful as a little girl. She was very hard to decipher, as if she had multiple selves, multiple… personalities.

”Youʼve gotten oddly childish now, do you enjoy speaking nonsense with me?” I sighed.

”I do! Itʼs fun… It appears that my multiple definitions of selves are reacting positively to you and your snacks.” She said. She spoke like a child and then suddenly, her voice became serious.

Maybe I am actually taming her with my flesh and soul? If they react positively in unison… it most likely means that theyʼre all liking me or something. Would be cool to tame such an entity, but I canʼt have such hopes for now.

So technically, theyʼre plotting something, these bastards… I bet theyʼre trying to do something with Lucifer too, why not? They seem shady enough!

”What is your goal with all of this plotting against the Universe?” I asked.

”Many… One of them might be… vengeance.” She said.

”Vengeance? What did the Universe even do to you?!” I asked.

”I donʼt know…” she said.

”…”

”…”

I was getting frustrated with her sometimes skipping my questions with stupid answers. Youʼre a fucking Outer God, of course you know! You fucking bitch when I grow strong enough I am going to fucking strangle her!

”Tell me more about Planes… What about the Chaotic Plane? Is it related to the Outer void?” I asked.

”Yes, and no… the Chaotic Plane is a breach into the Chaotic Sea, another Sea within the Cosmos… Chaos dwells within, this is the Primordial Chaos Pool where all Chaos Primordial are said to drain their Fundamental Origin.” She said.

”So… My mother comes from it? wasnʼt she born from the Chaos Fruit that the Tree of the Universe made?” I asked.

”Yeah, itʼs not the same.” She said.

”…Whatʼs Fundamental Origin?” I asked.

”Something for high levels, youʼre too low to know~” she said.

”You told me all of that and youʼre not telling me this?” I asked.

”Knowing or not knowing wonʼt change a thing.” She said.

”…Youʼre very confident over this…” I sighed.

”You too… Now, time for a snack once more!” she said.

”No. I am not giving you any more snacks until you answer three more questions.” I said.

”You dare force me?” she asked.

”Yes.” I said.

”…Fine.” She sighed.

I had successfully convinced her through sheer will.
