Chapter 1034 - [The Fated Holy War] 22/?: Invading The Central Continent From Behind, Confronting Isaac!
-----
Agatha glanced with shock at the beings that Kireina summoned, all of them exuded enormous quantities of power and were all at Rank 9 Great God!
Or were they? Certainly, there were some Great Gods amongst the many Gods that had joined Kireina's Pantheon, which was leading the charge, such as Agatheina, Maeralya, and many others, but the majority were all actually at just mid or peak God Realm!
But with the amazing totems they used, their power had already reached Rank 9 Great God, and their divine auras were dancing with enormous quantities of power, like blazing flames!
"What are these mechanical monsters?! Unbelievable… Just how strong did she get?"
"Strong enough to surprise you fools, it seems!"
"Have you ever seen something like this before anyways?!"
"I have not but you should never get so surprised, are you idiots?"
"Stop fighting you, children! I am as surprised as you. It seems that Kireina's shrewdness is deeper than I believed. These monsters… and the power she emanated. If I recall correctly… these are the power of Ova, totems! So she did absorb all of Ova's power at the end… How pitiful. But the most surprising thing is not that… I already knew that she could do as much, to begin with…" said Agatha.
"The most surprising thing is that she improved upon them, right?"
"Indeed! She not only improved upon them… It might seem like that at first glance but… What Kireina did was pretty much remake Totems as a whole, using all of Ova's knowledge and research, she remade them into even better tools of power… And she seems to be producing them at insane amounts, to boot! As she made a totem-making formation of her newly made totems already?! Not even ten minutes have passed since she killed Ova… how is this even possible?!" asked Agatha in disbelief.
Despite her trust over the powers she had and the gift of the World's Will, she couldn't help but have a faint amount of doubt within her heart. Seeing Kireina doing so many heaven-defying things was surprising even for an old great goddess such as her…
"My lady please calm yourself. No matter what she tries to pull off, our victory is secured, right?"
"Sigh… Yes, it should be, no matter what. Nonetheless. How our victory is achieved might change depending on how things change, don't lower your guards. It is not yet time for you to act, but you must do whenever I give you the order! Kireina seems to be waiting as well, what is she planning now?" wondered Agatha.
"Yes, Holy Mother."
Kireina continued to inspect the battlefield with her glowing crimson-red eyes. The gods continued to pour outside of her divine realm. The new totems she had created seemed to be amazing, just as she thought they would be!
As Ova noticed the changes in the totems, she couldn't help but point them out.
"Wait… these totems…"
"I've made them better," said Kireina.
"You've completely remade them! And… by using the Dao of Technomancy and Geomancy as supplementary Daos, alongside all your ideas… You've also improved upon them… You've become even better than me at what I created! …Unbelievable," sighed Ova.
"Don't feel dispirited. You're the one that brought it all to me, so I am very thankful. And you were tasty too," said Kireina.
"I don't know if I should feel honored or terrified by that statement…" sighed Ova.
"I suppose that a combination of both would fit your mood quite nicely, Ova," chuckled Kireina.
"Is your family fighting as well?" asked Ova.
"Only a few are going, I won't send them all. My children are staying here for now, although… I am soon going to fight on both battlefields at once. Truhan and Celica had healed, and my strongest troops as well. The battle against you really put a dent on them. But they seem to be back for more action quite quickly… Fufu, admire my strongest warriors," said Kireina.
Truhan and Celica, the Wyvern Family, the Slime Family, the Trio of Demons, the many Beast Gods, and more began to quickly fuse with totems, as they readied their totems powers and turned into gigantic half-mech and half-beast creatures, all emanating an even stronger power than before! If normal God Realm Gods could become as strong as peak Great Gods, those that we're already at peak Great God began to soar to levels of power near Ova herself before she was to die!
"Unbelievable… Such amounts of power… This is… They're already almost as strong as me before dying?!" asked Ova.
"Fufu… And that's not all, Ova! It is far from over, I promise you that there is more, way more to see!"
Kireina projected an image in front of Ova as she saw her other body gathered with many of her troops and family members, some of her children were with her as well, all of them were being given fitting Totems for them, most of them were so strong that they were capable of using more than one, despite the tremendous pressure they put over someone's body!
And the moment they put them and the runic inscriptions in the form of tattoos emerged around their bodies, their power soared to completely insane levels! Each one of them was perhaps 90% of Ova's power before dying…
"T-This is insane! How are you even going to lose now?" asked Ova.
"Fighting against two Great Gods such as Jupiter and Leoganz won't be easy, you know? We have to be prepared as much as possible, the fights to come will be the hardest!" said Kireina.
