Chaos and Order - A Multiverse Fanfic

Married…

Kai contemplated the idea, lying on the bed.

Shinobu's soft breaths hit his chest, the air smelling of flowers and pleasure.

He could deal with the emotion in the blink of an eye, Kai knew.

Let the Ad Infinitum bury it within a yellow crystal before throwing it into the black hole representing his core memories, and then use the Facelessness to forget the feelings altogether.

The Lucky Intuitions, though, were against it.

No matter when Kai thought of ignoring the truth, a Lucky Intuition generated within the depths of his heart, warning him against doing so.

Kai sighed.

Shinobu woke up.

It was morning outside, a little ray of sunlight finding its way into the room.

She brought herself closer to Kai, as if there was space left between them to close up.

"What is it?" she asked.

Kai looked at the notification for the hundredth time and knew not where to begin.

…

…

Kai sighed.

At first, he'd thought that making them his Clan members would automatically turn them into his followers.

However, the Dimensional Leader Title still had only 2 followers — Shinobu and Arya Stark.

Also, the Wind and the Water Hashiras had refused to gain the demon powers.

Kai had decided not to pursue the matter for now. He knew it was just a matter of time for them to realize how pointless it was not to go for power in the grand scheme of things.

Shinobu had fallen to the Lower Rank One, but she didn't mind it.

First, the Moons hierarchy wasn't fixed. Second, the ranking didn't dictate the power of Blood Demon Arts, as it only took into account the thin gap between them before demonification.

So, the changes in the hierarchy were inevitable.

Then there was the matter of Primordial Tower's residency for the Clan members, without which he couldn't complete his true goals.

Marrying Shinobu wasn't some kind of condition that he needed to fulfill for this.

Kai had done it to win over the Hashiras, and knowing Shinobu, it was hard to say if she would agree to have a child outside of marriage.

Yet, the System took this into account somehow.

Even after having access to AI and Lucky Intuitions, Kai still couldn't completely figure out the workings of the Systems, Verse Fusion Random World, and the Multiverse Interdependencies.

There was something in it, Kai knew. A missing variable…

Still, this Multiverse Interdependency between Yautja Race's privilege and his authority as Demon King had made it all possible.

If Kai had been in any other world, then this fusion of concepts would have failed.

No wonder a Verse Fusion Random World is a must to ascend to the Ranks of Kings… Kai remembered the way the 18th-floor monsters had drooled over him to know this world's Multiverse ID.

"Kai…" Shinobu mumbled.

Kai tore his gaze off the notification and looked at her.

He kissed her forehead and then began telling her a tale full of truths with a few lies sprinkled over it.

If the Tales of Beedle the Bard could devour this tale, then it certainly would have etched its title in a bloody script and bloodier color, naming it —

— The Tale of the Blood Demon!!!

…

Booommmmmmmmm!!!

Kai met Rengoku midair, Sounga and Hi-no-Kagutsuchi letting out flaming tornadoes.

The Upper Rank Two flew around Kai like a dragon, a flame dragon materializing beneath his feet.

Kai took out Murasame.

Boundless Spiritual Pressure made the space ripple around him.

With hissing breath, blood flames seeped out, becoming a skin-tight red armor.

"You can't defeat me with only this!" Rengoku shouted. "Put your heart into it. Let me see…"

Kai didn't let the Flame Hashira finish his words.

"Limitless…"

His lips moved, and overwhelming Mana shone around him like a black-blue halo.

Then, in the very next moment, they appeared in a blood world, the sky gray with a hole in it.

"… Blood Firmament!"

…

Watching them from the grounds, the Hashiras gaped.

"I can't sense them…" the Mist Hashira said, his pupils shaking.

The Sound Hashira clenched his jaws. "He didn't use this when we fought!" he complained.

The Stone Hashira looked at the Insect Hashira standing next to him and asked, "Did he tell you how this works?"

Kai had already told them a lot, but Shinobu knew a touch more.

The resurrection of a messiah… or demon, as he called himself. The Contestants. The Tower. The Missions. The Items, Skills, Abilities, Titles, and this… Reality Marble, a power beyond dimensions and worlds.

In one of these Missions, Kai had arrived in her world to find a cure for his demonic transformation.

He hadn't lied, but he hadn't been truthful as well.

Shinobu had always carried doubts in her heart since then.

Only now did she know why Kai hadn't been truthful to her about his origins.

Because if he had told her everything that she knew now, then he would have his existence erased by these… Systems.

Now, she would face the same fate if she were to open her mouth in front of anyone who wasn't a Clan member.

Ara-Ara! Shinobu rubbed her head. What did I marry into?

The Love Hashira closed on her. "Are you OK?" she whispered in her ear. "Last night…"

A vein pulsed on Shinobu's head. "Don't mention him!"

The Love Hashira's lips twitched. Not married for three days and already having a lovers' spat?!

Suddenly, two figures landed in front of the Hashiras as if the world had spat them out.

Kai had returned to his normal clothing, diffusing the red armor.

Opposite him, Rengoku had returned to his original appearance, too.

However, unlike Kai, the Flame Hashira's eyes had gone so wide as if he had seen the greatest horror in the universe in a matter of moments.

Under the puzzled and shocked gazes of everyone, Rengoku's knees shook, and he used the sword to keep himself up.

The Wind and the Water Hashira were about to rush forward when the Stone Hashira put his palms together, keeping them at their places.

Rengoku couldn't sense these things.

Hell, he couldn't sense anything.

In the Flame Hashira's mind, the titanic monsters kept appearing.

And then there was the distinct feeling of his everything getting sealed. That threat…

Mechanically, Rengoku lifted his head and looked at Kai, and found a smile on his lips.

"Was that… Skill?" the Flame Hashira mumbled so that no one could hear him.

Kai shook his head.

"Reality Marble," he told Rengoku. "But a different kind. It combines the laws of your world having Spirituality with another world having Mana."

The Flame Hashira repeated the last word many times, straightening his spine.

"Reality Marble…" he licked the blood from the corner of his mouth. "… How to get it?"

Kai's mouth almost twitched.

"You must have Mana for it. Perhaps, after becoming the Tower's resident, you will have such an option."

Rengoku had gone perfectly still and silent.

Suddenly, he almost flew toward Shinobu and stood tall in front of her.

"Eh?!" the Insect Hashira, caught off-guard, looked from Rengoku to Kai to back at Rengoku. "Wha… What?"

The Flame Hashira's face had gained such a seriousness that even the other Hashiras sensed something amiss.

And then he asked, making Shinobu's welled-up wrath fall on him.

"Get pregnant soon!" the Flame Hashira shouted, smiling. "I need to get stronger!"
