1052 [The Fated Holy War] 40/?: The Cheat-like Power Of Rebirth
-----
Ailine underwent a complete evolution after devouring Patience and its entire wielders flesh and soul! Additionally by absorbing the dropped crystals he generated, she acquired his full power, and evolved!
Her slime turned gold and white, and her blonde hair became even longer and beautiful, her eyes turned white and then yellow gold, flashing with a myriad of beautiful painting colors.
Her aura emanated a beautiful rainbow acrylic painting-like essence!
She gained a beautiful princess-like white and gold dress, and even a little golden crown!
"Ah, I evolved? Like nee-sama!" said Ailine, as Rimuru congratulated her daughter.
"Well done, Ailine-chan!"
After informing her mother about having acquired the Fragment of the Cosmic Dao of Rebirth to her mother, Ailine resumed the battle with Rimuru, as she helped the rest fight against the leftover Virtues!
Chastity and Patience were done, but Temperance, Charity, Diligence, Kindness, and Humility were left to kill!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
Kireina bathed her in punches, kicks, and even headbutts, as Agatha struggled to survive against the deadly assault of powerful techniques and arts that Kireina had acquired by merging her powers together through fusion of skill! Through her whole journey she had gotten countless techniques from powerful warriors she had devoured, and by fusing all their immemorial techniques learned over years, she had become incredibly good at physical fighting!
"I am not losing to yuuuuuu!!!"
Agatha healed herself using her Dao Essence Healing Art, and continued to fight against Kireina fist with fist, kick with kick, and even headbutt with headbutt!
"It is surprising how resilient of a bitch you are!" said Kireina.
"I would say the same for you, filthy demon!" roared Agatha, gritting her teeth in utter anger as she had already saw Patience being devoured by another of Kireina's children!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Agatha and Kireina bathed each other with powerful attacks, Kireina had transformed to her complete opposite, overflowing herself with the power of Life, Light, Fate, and Law, she had used the fragment of the Dao of Transformation to unleash this powerful and completely holy form.
Agatha, a woman who despised Kireina for representing everything wrong with mortals and their moralities was utterly angered at her very existence. Kireina's existence defied her laws and the way the world wanted them to be. As a faithful devotee of the Laws and Orders of the world, she couldn't wait to slaughter Kireina as hard as possible and as much as possible!
But Kireina was powerful, and incredibly cunning! Her abilities also went incredibly well with her, and her way of fighting was unpredictable and filled with many variables!
Agatha couldn't properly predict Kireina's next movement without using the power of her Dao infused into her, and even then, she ended being punched in the face, guts, and even her crotch several times!
"Guuhh…! RRAAAA!"
Agatha had truly become a warrioress through this fight, her raw anger against Kireina fueled her will to slaughter and eliminate her! She was using the power infused within the countless souls merged with her through her motherly love. She was using every single technique, fusing them together to maintain some level of equality within her power and Kireina, but Kireina was a monster, she simply evolved in battle endlessly!
The longer the battles lasted, the more cunning and powerful she would grow, she would learn about her enemy and copy their power, and even more, enhance it by a tenfold before even using it against her foes!
Agatha noticed this immediately as she realized that Kireina was beginning to copy her abilities and techniques, even copying her fighting style, which she merged with her own too!
Kireina's holiness was so bright it even made Agatha avert her gaze from her, how was she even holier than the literal holy mother?!
"GRAAAA…! I won't tolerate this anymore! Divine Dao Weapons!"
Agatha unleashed her wrath over Kireina! She shaped her Dao Aura into countless weapons, firing them against Kireina with all her wrath and might!
Kireina smiled maliciously at her, as she flashed and created several Palms of Judgement, which began to destroy her Dao weapons and then explode into Essence of Demise, reaching further into Agatha!
Agatha was growing frustrated, how long was Kireina planning to resist! This battle was hopeless! Why was she fighting so much and doing her best so hard?! Couldn't she understand that her struggles were completely hopeless and that there wasn't anything she could do?!
Well… Agatha knew that Kireina was too much of an insane being to even understand what logic was even! Kireina continuously bathed her with attacks without end, as the two women continued to battle into the high heavens, the sky began to crack open as space and time distorted to their power. Two fully assimilated Cosmic Daos were clashing against one another, and Agatha was growing frustrated by how Kireina could have one too!
But Kireina doesn't have just one. With Guubo, she has three Dao! Although they are not fully assimilated into hers but in Bubu, through their connection, she was able to share a large part of Bubu's power!
FLASH!
The Daos of Demise, Calamity, and Destruction flashed within Kireina's power, making her even deadlier and managing to always end up getting the head start against Agatha!
"GOTCHA!"
Kireina finally caught Agatha while she least expected it, using Voidspace Hopping and teleporting behind her! She caught her off guard and then… bathed her with deadly attacks!
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOOM!!!
"GGRRRRYYYAAAAGGH…!"
However, Agatha was not fully killed, falling into pieces, Kireina's hand slipped into her Origin Core!
