Chapter 2110 Buddha's Incarnation

-----

He was but one of the many Souls lost within the endless Paths of Reality, fragmenting and constantly expanding since the Origin World was destroyed.

However, there was something special about it. Perhaps because it used to belong to a person of the Origin World, its Origin was particularly resilient.

Although it lost the memories of this first life, it kept a certain amount of intelligence, and once it reincarnated not once, but twice, thrice, and so on, the memories kept gathering and stacking.

And it was in that moment that the Guardian of Mandala took notice of them, in their 2030th reincarnation, he granted them a blessing.

And a true name.

["You will be named Nirvana Deus. This will be your True Name. A name you will carry to every reincarnation you will ever experience."]

At some point, Nirvana's soul began to evolve with each Reincarnation, his powers harnessing constantly due to all the knowledge and experiences he had.

He ended becoming the ideal Incarnation for Buddha, who required someone of a lower dimension to meddle in their affairs and achieve some of his goals.

However, despite harnessing Buddha's powers and cultivating Chakra through many reincarnations, it was never able to harness the power of Chaos nor Demons.

Every time he was going to become a Demon, it was impossible to harness Harmony to combine it with Demonic Power.

And therefore, each reincarnation was useless…

Buddha was using Nirvana to gain power and enlightenment, pretty much using him as an avatar to passively gain power.

He needed to gain enlightenment and knowledge about how to combine his Harmony with Demonic Wrath and other Sins, so he could ascend further.

And with that in mind, he purposely placed Nirvana's soul inside a newborn demon baby, which already possessed a soul of its own.

One of the most ancient demons born when the Dimension Of Hell was still very young, Beleth…

Beleth never thought that this second soul was not him, both harmonized as he grew stronger, technically feeling as if he were both of them at once.

But now, after his Will was devoured, he finally realized he had been used as a mere test subject for a Higher Dimensional being, a Constellation!

And now that Nirvana Deus was freed from the Will of Beleth being the main mind within their body, he finally felt like he "woke up" from his slumber.

And realized he had fully assimilated the Infernal and Demonic Powers that Beleth cultivated, mixing them with his Harmony Chakra!

"Hahahah…! HAHAHAHA!"

Nirvana Deus felt stronger than ever before, the Demonic Core within his chest swiftly beginning to harness his powers to its fullest extent.

"I no longer need you, Beleth! Thank you for taking care of me for so long." Nirvana gently patted his chest, as if signaling that Beleth was within his heart. "Your soul has now been fully assimilated, becoming one with me."

Beleth didn't technically died, but was assimilated by Nirvana's much stronger soul, devoured, if there was a lack of a better term.

"Now…"

He glared down with his crimson eyes, which had golden irises at Kireina and Luminous, the two strongest fighters in the area right now, who were ready to fight him.

"Kireina…" Nirvana smiled, looking at Kireina with fascination. "You're so pretty and strong, and even brave…"

FLAAASH!

Suddenly, Nirvana appeared right in front of Kireina when she blinked, surprising her slightly. Kireina didn't lose her cool, glancing at him into the eyes. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelenglish.net . ꜰɪre.nᴇt

"Your nature has changed, is this the real you?" Asked Kireina. "Was the old man still partially Beleth then?"

"Indeed." Nirvana smiled, gently caressing Kireina's face with his own golden hands. "You're similar to me, aren't you, Kireina?"

"Similar?" Kireina smiled, rising an eyebrow. "I don't know about that. Last time I checked, I wasn't a Constellation's cock sucker."

"Hah, I love that sense of humor. Despite you not remembering, we've met many times already." Nirvana smiled at her.

"What?" Kireina couldn't help but want to satiate her curiosity.

Nirvana was an incredible being, and although she wanted to cut him down to pieces, she also was wondering what knowledge he held within his countless lives.

However, those words shocked her slightly.

"I know that I've been fragmented, and those fragments became other lives." She said. "But none of them are connected to me to-"

"No, I don't mean those." Nirvana said. "I mean actual lives you've had. Your soul does not carry those memories, sadly. That is a privilege only I and my lord possess. But I've seen you many times, fighting against destiny. The Spawn of Chaos you became was an actual punishment, you know? For the sins of your past lives."

"…What?"

Kireina was then shaken by that revelation, stepping back as her Aura surged from her body.

Was Nirvana saying the truth, or was he trying to surprise her to lower her guard or sneak a strong attack on her?

"It's the truth." Nirvana smiled. "I know many things, Kireina! Although I am not a Constellation, I've seen so many things happen… You're one of them, a sister of sorts to them."

"Them?" Asked Kireina. "Who?!"

"Well…" Nirvana's eyes shone with golden light.

FLASH!

He quickly appeared above her, his muscular hands gathering Chakra and suddenly summoning two Mandala Circles with runes resembling blossoming lotus and circles of reincarnation.

"[Harmonized Mandala Arts]: [Seven Lives of Perpetual Agony]"

TRUUUMM!!!

"KIREINA!"

Luminous roared as he flew towards Nivana, Kireina ended shielding herself against the powerful physical blow, but the wave of golden light engulfed her entire soul anyways, piercing through all defenses!

And her consciousness, for a split of a second, was consumed by the flowing memories of past lives, fragments of them surging through her soul, which was much more Ancient than she could have ever imagined.

FLAAASH!

Kireina found herself sitting on the ground, chained with black chains made of cosmic and chaotic energies, her entire body covered on wounds and bleeding cosmic essence.

Her eyes glaring furiously at four thrones sitting over the enormous temple she was…

"You're a disappointment."

"Why, just why are you trying to do this, my dear?"

"How many times have I told you to not try our patience, Umbra?"

"We've forgiven many of your sins, but this… This will be the last."

Kireina didn't know who they were, but something deep down within her, made her feel like she knew them from somewhere.

Their bodies were covered on armor, veils, and auras, so she was unable to see their appearances, but there was a striking resemblance with her within their appearance.

Giant butterfly wings, all four of them held them…

"W-What is this?!"

Kireina couldn't speak, but was confused about who they were, and what this was even!

Nirvana had used a strange ability that tapped into people's forgotten past life memories, quickly sending her into an illusion.

Currently, she was unconscious!

"I need to wake up and-"

"I don't care what you do to me. I will keep fighting; I will keep struggling!" Kireina's voice echoed. "Sisters, don't you understand the destruction and pain you're bringing to the people of all Reality?! Each time you gather a Fragment, so many die!"
