Chapter 1117 Karlia's New Form
Chapter 1117 Karlia's New Form
?
Karlia was immortal.
Her abilities allowed her not to die.
Every time her body was destroyed, it healed within a fraction of a moment. Anytime her soul was destroyed, it was replaced with a brand-new replica.
What's more, her body developed a resistance to whatever killed her initially, making her even more powerful than before.
That was the nature of her immortality.
In the Nether Realm, Karlia had suffered for what felt like an infinity stretching on for as long as an eternity.
Dying and dying… and dying over and over again.
The horror she experienced reached a point that common sense and conventional wisdom could not apply.
It was quite literally too much for anyone to bear.
However, since her abilities allowed her to adapt after death, she would always revive much stronger than before; which would in turn cause her suffering to be raised—as designed by the Nether.
All of this would continue until either Karlia's immortality broke, or she transcended any kind of pain or suffering that could ever exist.
And she was nearly there.
The Nether's powers had nearly dulled on her, reaching a point where the pain being inflicted on her was something no other living entity had ever experienced.
The amount of energy she had to endure dwarfed anything that any creation had seen.
What, pray tell, would be born from such suffering?
There were two options.
One would be a broken being, unable to fathom anything beyond the pain and torture they had been through since that would be all they now know.
The second, however… that would be the possibiltiy of an existence that transcended any limits that currently exist.
A nigh invincible being.
And of these two options, the one that seemed to be the case for Karlia was the second.
In essence, nothing but the full power of the Nether would be able to hurt her in the slightest.
What could such a being be called?
*******
"N-no… no way…"
At this point, the one trembling was Libra.
She, the glorious constellation that was adorned with stars and galaxies, now seemed to be trembling in the presence of a mere creation.
It defied reason, but it was happening.
Karlia currently stood above Libra, and she was folding her hands while keeping a stern face. She didn't seem to be enjoying Libra's terror, but that didn't mean she was going to make it stop.
"It seems you understand now. No Constellation, or joint effort from you all, can beat me."
Whatever concept they governed had long been surpassed by Karlia's current body.
"T-that is…" Libra couldn't argue.
She still wasn't able to sense the amount of energy Karlia gave off, even now.
At first, Libra thought it was because Karlia's power was too infinitesimal that it didn't require her attention. There was a threshold a person's abilities could reach that would make a Constellation take notice.
Lewis had reached such a level, which was why she appeared to him.
However, Karlia's energy didn't give off such a wavelength, so Libra had written it off as simply irrelevant.
But now, after witnessing this Succubus' power, she had a different interpretation of why Karlia's power couldn't be detected by her.
'... Too much. I-it's too much…!'
Karlia's energy was too much for even a Constellation to register.
"I believe in peace. I don't like violence…" Karlia's words echoed in Libra's ears.
She stretched forth her hand, and suddenly…
~VWUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!~
A massive surge of energy burst forth, and then coalesced on the palm of her hand.
The energy condesnced to form an orb, one that shone brighter than the sun and glimmered with immense power.
Even Libra knew how much the power Karlia just effortlessly generated was.
"This orb has enough power to kill you. I could end your life right now."
Libra knew she wasn't bluffing.
Constellations were thought of as immortal. However, that was simply because no one else could kill them.
The Nether and Aether could do it, but they were too bound and fixated on their roles to do anything like that.
However, with an entity like Karlia present, the tides were shifted.
"M-mercy…" Libra couldn't believe the words she was uttering. "P-please show mercy…"
Whether she liked it or not, she had to beg.
The gigantic form of Libra bowed before the tiny speck that was Karlia. She quivered and pleaded to be spared, as a child would an adult.
It was… quite a pathetic sight.
"I'm in a good mood, so I will consider it. I just got reunited with Lewis, after all. He just proposed to me, and we're getting married soon. I also got to see him do cool things, and I plan to see what more he'll show me."
Libra didn't know why Karlia was talking to her about her love life, but she couldn't complain.
Better to listen to that than be dead… right?
"Here's what's going to happen. You're going to return to wherever you crawled out of, and you're going to deliver my message to the rest of your buddies." Karlia began, her tone growing sterner.
It seemed she was done reminiscing about her lover.
"Eeek!" Libra leaked out.
"If they mess with me, my man, or anything we care about… you're all dead." Karlia's imposing tone shook Libra to her core.
She nodded profusely, instantly understanding what she meant.
"Seems like you understand. That's good." Karlia's tone softened at this point.
The overwhelming that covered the pervasive blackness of space finally melted.
"I-I understand. I will deliver your message. I will… make sure never to bother you again… or that world of yours."
There were many universes, all in the form of branches within the Nether Tree.
Why would Libra risk her life because of one tiny planet within one insignificant solar system, within a remote galazy, within just one universe.
There were so many others that she could go to instead.
"Perfect. We understand each other." For the first time ever, Karlia gave a friendly smile.
It radiated such warmth that Libra thought it was almost unreal.
~FSHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU~
The energy orb in Karlia's grasp dissipated as she closed her palm, finally ending the threat to Libra's life.
The Constellation found herself sighing in relief.
"Now scram." Karlia pleasantly smiled, though one could tell that something threatening laced those words that she uttered.
"Y-yes! Right away! A-and… congratulations on y-your… wedding…" Libra uttered, offering a salute.
"Thank you! I'll send an invitation to you if Lewis wants to have guests."
"T-that wouldn't be neccessary. Hahaha… I should go now…"
Karlai shrugged, still wearing her smile.
Libra had enough tact to know when not to overstay her welcome. And so, in the blink of an eye, she vanished from her position, something she hadn't been able to do before since Karlia's energy kept her trapped.
With Libra gone, and the vastness of space finally experiencing peace thanks to the dissipation of both Karlia's and Libra's overwhelming presence, the conflict was over.
"Alright then…" Karlia's eyes twinkled as she looked into the far distance.
"I should get back now."
