Chapter 604 - [Fated Encounters: Nyzzet"s Labyrinth Conquest] 66/?: Caught In Between Devilish Girls!
-----
Kheseerad escaped to a new Pocket s.p.a.ce, barely running away with his life after having sacrificed four G.o.ds Souls. Those G.o.ds were the G.o.ds he had captured and stolen everything from them. He had saved their souls through a special seal using his s.p.a.ce Attribute Magic, saving them for whenever he acquired the power of the Divinity Devouring Skill, which seemingly gave its wielders the ability to merge divinities without any issues.
Kheseerad counted such sacrifices and decided to exchange them for his life. Kireina had been close to eating him entirely, giving away such riches was necessary for his survival, and he put such thoughts deeply engraved on his mind.
"I escaped with my life… But I am still trapped in here nonetheless, even in a new Pocket s.p.a.ce, it"s barely moving through the distorted s.p.a.ce left by Kireina! d.a.m.n it!"
Kheseerad felt as if he had not completely escaped from the trap itself, he had simply found a new hole inside the box to escape from the hands of its captor… he could not simply escape as Kireina kept creating more layers of her Domain, which distorted s.p.a.ce through the creation of a pseudo–Dream World with each layer!
Kheseerad left four Divine Souls for Kireina to be distracted with, as he tried to run away from her Domain by "digging" even harder than before…
However, he did not count on Zudig wanting to devour them as well, making somehow of competence between Kireina and him over the four Divine Souls released, which were desperately trying to escape while attacking anything at sight.
"I have to escape… I have to escape…!"
However, although he managed to escape… Zehe and her party were still nearby…
"He has deeply weakened now, and has even released four souls that he was saving for himself… meaning that he"s very desperate and slowly losing options! Girls do your best!" said Kireina"s voice from within the mechanical giant, as her split souls on it flashed with an almost endless source of energy, fueling the metallic behemoth as it formed enormous bat-like wings on its back, which it flapped, moving at an immense speed, and catching up back with Kheseerad in an instant!
"Alright, girls don"t give up on it yet! Honey is backing us up! Let us go again!" said Zehe, as Mady, Ismena, and Nanako cheered and controlled the giant mech once again, taking upon the skies.
Flas.h.!.+
Dozens of magic circles suddenly covered the enormous, black-colored metallic giant where the four girls were, as dozens of spells were cast, giving the giant the ability to slowly distort s.p.a.ce, finding where Kheseerad exactly was and beginning yet once again their attack!
Clas.h.!.+
"Ah! It cannot be! That fast?!"
Kheseerad was taken aback as he saw the enormous claws breaking through the layers of s.p.a.ce and slowly approaching him!
"Go away! I will not… I won"t die!"
Crack, crack!
"There is no running away from us, little spider!"
"Go away! Get awaaaaaay! s.p.a.ce Wave! s.p.a.ce Bullets! s.p.a.ce Threads! s.p.a.ce Distortion!!!"
The enormous claws began to break through the layers, slowly opening them wider and wider… Kheseerad shrieked in anger and desperation as he began his counterattack, releasing countless Divine Techniques that were not that good offensively.
Meanwhile, as this scenario unleashed, Kireina and Zudig competed for the new snacks on stage, Kireina"s allies worked together to stop Zudig"s expanding flesh, while Kireina extended her Aura and tentacles around the battlefield, trying to catch the G.o.ds.
A G.o.d resembling an enormous demon with a hammer shark head and covered in red scales and flames was the first one to notice Kireina"s intention, running away from her Divine Aura and Tentacles with great speed, resembling a flas.h.i.+ng meteor.
"GRRAWWL! GRRYAR!"
Although it seemingly was a G.o.d, its nature and roars seemed to be like those of a wild beast… It seemed as if Kheseerad had experimented in these Divine Souls before, most probably trying to erode the minds out of the G.o.ds so they could simply become a simple material and nothing else… ending in their minds becoming like those of wild beasts.
All four of these G.o.ds released did not possess any Divine Techniques, and were seemingly only attacking with their own Souls as weapons, which would inevitably weaken them
The Unnamed Flame G.o.d roared in anger, as it began to breathe Divine Flames around its surroundings, trying to defend itself from Kireina"s flesh and Aura, while Zudig tailed him from behind as well.
"GRRYARR!"
