Chapter 2137 Shub-Niggurath Appears!
?-----
Kireina and her family were quickly surrounded by Outer Gods coming from all places. Firing beams of powerful decaying matter, void, chaos, and black blood that could absorb mana and cosmic energy on contact. A bombardment of explosions constantly clashed against Kireina. Her gigantic beast-like chimeric body evaded the attacks as she leaped from Outer God to Outer God, tearing their flesh to pieces, and slicing their tentacles and other appendages as much as she could.
She hadn't been able to kill another one since then. They were constantly healing one another to keep themselves alive. And the damage Kireina accumulated was also accumulating… Only for it to fully regenerate as she gnawed their flesh and swallowed anything she could get out of biting them. It was a battle of attrition where she was keeping herself at the top, and steadily advancing.
Her family attacked with their strongest techniques, explosions of lightning from Gaby, calamitous chaotic sea spears and swords pierced the Outer Gods, spheres of divinity and mana-draining ocean water drowned the Outer Gods, bothering them and breaking their focus, all while endless waves of blood projectiles impaled their titanic bodies. The dragons and wyverns fought by combining their elemental powers on Shadrach or Luminous, who unleashed devastating multi-elemental breath attacks.
Explosions of all colors spread, the wormhole kept shifting and "glitching", Kireina was drawing closer and closer to her daughter, trapped in some sort of black bubble of miasma, with chains made of the void restraining every one of her limbs. Seeing her suffering like this reminded Kireina of her own Mother, Chaos. And how she was also chained, suffering, all while trying to protect their Universe.
"MOVE ASIDE!"
With utmost fury, Kireina grew larger and larger, reaching the maximum height her body could ever achieve, reaching two hundred kilometers and kicking away Outer Gods after Outer Gods, leaping towards Scarlet, and extending her tails to grab her bubble with all her strength.
"SCARLET!"
"Who's next, huh?"
However, before Kireina could move a centimeter closer to her daughter, it felt as if everything around her stopped. It felt as if a bubble around her and all Outer Gods was made. It stopped time itself, distorting it. Kireina's sight senses quickly noticed that it was such a corrupt force made of pure Void and Chaos that it stopped the "Flow of Time" from even reaching it.
"T-Time Stopped completely?!"
Kireina was the only one capable of saying anything, her entire family were all frozen in time, nobody could move. Not even Luminous or Agatheina, nobody. It was a similar thing with all her Ego Weapons and Equipment. Her senses quickly shifted to the ceiling of this strange "barrier" as a mass of countless goat-like legs emerged, stuck together with billions of squirming and agonizing bodies of females, most of them pregnant. They were all made of gooey black miasma, with tentacles and crimson eyes protruding out of them.
"What? Are you shocked about something, little butterfly?"
The entity that appeared in front of her, with an incommensurable size and power was nobody else than the Demonic Mother of a Thousand Young. The one Outer God she had found an Avatar in Hell from all places, which she ate and then kidnaped into her World Realm. This Avatar had lost her connection to her true form, and was now an independent entity, which Kireina used to get as much info out of her as she could.
And she learned quite a lot. Such as that this Outer Goddess was one of the three strongest amongst the Outer Plane, the largest "Universe" existing within this Dimension, floating within the Sea of Emptiness, where it constantly feed off Void and Chaos from to fill its existence and grow larger. Where all Outer Gods originated from.
"Y-You…! Shub-Niggurath, you fucking bitch!"
"Oh my, language. Please, Kireina, we are quite acquainted now, aren't we? I've lost connection with her, but I bet you chatted a lot with my little clone, hm?"
"I'm going to fucking kill you… I'll rip you to shreds. And I'll feast on your blood and flesh. I will not stop until you're fucking dead. And all of your Outer Gods, you're all dead. You should have never fucking provoked me to this point. You're done for. This is a fact."
"Oh?! Is that so? GAHAHAHAHA!"
As Shub-Niggurath laughed monstrously, all Outer Gods surrounding Kireina laughed, mocking her. They found her utterly delusional, stupid, and incredibly ignorant. She was completely to Shub-Niggurath's mercy now! How could she ever think she has a way out?
"You're so full of yourself, aren't you? You think you're invincible. But that's far from the truth, Kireina. You're nothing but a tool for us. You manipulate Destiny and Fate; you bend it to your will. And we've manipulated you so you bend it to our will, so it can all shape as we desire. You've always been our little puppet, nothing else, nothing more."
"I am nobody's puppet…!" Kireina roared in utter fury; streams of blood fell from her eyes. She was crying out of madness, anger and frustration. Blood was the only thing she could cry, forcing herself to shift her eyes within stopped space made it so she had to tear them down. "I will never let you control me… I am my own self; I own my own destiny! And I won't… I won't! I WON'T LET YOU MANIPULATE ME ANYMORE!"
Kireina roared, but she was chained by time itself, incapable of moving at all. The Outer Gods laughed out loud again, only for Shub-Niggurath to stop them. Her countless eyes gazing at Kireina, as she slowly approached her daughter. Her countless black tentacles caressing Scarlet, her crimson eyes glaring at Kireina directly, teasing her.
"This little child you conceived, containing both the blessing of your Trait's Protection, your own Bloodline, a part of your Soul, and everything else… She's the perfect vessel we needed. We will continue using her as our Portal, we will conquer countless other Worlds, countless other Planes… Thank you so much for giving us such a precious gift, Kireina."
"LET HER GO…! SHUB-NIGGURATH! YOU WANT ME, NOT HER! LET HER BE!"
"No, in fact, she's everything we could have ever asked for. Now, you have to go back to your sisters, they miss you." Shub-
Niggurath's tentacles and appendages moved closer to Kireina to finish her off.
