Chapter 1013 - [The Fated Holy War] 1/?: A Mysterious Fairy Emerges Within The Central Continent! . . . [Day 378] Today we woke up and prepared the last things, I wanted to make some surprises as well, so I decided to create Pocket Formations. What are Pocket Formations, you may wonder? Well, Formations are certain structures you create that serve a purpose by using a variety of ingredients. As a mortal, where I had to level up and stuff, formations were often non-existent, as what we used were Zones, Domains, and so on, which were lesser versions of Formations made using Skills and Magic, which were also pretty weak. Though I still had some problems fighting against Zones in the past… Well, I am well past that point though! But Formations are more than just Zones that trap you on place or Domains, they are special areas that can do a variety of functions and even lower the power of someone, or even enhance it, they can even be manufactured to serve a great variety of purposes, such as the furnace Formation that I use with Blaze and Lazuli, for example. With that in mind, I created several tricky formations to deal with large armies of enemies, having a variety of purposes as well. Although I could also brute force my way through eating everything, even that might not work completely, so I have to be cautious! And as I created the Formations, I used Pocket Space and Spatial Compaction, Space Attribute Magic Spells to put all these Formations into small and portable pocket dimensions! Hence, Pocket Formation was the name that came out of this. After finishing the last Pocket Formation, everything else was ready, so today, we strike. I don't know how long this whole fight might take, but I will do everything at my disposal to win and gain total power over the domain of this Realm. We have worked hard up to this point since we started as a little group of monsters inside a Grand Forest. It has sure been a long time since then. Or not. Well, it feels nostalgic to me… I still remember hearing the first things about the Central Continent when I was just a Butterfly and stuff… And now, we are about to invade it! But there are so many things to do even after this whole ordeal, that it makes it seem small. My perception of this world has really changed ever since then… But I am still the good ol' me. And now, I stand in front of my battlefield, divided into two bodies. It's time to end this Realm of Vida arc, once and for all. ----- The sky seemed clear today, there wasn't a single cloud in the sky of the central continent. The people seemed unaware of anything regarding the Gods, they were still figures they paid respect to and prayed upon. The air was quite quiet as well, the wind wasn't there, and the sun was shining brightly, bringing a lot of heat. Today was a day like any others in summer… Or was it? Above the clouds and the mortals, a congregation of Gods was all walking and talking everywhere within an enormous, confined space, a gigantic Divine Area made up by the pieces of many Divine Realms stuck together, this place was a treasure trove of Divine Materials, overflowing with divine essence everywhere. There was an immense beauty to this divine place, that's for sure. All the Gods gathered here were waiting, observing the outside world. Across the sky, there were many other divine realms stationed, each divine realm was that of a Great God. Due to the ability that Kireina had to make clones, they had already expected her to come through several areas all at the same time, so the Great Gods decided to spread across the skies. All of them gathered with their subordinate Gods, as they had settled countless Formations over the skies and below the ground and even the oceans surrounding the central continent. All the Central Continent was encapsulated in an invisible and gigantic barrier made of hundreds of Formations settled as nodes in each area, it was a majestic formation that already existed before, but that it was reinforced some days ago by the hard work of many Gods. Now… All the Gods waited patiently. Through their Divine Intuition, all of the Great Gods realized Kireina was coming soon, very soon. Now that they were finally done with their preparations, the only thing left was to patiently wait! The Four Great Gods overseeing everything, who were all near if not already at Rank 9, observed the skies while squinting their eyes. Jupiter, Agatha, Ova, and Leoganz. All four of them were spread across the skies, their divine realms were gigantic spaces that distorted the spatial layers around them, so they occupied a large part of space. Leoganz was positioned not in front as he would have wanted, but he was sent to the back area, meanwhile, Ova was in front with her large army of Subordinate Gods, while Agatha was to the left and Jupiter to the right. Whenever Kireina were to show up, the closest group would rush to aid the other, everyone had Teleportation Jewels, so they had the ability to teleport limitedly, making things easier. "How long is she planning to take? Well, I am going to wait until you show up…" said Ova, squinting her eyes in expectation. "My lady, you must relax…" "Indeed, you seem to be nervous…" To her right and left side, there were two Beast Gods with rather angelic appearances. Bazael, the Beast God of Cranes, and Venettia, the Beast Goddess of Doves. Both of them had become Great Gods, as all of the Great Gods of the Central Continent received the special Formation that enhances cultivation speed tremendously as a gift by the Supreme God of Star Ocean. This helped the strongest Gods to become low rank Great Gods, while Demigods became Gods and low-rank Gods reached up to mid-rank or even upper rank, their strength was blazing, and this was perhaps a reason for their overconfidence. By a mere gift of a Supreme God, the ability to cultivate as a God was increased ridiculously high, and because there were so many, they were brimming with strength and confidence. "Well, how can I not be nervous? Kireina is a monstrous