Chapter 770 - [Scripted Event: War Against G.o.ds] 52/52: Decisive Battle!
-----
Divine Cores are special jewels that form when a Mortal Soul ascends into a Divine Soul.
Such special jewels store the power of the G.o.d, such as their Divine Energy, and even create their Divine Realm, which resides inside of this mystical jewel.
Kinesis and Kireina had been eating such Divine Cores since long ago, which had granted them unprecedented power.
However, when Kinesis finally decided to devour his own Divine Core, is when his true power finally emerged!
By devouring the most precious power source of a G.o.d, their Divine Core, and consequently his Divine Realm, Kinesis acquired an enormous new amount of power acc.u.mulated by the creation of such internal s.p.a.ce!
It was as if his power had multiplied several times!
He finally did the last step!
The one that other G.o.ds similar to him had done before!
Devour their Divine Cores and acquire forbidden power!
This was something similar to a ritual that only those that have achieved this state would undergo.
Devouring your own Divine Core was an act similar to renouncing your own status as a G.o.d, and finally, jump into becoming something greater!
Bearing the pain of doing such a taboo, Kinesis roared in exhilaration, as his entire being began to evolve, his flesh started to acc.u.mulate in a single place, and his soul transformed… he began to become something of his own!
"I will not let you do as you please!" roared Kireina, breaking through s.p.a.ce itself and using Divine Warp to approach Kinesis!
"Chaotic Myriad Selves: Storm of Slicing Roses!" roared Kireina, employing her newly created technique and combining millions of clones made of her Divine Aura into gigantic purple, pink, and red roses, controlling them like a storm and unleas.h.i.+ng the powerful attack against Kinesis!
A beautiful and majestic storm of enormous roses attacked Kinesis, as it exploded countless times through the attack, blowing off pieces from Kinesis as he screamed.
"UNNGRRRYAAA…! Y-YOU…! Let me transform!" roared Kinesis, as he released a powerful Psychokinesis Shock, which distorted the spatial layers due to the magnitude of its power, forcing Kireina to defend!
"Chaotic Myriad Selves: Demonic Wings of Protection!" roared Kireina, evolving her new techniques more and more, as she shaped the millions of clones made of divine aura into gigantic demonic wings that protected her partially from damage, falling back as she quickly unleashed another storm of roses and glanced at Kinesis react!
However, Kinesis"s appearance had changed!
In front of Kinesis, several System notifications emerged one after another!
[Kinesis] Divine Epic has awakened!]
[Kinesis] has awakened into the [Chaotic Beast of Self-Indulgent Avarice: Zahhak]!]
[Kinesis] has gained the status of [World"s Enemy: Primordial Beast]!]
[Kinesis] acquired several new Skills!]
[Kinesis] Stats have increased exponentially!]
"Hahaha…! GAHAHAHA! I knew it! I knew that I was destined to something grand, bigger, and even greater than you, Kireina! Primordial Beast…! I am destined to be the enemy of this world!" laughed Kinesis Zahhak.
"Primordial Beast? He became someone like Begudhur?! This is bad, I cannot let him grow any stronger… I will make sure to devour him now!" roared Kireina, monstrously roaring like a gluttonous beast, flying towards Kinesis while he laughed!
"GAHAHA! You are nothing against me now! Sinful Typhoon! Divinity Typhoon!" roared Kinesis Zahhak, as he suddenly conjured the new Skills he acquired!
Kireina unleashed a storm of attacks against him from all sides, even distorting s.p.a.ce and sending void beams, everything!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Kinesis Zahhak was torn apart into pieces!
However, Kireina could not find his soul!
"This…!"
Suddenly, s.p.a.ce itself began to distort against Kireina"s command!
"W-What?!"
"Sin Concentration… Divine Concentration…"
Flas.h.!.+
Suddenly, the torn apart pieces of Kinesis Zahhak went together and reformed him back again, as all the attacks that Kireina threw at him were simply absorbed into a sphere of power, which he used as an energy source to heal back to normal!
"What kind of overpowered Skill is that?!" asked Kireina, although she could eat attacks, not even she could do such a ridiculous thing!
"This is my power… the power of my new name and t.i.tle, admire it! Release!" laughed Kinesis Zahhak, as the world shacked!
