Chaos and Order - A Multiverse Fanfic

Indeed, only such an illogical and almost impossible conjoining of primordial laws could have given birth to such power.

But what was the extent of this power?

No matter how shocked, Kai couldn't help but thought of this question.

As Kai looked at the swaying yellow hair of the Sword Spirit, and heard the ever-growing demonic cackle, Meg's words rang in his mind inadvertently.

Each Shinigami carries a Zanpakuto, and each Zanpakuto is unique, the fallen Priestess of Hastur had told him. The Zanpakuto, or the Sword Spirit, are reflections of its wielder's power and soul, and sentient beings unto themselves.

These beings can vary in appearance and have distinct personalities, which are similar to their owners.

Similar to their owner's…

Similar to their owner's…

The rows of words repeated themselves in Kai's mind.

It was then the Sword Spirit turned around, its demonic laugh vanishing. Still, when it hissed, there was a murderous vileness about it that refused to go away.

It was like a bloody taste that lingered in the mouth, after devouring a creature alive.

-You asked for my identity, my name,- the faceless being hissed. -Are you worthy?! So what if you are Kai Stormborn? So what if you are a genius? Are you worthy enough to wield me and slaughter your way up? ARE YOU?!-

Bang!

A tremendous bang rang in Kai's mind, and blood seeped out of the corners of his mouth.

He staggered back, almost falling off the pillar.

-I have linked the concepts of the Spiritual Awakening from Verse Fusion World and Bleach Random World with the Reality Marbles from the Fate Random World,- the Sword Spirit hissed, its voice like the edge of a sword, -This means, unless you have the power to cast a Reality Marble by yourself, you won't be able to come here.

-This is your opportunity, Kai Stormborn. And perhaps the last as well. If you can know my name, then my power will belong to you. I will help you in your obsession with obtaining Power.

-Otherwise… Keke!-

Kai said nothing, his bloodshot eyes under the sinister hood asking all the questions for him, showing his resolve.

The mouthless Sword Spirit seemed to sneer at this sight.

-This Reality Marble is your Inner World,- it said, its hisses gaining an ancient air. -The Inner World is your Self. This Reality Marble is me as well.

-I will give you an opportunity to comprehend the true essence of this Reality Marble, Kai Stormborn.

-One opportunity. If you can understand it, learning my name, right here and now before the time runs out for us, then it will be your serendipity.

-If not, then not only you will lose the Book, but you will also lose your claim over my assistance. Dare you accept it? Dare you face this difficulty of my standards; our standards? Or…

-… would you prefer running away as you had before, leaving your mother's corpse at the mercy of Brock Valeheart? Keke!-

Anger… pure wrath boiled inside Kai's heart, shaking his entire body.

The end of his long, white hair under the cloak glowed yellow, his eyes burning, his breath quickening like that of a predator in heat.

Comprehensions, by nature, were spontaneous.

None could force them upon oneself.

This wasn't just difficult, anymore, for even difficulties gave the impression of success. Not of absolute failure.

The Sword Spirit didn't even look at Kai. It had put its hands behind its back, eying the distant horizon beyond the puny existences as if it had done so for countless ages.

There was an extremely archaic presence about the Sword Spirit's stance that felt like billions of beings were prostrating under it, looking up at it with reverence.

Kai shut his eyes, and then snapped them open.

He drew a sharp breath and looked at the sky.

The sky of his home.

-Only fools think running away from difficulties brings happiness,- Kai hissed, his gaze burning with desire. -No. This shit follows you everywhere you go. Like a fucking shadow. Letting yourself fall into the darkness of self-pity is a solution. A weak, temporary solution.

-But if you want to grow, ascending toward the Peak of Absolute Power, then there is only one way. Face the difficulty, no matter its size and nature, and crush it.

-Rip it from the roots and burn it to ashes. Only take the next step when you have made sure that not even the faintest shadow has been left alive behind you.

-This is… my Demonic Attitude. Hehe!-

Kai's tongue slithered out and ran over his decayed mouth.

-I will take on this opportunity. Otherwise…- Kai hissed, completing the sentence which the Sword Spirit had left unsaid. -… ashes to ashes and dust to dust!-

The yellow-haired being gave Kai a look before lifting its finger and putting it on his forehead.

It was then that the Blood World stirred.

It was then the sky changed color.

Boommmmmmmmmmmm!!!

…

The sky of the Reality Marble, Limitless Blood Firmament, was dull, gray, and silent.

Not anymore.

Night, the blackest, vilest, and evilest of all, had descended upon the blood world.

It was as if one was looking into the vastness of space, the darkest hidden secrets of unknown existences.

And as one kept looking at this darkened sky, one felt a stirring in their soul, as if they would crumble in the very next moment.

This night hadn't come alone, though.

It had brought pressure with itself.

This pressure was greater than anything.

This pressure restricted space and time, the flow of Mana and Breath, and the entire world.

It was so for Moraine the Elegant, who had regained consciousness a while ago. Now, she was struggling to look up at the Night, her mouth hung open and her eyes stunned.

It was so for Red Sun, the Top-level 9th-floor Contestant.

The fluctuations about his appearance had receded, but his knees were pressed deep into the blood layer. His neck was craned up, his eyes feeling the might of the Night through the amber-colored glasses.

And it was so for Shadow Lord, the existence just a touch above the 9th-floor strength, as well.

The tall and powerful Pirate Lord was still backing up, grabbing Cersei's head, when he suddenly paused.

Shadows churned about him, around him, and yet, the Night forced him to look at it, its unsaid command suffocating all the defying thoughts.

…

Kai's eyes had rolled back into his head.

He couldn't see the Night. Nor could he feel the pressure.

In his mind, rows of words were appearing, originating from the deepest parts of his soul.

-Know whiteness, Maintain blackness, and be a model for all under heaven. By being a model for all under heaven, Eternal integrity will not err. If eternal integrity does not err, You will return to infinity.-

What these hisses meant, and what they signified, Kai didn't know.

However, as the words kept hissing in Kai's mind, the Night above him also began changing.

In the sky, nine yellow stars materialized, twinkling with filthy hideousness. There was something truly horrible about their presence, chilling the sights.

What truly strange was that eight of the nine yellow stars were in the sky, but the ninth star was in the center of the hole in the sky.

Unknown to everyone, a tenth star had twinkled into existence as well - in Kai's heart.

And if that wasn't enough, then these stars seemed to form a constellation.

Kai couldn't see them, yet, words escaped his mouth like a ghostly hiss.

-The Tree of Life!-