being, even as strong as I am, I cannot lose my focus, or she'll come before we least expect her to-" FLAAASH! Suddenly, space started to distort in front of Ova's Divine Realm, as all the Gods felt the presence of HER emerging! She was ridiculously strong that her mere presence distorted space and challenged anything the Gods believed could be possible. Her very aura released several dark colors at the same time, resembling a twisting spiral of endless chaos. The time she reached this place was a mere instant, without any previous warning, she emerged out of thin air here! "S-She's hereeeeee!" cried one of the Gods with Ova, as the other Gods quickly prepared! Ova's eyes flashed with bloodthirst, she was finally getting to see Kireina in the flesh! The one that "stole" her children, the one that caused her so much rage, and the one that made chaos all around and did as she shamelessly pleased. And the one who massacred the entire Lower Realm and made it her complete domain, that Kireina! Her beauty was so mesmerizing that most of the Gods were actually left paralyzed by her mere presence, although this was because of her immense aura and the dozens of Skills she had activated in succession, alongside Path Jewel Abilities and more, such as the Path Jewel of Nyarlathotep, which gave her an assortment of Abilities, one of them that of an immense aura of intimidation that made the weak-minded that looked at her lose their sanity! Her Aura continued to expand as if it could even cause nightmares! "Ahhh…!" "Aaaaaaahhh! What is this?!" "Gyaaaaaahh! My head! My heaaaaaadddd!" "Don't look at her eyes!" roared Bazael, as Ova's Divine Realm finally opened a gigantic portal in space, surging with an army of Divine Beasts led by Gods, some of the Gods that were going to join were left paralyzed and some even fell unconscious at the spot! Kireina smiled devilishly as she saw the enormous army of Gods surging! She could feel many Great God Realm entities within! Her beautiful and near-perfect face smiled beautifully, as her crimson-red eyes gleamed with bright light. Her aura continued to expand into pure darkness, as such darkness started to spiral in various spots, where several figures emerged from within, it was as if her very aura was used as some kind of space to save up troops, surprising Ova! "Fufu, let's start this already, shall we? The Holy War… Shall begin!" laughed Kireina, as her troops emerged one by one! Enormous Wyverns equipped with mechanical armor, a large army of God Monkeys, two Giants covered in fire and darkness, and many other Gods, such as Marnet, Maeralya, and Morpheus! Ova quickly realized who these Gods were, she glanced at her very children coming to fight her! She quickly decided to emerge from her Divine Realm. Ova, although she had been resting for a long time, was not shy of battle. In her past she had fought countless battles and held within her the war-drive Titan Race Bloodline her, her father himself was a Titan, and although she never meet him, she developed a similar personality to him, someone that deep down, enjoyed battling! To not nasty her honor as a Great Goddess at the pinnacle of her Realm she decided to emerge from her Divine Realm while she released a large amount of golden and green-colored essence, healing her baffled or horrified troops while waking up those that had fallen unconscious! "Ho? I couldn't expect less from a Great Goddess!" "Kireina! You dare come to me while forcing my own children to battle against me?!" roared Ova, showing off Kireina her true appearance, she resembled a beautiful woman with a muscular yet slim frame, she wore leather clothes seemingly made of powerful divine beasts, and her entire and beautiful body was covered by many tattoos, she seemed mildly tanned, and her long and blonde hair waved like a golden ocean below her body. Her shiny emerald eyes glowed with a golden hue, and her entire presence resonated with the power of Life and Nature! Kireina could feel it, the powerful Law Essence of Life and Nature emanated with immensely high amounts within her, she had very high comprehension in both Laws, Kireina calculated that she had comprehended, at the very minimum, up to 60% in both while Kireina still struggled to comprehend the Chaos Law while her other Laws didn't surpass 20%... And to boot, compared to Kireina, she also had immensely high amounts of Attribute Particles, so many that her very Divinity distorted space and time without using any Skills, unlike Kireina… She probably had around 80k Attribute Particles in both Life and Nature, if not more! "Impressive…! So this is the might of a true Great Goddess… Aahh~ You're going to be such a delicious meal, Ova!" laughed Kireina, completely ignoring Ova's question and even how she healed the troops that Kireina's very presence made faint or become paralyzed in horror. "Tch…! Answer my question!" roared Ova. Kireina smiled at her as if saying "you fool". Kireina already knew that Ova would be waiting in the spot she wanted to come in front of, so she decided to bring her children to surprise her and affect her negatively. "Why don't you ask your own children?" she asked. "What…?!" Ova glanced at her own children, who all seemed seriously staring at her almost to death. None of them held any respect for her. And well, it was justified. They had not seen her in thousands after thousands of years… "Mother, you're an irresponsible ancestor that lets your children rot away and be used as cattle by other races, without having a care at all…" said Maeralya. "Perhaps you don't care about our mortal children, but we do!" said Marnet. "And as parents… We have to protect our children, even if it's against our own mother!" roared Morpheus. Ova was left shocked! "What…?!" ----- Author's Note: Hey guys! I was thinking about which Daos you would like Kireina to acquire in the future? The ones I like the most will get added in the future! They can be just a tiny idea but feel free to expand their concepts and add more details if you want too.