In less than a millisecond, all the power sent against Kinesis Zahhak was sent back at her, as if it were a perfect counter!
"So this is his power…!" thought Kireina, as she desperately shaped herself as a gigantic mantle of monstrosity, employing all of her soul and body into the task of devouring!
"Uroboros!"
BOOM!
Kireina and all those fused with her put themselves into the task of devouring this!
Kinesis kept infusing more power, but he realized that Kireina was simply devouring it and making it her power!
"This won"t do then!" said Kinesis, as he quickly called back the power and fused with it!
Flas.h.!.+
His entire body began to shapes.h.i.+ft, becoming a serpentine monstrous creature filled with tentacles and eyes, flying towards Kireina!
CLAs.h.!.+
The clash between t.i.tans continued, as Kireina put everything she to kill Kinesis, and Kinesis did so as well!
The world shacked, the ground flew away dozens of kilometers, the floor was nothing but a terrible wasteland!
The sky was clear of clouds as the shockwaves of powers clas.h.i.+ng against each other blew them all away!
The Spatial Layers trembled continuously as their monstrous attacks, explosive magic, and destructive bites and slashes made what supported the existence of this area tremble!
Clas.h.!.+ Clas.h.!.+ Clas.h.!.+ Clas.h.!.+
"World Breaking Chaos Cannon! Slas.h.i.+ng Claws of Void-Chaos!" roared Kireina, tearing apart Kinesis into pieces and ashes, as he came back and threw back the power she threw at him!
It was as if he was immortal in all shapes of forms!
"How can I… even beat this b.a.s.t.a.r.d?!" roared Kireina, infuriated as she was fighting against someone that held a law-breaking power!
Kireina quickly put all of her minds into work, conjuring gigantic black holes all around the battlefield, forcing Kinesis to retreat, however, he simply ignored the Black Holes as he absorbed them into his sphere of power and unleashed them against Kireina!
This was getting ridiculous!
Then, Kireina employed her Divine Aura, as she managed to get close to Kinesis, putting all of her soul and the concentrated ma.s.s of power from all those fused with her!
"Transcendental Chaotic Myriad Self: s.p.a.ce-Tearing Gluttonous Jaws!!!"
Flas.h.!.+
Kireina concentrated all of this concentrated power into her Soul and Divine Aura, employing them to generate millions of smaller clones of herself and shaping them as gigantic, monstrous, and amorphous jaws, directing them towards Kinesis!
CRUNCH!
However, instead of targeting Kinesis through their immense speed, they caught the giant sphere of power he had above him!
"Ngh?! So you were aiming for that! I will not let you!" roared Kinesis, unleas.h.i.+ng dozens of Chaos Cannons and other attacks against Kireina, as her body was being torn into pieces!
However, those pieces gained sentience and flew towards him, entangling his body like snakes and then detonating!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Unngreaaaaahhh…!"
Kireina quickly took this opportunity to devour the sphere of power, gaining back the acc.u.mulated powers within as she descended directly towards the wounded Kinesis!
"Now"s your turn!" roared Kireina, breaking apart s.p.a.ce and using Divine Warp, appearing right before Kinesis, and biting his fleshy body!
However, Kinesis smiled!
"You fool, you shouldn"t have gotten this close!" laughed Kinesis, as his body suddenly shaped itself, revealing a gigantic spear-shaped tentacle from within his internal body!
Kireina quickly called Gungnir to intercept it, however, Gungnir shattered into pieces without even putting any force, and the spear penetrated her body!
CLAs.h.!.+
Of course, why would such a wound even damage her?
However, Kinesis compressed his body as he moved all of his ma.s.s into the spear, inflating it as it began to expand all over Kireina"s flesh and soul!
"Aaggghh…! Y-You…!"
Kireina tried to devour Kinesis back, but he intercepted her devour with his own devour and the Typhoon Skills, acc.u.mulating all of that power and making his attack even greater!
"T-This…! I have to secure their safety…! Enough!" roared Kireina, exuding all the power she could to resist Kinesis a bit more, devouring him as much as she could!
Kireina gnashed her teeth, as she quickly separated from her family and friends and threw them inside of her Inner Realm!
"W-What?!" asked Zehe.
"Kirienaaaaaa!" cried Nesiphae.
