Chaos and Order - A Multiverse Fanfic

Sir Agravain… Kai read the name on the gravestone of the 6th Circle's guardian. Petyr… he's half-a-step into the 7th-floor's realm.

Kai shook his head and then looked at the ingredient, his eyes popping out suddenly.

Phoenix's Egg?!

Kai had expected that this Dark Scroll potion would have some absurd requirements of ingredients.

But this was stretching things too far.

Phoenixes lived long, burning to ashes, and then resurrecting from them. One could search for a hundred years and yet not find the distant hint of a Phoenix's egg.

Kai and Meg shared a look, worry flashing in their eyes.

This potion would suck their wealth dry.

The only good thing was that Kai now had an organization backing him up.

"How many Mission Credits can the entire Sun and Moon Organization muster?" he asked Red Sun.

Red Sun scratched his chin, frowning.

"It's still OK," he replied, looking at the Woodcut Portkey. "Only for now, though. I doubt it will stop revealing such ingredients."

Doubt? Kai shook his head. "Let's go."

The White Serpent Pirates entered the 7th Circle — the Circle of Hermit.

In front of them stood a small hill, on top of which there was a hut. Kai lifted the Compass and saw the needle pointing directly toward the hut.

The hut's door threw open, then.

Two one-handed Inferi knights walked out in dusty, tattered white armor, one missing right hand and the other left.

In their hands, they wielded halberds, the eye slits of their helmet letting out a red glow.

"8th floor…" Red Sun mumbled.

Low-level, Kai added inwardly.

Still, their having the strength of 8th-floor Contestants meant it would be impossible for Meg, Spawn, Cersei, and Petyr to take them on, even if they worked together.

The gap between the 6th and 7th-floor Contestants was already huge, but when one put together a team like them, it was still manageable.

The 8th floor couldn't be compared with the lower levels even remotely. Moreover, there were two of them.

And yet they must clear this one as well.

Needing no command, Moraine the Elegant stepped up and walked toward the hill.

She had ascended to the 3rd Set only recently, but… Contestant Stark Blue was such an oddity, hoarding so many points above her Set Quota, that the moment she ascended, she possessed the strength equivalent to a Mid-level 7th floor Contestant.

Seeing someone stepping forward, the Inferi Knights stepped down, shaking the hill, beastly growls echoing in the surroundings.

A gust of wind picked up the pace, lifting Moraine's blue hair.

It was then it happened.

Thrummmmmmm!

With a humming buzz, a flash of blue and gold blinded the eyes, Moraine's curvy figure disappearing within it.

When the flash receded, something else had appeared in her place.

Something truly elegant.

The armor was blue and gold, with a touch of silver flashing here and there.

The previous Iron Man armor she had, which Kai had destroyed in his fight with Shadow Lord, couldn't even hold a candle in front of this one.

The plates, the shine, and the curves—it felt like it was meant for a figure like the one Moraine had.

"Mark-fucking-49!" Red Sun cursed, licking his lips. "I told you Avengers favor her."

Kai scoffed. Favor her?!

When Red Sun had told him the rumors surrounding Moraine, he hadn't even scratched the surface.

It was only after making a slave out of her did Kai learn what it meant to be a resurrected storyline Character.

Moraine the Elegant wasn't just a privileged Contestant.

She was just short of being called a Glitched one as well.

Now Kai knew why the Temple of Amon-Gorloth was so interested in her, bestowing a Blessing upon her related to another Deep One.

It couldn't have been just because of her Inheritance of Hysteria the Elegant from the Claymore Random World, which granted her the Sword Style — Elegance.

Then what could have been the reason for the Temple to give her Wings of the Grim Butterfly.

Those wings… could break apart the Yokai existing in the layers of space, regardless of the Random World, converting them into pure MP, SP, and HP, fueling Moraine's reserves.

What could be the cause for her to need so much Mana, Breath, and Life?!

What could have the Temple seen in her Stats?!

It was all because of one Standalone Title — A Standalone Title which Moraine had resurrected with —

— Avengers' Daughter!

Morgan Stark, daughter of Tony Stark, died in a timeline and became Moraine the Elegant, code naming herself Stark Blue.

Now, using her Standalone Title, she had the access to Avengers Random World Multiverse IDs Generator.

 Where Contestants, including Kai, struggled to learn Multiverse ID of Random Worlds, Moraine could generate one on the spot.

She could choose to take Missions from the said Random Worlds, taking help from the Avengers.

However, there was one fact that turned this astonishing power even more ridiculous —

— if, somehow, Moraine could jump dimensions…

That's what the Temple of Amon-Gorloth must have been counting on.

That's what Kai counted on now.

Kai saw Moraine flying up, shooting out beams of fire from Rescue Armor's repulsors. And he smiled.

A boom rang out as Moraine fired herself toward the knights.

In return, the knights lunged at her, their speeds not less than hers.

Suddenly, the metallic backpack on the Rescue Armor's back flipped open, and out came two arrays of Autonomous Energy Displacer Sentries.

Moraine paused midair and brought the Energy Displacers forward.

The knights couldn't fly like her. The two Inferi put their feet against each other and pushed, trying to dodge whatever was coming for them.

They underestimated her.

Screeeechhhh!!!

A blue beam of blinding light shot out of the Energy Displacers and hit one knight, who vainly tried to block it using the sword.

The beam took the knight along with it and landed on the small hill.

It didn't stop there.

If the hill had shaken before, when the knights were descending, now it was crying.

A massive boom rang out as an immeasurable deep hole appeared on the face of the hill, the knight lost and dead.

Moraine put the Energy Displacers back and shot toward the other knight, who still had to land on earth.

When it saw her coming, it raised its halberd and brought down, air sizzling under the might of its weapon.

The power behind the knight's blow was truly heart-palpating.

One blow was enough to kill a Top-level 6th-floor Contestant many times over.

So, it wasn't that the knight was weak. It was just that each member of the White Serpent Pirates was abnormally and illogically strong, like Kai himself.

The entire world stagnated, becoming gray and lifeless.

Wings of Grim Butterfly fluttered on Moraine's back, fueling the Rescue Armor dwindling power. Even blurs obtained blurs of their own as she shot toward the Inferi, taking out the Claymore.

An elegant, blue-gold stroke of brush traced the sky.

Even before the halberd descended, Moraine appeared in front of the knight and thrust her sword into its chest.

Then, as the world began regaining the colors, and time picked up its normal speed, she pulled out the sword and flew to the back of the knight.

Moraine put her palm against the hole in the knight's back and fired a powerful beam.

With a resounding boom, the knight got blasted into smithereens.
