Chapter 1028 - [The Fated Holy War] 16/?: Summoning A New Ally! (1/2)
-----
Kireina began to consider what to do as she glanced at the Dao of Summoning Fragment information once more.
…
[Small Fragment of the Summoning Dao]
An incredibly small fragment of the crystallization of the Dao of Summoning, containing its primordial and transcendental essence and an incredibly small part of its capabilities.
The Dao of Summoning is part of the Great Dao subcategory, formed by the combination of Illusion and Life as its primary Laws, alongside Soul and Phantom as its secondary Laws, it grants the user the capability of summoning certain entities imprinted into the user's soul through a variety of means, while also giving it the capacity of transforming living beings into Summons. At higher levels of comprehension, it allows for the summoning of powerful entities from other Universes.
Primary Effect: Grants the ability for imprinted entities into the user's soul to be summoned and customized in a variety of ways, while also giving the power to convert living beings into summons. Can be used in conjunction with other powers for greater and more complete effects. However, because this is a fragment and not the complete Dao, Summons suffer a 40% drop in their total power.
Secondary Effect: Grants the ability to summon one Random [Maxima Summon] between [Mythic] to [Heavenly] Grade. Maxima Summons will come with comprehended Laws, Attribute Particles, and even the possibility for fully comprehended Daos, which they can share their power with their summoner.
…
It said that the summoned Maxima could have Grades, from Mythic to Heavenly. What could this mean? Something similar to Rarity, perhaps?
”Do you know the Rarities of the Maxima Summons, Andromeda?” asked Kireina.
[Yes, Master. I've registered their rarity. It might appear as if Maxima Summons have several tiers of rarity, which determines their power level. Although at your current comprehension, it seems that you can only summon up to Heavenly, there are higher Grades… The Grades are Mythical, High Mythical, Grand Mythical, Legendary, High Legendary, Grand Legendary, Phantasmal, High Phantasmal, Grand Phantasmal, Heavenly, High Heavenly, and lastly, Grand Heavenly. It doesn't specify but it seems you can get up to High Heavenly because Grades have these in-between rarities to them.]
Kireina furrowed her eyebrows as she nodded.
”I see, so it's like a filthy gacha then… Okay. Let's summon one for the sake of it. Do we need anything for it?” asked Kireina.
[The Maxima Summon is random, so you can't select it, and the requirements are 500.000.000 Divine Energy, which seems to be possible for you, master!]
”Alright, then let's do it!”
Kireina and Andromeda worked together, as a gigantic magic circle suddenly emerged before Kireina's sight!
FLAAAAAASH!
From within this gigantic magic circle, thousands of runes of various shapes and sizes began to emerge one by one, changing shape to all kinds of shapes and sizes, surprising Kireina and Andromeda.
Within the large circle, there seemed to be several ”figures”, whatever these figures were, they resembled monsters or animals. Kireina was able to discern one that resembled something like a scorpion, another that looked like a winged lion, and something was reminiscing of a horse with horn, a unicorn. However, there were also completely alien shapes that looked like chimeras, such as a creature with three legs and two heads, or a flower-headed humanoid kind of thing…
As Kireina and Andromeda saw the magic circle build up from scratch, within the Maxima Universe, far away from the Current Universe where Kireina resided, a single entity heard her call, as many others suddenly noticed it as well.
Enormously powerful entities who had never noticed the existence of other Universes glared at well, as those powerful hegemonies that knew about other universes were left surprised.
Who could have come calling for a summon from a completely different universe? The Dao of Summoning was a secret weapon of the Maxima Universe! Who was using it and how did they do it?!
There were a few that could, but they were known and registered by these entities. However, this new summoner… it was someone completely alien.
And the Origin Root that led to her… it was utterly terrifying! It was as if she was the embodiment of an Attribute that the Maxima Universe powerhouses abhorred…
Chaos!
What could an aberration of Chaos want with their Universe?
The Will of the Maxima Universe woke up, sensing the Origin Root of this entity of Chaos, feeling great dread within. Whatever this entity was, they couldn't let it have its way!
However, it was too late.
Despite the many entities that feared it, a small yet powerful creature from this wondrously big Universe heard her call and was even attracted to her abhorred Origin Root…
Without the Will of the Maxima Universe being able to do anything over it, an entity from this Universe accepted to be the summon of Kireina!
Kireina eyes opened wide open as she saw the entity that emerged before her, it was such an entity that her eyes opened wide open, her flashing crimson-red eyes couldn't believe what they were seeing! Her face was in utter surprise and a bit of disbelief, even!
Just what were the odds for such a monstrously powerful creature to emerge out of nowhere? Was Kireina this strong to even call this entity here?!
Even Andromeda felt the tremendous power of this creature and even the entire divine realm! The Divine Beasts all across it, the gods, everyone felt the presence of this alien entity entering this Universe!
Not only the divine realm but the entire Universe where Kireina resided also felt it!
The Tree of the Universe, the personification of this Universe, felt a sudden dread within her very being as she felt this alien entity enter her own body, like a parasite latching into her own being… it was utterly terrifying!
How could it be!? What kind of entity could even make the Tree of the Universe wary of it and concerned?!
Even Chaos, The One, and Azathoth felt it, Nyarlathotep, the vessel of Azathoth, began to laugh manically within the Outer Void as he celebrated the birth of a new monstrosity in this Universe, and it was brought by no one else than the Child of Chaos herself, Kireina!
Just what entity could cause this much commotion?
What could it be?!
Kireina glanced at it as she slowly calmed herself… her face of utter disbelief was still present, however.
This entity was…
It was…!
”A caterpillar?!”
