Chapter 50. Madara Plan
(Ise POV)
…To my grandpa in heaven. It seems like I really do get involved in many things. Finally the time for me to drink tea with the ultimate being has come…..
A strange mixture of members are gathered in the VIP room. We the Gremory-Team (Kiba and Gasper came but Koneko-chan is still resting in her room) + Irina, Ravel, Sensei, and Outlaws Le Fay, Fenrir, Kuroka and Ophis who is the centre of this meeting. A gathering of those for who it would normally be impossible to meet.
"Here is your tea."
Akeno-san gave green tea to the Outlaws members and Ophis while being on alert. Le Fay drinks green tea, while Kuroka is eating snacks that go well with tea. Fenrir is sleeping near Le Fay… They sure don't have any feeling of being nervous…..
Kiba also came and is on standby behind me. His expression is the same as usual but he has his senses sharp on alert so he can jump in anytime he wants.
Gyasuke went to Koneko-chan's place. It seems like he's worried about Koneko-chan who is his friend. If he is beside her, Koneko-chan should calm down to a certain degree. Her mating desire make she think that I was Kai and she almost jump on me! It seem she still love Kai
I then whispered into Sensei's ear who is sitting next to me.
(…..So what should I do?)
An obvious question to ask. Sensei asked us to listen to her story. But I don't know in what manner to progress the conversation. The group members are also here with awkward faces and are feeling nervous. That's because we won't know if an unimaginable battle will occur because of something! If that happens, I think this town will blow up starting from this house… It is certain that we would be annihilated. Then Sensei replies to me who is nervous.
(She is interested in you. So answer her if she asks a question. It will be a good opportunity to understand her.)
(E-Even if you say that! S-She's the boss of the terrorists and is the ultimate-dragon right…? On top of that she's stronger than Sensei and Sirzechs-sama!)
I won't be able to get rid of this nervousness even if Sensei is beside me! Won't you also die with us if it turns into a battle!?
(She won't do something like going on a rampage. If you compare her to Vali and Cao Cao, she basically has no will towards battle. She won't do something like attacking others besides Great Red. So it means you will be having a conversation with her representing each of the factions in the World. Listen okay? Just have a good time and have tea with her! Got it!)
Even if you say that….. I could only be confused while scratching my cheek. I mean I have two tests waiting for me, so what are we doing here…. There are too many things happening! Is this also the power of Sekiryuutei that attracts power?
…It must be. The fact is that she came here because she took an interest in me. So did my power finally attract the ultimate being? It seems like it finally became serious… I made a sigh while thinking like that, and Ophis just stared right at me.
"…."
I moved my lips and put on a smile and asked.
"T-T-Then what business do you have with me…?"
Smile. I need to smile. I can't be afraid. It's dangerous that a single one of my words can cause trouble for all the factions of the World. I don't want to have my name engraved in history for something weird!
[Oppai-Dragon has become the cause for the destruction of the human world.]
I will cry if something like that gets recorded in the student's textbook in the Underworld! Ophis put her mouth onto the tea. She then put it on the table and spoke.
"Ddraig. Do you want to quit being a Heavenly-Dragon?"
…..H-Hmmm…. It feels like she asked something that I don't get from the start. I let words out of my mouth while putting on a smiley face.
"….Ummm, no. I don't understand what you are trying to say….."
"The human who is the host. He's been having a different sense of growth up until now. I think this is very strange. Very different from previous Heavenly-Dragons. Vali is also the same. Strange. Very strange."
…Me and Vali's growth? That's strange? Ophis continues.
"The fight against Cao Cao. The fight against Bael. Ddraig had different evolutions. Armour turned Crimson-coloured. It's the first time. First time that I know of."
…So the fact my armour turned crimson is already known. I thought that it would be scary the next time I met Cao Cao. Ophis still continues.
"That's why I want to ask. Ddraig. What will you become?"
She asked while twitching her neck. Ara, she's cute. I thought something like that! But how should I answer her… Should I just say that I trained without thinking only seeking for breasts and powered up? But that won't be the answer that Ophis is looking for.
Then my gauntlet appeared by itself.
…Is it Ddraig? Ddraig then said it so everyone could hear it.
[I don't know Ophis. I don't know what this guy wants to become. I don't know but… It's certain that he's having an interesting growth.]
Oh, nice one! It will be easier to have Ddraig talk! So I hope that the discussion will become good between the legendary dragons! I will support you if it turns into a fight, so I leave it to you partner! Ophis looked at my gauntlet and talked.
"Two-heavenly dragons mixed, I, as the "infinite" and Great Red as the "dream" into the chant. Ddraig, why did you think of becoming the king of domination?"
[…It must be the result of seeking strength. Because of that, I was eliminated. I couldn't become strong besides increasing the power of "domination". I never thought that my red colour could turn to crimson.]
"I don't understand "domination". Those from "Khaos Brigade" seek domination. I don't understand. Great-Red isn't "domination". I also am not "domination"."
[There is no way for a being that has been strong from the beginning would be able to understand the reasons for "domination". You who was born from the "nothingness" of "infinite" and Great-Red who was born from "illusions" from "dream" must have been from a different dimension. Ophis. You appeared in this World getting out from the dimensional gap. What have you attained from this World, and why did you think of returning to your homeland?]
'I attain Kai in this World... But this World take him back from me... And now I have nothing left except my Old Home' Ophis really tempted to voice her mind but she remember that Kai didn't want the truth about him being revealed to his friend so she speak otherwise "I also want to question you. Ddraig. Why do you try to become a different being? Will you discard "domination"? What is ahead after that?"
…She answers him by questioning him. I mean I don't even understand these guy's conversation at all. I don't understand even a single thing! There are things that are hard to understand from a conversation between Dragons. It also felt like Albion, Midgardsormr, Vritra, and Yu-long spoke in their own pace of time. The usual Ddraig and old-man Tannin had some human behaviour in them you could say so it was easy to understand them…. But seeing Ddraig and Ophis speak like this makes me think that Ddraig holds a different perspective towards the World from mine. Maybe it is because they know a different view of the World from me.
"…Very interesting indeed. A conversation between a Heavenly-Dragon and a Dragon-God is something you don't see often."
