The King and Queen of the Darkwood Fae, Eliadol and Isolde, unleashed devastating Abyssal Darkwood Dominion spells to repel invading spirit beasts, Dream Entities, and demons from their Corrupted Domain. Isolde enslaved a titanic hybrid demon as her loyal familiar to counter the assaults. Agatheina, Alice, and Scarlet convinced them to join Kireina against the Sun God, teleporting their vast domain through the Blood Dimension. Meanwhile, Charlotte and Elektra orchestrated a massive mechanical assimilation, forging a colossal titan mech from allies' essences and machines to challenge the enemy fleets.

"So what if you destroyed one of my bodies?"

The Sun God flung his arms open wide while a new body materialized instantly. All the intense labor they invested in destroying that avatar ended up completely worthless—he owned limitless bodies ready to hurl at them.

His actual form consisted of that ridiculously massive star suspended within the void of outer space, where its brilliance formed a horrifying fusion across endless dimensions.

Whatever came into contact with that glow got pulled inside right away, ripped to shreds, badly wounded, and wiped out in mere seconds.

Only Kireina, her father, her mother, Chaos, Abyss, Kosmos, Ervas, and Veronica managed to repel it and strike back.

They had no option—they stood as the sole ones capable of doing so.

"There's countless more where that one came from! Here, and here! And here! Here! Here!!!"

The Sun God cackled wildly while calling forth hundreds of Avatars, every one pulsing with the identical dreadful might as the first, all rushing ahead toward the group simultaneously.

Yet Kireina stayed composed, flashing a smile and giving a steady nod.

"I see. So ultimately, battling your avatars leads nowhere. We need to hit the true you lurking behind them."

With a sigh, she shut her eyes, breathed out deeply, and reopened them.

RUMBLE!

Her form started swelling to cosmic scales—beginning at planetary size, then ballooning much bigger, and even vaster.

"...?!"

All around gasped in total shock and wonder as Kireina grew to nearly half her full size, matching the far-off sun. Her sword expanded with her, extending over dimensions and realms.

"My true form isn't completely present yet, and I haven't revealed my full strength. Sun God, you better figure out how to battle me—immediately."

"Hahaha! You truly brim with confidence, don't you, my precious Kireina? Show me your capabilities then!"

The Sun God displayed zero irritation whatsoever. After reaching his present realm, he chuckled without restraint. Hundreds of avatars charged at Kireina from all sides, firing Sun God Blade Attacks alongside other assaults.

Kireina quickly looked at Chaos—who had already combined with Abyss and Kosmos—followed by her parents, Ervas, and Veronica.

"We may need to unleash everything like never before," she declared. "If anyone held back any strength, let it loose right now. We're heading directly for that sun."

"Very well!" Veronica agreed with a resolute nod. "Ervas."

"Yes, sister," Ervas responded.

Suddenly, Ervas and Veronica united, briefly reverting to their initial "true form" as the two parts of one entity.

Ervas shifted into a fiery white void soul embedded inside Veronica's jet-black cosmic metal frame, which kept growing without stop, emitting vast ghostly and illusory cosmic flames.

The enormous armor gleamed razor-edged, covered in spikes and decorated with heads from myriad cosmic beasts. Its helmet looked like a spectral phantom with huge blazing eyes resembling nebulas and stars; it bellowed like thunder while a lion-shaped crest topped it; its mane made of scorching white void flames.

Veronica and Ervas blended their powers into a form of supreme dominance. Innumerable eager souls rushed to merge with them, and a Wheel of Reincarnation appeared at their back, declaring them the Fourth Primordial of the Universe.

Myriad weapons burst from their unified metallic frame—swords, spears, axes, hammers, plus extra armor—fusing with Kireina's Khepri and Demon King of Demise armors to craft even stronger gear for the rest.

Chaos, Abyss, and Kosmos, now merged, triggered their Universal Seed's power, which advanced into a Dimensional Seed, bringing their fused state dangerously near Dimensional Ruler level. The armor from Kireina, Ervas, and Veronica boosted and upgraded their outer cosmic vampire dragon physique, expanding it hundreds of times and armoring it heavily.

Meanwhile, Lord Chaos and Khaos locked eyes and gripped hands. Though they had met only moments ago, an instant spark ignited—as if they formed two pieces of the same soul, discovering their lost counterpart in a tie beyond mere love.

