Epic Of Caterpillar

Chapter 1261 - The Systemʼs Truth?!

Note: This Chapter was supposed to be chapter 1259 but I ended publishing it backwards. I think you can still understand the context, but Iʼm sorry, the next chapter continues the topic of chapter 1260, but reading this one is important too. Sorry for the problems.

Previously Astraea revealed to us the someone else behind the System, and it was rather interesting to think about, I guess the System was indeed made to control the world, but perhaps it was different? I remember hearing that the System Master himself had created it, but if it already existed… then he simply modified it to be like this.

So the System Master modified his own mother? And is the system all the body of his mother?

Wait, so the System is like a living being and all parts of it are all single living entity? Wow, this is getting weirder by the second.

Hold on, if I got my own System by copy pasting the already existing one, did I just cloned Astraeaʼs grandma?

I asked these questions.

”I-It could be said that the system and all the windows you see are indeed part of the body of my grandmother… And maybe? Kireina-samaʼs own System seems to be something more than a clone though, and because it is bound by your soul and not the Laws of a world, it has a greater potential…” said Astraea.

”Greater potential?” I asked.

”The System we are currently being assimilated into has stopped growing, it had reached the pinnacle now, as it had been assimilated by the worldʼs laws, there isnʼt much growth left to it, and it might begin to deteriorate slowly, bit by bit.” said Astraea.

”D-Deteriorate? The almighty System? I never thought I would hear such a thing, I thought it was all-powerful.” Said Agatheina.

”Certainly, it is powerful, but our grandmother is having her energy exhausted slowly, the rate in which she can absorb energy is small compared to the energy she must use to maintain the entire structure… In fact, Kireina-sama becoming second in command of the system after eating half of my father was a good thing, it might be a factor that will help her maintain herself some more.” said Astraea.

”Wait, really? I helped?” I asked.

”My father has been irresponsible and left all the work for us, we couldnʼt possibly do everything ourselves and he wasted a lot of the systemʼs energy on going outside of Genesis temporarily and expanding the system in other worlds to harvest them later… He abuses worlds that have an apocalypse, usually caused by the miasma spread across the Universe due to your fall, Kireina-sama, then he inserts a Clone into these worlds who spreads a System Seed, and well, everyone in that world gets a simplified System that helps them fight the apocalypse, which actually helps my father gather energy but… he doesnʼt give it to the main system here but greedily keeps it for himself or repurposes it into the planet heʼs investing this energy so it can grow a large and stronger world origin core so he can devour it… his methods are far-fetched and he had managed to do this twice, but countless lives were lost…” sighed Astraea.

”H-He… he has destroyed two worlds, with people on them?!” I asked.

”Yes…” sighed Astraea.

”Damn, I should take another bite from him now…” I said.

Everyone else around us were left shocked as well. We knew the System Master was scum, but now we know he was even scummiest than we thought.

He didnʼt even relocated the people or rescued them inside his divine realm, like I would had done on his situation, he just let them all agonizingly die as the entire planet had its core taken away…

I guess we supreme gods are already at the Planet Buster level of powers in Anime… but what we can do is still dangerous and uses a lot of energy, he had been wasting the energy of the System around doing stupid shit like this.

He stopped now because he will keep in Genesis for the moment, but I also heard from Ervas and Veronica that this idiot was messing around with them in Kritias and even helped their major enemy, Hekaton… all so they could leave alone another planet he was trying to take an advantage of, Kosmos, a planet that seems a lot like Greek Mythology but made into a gigantic world.

The split souls went there by a series of casualties and left clones there helping the people and the gods form the apocalypse, which is not something he wanted because he wants the people to fight by themselves… or some stupid bullshit like that.

Ugh, so infuriating. I should really slap him in the face for doing retarded shit to get a ”shortcut to power” and beat the Worldʼs Will… he had done it all wrong!

”I wouldnʼt recommend it, Kireina-sama, my father is still a pillar of this world, if you kill him, bad things might happen, as he is now, heʼs still stable, you even healed him, and he seems to not have disturbed the balance of the world…” said Astraea.

”And you donʼt want your father to suffer either, right?” I asked.

”My relationship with father is not complicated, but I do appreciate his existence.” She said

”Okay, I wonʼt hurt him to the point it might permanently leave him damaged. Is that good enough?” I asked.

”Yes, it is acceptable.” She said.

”Good… Now… Oi shithead! Where the fuck are you?! We got a lot of shit to talk to you right now, so come here immediately or I am going to grab your ass and teleport you here myself!” I roared, I made of those fierce words into a divine message and sent it directly to him.

”You sent him a direct message?!” asked Agatheina.

”T-This is a bit crazy, Kireina-sama…” sighed Astraea.

”Well yesterday he bowed to his power to become my pawn, so I might as well abuse of him and bring him here, I got some things I want to ask him. He messed with my friends after all.” I said.

”Some things… Oh you mean them… I know about them, Veronica and Ervas, the children of the Primordial too…” said Astraea.

”Yep… those ones.” I said.
