The God of Chaos, Loki, noticed that something had happened.
When he was sitting over the branch of the world, he hadn’t sensed anything , but suddenly, he felt it now that he was back inside of his divine realm.
It felt strange, was something messing around with her protected children?
The God of Chaos had put his Divine Protection in a few entities he had created indirectly through a Seed of Chaos.
He had been overseeing them for a while until he got bored and went to rest inside of his divine realm, but when he least expected it, one of the least developed but deadliest of them all was suddenly doing something odd.
It was interacting with another divine protection wielder! And who could it be this time? It was actually nobody else but Maria, the woman divine protected by her daughter!
Oh, well, he wasn’t so surprised after learning this. He always held Maria in high regard. She was a very strange entity, a ghost that kept her consciousness and part of her rationality to an extent and even acted as a mildly insane human. She was insane sometimes, but other times she acted very much like an average person.
Well, to be honest, Loki only thought of her as insane when she went ham against those that had done terrible things to innocent people or that had somehow been involved with her family when she was alive.
The mysterious God of Chaos looked down into what was happening as he saw the little spider girl happily play around with a cute little phantasmal, purple-colored snake, which began doing all sorts of jumps, acrobatics, and pirouettes to entertain her.
“Is this… Oh right, she’s a Gorgon… So she can create small clones of her own soul in the form of snakes… I see. So she’s having fun with the little child… Interesting, I never thought this would happen. I thought she would either run away or fight against her and die hopelessly, but this… Hm, I might have underestimated her more than I thought.” Said the God of Chaos with a smile while raising an eyebrow in surprise.
This little spider girl… despite her adorable appearance, was a Living Catastrophe, a being born from Chaos, a Seed of Chaos. It had many names, but nonetheless, she was a being destined to bring destruction, challenges, and change.
It was something that Chaos would have to do eventually. It was the duty of the God of Chaos, after all, to not let things stagnate. Challenges, danger, and more were necessary, and also, to thin out the population of mortals to an extent.
Of course, many Gods were very attached to their mortals, so they disliked what Loki did, even though it was his duty as a God of Chaos, but they couldn’t do much against his will because he was a pillar of the world the same as they were.
But lately, the God of Light had become more and more annoying, trying to make other gods think like him while forcing the smaller ones to join his forces. For some reason, he had been acting too selfish due to having grown overly attached to humans. He was growing addicted to their prayers and the power he was getting from them.
And because he was gaining more and more power from them, he had grown more arrogant, and with arrogancy came foolishness, ignorance, and stupidity, so he began to try to get involved in other gods’ affairs.
But would you blame him? Gods were beings above all creation. Their power was unparalleled with one another, and so they grew bored of creation and everything and wanted things to change for them too.
The God of Chaos only destroyed the stagnation of mortals, not of gods, and therefore, everything was dull. Therefore, the God of Light had grown with the intention to change things slowly, bit by bit. He wanted to change things and make humans more prevalent so he could gain more power and continue changing things.
But was he really as capable as he thought?
The God of Chaos didn’t seem to care about him at the moment, as his mind and thoughts were completely different, and therefore he couldn’t really understand the feeble mind of the God of Light.
‘Hmm… Well, let’s see where all of this goes… But those that mess with the Fragments of Evil will get punished one way or another… Normal humans cannot touch those things, or well… they’ll only bring disaster to them….’ Thought Loki.
Meanwhile, the little spider girl was playing around with a playful snake within her dungeon.
The little girl raised her index finger as the little snake suddenly jumped out of the floor and began to float around, reaching her finger and touching it with her snout.
The girl giggled as she began to run around, raising her finger again. She was making the snake jump from the floor to reach her finger. Of course, it wasn’t jumping and more like floating in midair, but for the little girl it felt like it was jumping.
The girl’s beautiful red eyes seemed entertained by her new friend.
The other spiders had been looking at her for a while. Some seemed happy the girl got a friend, while others were concerned that she might deviate from her original purposes by having such a distraction.
The spiders, however, couldn’t think more deeply than that, and as the servants of the girl, they simply obeyed her orders and didn’t intrude into her relationship with the one she called “worm.”
The little spider girl jumped around as she chased down the snake, and then the snake began chasing her down afterward.
The two played together until the little girl was tired, gasping for air over the floor.
The little girl knew very few words, but Maria realized how she was slowly learning more. It didn’t seem particularly hard for her.