Despite this Lord Chaos stemming not from Kireina's soul fragment but from a Parallel Dimension, the link remained fiercely potent.

"Lady Khaos," he whispered. "May I join you in this battle dance?"

"Yes, Lord Chaos," she replied with warmth. "Let us unite as we dance and battle for our beloved daughter together."

FLAAASH!

They hugged and kissed; their forms dissolved into each other, blending into a vast torrent of raw primordial chaos.

The Chaos Plane shook fiercely as half its essence flooded into their fresh form. A Living Dimension arose—one that swelled nonstop until it matched a Chaos Plane, detaching from the source.

Kireina and her siblings observed in awestruck silence as the Primordial Chaos Titan Living Dimension formed: a towering, brawny, genderless humanoid built wholly from Chaotic Universes that endlessly burst and reformed, packed with chaotic stars, chaos nebulas, and abyssal black void oceans.

Its lengthy hair cascaded like the Sea of Emptiness—visually akin, yet distinct. Its eyes burned as two white stars, spewing white chaos flames while glaring fiercely at the Sun God. In its grasp, it shaped a massive black scythe of primordial chaos and dimensional energy.

Even the Sun God sensed the overwhelming pressure crashing upon him and tensed up.

"I won't give up my power! You'll need to shred me into a billion fragments to beat me!"

His Avatar forces rushed ahead. Kireina rapidly shaped Blossoming Defiance in her palms, converting it to weapon mode.

This round, it wasn't a sword. Her Heart embodied numerous shapes—that explained its name, Myriad Forms and Connections.

"Blossoming Defiance – Myriad Forms and Connections."

"Weapon Form – Dimension-Sundering Lance."

While the Infinite Heavens Sword could cut through anything her gaze touched, the Dimension-Sundering Lance held a separate ruinous ability.

And now…

"Heaven And Earth Defying Soul Heart Style."

"Third Form – Pillar of Celestial Enlightenment."

Fused with her Pillar of Celestial Enlightenment, the Dimension-Sundering Lance advanced more, gathering and squeezing all energy into one piercing tip.

RUMBLE!

Kireina drove her spear ahead, releasing hundreds of thrusts against the Sun God's Avatars. Every strike stabbed their forms dozens, then hundreds, then thousands of times, layered in unyielding barrage.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Soon enough, she wiped them out entirely. Cosmic blasts flared repeatedly in a dazzling chain.

"...?!"

The Sun God went quiet, truly stunned as Kireina pushed on, her lance ripping through all obstacles.

His Avatars offered no resistance, crumbling repeatedly into cosmic debris as she closed in.

"You will not even get close."

His voice boomed like thunder. A huge shockwave of dimensional sunlight blasted toward Kireina—but her parents positioned solidly in front, clutching their scythe.

SLAAASH!

They sliced the dimensional sunlight clean in half!

The light parted; the nearby dimensional glow squeezed fiercely and exploded, sparking endless further blasts.

The blend of Khaos and Lord Chaos displayed utterly superior might.

"Enough."

The Sun God uttered icily. Dimensional light appeared all around, striving to smash them still and obliterate them from being.

But Kireina observed her parents' form stretch boundlessly outward, as if spawning a whole new cosmos.

Like a Big Bang!

BOOOMMM!!!

The devouring light disappeared at once amid the apocalyptic blast, leaving the Sun God dazed. He launched the assault again frantically, repeatedly.

Kireina linked up, bearing the load as she stabbed the light itself, shredding it and calling forth the darkness from the tamed Sea of Emptiness.

Her elegant dress of shimmering white cosmic light and dark void merged profoundly, reshaping her into a sublime goddess of the stars.

Primordial Darkness and Light flowed into her lance together. Kireina converted every speck into a Cosmic Ego and Maxima Summon.

FLUOOOSH!

"Third Form – Pillar of Celestial Enlightenment: Dimension-Sundering Spear Of Infinity."

Her spear whirled endlessly, packing energy into one spot until space and time warped under her command.

Then…

RUMBLE!

The spear lunged forth—and the outcome silenced everyone.

BOOOMMM!!!

"Kuaaaaggh?!"

