Chapter 394 - The Fragments

-----

The Forbidden One's Ego had divided himself into two more smaller forms before even finding the temple in the south pole of the planet of Amphibi, these two smaller versions of him were made up of mostly a small fragment of the Forbidden One's named "Venom Secretion Glands" and "Slime Secretion Glands" forming two small-sized black slimes with the capacity to move incredibly fast, and that also were venomous, so any bigger monster that could eat them would end up getting attacked by the venom and die instead, a very good strategy that the Forbidden One's Ego had only taken a few seconds to figure out.

The Forbidden One's Ego was obsessed with the task of becoming whole once more, therefore he had to do anything within his total capabilities to achieve this goal in specific, and that also meant having to do things that surpassed even his own capabilities sometimes. He had sacrificed a greater part of his own strength and divided himself thinking that he would be able to reach the other temples quite possibly in time eventually, so he let these two fragments to move out of his range and directly towards the other two temples where his fragments were sealed, his plan was simple and seemed mildly flawless, he merely wanted to reach the other fragments eventually.

However, he wanted to do it faster, and because of that, he had to infuse even more of his power into these two small slimes, enough so they would have sufficient "fuel" to reach the areas where they should be able to find the temples and then absorb the fragments sealed there, that would then make these two small fragment clones into true amalgamations of his same level of power if not even higher, increasing the amazing total capabilities of what he could achieve. After that, he would simply have to regroup with these fragments and fuse together with them to regain most of the power that he once had before being divided into four pieces by the giant frog and the saint and then sealed in these four different temples!

Of course, he had originally landed in this planet by falling over its surface eons ago, he had fallen as an enormous meteor who had traveled far and wide across the entire universe until reaching this place, an amalgamation of many smaller fragments that unlike the others had a "brain" and an "ego" making it an incredibly powerful entity. He had fallen over the planet's surface and generated a cataclysmic incident that caused an enormous tremor that spread across the entire land, destroying anything it could find on its path and massacring the life, the giant frogs that were once the parents of the giant frog mother were killed back then, and only the smallest of their children survived, her.

Over the eons she grew up and fought against the many abominations spread across the entire land, these abominations were made by the contamination spread by the Forbidden One's amalgamation that contaminated the world's seas, filling it with his deadly miasma. Fighting such abominations made her powerful, and ultimately, the planet itself showed consciousness, choosing one of the tormented people by the invader and turning her into a Saint.

This Saint was given the power to speak to all amphibians in this world and also the power of the Frog Totem, giving her incredible divine spirit powers that helped her at purifying the contaminated seas and also become an ally with the giant frog. With her help, the Saint defeated the monstrous amalgamation, which back then was recovering energies by absorbing the energy of the planet itself. She cut him into several pieces and each piece was sealed, as she did not knew of ways to actually kill these fragments, that seemed to be able to grow weaker, but never actually die, showing near-immortality in that regard.

And since then he had been waiting and waiting until he was finally freed by the unknown hands of Chaos, which all came to this very moment, he divided into two smaller pieces of himself and spread them across the frozen lands, the two pieces reached the oceans and began to swim through, as fast as possible, this is why he infused the power of his energy into them, as much energy as they could take, so they would always have and be incredibly fast, becoming powerfully efficient.

However, this ended in the weakening of the Forbidden One's Ego main body, who ended being so weak that even after absorbing the fragments, he felt dizzy and his body was slowly diving itself, although later on Chaos came to finish him off, taking advantage of his exhaustion to finally kill him and devour him.

The two other fragments felt this happening, as they reached their respective temples already. Within the west of the planet, the small black slime-like fragment moved across the grasslands, reaching a place with a lot of trees and animals, it felt curious about where it was and what it was doing, but the commands of its original body were everything, until it suddenly felt that it died.

"…!"

The slime felt fearful out of nowhere, the brain they had died out at the end, so how could they control their own thoughts and emotions anymore? The very base of their thoughts and mission was that the Forbidden One's Ego was controlling them from afar.

Well… there was a reason why they simply didn't died off though.

"Hahh… I… I am alive?!" muttered the black slime, as a perfect copy of the mind of the Forbidden One's Ego main body was suddenly sent to this little body, and he literally revived!

"That bastard… he ate me and killed me… I still remember that… Ungh…! Ah, I am already here?!"

The Forbidden One's Ego looked up through his new little body, realizing there was an enormous temple in the middle of the wet jungles where he found himself in. This enormous temple was ready to be plundered! He quickly moved forward, breaking apart the gate and entering to reclaim what's his…
