Epic of Caterpillar Chapter 2919 - 2920: Heaven-Surpassing Infinite Self

Kireina bridged the gap between her current position and the spot where she had stood only moments prior.

Bolstered by the strength of Chaos and her siblings, and empowered further by her absorption of the Maxima Universe…

Kireina now commanded the might to execute this feat with absolute ease!

Consequently.

SLASH!

With a lone swing of her blade, she materialized in Yomi—or rather, within the gaping void left behind after Abyssian had decimated half of it, obliterating it from existence.

She did not squander a single second. She assaulted his visage, rallying the others with words that echoed sentiments she had gathered during her arrival.

Every soul present was engaged in a battle to safeguard something they held dear.

Abyssian sensed her presence—an unstoppable force rushing toward him.

A boundless darkness expanded in every direction, only to be ignited by the emergence of a crimson moon that eclipsed the shadow cast by a black star.

By casting her into the Sea of Emptiness, he had inadvertently fueled her evolution!

Heaven And Earth Defying Soul Heart Style.

First Form – Crimson Eclipse Bloom!

Kireina bellowed, bringing her sword down with crushing force. She fragmented her very essence into a multitude of petals—each one a sliver of her soul, serving as a defiant stand against hopelessness. Every petal struck at Abyssian, who parried with everything he had. Nevertheless, his Spacetime Chaos Barriers were shredded into countless fragments.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

D-Damn it! Why?! Just what is wrong with this wretched dimension?! Every single insignificant worm here qualifies as an anomaly capable of challenging me?! Abyssian roared. He braced his physique and distorted the fabric of reality, turning existence itself into his instrument. He battered Kireina with an array of strikes powerful enough to shatter entire galaxies.

BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!

However, every blow dissipated without causing harm. His gaze widened as the realization dawned on him: Kireina’s attire was the Sea of Emptiness manifested—integrated into a Cosmic Relic, a Maxima Summon, and a sentient Cosmic Spirit Ego. It was bound to her by unwavering fealty.

N-No way!

Abyssian could hardly process the sight. The Sea of Emptiness neutralized the impact of every strike while simultaneously sapping his vitality.

I must target the areas where her dress offers no protection!

His fists erupted in Spacetime-burning Chaos Flames. He assaulted Kireina’s face incessantly. Meanwhile, her blade continued to carve through his form. A garden of permanent cosmic luster bloomed—radiant, multi-colored flora unfurling in the air.

And…

Ah?!

A freezing sensation raced down Abyssian’s spine. Kireina’s face remained entirely unblemished. He instinctively retreated, stumbling back once, then twice, as he swallowed hard, realizing she had transcended her former self.

You done?

Kireina’s sword morphed into a spire of light and shadows, merging the Sea of Emptiness with her Myriad Forms and Connections, paired with her Blossoming Defiance.

Second Form – Defiance of the Nine Heavens!

Third Form – Pillar of Celestial Enlightenment!

Fourth Form – Heaven-Surpassing Infinite Self!

Kireina unleashed a trio of techniques simultaneously. The Defiance of the Nine Heavens fractured the star-drenched sky, revealing nine immense heavens piled high above the Sun and Moon Domain. Her blade cleaved through them—not to eradicate, but to rewrite their fundamental laws.

Every heaven shattered. Torrents of illumination and darkness, chaos and blessings gushed from the fissures, weaving into a unified stream that morphed into a blade without end. Her Infinite Heavens Sword laid bare its true nature.

Her Pillar of Celestial Enlightenment manifested with immense scale, casting its glow across the planes. Then, Kireina infused the nine broken heavens with the Sea of Emptiness, achieving her fourth form: Heaven-Surpassing Infinite Self.

As Abyssian attempted to rewrite and annul her existence using Spacetime Manipulation bordering on Reality Manipulation, Kireina multiplied herself endlessly—stacking her presence infinitely across the myriad dimensions her blade pierced.

Thus.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

Gaaaahh?!

With the combined might of dozens of stacked dimensions and realms, Abyssian was struck millions of times in an instant. His physical frame rapidly disintegrated into ash.

IMPOSSIBLEEEEEEEE!

Abyssian retaliated in desperation, rewinding the threads of time and clawing his way back from the jaws of death. Even as Kireina unleashed her full arsenal, he crawled back from the void, shouting in agony. His knightly silhouette warped into a grotesque, shapeless mass.

