Chaos and Order - A Multiverse Fanfic

In a battle of such scale, it was hard taking out HP, MP, or SP Capsules and consuming them.

So Kai had been storing them away somewhere else.

A place where others couldn't follow him, see him, or sense him.

With no sound, Kai dropped into his own shadow and walked out from King Arthur's shadow, his face flushed after regaining HP and MP.

Now, both of them were within the shield.

Cra-ck-kk!

Sounga landed on King Arthur's back, and the pure damage of the evil sword crunched the bones.

The Inferi tried to use the momentum to rush out from the dishonorable ambush, but Telekinesis tugged him back.

Kai spun and kicked at the same spot.

The Inferi's back shattered.

King Arthur gave up on running.

Excalibur let out the holiest glow, and the Inferi planted it in the earth.

Suddenly, Kai felt his connection to the Shadow Realm getting cut off. The Inferi turned around, growled, and looked at Kai with red glowing and dead eyes.

Now Kai was the trapped one in this magical shield, with an existence equivalent to a Top-level 10th floor Contestant.

Or was he?

…

Since the moment the Systems had transformed his Glitch, and he had devoured new magical creatures, Kai had been experimenting with their powers, projecting their strengths and weaknesses.

There were no Stats that spoke the truth about an Item, Skill, or Title, Meg and Red Sun had warned him.

It was just like Magneton's Stats, which only had two Skills.

But it didn't mention that Magneton-Kai could fly and could control, though only rudimentary, electromagnetism in his surroundings.

It was also like Dementor Blood Essence's stats, which didn't mention the innate cold and despair it carried around it.

Shockingly, and to Kai's stupendous bliss, the Glitch was like that too.

The Specifications of Kai's transformed Glitch said — You can activate only one Blood Essence's Skill at a time, for 5 minutes with a cooldown of 30 seconds.

That meant he could change from one transformation to another freely, but if he were to use a Skill, then he must wait for 30 seconds to use another.

To Kai's surprise, this particular constraint… only applied to the Permanent Blood Essences.

The Temporary Blood Essences had no such restrictions.

It meant no Skill Cooldown between one transformation and another.

And that's why Kai had put Deoxys on hold, going all out with only the Temporary Blood Essences.

…

As the Inferi burst out with a hideous amount of magical power, taking a stance, the Magneton part in Magneton-Kai's name vanished.

The magnets disappeared, and the screws circled back in.

The third eye in the middle of his forehead blurred out.

In a fraction of a moment, the boiling heat in the surroundings plummeted.

A new transformation began to take over Kai, the sheer number of Skills at his disposal now making him grin.

And the grin kept becoming wider and wider, his skin becoming dark purple.

The temperature fell, chilling the air, all breaths misting.

A malicious grin appeared on Kai's face.

The grin didn't vanish but kept stretching back, extending to the ears.

There was something mischievous about Kai's grin as if he was about to play the grandest prank.

It didn't end there, either.

The sclera of his eyes became red and his entire body began bulging out, almost like he was gaining the weight of many grams per thousandth of a second.

Purple spikes jutted out of his back and a few short ones appeared on his head as well.

By the end of it, a purple giant was standing on the battlefield, his eye level matching the 13 ft tall Inferi.

Temporary Blood Essence — Gengar!

…

Kai's eyes glowed purple.

Then he laughed at Inferi and melted back into shadows.

The path to the Shadow Realm that Excalibur had barred could never stop him now.

Gengar was the master of shadows and, like Dementor's innate cold and despair, entering shadows and living in them was this Pokemon's ability.

It was a beautiful combination of Kai's shadow-related Skills and Gengar's abilities.

The thing was, Kai had already planned to devour Gengar, replacing Gyarados, when he was on Island X.

The enemies had already blocked his path to the Shadow Realm many times in the past.

Now, after returning, he couldn't have done that to him during Missions, right?

Not learning from experiences and doing nothing about them wasn't Kai's style, anyway.

But now that he could devour four Temporary Magical Creatures, he could hold on to Gengar and decide it later.

Gengar-Kai walked out of Red Sun's shadow and the man jumped like a little girl.

"Damn! You scared me! Wow… you look fat… and chubby…"

Kai ignored the blubbering fool and rushed toward the Inferi.

"ROARRRRRRRRRRR!!!" King Arthur lifted his head toward the sky and growled like a mad beast.

Both raised their swords, beginning another round.

But the moment Gengar-Kai arrived within 100 metres of the Inferi, a shadowy and transparent version of himself rushed out of his body.

…

The shadowy Gengar-Kai instantaneously covered the distance between Kai and the Inferi.

King Arthur hacked at it, but even Excalibur passed through it without damaging it.

Then the shadow entered the Inferi and flew out from behind his back, draining the undead of stamina and magical energy.

King Arthur's knees wobbled.

Kai's eyes narrowed into needles.

This was it.

The moment he had been waiting for…

The moment he had planned for. It had arrived.

And now was the time to deal the last blow.

Gengar's transformation smoked away and a new transformation began… more pristine… holier than both Gengar and Magneton.

Perhaps mightier than all the Blood Essences than Kai had now, excluding Deoxys.

In the distance, King Arthur sensed something wrong and growled.

He pushed himself up and entered another stance, raising Excalibur toward the sky with both hands.

On the other side, a white horn rose from the middle of Kai's head, just over the forehead.

It was just the beginning.

Two humongous angelic white wings appeared on his back, but he was already flying inches above the earth.

A dragon-like tail lashed out from his back, with two small, blue-colored orbs at the tail's tip.

A similar blue orb appeared on his chest, right below his throat.

Temporary Blood Essence —

— Dragonair!!!