"MOMMY!" cried Vudia.
"M-Mastaaaaa! WAIT!" cried Rimuru.
"I cannot… let you suffer any longer, let me bear this myself!" roared Kireina closing the gate as she glanced at Kinesis"s laugh!
"I KNEW YOU WOULD TRY TO SAVE THEM FIRST, THEY ARE YOUR WEAKNESS AFTER ALL! PATHETIC MORTAL, YOUR EMOTIONS ARE YOUR BIGGEST WEAKNESS! GAHAHAHA!"
CRACK, CRACK!
Kireina"s soul began to… crack!
Kireina suddenly felt her entire power being drawn away… as if she were being absorbed!
Kinesis had already begun to absorb all of her divinity and vitality like a vicious mosquito, and if she didn"t separate from her family and friends beforehand, they would have gotten their souls sucked away!
Kireina struggled as much as she could…
But this was perhaps the first time that she experienced how powerless she was.
"This… I have acc.u.mulated so many powers… yet… This… is not enough!?" roared Kireina, as she employed all the Skills and Spells she could, but their power was simply not enough to damage Kinesis already! He had become way too powerful through this change of fate!
Kireina had fought Begudhur before, but he was certainly weak, and had not absorbed other G.o.ds before…
However, Kinesis was different, he had already eaten a lot of G.o.ds, and after awakening into a Primordial Beast, he was more than ten times as strong as Begudhur, the parasite could not even compare to Zahhak!
Kireina finally realized what was happening, Kinesis was not simply absorbing her power…
He was absorbing her Primordial Essence directly from her soul!
Kireina gnashed her teeth, as she cut herself!
SLAs.h.!.+
"OH?! You would go that far?!" laughed Kinesis, as he devoured the enormous piece of soul left by Kireina, as the little piece flew away from him!
"UROBOROS, UROBOROS… UROBOROS!" cried Kireina, as she kept devouring herself and multiplying!
If she had enough time to regenerate completely, she should be able to get her power back!
However, it was too late now, Kinesis emerged at her side through… warp!
"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you absorbed my powers!" said Kireina, she felt… anger!
"GAHAHAHA! So this is the power of Spatial Magic! It is too late for you, Kireina! I will finally accomplish what not many had done! And finally, wipe you out from this world once and for all!" laughed Kinesis, grasping Kireina as she tried to create a Pocket Dimension, destroying it with just a swipe of his tentacles!
"Now, you"re mine!" laughed Kinesis, resisting all of Kireina"s attacks without any problems, and tearing her soul into pieces, eating her away!
"Nnnghh…! Is there… nothing… I can do now?! I cannot even use Greed with the energy I possess… now… if only… I had a little bit more!" cried Kireina, as she tried to devour Kinesis as much as she could, becoming incredibly annoying to be eaten, she extended her body like a slime, sticking into Kinesis tentacles, struggling to the very last moment!
"It"s useless! Die!" laughed Kinesis, as his jaws neared Kireina!
CRUNCH.
With a crunching sound, Kinesis felt exhilarating…
Pain?
"Eh?"
Kinesis glanced at Kireina, he could have sworn that something incredibly strong took a bite off him.
But Kireina was struggling to survive as much as she could, she did not do this!
"W-What? Who…?!"
Then, Kireina realized that something within her Inner Realm: Soul World, was happening!
Within the castle, a gigantic egg was… hatching!
She felt it too.
Albeit a bit later than Kinesis.
Something had somehow transcended the barriers of s.p.a.ce and had taken a bite off Kinesis.
This being came from her Inner Realm.
Inside of the egg that was about to hatch.
This egg was…
No one else than her child, the one created within her womb, whom she had laid to protect it from this chaotic battle…
Somehow… something incredibly terrifyingly powerful had just awakened…
However, Kireina did not felt fear, she felt… warmth and love.
She heard it…
Its voice calling to her…
"Mama… I will… protect you!"
Kireina felt as if she were about to burst into tears.
Meanwhile, Kinesis was paralyzed in fear!
The birth of Kireina"s child… had happened!
The egg quickly cracked into pieces, revealing a small little toddler.
It resembled a beautiful lamia, however, its lower half was covered in a metallic crimson exoskeleton, covered in eyes and having hundreds of blade-like legs, ending in a sharp venomous stinger.