Sensei was listening to their conversation with his eyes sparkling. He does seem like he likes these kinds of things. Well I will leave this to my partner then. If it is me, then I won't be able to keep up with Ophis's conversation. I thought that my partner was someone I can depend on that much, but it changes after seeing his reaction with Ophis's next question!
"Ddraig, will you become the Chichiryutei? Can you surpass a Heavenly-dragon by groping tits? Ddraig, will you become a dragon that represents tits?"
Ddraig who heard that….. Reacts in a way in which he needs to inhale some air!
[Ugg….Even Ophis ends up saying that… Uuu! Haahaa….! My consciousness got cut! Counsellor! Someone call the counsellor!]
Crap! It seems like he is about to break because he received too much damage mentally! I got the medicine out and sprinkled it onto the jewel!
"Calm down Ddraig! Here's the medicine!"
Ddraig who had his jewel sprinkled with medicine had his feelings relaxed and starts to calm down.
[….Ah..Yeah…. S-sorry… This m-medicine sure works…]
….You are too delicate….. It looks like Ddraig's soul is exhausted for real. Sorry! I'm really sorry!
"This really familiar scene..."
"Indeed, Nya!"
Le Fay and Kuroka who sit whispered to each other with bitter voice. Familiar? What they mean?
"I want to look. Ddraig. I want to look at this possessor even more."
Ophis stares at me again!
….M-Me…..? Oh man….. Even if she's emotionless, it seems like her eyes have the colour of interest in it….!
"And... ...I want to see what kind of person Kai brother is..."
Hearing that word I blanched. Everyone in room seems tensed when hearing "Kai" name especially Asia.
Its been almost 2 weeks after Kai dead. Kai was my little brother that become evil... And... And I'm the one who kill him...
"What your relation with Kai?"
I asked bitterly. Ophis who hearing this merely tilt her head then she grip the... Pendant? Huh? If I recall this is the first time I see that necklace, I didn't see her wearing that last time
'Kai didn't said I can't tell them about our status as mate... Well then I think it won't be problem' Ophis thought with nod inwarldly "Hyoudou Kai was my ma-mmph!"
Oh before she can finish Le Fay clamp her mouth!
"O-Ophis-sama please reconsider your word before blurted out something!"
She said quickly while whispering something to Ophis ear. Hey! Hey! You hiding something!
After a moment Le Fay pull back her head and Ophis give her brief nod
"Hyoudou Kai are my personal bodyguard. He and I share a... Close relationship..."
"Close relationship?"
I can't help but blurted out that immediately in shock. Even everyone in room seem interested! What you mean by close?!
"Hmm... According to the Anime in TV you can say we have relationship similar like the one in Hayate the Combat Butler..."
H-Hayate the Combat Butler?! Isn't that anime where the little Ojou-chan had massive crush on her butler?! D-Does that mean Ophis here had crush on Kai?! Are you serious?!
"Basically, Kai are Ophis-sama personal butler..."
Le Fay told us with giggle. I can't help but shocked again hearing this. I... I see... So Ophis had strange relationship like that with my brother huh?
Sensei breathes out and then put his hand on my shoulder.
"So like that, can you leave her in this house for a few days? Just as you see, Ophis wants to look at you. I don't know what reason there is behind this, but it will be fine if it's just looking right?"
Even if you say it like that… Having her who is the boss of the terrorists and the final boss look at me with interested eyes is a bit…. I looked at Rias for help but…
"I don't mind if Ise is okay with it. Of course we will be on alert and we will have to stop her with full force if anything happens. If you accept that, then I will…..take this request, Azazel."
…..! Rias is okay with it!?
….I think she took an interest in Ophis's true motive! If we can find the string that will lead to the collapse of Khaos Brigade then we can't ask for anything more! If we can stop the terrorist organisation by talking to their boss, then that would be the best.
Having the fight stop without spilling blood seems peaceful and good. But I don't think that Cao Cao would stop that easily. It seems like the revolt in each area where he tells the Sacred Gear possessors how to attain Balance-Break is still going on but is being taken care off with few exceptions….. And in a situation like that, Ophis's thoughts will change the direction of the World. And deciding that would depend… On my actions?
Why is such an important task placed into my hands!? I just want to live peacefully with everyone! Why does everyone bring such troubles and causes to me!? I just want to live in peeeeeeeeace!
….Even if I shout like that within my heart, it's certain that I have to accept this request.
"….I'm OK with it as well. It's just that the tests are coming up soon, so if she's not a nuisance then its okay."
I gave up after giving the minimum rule. Sensei puts his hand on my head.
"I'm sorry for dragging you in every time, Ise. Putting stress on you even though it's right before your important test… But this is a chance. If it goes smoothly, then the threat that each faction is facing might lessen."
Yes, yes. I will do my best… I can't decline it if Sensei bows his head down. You are my benefactor after all.
"I'm not in the position to say this but Ophis and Kuroka, these guys have important tests coming up so just don't disturb them."
"Understood."
"I will just relax nyan."
Ophis and Kuroka agreed to Sensei's order. Did they really agree to it….? I was looking at the two of them with doubtful eyes and then Le Fay came to me pushing out something. It was an autograph paper. She says it while twitching her body.
"U-Umm! The battle against Bael the other day! I was deeply moved! Please give me your signature if it isn't too much!"
….Oh yeah. This girl is my fan. Hahaha. All of Vali's comrades are crazy strong but they do lack in being nervous and they are all weirdos.
"Yeah, yeah."
I signed her autograph paper while making a bitter smile. Like this, we took in an absurd visitor and spent our days together untill the test day.
Ophis who staring at me then look to my gauntlet with intense gaze. What she want? She then approach my gauntlet orb and... Touch it?
Deepest part of Boosted Gear (Third Person POV)
Kai who sitting in shadow alone suddenly feel presence entering his place. He sighed, thinking it was Eisha or Belzard again
"Eisha-san, Belzard-san. How many time I have to say-"
"Kai..."
Kai freeze when he hear a familiar voice call him. No, it can't be! She can't be here! Why she come here?!
