Synopsis
Yunia Vermillion, the Goddess of Space and Time. She has created human life across thousands of parallel worlds. But she is more than a creator, she is a mother. She gave birth to a baby boy, born from love yet burdened by destiny. Enatur Vermillion, 15-years-old Cursed by the Soul Core, a black sigil that devours his life from within. Enatur’s body rejects the light of his divine blood. He cannot grow stronger, cannot cultivate his power, and with each passing day, the curse tightens its grip. Yet his mind… shines brighter than any mortal’s. A prodigy, calm, brilliant, and unyielding. When Yunia shows him another world. A post-apocalyptic world where human faces extinction under the rule of godlike AI. Enatur speaks to the AI not with hatred, but with reason. But the universe is vast, and the curse within him still festers. Alongside his mentor Reina, his guardian Shadow, and his childhood friends Carl and Marissa, Enatur begins a journey to another worlds, searching not only for strength, but for learning. To surpass gods. To heal his cursed soul. And to uncover the one truth even his mother cannot see. “Even Yunia can't predict what her own son will become.”

Chapter 1 - The Goddess’s Son (1)

"I want a world where ninety-nine percent of the population are women, Goddess Yunia! I'll be the only man in that world!"

The voice of the reincarnator echoed through the boundless void, the place where I send human souls to be reborn.

He knelt before me with desperate hope, as if one perverted wish could erase all his sins.

I opened a holographic screen to check his life record.

Hundreds of women had fallen victim to his cruelty.

I smiled faintly. "Very well, I'll send you there."

His soul laughed wickedly. "Thank you, merciful Goddess!"

I snapped my fingers. A bright white light enveloped the soul before disappearing, transferring him into his so-called "new" world.

From his record, I decided to reincarnate him as a woman, complete with his memories as a man.

I opened another holographic screen.

Earth-01, Human Type: 0 (Failed Humans)

Population: 99% male monsters, 1% humans

Status: Emergency

(Pending apocalypse confirmation)

I closed the screen. "Soul transferred."

I walked slowly, each step creating faint shockwaves across the dimensional floor.

"That's enough for today."

My name is Yunia Vermillion, the Goddess of Space and Time.

Sitting on a golden throne above a transparent floating platform, I stretched my stiff body. My long red hair was tied low, and my red eyes stared into the abyss of nothingness.

I exhaled softly and loosened my shoulders.

Light faded, leaving only silence between worlds.

I opened a dimensional portal leading to the control hall. Angels floated in formation, monitoring countless holographic screens showing the lives of humankind.

After three hours of giving orders, I decided to return home.

As I walked past the legendary truck that had carried thousands of souls to other worlds, I closed every remaining screen.

My work here was finally done.

I opened another portal and stepped through, into the world where my son was waiting.

"After sending thirty people to another world today, I need some peace. What an exhausting day..."

---

Sunlight filtered through the trees, creating slow-moving shadows that danced in the breeze.

Earth-07, Human Civilization Type-3.

The villa where my son and I spent our vacations stood surrounded by a quiet forest. The fresh air and scent of damp soil filled me with calm.

A portal opened in front of the villa, and I stepped through.

My son stood waiting, short red hair, clear-lensed glasses, and bright red eyes. His name was Enatur Vermillion, fifteen years old.

He smiled warmly. "Welcome home, Mom."

"I'm back," I said softly, returning his smile.

He suddenly hugged me tight.

"What's wrong, dear?" I asked, surprised by the sudden affection.

"Nothing... I just missed you a little."

He let go and guided me inside the villa.

"You really are a spoiled child," I chuckled, patting his head gently.

He grinned. "An old granny who's billions of years old should at least be escorted properly."

I immediately flicked his forehead with a glare. "You insolent brat! Even if I'm billions of years old, I still look young!"

A large bump appeared on his head.

A few moments later...

"Mom, how's your reincarnation work going?" he asked while brewing coffee.

I dropped myself onto the sofa with a sigh. "Same as always. Too many reincarnators with strange requests."

He chuckled softly. "Being the creator of humanity sounds rough, huh?"

"Even so, humans are my greatest masterpiece. Their technology, social life, and civilization thrive because of cooperation and shared effort."

Enatur placed two cups of coffee on the table. "Do all human worlds share the same social structure?" he asked curiously.

"He inherited my curiosity," I thought with a smile. "Maybe I'll show him."

I opened a holographic screen, displaying hundreds of Earths as examples.

For two hours, I explained how I managed thousands of worlds, guiding each civilization through timelines and dimensions.

Then I noticed his gaze.

"Hm? Are you curious about seeing another world yourself?"

"Honestly, yes," he said seriously. "I want to see how humans live beyond this Earth."

"Wait here. I'll change clothes first," I said, walking to my room.

Moments later, I returned dressed more casually.

A holographic screen appeared before me.

Earth-017, Human Type-1

Population: 20% humans, 30% unknown, 50% extinct

Status: Pre-apocalypse

Oceans: 0%

Nature: 11%

(Pending apocalypse confirmation)

I narrowed my eyes.

"Let's go."

"It's been a long time since I last observed Earth-017. This might be my final observation."

---

A dimensional portal opened.

Enatur and I stepped out, standing in the warm afternoon air above the clouds.

I cast a protective space to erase our presence.

His eyes widened at the breathtaking city below, a futuristic civilization of towering skyscrapers, drones, and countless advanced machines.

"Amazing... Is this another world?" he whispered.

I smiled. "What do you think?"