Its upper half resembled Kireina a lot, like a very tiny version of her, with pale white skin covered on crimson tattoos that resembled eyes and tentacles, and an adorable face with gleaming crimson eyes and long and silky purple hair, alongside three large black-colored horns and a scarlet jewel at its chest!
She extended her six arms, covered on scarlet exoskeleton and bearing sharp, blade-like claws, as she slowly floated into the air, flying to the sky of this Inner Realm, as she manipulated the s.p.a.ce to her liking, appearing out of Kireina!
"Mama!" she cried.
"N-No, don"t come here! You will…!"
"So it"s you! DIE!" roared Kinesis, as his tentacles neared the little girl.
However, she stood still, glancing at Kinesis, angered.
"Bad! Bully! Leave… mama alone!" she roared, as suddenly, the grotesque presence emerged once more!
CRUNCH.
"UNGH?!"
Kinesis tentacles were bitten by something invisible, as they disappeared!
"W-What?!" asked Kinesis in disbelief.
"You taste bad!" roared the little girl.
CRUNCH.
"GAAAHH…!"
CRUNCH.
"GUGUUGGGAAAGGGHHH…!"
CRUNCH.
"GRYRREAAAAAAAAHHH…!"
Kinesis employed all of his power to escape, leaving behind Kireina as he flew several meters away!
He felt tremendous fear!
Whatever this being was… it simply… defied whatever logic was left on his brain!
The moment she emerged she did not move a finger… yet she was eating Kinesis"s entire body and soul away!
He felt a monstrous jaw eating him apart, and he could not fight back against that at all!
He could not see it either… yet it ate him!
"Just… what is that being?!" roared Kinesis, he was just about to eat Kireina, and this creature came to save her!
"Mama!" cried the little girl, embracing the small piece left of her mother, which resembled a tiny caterpillar.
"Hahh… You are… You are here… My child… You"re so beautiful…" said Kireina tenderly, she seemed tired.
"Mama, rest, for now, I will take care of the bully!" said the girl, as she put Kireina inside of an Inner Realm of her own!
"W-Wait, you can"t fight him alone…!" cried Kireina with concern, as she was saved away…
Kinesis Zahhak swallowed saliva as he glanced with desperate eyes at the little girl in front of him.
For a moment, their eyes were locked.
The tension was slowly rising.
Whoever made a move first might decide this battle!
FLAs.h.!.+
Kinesis quickly took the opportunity, darting towards her as he began to charge all the power he possessed, he was going all out!
"PRIMORDIAL ESSENCE SYPHON!"
FLAs.h.!.+
An enormous siphon emerged from Kinesis soul, absorbing the little girl"s Primordial Essence!
However.
CRUNCH.
"UNGH…!"
Kinesis soul that was doing this Skill was eaten away, munched into nothingness!
The girl then appeared to be munching something inside of her mouth and swallowing it.
"A-Ahhh…! AAaaah…! W-What is this feeling?! Am I… feeling fear against this newborn child!?" thought Kinesis, as he realized something!
"No, wait...!"
The little girl had a range!
She could not devour him if he were to be around fifty meters away from her!
However, she was able to devour any attack within her meter!
How could he even win with such an unfair power?
However, Kinesis smiled.
She could not possibly be a perfect fighter, she had just been born!
Then, he came with an idea!
However, he was interrupted straight away, as the girl darted towards him, unleas.h.i.+ng her Aura of Gluttony!
"Eat," said the girl.
CRUNCH, CRUNCH, CRUNCH!
"NGAAAHH…!"
Kinesis cried in pain, as he resisted the damage and healed himself however he could, the power he got from Kireina was enough to fuel him a bit more!
"TAKE THIS!" roared Kinesis, unleas.h.i.+ng an enormous beam of chaos that covered most of the girl"s sight!
BOOM!
CRUNCH, CRUNCH, CRUNCH!
However, the beam only blocker her sight for a mere second, as she devoured it apart in an instant!
But this was everything he needed!
"GAHAHAHAHA! YOU CANNOT POSSIBLY WIN AGAINST ME NOW! I HAVEN"T GONE THIS FAR WITHOUT THIS CUNNINESS, FILTHY CHILD!" laughed Kinesis, as he warped right before the girl, as she was still eating!
