Chaos and Order - A Multiverse Fanfic

Chapter 710: Kai's Followers — One Hashira-level figure after another!!! (II)



There was a grave silence that hopped between the Hashiras.

Their leader, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, also shared this silence, though unperceived by anyone.

Kai did catch onto the tumultuous emotions within the Demon Slayer Corps' leader, but only briefly.

In this, both Kai and Kagaya shared one thing that let them rein their feelings — Calm!

Sitting next to Kai, Shinobu Kocho, the Insect Hashira, looked at her fellow Hashiras and felt troubled.

Kai had arrived two days ago. The time spent with him in the last two days still lingered like a phantom pain between her thighs.

A blush resurfaced on her cheeks, recalling the mornings and the nights.

It was yesterday evening that he had even breathed about all this to her, making her incredibly mad.

I have brought a few friends with me, Kai had told her. Can you arrange a meeting with Kagaya?

Shinobu could perceive even then that her man had somehow become even stronger than his past self. Thus, she didn't mind him calling Oyakata-sama by name.

However, hearing about these friends for the first time did puzzle her.

One more question troubled her the most, which she didn't hold back asking about.

Why didn't you come sooner? Shinobu had asked, feeling indignant. You said you can come anytime…

It was then Kai had told her something that surprised her the most.

Those words were — I needed to visit a few other worlds…

The Hashiras looked at Black, Meg, Spawn, and Moraine, sensing the hints of hidden power bubbling inside them.

It was especially so for Moraine, whom they had already seen fighting before.

However, this was the first time even for them to sense the seven-colored hue behind her, like a divine-demonic halo.

Who could have guessed that just a halo would push her might to the Hashira-level?!

Just as they all were trying to unravel the mysterious halo, steps rang in their minds, stomping over their thoughts.

Shadows howled…

The Wind Hashira looked down and saw all shadows were rippling as if they were scared.

Crackkkkkkkkkkkk!

The Stone Hashira sensed the Will like black bolts of lightning snaking around him.

"Amitabha!"

Slap!!!

He slapped his hands together, dispersing the Haki, but it still lingered in the room, like ants crawling on the back of their neck.

The Shadow Queen stepped into the hall.

Shinobu's fingers balled into fists.

They looked at each other.

Bitch!

Demon!!

Kai's lips twitched as he read the cursed thoughts of both women.

Cersei was dressed in her shadow armor — a skin-tight, black suit, covering her from neck to toe. Her golden hair was hanging loose behind her.

Her green eyes were glowing black and red, the sheer Will to Conquer these Hashiras and this world, along with Kai, causing the very space to ripple around her.

She looked away from Shinobu and looked at Kagaya.

The current leader of the Ubuyashiki family was sitting silently, seemingly unnerved by the unfathomable display of willpower lingering around him.

Cersei's eyes narrowed at that.

She then looked at the Hashiras and sneered.

"I will not sit opposite any one of them," Cersei declared, finding them all unworthy.

Veins throbbed on the foreheads of Wind and Serpent Hashira. Even the Love Hashira frowned, her lips twisting in displeasure.

Kai sighed.

He gestured towards a spot for her.

It was the place against the Mist Hashira.

Cersei's brows shot up, shocked at Kai's suggestion. If he is saying to sit there, then…

Finding the Mist Hashira suddenly very interesting, she walked to the spot and sat down, her eyes never leaving the listless boy.

Boommmm!

The explosive sound had come out of nowhere.

Before any of the Hashiras could rush out to see what was going on, they saw him.

Donning bronze-colored armor, a man was walking toward the hall from the very front. In his hands, there were two swords, a bloody redness seeping out of them like vapors.

Even the air around him was folding onto itself like the space just above fire.

And as he stood outside the hall, the heat blasted its way inside the room.

Sweat drenched all backs, vicious emotions overwhelming their senses.

Petyr Baelish didn't even come inside. Giving a last look to the Hashiras, he nodded at Kai and turned around.

The Bronze Titan stood on one side of the hall's door like a sentry.

This was, of course, Petyr's idea.

Let them know that not only your followers, but even your servants, are powerful, he had suggested. Let them make a few, wild guesses. Of course, this show of strength must follow reasoning, in the same way, Power must always be backed by Knowledge.

If one didn't count Shinobu and Kai, then the new arrivals perfectly matched the number of Hashiras, with Rengoku absent from the meeting.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki also noticed this point.

Is that why the armored man didn't enter? Or did he not enter because he considered himself a servant? What's his relationship with Arlen? But Strength alone…

Not only Kagaya, but the Hashiras' thoughts were also running toward the same point when they heard the cackles.

It was like children bickering among themselves.

There was such a madness in these bickers that it itched the brains.

All were masters in the hall, powerful beyond measure. The bickering couldn't remain incomprehensible for long, their ears picking a few words as clear as possible.

And what they heard sent a chill running down their spines.

"Amitabha! Such minds should not exist!"

The Stone Hashira unsheathed his sword.

The Water Hashira had already stood up, his pupils becoming darker.

The Wind and Serpent Hashiras were breathing harder than ever, their eyes fuming.

The Love and Mist Hashiras' faces had gone red, anger surfacing on their innocent faces like never before.

"But children's souls aren't compatible…" one was saying.

"Are you sure? I have experimented with few…" another commented.

"I have worked with children," the third voice added with confidence. "They are compatible."

"What about corrupted souls?"

"No. No. They can be sewn together like clothes…"

"We must confirm the nature of corruption and its effect on the soul's element before…"

Kai had said true.

He had gone to a few other Random Worlds before coming here. Three, in fact.

First, he had gone to the Game of Thrones Random World to kill Andrik and try out the compatibility between the Philosopher's Stone and Eon Soul Dew. He also gained a new follower in the face of Arya Stark.

Second, he had visited the Predators Random World, initiating the ritual to become an Elite Yautja.

There were several missions he needed to complete to walk his way through the Young Blood, Blooded, and then to the Elite level as per the Yautja Culture.

With his strength, it took him only a few days. Most of the missions were related to Xenomorphs, making it even easier for him.

Third, Kai had jumped dimensions to devour another tale.

The Mad Scientist, Rintaro Okabe was finding the discussion over Xenomorphs' children very exciting.

Laughing, he threw his arm around his best friend.

Orochimaru frowned as the lesser being put an arm around his neck.

But there were some merits about him, too, the Legendary Sannin admitted.

The current topic of experimenting with beasts' souls, especially at an early stage of their evolution, fascinated him the most.

However, what Orochimaru truly thanked Kai for was the addition of this new scientist.

What he didn't like was the way this man painted his face like a woman putting on makeup.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi, the Captain of the 12th Division in the Gotei 13, and the current President of Shinigami Research Institute from Bleach Random World.

He eyed the two fellow magical forms and hoped Kai would let him experiment on them soon enough.

For now, though, he was truly enjoying this discussion over researching children's souls.

And, he, of course, found the human children the most fascinating.
