Epic Of Caterpillar - #2117 - 2117 Harmonious Chaos!

—–

“Make sure to kill her no matter what, my Incarnation! We will extract her Trait once she’s dead, and she can go back to her damned sisters too. They’ll owe me a lot.”

Buddha’s arrogant voice echoed within Nirvana’s mind, as the not-so-handsome-anymore Reincarnator smiled while roaring like a mad dog, summoning four divine weapons encompassing the demonic nature of the last four layers of the Blazing Buddhist Hell.

“Of course I will, oh great master!” Nirvana roared. “I won’t let that woman do whatever she’s trying to do with Chakra and Chaos! There is NO way that Chaos can Harmonize with anything!”

Nirvana was mostly doing this due to his own frustration against Kireina, because she was reaching heights not even his Master had reached yet!

Something that, in practice, sounded completely insane and even less by theory.

Yet… she was somehow doing it!

“[Demonic Mandala Arts]: [Fifth Infernal Naraka: Maharaurava]!”

A giant black spear representing the great screams of the victims of those that prosper by hurting others.

“[Demonic Mandala Arts]: [Sixth Infernal Naraka: Tapana]!”

A blazing axe, embodying the rage of their sins, to burn the damned until flames come from their noses, ears, and eyes.

“[Demonic Mandala Arts]: [Seventh Infernal Naraka: Pratapana]!”

A giant red trident, ready to boil and burn those that have made others suffer terrible pain.

“[Demonic Mandala Arts]: [Eighth Infernal Naraka: Avici]!”

A massive cauldron, boiling with crimson blood, ready to burn and boil the damned for eternity.

The four Demonic Artifacts rushed down towards Kireina, conjuring enormous explosions of flames and darkness, trying to engulf her completely and boil her soul and origin to death.

However, Kireina greeted them with a calm expression, her eyes unwavering as crimson and golden light surged from within them.

“[Chaotic Mandala Arts]: [Harmonious Chaos]”

FLAAASH!

A huge circle of Mandala appeared behind her, showcasing dozens of paths that led to different lives Kireina had gone through, whose memories emerged each time Nirvana attacked her.

These memories, although mere fragments, seemed to enhance her ability to summon the power of Mandala, a Unique Power that only Reincarnators could unleash.

By showcasing the paths of life, ascension, descent, death and life… and Chaos!

Every person would eventually have their own circles of light as they cultivated Mandala Arts… However, Kireina was the most unique.

She was imitating Nirvana before, resembling lotuses. But now that she was slowly beginning to become enlightened, she formed her own.

And her circle showed a beautiful black and red colored rose, with many spiky vines spreading around it, forming over twenty rings.

Each ring had many spikes, each spike was a life she had remembered, even if a little fragment of it.

A life where she was a small beetle.

A life where she was a little gecko.

Another where she was a ferocious dragon.

A vengeful samurai.

A lonely girl that died of a disease.

A fallen angel…

All these lives, even if small in the fragments she remembered, brought her both sorrow and inspiration.

The curse of her sisters was slowly shaping into a new power.

“W-What is that?!” Nirvana muttered, shocked to see a Mandala Circle that was about to surpass the amount of reincarnations he had undergone! “Have I turned her stronger by tormenting her with the memories of lives she doesn’t remember?!”

Nirvana and Buddha quickly realized that there was something wrong going on…

“N-NO! IT DOESN’T MATTER!”

Nirvana foolishly believed it didn’t matter anyways, as his weapons reached Kireina! However, Luminous’ Sword and Mammon’s Axe suddenly absorbed her new power.

Changing in appearance!

They transformed, becoming a pair of gauntlets.

“I’ll punch my way through.”

Kireina leaped into the skies, her fists, now covered on enormous spiky gauntlets, pierced through the gigantic weapons descending towards her.

The flow of her Essence was never this perfect before, the enlightenment she was gaining was slowly beginning to empower her to brand-new levels.

“I can see their trajectory…!”

Kireina could even see glimpses of the future if she focused a lot… 

This was because through her Trait and a Skill she possessed, she was tapping into the Threads of Fate themselves.

Her Chaos power harmonized with her, an Aura of protection and power surged around her body, fusing with her Armor Skill.

The giant black spear of the [Fifth Infernal Naraka: Maharaurava] reached her, attempting to pierce through her. The enormous weapon was over fifty meters long.

However…

BAAAM!

Her right fist clashed against the blade tip and in an instant, an explosion of darkness and light surged from within, countless cracks spread through the titanic divine weapon.

Crack, crack…!

CRAAASH!

The weapon broke apart into pieces, its fragments were devoured by Kireina’s Aura the same way she devoured the other Weapon Fragments.

Her power grew higher.

She leaped into the right, spinning in midair beautifully, her gauntlets turned into light and reappeared into her legs, transforming into powerful metallic heels.

CLAASH! CLAASH! CLAASH! 

Four kicks landed on the blazing axe of the [Sixth Infernal Naraka: Tapana], the flames tried to burn her, but they were absorbed by her harmonious Chaos.

Crack, crack…!

CRAAASH!

The second weapon was destroyed in yet another split of a second. Kireina’s Aura devoured the fragments, and using that momentum, Kireina climbed into the third weapon.

The giant blazing trident of the Seventh Infernal Naraka: Pratapana spun in midair, attempting to pierce her body, but failing as she evaded them.

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

Her powerful Eyes synergized with her new abilities, allowing her to predict movements to an extent and evade like she had never done before!

“Now.”

Her heels became gauntlets again, hitting the trident in the area between its three sharp blades, and shattering it into pieces, the rest of the handle broke down into tiny bits.

Crack, CRACK…!

CRAAASH!

Nirvana kept watching in utter disbelief as Kireina was greeted by the strongest of all Hells, a gigantic golden boiling cauldron of blood, with countless and beautiful inscriptions carved on it.

She was caught by it in a split of a second, captured and quickly boiled inside!

FRSSSSHHH!!!

“URGH…!”

“HAH! You can’t survive the strongest Hell, Kireina! It is where all your SINS will boil down for the ultimate torture! Endless pain awaits you!”

Nirvana laughed, as the boiling cauldron suddenly started gaining cracks…

Crack… 

CRACK!

“W-Wha…?”

Crack…

CRACK!

“N-No…”

CRAAASH!

Kireina broke through, surpassing the eight hells.