Lifting his face slowly, his eyes widened when see Ophis standing in front of his barrier
"O-Ojou-chan!" Kai blurted out in shock
"Kai..." Ophis smiled. She knew it! No one can tell but she sense it even it only faint and almost 0. But there Kai aura come from Boosted Gear! She doubt everyone can sense it by exception of her. She then take step and start to approach him
Kai eventually snapped from his shock and extend his hand in stopping manner
"Wait! Stop! Don't!" He said and Ophis stopped "You can't touch this barrier! If you touch it Nii-san and Ddraig will aware of my presence!" He panicked
Ophis who hearing this scowled but she still not moved
"But I want to and..." Ophis paused and her eyes widened when see Kai only had one arm "Your hand..." She pointed in surprise
"Oh this?" Kai point to missing hand along with the shoulder "Its fine, didn't hurt.." He move his other hand and touch it "I'm just part of Original chakra that unconsciously trapped inside here..."
"I know..." Ophis muttered bitterly "You are Kai 'energy' when you calmed down your brother..." She then stare at Kai with sad eyes "I miss you..." She said and Kai put sad smile
"So do I... I'm sure the original miss you so much..." Kai said to her and Ophis bowed her head "How you been?" He asked
"Bad..." Ophis scowled "I can't make the same Taiyaki just like yours. I want to eat your Taiyaki..." She said and Kai laughed
"I can help you with that..." Kai smiled and Ophis immediately pull out paper and pen out of nowhere
"Tell me the recipe!" She said with sparkling eyes
Kai only shook his head in amusement, he really miss Ophis presence. He then tell her how to make the Taiyaki like he did and Ophis write it down
After Kai done Ophis let out air from her nose and puff her chest in proud manner
"I have make all character in our Dynasty Warrior level to 50!" She said proudly and Kai sweatdropped though he still smiling
"I... I see... Then what game you playing now?" Kai asked with strained smile
"I'm playing Playbot The Mansion..." Ophis answered
"WHAT?!" Kai yelled in shock when thinking Ophis playing adult game
"Just kidding..." Ophis said when see Kai reaction make the sharingan wielder facefaulted
'Since when she can kidding?! Ah, what did I miss?! If I recall I'm just few months younger than Original!' Kai thought while rubbing his face "Please don't joke like that again, it not good for my health..."
"You not even living..." Ophis deadpanned and Kai eyes twitched
'And smarter too...'."Touche..." Kai grumbled
Ophis actually find it amusing finding Kai reaction like this. She really miss her mate. Right now she really tempted to jump and kiss him but she can't. This Kai isn't the same Kai that with her
This Kai is younger... And they still not formed into mate... But maybe he knew the answer she seeking
"I can't bring you back to life..." Ophis said
Kai who hearing this blinked
"You... You didn't go to Realm of the Dead and trashing Hades right?" Kai asked in serious tone and to his relief Ophis shook her head
"I try to use Edo Tensei(Impure World Reanimation)." Ophis told him and Kai eyes widened
"The Original finished Edo Tensei?!" Kai said in shock 'To think the Original really remade that cursed technique. Sure at first I make it just because curious but... To finish Edo Tensei in months, what did Original find that make him able to finish it in short time?' Kai thought before he stare at Ophis "And you try to bring me back using it?!" He asked and Ophis nodded "Ojou-chan, you shouldn't do that. I'm sure the Original won't be happy if you bring him back!" He lectured and Ophis bowed her head in shame
Kai seeing this let out sigh. He knew he plan to make Edo Tensei, as he recall, he already start to working on it ever since he learn necromacy
Then something clicked in his mind
"Wait. You said you can't bring me back to life using it, right?" He asked and Ophis nodded "Please explain..." Kai asked
"It didn't work. I already follow the instruction and everything. I use White Zetsu as sacrifice so your energy become stronger, I even combine it with my snakes..." Ophis said
"Please be more specific about didn't work..." Kai ordered 'And he finish project Zetsu too. Last time I didn't able to finish it because I can't balance Ying and Yang chakra inside me, how did the Original do that?' He thought silently
"At first when I cast the technique the white Zetsu body slowly engulfed by ash. It was spreading to it entire body and turned into complete you then I give my snake to Zetsu. All is actually went pretty well. The Zetsu turned into you but suddenly 'you' began to trashing around and your apperance change then before I able to do anything you open portal to Dimensional Gap and gone." Ophis finished her story
Kai who hearing actually find it was really shocking. What does it mean? He didn't know how Edo Tensei work actually but he knew that basically there nothing wrong with the proceed, he had seen in Anime Naruto that Fu guy or Torune guy got reanimated
"You said my appearance change before right?" Kai asked and Ophis nodded
"Half your hair turn to black spiky and get longer before turned into white." Ophis repeated and Kai hummed for moment before he widened his eyes in horror
'No, no, no. It can't be him! But that appearance only belong to him! But how?! How it possible?!' Kai thought with horror
Ophis meanwhile stare at Kai with impassive face but inside she scowled. She can tell Kai are panic for some reason, and Kai is always calm. If he got panic then something bad clearly happen
'!?' Ophis eyes widened when she feel something disturb her flow of energy. It as if something just got released from her control, but she didn't make pact with someone except...
"Kai... Edo Tensei is being cancelled..." Ophis told Kai who now become pale further
'Shit... What had I done? I let free a monster with infinite power! I just create a evil, genius and colder version of Ophis! Oh Great Red, I hope you do something at least! If he got his hand on Frostmourne and eat lesser God then...' Kai thought with horror. He can't tell what horror that HE will bring to this world!
"Ojou-chan..." Kai called with serious
"Yes?" Ophis asked
"If the Original me approaching you sometime, do NOT trust him immediately! It can be another person impersonate me..." Kai warned "And trust me. This guy is dangerous beyond anything..."
Later with Ise
Everyone in room look to Ophis who touching Boosted Gear, it been few seconds she touch it before she pull her hands back
"What are you doing?" Ise asked
"I'm just checking something. It appear the Piece inside you affecting Ddraig..." Ophis answered and everyone blinked
"Well. Ajuka did say that your Evil Piece is change..."Azazel who listening told everyone
'Is that true Ddraig?' Ise asked
[It appear so... But...] Ddraig paused and narrowed his eyes
'What's wrong?'
