1032 [The Fated Holy War] 20/?: A New Formation Is Born!
-----
Kireina and Ova worked incredibly hard, pouring time and items into the enormous formation made up of several divine runes, materials, divine techniques, other already built totems, pocket formations, and more. And this immense thing was going to somehow become tattoos…
How was that even possible?!
This is where the fantastical and unrealistic power of the Totem Dao came into place! Ova had tried through her entire life to do this power correctly, and after many trials and errors, she managed. Although rather roughly at first. However, through that, she slowly improved and improved…
Until this very point!
The Totem Dao was birthed by her knowledge, but only as a fragment which she slowly made stronger and bigger through even more knowledge, understanding, and comprehension.
Through the Fragment of the Dao of Totem, this enormous and ridiculous formation could quite possibly become a tattoo of sorts!
But how was that even possible? What were the underlying behind this process?"
Daos were able to do incredibly fantastical things because they were Daos, after all. Daos were the fusion of the 100% comprehension of certain attributes! There were only a few fantastical examples completely outside the norm such as Electra and Fafnir, but usually, to use Dao completely assimilated, one just had to use the power of multiple fully comprehended Laws!
However, anyone whose power already surpassed what the normal elements could cover was a Dao. And perhaps the birth of fully comprehended Daos in the children of Kireina such as Electra and Fafnir was not only because it was part of a skill effect or something, but because their very existences produced a new "element" that ended becoming a complete and fully comprehended Dao from the beginning.
Even mortals could be already comprehending and creating their own Dao without realizing it! But because it took eons for a Dao Fragment to form naturally in someone, most mortals died without knowing this.
Nonetheless, because Daos were simply put, a new element whose new rules that could even break logic a bit was added, they could do… simply put, everything.
As long as you could find them or comprehend them, or even create them… Daos could do many things! Of course, they were usually very precise in what they did.
Ova had managed to make formations and living beings into Totems in the form of Tattoos through divine techniques made with divine materials, each divine material packed special effects within it.
And this effect is shapeshifting! The power of transformation. Many divine techniques already could transform things into something else, mostly the user itself.
And through this, she ended comprehending the Transformation Dao, and then, the Summoning Dao after she learned she required this power as well.
Learning about summoning wasn't so hard, there were also countless Summoning Skills, divine techniques, and more. Summons were not rare in Genesis, and Gods could easily create them in a variety of ways, but the Dao of Summoning was unique in its creation and fundaments which originated from the Maxima Universe, it was a Dao specifically made by the powerful Universe-level entity that gave birth to it and shared it with everyone within the Universe, this way, everyone in this Universe was able to use Summons for battle and cultivation, growing stronger faster in the process of companionship and other aspects… Due to this, the Dao of Summoning was very different than Summon Magic in Genesis, albeit, in the end, they were still related in their most inner roots, and therefore, could be linked.
This way, through this link, the last piece for the Totem Dao was formed, the Dao of Summoning. After these pieces were made, Ova had an easy time forming Totems and from that point onwards, she continued to improve herself and her totems into a variety of insane forms and powers…
Until now, this was, perhaps, the peak of what she had ever reached in Totems. This was the most brilliant creation she had ever done!
Merging quadrillions after quadrillions of divine materials, thousands of pocket formations, and billions of divine runes… This was the most powerful, and amazing of them all! It even merged unique concepts she had never seen before, such as Path Jewels Abilities, many of Kireina's Skills as activation ingredients, and even her strongest Four Divine Beasts Totem into the mix!
And now, the last two ingredients aside from the Dao Fragments that Kireina had… were the fully comprehended Daos of her children, Fafnir, and Electra! And of course, Bubu as the core!
The immense formation was erected across dozens of kilometers over completely flat land.
It was a wondrous thing to behold.
Flash!
Electra and Fafnir emerged before Kireina alongside Bubu over Electra's head.
"Mama!" said Electra.
"Graaa!" roared Fafnir.
"These… are toddlers?" asked Ova.
However, a second. Only a second it took Ova to realize their true power, the overflowing energies within them… this was clearly… they were clearly not just toddlers!
FLAAAASH!
The enormous auras they had, this was the powerful and rich essence of a whole Dao, and both were fully comprehended, to boot!
"Impressive…! These two babies have fully comprehended Daos?!" asked Ova in utter shock.
"Yeah! My babies are pretty talented, I know. And the ones born in the future will be even more talented as they will have even more Daos to share with mommy! Fufu…" laughed Kireina mischievously…
"Y-You're a Dao Making machine?!" asked Ova.
Suddenly, she realized that having a child with Kireina meant having a fully comprehended Dao too!
