Chapter 16 A Trauma From The Past
?Now, to true gods.
Juvenile True Gods had a hundred (100) believers, Young True Gods had a thousand (1 000) believers, High True Gods had ten thousand (10 000) believers, Genuine True Gods had a hundred thousand (100 000) believers and Perfect True Gods had a million (1 000 000) believers.
It was in the case of it being a hundred for Believers, and 10% that number for Followers. Believers were just like fans, while Followers had the True Gods bloodline within them. Thus making them stronger and more Unique.
That aside, Enigma looked at the system and asked "Why am I their father? Why are they calling me father? I'm only fifteen years old. This... is illogical."
"...Isn't it obvious?"
"No no no, isn't it strange?" The system replied after a pause, as it found nothing wrong with hatchlings calling the person who hatched them father. Wasn't that obvious.
And who the hell did he think he was, to even begin entertaining the thought that everything was illogical? You are ILLOGICAL!!!
But Enigms didn't even hesitate to refute the system. And his retort wasn't on the fact that they called him father. He hatched them, of course they'd call him father. He fell for Kaguya and the system's tricks.
But that wasn't the problem here. Instead the problem lay in a much more pressing topic. "I mean, there are three strangers I met here, and I'm given three eggs. Whereby each hatchling looks different from one another and similar to the three..."
"...."
The system seemed to be catching on to something and decided silence was the best choice here. No, it definitely was.
This was a problem for him. Possibly a future trauma for the boy, but the system could do nothing about it if his thoughts were the ones twisted.
"...If you think about it carefully, aren't those two old men... a bit too unique?" He said as he looked at the small beast and bird, still very unsure of himself.
The reason he held the bunny in his hand and not the other two, was because he was still debating whether he should acknowledge them as his children as well or not.
"...Didn't Kaguya tell you to tell 'them' that she was their mother?"
"I have an idea." He ignored the system attempt, and decided to end the problem there and just accept the two pets as his as well.
As for who their mothers were, he'd find an answer along the way in the future. Kaguya only said that the egg thar contained Jade, was her daughter. Not the other two. Yet, they were all sort of triplets.
Perhaps he could pin it on the fiancee, if Hestia was serious about it being true, that is. Just as he accepted them as his pets, or rather children, the white space finally shattered into fragments.

At the same time, within a Blank Domain
A beauty floated silently.
She seemed lost, yet at the same time happy, and also sad. She was reminiscing about the past. The past that she knew, and grew to up in.
Her thoughts travelled back to a World that was ruled by a gigantic tree that stood tall and above everyone. A tree that was the source of basically the source of all things.
This Tree contained everything that existed, within this place, it could be even said to be the beginning of Existence, and the container of all Existence.
All types of Worlds could be found within the tree, all types of Universes, Realities and many more. It was a concept of its own, that contained all known, and unknown concepts to Existence.
Becoming Creation itself.
Yet at the same time, it was the first to he born, and was never even born, as theoretically, it was always just there. And will always be here.
Thus it was probably beyond even Creation. free𝒘ℯ𝗯𝙣𝗼ν𝑒𝗹.𝒄o𝒎
Such a Tree was contained within her own World, a place considered unique to herself, a Void, a Void of Totality, if one might even say. For the Tree had seeds that sprouted out to individuals Creations of their own.
Hence the Mother Tree became the Void of Totality, becoming everything that was within, and beyond its influence.
Something that contained the entire structure of one's whole Totality, to Creation and beyond, to something Primordial and beyond. That... was what the Mother Tree was.
And in her case, it was her World, and this World was quite unique.
And to top it all off, she was a being who ate the tallest and most ripe fruit of the Mother Tree, the first fruit to ever be born in the tree, from before even the Creation were born.
Before even Existence descended.
A Pre-Existential fruit.
She ate it all, and miraculously, survived. Or rather, the fruit was not that dangerous, as a mortal such as herself, was able to act defiant, and eat such a fruit.
Yet lived to tell the tale.
In fact, either than just living, she becane Transcendent, as she became something, or someone that stood above even the Mother Tree itself.
The Tree that bore the fruit itself, was transcended by a mortal, who ate its own fruit. It was all ironical, yet true at the same time.
Kaguya, the Rabbit Goddess of the Bamboo World, a Transcendent Pre-Existential being, who was above multiple, if not an infinite number of Creations.
That was who she was.
A Queen who ruled over vast lands, and could almost, almost be considered Omnipresent, Omniscient and likewise, almost Omnipotent.
She was Nigh-Omni.
Yet that was still amazing.
"Yet, even with such power, I could never fathom the greatness of the Apocalypse that befell me." The beauty sighed as she stared at the void, going back to that point in time.

A young Kaguya, who seemed no different from the current Kaguya was floating above numerous Creations, which were overshadowed by the Primordial Bamboo Tree.
And she herself, was countless times stronger than the current Primordial Bamboo Tree, thus making her way stronger than the comprehension of even Gods and Deities, Creators and Ancients.
Not even Supremes and even Creators could fathom the level of power she held, for even she, was yet not sure what her limits were.
At this level of power, she could travel to other Totality, and even, to a slight effect, interact with the people there. A Totality contained countless Creations within.
Thus the Primordial Bamboo Tree was a Totality by itself, while she was countless times above that. So, now you understand to what extent the young Kaguya's power could affect.
But unfortunately, on this unfortunate day, she came across a being that seemed like a gem, or a parasite of sort. It's body was gigantic, being larger than the Primordial Bamboo Tree by countless times.
It was slimy, and resembled a cell of sorts.
And as she saw such a thing, which oozed out presence she never knew could be let out, she wanted to run away, but she froze in fright.
Yes. The young Kaguya felt fright, for the first time, in a very, very long time.
The feeling was distasteful, yet it was subconscious. Even a being of her level, who was probably above basically Existence itself, was made to feel fear.
"What... What are you?" The young Kaguya inquired slightly, as she tried to pull back, but realized that she could barely move an inch at all.
She was terrified even more.
"Guuu~"
The entity that was responsible for all of this just seemed to stare at her with nothing but curiosity. It did not have an animosity, nor malovence towards her.
Yet she was already about to lose control of her body, and almost do the most shameful thing a being at her level could do.
Wet herself.
No. She genuinely felt like, if this continued for any longer, she would wet herself, then cry, in tears and snots, and start begging. It was just a feeling.
But the feeling was subtle, yet it felt absolute. She truly felt like that would happen, because her heart could not bare the pressure. Even if she threw away all emotions, she was still affected.
"I... I... I..."
She was stumped.
As she did not know what to say, nor did she know what not to say. Luckily for her, the entity did not give her anytime to think about any longer, as it jiggled.
Yes, it jiggled its body, and sent out powerful ripples throughout the complex Void she was in, as it instantly began to shatter, and became eaten at an instantaneous rate.
One had to know, a single Creation was immeasurable light years vast, then there were countless of them within a single Totality, and the complex Void she was at, was likewise countless times vaster than her Totality.
Yet even such boundless distance, was instantaneously swallowed by the ripples released by this disgusting fellow. Instantly broken down upon contact.
"...!!!"
This was something the young Kaguya had never seen, an action, a show of power that even someone of her level, had to dread as well.
It was just not fair!!!
...!!!