[Nothing... Just my imagination...] Ddraig replied
'If you say so then...' Ise replied as he then go to study for promotion exam
[I had to check it by myself...] Ddraig thought as he went to deepest part of Boosted Gear. He sure he feel Kai, Ki before. He didn't mention it to Ise of fear that his host will went to shock again
Few days ago when Ophis found Edo Tensei folder
*PROJECT EDO TENSEI (Impure World Reincarnation)*
"Edo Tensei?" Ophis tilted her head before she open the folder and read it
Secret Storage #13
Hyoudou Kai here. If it not me who open it then congratulations! You just found one of secret place in Survivor! And this actually the most secret one! Since the password is come from the computer and I insert it by random typing on the keyboard, but thanks to my Sharingan I manage to remember where it is
Vali, if it you who find this box then you should know, this was the perfect data and the most detailed one more than I give to you before... Use it wisely but remember the dead should stay dead unless they had unfinished business, and knowing you I sure you will use it wisely...
This storage contain one of my most secret researchs and also forbidden one. Beware that this project is unstable that's why I seal it but I don't want to destroy it since it was a result of hard work
The blood vial in there is my blood while the scroll is what you called White Zetsu. It was prototype of Zetsu that I manage to create, since I contain Shinju Chakra I manage to split part of it into Yin and Yang. The Yang Chakra I often use for experiment and thanks to that too I manage to create Nature Call, the device that manipulate Senjutsu. And the Prototype Zetsu is made from fragment of pure Yang Chakra
White Zetsu is living being but it so weak. It just like a normal human and contain no speciality other than fast regeneration though not so great, it only have 4 times stronger regeneration. Just place blood and channel your energy to the scroll and White Zetsu will appear...
However I will write warning just like in other storage. If you must know each my device is risky and dangerous. By unleashing one of it you should knew that you hold high responsibility. Then why I create it? Simple, I'm scientist and creating something is in my blood
Know that Knowledge and Technology won't bring any harm to anyone unless you use it with reckless. Whoever you are use this with wisdom...
This technique that I manage to create is called Edo Tensei... I never perform it but I sure it will work. However what will happen to the being that being reborned is still unknown and I don't want to take risk since this world is different...
Unlike all reborned being, Edo Tensei is technique that will give the individuals that reincarnated will gain unlimited power and stamina. You can say it was like psuedo of infinite. The reincarnated are impossible to kill by normal means. Any damage they receive will easily regenerate, be it lost limbs or complete disintegration. Not even killing the summoner gets rid of them. Even if part of the head of a reincarnated is destroyed, if enough of the head remains, they are still capable of performing techniques to counter the enemy
The reincarnated can also have their bodies modified and experimented on. While the technique usually reincarnates one as they were upon death, the reincarnated can also have various points from their life combined to get the best possible results, example. If you put large amount of light element inside the sacrifice, even devil will able to wield holy sword
But of course, the process aren't easy since there possible the sacrifice body and the souls of reincarnated being when merged will reject each other
I didn't have much thing to say since I never test this technique actually and only the summoner that can put the reincarnated down without using force. How to do that is-
Ophis keep reading the data for few minutes and her eyes widened when she finishing read the folder. If what this data said is true then
"I can bring back Kai..." She murmured "And he will become infinite like me!" She muttered with wider eyes
Bring back Kai as God of Infinite same like her... That was brilliant!
With nod, Kai open the scroll that contain white Zetsu then place Kai blood to it and soon White Zetsu appear
Ophis then polish Kai's blood to White Zetsu body then she hummed while read the scroll again.
"It said the body of sacrifice can be modified..." She murmured. She then extend her hand and her black snake appear, circling Zetsu. She put barrier on the lab so it not damaged then the snake entering Zetsu body
Suddenly a massive amount of power radiated from Zetsu body who screamed. It feature change from white humanoid into some kind of black humanoid western dragon with glowing yellow eyes
Ophis then performed rune symbol in the ground and circling the dragonoid Zetsu. After that she place Kai blood's in special scroll then wetting it. Then she performed hand seals and make chakra. Unlike Kai body who flowed by chakra, in DxD world chakra are unique energy that mixed between Ki and Magic. You can say it combined both of them and mastered it very hard
"Edo Tensei!" Ophis declared as the blood in scroll turned into ash and dust, encase the Zetsu. Zetsu screamed in pain before slowly all the dust and ash engulf it and it size shrunk
Ophis who watching slowly had wide eyes when see the Zetsu slowly shaped into Kai. It skin turn into same skin like Kai, hair grow from it head and it face reformed into Kai stoic face
When it done, Kai stand in front of Ophis with closed eyes and stoic face
Ophis seeing Kai can't help but smile. She really miss him.. But now she had done it, Kai are reborn and turn into infinite like her!
Before she able to do anything suddenly Kai body twitched before it moved and morphing. Kai screamed as he open his eyes and reveal it crimson with few concentric ring and 9 tomoes. He began to trashing like a sick person
"Kai!" Ophis yelled in worry
Kai body slowly change. Half of his brown hair turn to spiky black and get longer
Ophis about to do something but suddenly a swirling vortex appear behind the transformed Kai and engulf him before she able to do anything, teleported Kai
Ophis who left behind only can stare at shock
'What happen?' She thought
Unknown Location (Kai POV)
...
Where am I?
...
Dark... Is this... Is this realm of dead? Am I... Dead?
...
I slowly open my eyes. The first thing I see its... White... White cell?
I blinked before slowly sit while held my head. Damn it! Dead is really painful! It seem my life span is reduced to zero the moment I pull out all my chakra it reduced my own life force...
I then began to look around and notice I was in...
I blinked few times again, clearly surprised. Isn't this my mindscape?
Yes. A doctor office like this... I then began to stand and look around. It was still same like last time I come. I then turn and see the usual black door where Madara prisoned and the door was opened...
...
...
"WHAT?!" I yelled before I jump from my bed and then walk to the door. I entering inside and to my horror Madara is gone!
What the hell?! Where is he?! Does it mean he died the moment I also dead?! If that true then why I'm here?
"Does it mean he take my place and dead?!" I muttered aloud
"Feh. There's no way I will sacrifice my life for you..."
That's Madara voice?!
"Madara!" I barked as I began to look around "Where are you?!"
Suddenly the whole room blurred and now I was in... A... Land...
"Where is this..." I muttered. This land is filled with many mountains. I now stand in one of mountain top. I can see from here, in these mountain ranges, many rivers flow to the sea, creating a very crooked coastline that displays an impressive oceanic beauty
Okay the scene was very beauty I admit it but now that not the case!
