Chapter 14 : An Offered Blade to Cleanse The Humiliation

It is in this undiscovered dimension that a massacre occurred. Dark, shapeless beasts that roam this realm were banished by the light from the fiery greatsword.

They tried to fight back, mimicking the form of humans, of tanks, of beasts, but all was reduced to nothing when they stood before the might of mankind's strongest.

Kevin Kaslana.

He swept through this dimension of darkness, using his greatsword to light his way while banishing these creatures.

"Tsk. I guess cooking noodles for too long really reduced my ability to think twice before doing something." - Kevin whispered as he began to realize how things are now.

It's not like any of these creatures could hope to overpower him, even if they are endless, he shall know no fear.

"Should've listened to Grey Snake."
He said as he backhanded a beast taken the form of a mecha, killing it as the head exploded into pieces of dark smoke.

All in a sudden, the realm slightly got brighter, allowing Kevin to see the surroundings briefly, before noticing the tall shadows in the horizon.

Are those some tower-like structures? Or are those some living beings? Having remained calm despite that, Kevin raises his sword, and it burns even brighter, to the point the fire alone was enough to eradicate those who were foolish enough to approach him.

Then he hears a laugh, a mischievous laugh. He didn't know where it came from, but he did turn his head around slightly to check.

But there is something wrong here. And with every second passed in this realm, Kevin can feel it approaching.

"I can smell the cold blood on your hands... Kevin Kaslana. The Deliverance."

"Who are you?"

"Come to me."

The horrors of darkness hid themselves immediately, while Kevin looked at where the voice came from, he saw a bridge constructing itself from the debris that floated from the ground, connected all the way to one of the giant shadows in the horizon.

He took the path and walked towards the light at the end of it.

Back on the Moon. Where you are at.

"HUHHH????"

You were confused by what she just said. The highly Herrscher of the Void just literally said that she wanted to pay you with her body just for you to cook for her? And yes that's a quick summary for anyone who forgot what happened.

And then you lost consciousness. You didn't remember what happened. But when you woke up, you felt something wrong. You're laying on top of a big flat stone with a blanket covering you, your clothes felt messy too.

You were wondering what happened until it hit you, the Herrscher of the Void slept next to you.

"...." - You close your eyes and lie your back down again. Then you get up again. Open your eyes and she's still there. "....."

"MY GLORIOUS QUEEN!! I HAVE SUCCESSFULL-" - Benares stormed into the "room" through the door, seemingly excited until she see you and her Queen.

"...."

"... You... uhm... erm... ah... wh- what are you- DOING TO MY QUEEN." - Benares' attitude changed completely.

The air suddenly got colder, as you saw the smoke coming from the furious girl who stood there.

"Ah duck ah duck." - You whispered as you panicked, thinking what to do.

"One." - Benares snapped her fingers.

"WE'RE BASICALLY DOING NOTHING HERE YOU SEE-"

"TWO." - She looked down, let her hair cover her eyes, but you can still see the light coming from her eyes as if she was a robot.

"OH COME ON I DON'T EVEN KNOW-"

"THREE." - Claws emerged from the skin on her hand, these pointy claws will surely serve as good kitchen appliances. Also knives for torturing. Also scissors for balls cutting...

Just as when she was about to attack you, Herrscher of the Void woke up, using her powers she managed to lock the motion of the executioner mid-air.

"So noisy..."

She said as she rubbed her eyes, while half looking at her loyal, faithful servant.

"My glorious Queen!! What has this filthy human done to you!!?? He has tainted your holiness my glorious Queen! Please, allow me to perform a quick cleansin-" - Before Benares could have finished her dialogue, the Void Queen raises her hand, which is asking her to shut up.

"Firstly I am not tainted. Secondly, you are being rude. Thirdly!!" - The Void Queen stand on the "bed", it's just a big flat stone you two slept on. "HE IS MY HUSBAND NOW!!!!!!!"

"WHAT??"

You tried to hold your surprised face in, but your eyes sold your expression out, and the Queen smiled smugly. She continued.

"So behave yourself!!"

".....My glorious.......Queen............."

Benares looked like she had to choose between things, and it was too much for her to handle, so she passed out on the spot.

"...."

So that leaves you and the Herrscher of the Void.

"You were pretty roug-"

You stopped her.