A enormous gap ripped through the Sun God's true body—that distant gigantic star—its plasma shell burned by black and white flames that disrupted its atomic makeup.

"W-What was that…?! You…!"

The Sun God at last regarded Kireina as a real threat. Hundreds of Avatars merged into huge golden hands that pounced at her.

But Kireina pressed on without pause, switching her spear back to the Infinite Heavens Sword and hacking the hands into myriad shards.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

At that instant, her parents stormed her left side, slashing hands and eyes with their enormous scythe and dividing any approaching dimensional sunlight.

On the right, the fused Veronica-Ervas form thundered forward, unleashing billions of cosmic treasure relics that skewered and demolished the Sun God's limbs piece by piece.

Chaos, Abyss, and Kosmos extended a universal domain over the team, guarding against damage, mending injuries, amplifying power, and firing ruinous chaos-forged swords that carved up anything nearing.

With Kireina spearheading, parents guarding left, Veronica-Ervas covering right, and Chaos securing the back, they advanced swiftly.

The Sun God fumed, crafting even bigger Sunlight Dimensional Hands to block them. He piled hundreds, then hurled Sunlight Galaxies—pelting them with massive intergalactic detonations.

BOOOMMM! BOOOMMM! BOOOMMM! BOOOMMM!!!

"This damn bastard never stops, does he?!" Veronica bellowed, swinging her colossal black steel weapons to demolish the hands—only for fresh ones to spawn. Her giant shields repelled the nonstop explosive galaxies.

"To think he can forge Galaxies from pure Sunlight—what kind of madness is this?!" Ervas cried out. "Samsara was nowhere near this monster's level." He conjured White Void Ghostly Flames, spawning millions of monstrous Cosmic Beast Specters that assaulted and blew up on contact.

"We can hold for a while, but his energy reserves and attack scale still outmatch us!" Chaos cautioned, building energy in his nine heads before blasting nine galaxy-shattering beams that preemptively destroyed the incoming galaxies.

Kireina's team got driven back again—but her focus stayed sharp elsewhere. Then, through the ceaseless blasts, she grinned suddenly. The others spotted she had acted once more.

"Don't worry, everyone—I found someone!" Kireina shouted. She gestured with her hand, ripping open a dark portal. Out poured a huge scarab-dragon and a hovering orb packed with the Labyrinth of Madness's might. "Bubu! Silva! And all of you—come out!"

She called her remaining Egos and Maxima Summons, empowering them with the Maxima Universe's total force and boosting them to immense cosmic sizes.

Bubu and Silva swelled the most strikingly. Silva ballooned to moon scale. Her prior dagger shape had warped and reborn in that realm—not as a weapon, but as the Cursed Jewel Core of Yomi, reforged by the Kami of Chaos. Reuniting with her counterpart, Silva opted against refusion; both saw their abilities had split too much.

No issue there. Bubu, meanwhile, took in Kireina's Khepri Armor and the core of her cultivation techniques, morphing into a colossal golden scarab dragon matching the Sun.

"ROOOAAAARRRR!"

The Sun God sneered derisively at Kireina's summoned beasts, now all shining with golden metallic sheen from her transformation essence.

"Hahaha! What can those beasts possibly do? It's not like— Hm?!"

His query resolved itself at once.

FLAAASH!

"G-Gaaahh?!"

His Dimensional Sunlight faced devouring. Kireina had remade her Familiars into actual Dimensional Sunlight Essence Batteries, connected to her, starting to drain the energy.

Her Gluttony Devour vanished post-Heart Ascension due to the pact for enhanced self-reliance.

She couldn't consume light like before—particularly lacking that Pact's gained power.

Thus, Kireina crafted alternatives using her vast array of skills.

"Now—charge, my beasts!"

All her Egos and Maxima Summons took beast shapes—save the Labyrinth of Madness Core, Silva, who inflated sun-sized and outshone countless stars.

Dark purple and yellow gold churned inside her as she enlarged further, forming a huge "Core" that gradually embedded into Kireina's forehead, distributing energy throughout her frame.

Uroboros, the gem formerly in her forehead, assumed its massive serpent shape, gulping down hundreds of galaxies.

Bubu spearheaded the assault, rending everything with his vast draconic insect claws, shredding all barriers.

"Incredible! She flipped the situation instantly?!" Chaos marveled.

