Chapter 2471: Kireina's Adaptability "{Blood Sea Dominion Arts}" Noah did not stop there, instantly unleashing his Domain again, and now expanding it even further, transforming its shape and form. The blood sea transformed into countless of gigantic hands, materializing large spears and swords made of crystalized cosmic blood. "{Crimson Blood Army Frontal Assault}" All of his Familiars were within this attack, tens of thousands of foes at once, impacting Kireina with immense force, ripping to shreds her defenses and her armor. CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! "Ngh?!" Kireina gnashed her teeth in agony as her entire being was being ripped to shreds. At the same time as Noah began to destroy her own Fate, making it so her possibilities of existing were decreasing, and therefore, countering her [Metaphysical Manifestation] Skill! "I never imagined someone could actually counter this skill... Hah, this guy is ridiculous. Can I even win?" For the first time in a while, Kireina felt the thrill of battling someone that was clearly stronger than her to a level she could simply not see entirely. In front of her, Noah was like an endlessly deep sea, there was simply no bottom. His strength was bottomless. "Worse thing, I have barely hurt him this entire time." Indeed, Kireina had been mostly defending and trying to go on the offensive, but Noah's body seemed to be a whole dimension above anything she has battled. He simply tanked the blows that even hurt beings such as Shub-Niggurath with ease! "He must've been cultivating his body for tens of thousands of years... Fucking hell, it's not fair!" Yet despite everything, Kireina had not lost hope, nor her confidence, and even less her energy. Not at all. Because while Noah's strength was boundless, and Kireina could simply not compare... Kireina's potential was boundless instead! While Noah seemed to have specialized on his elemental powers regarding blood, strengthening, and swordsmanship to levels beyond Kireina's calculations... Kireina had a bunch of skills! "{Fate-Bending Domain} + {Recessed Beast's Abyssal Sunlight Magic} + {Cosmic Soul Phylactery Formation}" She combined the effects of three skills at the same time as Noah continued attacking her, suddenly, her Fate Thread began to twist and warp, Noah's eyes widened. "What?" In a nanosecond, a gigantic monster materialized from Kireina's own Fate itself, resembling a massive lion made of astral and cosmic plasma, clashing against Noah and his Domain. "ROOOAARR!" The lion roared mightily, swinging its claws ferociously against Noah and clashing against his sword and army, although its body began to rapidly disintegrate as it tanked thousands of blows at once. CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! "She turned her Fate into a Beast?" Noah had to take a second to even process that, something that he never thought possible to begin with at all! But that was not even half of what this new Technique held, as Noah swung his blade and cut through the beast, destroying more of Kireina's Fate. SLAAASH! BOOOM! The beast exploded, leaving behind countless smaller beasts, which attacked him again! "It multiplies when it dies..." There was also something strange about this beast, as an otherworldly aura and essence originating from another universe entirely was empowering it. "It's also a Maxima Summon...!" Kireina spread her arms as her armor rapidly regenerated, now forming three different layers as she stacked her three Armor Skills at once, reinforcing her defenses even further by merging them and turning the entire three layers of different armor skills into a single cosmic maxima ego relic. "Well, when you started destroying my own Fate I had to get creative, Noah. I have to thank you; I think this new skill might be a keeper." "So you have a System..." Noah instantly realized this. He once also had a System, but it was destroyed when he was killed and later reincarnated in Abyss. Its powers, however, did not disappear, becoming crystalized within the fragments of his own Divine Realm he had to find and absorb to regain his powers. "Well, it doesn't matter either way, it was surprising, that's all." Noah was unfazed, he let the flow of blood around his body go even faster, as he became a crimson blur, coming around at the same time as his domain of blood. SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! He swung his blade, eliminating the smaller Fate Maxima Beasts one after another, making them explode into light that seemed to deal some damage, but it barely did anything. "It is over. Once your fate is fully destroyed, you can no longer have an anchored probability, and your strange ability will be useless." "I hope you're ready." "Nonsense!" SLAAASH! Noah completely destroyed Kireina's Fate as she rushed to fight him, swinging her axe against him, as a massive storm of infernal flames engulfed him, followed by several consecutive horizontal and vertical blows. CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! "You're an amateur at best, your technique pales in comparison even against vampires weaker than me." Noah easily parried Kireina's blows, countering with his sword and piercing her body, although he noticed something, her armor was resisting much better now. CLAAANK! "She enhanced the density of her armor to this level? Despite her Realm being so below mine?" Noah analyzed Kireina as they fought, noticing gigantic golden claws rushing towards him, grabbing him from every angle and overpowering him for a second, as they constantly cloned themselves, forming a massive ball. "Gotcha!" Kireina smiled, as she suddenly saw a blade pierce through it all. SLAAASH! Her endless claws were instantly melted into molten gold and then turned into ashes, as Noah emerged once more, rushing towards her. Thousands of swords, spears, and axes made of crystalized cosmic blood reached her, encompassed with Void. "Goodbye." BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Kireina felt her armor shattering apart and her entire being once more being completely destroyed. It was already like the third time! Yet... "{Endless Cycle of Self-Devouring}" She began devouring her own parts, rapidly generating back together, as many clones of herself emerged from her blood and flesh. "I destroyed your Fate. Is this an illusion?" "Nah..." Kireina suddenly emerged even stronger than before; a cross-shaped grave made of golden etheric light materialized above her. "Noah, do you know what a phylactery is?" "A relic to contain a soul- I see." Noah instantly realized what Kireina had done with her Fate. She had literally created a "Soul" for her own Fate, storing it within a Phylactery made of Fate... And in essence, as long as the Phylactery was not destroyed, then her fate would simply come back with a new body. "Amusing at best, it doesn't mean anything either way." Noah grasped the empty space, as he began to twist it around Kireina and him, shattering it apart. Then, countless cracks appeared all around Kireina, where his endless blood sea traveled through, splashing her from all sides. Each nanosecond the blood touched her, thousands of his familiars attacked her, shredding through her very existence. And yet, Kireina was never ending. BBZZZZTTTT! She exploded, turning into a swarm! Every swarm being had become a Fate Maxima Beast too. Kireina had merged with her Swarm to gain more bodies and souls, and at the same time, to further expand her Fate. Therefore, unending. "Fine," Noah sighed. "{Lifeblood Exceed: Level 4}" TRUUUM! Noah's Blood Sea Domain went back to him, turning into a spiraling crimson nebula with stars made of void. Excalibur turned into a black and red spear. "Die." And then, he pierced through Space and Time with it! 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢 BOOOMMM!!!
