(Note: Although the terminology of ons and kaidan is uniformly used in the book, in practice, kaidan from other worlds may not perceive themselves this way. They might be called gods, demons, or sothing else. Grasp the spirit of it.)
Miss Ke, according to the definition from Infinite City, was undoubtedly a later-stage kaidan.
Her life as a human was brief and painful. She was born into a family devoutly following a faith that believed in the Pope. Her parents, convinced by the Pope’s words, burned her alive. Ironically, due to the Pope’s propaganda, she was thought to have ascended to heaven, having her sins cleansed by flas. Yet, because of that brief and intense cognition, she transford into a weak later-stage kaidan that could vanish at any mont.
As ti passed, the part of her that belonged to humans was completely forgotten with her parents’ death, and in the cognition of countless followers, she even beca a representative of a "divine servant of heaven."
These days only lasted until the faith she followed was annihilated by the authorities.
Losing her source of faith, to survive, she went through experiences no different from those in Infinite City. Or rather, because she lacked logistics, her life was even worse than those in Infinite City.
Indeed, due to a lack of knowledge or having absorbed too much zeal from the followers, she once hunted other kaidan to survive by directly devouring them—
Or rather, any kaidan without the knowledge inheritance of Infinite City, facing approaching death, would ultimately walk down this path dood to madness.
Naturally, kaidan devoured each other, fused, turned into ons, and hunted more kaidan. Weaker kaidan were consud, stronger ones hunted ons but were polluted, turning into new ons.
No one knew what happened later. The only certainty was that, in the end, this world had only one on left.
It wasn’t that the devoured kaidan couldn’t resurrect. It was because those kaidan had already rged into the on.
As the fusion of all kaidan in this world, the on existed in a twisted and indescribable way. It stood as the world’s archenemy, a monster in the shadows, the destroyer of civilization, and the embodint of the world’s malevolence as an evil god...
Humans gave it many nas, and these nas ca to order the chaotic cognition within the on.
Finally, on a certain day, the on awakened.
The disordered cognition was unified, and a myth nad the God of Chaos was established. Chaos beca her inherent attribute, and madness beca its setting’s authority.
Thus, the mont this cognition was popularized, the on reverted to a kaidan.
And the awakening consciousness in this kaidan,
was Miss Ke.
She wasn’t sure if she was the child sacrificed by the family following the faith, the amalgam of divine servants promoted by the faith, or the collection of all kaidan in this world, a convergence of the world’s endless malevolence.
Sotis, she even doubted she wasn’t the consciousness of the later-stage kaidan from the on but rely the romantic personality fictionalized into this "innate kaidan" by accident by writers crafting mythological stories. Regardless, she was the ultimate resurrectionist, the God of Faceless of Chaos, the indescribable incarnation of malice.
(Similar to how the popularity of Ke culture caused Nyaratoripu, this chaotic on, to beco a kaidan with a chaotic setting, then led to the creation of Nyarlathotep’s consciousness due to Nyarlathotep’s popularity).
Then, she destroyed the world.
Saying it that way wasn’t accurate. To be precise, she used her authority to restart the world to avoid turning back into a chaotic on.
Then, through clandestine guidance, she constructed faith and maintained her existence.
Then restarted again.
Miss Ke clearly rembered each restart of hers—
Sotis, it was because humans’ obsession led to distortions in faith that twisted her mind.
Sotis, sudden natural disasters were attributed to her, resulting in acquiring a passive power that attracted such disasters.
Sotis, humans simply began organizing a union to start a splendid rebellion against her, the only god.
In restarts spanning several hundred years or rely a few decades each ti, she gradually devised an effective strategy to drag everything into a dream realm, allowing faith and cognition to unfold in dreams.
Once this frawork erged, a series of benefits based on this structure beca apparent.
Restarts no longer obliterated previous accumulations.
Humans wouldn’t self-destruct easily anymore.
Most importantly, the developnt of humanity in the dream realm never ceased, allowing her always to obtain new experiences and entirely new lives.
Until...
So filth entered her ho!
ssing with the world frawork she painstakingly built was one thing, but even stealing her faith now!
If it were just stealing faith, she could tolerate it. After all, she knew kaidan had hard days. Encountering a new kind wasn’t easy, and so naivety was understandable. After fixing the frawork, she might even share so with this new kin.
But the problem was, this thing could create filthy faith (referring to Black Ball)!
Filthy faith!
Exposing oneself to it too much could turn one into an on!
How many years did it take for her to escape the on state by chance, and does this thing even know what it’s doing?!
...
"So this is why you’re so weak?"
Feng Xue, listening to Miss Ke’s account, uttered a soul-searching question while stroking his chin. Miss Ke, who had just managed to calm down, imdiately flared up:
"I’m not weak at all! I just haven’t used my Destructive Power!"
"But even if you used your Destructive Power, you still couldn’t kill !"
Feng Xue confidently smirked. He was curious why a kaidan expert capable of such a process had so little Kaidan Fire. Now he understood; this person wasn’t a big shot managing multiple worlds but rather an ouroboros constantly restarting in one world!
Thinking about it made sense; even if the Babylon Tower wanted to force kaidan above fifty layers into PVP, a big shot of the multiverse wouldn’t co out by just reaching sixty layers.
It was rely Feng Xue’s own overthinking.
With this thought, Feng Xue chuckled, reaching his hand to grab Miss Ke’s.
Seeing this, Miss Ke shrank away rapidly to avoid Feng Xue’s grappling, and warily said:
"What do you want?"
"I don’t like taking advantage of others. I’ll share half the faith of this world and give you a broader world. Co, go ho with ..."
"No!"
