"The stabilization of your soul had been a success…"

The voice of the world spoke to Chaos.

It seems that thanks to her ability to infuse energy into him and slowly make him adapt into the cosmic energy, which he had already assimilated into his own power, Chaos had been able to acquire a greater power.

And thanks to that, his stats were constantly increasing until they finally reached the current cap in power, the cosmic energy had stabilized and seemed serene within his soul, like a calm sea.

The enormous ocean of stars and nebulas within his soul was still there, but it now seemed calmer, and had yet to go crazy once more by gaining more cosmic energy.

The Universal Seed that was inside of his soul was now silently resting inside of Chaos Soul, and might slowly grow some more over time.

Chaos knew that what it required to grow bigger was an enormously powerful and rich quantity of energy equal to the world source energy or higher.

Due to this, divine power or mana alone won't do it, he would need something as rich… However, he had considered that for now, this growth was more than better, and that he was satisfied with such growth for the moment.

The amazing powers of the world's core were great, but he thought that the planet might not be able to supply him with such energies all the time, and as of now it seemed that it had reached the limits of how much it could share with him for the moment.

"I see, I've seen my stats, they increased a bit more… I am in debt with your generosity, planet… I guess I might give it another shot to try to defeat Valen and probably end his empire here… However, I must prepare well before that." Said Chaos.

"I understand and I will help you as much as I can so you can reach that stage where you can fight that Vampire, Chaos…" she said.

Chaos found out the planet being a very polite woman that was also rather motherly, although at other times she sounded like an old lady, why was this?

"Why does your voice shifts around sometimes?" asked Chaos.

"Oh, this is because I am… Well… I am made of many minds…" she said.

"Is that so? I thought it was because you were tired." Said Chaos.

"That as well." Said the planet.

"Oh… Well, we can know each other better over time… I had thought, can you give me more energy or is this your limit? I apolgozie if I found greedy, that's not my intention." Said Chaos.

"Ah… Don't worry… And well, if I give you more, I will weaken too much I might fall unconscious. The more energy I lose… the hollower I grow…" she sighed.

Chaos gritted his teeth, this new friend he had made was already near her death, if he didn't do something soon, she might die…

"How long until you die?" asked Chaos.

"Perhaps… a few months at most, but Valen… this man doesn't even know it, he doesn't even want to… communicate with me… he probably doesn't care about me… or either he doesn't know a planet can die if they… extract their energy too much…" sighed the planet's voice.

"A few months is more than enough… We'll at most take a week… Inside of this place, time goes faster so even if we spend a long time here, it will be not so much outside, you don't have to fear, I will try to find a way to help you." Said Chaos.

"You're so honest and nice… Thanks… I think I have underestimated you… You're indeed… a very kindhearted person…" she said.

"Not really, but you helped me heal back to almost full, I own you a great debt, I will repay it." said Chaos.

"Then… I suppose it is a mutual benefit proposal." She said.

"Something like that…" said Chaos.

Chaos began to inspect his soul and his divine realm. The divine realm had changed now, and the entire ground and all of it had turned into a moon-sized planetoid floating in the middle of a vast small cosmos with little specks of light resembling stars everywhere, asteroids, and even small nebulas.

Even the nature of his own Divine Realm had changed when he absorbed cosmic energy, and it now gained such a beautiful appearance, it was as if he had a pocket universe inside of his very soul.

Perhaps with such a gigantic sized divine realm, he might be able to place entire planets inside someday, it would certainly be interesting. Or so he thought.

"Can I regain cosmic energy in other ways?" he wondered.

"You automatically produce it through the Universal Seed inside your soul. But it takes some time to fully recover were you exhaust it. But there are indeed other ways to recover it. You could steal those items where they stored my stolen world energy, or you could also absorb the cosmic cores inside cosmic beasts, those also can grant cosmic energy in smaller quantities." Said the world's voice.

"Interesting… So I could had hunted more of those… I already ate their cosmic cores before I could use the energy, so it was pretty much wasted… Well, this is a bit of a pity but there's nothing that can be done…" he sighed.

"Indeed. How about you go met your allies now…? They must be worried… I will later tell you about… the areas where the dark fragments are, and where the one you were chasing is going…" said the world's voice.

Chaos eyes shone brightly with interest and sharpness, he immediately realized she was talking about the Forbidden One's Fragments and more, and he grew more interested in such an information.

"I will appreciate such information greatly, thank you very much for helping me over in such trying times." Said Chaos.

"No worries… Now go, I will go rest for the moment…" said the world's voice, quickly disappearing.
