Chapter 1030 - [The Fated Holy War] 18/?: A Deal (1/2)
-----
Ova was devoured and died miserably. Her last seconds of life were battling and struggling to live, roaring monstrously, fighting, battling, and screaming. Her body was devoured and digested, dissolving into powerful essence and nutrients inside of Kireina's monstrous dimensional stomach, while her soul was dissolved and merged into Kireina's soul, her consciousness, memories, and more were assimilated into Kireina's mind, and she had died.
However, Kireina only willed it and she came back to life.
Kireina, each time she ate a God, didn't assimilate their consciousness now but copy-pasted them into her own, leaving the original ones sleeping within her soul abyssal depths.
She had already revived some gods by reconstructing their consciousness through her own, but this method was way easier.
Of course, everything else within them died except their consciousness, the only thing left from their very selves.
One could say that when your consciousness dies, you die forever. Even if your soul reincarnates, you stop being you and become something else, therefore, your original self dies, and what you become is not really you, but someone else entirely.
Therefore, as long as her consciousness was kept without being destroyed into pieces, she would be able to revive.
She couldn't believe it, but after the abyssal darkness greeted her consciousness and she fell into eternal slumber, she quickly came back. In fact, it hasn't even been ten minutes since she died and she was already opening her eyes once more.
She couldn't believe what was happening, she suddenly felt like she was drowning inside something filled with sticky and sweet nectar. She swallowed it unintentionally but found that by doing so, she grew in strength. So she ended drinking everything without even thinking as if it were addictive…
She had never felt this alive before.
After that, Ova's arms moved upwards, tearing apart where she was, finding herself atop an immense tree of astronomical proportions, the ground below her was very far, she was even above the clouds themselves, but even within the clouds, different colored clouds emerged in layers, as countless beasts roamed everywhere, there were immense floating islands the size of continents everywhere… for a moment, she thought she might have somehow reincarnated in another world, starting anew.
Of course, she quickly dissipated such assumptions as she remembered something.
She had just died some minutes ago, and this place had the essence of divine energy, this was a divine realm.
”Where am I…? Didn't Kireina killed me?” she wondered. She checked her body as she felt the overflowing power of Life and Nature within her, but not as much as before. This was definitely a new body, but it was still Great Goddess, although it was only Rank 1, and the number of attribute particles it had didn't surpass 10k. However, because Law Comprehension and Dao Comprehension were based on experience, knowledge, and enlightenment, she retained such powers, although the Dao Fragments were not there anymore, she could reconstruct the fragments after some time.
But without the attribute particles to back her up, she was as weak as a newborn caterpillar…
”Ova, wake up!”
She suddenly remembered hearing that voice when she opened her eyes, as she heard it once more.
She looked into the ground and then, a figure emerged behind her, and teleported her away, completely nude, right in front of Kireina.
”Ah! Eh? What…? Kireina? You… What? What is this?” asked Ova. She was completely clueless. Not even a Great Goddess such as her thought that it was possible to revive even after having her entire soul eaten. But here she was, back in the flesh!
”Hello Ova, our first encounter was not on the best terms. I've inherited all of your powers and legacy, and I intend to recruit you into my Pantheon. Oh right, I revived you,” said Kireina.
”H-How can you revive people after eating their souls?! T-Then your subordinates… were right when they were saying that they could revive all those they killed…” said Ova.
”Indeed, you're the key for me to learn and quickly use your Totems, and your Dao Fragments correctly. Ah, this is the Maxima Summon I summoned using your Dao of Summoning Fragment. It is very strong, I named it Bubu,” said Kireina, as a little Caterpillar crawled out of her bouncy and large breasts, Ova didn't understand what she was even talking about until she remembered that Kireina had the power to devour anything, this seems to even include Dao Fragments, Attribute Particles, and even Law Comprehension!
To boot, she upgraded the Fragment of the Dao of Summoning that cost her so much to get and even summoned a Maxima Summon, something she never managed to do because she lacked enough Dao Comprehension!
At first, Ova glanced at Bubu with curiosity and disbelief. How could a caterpillar be a Maxima Summon? From the inheritance where she got the fragment, Maxima Summon was said to be incredibly powerful and intimidating beings that originated from a completely different Universe, their power and appearances were incredibly, and they were the greatest and most powerful beings of their universe!
But this… caterpillar was one?!
However, that disbelief only lasted a few seconds as she suddenly realized that this entity was merely concealing its presence, the moment Kireina told Bubu to unleash its true presence, Ova fell over her knees and began to tremble in horror.
”T-Three….! Three… Fully Comprehended Daos?! And such… a gigantic amount of Attribute Particles! W-What… what is that?! A Supreme God?!”
”I already told you it's my Maxima Summon. Its name is Bubu… Now, let's continue with our previous conversation. Why did I revive you? Well, to aid me,” said Kireina.
”Aid you? But we just were killing each other a few minutes ago!” said Ova.