As long…! As long as I possess this Heart Path power I can…!

He grinned malevolently as hundreds of Heart Avatars swarmed Kireina from every vector, striking with Spacetime-burning Chaos Flames. She dismantled them easily, yet their sheer volume began to impede her momentum.

As long as I…! As long as I…!

While his claws continued to scrape away from the abyssal void, suddenly…

A presence stirred within him, opening its eyes.

That heart is mine, Abyssian.

Guh?!

Abyssian lurched, vomiting blood as he failed to grasp the situation. A massive, black mechanical instrument—an enormous pile driver—erupted from his chest and pulverized his Chaos Heart.

From that gaping wound, Obhedhrur, the Fifth King of Chaos, emerged to reclaim his essence after being trapped within Abyssian.

Kireina severed our connection through her technique! How fortuitous! I owe her more than you could grasp… So please, perish, Abyssian!

Obhedhrur laughed. He manifested a dozen massive pile drivers forged from his Chaotic Heart Essence, bombarding Abyssian with relentless, catastrophic impacts that tore his body asunder in rhythm with Kireina’s slashes.

GUUAAAAHHHH!

Deprived of the Heart Tribe’s power, his Heart Avatars detonated and faded into nothingness. Finally, his very existence was erased in a cataclysmic explosion.

BOOOMMM!!!

Following the massive blast, Kireina and Obhedhrur exchanged a look of mutual confidence.

Well done, Obhedhrur. It was a gamble, but I held onto hope that you were still within there somewhere.

The moment my Heart awakened; I was no longer the same as him. Unlike the other Chaos Kings, he failed to fully assimilate me—he merely kept me captive.

I see.

Kireina nodded, descending toward her kin and companions. Her father rushed toward her alongside her wives and children. In the periphery, her maids had arrived, watching the scene in complete astonishment.

Kireina! You survived!

Her father pulled her into a powerful embrace. The mysterious schoolgirls, her wives, and her children joined in.

Father…! Yes, I am here, Kireina answered.

Kireina, these young women claim to be your wives?! her father asked a moment later. A-And those children, your offspring?! What is occurring? I-I don’t understand any of this…

It is a lengthy tale, but they speak the truth, Kireina replied with a smile. Numerous individuals from our world were reincarnated from another. Eventually, we recovered our past lives. I am among them. Those who claim to be my wives and children truly are—reincarnated into this realm while clinging to those memories.

T-That’s actually possible?! someone shouted from the distance. Kireina recognized Erika’s voice instantly.

Yes, it is, Erika, Kireina nodded. We originated from far away—from other worlds… I regret not sharing the truth sooner. The laws of this world forbade it, threatening to consume these precious recollections. But now that those laws have been fractured, the truth can be spoken without cost.

I-I see… Lord Chaos muttered. I… I believe I understand now, so that is why…

Many pieces fell into place for those around her—explaining her intellect, her talents, and her overall demeanor.

It is alright… if you no longer view me as your daughter, Kireina shared with a bittersweet smile. It would only be fair if you—

What are you babbling about?! her father barked. You are my daughter regardless of the circumstances, Kireina! I am simply overjoyed you are here… And if these are truly the people you cherished in a past life, then that is even better! Our family has expanded! Hahaha!

Dad…! Kireina wept tears of joy, clinging to him.

Mom!

Mommy!

Ryo and Amiphossia surged forward, wrapping her in their massive frames—bodies that now stood far taller than her own.

Y-You two are unharmed… I’m so relieved…! Kireina sighed. Eh? Wait, what is that sword…

This is Evan! Amiphossia declared. I’m unsure how, but he manifested as a legendary sword upon reincarnating here…

Y-Yeah… Evan muttered with a sigh. At the very least, I possess more utility now than I ever did before.

Well, I am happy you’ve returned as well, my son-in-law, Kireina said. She brushed Evan’s blade, igniting his Heart Path. Almost instantly, he shifted from steel to a solid, humanoid form—constructed not of ether, but of divine blood and flesh. There.

Woah! A handsome, blonde hero stood before them; Amiphossia beamed, pulling him into a delighted embrace. Hahaha! T-Thank you so much, Kireina-sama!

