Kali

## Image Gallery

**Kali** is the main antagonist in **Island Part 2**. She is a high tier demon that was summon by Gungtan to wreak havoc on Jeju Island.

## Background

Kali is a member of the Black Wing Clan part of the realm of the 33 Hindu gods, and thus requires a series of rituals to be summoned, just like how Garmaldi was summoned in Blade of the Phantom Master. This is why Gungtan had to go thorugh the elaborate ritual to get here to the human plane and needed the talisman to connect her to this world in her physical form. Furthermore, as most Black Wing Clan members, they feed off the anger, despair and fear of humans, thus Johan, at one point, suggests that perhaps Kali's goal was never to destroy Jeju Island, but cause fear to control humans, thus using a mass illusion instead of just killing everyone.

## Plot Overview

### Past

The Ksitigarbha Sect tried to summon Kali using the Bhikkuni, but Van appeared to stop them, destroying the entire cult, killing all the monks and setting the temple on fire. Upon arriving at the Bhikkuni, she was covered in talismans and upon seeing Van, Kali protruded from her back revealing herself. Bhikkuni, using the last of her reason, tells Van to promise to be a good person, then she would have no regrets. Though unable to save the Bhikkuni, Van was able to stop Kali's summoning.

### Island Part 2

#### Kali's Summoning

Kali was summon by Gungtan inside a cave through a ritual.

At Donaeko, after being briefly possessed, Miho encounters Kali in a vision where Kali takes over Gyobin and Kali is a bit surprised to see that Miho has noticed her.  As Miho begins running towards Wonang Falls to grab the talisman, Kali appears from the water and grabs her.  Kali pulls Miho underwater and out of the talisman, monsters appear to take over Miho.  Van stabs Miho to slice the talisman inside her and the creatures come out. Kali appears and Van attacks her, but she teleports behind him. Van begins to tear down the mountain.

Van later travels to Hallasan where he fights with Kali, the two slashing each other. In the distance, Suki watches. Van grabs Kali to cast a spell, but Kali also grabs Van’s head and causes it to burst in blood.

In the battle, Van places esoteric power into his vajra and sends Kali into a separate subspace. However, that would only buy some time as long as the hive was not destroyed. Kali returns to her nest and begins commanding the lust demons to collect more blood sacrifices and thus the lust demons begin to kidnap the nearby villagers near Sunrise Peak.

Unbeknownst to Kali, Van and Miho had already secretly sneaked in, playing dead. One of the lust demons brings the body of Van, which please Kali. She rips off his head and begins to drink his blood. However, suddenly the it transforms into that of a lust demon as Van had cast an illusion spell. Van appears upside down on the roof of the cave and casts one of his spells, exploding the head, angering Kali. Kali charges at him but misses and orders the lust demons to attack him. Van easily cuts through them and castes spells to explode them. As they fight, a talisman appears and Miho charges at it. Miho grabs onto the talisman, however, the volcano still erupts. Kali blasts through the cave to where Van is. However, Van is visibly confident as he knows Kali cannot keep rebirthing over and over again. Van clasps his fist together to open a portal to summon Shiva. Shiva appears from the tornado and both Shiva and Kali charge up a sphere blast in front of their mouths and blast it at each other causing a huge explosion.

Kali shoots a blast at Van, but Van is unharmed and controlling Shiva, Van slices Kali. Kali tells Van that it is insane to call out Shiva as he is the god of destruction, the wind of destruction, Chakrastra. Kali cries out to Van, asking if he is planning to destroy the world by summoning Shiva. Kali summons all the other beasts demons that Van that had been appearing on Jeju Island, including the Jangsan tiger to attack Van, even the tortoise, but Van easily destroys them all. Van controls Shiva to drive the trident right through Kali. However, Kali begins to expand into a huge pile of flesh sucking in Shiva and Van as she plans to implode with them together.

Just as Van is getting sucked into the blob of flesh, Suki pulls him out. Suki punches Kali and sends it flying. Van wonders how she is still alive and asks her who she is. Suki just tells Van to focus on the enemy ahead and prevent Kali from self-destructing as doing so would cause a surge of power in the land, thus they have to dissipate that power. Van tells Suki that he’ll take care of it and stabs his palm with his vajra and with his own blood, slashes the air, controlling Shiva to slice Kali into little pieces, thus dissipating the explosion.

## Relationships

* Shiva
* Gungtan
* Van
* Miho Won

## Abilities

* Mass-Hallucination - she can create a massive hallucination of the mountain erupting. It fooled everyone, even Johan and maybe Van. Furthermore, the illusion also affected animals as horses were seen escaping the eruption.
* Earth-Binding Talisman - the Talisman that Gungtan used when summoning Kali, apparently, it enables Kali to recover from damage and be semi-immortal. It was located in the nest in Sunrise Peak. However, after Miho destroyed it, Kali was no longer able to rebirth and Van was able to defeat her eventually.
* Disruption of Electronics - According to Johan, Kali's spiritual aura was strong enough to create a field that would disrupt electronics, causing no electronics to capture the hallucination

## Trivia

* Kali is of course a direct reference to the actual Hindu goddess, "**Kali**," known as the goddess of ultimate power, time, destruction and change in Shaktism.
* With the appearance of Shiva and Kali and the mention of the 33 heavens, it seems that gods of various religions exist in the Super String Universe but not fully true to real life.