The hammer shark-headed demon Flame G.o.d raised its arms as it released a wave of burning flames that made Zudig"s flesh retreat, as it seems still retained that weakness to flames, which were even stronger than those of Truhan as they were released by a G.o.d.
However, Kireina"s tentacles and appendages seemed completely fine, as if they were almost immune to the flames, the Flame G.o.d glanced at her flesh constantly expanding as it tried to evade, and noticing that the entire flesh was covered in thin layers of barriers, Aegis, alongside another barrier of semi-transparent orange colors, a defensive spell created through Helios.
And alongside those two barriers, there was a strange and fiery presence around her flesh and aura as if another ent.i.ty were shrouding her whole being… this was Vulcan"s presence, from within Kireina"s Inner Realm: Dream World.
Vulcan was the "Lava Golem" which used to be one of Kireina"s avatar that she used to explore Hephaestus" Dream World and rescue Palikoi from it, now she had developed into a G.o.ddess of Dreams similar to Bilili, which was able to enhance Kireina"s Fire Attribute and Earth Attribute Strength and Defenses.
A weakened Fire Attribute G.o.d without a Divine Core, nor a Physical Body, simply did not stand a chance against Kireina. Even less when it could not conjure any Divine Technique and it could only use Mortal Spells and its own Divine Soul as a weapon.
"With Aegis, Helios, and Vulcan at my side, your flames are useless! Unless you were to use Divine Techniques, you are nothing but a snack, a gift from Kheseerad" said Kireina, expanding her flesh once more and catching the tired Flame G.o.d.
"GRRRYAARRR!"
Her tentacles entangled the demonic hammer shark-headed Flame G.o.d and began to devour it right there, the Flame G.o.d shrieked in pain and agony, as its existence faded due to circ.u.mstances that it could not prevent nor predict.
Kireina swallowed the Divine Soul of Flames, unifying it to her Divine Soul as she felt a surging new strength… although she was not able to showcase it completely as of now, as she was in the middle of a race against Zudig"s flesh, who had decided to move towards another G.o.d while she devoured the Flame G.o.d.
"Aghh! What is this flesh?! Someone! Help me! I am not an enemy! I was trapped by the b.a.s.t.a.r.d of Kheseerad since now! What is going on in here?!" cried a G.o.d seemingly made entirely out of the water, possessing a single fleshy eye floating around its body, with a crimson iris.
Zudig"s flesh followed him around incessantly, without leaving him with many options on what to do other than escape and retaliate by throwing Water Blades from its own Divine Soul body.
Kireina glanced at it as it was interested in the only G.o.d released by Kheseerad that was still sane. If it knew about Kheseerad and its powers, and if it held wisdom to like most G.o.ds, it would be a useful a.s.set for her.
Deciding to not eat it but save it, Kireina commanded her family and servants to attack Zudig"s flesh that was following behind the Unnamed Water G.o.d, as she finally caught it with a membrane made out of her flesh.
"AAAAH! DON"T EAT ME! I WILL GIVE YOU INDIGESTION!" cried the Water G.o.d in despair.
"Don"t worry, I will not eat you… What is your name? If you obey me, I will forgive your life. I am Kireina, by the way. I am interested in eating Kheseerad, do you know anything more about him?" asked Kireina.
"You are not… going to eat me as you did with the Fire G.o.d? My savior! Yes! Yes! My name is Hydros, the Demon G.o.d of Water Fluctuations…! Quite the t.i.tle, isn"t it? And you want to eat that p.r.i.c.k? Go ahead! Do you need some clues, Kireina-sama?" asked Hydro with enthusiasm, he was happy as long as he kept his life intact, and immediately became a loyal servant of Kireina in a mere instant.
"I"ve found a few of his weaknesses, such as how he doesn"t possess many offensive Abilities, his fangs are not so strong, and he cannot deal with others that can manipulate s.p.a.ce as good," said Kireina.
"I see, quite clever to find such clues, Kireina-sama! But you"ve missed a pretty big weakness on his side!" said Hydros.
"What is it, Hydros?" asked Kireina without much patience for the flashy G.o.d.
