The Forbidden One's Ego had survived Chaos tremendous attack! Chaos had gathered a large quantity of cosmic energy and chaos energy, spending a good chunk of his cosmic energy reserves for that one hit, which left an enormous crater in the icy crust of this frozen continent, only to end on the Forbidden One's Ego surviving as he had suddenly managed to fuse with the other fragments! Chaos was a bit too late at the end, but was he willing to pull back now that he was here? Of course not, Chaos was a relentless hunter, and he wouldn't rest until he could finally defeat and devour this amalgamation of fragments.
CRAAASH!
From the depths of the continental crust, a massive amount of darkness exploded and moved upwards, as several grotesque tentacles and insect-like arms emerged one after the other…!
"That was very close…!" He roared. "You almost killed me there! Gahahaha!"
The voice of the Forbidden One's Ego resonated around the entire place, as Chaos squinted his eyes and looked at the entity furiously. Although he looked calm and expressionless, his eyes had a faint sharpness that easily showcased how angered he was feeling. This being had escaped from his grasp in the last moment, and since then that he had been blaming himself for that, but now that he could finally have him on his grasp, he wasn't going to let him escape.
Chaos decided to quickly confront the Forbidden One's Ego with Abyss at his side, the Forbidden One's Ego looked at the two while wondering where that weird Angel girl was, but there was no other presences than these two, who were already incredibly strong by themselves, over this time they spent training the amount of power they exuded from their bodies have been greatly enhanced, and now the two exuded tremendous auras mixed with their main elements and cosmic energy, as if two nebulas were coming out of their bodies.
The Forbidden One's Ego also noticed how Chaos had grown stronger now, way stronger than before. Although the Forbidden One's Ego didn't knew that Chaos died, so he didn't knew that he had been severely weakened before but slowly regained his powers and then surpassed his original self in that time he died, because if he were to know, he would freak out even more than now and would perhaps find this entire thing ridiculous! Chaos growth had always been incredibly fast, but if he were to know that some time ago, he was so weakened he could had easily crushed him, he would had attempted to chase him to the ends of the world!
Nonetheless, despite these new variables and the strengthening of Chaos power, the Forbidden One's Ego knew that he still had a greater advantage and power! He had just devoured a large quantity of his own fragments stuck together in a lump which was sealed inside those ruins that were now destroyed. Each time the Forbidden One's Ego absorbed a fragment of himself, he would grow stronger and regain part of his old memories, and now that he absorbed and fused himself with several fragments of himself, he had regained an insane amount of power and was not the same, definitely!
The enormous mass of darkness that erupted from the ice crust resembled more like a sea of pure darkness, spreading everywhere and gaining countless tentacles, as red-colored metallic bird-like beaks emerged one after the other across the entire mass of dark ooze, alongside sharp claws, arms covered in exoskeleton, and crimson-red eyes. This entity didn't looked at all like the Forbidden One's Ego from before, he had completely changed and now resembled more like a mass of pure darkness! Chaos knew that this form was his "true" form, which he could unleash after finally gaining enough power back. He had seen such a grotesque form in the memories he watched through the dream he was trapped in and remembered such an appearance when the Forbidden One was being cornered, he would unleash such a form to fight his enemies with everything he had… it was actually a last resort, but he was showing it off in her perhaps to intimidate the two.
But Chaos and Abyss were just as grotesque if they showed their "truest" of forms, however. The Forbidden One's Ego didn't knew about this, and the Forbidden One's Ego would probably not know even when he fought Chaos because Chaos never showed him such a form due to fighting in a tight space, where most of his powers were also being negated by the enormous strength of the Forbidden One's Ego… Nonetheless, Chaos had to thank this entity, it was thanks to him that he had grown through such a battle and realized that there was also a long way to go, which was later on reinforced when he was defeated by Valen and almost killed by him.
"You're not escaping now, you heard me?" Asked Chaos. "You're already within my grasp, and today is the day you'll become my dinner."
"Huh?!" Muttered the Forbidden One's Ego, suddenly feeling an enormous sense of dread!
Death! It felt as if death itself was embracing him on her cold embrace, and he felt a chill run through every inch of his abominable body! How could it be possible for an entity this strong to feel so much fear against a being such as Chaos? An entity such as the Forbidden One's Ego, who has the memories of his original form, a being capable of devouring entire galaxies like nothing… he was fearing Chaos?!
"What… kind of being is he?!" Thought the Forbidden One's Ego. "He's completely different from back then! And that enormous and insane quantity of Cosmic Energy flowing through him… That's not normal either… What has he become now?! There's no way he has reached the Realm above Supreme Deities yet, so why does he has Cosmic Energy within his body and is able to control it so masterfully too?!"
The Forbidden One's Ego was completely puzzled!