"Land of Lightning..."
I turn and see Madara then my eyes widened. He... Change...
Gone his armor and black hair, now he had dark red hair and grey-coloured skin, and he wear a full-bodied black garment with black pants, gloves, and boots, over which he wore a flowing white robe with six black magatama markings across his chest and the familiar pattern of a black Rinnegan and nine black magatama markings in rows of three on his back.
A grey horn-like protrusions grew out of his left temple and overlapped his forehead akin to a protector with an upward-curve on the right temple, giving him an overall appearance very similar to that of the Sage of the Six Paths.
"What happen to you?" I asked as I observe his form and he smirked
"This Boy, is Sage of the Six Paths form.." Madara chuckled
"Sage of the Six Paths form?"
"Yes. This is my state when I become Juubi Jinchuuriki..." He smirked and I narrowed my eyes
"How you able to free? And what you mean by Land of Lightning?" I asked other question
"Ah. You can say this place is where Kumogakure stand in my world..." He answered and my eyes widened "This is where I dead due to Juubi extraction thanks for that Rabbit Goddess..." He said sarcastically
"Rabbit Goddess?"
"Doesn't matter. The important thing is I'm free now..." He waved his hand
"What you mean by you free?" I demanded. I got bad feeling somehow
"Boy..." He smirked "What do you know about Tailed Beast?" He asked
"You mean Bijuu?" I asked back and he nodded "9 Being that created from Shinjuu. They are pure chakra and can be said are God actually due to they are created directly from Primordial God energy..."
"Uh-hun. Continue.." Madara gestured and I narrowed my eyes in suspicious but continue nonetheless
"They are birthed by Hagoromo Otsutsuki who split Shinju chakra inside his body and then he give them name. Over the centuries human in your world try to control them as a tools because of their immense power."
"Good. Your history lesson is very good. You quite fan of me aren't you?" He asked and my eyes twitched "Now tell me what they special ability?"
"They are made of pure chakra. They can perform any attack actually seeing chakra is actually not normal power. The reason why in DxD world no one can manipulate chakra like me because chakra is Gods and Goddess energy source. I'm the only human who possess chakra like God but unlike them, I didn't have their endurance..." I answered
"And they immortal..." Madara added
"And they-What?!" I barked in shock
"You forget that one didn't you? Tailed Beast are immortal! Unlike Gods in this world, they are ancient energy that not complete! Their energy is bonded to humans in my world! That's why they keep reforming! They need their energy back and reform into new being then they can dead with normal!" He laughed and my eyes widened in horror hearing this
It can't be! How?! It... It impossible but!... If what he says true then...
Noticing my horrified face Madara smirk get wider
"Yes. I'm a pure Chakra. I'm Chakra from Shinju itself! I'm a Bijuu! The moment you dead I will be freed and then reformed in this world. And guess what? Seeing your body had eat that Loki god arm, absorbing the essence of this world that contain Gods power and absorbing Ophis who are Parent of Gods aura, it enough to reborn me as God in next life! And when I eat another God, I will complete!" He declared with Rinnegan blazing and I almost fall to my knee due to shock
Oh God... What I had done? How... How did I so oblivious to this?! It... It was very obvious and yet! I didn't see it! How?! How can I be so reckless?! How can I forget such thing?!
"But... The seals from greater being should-"
"Yes. It suppose to bring me death with you but you playing with the seal. Frostmourne aura and make contact with me. It weaken the seal further! And with that I can change it even only litte, turned it to the same seal like in my world where I will be reformed after dead.." He laughed "You maybe smart and sharp. But you still a Boy. You are naïve and think too far to the future!"
Damn it! Damn it! Damn! Damn! Damn! FUCK! How could I be this naïve?! Madara right, I'm too focus to the future! I should knew something about this since the beginning! Damn it!
'You actually can remember about Bijuu being immortal but due to nightmare and my influence I manage to lead you to not remember about that. Heh, your mistake Boy is the moment you put your trust on me...' Madara thought with smirk "You done weeping over yourself?"
I broke out from my mind and glare to Madara with my EMS active
"Last question. How my consciousness still here and not to Realm of the Dead?" I asked
"Edo Tensei..." Madara said simply and my eyes widened "You see I maybe reformed in this world but I need your soul, the first soul that I try to consume. When you dead, I will consume your soul and replace it. However someone using Edo Tensei and call you back before the process complete. So here you are..." He chuckled
"I see..." I replied. Then there nothing left to discuss. Whoever casting Edo Tensei, I just wish to say thank you
Still in calm stance. I stare at Madara who look into me with his own calm face
Play - Naruto Shippuden - Akatsuki Theme (Third Person POV)
CLANG!
Kai suddenly appear in front of Madara with holy-demonic sword in his hand but Madara Truth-Seeking Ball shaped into shield and block it
"Slow Boy, too slow..." Madara commented
Kai merely scoffed before he bend his body and summon another swords then deliver multitude slash to Madara
Madara seeing this merely smirked and gladly accept the attack. He use Truth-Seeking Ball and turn it to Hagoromo monk staff then block the attack with ease
Kai seeing this clicked his tongue before he push Madara further with fastened his move. Madara calmly block the attack without any hard make Kai frustated more
"I had use Sharingan longer than you Boy. Of course I can predict your movement with ease." Madara said and Kai gritted his teeth. Madara who in defense suddenly went to offensive and 3 of his Truth-Seeking Ball turned into swords then start to attacking Kai
Kai who seeing this quickly summon holy-demonic swords more. Using telekinesis, he float them and block the attack but his eyes widened when see there crack on his holy-demonic swords. With quick, he jump back and barely dodge the slash of 3 swords but not completely save as his left cheek got grazed by the sword
"These balls are created from Shinju chakra. Sure your Sacred Gear that got blessing from God of Bible can hold it ground against mine but the difference power is like a sea and mountain..." Madara smirked and Kai groaned
'This is bad...' Kai thought as he wipe the blood from his cheek 'If this continue... I need to go all out...' Kai crimson eyes then slowly spread to his sclerae and another ring appear along with 6 extra tomoes
"Rinnegan... I see the hatred you feel when fight against Grendel manage to wake your eyes..." Madara smirked as his purple Rinnegan meet Kai crimson Rinnegan. Kai then cross his fingers and 4 Kage Bunshin appear on his side
"Go!" Kai barked and his 3 clones charged to Madara
The three of them active Raiton no Yoroi (Lightning Release Armor) and with fast, charged to the Uchiha ancestor. Madara seeing this move his Truth-Seeking Balls and separated them into 3 to each Kai clones.
