The Dark Rebirth of Pandora: Revenge of the Abyss-Chapter 188: Create Universes

"Is she awake?" I hear my mom ask me as she notices my slight movement.

"Yes... how long have I been asleep?" I’m currently lying in her lap, and I ask to know how long I’ve been sleeping.

"A few hours," she thinks briefly and responds.

"Was it good?" She asks about my sleep.

"...Yes... I don’t think I’ve slept that well in years." It was wonderful, I feel so rested and calm, it was simply the best sleep I’ve ever had. I didn’t even know I was never really sleeping.

However, it makes sense in a way. When I killed the assassins that Celeste sent to Veritus’ house, I did it even while I was sleeping, showing a reaction beyond just a reflex.

"Could you train me a bit?" I take the opportunity to make this request. I want to train some things with her, and as a goddess, she must be able to teach me many things.

"Of course I can, what do you want to train? And be warned that I’ll be quite strict about it."

"Haha, I wouldn’t expect anything different. Well, I want help with two things. First is my fighting style I want a unique fighting style suited to me." I say while looking at her chest.

There are marks from my teeth, I wonder if I hurt her since I was drinking her milk before.

"Well, that’s relatively simple. We can use the arena for that. And what else do you need help with?"

"I... wanted to get better at using the [Essence of Creation] ability." I reveal my ability to my mom. She’s silent, and I look at her with a slightly disturbing smile.

"..."

"Of course I’ll help you with that, daughter. In fact, I can teach you something that will be very useful on your revenge journey, and we can do this training right here without breaking any rules."

"Really? That’s wonderful! What are we going to do?" I ask excitedly as I get up from her lap. She puts her clothes back on properly, covering her breast again. It’s a shame, it’s so beautiful, and watching it is tempting.

"I’ll teach you how to create pocket universes... don’t look so shocked. With your current power, it will be a small universe with basic and limited laws."

"But you can define the laws of that universe. I’m sure you understand what I mean."

"..."

"!!!" I quickly realize the implications creating a pocket universe to torture the heroes at will, a universe where there is no happiness, a universe where they can suffer eternally without dying and without being able to react.

"From your smile, I think you understand. This ability you have is undoubtedly incredible, but it’s not so suitable for direct combat. So the best thing to do with it is to create things that will help you."

"First, I’ll teach you the basics of creating a universe."

"Mom... how do you know about this?" I question, not doubting her, but curious about how she knows this.

"I may not have this ability, but I’ve seen the sky enough to understand how it works. Plus, I govern the abyss and have even merged with it, so I naturally have knowledge of universal creation."

"Let’s start now before Aradia calls us to another meeting..."

"First, we need to make it clear that you are weak. When you reach the level of a goddess in terms of power, you’ll be able to create universes from scratch. But for now, with your strength, all you can do are pre-made miniatures."

"You don’t have enough power or control to create your own governing laws. You can only remove laws and use simplified versions."

"So the most important thing in the early stages of creating a pocket universe is to have a piece that already has laws in place."

"We can use some things for that, but I recommend you use a core. Create a core with your mana, and inside this core is where we’ll create a universe. With your strength, you should be able to create something the size of 1 kilometer."

I start gathering my magic and forming a core as she requested. Soon, a red sphere is formed.

"Will this do?" She holds and analyzes the core, then breaks it with her hands.

"Do it differently. This core is meant to serve as an extra organ. Make a core with the purpose of storing something." She speaks coldly, just as she said, she’ll be strict in the training.

I repeat the process and try to change the core. After a few minutes, I hand her the new core.

"..." She breaks it again.

"Too rough, make something more refined." I try again, making another one more refined as she asked.

Crack!

"Too fragile, make it stronger."

Crack!

"Too simple, make it more sophisticated."

Crack!

"Too big, make it more compact."

Crack!

"Too unstable, make it more resistant to external changes."

Crack!

"Too poorly made, it seems you just put together everything I said. Make it in an organized way, the universe is made in an organized manner."

Crack!

"Too messy, fix that."

Crack!

"Too much unnecessary adjustment, make it without extra things."

Crack!

"Almost good, but it’s missing a way to enter and exit, an entrance to add things and exits to release things."

"...How about this one?" I hand her the core I made my best effort on. It’s a transparent core that doesn’t seem to have anything special, but when analyzed, it has a complex system of operation.

She analyzes it critically and very carefully. I fear disappointing her. Just as she said, the training is strict whenever I failed, she broke the core and told me what to fix, and nothing more.

No words of encouragement or anything like that. She just pointed out the error, told me what to improve, and kept staring at me. And we went on like this for hours.

’Please work.’ With each change, the core changed in appearance and color, and the final result was a perfectly smooth, colorless, and completely transparent spherical core.

"..."

"It’s good, not perfect, but it supports the creation of a pocket universe. Not bad, daughter." She says with a smile as she hands me the core.

Her praise is nothing extraordinary or sentimental, just a simple "Not bad," but that alone already energizes me. She didn’t motivate me at all and only complained and said where I needed to improve, so receiving a compliment is great.

"Now that we have a place where the universe can be created, I can teach you the next process. I’ll give you two things to do this briefly, after all, if we follow the normal learning process, it will take many years."

"First, I’ll give you this. This book is an abyss relic that I made to help you. Think of it as your birthday present. And the second is a reward for your completion."

"As soon as you finish reading this book, you’ll gain the knowledge you need. This book acts as a dictionary that searches for something in the universe and informs you. It will be destroyed after one use, but the information will be directly inserted into your head."

"I initially thought you would use it for something else, but now that I know you have [Essence of Creation], it’s more useful for you to obtain the basic universal laws that govern the universes."

"This will give you many things, whether it’s help with spells, physical knowledge, quantum, dimensional, universal, etc."

"The book is relatively complex, so you’ll need to be very clear about what you want to learn, as you won’t have a second chance. As soon as you open the book, you’ll gain the knowledge you desire."

"It will take some time for your brain to process everything, so this is where the second thing I’m going to give you comes in. I know you can be quite... unique with your desires, so if you can finish analyzing the book in less than 24 hours..."

"I’ll let you suck on my breasts."

"!!!" This immediately motivates me. I need to obtain all this knowledge in less than 24 hours. It’s my duty to accomplish such a feat. I really want to savor her milk again.

It’s like the nectar of the gods in a more literal form, since it comes from the body of a goddess, and I really need it.

"I’ll make it! I just need to read the book while thinking about obtaining the laws that govern the universe, right?"

"Yes, although there is the side effect that you could die if you can’t handle it, since a lot of information will be forcibly entered into your head."

"But I’m sure you can handle it, so let’s start. After all, if Aradia comes here, it could cause problems since you can’t go to the meeting while receiving the information."

"...Hmm, the risk is worth it." What’s a mere risk like this compared to the ability to create entire universes? Now in the beginning, it may not be a big deal, but in the future, it will be incredible.

Plus, it will help with my revenge. I can create a universe full of pain and suffering and trap the heroes there, but without powers.

If I can manipulate which laws exist and don’t exist, I can create a universe where magic and abilities don’t exist for humans, so the heroes trapped in that place won’t have any power.

"Shall I start, mom?"

"...Okay, I’ll take care of you while you obtain the knowledge." My mom has absolute confidence that I’ll succeed.

I take a deep breath and look at the book. It has a black cover, as if it’s the darkness itself, while an eye that seems alive looks around on the cover.

I think about the knowledge I want and open the book, beginning what will be the reading of the book.
