All the Cursed Claws of Demise that Chaos conjured and used to grasp Ernesticia's entire body suddenly detonated! Their explosions unleashed enormous quantities of force, spreading through the area like shockwaves!

Flames made of chaos and demise spread around the skies, so strong that even the goddess of space was impacted by them. Her spatial cube was fragmented into pieces easily, shattering away as she was inflicted by sever burns over her entire body!

The chaos and demise spread across her small body as they began to consume her energy and distort her aura of divinity!

"Uuuuaagggh…!"

Ernesticia screamed in agony as she tried to run away from Chaos, but Chaos reached up to her and with a strong kick, he threw her down into the water!

BOOOOMMM!!!

"Gyyyyaaaaahhh…!"

SPLAAASH!

Another down!

Chaos looked at the last battler in the skies, Silver!

Silver's face was distorting out of pure rage! He looked at Chaos with utter anger as he couldn't believe this dragon vampire chimera had done such a thing against his three lackeys! All his plans suddenly began to shatter before the power… the true might of someone strong enough to handle them all!

This man had showed up out of absolutely nowhere after all, he couldn't even predict nor see through him at all, he didn't even knew he had come out of the frog's stomach!

Chaos had grown plenty strong inside that stomach, after the several battles and trials he underwent, even though his cultivation by itself had not risen, he had gained a greater control over his overall capabilities and had become admirably stronger.

By being able to manipulate his powers more properly, he was able to generate even stronger attacks and abilities than ever before, which used his true powers to their best way possible.

It was as if he had attained a greater comprehension over his own body, skills, abilities, magic, divinities, and more.

His movements were more precise, the expenditure of energies became lesser, he didn't wasted as much Mana pointlessly while trying to form attacks that could not properly maintain themselves for too long… It all had changed for the best.

Silver pointed his enormous cannon at Chaos, firing a massive beam!

TRUUUMMM…!

Chaos quickly detected it, evading the beam reaching up to him and flying upwards, reaching Silver and kicking him down!

CLAAAASH!

"Uuuaaaggh?! Y-You bastard!" cried Silver in awe, as he moved his hands and his entire body suddenly began to shapeshift, countless long mechanical arms tried to grab Chaos, attempting to pierce his body or slash him down!

SLASH! CLASH! BOOM!

The fast movements that Silver unleashed were rather strong, but Chaos wasn't letting him easily go on, he quickly moved backwards and swung his hands strongly, as if they were two blades, abusing the power of his Divinity of Blades, he sliced through his mechanical arms easily!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

"Aghhh…!"

Silver groaned as he gritted his teeth, glaring angrily at Chaos as he swung his cannon and pointed it out at him, once more overcharging it with energy!

TRUUUUMMM…!

Chaos couldn't evade in time as he was impacted by the attack directly!

BOOM!!!

Chaos, however, seemed unfazed, gritting his teeth he blocked the attack with his mere arms, which he had covered in several layers of chitinous armor he generated using the fragments of the Forbidden One, and various other Skills related to scales and exoskeleton generation.

Even more, he had come out with a great Technique as he was resisting the blow!

He suddenly gathered his knowledge with magic and his skills, as his armor around his arms suddenly shone brightly as if it turned like a mirror, the transparency it held was brilliant! With it, he suddenly managed to fuse Light Magic with Earth Magic, generating mirrors, and the mirrors themselves suddenly reflected the light, the massive beam went back to Silver!

"W-Whaaaat?!"

Silver was left shocked as Chaos sent back his attack, hitting him strongly over his face and chest, and pushing him down with a strong beam!

BOOOM!!!

CRASH!

His cannon quickly broke apart into pieces, as Chaos emerged like a flash of black lightning at the side of Silver, with his expreionless face, as if Silver was merely nothing compared to him, a mere ant!

The scheming and ambitious cyborg couldn't resist to hate such a face! How dare he look down on him, on all his efforts, on all his smarts! In everything!

"Youuuu…!"

Silver roared in pure wrath, as he generated several blades and fired them at Chaos!

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The blades were of no threat against Chaos' amazing capabilities, he easily intercepted them with his own aura blades made out of his divinities combined together and wrapped in chaos and demise energies.

The blades exploded into dust as they impacted his hands, they couldn't even pierce through Chaos!

Silver grew more and more restless! He didn't knew what to do, and couldn't believe Chaos could be this powerful!

He flew away as he continued to fire projectiles at Chaos to distract him, he quickly reached the egg and the girl, Nesephise, alongside the frog who was protecting the two.

"Y-You fucking frog! Do something! Attack him! MOVE!" roared Silver, but the frog seemed expressionless.

Chaos reached up to him at a fast speed, suddenly attempting to hit him with a strong punch!

However!

"S-Stop right there! If you take a step closer, I'll kill the egg and this girl!" said Silver.

Silver thought that Chaos was friends with Abyss and those that escaped, who all were worried about Nesephise and the egg to the point of risking their lives, so he assumed that he would be just as worried about them as they were.

But Chaos looked at him expressionlessly…

"So?" asked Chaos.

"S-So…! Eh?" asked Silver.

"I don't care." Said Chaos.

"W-What? Aren't they your friends?!" asked Chaos.

