Epic Of Caterpillar

Chapter 2915 - 2916: Kireina VS Abyssian, The First King of Chaos

-----

With the Seventh Chaos King dead and Obhedhrur having betrayed them to join Kireina, the five remaining Chaos Kings laughed. Even though it felt like the scales had finally evened… to them, it didnʼt feel that way at all.

”And so what if you betray us?”

”We donʼt care.”

”Itʼs better this way.”

”Iʼll gladly slaughter you, Obhedhrur!”

”Come, let us fight to the death! For thatʼs the only thing we, Entities born from the Primordial Chaos, were born for!”

The Five Chaos Kings roared and charged Kireina and Obhedhrur together. Kireina could sense that each one radiated immense strength. Their exact Realm remained unclear.

But based on the power of their supposed ”weakest member”—the one Obhedhrur had slain after Kireina weakened him—they were at least Celestial Vessel or beyond.

Kireina suspected they might even be Ascending Nirvana. Yet she knew they werenʼt truly like the mythical Immortals beyond that realm, for one very clear reason: one of them had died.

According to Wasp, True Immortals existed as concepts within reality and were immensely difficult—if not outright impossible—to kill.

He knew this mostly from the ancient books he had stolen during his youth while raiding Sects in the Eastern Heavenly Domains.

Still, if they truly were all Ascending Nirvana, this would be an enormous challenge.

But it was one Kireina was willing to stake her life on.

Because even now she had not yet unleashed her true power, and even she did not know her own upper limit!

Having awakened as a Heart Tribe member, Obhedhrur felt his Consciousness expand even further. His half-mechanical body grew larger still, and his power surged wildly.

”I donʼt know what you did to me, but I must thank you… this power is incredible!” Obhedhrur laughed.

”I merely helped you nurture the little seed you were already developing,” Kireina replied. ”Now…”

Unlike with the Gods she had encountered on the surface, she could not read the Chaos Kings. Through telepathy, she asked Obhedhrur who they were, along with their specialties and weaknesses.

Obhedhrur responded instantly, sending her a vast amount of information about all five:

The Sixth Chaos King, Raklextr. Specialization: Physical Attacks. Weakness: Magic.

The Fourth Chaos King, Sermethk. Specialization: Damage Absorption. Weakness: Soul Attacks.

The Third Chaos King, Territtiii. Specialization: Matter Manipulation. Weakness: Consciousness Attacks.

The Second Chaos King, Zeleterr. Specialization: All Weapon Techniques. Weakness: A More Skilled Fighter, Humiliation.

The First Chaos King, Abyssian. Specialization: Spacetime Warping. Weakness: None.

Abyssian, the First Chaos King, was also the strongest. No matter how hard Obhedhrur had tried, he had never uncovered any weakness in this monster. There was a reason he ruled the largest territory in the Primordial Chaos Plane.

Yet Obhedhrur was convinced Kireina might match him—her command over Space and Time rivaled or perhaps even surpassed his.

Thus Kireina targeted the biggest threat: Abyssian.

Obhedhrur pursued the second strongest: Zeleterr.

Amaterasu-no-Tsukuyomi went after Territtiii.

Kireinaʼs wives engaged Sermethk.

And Izanami took on Raklextr.

As for Ryo, Amiphossia, and everyone else? They would assist wherever needed, switching targets and striking weak points as they appeared.

Thus a battle of chaotic proportions erupted.

”Foolish Chaos Spawn, you dare target the First Chaos King in hopes of slaying the strongest first?”

Abyssian faced Kireina, his Aura surging endlessly. He resembled a black knight clad in sharp armor studded with eye-shaped red jewels. His helmet took the form of a roaring black lion with a red mane. He wielded no weapons beyond his long, claw-like gauntlets.

”Yes, I do.”

Kireina pressed forward. Abyssian met her with arms spread wide. Space and Time warped as her sword descended toward him.

TRUUUM!

And then Kireina found herself somewhere else—millions of light years away.

”…Huh.”

Her eye scanned the void.

She had been teleported to the outer reaches of the universe.

But that did not trouble her.

”I see. He didnʼt even consider me worth fighting properly, huh? Hah!”

She swung her sword against empty space.

Her Heart connected to the Hearts she had allowed to blossom.

And then, in an instant.

FLASH!

Her sword reached Abyssian once more. His many crystalized crimson eyes widened.

”Hm?!”

The blade struck his armor and began slicing through it rapidly.

”Tsk!”

He clicked his tongue and used his powers again. Kireinaʼs action reversed instantly as chaotic forces manipulated time.

The wound vanished as though it had never existed.

