Chaos and Order - A Multiverse Fanfic

The Sword Spirit had caused rows of words to appear within Kai, originating from his soul.

At first, Kai had thought these words were nothing but a way to force him into a state of Comprehension.

At first, he had thought that the yellow strokes joining the nine stars were nothing but a way for him to gain an Epiphany of his Inner World's essence; to devour, to seal; the Parselscript!

He had thought that the yellow strokes of Parselscript running in between the stars had taken the shape of the Path of the Flaming Sword; the order in which the 10 Sefirot were created by Ein Sof.

So, this path must represent his Sword Spirit's ultimate technique.

And at first, Kai had thought that the yellow-haired being's hisses belonged to a male.

Those guesses now turned out to be wrong.

-Call my name… I am the Pre-Existential Entity, the Embodiment of Darkness, Evil, Impurity, and Chaos.-

Kai flicked his swords and resumed a standing position midair, his decayed, bare feet hovering three inches above the blood ocean.

Only after gaining Comprehension did Kai truly understand that what he considered his Tree of Life, for others, it was…

… The Tree of Death!

Sefirot were the emanations of God and there was nothing holier than them.

Holy? What had this word had anything to do with Kai, his Individuality, his Imprint on the Vast Cosmos?

No. The starry constellation in the night was not holy, but something entirely opposite.

It was Ein Sof, who created the ten holy Sefirot. But Ein Sof was the God, and God said, "I Am That I Am."

Only later did Kai come to know that his Sword Spirit was darkness to light, evil to good, chaos to order; everything that God was and represented, she was Not.

-Call my name… I Am That I Am Not.-

The entire blood world was now fluctuating between the boundary of imaginary and real.

A projection of a town, covered in shadows, was trying hard to collapse this world, replacing the Reality Marble with Reality.

Shadow Lord roared, black and blue lightning rumbling around him as the sky collapsed. He saw the tiny being, engulfed in blood flames, standing upright, and his blood boiled.

A massive foot descended, stomping Kai.

Boommmmmm!

-Call my name… I Am Nothing.-

Only after his Comprehension, Kai realized that his Sword Spirit had created his Tree of Life, marked by the nine stars in the constellation, in the reverse order.

According to the Path of the Flaming Sword, Ein Sof had created the 10 Sefirot, starting from the Crown at the top to the Realm at the end.

Kai's Sword Spirit had instead begun with the 10th Star — his heart.

She had used Kai's Will, and then she had proceeded to create the next nine Stars in the reverse order, reaching the Crown, the pale yellow star that existed within the hole in the sky.

She was NOT Ein Sof. The yellow path generated by Parselscript was NOT the Path of the Flaming Sword. The starry constellation in the sky was NOT the structure of the 10 Sefirot.

Kai was lying over the blood ocean, his hands outstretched.

His gaze went beyond the sky, to the darkness he had seen before the appearance of the stars.

-Your true form is said to be incomprehensible; a mass of absolute darkness that extends infinitely in all directions,- Kai hissed, his breath rattling.

These words were etched in his soul as if he had always known them.

Then Kai stood up and hovered midair. The Blood Flames had become even denser, his Reiatsu burning the surrounding space.

-And when you show yourself,- Dementor-Kai hissed, looking at the vast blood ocean, -you take the form of an… expanding field of endless blood.-

It was at this moment Kai realized why… just why the Blood Prophecy always took the shape of figures rising from a blood ocean.

It was not Cersei's ACT that made it happen.

Blood Prophecy… those prophecies generated with Kai's Inner World as the basis.

Kai's gaze deepened as he looked at the vast bloody field.

Within the blood ocean, which was no deeper than ankles, one could see an endless rippling blood-like mass, almost as vast as the mysterious depths of the cosmos.

-You… are not Ein Sof, the God,- Kai whispered out a frigid breath. -You were there even before him. And you were there… even before the universe was created…-

The moment Kai's hisses stopped, a figure took shape within the blood ocean, replacing Kai's blurry, bloody reflection.

This figure was entirely black, had long clawed arms and legs, and its hair was yellow, swaying high without wind.

It had no face, either. It was just a being.

She was Kai's Sword Spirit.

-Keke!- the Sword Spirit's cackle thundered evilly across the Reality Marble. -This one will be called Supreme Sounga.-

Instantly, a yellow stroke appeared under Sounga's hilt, just like the one under the hilt of Murasame.

And Kai let go of the swords.

The tip of both Limitless Murasame and Supreme Sounga's blades kissed the blood ocean and fell into it without creating ripples.