Kinesis discovered another of her weaknesses, she could only go one bite at a time!
While she was biting something, she could not bite again unless the bite itself finished!
The girl"s crimson eyes lost their light as she felt fear!
Kinesis wicked and monstrous smile neared her, as an enormous spear reached her mouth!
She was way too reckless!
Although she was strong, she should have heard her mother!
She now realized this mistake!
"M-Mama…!" she cried, as the spear of flesh neared while she was still biting the attack of Kinesis!
"YES! Now that I will devour this child, my power will be invincible! I will devour this entire world!" laughed Kinesis.
However…
"Get away from my child."
BOOM!
An iridescent white light, so white that Kinesis was completely blind the moment he glanced at it emerged, breaking apart the Divine Formation!
This light and an enormous quant.i.ty of power were so ridiculous that it seemed that the World"s Will itself was manifesting itself on this very moment!
But this voice…
"KIREINA?! YOU HAD A CLONE!?" roared Kinesis, as a gigantic sphere of complete whiteness reached him!
The white light consumed everything as if Kinesis was being disintegrated to a molecular level!
"NNNNNGGGGYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAHHH…!"
BOOM!
Flas.h.!.+
Kireina appeared within a millisecond near her child, hugging her and then disappearing again!
She was teleporting…
This was the perfect Teleportation Spell!
"M-Mama!" said the little girl, hugging her mother, as she noticed her entire presence was… different and more majestic than ever before.
Suddenly, the tiny piece of Kireina"s soul within the girl"s Inner Realm appeared, fusing back with this Kireina!
"You really took your time!" said the tiny soul piece!
Flas.h.!.+
"Now, get inside and let the adults handle this," said Kireina with a warm smile, as she pushed her daughter inside of her Inner Realm without waiting for her response.
"Mama!" she cried, she wanted to be at her side… but Kireina wanted to deal with this b.a.s.t.a.r.d alone.
Because he somehow survived being disintegrated.
Albeit in a very pathetic state…
A burnout ma.s.s of flesh, barely twitching and gasping for air floated in midair.
"How… How… can you… be better than me…?! You… were about to die!" he asked.
Flash.
Kireina appeared right before Kinesis, smiling maliciously.
"That"s simple. Instead of being fueled by your selfish desires. I am also fueled by my selfish desires… of protecting what I love. What do you even love, Kinesis? Do you even love anything? Do you think that my emotions are really my weakness? Fool idiot. My emotions are the strongest weapon I have," said Kireina, grasping Kinesis, as he tried to struggle… but it was impossible!
It was as if Kireina was… manipulating the laws around the s.p.a.ce where Kinesis was… she was negating his powers!
"I will even negate you a second chance!" roared Kireina, destroying Kinesis mind and will, and devouring everything!
"T-This… Just… how?! How did you… Nnnggh…!"
Crack, crack.
"I have acquired the power that you could only dream of! Now rot in h.e.l.l! If there is even one for devoured souls!" roared Kireina.
Crack… crack!
"Noooooo! I do not… want to… STOP! STOP! STOOOOOP! I DON"T… WANNA DIEEEEEE…! W-WAIT! WAIT! NNGH…! NNGHHYYAAAAAAHH…!"
Kinesis felt as if his whole being was shattered like gla.s.s, he was nothing against Kireina now!
CRACK, CRACK…!
CRAs.h.!.+
Kireina devoured Kinesis entirely, negating him a second chance and finally being done with this!
She sighed, changing from deadly serious to incredibly exhausted and tired of everything.
"Man, that was tough… Give me a break… Already eating the whole Origin Core Fragment took me an eternity… I want to sleep on a comfy bed and laze around for a few dozens of years…" she sighed.
Suddenly, Jorgrakog and the Dark Steppes G.o.ds finally reached her, albeit everything was over already.
"Oh, are we late?" asked Ghiotl.
"Very," said Kireina.
"W-Well… at least everything ended quite well!" said Jorgrakog.
"I guess… I almost… didn"t make it…" sighed Kireina.
Ding!
"Oh, max level! About time! Time to become a G.o.ddess I guess! …As if I wasn"t one already!"
