*******************

Chapter Begins:

"Exchanging Calm," the Ad Infinitum beeped.

The ever-present smile on Kai's nonchalant face vanished like a mirage.

You could see it. The corners of his lips twitched visibly as rage and demonic thoughts took over him, boiling his blood.

Like everything, Calm had become a weapon in Kai's arsenal to be called upon wherever and whenever needed. Moreover, his homunculus needed it more than him, for Black was Calm.

Murasame and Sounga fell inch by inch and fell into the sheet of the blood ocean with a soundless plop.

Daki's heart quivered.

"Ahhhh!" the Upper Rank Six Demon screamed again as if the Second Stage of Resurreccion had made her incapable of speech.

Thousands upon thousands of bloodied obi sashes poured out of her pores, her mountain-like body humming and thrumming, quaking the space.

Sonic booms reverberated like hundreds of invisible thunderbolts were hacking down the entire world.

Kai took a deep breath and stepped off the pillar.

As he fell, Kai began running down the length of the pillar, his legs a blur. "Hahaha!" he laughed as he landed, and then began running over the blood without losing his momentum.

The obi sashes, breaking the sound barrier with every turn, arrived, surrounding Kai from all visible points.

Kai's grin widened.

He bent his back and dipped his hands into the blood ocean.

Still running at blinding speed, Kai pulled out two curved heavy swords without guards, their length surpassing 6 ft.

It didn't end there, though.

Hisss!

Kai breathed, his hazel out letting out a bloody glow.

Total Concentration Selfless Breathing…

With every step, a thin blood-coating of Kai's solidified Reiatsu began covering his body. Feet, legs, waist, back, chest, hands, neck, and then head.

When it ended, Kai looked almost exactly like his Sword Spirit, Ayin. Where the Sword Spirit had a skin-tight black coating, he had now red, his long white hair flailing up and down because of the sheer running speed.

Limitless Murasame drank his Reiatsu and its white blade's edge lit up with black, cursed flames.

Supreme Sounga roared, drinking Kai's Reiatsu as well. Its black blade lit up with purple flames, oozing out nothing but pure evil.

It was then the obi sashes arrived like thousands of swords aimed at one man.

The corners of Kai's lips lifted like a bloody mask coming alive. "Now…"

Roar!!

Dragonair let out a thundering roar and shot toward Daki.

Golduck dived into the blood ocean and almost instantly surpassed Kai's speed with Wobbuffet still clung to the massive Pokemon's tail.

The space hummed with an electromagnetic storm wherever Magneton passed, letting out yellow lightning.

Koffing bit the end of Dementor's tattered cloak to gain speed as the massive being of hopelessness and despair flew toward Daki with a single order - Suck her dry off her hopes and happiness.

Gengar… was nowhere to be seen.

This was Kai's Reality Marble - Limitless Blood Firmament.

As long as Kai was here, he neither needed to activate his Glitch nor did he need to activate a Skill.

Everything, from Blood Essence's Abilities to dozens of Skills, was at a moment's notice to be used by him.

Moreover, the Blood Magical Beasts could attack on their own, using the Mana infused into the Reality Marble, which itself was being fueled by Kai's Mana.

This was the only place where Kai could really let himself loose without worrying about anything.

But it also exacted a heavy toll.

- Kekeke!- Ayin cackled, her image within the Blood Ocean following Kai's footsteps. -You have 5 minutes.-

Kai raised the swords, grinning. "More than enough…"

Clank!

Boommmmmm!!

Supreme Sounga struck an obi sash, parrying it away. With one move Kai got to know how sharp and monstrously powerful each of these obi sashes was.

Tens of more obi sashes hacked at him from all sides.

Kai slithered.

Clank! Clank!! Boommmmmm!!!

All attacks got either dozed or struck away as if Kai had always known where they would come from.

Observation Haki!

In the sky, all Pokemon were getting attacked by the Obi sashes too.

Dragonair slithered between them, approaching Daki bit by bit, always maintaining its position right over Kai's head.

The red-coated Kai crouched and jumped off, mighty waves rising in the ocean.

When Kai reappeared, he was riding the massive Dragonair, standing at the top of its head. "You ready?" he asked, letting out a toothy grin.

Roar!!

Dragon roared, but it wasn't the Pokemon who was being questioned.

The curved heavy sword in Kai's left hand vibrated as Sounga laughed. "Haha! Finally!! Let me show this… thing… what it means to crumple a mountain…"

Kai raised the evil sword, poured his Mana, and hacked.

Dragon Twister - 1 Dragon!

BOOOMMMMM!!!

Hundreds of obi sashes blurring toward Kai got smashed to pieces as a massive tornado appeared between Kai and Dai, connecting the blood ocean and the dull gray sky.

Seeing the aftermath of just the Dragon Twister's appearance, Kai couldn't help but recall Sounga's upgraded Stats.

...

The twister was still roaring, mighty winds causing the blood ocean to rile up with mightier waves. Whatever came in its path got absolutely ripped apart.

As if that wasn't enough, Magneton, now flying just under Dragonair's shadow, hummed loudly.

Skill - Thunderbolt!

Bolts of yellow lightning hurled like thunder snakes and got devoured by the twister.

In an instant, the twister became a cataclysmic electromagnetic storm covered in winds of lightning.

Synergy Skill - Lightning Dragon Twister!

Daki's eyes lost focus for a moment as she saw the lightning twister replacing the entire world in her vision.

The squirming flesh on her chest growled. "Blood Sash Type…"

Time paused...

Daki pointed her finger toward the incoming world-ending twister, a blood drop appearing at the tip of her nail.

The strange blood drop hummed so loudly that it almost drowned the roaring winds and the thundering lighting.

On the other side, Kai's eyes narrowed, becoming needles under his blood mask. "This is…"

It was then the blood drop collapsed in itself, becoming a tiny hole.

"… Black Cero!!!"

Imagine Kai's Reality Marble as an image on a paper.

A moment ago, the image contained a lightning storm with a man riding a dragon on one side and a beautiful maiden draped in mountain-sized obi sashes on the other

Now, a streak of black line appeared on it as if someone had taken a brush and drawn over the beautiful picture of destruction to ruin it altogether.

The massive twister vanished as the very winds and the bolts of lightning it was made of got hacked apart as if they were made of flesh.

The destruction didn't end there, though.

There was a giant hole in Dementor's chest. Pieces of Magneton and Koffing were still falling in the blood ocean. Dragonair had only his head remaining.

And Kai was missing his entire left side, everything except Supreme Sounga being pulverized completely.

"Pff…" Daki let out a snort seeing the scene. "Hahaha!" Then she began laughing, holding her stomach. "This was it?! And I…"

Whatever the Upper Rank Six wanted to say… got stuck in her throat.

If Kai had been in this state before coming to the Verse Fusion World, then yes, this would have been it for him. Even Ayin couldn't have saved him, then.

But he wasn't just a Contestant anymore.

Kai… was the Demon King.

Bang!!!

A loud snap echoed in the Reality Marble as left hand, waist, and left leg popped out of Kai, letting him instantly regaining his lost flesh.

"So…" Kai asked, chuckling, "… shall we continue?"