The first clones seeing the ball quickly summon two holy-demonic swords and imbued them with lightning. He give a slash to the two ball but to his surprise it didn't even pierce them. The third ball about to hit him in chest but from KaiC body 4 arms appear and grab the ball, stopping it but it quickly explode and caught him with it
The second and third clone also didn't fair well against the Truth-Seeking Balls, their strength and sword is proved inferior to them and meet same fate with the first clone
Kai who seeing this narrowed his eyes. He stare at the floating balls and during his clones fight he manage to conclude few things
First, those balls are dangerous, it can turn into anything except living being. Second, those ball cannot be attack by chakra, his clone try to use Rasengan on that but it got nulfilled. Third, those ball are dangerous again and fourth, fighting with your vision separated is giving your headache like a bitch, how did Nagato can do this perfectly is beyond his mind!
"Sending clones to observe enemy weapon. Clever Kai, I give you that. But knowing this technique won't help you much..." Madara remarked
"Oh.." Kai narrowed his eyes "We will see about that.." He finished as his clone poofed and then line mark appear below his eyes and above his eyelid, his Rinnegan glowing in crimson light as he entering Senjutsu Mode
"Rinnegan and Senjutsu. Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto also possess same power when facing me, how nostalgic.." Madara grinned "Now you possess both their powers and fighting me again. Let see are you better than them!"
Kai didn't bother to reply as he slowly take stance while summon holy-demonic swords and active his Raiton no Yoroi that turned to black due to Senjutsu. He then dashed to Madara with faster speed than before.
Madara seeing this also blur away in speed and both of them gone. One completely invisible while the other followed by black flash
Explosion and impact of wave created whenever they clashed. The artificial Land of Lightning that beauty quickly reduced into war place, all the scenery gone and turned into ruin
Kai who fighting against Madara clearly having hard time. The Truth-Seeking Balls of Madara is on different level. It was simply overpowered! Whenever Kai attack all of them block him and counter his movement! Kai able to dodge and strike back only thanks to Asura Path ability that allow him to wield 6 swords
Madara meanwhile barely move a muscle. He only dodge when Kai attack reach him or manage to pierce through his defense. Kai are strong, no doubt about it, his Senjutsu able to make him survive against his Truth-Seeking Balls.
'Rinbo : Hengoku! (Limbo : Border Jail!)'
Suddenly Kai got struck by a shadow that suddenly appear from behind Madara. Kai too surprise barely able to block it and he sended away
Madara quickly sent one Truth-Seeking Ball to Kai who vulnerable. When the ball near it quickly engulf Kai and try to caging him
'Shit!' Kai thought before he quickly throw all his swords to different area and got engulfed inside the ball
"Senpou : Ranton Kouga! (Sage Art : Storm Release Light Fang!)" Madara generates a thin stream of lightning from his mouth and shoot it to Kai who caging inside the ball, the lightning cutting the ball into two however when the ball cutted, it reveal Kai wasn't there instead one of holy-demonic sword 'Clever, he throw all his sword so I can't pinpoint which swords he will subsitute with..' Madara thought
"Senpou : Katon Gouen Rasenshuriken! (Sage Art : Fire Release Great Blaze Rasenshuriken!)" Kai from below throw the flaming shuriken orb to Madara who floating in sky
'Rinbo : Hengoku!' Madara send out shadow and it manage to protect him, creating a large dome of flame in middle of air
'What the... Is that shadow?' Kai thought when see some black figure block his attack 'That shadow also strike me before and it kinda hurt. There... There 5 of them... Damn, one is tough enough to block Gouen Rasenshuriken! This will be tougher than I thought...' He wipe blood that dripped from his mouth then summon 5 Kage Bunshin
"Kage Bunshin... Try to attack me using number huh? Clever..." Madara remarked
"Shut up..." Kai replied as he use Deva Path ability to fly along with his 5 clones and charges to Madara
"Senpou : Inton Raiha! (Sage Art : Yin release Lightning Dispatch)" Madara send out ligthning streams from his hand that quickly fork out, shoot towards Kai
"Shinra Tensei!" Kai clones muttered as he block the attack way and reflect them to other direction
"Try this!" Kai said as suddenly 4 arms grow from his body and it turned to the cannon then shoot to Madara
"Fool.." Madara smirked before his eyes widened when the shoot is targeted to his shadows instead him. He then move his Truth-Seeking Balls to protect them
"Sorry, no playing balls..." One of Kai clones said as he shoot giant Norse Magic beam that bended to multiple attack and hit each ball, preventing them from moving
"Gotcha!" Other Kai clones bind all the shadow into one using Norse Magic
Kai who free without obstacle dashed to Madara and both of them clashed, creating an impact to around them.
"Ryuusousen! (Dragon Nest Flash!)" Kai deliver numerous strike and Madara block it but find Kai speed actually surprising fast and few manage to cut his body and shoulder
"Not bad..." Madara said before push Kai away using his staff and then the staff he hold turned into spear. Using it Madara deliver strike to Kai but Kai Rinnegan read his movement and able to block it
Seeing this Madara about to call his Truth-Seeking Ball that got blasted away again in order to attack Kai but he found the ball didn't come much to his surprise
'What the...' Madara then glance and look there Kai clones who in Deva Path using Banshou Ten'in (Universall Pull) and prevent the ball to go back to Madara 'Very good... His mastery over Rinnegan is clearly come from my memory. Not surprising, that Nagato boy doing pretty well using Deva Path...' Madara thought with smirk inwardly seeing Kai strategy, he really enjoying good battle
Kai deliver slash and Madara who block it using his spear. Kai spin Madara spear and deliver kick to his face but Madara tilted his head, however Kai quivkly bend his leg and give heel kick to Madara face and this time it got him
Seeing this Kai quickly took the opportunity and deliver elbow hit to Madara stomach followed by knee. He then move to cut Madara head off but the Uchiha ancestor manage to block it and push Kai away before shoot lightning to Kai through his hand
Kai seeing this quickly make defensive magic and redirect the attack. However, Madara suddenly appear in front of him and deliver strong axe slash, Kai quickly bend his body and sidestepped in air, dodging the attack but the wave manage to destroy the edge of his swords
Kai quickly summon 2 new swords and he began to attack Madara again. Madara change his weapon into sword and block Kai attack.
