Within the confines of Chaos soul, there was something more than just eternal darkness.
A small, little thing.
It was so small one could call it a grain of rice.
But even a grain of rice could become a big plant if it grew.
And this grain… it was a small gift given to him by the Universal Core some time ago.
It was given to him for a reason, a souvenir, perhaps.
But not really. It was given to him because the universal core saw in Chaos "the perfect vessel" for it.
It said that he was the one "most fitting" to hold such a thing as a Universal Seed.
But why?
Well, Chaos had not been able to participate in such a conversation, so he couldn't heard any of the reasons and more.
The Universal Core had mysterious motives for most things… but this gift wasn't something that would negatively affect Chaos.
But she certainly had some sort of plan with him, and this Universal Seed planted inside his Soul was something that related to him being called "the key" by her.
The world of Amphibi had revealed to Chaos that it was a sentient being while he fell unconscious, and through its mysterious powers, it detected within him this endless potential.
The world used its energy and infused it into Chaos slightly, even if it were a bit more, he would even die due to the immense amount of power it would give, which would make his body and soul explode.
However, by infusing very small quantities, as thin as threads, and directing them all into the depths of his soul, the Universal Seed was finally found.
The threads of world's energy reached the seed, infusing it with this wondrously rich energy.
FLASH!
The seed suddenly gained some life to it, as it seemed dried and in a slumber.
But now, it continued to gain more and more energy from the planet itself.
FLASH!
Another flash of light came out, as the seed suddenly began to glow with bright yellow-gold light.
And then, countless sparks of light came out of it, all rushing around constantly, like exploding star lights that constantly filled the darkness around with beautiful cosmic light.
Chaos felt the changes as the pain reseeded, and what was left was a wondrous feeling as if his own interior was expanding into something else…
The seed dug into Chaos' own darkness as if it were rich soil, and it slowly began to be poured with a bit more of world energy.
At the same time, the seed began to react to it.
A small crack appeared on it, as it suddenly opened a small little branch, which resurfaced into the darkness…
Chaos entire senses were suddenly enhanced by this event, as he felt the small branch of the Universal Seed slowly spread a starlight aura all around.
It had only managed to grow just as big as this little thing, but that was more than enough to suddenly enhance Chaos soul and body.
FLASH!
Chaos suddenly woke up as he felt his entire body glowing brightly.
He found himself inside a small dungeon room resting over a bed.
But his fleshy and meatball-like body began to change, slowly being covered by a cosmic aura that began to slowly stretch him around.
This Cosmic Aura filled all the spaces missing, and using Chaos memories, it shaped him back to his original humanoid form!
"Amazing…"
Chaos couldn't help but feel incredibly amazed by this! The small Universal Seed contained such power that it even helped him regrow back to his original humanoid form through the infusion of such a beautiful cosmic energy!
But that didn't seem to be enough, Chaos felt within the depths of his soul that the cosmic aura continued to spread, mixing with the chaos and miasma inside of his soul and fusing with all of it, endlessly spiraling around into a wondrous spectacle.
In mere seconds Chaos felt as if his entire body evolved! He felt as if he was truly evolving now, and so did his soul! His soul regrew back a lot of what it was missing after the battle against Valen, and so did his biomass, the amazing Cosmic Energy filled the gaps and made him feel whole again.
Perhaps not as much as before, but with this energy… he could probably regain his powers quicker.
And even more, on his own chest, he felt something gathering within it!
FLASH!
"This is…"
The crystallization of the cosmic energy!
The energy emanated by the Universal Core, Cosmic Energy, crystalized at long last within Chaos' chest.
Alongside that, it also fused the World Source Energy that the planet of Amphibi was adding to Chaos soul, and then…
FLASH!
All this energy crystalized into a beautiful clear blue crystal that emerged within Chaos chest, inside of it.
It glowed so brightly that the aura it emanated seemed to encompass it all…
It was a wondrous sight like nothing else there has been, surprising Chaos tremendously.
It wasn't just the power of Chaos anymore, there was a Cosmic power within it all…
And the power of Blood and Chaos within him were slowly rotating around the core, infusing themselves into the new jewel that Chaos had formed.
The Universal Origin Records quickly reported to Chaos through special System windows that something was happening. Chaos' eyes opened wide as he realized that the things that had changed were not simply superficial anymore.
Ding!
[You have formed a [Cosmic Core: Blood and Chaos]!]
[You gained the secondary Race: [Young Universal Seed]!]
[All your Stats have increased!]
[You learned the [Cosmic Magic: Level 1] Ability!]
[You learned the [Cosmic Embodiment: Level 1] Ability!]
[You learned the [Stargazing Eyes: Level 1] Ability!]
So many new Abilities!
Chaos had learned three new Abilities right off the bat, and they seemed mysteriously powerful as well.
It was all thanks to the world's voice, which had helped him in awakening this hidden power within him.
Now, he felt indebted, and he felt like he had to repay such a good favor.
However, was he strong enough yet?
"I can… guide you… there are places where… those dark entities reside… Do you desire to… devour them?"
