Chapter 2393: An Imperfect Power
.
•
(Kireina's POV)
The moment we saw the frozen landscape and I sensed my friends very nearby, I leaped off Wall and went to their rescue, finding them all surrounded by almost a hundred titanic monsters, made of fire and ice!
They looked exhausted and very, VERY tired, so I quickly launched a Bleeding Sun at the monsters' faces, blasting through them while I swallowed their energies and whatever of value they had. Gluttony allows me to devour things I destroy with my magic or skills.
And as they were being eaten, I quickly realized there were people inside.
"Aha, so it's that kind of thing again..."
It was indeed a field full of Beast Spirit Parasites, made out of the Gods that served Skadi's Pantheon, most likely. I could sense their presences from a mile away. I decided to still eat them through Gluttony, as the Bleeding Sun would disintegrate them otherwise.
However, I didn't consume them, I simply swallowed them, a new ability that I gained from Gluttony's growth, the power to swallow even living beings and deposit them on the Dimensional Stomach.
Its freaking disgusting, I know, but what else is more efficient than this? The Dimensional Stomach can change its shape and form as I wish, so I simply made it an empty void where they floated aimlessly.
After that, I quickly arrived where everyone was, I was quite happy to see them, I literally flew to their side screaming and hugged Celica and Truhan in specific.
Well, I actually missed everyone. Palami, Raito, Asure were there, alongside Meiji, Kizuato, Yukan, Goruden, and Jinsoku. I was glad everyone was fine and alive.
While destroying the Elemental Spirit Titans and swallowing the people inside to save them, I also noticed two non-threatening figures mixed with my friends.
"Who are those guys?" wondered Mammon, he was very quick at addressing the elephant in the room.
They were, for a lack of a better word, literal mechas. They didn't look that fantasy-like and had more streamlined futuristic appearances, with white, silver, and neon blue circuits covering their bodies.
They seemed more like heavily leaned towards hard sci-fi in terms of appearance, with lean and slender mechanical bodies, sharp ends that assisted at flying and moving against gravity or the wind, and small heads with a single red light.
However, they were powerful, these beings, completely alien to anything I've seen so far, weren't from this world, nor from Genesis, or from anywhere I've visited so far.
I felt like they had something to do with what Wagyu told me before, about someone trying to attack them... Could this be the third- no, fourth, or fifth party involved on this whole mess of an interplanetary war going on right now?
The first party would be all inhabitants of Genesis.
The second party are the inhabitants of the Spiritual Plane.
The third party are the Outer Gods.
The fourth party are that damn spider and my sisters somehow moving everything.
The fifth party would be the demon king? Maybe... I don't know what he's doing right now.
The sixth party would be the vampires of Abyss.
I guess they're the seventh party, actually!
I've scratched the demon faction because they've been pushed back and are no longer a threat for the moment.
Though they might end up allying the Outer Gods, seeing how they received their aid when we fought Satan.
Anyways, this seventh party, they've been helping my friends, so I should assume they aren't threatening, right?
Hm, better keep my guard high anyways, I wouldn't really want to get caught off guard. Those machines, somehow, are powered by incredibly high-quality batteries or cores imbued with cosmic energy, which not only have it but produce it as well.
A unique technology that I had never seen before that can somehow put these robots on par with cosmic gods and even... they wouldn't have a hard time beating Supreme Gods either!
Just what sort of super advanced civilization has created machines and technology capable of going against cosmic beings? It's ridiculous.
And interesting too, very interesting.
If I could steal their technology somehow, or copy it while being in good terms, I'm sure Charlotte would be fascinated.
Anyways, as the fights continued, and then several giant chimeras emerged, I decided to finish this quickly, we didn't have the time to waste fighting small fry anyways.
With the power of the Law Shattering Cosmic Spirit Gauntlet of Infinity, I decided to end it all.
"With this gauntlet, I order all of you... to cease your resistance!"
I swung my fist forward, the enormous gauntlet pierced through the walls of reality and shook it all, punching the laws that constituted the universe around my surroundings.
An incredible power!
Of course, a large quantity of Cosmic Energy and Ancient Essence was used, but I had plenty of that, and more would be recharged once these guys were eaten.
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
Suddenly, every single Elemental Chimera started exploding on their own, as countless invisible fists, manifestations of my punch through reality, punched them down and made them splatter into the ground.
Within mere seconds, and thanks to my family joining into the battle, every Elemental Titan within the vicinity had been utterly destroyed and defeated.
Damn, that was fast!
"Hm, not perfect enough..."
I squinted my eyes as I sighed, glancing at the gauntlet already gaining countless cracks, until
it quickly broke down into pieces and its fusion stopped. The hammer Metatron, Mammon, and my Spirit Heart jewels separated.
"Hahhh... This is tiring you know?!" Mammon complained cockily. "I thought I would break at any moment!"
Talking all rudely when only a few hours ago he was moaning in pleasure. He's really cocky! Maybe he needs some more correction later.
"Don't worry, even if you break I can repair you dear~" I caressed his axe body, teasing him
some more.
"You've really solved the problem..." sighed Meiji. "But Kireina-sama, w-what about the people inside? Did you really had to kill them all?"
"Kill them? Of course not," I smiled. "I simply swallowed them, but they're alive. Inside of
my Cosmic Realm, the people were already safe, don't worry about it, Meiji."
With these small fries defeated, the only thing left is going to that castle. Lazuli and Blaze, and even Skadi, they're there.
