White Serpent Pirates' HQ,
Bounded Field within Darcie's Suitcase
There was an immense difference between knowing Magic and knowing its very Source, the Ancient Magical Script!
There wasn't a magic that Kai knew that he couldn't put on paper now; may it be a standard one, having a spell, or a non-standard one.
Every magical intention possessed its own stroke - the Ancient Magical Script said.
Not only did it gift the user countless ways to use the same magic, but it also strengthened the magic beyond comprehension.
One direct use Kai had found of the Script was to replace the magical runes he used to form a Temporary Bounded Field with the strokes of Script, resulting in his first, true Bounded Field.
Now, for the foreseeable future, the White Serpent Pirates' HQ was the most secure for its members.
Speaking of the members themselves, something unordinary had happened to them in the last week.
Ever since Kai had brought Black to life, he had been sending them on their own Missions to let them progress and work upon their growths.
However, it became even more important after he became an Outer One.
Kai now knew that there would be ridiculously powerful people coming for him. So, he wanted to grow his slaves as much as he wanted to grow himself as well.
In the game of Multiverse, all cards had their places to fill.
Another reason was none other than the existence of The Tales of Beedle the Bard, now transformed as the Grimoire under the rule of Multiverse Interdependency by Julius Novachrono, the Wizard King.
The 5-Leaf Clover now hovered in the sky, its pages fluttering with the roaring gusts of wind.
Under the Grimoire, the White Serpent Tower stood tall, its tallest peak seemed to be reaching out for the Item.
The Jolly Roger of the White Serpent Pirates, a human skull with a serpent slithering through its holes on a background of two crossed sabers, fluttered high and mighty as if flapping with a life of its own.
And, under the towering shadow of the Tower, booms and bangs rang out as the fight for supremacy reached its climax among the members.
Morning Mist towered high in the sky, wearing Akatsuki's robes.
Blue-black flames of raw Chakra surrounded her as she was standing on the head of an enormous cat-like beast with pupilless, yellow and green eyes, swirls of black sealing marks scattered on its body.
Two Tails — Matatabi!!!
To test out his theory regarding Godzilla Blood Essence, Kai had sent her on a Main Mission to kill it.
Meg had all but failed that mission as the Godzilla pounced upon Shukaku, thinking it to be a challenger to its domain.
Fortunately, just as she was on the verge of dying, Shukaku evolved, becoming Matatabi.
Unfortunately, a single tailed-beast bomb from the two tails had ended Godzilla's tale then, obliterating it out of existence.
Kai had not been pleased about the outcome, throwing her back into another MonsterVerse timeline, this time against both Godzilla and Ghidorah.
To make sure that the Kaijus didn't die against two tails this time, he had assigned the Main Mission to Old Sage instead, elevating the Grade of the Main Mission for Meg who was a floor lower than her student.
In the end, Kai did get to confirm his theory regarding the path he must take to devour Godzilla.
And, because of these back to back Missions, Meg became a true Top-level 8th floor Contestant, while her student, Old Sage, ascended to become Top-level 9th floor existence.
Loud thuds rang out behind the two tails as a massive King Ghidorah outstretched its wings.
It was covered in sealing marks along with magic circuits running all over its body. In the middle of its abdomen, a Kaiju Core revolved furiously.
ROAR!!!
The puppet King Ghidorah roared with its three heads, stretching its massive wings.
In its shadow, the C+ Grade Origami-Pokemon, Matatabi, growled, blue-black flames rippling off it.
If this C+ Matatabi had been an ordinary Multiversal Interdependency-birthed Pokemon, then it would have been nowhere close in power to a true C+ Grade Matatabi from the Naruto timeline.
However, what made Meg's Origami-Pokemon special was that it also possessed all the innate abilities of Shukaku as well, as it had evolved into its current form.
So, even if Meg's Matatabi couldn't win against a true Matatabi of the same grade, as it lacked the latter's firepower, it could certainly hold its ground against one.
Not to mention, after the incident with The Banished and The Existence, the Temple of Hastur seemed to have given up on her for good this time.
As a result, her Bounty skyrocketed in a matter of few months, becoming the topic of extreme shock and surprise for the Contestants in the Primordial Tower.
Her Wanted Poster now showed her in Akatsuki uniform, riding the two tails, MORNING MIST written in bold letters under it.
Bounty — 450,000,000 Berries!!!
OLD SAGE, despite not being a true member of White Serpent Pirates, had been labeled as such as well. Her Wanted Poster showed her riding King Ghidorah… still in her old wizard form.
Bounty — 360,000,000 Berries!!!
…
Opposite the master-disciple duo, surprisingly, stood the one man Meg had never once thought she would have to fight against.
Not because they were all members of the same group. Fuck that. No.
Because this man wasn't supposed to exist without her master's command. Nor was he supposed to possess any fighting capability of his own.
The Herald of Chaos, Petyr Baelish, stood like a tiny leaf against Meg and Old Sage and the colossal creatures they commanded.
However, something about him had changed as well.
Instead of bulky bronze armor, Petyr was now wearing a bronze Bio-armor made from Valyrian Steel, Vibranium, and Kaiju flesh, with black and red fissures running across the armor. It was much lighter, sleeker, and more powerful than the previous version, augmenting his strength by multiple values.
If that wasn't enough, the Kaiju-Steel-Bio-armor still carried two thin cylindrical tubes over its shoulders.
Unlike the previous armor, that carried Strengthening Potion alone, these two cylinders held a glowing, green solution, with blue particles dancing around in it.
It was a modified Strengthening Potion using Kaiju Blue as the basis.
Kaiju's blood had extremely radioactive and explosive properties which Kai, as the Master Alchemist, had fused with Strengthening Potion.
If any normal Contestant of the 9th floor were to wear this armor and then use the boost granted by the Potion, the only result would be death for him.
And Petyr feared death as much as Kai feared flies.
To test out Petyr's newfound abilities, given his upgraded Tale, Black had taken him to Black Clover timeline, assigning a Side Mission to defeat a Devil-Possessed Asta as they destroyed a city.
Black also wanted to learn more about the 5-leaf Clover in this way.
They failed the mission, of course, but by pushing Asta to the brink of death, he did make himself stand out on the greater stage.
Now, his Wanted Poster donned the image of his new suit, with BRONZE TITAN written in bold letters under it.
Bounty — 280,000,000 Berries!
Despite possessing the strength of a strength-based Top-level 9th floor Contestant, the only reason Petyr's Bounty was so low compared to Meg's was that his starting Bounty was already low.
Unlike Contestants, there was no way to track his development by the rumors.
Under the Bio-helmet, Petyr's smile was disappearing with the passing of every moment, though. Soon, it vanished altogether.
Two Valyrian Steel swords appeared in his hands, then — Red Rain!
Then, the cylinders on his shoulders slammed into him.
The modified Strengthening-Kaiju Blue Potion coursed through the armor and then into Petyr's body, elevating his existence, air fuming around him with bronze steam.
And, with a massive boom, the very earth shattered under his feet.