"Please just shut up... please..."

You looked tired and frustrated, but Sirin is giggling.

"Fufufu~ Are you happy~?"

She asked, eager for your answer.

"... How am I going to explain this to them..."

"Fufu~"

"Anyways, what happened? You mentioned someone raiding your home..."

You changed the topic, which made the Queen of the Void silent, she has gone back to her serious mode and then she begins to speak.

"Alright... So where should I start..."

A few days earlier.

The World Serpent killing machines had just slaughtered all the followers of the Herrscher of the Void, who were outside defending the Ruined Palace on the Moon.

These cold war machines continued to march into the Palace, with blood still dripping off from their sharpened weapons...

When they breached into the main gate, a strong gust of wind blew them off, damaging a few.

"Who dares to attack this sacred sanctuary of my Queen?!!"

Benares, while still in her human form stepped forward, and followed after her was the Herrscher of the Void herself.

"Hmph..."

The Queen looked at these pathetic machinery warriors down there, all immobilized upon her gaze.

"Take the trash out, Bella."

She ordered, her executioner's right arm then transformed, back into her original form, and was about to wipe them all out.

"Sire!!"

From the distance, far away from there, in the middle of a pile of corpses, Kevin dashed forward and punched Benares in the head, before any of them could have reacted, Benares had already received a blow.

"!!! Bella!!"

The Herrscher of the Void immediately opens Void Portals, followed by the Void Lances to attack the white haired man. But he deflected and broke them with ease.

The Void Queen had no choice, but to withdraw from there immediately, she would have to abandon her pride once more, fleeing from a human, as well as letting her throne to be claimed by them... But she will return.

"And... when Bella wakes up she's... yeah." - Sirin said as she sighed after looking at Benares on the ground. "How come this happened..."

"..."

You feel bad for her, but couldn't stop wondering what Kevin is planning to do here.

Meanwhile, at Uncle Kevin's place.

"..." - Kevin looked around, he saw nothing after entering the light. "Anyone here?"

"Yes, just a moment. Having to take these expensive snacks out took me a while." - Kevin heard a voice behind him, he immediately turned around.

Then he sees it. A thing. Not a human, not a dog, not a fish, not an Otto, nor any creature he knows of.

It was like a mummified corpse with their head replaced with a combination of tentacles and eyeballs.

"Didn't have much visitors these days you know, except for the A-"

"Ow my eyes, ow." - Kevin's very own eyes were hurt by the mere existence of this abomination being received to it.

"..."

"Sorry, damn. What are you?"

"Hmm that is certainly an interesting question! What am I?" - The creature then flipped itself upside down while floating. "Am I a human? Because I can speak? Isn't that just racist? Just because I can talk?"

"... Stop fooling around."

"Am I? Is it because I am talking nonsense? Or that I am not like what you expected when stepped into this realm?"

"I'm giving you one last chance or I will-"

"-Say Haiyaa and do my signature move as a sign of disapproval." - The thing mimicked the voice of Kevin, it surprised him. "Now doesn't that sound familiar to you?"

"..." - Kevin was dumbfounded by this.

"Now why don't you sit down and talk a bit? We have plenty of time in this Realm." - The creature said, as suddenly out of nowhere a set of tables and chairs appeared with cookies and tea prepared.

"..."

Back to you.

"I wondered the same. There is nothing valuable on this Moon for someone like him to suddenly come... At least according to my knowledge." - Sirin said.

You tried to think what Kevin was planning to do here. Was he trying to colonize the Moon?

"Hmm... I once heard that there were traces of an ancient civilization here on the moon." - You asked her.

"Yeah there is, I mean, most of it crumbled to dust, but the chair is comfortable. And they have a strong wifi signal here too."

"...yeah right... hmm... Kevin..."

Now you think about it, what do you know about Kevin? Barely anything useful. You've only known him through his Uncle Kevin Yertube channel which has been terminated.

"Hmm... Sirin? Do you happen to know anything about Kevin?"

"Well... All I know is that he's scarily strong. And is also a Kaslana."

"A Kaslana?"

You were surprised.

"He's Kiana's father?"

"No... He's like her... great... great great great.... Um... great great great great... uhm... great great grandfather." - She explained and you just suddenly realized that a massive family tree is coming to an end because the youngest generation is a lesbian.

