Chapter 439 - Rescue 2

-----

Chaos looked at Nesephise for the first time this close, he was not noticed at first at the same time as Cthully, Lancelot, Tristan, and Aruliel. In fact, he felt it was a bit weird, but Nesephise was only fixated on Abyss, it was her friend after all, someone that ended growing a lot inside of her and the tow had strangely become very close. Chaos was not used to seeing Abyss being so close with someone, especially compared to everybody else, but he quickly realized that she had grown as a person, and had now forged friendship with someone of this planet. He finally realized why she fought so much for her and the Saphibians, and why she changed her perspective of people and lives like his other servants did.

Before, she was often cold against others than Chaos, but now, she had become very emotional and rather humane, despite being an entity such as Shoggoth, her soul had become more sincere and had stop neglecting her feelings of empathy. After all, Chaos felt the same, he had started this journey not to disregard emotions and become a monster or something, he was simple born as one and he was trying to regain his emotions and what it felt to be a person. The same… was for Abyss.

This wasn't just a journey to grow stronger, nor to simply save his parents, but it was also a journey to learn new things and meet new people. It wasn't an endless grind for power, nor some sort of story where Chaos would simply progressively grow edgier and crueler… Chaos only embraced these facts of him because there was no other way when it came to surviving, he had to be ruthless and cold with his enemies, unforgiving… or else, nothing but pain would come to his life. And this hunger that constantly grew inside of him somehow satiated itself better when he was near those he considered his friends…

Perhaps, this emptiness he felt inside of him wasn't hunger, but the lack of companions and people at his side, and now, as he slowly reinforced his bonds with those he cared for, he felt more satiated, and better with himself… His mind was slowly yet constantly changing, and it could be said to be the same for Abyss. When he was absent, she felt alone, but quickly realized that there were companions at her side all this time. She slowly grew more self-dependent and her mind slowly changed, she gained a greater confidence on herself.

Instead of clinging so much on Chaos and relying on him for everything, she became someone capable of relying in herself… and also trusting others. This was mostly due to their past, being children experimented on wasn't something nice at all, it meant a lot of traumas in their life, Abyss was not able to trust others very easily, and was very clingy to Chaos because of this reason.

Chaos couldn't help but smile for Abyss as he saw her hugging her friend.

"Hello, I am Chaos… Erm, nice to meet you. I am glad we were able to drag you here without troubles, for now it would be better if you went to my divine realm." Said Chaos.

"Huh?! Ah! C-C-Chaos?! You're Abyss… Abyss lover?" Asked Nesephise.

"…Yes." Said Chaos.

"So you were Chaos! The one that she always spoke about!" Said Nesephise, inspecting Chaos and finding him rather handsome.

"…She did?" Asked Chaos curiously.

"She did… She always said how many things you taught to her… Everyone, in fact. They always spoke nicely about you!" Said Nesephise with a cheerful smile.

"…I see." Chaos couldn't help but blush a bit and smile rather happily. "I am happy they think that of me… Erm, for now, how about you do what I told you?"

"O-Oh… Wait… No! I can't…" Said Nesephise, her personality suddenly changed.

"Eh? Nesephise, what's wrong?" Asked Abyss.

"It's just… They have the egg, without the egg we won't-"

"This egg?" Asked Abyss, showing the big egg of the Swamp Titan. Nesephise's eyes opened wide in shock.

"WHAT?! HOW?!" Asked Nesephise.

"I have the power of manipulating space… After training for a long time, plus the cosmic energy given to me by my lord, I have become capable of manipulating space, this is how I dragged you here by traveling across the layers of space, hidden from the surface of space… Like swimming through the water, get it? We took the egg first because it was just lying inside a room with some machines on it. Cthully's illusion worked wonderfully alongside our replacement for the egg." Said Abyss.

"S-So it… it is done?! But wait… the slaves! My people… they'll hold them as hostages!" Said Nesephise.

"We resolved that too, we rescued all the slaves from the towers and factories already, this city also had some slaves which we rescued accurately thanks to Abyss second body. The rest of the people didn't deserved to live nor I cared for them, they might had died or not, I don't care about bandits." Said Chaos.

"I-I see… You've resolved everything already… I can't believe it…" Said Nesephise. "You're so dependable!" Nesephise began to cry out of happiness, hugging Abyss again.

"Hahaha, okay, okay, Nesephise, calm down, everything is alright, okay? But we need your help right now, actually… Valen is way too strong." Said Abyss.

"Valen… He killed me after all." Said Chaos.

"Y-You died?!" Asked Nesephise.

"Mostly, I revived myself afterwards." Said Chaos.

"Eeeeh?! I-Incredible, so this is the might of Chaos-sama!" Said Nesephise, she slowly began to become a fervent follower.

"I don't need any praise…" Sighed Chaos. "Nonetheless, Abyss is right, sorry for trying to get you inside my divine realm… Actually, we require your aid, the Swamp Titan, that giant frog… If we bring her the egg and then you can speak to her, we could use her to defeat Valen and free your world…" Said Chaos, filled with confidence about his plan.

"Oh… That's…"
