Chaos and Order - A Multiverse Fanfic

Chapter 397: Kai's Buffs - Soaring Stats!!!



From confronting Moraine and Blade Singer's Shadow Copies to making them explode as black raindrops, it took Gyarados-Kai only a few moments.

But all this had been done with Kai not caring about Black Wasp.

It was as if he had given up on his fate; the fatal threat of a 7th-floor Contestant. No. Black Wasp felt even stronger than before.

The yellow shadowy figure had already come near Kai, its Agility surpassing his infallible instincts.

Suddenly, a figure appeared between Kai and Black Wasp.

The Wings of Grim Butterfly on Moraine's back were pulsing with seven-colored hue brighter than ever. In her hands, the Claymore looked like the epitome of elegance and death.

Her eyes boiled with an unmatched resolve.

The repulsor on Kai's soles fired, and he flew around Moraine and Black Wasp without giving her a fleeting look.

Behind Kai, a massive boom rang out, a defying scream, and an earth-shattering burst of power. Nothing could make him look back.

It was then a creature appeared in front of Kai whose power he couldn't even measure.

The newly arrived obstruction was a colossal cyborg dinosaur beast, over 30 ft tall, and its giant revolver was pointed at Kai.

With a bang, it fired 3 shadowy bursts.

There was a time when Kai had looked at red meteors, wondering about their absurdness. There was a time when he had wondered, what it would be like to have such a power of his own. There was a time when he had asked himself, what would it be like facing such an attack?

If he didn't do something, then he would soon know the answer.

With the power that was infinitely nearer to the 8th floor, these black meteors felt like heralds of doom.

Kai had never been so sure of death.

Not when he could see it coming at him, spinning round and round.

To left… To left… Move to the left… Go there and you will survive…

Instincts were roaring in Kai's mind.

Thoughts followed those Instincts, sending electrical signals to his muscles.

Not fast enough.

He was just not fast enough.

He knew what to do, and how to survive, but even with his Agility, his body refused to move.

"Murasame!" Kai roared and the cursed sword blurred, slashing at none but her master. "Titan's Buff!"

Something snapped within Kai.

He had never felt this powerful before. Never.

This was the height of Buffs over his Stats, a combination of Iron Man Armor, Novice Collector Title, Murasame's Little War Horn, and Petyr's Relentless Love.

Today, for the first time, Kai felt he could see something greater than the Power he desired.

The first of those shadow bullets had already come close enough to Kai to make him feel hot through the Mark V armor.

To the left…

Kai's body blurred as if the entire world had shifted to the right.

The shadow bullet passed by inches away from his helmet, and it shattered, metallic pieces sparking, falling off the armor.

The second and third bullets also arrived, and the world shifted once more in Kai's eyes with another thought.

They couldn't even scratch him this time.

BOOM!

A black mushroom cloud erupted behind Kai, and it was also then his hair fell out of the armor, the entire world gawking at the sight.

His hair had lengthened, becoming redder than red.

The white sclera of his eyes had become black, and his reptilian, hazel pupils had gained a dark, bloody color.

All over Gyarados-Kai's blue, scaled face, one could see cursed runic marks running up and down.

There was no humanity about this person. Not anymore.

Kai Stormborn was a Demon to the core.

Kai's demonic eyes pulsed and he blurred out of sight. At the same time, the colossal Shadow Digimon blurred as well.

Both appeared in the middle.

And then Kai rushed past it, the beast's head tumbling down like a piece of a log cut down by a chainsaw.

For the first time, Shadow Lord opened his eyes and gave another look to Kai, and at his demonic appearance.

His grip over Cersei's head tightened.

"Ahhhh!" she screamed.

"She is mine!" Kai growled, looking at the earring, and sensing the acceleration of shadows on Cersei's body.

That was her last scream, for the shadows had crawled up to her nose now.

Kai felt a tug at his heart.

Time… was running out.

It was then that a Shadow Creature appeared in front of Kai that shouldn't have. Not on this battlefield.

This Shadow Creature had a black helmet on its head — a copy of the Supreme Protector, Contestant Nexus.

Now, its strength lingered in the realms of 8th-floor!

There was no thought, no Instinct.

This wasn't an opponent Kai could take on even with the absurdly piled-up Attribute Points.

The Iron Man Armor, Little War Horn, and other buffs, along with Instincts had let him take on Shadow Creatures with the strength of 7th-floor Contestants.

But that was only because they had almost no intelligence.

Kai was their natural enemy, especially with his rich battle experience.

Yet, this Shadow Creature had the true strength of an 8th-floor Contestant.

And everything failed against raw power, eventually.

Contestant Nexus' copy flicked his hands, and a miniature world-ending hurricane materialized in front of Kai.

The hurricane slammed right into his chest.

BANG!

Kai became the red meteor he had so admired and struck the earth with such a boom that everything exploded around the impact.

~Heh! Weak!~

Whose voice is it? Kai asked himself, his mind going blank. Who is calling me weak?

~You know why you are weak, don't you? Power… You lack true Power, Blood Demon!~

I lack Power…

~Do you know your mother begged me to not kill you? Do you know why? Heh! She knew, she knew how weak you were. Your own mother… pitied you.~

She pitied me…

~One with Beast? So what? You lack Power, Kai Stormborn. You will never have it.~

I will never…

BOOM!

"… let someone snatch my POWER! AHHHHHH!"

Kai's figure floated up, shaking and trembling.

His long, red hair swayed in the black wind, and the cursed marks in his eyes fluctuated like ripples in water.

But it was the blood flames around him that experienced the change.

Yes. He was weak, Kai realized. But this weakness wasn't because of his Attribute Points…

It was because of his body. If his body had been stronger, he could have squeezed out more power in the 30 minutes of Selfless Breathing.

He could become more powerful.

He must become more powerful.