"Kireina, give me a child! Breed me!" said Ova desperately.
"Eeeh? Shut up! Don't say that in front of kids," sighed Kireina, smacking Ova's head with a fleshy tentacle.
"Ugh…! Sorry," sighed Ova.
Kireina didn't realize this, but it was quite literally like that. Kireina's seed… Within Kireina's seed, there was a child that could be born with a fully comprehended Dao!
Wouldn't that make her incredibly desirable by literally anyone? As long as they can get her seed and be impregnated, they would be able to acquire a child with a fully comprehended Dao. Which could be later used as a tool!
But… Kireina would never let her children be used as tools!
"And I decline! You're only thinking greedily. You already have so many kids and you're a terrible mother honestly, so I won't give you anything," said Kireina.
"Ugh…" sighed Ova.
"Anyways, what are you going to do with these toddlers? Don't tell me you'll put them into the totem? Isn't that just using them as tools? Then you don't have anything to teach me!" said Ova.
"Shut the fuck up, bad mother! And no, I am not going to use them for that, what the heck is wrong with you? I am just asking for their aid. By merely infusing their Dao Essence and connecting their souls, which has their Dao fused into it to the formation, they'll power it up to the skies through the endless Dao Source Energy from their Dao." Said Kireina.
Kireina wasn't using her children as tools, she was asking them for their assistance, and the kids happily accepted because they loved her.
"Okay, mama! I'll help!" said Electra.
"Grao! Gra!" said Fafnir.
Fafnir and Electra offered their help to Kireina as Kireina smiled happily.
"Alright, sit here you two," said Kireina, as she sat her two babies over two large circular runes, by merely sitting there, their naturally produced Dao Source Energy was assimilated by the entire formation, fueling it with power!
FLAAAAAASH!
Several nods all across the formations started to light up one by one, as wondrous lights continued to emerge all around the entire place. Such a beautiful sight was something that not many could ever see through their entire lives. Especially because this entire formation extended all across a large chunk of the continent where they were, a large flat land. Many of the Gods that helped were now sighing in relief that things were doing well, and it only took roughly 20 minutes!
They even cried because they were so stressed, so seeing it go well made them incredibly and outstandingly happy.
"Uwoooo! We did it!"
"Kireina-sama, we did it!"
"I can't wait for that sweet, sweet bonus!"
"Fufu, I am already tasting those Divine Energy Crystals!"
"Or the Path Jewels!"
"She even said we would be able to get Law Jewels!"
"This is the best, Kireina-sama really rewards us!"
"LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO!"
As the hundreds of Gods above the skies shone brightly in many divinity colors while celebrating the creation of the formation, they worked so hard for, the formation continued to light up through the entire night, forming enormous nodes that crossed through many meters!
Electra and Fafnir didn't have any issue infusing this entire place with power. Dao Source Energy seemed like a residual essence that a Dao produced naturally, which enhance its power. The more comprehended a Dao was, the more power it gave to its effects, which came from this Dao Source Energy!
The combined Dao Source Energy of the Technomancy and Geomancy Daos was infused into the formation and fused together with it, the power of the items distributed across the entire thing began to activate, making everything even more amazingly brightly…
FLAAASH!
And then, Bubu hoped over the tiny circle in the middle of everything.
TRUUUUUUMMM!
As everything finally activated, the entire formation began to compress itself, all the materials, divine runes, pocket formations, scrolls, divine techniques effects added into it, and the Path Jewel ability threads made by Kireina through her Soul which helped her connect Path Jewel Abilities into formations. Alongside the many path jewels abilities of the System, Heavenly Law, Illusion, Monarch of Gluttony, Monarch of Lust, and more, alongside the Dao Fragments, and Bubu as the core… everything, everything! It all merged and compressed into a single force!
It was… strange! It was a large mass of power that began to float in the middle of everything… it emanated such a power that Ova had never seen before, and it then took the shape of a wooden totem resembling a caterpillar.
Plop!
It fell over the ground motionlessly.
Kireina walked towards it as Fafnir and Electra watched at the scene attentively.
She smiled at the totem as her eyes shone brightly, she glanced at the carvings and the fine-tuning of everything, such a small piece of wood contained incredible power. This was… the ultimate totem that she could build up until now! Not even Ova could understand how they managed to do such a monstrous thing in 20 minutes, it would have haven dozens of years for her, if not hundreds!
She realized that the power of these two children had helped a lot, the Dao Source Energy of their Daos that were fully comprehended was the icing on the cake for all of this to work as intended…
Kireina touched the totem as it suddenly fused with her, and turned into beautiful purple, red, and black-colored tattoos across her entire and beautiful body.
"It is done!"