"No. The only one you'll enrage is the frog here. If you destroy her egg, you're as good as dead." Said Chaos.

"Unngh…!" muttered Silver as he looked at Chaos…

Chaos wasn't normal at all.

Silver couldn't easily trick him with stupid things like these!

-----

"But if the egg is destroyed, you'll also be targeted!" said Silver, smiling like an insane man, he had gone completely mad!

"I am sure I can escape in time." Said Chaos.

"Y-You… Then why did you stopped attacking me?" asked Silver.

"I didn't." said Chaos.

Silver suddenly looked at Chaos strangely.

Had Chaos gone mad? What was wrong with him?

Why was he talking nonsense?

He clearly stopped walking and began to talk with him.

He was engaging in a conversation and therefore he was worried about the girl and the egg!

Right?

So why?

Why was he… not acting then?

He clearly said he had not stopped acting, but he was there, looking at him expressionlessly.

"Say… again?" asked Silver.

"I haven't stopped fighting, you're already about to die." Said Chaos.

"Y-You're joking!" laughed Silver.

"Look closer to your chest." Said Chaos.

"Huh?!"

Silver suddenly realized a horror he had not realized before!

His entire chest was pierced and there was a massive hole on here.

Where did that came from and why wasn't he going through any pain?! He didn't even realized he had such a wound!

In fact, that wound wasn't there a few seconds ago!

"W-What… what… what is this…?! What did you do!?"

Silver asked desperately at Chaos.

"I ate you." Said Chaos.

Silver's mind seemed to go completely insane!

What was truly happening?!

Did Chaos just skipped through time or something?

He clearly couldn't see what happened, yet there was now a hole on his chest, and most of his energies were leaking out, his main core was actually destroyed too, and he was maintaining himself purely out of his soul power… his body was breaking down…

He was in the verge of death just as Chaos said he was.

"You… how did… you do… this? Ungh… Aghh…!"

Silver suddenly vomited a mouthful of black blood, the special divine oil that ran through his mechanical body parts mixed with his own blood.

"Why would I explain it to someone that is already dead?" asked Chaos.

Silver then realized that even his soul was damaged.

The pain finally began to reach his senses, it was agonizing, like billions of nails covering his entire body and soul!

But how?

He couldn't help but wonder when… when did Chaos actually attacked him like this?

Never through the entire fight did anything remotely like this happened, his chest and his soul suddenly shoed up with the wounds out of nowhere as he talked with Chaos!

Well, by rewinding time a few seconds in the past, it is clear as water what Chaos did.

He simply used his strange powers.

As he fought against Silver, he had generated new techniques out of the blue one after another, by merely fusing his skills with magic, he could create techniques which could exert new effects by combining existing effects.

If he had such a large pool of skills, why did he had to limit himself to physical blows or magical extravaganza? Why couldn't he go a step beyond that and do something even stranger to win?

And then he came out with an idea.

By merging the powers of the Skills [Parasite], [Parasitic Lifeform], [Parasitic Infection], and [Giant Intestinal Worm's Egg] Skills alongside his own spells, divinities and more, he generated the ability to divide his own body parts and even his soul into tiny parasite eggs.

Each of his blows that clashed against Silver came packed with these tiny eggs, which reached the interior of his wounds and hatched into gross worms that started to devour him from the inside out using the power of All-Devouring.

They were all clones of Chaos after all, and they continued to devour his chest and where his physical body's core was located, while those that were made of soul fragments began to snack on his soul!

The moment Silver realized there were tiny Chaos' eating him from the inside out, he quickly killed them all by covering himself in burning divinity, it was that easy to kill them, but because they were so indetectable beforehand, he had suffered his much before he realized that something like this had happened to him…

"What kind of… powers do you even have…?!" muttered Silver while in the verge of death.

"Powers beyond your comprehension." Said Chaos nonchalantly, as he pointed out his index finger at Silver as a ray of chaotic energy came out of it, shaped as a sword…

"Now, die." Said Chaos.

-----

Several holographic windows emerged before the eyes of a Vampire Lord.

He sat down over his throne while supervising things through.

He saw how Silver accomplished many things, and his allies were about to defeat the group of evildoers messing around with his planet.

A smile had surged on his lips as he saw how competent they all were, he was surely going to reward them nicely with a rise and a great increase in their pay.

Unlike Faringer, his useless nephew, Silver and his group were all competent fighters that were experienced in battle, and had accomplished a great deal of things.

However in the last moments, things began to go strangely wrong.

First the giant tentacle using the power of psionic energy, and then, there was this… being.

Someone infused with many fragments of the Forbidden One.

"Who… is he?"

Valen, the Vampire Lord and Duke of this Planet given to him by his family, had not even detected this entity until now.

His power was incredible, and he overpowered each one of Silver's group members, alongside Silver himself.

In the last moments, he had done something extremely bizarre, eating him from the inside out without Silver even realizing it…

"Hm… This being… it is too strong and dangerous. I cannot let it leisurely go around my planet… This is my property, and you've already trespassed private territory!"

Valen grabbed a teleportation stone and disappeared from his throne room.

FLASH!

And where he went to was… where Chaos and Silver were.

Chaos looked upwards, as he realized there was a new figure atop the skies…

"Who are you?" he asked.
