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

With the Seventh Chaos King dead and Obhedhrur now siding with Kireina after his betrayal, the five remaining Chaos Kings shared a mocking laugh. Even as it seemed the odds were finally leveling out, to them, it felt entirely unchanged.

"And what if you have betrayed us?"

"We genuinely do not care."

"It is actually better this way."

"I will take great joy in slaughtering you, Obhedhrur!"

"Come then, let us fight until one of us falls! That is the only purpose we, as Entities birthed from the Primordial Chaos, were ever meant to serve!"

The Five Chaos Kings let out a simultaneous roar and charged at Kireina and Obhedhrur. Kireina could feel the massive scale of strength radiating from each of them, though their precise Realm remained a mystery.

Yet, judging by the prowess shown by their so-called "weakest member"—the one Obhedhrur destroyed after Kireina softened him up—they were certainly at the level of a Celestial Vessel or higher.

Kireina speculated they might even have attained the realm of Ascending Nirvana. Still, she recognized they were not true mythical Immortals, for one undeniable fact: one of their own had been killed.

According to Wasp, True Immortals existed fundamentally as concepts within the fabric of reality, rendering them nearly impossible, if not completely impossible, to destroy.

He gained this knowledge mostly from ancient tomes pilfered during his youth while raiding various Sects throughout the Eastern Heavenly Domains.

Even so, if they were indeed all Ascending Nirvana, this confrontation would be a monumental struggle.

However, it was a risk Kireina was prepared to wager her life upon.

Because even at this moment, she had yet to unleash her full capacity; even she had not yet discovered her own limit!

Having awakened as a member of the Heart Tribe, Obhedhrur felt his Consciousness expand significantly. His half-mechanical frame swelled in size as his power erupted unchecked.

"I am unsure what you did to me, but I offer you my gratitude… this power is magnificent!" Obhedhrur chuckled.

"I only helped you cultivate the tiny seed you were already nurturing," Kireina responded. "Now…"

Unlike the various Gods she had faced previously on the surface, she could not read the Chaos Kings. Relying on telepathy, she asked Obhedhrur to identify them, their specialties, and any potential weaknesses.

Obhedhrur replied immediately, relaying a wealth of data regarding the five:

The Sixth Chaos King, Raklextr. Specialty: Physical Combat. Weakness: Magic.

The Fourth Chaos King, Sermethk. Specialty: Damage Absorption. Weakness: Soul-based attacks.

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

The Second Chaos King, Zeleterr. Specialty: Mastery of all Weapons. Weakness: A superior fighter, Humiliation.

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

Abyssian, the First Chaos King, was clearly the most formidable. Despite his best efforts, Obhedhrur had never discovered a flaw in this titan. It was the reason he dominated the vastest territory within the Primordial Chaos Plane.

Yet, Obhedhrur believed Kireina might be his equal—her mastery over Space and Time seemed to rival or even exceed his own.

Thus, Kireina set her sights on the greatest threat: Abyssian.

Obhedhrur went after the second strongest: Zeleterr.

Amaterasu-no-Tsukuyomi challenged Territtiii.

Kireina's wives moved to engage Sermethk.

Izanami pitted herself against Raklextr.

As for Ryo, Amiphossia, and the others? They acted as support, shifting targets and exploiting weaknesses wherever they emerged.

And so, a battle of chaotic proportions broke out.

"Foolish Chaos Spawn, do you truly believe you can target the First Chaos King in hopes of slaying the strongest first?"

Abyssian stood before Kireina, his Aura surging incessantly. He resembled a dark knight encased in sharp, jagged armor adorned with pulsing red eyes. His helmet depicted a snarling black lion with a mane of crimson. He brandished no weapons, relying solely on his elongated, claw-like gauntlets.

"Indeed, I do."

Kireina stepped forward. Abyssian met her with arms flung wide. Reality warped as her blade struck downward.

TRUUUM!

Suddenly, Kireina found herself elsewhere—millions of light years away.

"...Huh."

She scanned the emptiness with her eyes.

She had been shifted to the furthest reaches of the cosmos.

But this did not faze her.

"I see. He didn't even consider me worth a serious fight, did he? Hah!"

She slashed her sword into the empty air.

Her Heart reached out to the Hearts she had helped bloom.

And in a heartbeat.

FLASH!

Her blade reappeared before Abyssian once more. His numerous crimson eyes widened in surprise.

"Hm?!"

The sword bit into his armor, slicing through it with rapid precision.

"Tsk!"

He clicked his tongue and invoked his power again. Kireina's movements were instantly reversed as chaotic forces tampered with time.

The wound vanished as if the strike had never occurred.