The two clashed blades with one another, where they either blocked or dodged each other's these few minutes. Madara found it hard to find any openings to attack Kai, as he had proven he was deadly with sword and even Madara inwardly admit Kai skill in sword surpassing him. And with only one Truth-Seeking Balls, he can't do much. Everytime Kai weapon destroyed he will change and replace it quickly
'But...' Madara grinned before he suddenly start to push Kai back. He then let his eyes copy Kai movement and quickly able to balance himself with Kai
Kai seeing this narrowed his eyes. Madara copying his movement, he then process to increase his speed and start to let his instinct and reflex taking over so he can give Madara surprise attack
Suddenly Madara sword turned into ball and it quickly explode, engulfing Madara and Kai. Kai who surprised didn't have chance to defend as he got blasted away by the explosion and send to the ground
"""Boss!""" All Kai clones shouted in worry
Suddenly from the smoke a lightning appear and shoot the Deva KaiC that hold the Truth-Seeking Balls, dispelling it
'Shit!' Thought all clone as suddenly the Truth-Seeking Balls flying to them and shoot numerous chakra receivers. All KaiC are too late to move as the chakra receivers rained them down and hit them
POOF! POOF! POOF! POOF!
"You are hundred years too early to challenge me..." Madara spoke coldly as he appear from the smoke, unharmed and stare to Kai who crashing to the ground
Change music to Naruto Shippuden - Uchiha Madara Theme
Kai coughed some blood. He grit his teeth and slowly force himself to stand despite the pain that scream to his whole body, with grunt he push himself while spit out some blood
'If I didn't turn to Asura Path. I will be dead! What the hell is he thinking?! Exploding the ball when at his own range?!' Kai thought with shock and shocked more when see Madara appear unharmed
"Kage Bunshin, Rasengan, Senjutsu combined with Sharingan, Chidori, Kenjutsu master. You are really the combination of Uzumaki Naruto and Sasuke Uchiha, but your mind are greater than them. You can tell how dangerous these ball just by observing and how to handle them from first look. I must say it was impressive..." Madara praised with hint of respect "Not to mention your mastery over Deva and Asura path is impressive..." He chuckled
"How did you appear unharmed? I sure that explosion before is also caught you..." Kai panted as he try his best to look firm and ignoring Madara praise
"I'm no longer human Boy. My regenerative powers are beyond anyone mind. Even if I get cut in two, I still able to survive.." Madara smirked before he turn to serious "This had gone long enough. Its time to end this battle... Allow me to show you the difference between us.." Madara said as he clap his hand together and suddenly black sphere formed on it much to Kai horror when he recognize the technique
'Shit!' Kai thought
"Chibaku Tensei!" Madara muttered before he send the black sphere but much to Kai horror again it not just one sphere but multiple!
The whole ground shaking and slowly all of them got pulled to the sky
Kai seeing this quickly jump away and try to run from the psuedo black hole. He can't afford to get caught! If he got, then it will be finish!
He use Deva Path and push himself when he feel gravity pull him and keep running after he manage to flee from the range of Chibaku Tensei
Madara seeing Kai merely smirked before he move his hand and drop one satellite on Kai direction
'Oh you gotta be shitting me!' Kai cursed in his mind when see Madara start to drop the satellite to his directon thought. Acting quickly he enchant chakra to his leg and start to run again
"Let see how many you can dodge..." Madara chuckled as he drop another one to Kai who running
BOOOM!
The whole ground shook when the giant ball fall to the earth. It creating very large earthquake and destroy everything surround it
Kai barely able to dodge the first satellite that fall to the ground. He then look to the sky and see Madara send another satellite again! Cursing loudly, he start to move again, there 6 or maybe 8 of that ball! He can't dodge this one!
'Destroy it then but how? Sure my Norse Magic can destroy it but I need time to charge the attack. And that damn thing didn't let me too charge!' Kai groaned mentally 'Well, if I can't destroy it then deflect it!' He crossed his fingers and create 2 clones
The 2 clones immediately cast magic and creating large barrier that at least will able to redirect the attack while the original run
'Not bad. But you just delaying...' Madara thought as he see the Kai clones make a wall that able to redirect the satellite even just slightly but it give Kai chance to escape. He chuckle as he drop another planetoid to Kai direction
'This is no use! He just going to drop another ball! His chakra reserve also insane! He can finish it whenever he want but he try to see how I struggle!' Kai groaned as he keep running. How he going to dodge all of them?! Suddenly idea popped in his mind and he active his Raiton no Yoroi plus Deva path
He quickly fly to the sky and clap his hands together while soar to Madara area
'Hm? What this? You plan to caught me with you? Naïve!' Madara send the rest of satellites to Kai direction who fly to him
'Not yet...' Kai thought as he charged to the numerous satellites that dropped on him. When he very close suddenly he release his hand
Change music to Fairy Tail - Sannin no Dragon Slayer
"Chibaku Tensei!" Kai roared as he send black sphere to the satellites direction
Madara who seeing this had wide eyes. It was very genius! Using Chibaku Tensei nature to pull the satellites to each other! Kai will be save from his own technique due to some satellites that smashing to each other
The giant group of planetoid that crashed to each other turned into rubble and rained down to the earth
'Very smart... You really worthy opponent Hyoudou- no. Uchiha Kai!' Madara thought with glee and smirk. Suddenly he feel Kai aura surround him and he see there 9 KaiC who in different area, each of them had dozen of magic circle ready to blast
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Madara seeing this quickly separate his 9 Truth-Seeking Balls to 9 area and each of them formed into giant shield. The balls manage to defend Madara from the magic attack. Suddenly he see there Kai who had Gouen Rasenshuriken on his hand while floating
With roar, Kai throw the flaming orb shuriken to Madara who only scoffed 'Fool!' Madara thought as he change his staff into ball and it quickly soar to engulf the flaming orb
However to Madara shock when Truth-Seeking Ball about to engulf the orb, it morphed into Kai who hold a little version of Rasenringu (Spiralling Ring) in his right hand but Madara can feel the dense amount of chakra in that attack
'What?!' Madara thought with shock
"Regenerate from this, Madara! Senpou : Dai Rasenringu! (Sage Art : Great Spiralling Ring!)" Kai roared and throw the miniature planetary sphere of destrcution to Madara
'How?! I didn't even sense him unless... His shapeshift ability! Damn it!' Madara cursed before smirked 'Heh but I still have this! Rinbo : Hengoku!' Madara thought as he call his shadows to protect him
"Banshou Ten'in!"
