Chapter 2253 Slaying The Two Recessed

??-----

CRASH!

Kireina's [Khepri's Golden Sunshine Dimension-Tearing Claws of Demise] rushed down, clashing against the wooden Recessed and crushing his entire body into the ground. Several parts of his wooden body were quickly cut apart and devoured, as Asthartez immediately realized he was being eaten by countless tiny jaws over the floating, golden and metallic hand.

"W-What's this?! AAARRGH!"

Asthartez screamed in agony, quickly opening countless eyes across his wooden body, golden beams erupting and finally destroying Kireina's Claw, only for three more to crush him once more, grabbing him and lifting him off the ground.

"Let go of me, you filthy vampires! YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS!"

The Recessed kept fighting, as Kireina created more and more Claws of Demise, crushing him constantly until she created a whole ball of them, with Asthartez inside, constantly struggling and trying to break out.

"So you say you cannot die..." Kireina smiled. "Let's see how true that is."

The golden Claws of Demise gathered the powers of her Fusion Skill Khepri, as shining golden light, a combination of Holy Chakra, Sunlight, Fire, and Chaos surged, engulfing the Recessed into an endless explosion of pure blinding, burning light.

With no space to escape or anything, Asthartez was forced to swallow all these attacks, his body constantly disintegrating and attempting to regenerate back over and over again.

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

"Let's see..."

As the Golden Claws of Demise slowly unfolded, the charred body of Asthartez appeared, falling into the floor, resembling a pile of burnt wood and countless black crystals.

"I am... not.. dead yet...!"

"You're truly undying... Let's see if you can remain alive in my stomach."

"W-Wha...?!"

Asthartez gasped in utter horror as he saw Kireina's body split open, a gigantic jaw swallowing him all of his remains completely.

"W-Wait! Wait a second...! STOP!"

GULP.

The wooden Recessed found himself falling through Kireina's esophagus, it was naturally gigantic compared to her normal body, because it was located within a different dimension.

Kireina's true body was perhaps as large as a whole planet, but merely completely compressed into her smaller form, for obvious reasons such as being able to move easily.

"W-What is this?! Where...?! Where am I?!"

Asthartez struggled, attacking Kireina's stomach walls, but nothing moved at all. It all resembled and aberrant world where the walls and the ceiling were all made of red and black flesh, constantly swirling.

Countless appendages and tentacles moved, and an endless sea of acidic green liquid oozed from everywhere. Asthartez started running away, flying to not touch the acid, but countless tentacles surged from everywhere, catching him and pushing him down into the acid's depths.

"N-No...! Stop! Uuaagghh!"

He felt tremendous agony as he continued trying to regenerate further and further while Kireina continued digesting him. It was a perpetual agony he had never felt before. However, his regeneration was not truly endless. As long as he had lifeforce to drain from targets, he could truly regenerate endlessly.

But right now, there was no more lifeforce, Kireina's stomach simply wasn't... alive. It was a strange thing, a dimension of its own, living inside of her own Origin Core.

"Just kill me... already..."

Asthartez died slowly and agonizingly, his body slowly dissolving and being absorbed. Because of his abilities, he was never able to fully stop thinking until the very end.

"Phew…"

Kireina sighed in relief as she noticed Asthartez finally died.

"Kireina-sama… Thank you for coming to my aid, I wanted to help, but I ended almost dying…" Alice sighed. "How pathetic of me."

"You helped a lot, Alice. You were very strong, Gaby too!" Kireina praised her two wives. "Thank you for buying me time, Alice, you also weakened him a lot, so it was much quicker and easier to kill him than with the other guy."

"You think too highly of me…" Alice blushed, putting her hands over Kireina's shoulders.

"I think you just underestimate yourself too much, Alice, you're very strong and you helped," Kireina was trying to be supportive. "Thanks a lot."

"Ahh, Kireina-sama, I love you so much…" Alice smiled as she admired Kireina's crimson eyes, losing herself in them.

"You're as cute as the first time I met you, my dear Alice…" Kireina smiled, caressing her beautiful face.

Lost in their vampiric passion, their lips slowly grew closer…

"Well! For now we should hurry, don't distract yourselves, the big catch's waiting for us!" Gaby snapped Alice and Kireina's little romantic moment.

"A-Ah! Right, yeah!" Kireina nodded.

"We shouldn't be doing this now, you're not wrong," Alice nodded.

"Seriously, Alice you're always stealing Kireina's attention from the rest!" Gaby crossed her arms as the trio rushed to chase Demiurgus. "You should let everyone else also have some time with her! You're too needy."

"W-What?! I am simply being nice and lovely with my beloved wife! Is there a problem with that?!" Alice groaned angrily, hissing at Gaby and showing her sharp vampiric fangs.

"Nothing wrong with that I guess, but I think you should stop asking her to spoil you as much!" Gaby said. "I also want lovely time with her!"

"Gaby, you're getting too ahead of yourself! Don't think you can just talk back to me like this!" Alice roared.

"Hah? Who do you think YOU are?!" Gaby barked back.

"Come on, please, let's make peace and love…" Kireina stopped the two. "Gaby, I'll make sure to give you lots of love once this is done, okay? I've also been wanting for a while; I'll make up for all the time we've been away."

"You swear?" Gaby asked.

"I do! Okay, let's go now!" Kireina tried to force a smile to calm her tomboyish wife down.

The trio rushed forwards, as the barrier that had been set up around Demiurgus Palace was being held by half of their group, the other half had gone to stop him.

"Dammit! Why can't I communicate with the outside world?!" Demiurgus muttered. "Is there something happening out there? A barrier of sorts, a domain, or maybe a formation?! It's inhibiting all communication to the outside!"

As the Recessed kept running away, he quickly ended running into a "dead end", or well, one where he wouldn't be able to advance without fighting.

"Yo!" Redgaria greeted him, his army of Cosmic Undead right behind him. "I hope I am not bothering you; I am just passing by~"

"MOVE ASIDE!"

Demiurgus finally snapped.
