"This is…?"
Noah was shocked so many people of this world appeared out of nowhere, feeling slightly threatened, as this could mean he was going to be affected by the world's rules and might suffer penalties if he continued beneath the eyes of so many original inhabitants. He immediately considered retreat.
"Eh? You guys?!"
And Kireina… seemed to know them, or recognize some of them, smiling, although a bit disappointed they were here already. She wanted the battle to last longer and test her new and strange, evolved abilities after she survived that explosion.
"You know them?" Noah asked angrily, readjusting his tie. "I thought you wanted a battle between the two of us, but you ended calling backup. I suppose you're a coward at the end, Kireina."
"Yeah they're part of my family's organization and- Who are you calling a coward?!" Kireina got pissed off. "I never called any of them here, you know?! And…"
"Young Lady Kireinaaaa!"
"Please stand back!"
"We heard from your father that you were in danger, so we came running to your aid!"
Before Kireina could even continue talking, the people started calling for her and thinking she was in great danger.
And in a way she was! But her abilities made it so despite that she could even come back from the dead, several times in a row at that.
Mostly thanks to the powers of her Psyche, which had been directly created by fusing the Dao of the Cycle of Reincarnation into it, manifesting such a strange, overpowered ability.
"Don't you dare touch our young lady, bastard!"
"We got her covered!"
"You're safe now, young lady."
Dozens of powerful agents descended from the skies, some of Kireina's wives among them, placing themselves in front of her, facing Noah with their weapons. Unknowing of how out matched they truly were before the almighty strength of the Vampire God Emperor.
"You guys… Hah, it was about to get good!" Kireina lamented. "I never called any of you guys here either! Why are you suddenly showing up? I was about to…!"
"What? Milady, please just stand back!"
"Wait, this monster…! Isn't he…?!"
"Isn't he your teacher? He dared attack you?!"
"Hmm…" Noah didn't say anything, inspecting his surroundings in silence, squinting his crimson eyes while remaining completely mute, he even ignored these people in front of him, he had no intention to talk.
TRUUUM!
And then, he noticed a powerful presence, surpassing all Outer Gods he had faced, surging from within the rift.
A man made of pure chaos, with two white dots as eyes, and a white line as a mouth.
Kireina's "dad".
He only glanced at him from afar, his aura enough to make Noah smile a bit, his eyes widening as he realized there were some formidable beings even in this strange and fragmented parallel world.
"Hah, you sure hit the jackpot with this background and family, Kireina…" Noah laughed, his gaze no longer matching her father's. "I'll spare your lives for now… I've had enough for today. I honestly need a rest from you. You're simply… too much."
"What do you mean I am too much?" Kireina asked angrily. "I was about to beat you, I swear!"
"Hmph…" Noah glanced at her one last time. "Next time it won't be as easy for you to revive endlessly. I've seen enough, and I'll create a way to counter it… What you've done to my world cannot be forgiven."
Noah quickly left the Domain within the Other Side, disappearing on an explosion of bats made of blood, as everyone was left speechless… they chased after him, but he was gone, completely.
He didn't even fight, he just left like nothing!
Kireina was left slightly annoyed, one side of her wanted to fight more, the other side wanted Noah to become her friend instead of an enemy that wanted to kill her.
Yeah, the talk and negotiations didn't really go that well, and it seemed that Noah had a massive hate boner against her.
It seemed he was already informed about the sun disappearing and being stolen and eaten by her, and about the Ancient Sun God being released as well, causing great catastrophe in Abyss.
So, therefore, he hated her for that! Why wouldn't he? Abyss was his home and the world he protected and even somehow grew to love, despite how horrible it could be at times.
"Agh, dammit…"
Kireina sighed, crossing her arms, she would have to sit down and think of ways to reconcile with Noah now.
Perhaps restoring the sun down there could help, and maybe taking care of the Sun God too, but now that she was here for the moment, that would have to be left for later.
"My daughter!"
And to make things worse, her "father" quickly descended, confronting her after what he had seen her doing. He wasn't really happy about her little fight with that man either.
"A-Ah! Father?! You came too?!"
Kireina panicked a bit, realizing her father was here, despite not being her true father, the memories of the girl raised by him merged with hers.
Deep down, subconsciously, she appreciated him at least, and didn't want to make him feel upset. Even more now that he had stepped into a completely different path than the Chaos Gate Leader of the original timeline where Frank came from.
Turning him into the ruthless, chaotic evil that was that version wouldn't really be the best thing! Although he still was all of that, the existence of a daughter softened him tremendously.
"But of course I came! I sensed your life in danger! For a moment I thought you died!"
"Oh…"
"I'm really happy you're alive but dammit, don't be so reckless, girl! I know you're powerful, but you need to be careful!"
"Yes, yes…"
Kireina was being reprimanded right now, she simply nodded and accepted it, using all the Japanese customs, she even bowed a little!
"And about that man…" her father said. "Investigate his background, where he came from, where he lives, who he is! I need to know everything about that bastard. Don't ever think we'll let you off the hook for daring to attack my treasure…"
The wrath of the boss of Chaos Gate made even his subjects' tremble.
"Eeeh, I wouldn't recommend you do that, dad… Seriously, trust me."
Kireina didn't like that idea one bit.
Noah and his family were the real final bosses now!