"Although I feel very ashamed of having been caught and stripped of all my valuable possessions from that b.a.s.t.a.r.d, it was mostly because other G.o.ds helped him… But through that, I got to know a weakness on his side! And that is that he cannot deal with other Attribute as well, if you fill up his s.p.a.ce Domain or his Pocket s.p.a.ce with other Attributes, s.p.a.ce will suddenly burst into a loud explosion! That is because, despite being quite masterful, his control over his own Attribute is limited! When another Attribute appears inside of such s.p.a.ces, the Attribute that made up such s.p.a.ces will become chaotic and detonate against his will! I managed to do that once! Dealing a big hit to the b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" said Hydros.
"Oh? Interesting… We have been trying to take him out of his s.p.a.ce up until now, but simply filling it with another Attribute would make it simpler! Just like filling a cup with water so the spider inside will have to ultimately dive its way out or die drowned!" said Kireina.
"Exactly, Kireina-sama!" said Hydros.
Kireina then contacted and shared such valuable information with Zehe and the girls, who immediately began to do as they were asked to.
"So we don"t have to take him out, Honey?" asked Zehe.
"No, just force him out by filling his s.p.a.ce with your attributes! His s.p.a.ce is not infinite, any s.p.a.ce he creates will always have a defined s.p.a.ce! Here, I have sent someone that could help you unleash a more offensive attack that can fill a defined s.p.a.ce faster," said Kireina.
Flas.h.!.+
"I"ve come to a.s.sist you, girls!" said the voice of Acelina, as her mech armor unified itself with the other four girls, fusing with them in an instant.
"Auntie!" said Ismena.
"Girls, Kireina-sama has called me here to use my Dragon Breath! So, channel your Aura with me, and let"s blast this annoying spider out of its cage! Ohohohoho!" said Acelina
"Very well then! Let us go wild, girls!" said Zehe.
"Yes!" cheered the five girls, infusing their Auras into the mechanical giant.
Kheseerad could not help but be annoyed by the carefree chit chat happening outside of his s.p.a.ce, as he desperately tried to save his life, his enemies were simply chatting around as if life has never been so easy!
"GRAAAA! If you are going to chit chat in the middle of a battle, then DIE!" roared Kheseerad, losing his patience and unleas.h.i.+ng hundreds of s.p.a.ce Bullets towards the enormous metallic giant.
However, before the giant were to receive such onslaught, its helmet shapes.h.i.+fted into that of a fierce and demonic dragon made entirely out of metal, while its chest did as well.
Both metallic dragon heads opened wide, as cannons were revealed inside of their jaws!
"What the?! Another cannon attack?! I have prepared myself for that this time! s.p.a.ce Distortion Barriers! s.p.a.ce s.h.i.+eld! s.p.a.ce Layer Multiplication!"
Kheseerad created dozens of different barriers around himself to properly resist the girls" cannon attack, however, their attack was not aiming at him, exactly!
"Shadow Mirage Dragon Breath!!!" roared Acelina, as the Zehe, Mady, Ismene, and Nanako filled her entire self with their Auras, she channeled her mouth into the mechanical giant, and through both cannons, she fired an enormous breath attack, resembling mystical flames made out of shadows and purple illusions.
Flas.h.!.+
The black and purple flames began to fill in Kheseerad"s Pocket s.p.a.ce as the G.o.d laughed. The flames did not scare him, as the moment they were fired, they dissipated quickly, not filling the s.p.a.ce completely nor instantly…
"Idiots, you missed me! Such pitiful flames won"t do anything to me anyway!" he celebrated.
"You"re the idiot! Illusion Materialization!" said Ismena, as she and Mady conjured the spell capable of materializing Illusions into the flames.
The flames, which were made with the Illusion Attribute as well, began to solidify like enormous and heavy jewels, beginning to fill in Kheseerad"s Pocket s.p.a.ce almost completely!
"Ungh?! What?!"
Then, Kheseerad"s pocket s.p.a.ce began to shake, the new attributes that filled the pocket s.p.a.ce contrasted too much against the s.p.a.ce attribute, and Kheseerad was not masterful enough to control the s.p.a.ce attribute to such an extent yet! He would at least need to be a Great G.o.d for that.
"Impossible! You… You!!!"
The pocket s.p.a.ce began to crack into pieces as a detonation unfolded, detonating into a loud explosion that resonated across the battlefield, releasing s.p.a.ce-distorting waves all around.
BOOM!
"NNGGGYAAAAA!"
Kheseerad"s cry of pain resonated through Kireina"s earing senses as if it were the most pleasing of sounds.