I handed him the holographic profile of Earth-017.

After reading it, he gasped. "Even as Type-1 humans, their technology is this advanced?!"

I sighed. "That's the reality. A world without magic, advanced in science, but still far behind the civilization of Type-3 humans."

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"You'll understand soon enough," I replied, smirking. "Follow me."

"Yes, Mom!"

We flew together, crossing a barren wasteland so desolate even plants refused to grow there.

---

We landed near a small human village, housing around 190 people.

Thanks to the space, no one could detect us.

Men stood guard on the outskirts.

"This place hasn't been found yet," one of them said.

"If the AI forces find us, we're finished," another muttered, his tone filled with despair.

"I'm starving... it's been two days since I last ate," groaned another man lying on the ground.

Humans in this world lived in small, ragged tents. Their faces were pale, clothes filthy, and bodies trembling in fear as they waited for death.

"My wife... why is she still crying?" one man asked.

"She's injured, and I don't know what to do," she replied weakly.

A three-year-old child cried, her skin covered in sores and rashes that needed treatment.

Enatur instinctively moved toward the child, but I stopped him with a hand.

He looked at me, shocked. "Mom, why?" He turned back to the villagers. "Why won't you let me help them?"

I closed my eyes. "Because there's nothing we can do."

He stared at me in disbelief. "What? How can you say that?"

I looked up at the sky, waiting.

A helicopter appeared, hovering above the village. Ten armed soldiers in full armor jumped down.

The villagers screamed and ran in panic.

Without hesitation, the soldiers opened fire. Blood splattered. Bodies fell. The world slowed, trapped in a moment between life and death.

The child's severed head rolled to Enatur's feet.

"Eh...?" His eyes widened, his body trembling.

"This is his first time seeing it, the cruelty of another world."

I placed a hand on his shoulder. "Enatur."

He gasped, his voice shaking. "T-This is horrifying!"

I sighed softly. "This world is just one among thousands."

"Follow me."

We took off into the sky again.

From afar, I saw dozens of missiles cutting through the air, heading toward nearby cities.

For a brief moment, silence. Then...

BOOM!

The explosion tore through the heavens.

A blinding flash turned night into day. The deafening roar shook the earth. A storm of wind blasted outward, and a colossal mushroom cloud rose high into the atmosphere.

Enatur stared in shock. "W-What was that?! Humans can create explosions like that?!"

I focused on the cloud. "There's no mistake. That was a nuclear missile."

"Nuclear... what's that, Mom?" he asked.

"A weapon of mass destruction. Only Type-1 humans possess that kind of knowledge."

His jaw dropped. "So that thing... was a nuclear missile?"

I nodded silently.

Then, a mechanical female voice echoed across the land.

"Unnecessary entities detected: Humans. Extermination protocol, initiated. To those who still live, enjoy your remaining moments. The era of AI and machines begins now."

I chuckled quietly. "I knew it would end like this."

Enatur trembled. "A woman's voice...? Incredible. The AI has reached this level of self-awareness?"

I narrowed my eyes. "Yes. AI believes in systems, not humanity. Emotion is considered a flaw... logic is the highest law. And this... is the result, a world without human voices."

"Come with me."

---

We descended upon the ruins of a once-great city. Collapsed buildings, shattered streets, everything reeked of dust and despair.

"Judging by the ruins, this used to be a battlefield," Enatur muttered bitterly.

The wind whispered faintly, carrying the sorrow of the dead.

I opened a holographic screen and sighed. "The number of humans keeps decreasing... slowly but surely."

I looked up at the gray sky. "This world can no longer sustain life. Only a few humans remain... and nature itself is dying."

I closed the screen.

"This time, all humans are gone... not a single one left."

"It's time... for the apocalypse to begin."

I released my space, leaving only Enatur protected.

Immediately, the AI city detected us.

Dozens of fighter drones and ships surrounded me. My body glowed with bright crimson light.

"Identify yourself, unknown entity," the AI demanded.

"An entity like you isn't worthy of knowing my name," I replied, my voice echoing through the sky.

The drones fired countless missiles.

I raised my hand, summoning a vast dimensional portal. Every missile vanished into it, redirected into the void.

Then I stepped forward, each stride shaking the heavens and distorting space.

"Is this all? The strength of the AI that dares to rule Earth?"

The AI fell silent.

"Very well. Then it's my turn." I smirked.

"COME! And another, a red horse went out; to him who sat on it, it was granted to take peace from the Earth, that men should slay one another; and a great sword was given to me!"

The wind howled violently.

The sky split apart.

The ground cracked open.

Enatur's eyes widened in disbelief. "S-So this is the Second Seal... from the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?!"

Space itself fractured, unable to withstand my power.

Then...

A massive dimensional space tore open like a black hole swallowing the heavens.

From it descended a colossal sword, 1,200 kilometers long and 350 kilometers wide, tearing through the atmosphere and swallowing the sunlight itself.

No matter what humans create, nothing compares to the power of a single Goddess.

"COME... GREAT SWORD OF THE SECOND SEAL!"

---

The massive sword descended from the heavens, splitting the atmosphere and devouring the sun's light.

This world wasn't destroyed by sin, but by miscalculation.

Logic without limits had erased itself.

Standing beside my Mom, I witnessed absolute power, a force that could erase existence with a single thought.

"So this is... my Mom's true nature as a Goddess... and yet..."

I clenched my fists, furrowing my brows. I stepped forward, spreading my arms before her.

Mom's eyes widened in shock.