CLASH!
However, she was met with over a hundred Dao Barriers protecting Agatha's Origin Core!
"You're not getting anywhere! I have already protected it!"
Agatha laughed maniacally as Kireina began to seep her Essence of Demise into the Dao Barriers, and like a vicious and dissolving toxin, it was actually slowly seeping into it!
"W-What!"
Agatha was scared for a second, although the dissolving was very slow!
She had nothing to worry about, she could always make more barriers anyways!
She bathed Kireina with attacks until Kireina waved her hand and killed her by accident!
POOF!
"Damn it!"
Kireina felt frustration, she almost had her!
Agatha emerged right away in front of her, her power growing larger and larger!
"I cannot die, Kireina! I am invincible! I won't lose, no matter what!"
"There's nothing impossible against me." Said Kireina, her resolve was blazing brightly as Agatha realized that two of her Virtues were caught!
"Agh!"
FLAAAASH!
"I WON'T LET YOU HAVE YOUR WAY NOW!"
Agatha used her newfound power after her new Rebirth, rushing to kill Kireina's family so they wouldn't dare touch and eat another Virtue!
However, Kireina grabbed her leg and threw her to the other side with incredible power!
"Off you go!
"GGRYYAAGGH…!"
BOOOOMMM!!!
Agatha was thrown over the Dao Domain's walls, as she vomited a mouthful of blood and even felt dizzy!
How could Kireina be strong even after she had undergone so many Rebirths?
Kireina, while flying towards Agatha, realizing something within her Divine Realm.
"Wait…" she muttered.
"What is it?" asked Ova.
"Agatha could had killed herself when I was seeping my Essence of Demise into her, yet… she was completely fine with not doing it? She simply provoked me until I killed her… She can't kill herself?" wondered Kireina.
"Don't tell me…" muttered Ova.
"The conditions to activate the Dao of Rebirth is… that you must die by the hands of an enemy, not of yourself!" said Kireina, shocking news reached her soul's mind, as she realized a part of the intricate inner workings of the powerful Cosmic Dao of Rebirth!
Apparently, to activate it, Agatha couldn't kill herself.
This was why she didn't abused it, and it might seem to not work with her allies either, it has to be an enemy with the greatest intention of killing her, a genuine one.
Kireina was incapable of abusing this "loophole" however, as she really, really wanted to kill Agatha at any costs!
Jupiter and Leoganz overlooked the chaotic battlefield, Kireina's army was already devastating Agatha's army after she cut the connection with Agatha's Dao of Rebirth with them.
However, inside the Dao Domain that Agatha used to encompass herself with Kireina's group, the battle was still going on as blazing as always!
Jupiter was a fairly strong Great God, and so was Leoganz, but even them felt an instinctual concern by seeing the two fight, if they were to intervene now, they would be only getting in Kireina's way, she was the only one capable of stopping Agatha properly as of now…
"The Cosmic Dao of Rebirth… What a terrifying power!" said Jupiter.
"Not even our masters had grasped it, haven't they'" asked Leoganz.
"I do not know. But it seems to be incredible… It just literally lets Agatha be rebirthed an infinite amounts of times?! It doesn't even have a cost?" asked Jupiter.
"It must have one, but Agatha produces the fuel automatically faster than it can end… Therefore, it feels as if it was infinite, her fuel is almost infinite too…" said Leoganz.
"I see…"
"However, there's a weakness to this Dao… Every Dao has one. The most obvious one is that Agatha cannot abuse her own power, and can only be killed by her enemies to be rebirthed, if she kills herself or kills herself through allies just to gain the power boost, it wont work and she'll die for real…" said Leoganz.
"Incredible, you were able to discern it yourself, Leoganz?!" asked Jupiter.
"Indeed. Just by looking with my Dimensional Lion's Eyes of Truth, I was able to analyze the dimensions within Agatha and Kireina's fight, extract and incorporate info and graphics, and reach a conclusion to her weakness. But it is something that Kireina cannot abuse, she hates Agatha to no end, so she cannot suddenly become her ally and only want to kill her to make her stronger… and suddenly kill her for real, it won't do!" said Leoganz.
"Damn it…" muttered Jupiter.
"However, Kireina is a cunning woman, she has a plan, and she's unfolding it right now!"
Leoganz looked over Kireina and Agatha's fight, as the Virtues being chased down by her family became alerted, two of them were caught, and Agatha had tried to save them, but was once more caught by Kireina's immense strength and thrown away!
Temperance and Charity were caught within the deadly grasp of two groups!
Temperance was a radiant adult man with bright blue hair, calm expression, and an enormous armor, blade, and shield, resembling an angel due to the wings made of light made from his magic…
However, his face was of utter horror, as a trio of deadly sharks smiled at him with their sharp, very sharp teeth!
"Hehehe… He's weak!" laughed Valentia.
"Let's see if he can contain his breath…" said Aarae.
"Maybe frying him up with electricity could work too…" said Gaby.
What a terrifying family trio!