"... Okay... Now that's something, is there anything we can do with that information?"

"No but we do have to be wary of their unmatched physical strength which the bloodline had gained with the sacrifice of being able to cook." - Sirin said.

"..."

"Anyways, if you want to stop him, wouldn't it be the best if you confront him now? He wants to settle things with you here, on the Moon right? Now you have us here so it might be easier." - Sirin said, while looking at Benares.

"..."

You think again about the odds, it's more likely that you could leave the Moon in one piece with the Void Queen's help.

"Alright then."

Back to Kevin's.

"And then he dried the noodles with a frying pan." - Kevin was happily chatting with the thing in its realm.

"That sounds awful. Reminding me of one time I got punched many times in the face by the-"

"Wait... wait..."

"Yes?"

"... What were we talking about?"

"Oh, the Ana-"

"No! I mean before all this nonsense! I came here because there was an unusual rupture of some kind of power that is similar to Imaginary!" - Kevin said as he held his sword again, but not going to attack the thing.

"Wow there... wow I suppose that you didn't like the cookies."

"Nah it's just..." - Kevin sighed. "What are you?"

"Hmm... I... Well, you probably don't have any record about me, who I am, but what exactly am I? How can I describe myself easily enough for you to comprehend?"

"... Let's start with the name."

"Hmm I bear many names and titles. Some called me the Octopus Face, some called me Nerd, but to be fair they have reasons to while you don't-"

"Stop."

"Okay, call me...

Honaki."

Back to Kiana, Mei and Bronya.

"I've detected Captain's presence nearby, but the signal is getting jammed by something..." - Bronya said while she looked at the monitor on her machine.

"Did I just smell... noodles?" - Kiana noticed something.

"Huh, that'll be weird."

Kiana looked around carefully and slowly going to where she thinks the smell is coming from.

Then she discovered a cave.

"Hey guys?"

Mei and Bronya got to her side, they were surprised at what they saw.

The Captain's Hat, left there on the ground.

"..."

They carefully inspect the cave, in hope for acquiring some clues about your whereabouts. But they couldn't find anything related to you, as if they were on someone else's property.

Kiana saw the leftover noodles cup, then sat down on the ground, being sad, the same goes for the other two but they just stare in silence.

"He... Must have fought bravely while waiting for us." - Mei said.

Bronya nodded, after seeing that the crates in the cave were all seized from World Serpent's cargo ships.

"It must have been lonely here for him..."

Mei looked at the blanket staying on some stone platform that could be a bed, with a pillow-shaped stone at one end.

"But he... I think he believed that someone would come to save him."

Kiana looked at the leftover cup noodle, it wasn't cooked by someone who is desperate and gave up completely. It was cooked with passion, by someone who still has the will to fight.

"We will take him back." - Kiana said.

The other two nod, and they set out again, this time, determined to fuck up the Society of the Snek's base of operation on the Moon.

Note : You haven't died... yet.

Meanwhile, at you.

"CAN WE SLOW DOWN-"

You were almost blown away from the back of Benares in her dragon form, but Sirin successfully caught you.

"Sorry! Seems like it's hard for you to ride upon her back! But we can't afford to risk exposing ourselves to their sensors!"

As Sirin just finished her sentence, she clicked her tongue, as she saw guns in the distance rise on their platforms, they aimed at Benares and fired.

"Bella."

Benares nodded slightly and exhaled heavily, soon, the air particles which she just released quickly froze around her, and formed giant icicles. These icicles were launched forward and destroyed the enemy guns.

But more showed up, and to their surprise, before they could take a shot, Void Lances were summoned all over the area and they pierced through the defensive mechanism.

"This type of technology... World Serpent's?" - You asked.

"Yeah. They are currently building a base on where I lived for years. The Fallen Palace, as I like to call it." - Sirin said as she continued to work with Benares to take down the turrets.

Meanwhile, inside the base.

"What do you mean you lost him?" - Grey Serpent furiously asked his fellow cyborgs.

"I dunno, he was just, behind us and boop, his ship disappeared without a single trace." - One of the cyborgs explained.

"Attention." - Another cyborg comes in, this one seems to have been modified as a guard. "Unidentifiable enemy approaching our location, many type 3 and type 4 defensive mechanisms have been destroyed."