Suddenly the 5 shadows got pulled and a golden rope appear and bind them into one. Madara turn and see Kai active Deva Path and bind his shadow after Kawarimi himself with the clone that throw him at first place
'Deva Path! Damn it! Damn you Bo-' Whatever Madara thought got cut as the planetary sphere engulf his whole body
BOOOOOOM!
Slowly but sure, a large white explosion appear, even Kai also got caught but he quickly perform Susanoo and cover himself from the impact. All the Truth-Seeking Balls that block the attack before also gone.
All clone who seeing this summon all remain of their energy and shoot a large blast of Norse Magic to Madara and it hit the dome of white sphere that engulf the Uchiha ancestor, making it slowly get larger
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
The explosion in sky is very clear. It size was big, yes I mean very big. Dai Rasenringu that strengthen by Senjutsu can wipe out whole New York with everything inside it
The explosion in sky will destroy the whole island if it appear in ground, it was lucky it appear ink$ sky if not the whole island will be gone due to combined attack of Dai Rasenringu and Norse Magic
Meanwhile Kai who got blasted away, appear unharmed thanks to Susanoo. He crashing to the groung roughly and bounced few times. Blood come out from his mouth when he fall, Susanoo maybe protect him but the damage still there
He groaned as he held his chest and slowly stand while leaned to tree, blood dripped from his mouth and foreheads, he can feel he got many broken bone and maybe his lung now got punctured but that doesn't matter
'Its done... I win...' Kai thought with smile and panted as he fall to one knee due to tiredness, his Rinnegan back to his black eyes. Summoning Susanoo, Chibaku Tensei, various Rasengan especcially Dai Rasenringu, and shapeshifting. All of those attack and ability almost drain all of his chakra. But despite of that he smiled in satisfaction, defeating Madara in Juubi Jinchuuriki form is hard. Very hard, it even harder than when he fight Grendel
Unlike Grendel who he fight like brawl. He only got lucky in defeating Madara due to surprise attack. In here he can't active Byakugou no Jutsu (Strength of Hundred Technique). Really, he lucky to got caught Madara in surprise
Music off
"Well. That was close..."
Kai eyes widened in horror when hearing familiar voice. The then turn and see Madara appear unharmed though his horn now broken and there blood dripped from his mouth
"W-Wha! How did you survive that?!" Kai asked in shock. Dai Rasenringu actually very strong attack. Even God will got killed or cripple if it hit at the right place or point blank like before! Not to mention he also add Norse Magic in attack before!
"Of course because my regenerative ability, don't you hear that I said I'm immortal before? Though that was close. That Dai Rasenringu technique is very strong. It power rivaled Maito Gai last attack when he hit me. I must say this is one of the best battle I ever had other than with Hashirama, Maito Gai, Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto..." Madara chuckled as he wipe blood from his mouth
Kai groaned as he slowly stand and create holy swords in his right hand and Shield of Blaster on his left hand ready to attack again despite the fatigue that hit him
"Still able to show this much determination. You really strong Uchiha Kai, you even stronger than me when I was atpmy prime. Not to mention you also younger than me!" Madara remarked with respect
"Thanks for the praise but my name Hyoudou Kai!" Kai roared as he charged to Madara with his eyes turn to Sharingan
Madara only silence seeing Kai charge to him. When Kai near suddenly Kai stopped and his body freeze
'W-What?' Kai thought with shock as he find he can't move
"Rinbo : Hengoku... Without Rinnegan it was impossible to see my shadow..." Madara smirked as he approach Kai and grab his throat
'Damn it! Move! Move!' Kai roared in his mind as he try his best to move but no matter how hard he try, he can't move his body
"It was good dance Hyoudou Kai..." Madara smirked "Don't worry, you won't die. You will become part of me. I will take your appearance in order to honor you.. I also going to treat your friends and family with good. They will able to meet you again in Tsuki no Me and this time there no Kaguya to stop me..." Madara finished as purple flaming chakra appear from his hand and start to spread to Kai body
Kai can feel his consciousness start to fade. His chakra start to gone and got absorbed by Madara
'Damn! MOOVE!' Kai roared as he bite his own tongue to make sure he not trapped in genjutsu but he still can't move
"Good bye... Hyoudou Kai..." Madara said as his chakra slowly covered Kai whole body
'Damn! This can't be happen! I can't! Not in here! I can't die yet! I... I... I can't... Nii-san and everyone...' Kai struggle more as he can feel his chakra almost completely gone and his body fusing with Madara 'NO! Like... Like I'd die in here... I... Won't... Lose... In here... I promise to protect them... I won't let... Some maniac... Kill them! I... Refuse to die!' He thought as he fought back with all his might
The last thing he see was Madara smirk before everything gone to black
Wohooo! A battle of Madara against Kai! Bet no one thought of that in this chapter right?! Hahaha
Weeew, we have Ophis who communicating with Kai that trapped inside Boosted Gear! Ddraig also began to suspect something about Kai! Will he find out the truth?!
And a surprising fact! Madara is alive! And his plan is very simple! Hahaha, I bet no one see that right?! I already give hint about this in chapter 28. Conflict of Gremory and Sitri
As you can see, Kai are bit naïve. He are too focus to the complicated stuff and oblivious to simple one, well he are human so not perfect is his nature
Oh man! Kai is dead! Madara beat him! What going to happen?! Then just who the one with Elves group now? Madara? Or Kai?
And yes, Madara is strong he just toying with Kai but he overestimated himself and almost dying but he can kill Kai if he want. But he are battle maniac in reality that's why he want to see Kai struggle and fight
Hahahaha, so much mystery. Find out about it next chapter!
