Chapter 397 - Surprise!

-----

The Forbidden One's Ego had once more revived, this time in an uncharted island where one of the temples harboring several pieces of the forbidden one's fragments were resting! He had absorbed all these pieces and gained unprecedented powers. However, he quickly started to go berserk, losing his own mind, and devouring any monster that emerged, he had thought about this and planned it, but somehow within his mind he felt an incredible hunger, perhaps because he missed a large piece of the ego fragment he used to be, and even when his mind was copy pasted into it, he couldn't completely control all the power of the other fragments yet, and desire more and more biomass.

The fragments of the forbidden one required a host, as they were all parasitic creatures, they could only live within a host even if they were many. However, when it was only just fragments together with a single core that was another stronger fragment capable of controlling other fragments, their structure wasn't completely strong enough to sustain themselves, and required to devour many living beings to stockpile energy they were unable to produce by themselves completely, accumulating energy and biomass to continue living and thriving…

This was why the enormous abomination that surged out of this island began to devour everything angrily, although he still was thinking he held control over his own body, he was progressively becoming worse, and he was certainly not the same intelligent and composed Fragment of the Forbidden One's Ego, as the original one had died and the clones were unable to contain so much power and information and work as actual cores yet. This was why he was attempting to accumulate as much energy as possible by devouring and assimilating biomass… but this only made him go even more berserk, each time he predated and devoured monsters, he inherited their savage behaviors, becoming more of a berserk aberration than anything.

However, he still had a plan within all of his berserk-like state and continued moving forward into the coast of the island, where it would begin to swim into the other place where his other clone was located, where it would be holding the other pieces of the forbidden one, the plan was simple, even the berserk Forbidden One's Ego Fragment clone could fulfill it. And that plan was to unify with the other clone!

"Unify… Mergeeee…" The monstrous being roared, slowly moving towards the coast and about to jump into the ocean to swim towards the other part of himself, in hopes to regain some more intelligence by doing so.

The Forbidden One had thought that Chaos and Abyss were all the problems he had to take care of, but he was completely wrong, there was more, way more than he thought there would be, Chaos and Abyss were certainly not the only ones he would fight, and the moment he reached the beaches, he finally found out that he was completely wrong. Three figures greeted his sight in that moment, floating in the skies.

A pale-white girl with long silvery-white hair and feathered wings. Half of her hair was slightly turning black and purple, while her other wing was pitch black, and across her body there were small crystal-like growths of black color resembling horns with decorated rings of purple color around them, one of her eyes instead of being gold was completely red and eerie, with black-colored veins surrounding it.

The second figure was an enormous skull, yes, a floating skull of over two meters of height covered in phantasmal red and orange flames floating in the middle of the air, his empty eye sockets glowed with bright red light, and he seemed ready to slaughter… despite his eerie presence, he was a fairly gentle butler to his master, but outside, he was a ruthless monster.

And lastly, there was a woman with long red hair, pale as porcelain skin, a slender and beautiful figure, and a size that almost reached 190 centimeters, wearing tight black leather clothes covered in belts carrying all sorts of small weapons used for torture and fighting from long distances and through sneaky ways. Her long black leather boots made her look both intimidating and sexy, and her deep red eyes only added the deadly look…

"Who… are you?!" Roared the Forbidden One's Ego as he looked back at the trio angrily his monstrous presence only grew stronger as he realized that these were big threats, their presences… he could barely sense them, but when he did, he quickly realized all three of them had strange energies within them, one of such energies included cosmic energy, the energies that composed the universe and even planets, stars, and galaxies!

"We are here to pick you up, friend." Said Natalia.

"It seems that my lord as right for worrying, he sent us here and there it is, another living fragment with even the ability to speak!" Said Belphegor. "This most likely means that he is a clone of the Forbidden One's Ego, just as he just told us through telepathy!"

"Indeed, he is! It was about time for some payback from me, buddy." Said Aruliel. "I-I am not the same as before, by the way! I have changed enough and I will show you!"

The trio spoke intimidating words, although they didn't sounded as intimidating, and wouldn't sound intimidating at all if it wasn't because of the enormous quantities of energies surging from their bodies in waves of aura that seemed overwhelmingly large.

"Did that bastard sent you?! …Damn it!" The Forbidden One's Ego roared in anger, as he quickly attempted to escape! He quickly pointed out three giant red-colored eyes across his body to the trio and unleashed powerful laser beams, and then, he attempted to escape and jump into the sea!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

However, Belphegor intercepted all three of the beams by generating a powerful barrier with his phantasmal flames, which now had a cosmic shine to them, giving them a new transcendental strength and even grater endurance when conjuring defense spells such as these, easily blocking the attacks!