"WHAT?"

Grey Serpent shouted in surprise.

"Activate all the defensive protocols now! Stop it in its track!"

Meanwhile Benares is still flying, with you and Sirin on her back, you are close to the palace, and you are afraid that Kevin might come out any moment now, but that's why you're here anyways, to settle things with him.

Benares then suddenly got shot down, not exactly it, just got stopped and was forced to land, she didn't receive much of an injury due to her invulnerable scales.

"Bella!"

"I'm sorry my glorious Queen... But it seems like the enemy is taking us seriously." - Benares talked to her master as she looked, the entire base was put on high alert, and much bigger guns were raised from the ground, all aimed at the dragon.

"This is bad... Bella can't use all her powers on the Moon... And I don't think I can take them all down at once." - Sirin said to you, while she tries to use as many Void Lances as she can.

Then suddenly, like a comet from the above, passing your heads and crashing into one of the big guns, the familiar Valkyries came to the rescue.

"Are those..."

"They really came..." - You were glad when you saw them.

Kiana, Mei and Bronya. They came to get you back.

"Alright... Let's wreck everything." - Kiana cracked her knuckles and said, as Bronya brought out guns, while Mei was summoning Kurikara.

Back to Kevin

"That's gotta be the stupidest name you could've come up with." - Kevin said.

"Wh- wh, Alright maybe it wasn't that good of a name but names alone don't define people."

"Are you even a person to begin with?"

".... Now you're just being mean >:("

"Tell me." - Kevin sighed, and then spoke. "What do you want, Honaki? Are you my enemy?"

"Hmm... I'll level with you. You see, I love... Fates taking really unexpected sharp turns. And I often intervene with it."

"For what purpose?"

"Entertainmentttt!!"

"..."

"Oh come on, you'll do the same thing if you were me!"

"Enough, what does that have to do with us?"

"Well you see, you taking revenge on a guy because your noodles got wasted is funn-"

Kevin suddenly slammed the Cleaver of Shamash right next to Honaki.

"Finish that word and I'll chop your head clean off."

"But, I'll let you know something. Although I possess no ability to see the future, I have a feeling that... You are going to lose."

"... Is this a joke?"

"I love jokes, they are funny!"

"How could I lose to him?"

"Well technically, you did."

"...."

"Come on, you can't risk another humiliation right? Isn't that why you brought him here on the Moon, to make sure no one will get into your fight as well as making a huge disadvantage for him?"

"... That..."

"Well I'll let you know a funny thing. Look."

Honaki's finger tears through space, creating a fracture in the air that reveals the scene that is happening on the Moon.

"This is..." - Kevin looked at it.

"Look who he got, Herrscher of the Void and her faithful dragon, then the 3 Valkyries with one of them being your great great great great great *cough* descendant! Also one of them is her girlfriend.

While the other one was thought to be a third wheel in the first chapters."

"..." - Kevin couldn't believe what he saw at first, he actually managed to get allies despite being kidnapped and brought here alone?

"Now it seems like your plan for vengeance is slowly crumbling~~ Are you even sure about your victory now?"

"Be quiet."

Kevin began to think about his plan again, it is true that he brought you here on the Moon to not just give you a massive disadvantage in the upcoming showdown, but it is also to prevent anyone that may help you.

But now 3 Valkyries are present, if there are 3 managed to get here, who could make sure that there isn't more coming? And who knows if all the Valkyries of Schicksal are coming here?

To make it worse, Herrscher of the Void is siding with you, which is something Kevin didn't expect to happen at all, he thought you would be enemies, the Queen should have killed you because you defeated her!

"Tsk. It was all for nothing then... Well... It doesn't matter..." - Kevin almost snapped.

"Well... Since you're here and all... Hey guess what, for being my first human visitor in a longgggggggg time, I'll lend you something."

Kevin turned around.

"Power."

Honaki gave its hand out.

"..."

"Need more power?"

– Bonus: What really happened between you and Sirin –

"... Ugh..."

The Void Queen groaned as she is struggling with something proven to be hard even for her capabilities.

"Come on... This is more difficult than I thought.... How the heck am I supposed to pull this off..." - Sirin kept on trying but she still fail.

She was just trying to take your shirts off, but she can't, because of plot.

MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