"But what about you? That body… it doesn't have the Totem," said Ova.
"Heh, you foolish Great Goddess, do you think I did not think about it?! Fufu… Watch!" said Kireina, acting like a chunni for once as she found it fun to surprise Ova.
Suddenly, the totem within her second body changed a bit, only covering half her body, while the other half… emerged in the first body within the underground of the central continent!
"What is the meaning of this?! I never saw such an effect in the totem creation… You did say it could be swapped between the bodies, but not shared!" said Ova in disbelief.
"It can be shared between bodies. I have added such an effect on its early stage of development. You didn't see it because you're already a noob at totem creation compared to me, assistant," said Kireina.
"A-Assistant?! I can't believe it… You've really surpassed me in my own creation…" sighed Ova.
"Fufu, that's right! But don't worry, I will still give you credit when the movie credits roll," said Kireina.
"The… movie credits?" asked Ova confusedly.
"Ah, never mind that…" sighed Kireina while waving her head.
"But how are you even able to use the totem in several bodies at the same time?" asked Ova.
"Well, I technically cannot. What I do is divide the core in two and share it between two bodies, essentially using 50% and 50% of the power of the totem in each body. It is all thanks to Bubu, Bubu's amazing power is incredible. It can do such a thing with ease. And I believe I will be able to even Summon Bubu twice through both of my bodies…" said Kireina.
"W-What?!"
"It is all thanks to the effects of the many powers I've added to the totems. Didn't I tell you? After all, they're using several of my insane techniques and oldest skills into it. And Bubu is already capable of sharing all my skills, techniques, and even path jewel abilities too, didn't you know?" asked Kireina.
"U-Unbelievable…"
"Thanks to that, Bubu can shapeshift and become similar to a slime made of flesh as well. So it is within its nature to divide in half similar to how I can divide in half through true body clones while controlling the two bodies with a single soul. It can also use the split minds and more… anything I have! Due to that, Bubu's battle potential has increased to even higher degrees… Isn't this fascinating? Thanks to Bubu's incredible talent and the ability that it has to share my own power, it can easily do all sorts of crazy stuff it was originally unable to do!" said Kireina.
"Then… Technically… Can it even…?" asked Ova.
"Yes, it is even sharing my own Dao Fragments… Fufu… My Comprehension, my attribute particles… Maxima Summons is truly a wondrous power like nothing I've ever seen before. The Dao of Summoning… I will make sure to one day complete it and summon even more Maxima Summons!" proclaimed Kireina. If she had summoned a being such as Bubu, what did stop her from summoning even more insane entities in the future?
If she could fully master the Dao of Summoning and comprehend it at 100%, and assimilate it, she would be able to acquire even more Maxima Summon Slots and get even more power!
"Despite that… You're still short on Divine Energy, aren't you?" asked Ova.
"Not exactly. I will always recover insane amounts thanks to the immense population praying to me. There is also a dedicated army of thousands killing divine beasts in Babel and grinding divine energy crystals from there. And there are also my other clones devouring essence from the elements and producing even more energy, meanwhile, there are the dozens of divine energy-transmuting formations that convert elemental essence into divine energy!" said Kireina.
"W-What?! You're already at the level of a Supreme God at this point…" sighed Ova in disbelief.
"Not yet… Supreme Gods are even more terrifying than me… But soon, Ova. Soon… I will achieve their same league, and the world will shake in fear…" chuckled Kireina. This one true body clone was being controlled by a particularly chunni and arrogant part of her mind.
"But preparations… Preparations are very important… Well, I've already made whatever I can… Hm, I suppose it is time… Let us move!"
Kireina's crimson-red eyes shone with a bright eerie light, as her first body within the underground of the central continent shapeshift into an enormous mass of chaos with a single crimson-red eye in the middle of it, carrying everything inside of her body, she shaped her chaos into an enormous drill and rushed upwards!
BOOOOOOOOMMM!!!
The drill broke through the earth itself, destroying the tectonic plates and reaching the surface!
TRRRUUUUMMM!
She easily cracked the barrier protecting the central continent, shattering it into pieces!
Most of the people within the central continent were alarmed, running away as they saw the essence of chaos itself emerge before all of them, a sight to behold that would mark their lives forever!
Their very sight upon her made them go… not insane, but fascinated!
Why was that?
It was obvious at this point, but Kireina had encroached all the mortals of the central continent and most of the weaker living deities, demigods, and gods that were protecting the mortals at this moment!
However, two starlight eyes shone above the skies, glancing at Kireina!
"We see at long last, Kireina!"
It was Isaac!
