Origin of Kali is found in "Chandi" section of Makrenda Purana. She evolves from Devi Durga herself in the midst of battlefield. According to Markenda Purana Devi appears mainly in three forms. She appeared when ever the Gods are struck in any crisis and prayed for her help. On first occasion she appeared when Brahma pleaded her for killing Madhu and Kaitava. On second occasion she appeared as Mahishasurmardini. On the third occasion she was called through prayers

for killing Sumbha and Nishumbha, the two demon brothers.  
All the other Goddess are mere her different forms, Durga, Katyani, Shivaduti, Sakambhari, Bhima or Bhramri. Description of this Bhramari (look of an wasp) is found in Kalika Purana. Here Devi drinks nectar like a black wasp.

According to Chandi Purana all Gods including Indra prayed to Devi to rescue them from Sumbha and Nishumbha. Devi creates another goddess from her body called Devi Koushiki, as she is born out of the cell (kosh) of Devi. As Devi Koushiki was wandering at Himalayas Chanda and Munda, two followers of Sumbha and Nishumbha, found her. She felt disturbed by their presence and she became irritated. Her anger was so fierce that she her body turned dark. From her frowning

took birth the slayer Kalika. She looked fierce and ugly. She is a thin lady, wearing tiger skin, and adorned with garlands of human heads, and bearing human skulls. 

Her rudeness and her streatched mouth with dangling tongue add to her furious look. Her horse voice surrounds the horizon.
Just after her appearance she started to eat the whole of the battle force of the demons along with the horses and elephants. Finally with a furious sound she killed Chanda and Munda. With an inhuman laugh she presented Devi Koushiki their torn heads. On return Devi Koushiki entitled her as Chamundi, slayer of Chanda and Munda.
In every forms of Devi, be it Durga, Kalika or Chandi, one purpose becomes clear. She is not always the destroyer of demons or Ashuras. She is not only the defender of the Gods, she destroys the evil within man thus enhancing the goodness within leading to preservation of world peace.
