Chapter 441 - Confronting Valen

-----

Nesephise was quickly rescued by Abyss and Chaos, as she was asked to do something. She had to use her powers and the egg… to talk to the Swamp Titan, the giant frog, and ask her for her aid in beating Valen and quite possibly taking back the entire planet from these invaders.

"Something so risky… I don't know if she'll trust me anymore…" Sighed Nesephise.

"If we give her the egg again, it should be possible." Said Abyss. "Let's trust her, she's not a bad monster after all, even though she ate… my beloved Chaos! …She's still someone that protected the world back then, or something, right?"

Abyss said some words that enlightened Nesephise, as the Saphibian girl admiration for Abyss couldn't help but grow bigger with each passing second.

"You're right… I'll try!" Said Nesephise. "But the people held hostage… And those that the bastard of Silver killed…"

"Don't worry, my allies will take care of them, for now, we must-"

Before Chaos could finish his words, a sudden tremor happened… in space itself.

TRUUUUUUUMMMM…!

It felt as if an incredibly strong force hit the entire space that Abyss had created!

"What was that?!" Asked Nesephise. Abyss quickly looked outside, finding Valen from all people hitting her space, and actually beginning to shatter it! The power of a being within the Great God-Realm was simply superb.

"Whoever you are… Come outside and confront me." Said Valen with a terrifying voice, his entire aura emanated a powerful bloody aura like Chaos had seen before, but perhaps even stronger and furious than before.

Chaos swallowed some saliva, for the first time in his life, he began to feel a slight sense of fear. Recalling his fight against Valen and how he lost so miserably, it changed him. It made Chaos become more aware of his own capabilities, and the overwhelming strength that a foe could have.

A sense of awareness like never before emerged within his heart, as he began to realize that fear was… something useful. Feeling fear was not a bad thing, it meant that you were aware of your own weakness, and that you didn't underestimated your foe. It was a sense of crisis that augmented all your senses as well. Chaos knew this well, he felt cold sweat covering his neck, and even his face.

Valen was an obstacle he had to overcome.

A powerful being with incredible capabilities that easily defeated him even when he went all out, a wall he had to climb and get over the other side of the road… He had to surpass him. He wanted to use the help of the Swamp Titan for that, but something within the depths of his heart was calling him to defeat Valen alone.

Of course, that was just his pride. And it was something he was aware was a bad thing, he was sure he wouldn't be able to revive again if he died by Valen's hands once more… Valen would make sure that he killed him.

So, despite his desire to overcome him alone, he had to use the help of those around him, his friends… But would he be able to truly overcome this?

"I need some of you to bring Nesephise back to the Swamp Titan, for convenience's sake, it has to be Abyss." Said Chaos.

"What?! But I want to help as well!" Said Abyss.

"You already have another clone helping everyone, you're not at your full strength… You'll die." Said Chaos with a serious expression on his face, Abyss quickly realized he was being serious and that he had already calculated everything.

"…Alright. I trust you! I'll come with my full body after merging with my other two clones, so wait for me!" Said Abyss. "Let's go, Nesephise!"

"O-Okay, please, take care!" Said Nesephise.

"Don't worry, I am not alone." Said Chaos. Lancelot, Tristan, Cthully, and Aruliel were at his side after all.

FLASH!

Abyss quickly generated another pocket space and brought Nesephise with her, flying away. Meanwhile, the pocket space where everyone else was with Chaos, began to slowly crack and shatter apart by the might of Valen's fists.

"Chaos! I know you're there… This presence must be you!" Valen's voice resonated across the cracks within the dimension, as Valen finally punched it once more with all his strength, cracking it open and creating a small rift that led inside.

He quickly stepped inside at full speed, only to find… tentacles and eyes looking down on him!

"W-What the?!"

"Mind Destruction." Cthully's lips moved sexily as she spoke, conjuring her most powerful Psionic Technique, a tremendously strong wave of transparent psionic energy hit the head of Valen, as his entire mind was brought into shambles!

FLUOOOSSSHHH!

"Unnggh… AAAGGGGH!"

Valen was completely surprised, he didn't expected a sudden appearance of a being as strong as  Mindflayer at the God-Realm being able to hit him so directly! His mind began to tear apart as a sharp pain ran through all his head all the way down to his spine.

"Now!"

Suddenly, two valiant knights covered in lightning and fire emerged, pointing their powerful spears at Valen and unleashing a combined technique they had been practicing for months, all for this moment!

"W-What the?!" Valen was incapable of reacting in time not only due to the enormous agony on his head, but also because he felt chains restricting his movements! "When did these chains?!" He muttered, as he realized these chains were not only restricting his movements but burning through his body horribly, as they were made of nothing else than heaven energy, the power of angels!

"(He was too strong and wary, if it wasn't because of Cthully's help, I wouldn't had been able to use my Chains of Judgement…)" Thought Aruliel. The Chains of Judgement were a powerful Heaven Magic Spell, the more sins a target has committed, the stronger the restraints would be, but it only had a time limit of a few seconds at the sage in which Aruliel was, as she was very weakened compared to other angels.

"Dual Lightning Fire Spear Attack!"

CLAAAAASSSSSHHH!!!
