16 Chapter 14

Yue materialized in her physical form next to Aster and Abaddon, and together they gazed at Gaia. After a moment, they descended to hover above her.

Gaia stood tall at 30 meters, her skin a creamy light brown, and her hair a soft light green. She possessed a voluptuous figure, with large leaves serving to cover her private parts.

"My Lord, what should we do with her?" (Abaddon)

"We shall welcome her, Abaddon. She is our daughter and your new sister, after all," (Aster) 

As soon as Aster uttered those words, the woman's eyes began to twitch slowly, revealing her beautiful light brown eyes. Confusion clouded her gaze initially, but soon clarity dawned upon her, as if an answer to her confusion was solved.

Aster understood what happened there. In his creation of the universe, he ensured that all beings born from his energy possessed inherent knowledge about themselves, their abilities, Yue and the other girls, his realm, and himself. Consequently, beings in the universe had a basic understanding of their origins and recognized him as their creator.

Gaia took in her newfound awareness, observing the trio before her. While she noticed Aster's two companions, and was particularly struck by the strikingly handsome male with two pairs of wings and the astonishingly beautiful woman next to him. However, it was Aster himself who held her attention.

Despite her limited experience and understanding of beauty, Gaia instinctively recognized Aster's divine essence. Even without fully grasping the concept of beauty, she understood that Aster's presence was unmatched.

Gaia sensed a connection with Aster and had received insights about him, understanding that he was not only her creator but also her father.

Overwhelmed by all these revelations, she stared at Aster in astonishment, at a loss for words.

"Hello, my daughter, welcome to existence," (Aster)

Aster greeted while spreading his arms out, breaking the silence and drawing Gaia out of her astonishment.

As Gaia looked into Aster's, no, her father's eyes, she finally found her voice. 

"Father... I... I'm here. I exist because of you?" (Gaia)

she uttered, her tone tinged with confusion.

Despite receiving information about herself and her father, Gaia remained perplexed, unsure of the purpose behind her creation.

Sensing his daughter's confusion, Aster spoke with a gentle smile, radiating love.

"No worries, Gaia. I will explain everything to you, but first, let's adjust your size,"(Aster)

Aster said, his voice carrying kindness and care.

Confused, Gaia looked at him, unsure of what he meant. However, she found reassurance in her father's gentle smile and voice, deciding to trust him.

Aster raised his hand and pointed his finger at her. A beam of light shot out and enveloped Gaia. She began to shine as she gradually shrank until she stood at a height of 174 centimeters.

Aster then waved his hand, conjuring a green toga to clothe Gaia. He couldn't allow his daughter to remain covered only in leaves, or his wife's and Ophis would deemed him a pervert.

Aster observed Gaia's amazement with a warm smile, while Gaia looked at herself in awe. 

"Wow, I became small."(Gaia)

She muttered, marveling at her hands.

Aster, Yue, and Abaddon chuckled at her reaction, causing Gaia to blush.

"Haha, okay. Let me introduce these two to you," (Aster)

Aster said. 

"To my left is Abaddon, your eldest brother and my first creation, and to my right is Yue, my wife and your mother."(Aster)

As Aster introduced them, Yue immediately went over to hug Gaia, catching her off guard, while Abaddon stood beside her, patting her on the shoulder.

"Umu! It's nice to meet you, my daughter." (Yue)

Yue said warmly, embracing Gaia.

"Welcome, Gaia. As your brother, if you ever need anything, you can count on me. I will always be here for you."(Abaddon)

Abaddon added reassuringly.

In that moment, Gaia didn't fully grasp the emotions stirring within her. The warmth of her mother's embrace and the reassuring words from her eldest brother filled her with an unfamiliar yet comforting sensation. 

Her lips curved into a blissful smile as she thought that maybe, just maybe, staying like that for a while wouldn't be so bad.