Kireina found herself back in the outer reaches of the universe.

But she pressed on.

Again.

And again.

And again.

Each time she tried something new, slowly unraveling his technique.

Then she absorbed the surrounding universe she had been sent to through her Heavenly Domain Aura.

She fused it with her sword.

And once more.

She appeared before him, giving him not even a second to breathe.

”Third Form – Pillar of Celestial Enlightenment: Timeline-Splitting Sword.”

This time Abyssian gathered Spacetime Chaos Energy and fired it at her. It enveloped her in a sphere that erased both space and time. Kireinaʼs Timeline-Splitting Sword met the attack head-on, triggering a tremendous explosion that obliterated everything around them.

BOOOMMM!!!

”Hoooh, that bizarre technique again,” Abyssian said. ”I see. So thatʼs what it does. You can cancel my power to an extent…”

”I wouldnʼt say completely,” Kireina replied, her sword gleaming with cosmic light. ”But letʼs keep experimenting!”

”Hmph. I will erase you from existence, insolent child,” Abyssian roared. His claws tore through the fabric of space and time, compressing it into an eternal sea of distorted chaotic energies that crashed toward Kireina.

”Ngh?!”

Kireina clenched her teeth as the wave of chaos began rapidly erasing her until nothing remained.

Abyssian laughed—only to vomit blood.

SLASH!

”Kuaaagh?!”

SLASH!

SLASH!

SLASH!

SLASH!

SLASH!

His entire body suddenly bore hundreds of slashes.

”I-Impossible!”

He witnessed the impossible once more. Each slash opened fragments of the reality he had erased. Kireina reappeared swiftly and struck again.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

And again.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

And again.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

And again, again, again!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

”Nnngghh…!”

Abyssian groaned. He concentrated all his power on his palms and exerted it upon existence.

TRUUUM!

All damage began reversing rapidly.

But because Kireina had inflicted so much in so little time, his regeneration lagged longer than expected.

He seized time and space as though they were tangible and shaped them into a long scythe.

”I am not someone who merely uses magic! You face the one and only Abyssian, conqueror of the Chaos Plane!”

Abyssian roared and swung the gigantic scythe with incredible dexterity. Slashes of spacetime that deleted chaotic power reached Kireina. She countered with her Celestial Pillar of Enlightenment in permanent mode—the only way she could resist.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Kireina was not fighting alone. Her Heart Avatars manifested, carrying the forms and powers of her family within her Divine Realm: Agatheina, Alice, Alucard, Jeanna, and the rest.

They assisted her, elevating their power to the Planes of Soul and then Fate, becoming extensions of Kireinaʼs attacks as they battered Abyssian with ever-increasing damage.

”Nnnggh…! HAAAAHH!”

But he roared. His Aura exploded as Abyssian decided to take things seriously, unsealing part of his true power.

”Not bad!”

His body healed instantly and transformed, growing twice as large with six new arms—each wielding a weapon forged from spacetime itself.

”But certainly not enough! Hahaha! You should have eaten the Seventhʼs corpse when you were offered it, Chaos Spawn! YOU SEVERELY LACK CHAOTIC POWER, UNLIKE US! SOVEREIGNS OF CHAOS!”

Abyssian laughed as his power spread everywhere, distorting and then erasing reality around him. Among all Chaos Kings, his strength truly stood unparalleled.

”I donʼt need such a thing.”

Kireina split through the erased space and time. Her Defiance blossomed.

Then Abyssian found himself within a garden of red, black, and purple roses lined with sharp thorns.

A crimson moon rose on the horizon, eclipsing a black star.

And then…

”Heaven And Earth Defying Soul Heart Style.”

”First Form – Crimson Eclipse Bloom!!!”

Kireina roared and swung her sword downward. She twisted her existence into countless petals—each a fragment of her soul, each fragment a defiance against despair. Each petal became an attack. She stacked this with her Pillar of Celestial Enlightenment: Timeline-Splitting Sword, creating an even more devastating assault.

”Kuaaaaah?!”

Abyssian could neither counter nor stop it in time. His entire body was covered in thousands, then millions, then billions and trillions of slashes.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

”D-Damn it!”

He roared monstrously, tore through the slashing barrage, and rewound time to recover rapidly. He unsealed even more of his power until he reached one hundred percent.

”ENOUGH!”

RUMBLE!

Kireinaʼs technique was interrupted. A giant fist of time and space struck her and sent her flying through the universe, then beyond it, and even further into a Sea of Emptiness.

SPLAAASH!

She fell into the Sea of Emptiness, sinking into its eternal depths.