Kireina was tossed back to the depths of the universe.

Yet she pressed on.

Again.

And again.

And again.

Each attempt allowed her to slowly unravel his technique.

Then, she absorbed the surrounding expanse of the universe she had been sent to, channeling it through her Heavenly Domain Aura.

She infused that energy into her sword.

And once more.

She stood before him, leaving him no room to catch his breath.

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

This time, Abyssian gathered his Spacetime Chaos Energy and hurled it at her. A sphere enclosed her, erasing both space and time simultaneously. Kireina's sword met the strike head-on, triggering a blast that vaporized everything in their vicinity.

BOOOMMM!!!

"Hoooh, that strange technique again," Abyssian remarked. "I see. So that is how it functions. You can negate my power to a certain degree..."

"I would not say entirely," Kireina replied, her sword glowing with a celestial light. "But let us continue our lesson!"

"Hmph. I will erase you from existence, insolent child," Abyssian roared. His claws shredded the fabric of space and time, crushing it into a churning sea of distorted chaos that surged toward Kireina.

"Ngh?!"

Kireina gritted her teeth as the wave of chaos threatened to wipe her from existence entirely.

Abyssian laughed—only to cough up blood.

SLASH!

"Kuaaagh?!"

SLASH!

SLASH!

SLASH!

SLASH!

SLASH!

Within seconds, his body was covered in hundreds of deep lacerations.

"I-Impossible!"

He witnessed the unthinkable once more. Each strike tore apart the reality he had attempted to erase. Kireina flickered in and struck again.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

And again.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

And again, and again, and again!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

"Nnngghh…!"

Abyssian groaned in pain. He focused his entire might into his palms and lashed out against the constraints of reality.

TRUUUM!

All the inflicted damage began to rewind with extreme speed.

Nevertheless, because Kireina had dealt so much damage in such a short window, his regeneration struggled to keep pace.

He gathered the surrounding time and space as if they were solid objects, forging them into a massive scythe.

"I am more than a mere magic user! You stand before the one and only Abyssian, the conqueror of the Chaos Plane!"

Abyssian roared, swinging the colossal weapon with expert speed. Slashes of corrupted spacetime lashed out, annihilating chaos as they traveled. Kireina parried with her Celestial Pillar of Enlightenment in its permanent state—it was the only way she could hold her ground.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Kireina was not alone. Her Heart Avatars sprouted forth, manifesting the forms and powers of her kin within her Divine Realm: Agatheina, Alice, Alucard, Jeanna, and the rest.

They supported her, elevating their combined power into the Planes of Soul and Fate, acting as conduits for Kireina's blows as they battered Abyssian with overwhelming force.

"Nnnggh…! HAAAAHH!"

But then he roared. His Aura detonated as Abyssian chose to stop holding back, unsealing his true, devastating strength.

"Not bad!"

His body mended itself instantaneously, transforming as he grew to twice his size with six additional arms—each holding a weapon forged from pure spacetime.

"But certainly not enough! Hahaha! You should have devoured the Seventh's corpse when you had the chance, Chaos Spawn! YOU ARE LACKING IN CHAOTIC POWER, UNLIKE US! SOVEREIGNS OF CHAOS!"

Abyssian guffawed as his aura expanded, distorting and silencing everything near him. Among all the Chaos Kings, his martial might remained absolutely unmatched.

"I have no need for such things."

Kireina sliced through the erased reality. Her sense of true Defiance blossomed.

Abyssian suddenly realized he was standing within a field of crimson, obsidian, and violet roses, their stems lined with razor-sharp thorns.

A blood-red moon climbed the horizon, eclipsing a black star.

And then…

"Heaven And Earth Defying Soul Heart Style."

"First Form – Crimson Eclipse Bloom!!!"

Kireina unleashed a roar as she brought her blade down. She shattered her own existence into a billion petals—each a facet of her soul, each a testament to her defiance against utter despair. Every petal became a lethal attack. She layered this alongside her Pillar of Celestial Enlightenment: Timeline-Splitting Sword, forging an even more catastrophic assault.

"Kuaaaaah?!"

Abyssian could neither parry nor interrupt the strike. His entire form was engulfed by 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 you!"

He roared in a bestial tone, tearing through the relentless barrage, and attempted to rewind time to heal. He unsealed every last bit of his power until he operated at one hundred percent.

"ENOUGH!"

RUMBLE!

Kireina's assault was halted. A massive fist composed of condensed time and space struck her, hurling her across the universe, beyond its borders, and deep into a Sea of Emptiness.

SPLAAASH!

She vanished into the Sea of Emptiness, slowly sinking into its endless, silent depths.