The Release Call appeared in Kai's mind, along with Zanpakuto's true name in his heart.

"Devour…"

Kai mumbled, his Reiatsu finally reaching the might of a Contestant infinitely near the strength of the 10th floor.

"… Ayin!"

BOOMMM!

The moment the swords vanished into the blood ocean, the entire world shook.

The incoming, raging Shadow Lord trembled before pausing as if some kind of constraint had been placed on him.

Strangely, when the swords went inside the blood ocean, within his reflection, their hilts appeared first.

Ayin, the Zanpakuto, grabbed the two swords and instantly stabbed them back into the blood surface that was acting as a mirror between her and Kai.

Rumble!!!

Two massive hilts protruded out of the blood ocean.

Kai's scabbed hands grabbed those hilts, and he flew up, pulling the swords out.

Calling them mere swords would do them incredible injustice. These swords were massive, as long as Kai, their width almost wider than his waist.

In his right hand was Limitless Murasame, but it was no Katana anymore. It had become a black and white curved heavy sword without a guard.

The moment Kai's Reiatsu, the blood flames, drenched the sword, they became sinister, cursed black flames.

In his left hand was Supreme Sounga, its shape and color exactly similar to Murasame.

When Kai's Reiatsu drowned the enormous blade, it gained the form of purple flames; pure evil.

"HAHA!" Shadow Lord's laugh boomed. "SO WHAT? YOU THINK TRANSFORMING SWORDS WILL LET YOU LIVE?! THEY ARE STILL PUNY! THEY ARE…"

The colossal Shadow Lord got choked on his words.

This?!

Others couldn't see Kai's Sword Spirit in his reflection, but they could see a reflection.

And because of Shadow Lord's 1000 ft tall stature, he could see that reflection clearer than anyone.

That reflection didn't contain Kai, but it did have two swords.

Yet, these swords were so large, so gigantic, that they felt like two metallic mountains.

666 ft!

This was the length of the swords' blades, going endlessly deep into the reflection, becoming bloody darkness itself.

This was also the true size of Kai's Zanpakuto.

If Kai hadn't Comprehended his Inner World's essence already, he couldn't have controlled their size. Much less needed to be said about even wielding them.

"YOU…" Shadow Lord voiced, his enormous pupils trembling, "… MUST DIE!"

The shadow titan raised his fists as if he wanted to hammer Kai, shattering the world along with him.

Kai, too, lifted the massive curved heavy swords in response and poured his entire Reiatsu within them.

Shuuuu!!!

All the blood flames around Kai vanished, becoming black flames around Limitless Murasame and purple flames around Supreme Sounga.

Endless cursed runic marks manifested within the black flames, and within the purple flames, three evil dragons roared, forecasting a world-ending tornado.

Kill him! Supreme Sounga's voice echoed in Kai's mind.

Kill him! Murasame's cursed intention seeped into Kai's heart.

-Keke!- Ayin's evil cackle shuddered his soul. -Kill him! Unleash me! Unleash my power! Kai Stormborn!-

"Path of the Ascending Flames…"

If the path of the flaming sword represented the flames that had descended from Heaven to Earth, then the twisting, serpentine yellow path created by Parselscript represented the flames rising from Hell to Earth.

The 10th star in Kai's heart lit up as he fused his Demonic Will into the swords.

And as the shadowy, miniature sun-like fists darkened the sky, Kai hacked.

Purple and Black Flames soared like the most ominous flames from the netherworld, and in an instant, they reached Shadow Lord.

Almost at the same time, nine stars lit up on Shadow Lord's titanic figure, in the formation of the constellation in the sky.

The 10th star glowed hideously on the Pirate Lord's forehead.

Shuuu!

Hisss!!

The purple and black flames slithered from one star to another as if someone was using a brush to draw strokes on paper.

Their appearance was the same as when Kai had drawn the yellow strokes on the sky.

Shadow Lord couldn't even move.

He couldn't say, see, hear, touch, taste, or feel.

As the purple and black flames slithered up, creating the illusion of a demonic, sinister snake coiling up a tree, everything about Shadow Lord got sealed.

In just a fraction of a second, the flames reached the last star, the 10th.

The Tree of Death lit up on Shadow Lord's body and... it ended.

RUMBLEEEE!

Shadow Lord's colossal body rumbled and shattered, his very existence getting sealed under the might of Zanpakuto, Ayin.

It was also then the swords in Kai's hands descended and he finished his words.

"… Qliphoth Genesis!"