"That's our sister," Ervas stated with pride.

"Let's go now!" Veronica yelled.

"We must eliminate him quickly!" Lord Chaos and Khaos proclaimed in unison—their fused being existing as both at once, memories and traits fully integrated for Kireina's benefit.

"He has grown much weaker now that nearly all his enslaved subjects have perished. The power he drew from them is gone," Kireina noted. She empowered her weapon anew, altering its form.

"Blossoming Defiance – Myriad Forms and Connections."

"Weapon Form – Spacetime-Cleaving Abyssal Heavenly Axe."

A dazzling giant axe of heavenly light and abyssal darkness appeared. Kireina wielded it, slicing space and time to swiftly bridge the gap to the sun.

They rocketed beyond Earth, Venus, and Mercury, plunging deeper into space until materializing right before this Solar System's Sun.

Thousands of sparkling golden stars orbited it, each another body of his. They activated at once, gathering power and unleashing interplanetary beams.

Kireina hacked her axe nonstop, dividing the Dimensional Sunlight Essence beams successively—yet strikes battered her repeatedly, shoving her backward.

"You thought getting closer would let you defeat me?! Hahahahaha! You're sorely mistaken! Now it's EASIER for me to destroy you!"

As the Sun God crowed in victory, Kireina peeked over her shoulder. A savage grin lit her face as space and time twisted and a vast portal tore wide.

"Is that so?!"

Brimming with strength from Silva's Core integrated into her forehead, Kireina bellowed and swung her axe at the Sun God despite her wounds. Her parents protected her where possible; her siblings battled with savage resolve.

Until at last—

"They're here."

RUMBLE!

Space and time cracked as a enormous portal burst open. A huge group poured out—many beholding outer space for the first time, filled with wonder at the view.

And directly behind towered a massive Living Planet—Earth herself—arriving to settle this forever, placing her destiny in their hands.

"W-What is the meaning of this?!" the Sun God shrieked, grasping that Kireina had stalled all along. "You were buying time?!"

"That's right!" Kireina announced. "Everyone—you're finally here!"

She scanned the gathered forces: gods, allies, kin—everyone had arrived. It formed a colossal army. Those unfit for vacuum travel—Doctor Frankenstein, the Werewolves, Vampires, and more—commanded giant magical mechs built from their souls and Charlotte's blueprints.

"I don't know what's happening, but I'm in a freaking awesome robot!" Erika shouted with thrill.

"I can feel my power surging inside it!" Harumi said. "B-But why are our parents fine out there?"

"Bwahahaha! Outer space ain't so bad, eh?" Beowulf boomed with laughter.

"As I thought, we aren't really affected that much," Clementine agreed with a nod.

"Hmm, it's refreshingly cold," Wasp grinned. "Kireina-sama, Lord Chaos—we are here."

"To think I would fight alongside my son and daughter today…" Doctor Victor Frankenstein sobbed, embracing both inside their huge mech.

"Tsk, I'm only doing this to save the planet! And maybe the universe!" Frankenstein growled.

"I'm so happy to meet you, big brother!" Franky grinned brightly.

"A-Ah, yeah…" Frankenstein grumbled, feigning coolness, though his little sister had melted his heart.

"We brought some guests as well, Kireina-sama!" Medea bellowed. "Agatheina!"

"Yes!" Agatheina's voice echoed. A immense scarlet centipede of countless stars and dimensional shards materialized.

It was Scarlet, carrying the Corrupted Dominion of the Darkwood Fae. The King and Queen of the Darkwood Fae—matching Clementine and Beowulf in power—appeared upon her, ideally adapted for space survival.

"I hate that this is how we finally meet, my dear granddaughter," Eliadol, King of the Darkwood Fae, stated. "But seeing you battle like this fills me with immense pride."

"Indeed, my dearest. So please, let your grandpa and grandma lend their strength!" Isolde, the Queen, chimed in. "They explained what's truly happening. This must be the greatest family reunion of all time—spanning two entire lifetimes, huh?"

"Hahaha! Perhaps, grandmother!" Kireina chuckled. "It's wonderful to meet you both for the first time. I wish it could have been under better circumstances. But… please lend us your strength, as the strongest Spirits of our world."

"Incredible—it's really them!" Sofelaia exclaimed. "They ref