Just call me mother-in-law, darling, Kireina smiled warmly. I apologize for any coldness I showed you in the past, Evan. I only hope you can offer forgiveness… even if you cannot, I understand.

Y-You have genuinely transformed… Evan murmured. I forgave you long ago, mother-in-law. Please, do not worry! More importantly, is our child alright? Has the egg cracked yet?

Not yet, Kireina shook her head. The child has been waiting for their parents. Come to my Divine Realm at once.

Yes!

Understood!

Concerned for their future, Amiphossia and Evan vanished into Kireina’s Divine Realm. Meanwhile, she observed the rest of the group reuniting.

Izanami was slowly regaining her strength, Frank perched upon her shoulders.

Kireina! I suppose we are finally finished here, Frank noted. But the surface remains in ruins. We must descend to assist them.

Yes, I concur, Kireina nodded. Is everyone prepared?

Kireina addressed her allies. She noticed a few of her lost wives—who, upon seeing her, sprinted toward her position.

Nixephine, Nefertiti, Sofarpia, and Sofelaia—all breathtaking goddesses—left the onlookers in awe once again.

J-Just how many reincarnated wives does this girl have?! Erika exclaimed in disbelief. And was she this much of a romantic for women beforehand? Wow.

A-And they are all incredibly powerful goddesses, too! Harumi asked. Kireina is certainly… efficient, I suppose.

Uh, well yeah, you’ll grow accustomed to it, Mammon muttered. Harumi, Clementine, and the remaining Vampires tilted their heads, curious as to why he seemed so intimately familiar with her past.

Bwahahaha! That is quite the family! Beowulf laughed heartily. Ulric! I wish you could join us so we could celebrate as brothers…!

He will be deeply missed… Thyra wept.

Indeed… Celene agreed. Both sisters clung to their older brother’s arms, sobbing. Beowulf comforted them with a warm hug, patting their shoulders gently.

Though his demeanor was consistently upbeat, he harbored a deep well of grief. He slid his sunglasses into place, hiding the tears streaming down his face, and smoked his cigar in silence.

I’m so relieved we are together at last, Sofarpia stated.

Yeah! I missed you all! Sofelaia added.

It has been an eternity… we struggled so heavily to find this moment! Nixephine sighed. Is our baby, Scarlet, doing well?

She is fine, Kireina nodded. I wished to keep her out of these conflicts for the time being…

That was a wise decision, dear, Nefertiti agreed. She is still but an infant. We adults must shoulder the burden and fight to ensure their safety… well, not all of us are infants anymore, are we?

Nefertiti glanced toward Ryo and Amiphossia, who had matured significantly. While Amiphossia and Evan had moved ahead, Ryo remained at their side—fully grown, filling Kireina and Zehe with pride.

Well done, son. You do your mothers proud, Kireina praised.

Truly! Zehe added. You are my greatest treasure!

Thank you, haha… Ryo chuckled, scratching his head bashfully. Hey, Sadako, you can stop fusing with me now…

I’m too embarrassed to know what to say anymore… Sadako’s voice drifted through his mind. Ryo sighed and let out a shrug.

Oh well… he muttered.

Kireina nodded. The words had been spoken. The time had come to advance—there could be no more delay. The fate of the world rested with them.

Very well! No more time to lose. The future of our world is at stake! Let us hurry!

She expanded her Aura, shielding the group, and soared past Yomi toward the World of the Living.

As they traversed the distance, Izanami’s wounds fully closed. Kireina’s cosmic soul energy purified her existence, reviving her entirely and forming a new, suitable body from the galaxies woven into her Inner Universal Body—a product of the Maxima Universe.

FLAAASH!

Upon arriving at Earth’s surface, everyone sensed it instantly.

A haunting silence permeated the air.

And the sun hung overhead, burning with an oppressive intensity—so brilliant and scorched that even Amaterasu felt her skin blister.

W-What is happening?! This sweltering heat…! Kireina muttered, gritting her teeth. This signature is…! YOU?!

The sun above suddenly cracked open, revealing two glowing blue eyes. It glared down at them with effortless authority and absolute might.

You’ve finally arrived, Kireina. I have been eagerly awaiting your return. Welcome to my ideal world—a place where all living beings bow to the sun… to me!
