Chapter 449 - Trickster

-----

"Lord Jakob!" Said Jakob's servants, trying to help their lord, but Jakob suddenly felt strange.

No, it wasn't even a toxin, it was something… alive. Something within that blood suddenly started to devour the interior of his own stomach, and quickly continued to spread around endlessly!

"Ungh… Valen! You bastard… What did you do to the blood?!" Asked Jakob, suddenly feeling as if his energy was slowly being drained away!

"Blood Infection, an ability that allows my flesh and blood to infect another person, like a virus. I used it with your brother, and now I am using it with you. It has become very strong after fusing its power with Blood Reign." Said Valen, as his entire face suddenly shapeshifted into… Chaos!

Of course, Jakob couldn't recognize him, but he immediately realized he had been tricked! Based in the words that Chaos said, he had been given a blood that was somehow infecting his interior?! But for a being as strong as him, some mere infection-based ability wouldn't be of any issue!

"Fool, whoever you are, do you truly believe such a petty trick can work on me? HAH!" Laughed Jakob, pretending to be alright as he infused all sorts of techniques and magic into his body, but nothing worked! The power of this ability was equal to him if not slightly higher, something he couldn't properly treat with mere magic, he had to find some sort of elixir or cure to take down this infection!

"W-Why nothing is working…?!" He muttered, as he suddenly feel down to his knees, Jakob felt utter fear as he realized that his mana, divine energy, and even blood energy was being drained away at an incredible speed!

"After you drank my blood, you already lost." Said Chaos. "I can't believe it worked… I guess you're really like your brother in terms of over confidence." Sighed Chaos expressionlessly, he was acting quite cocky, but also just talking honestly. He had designed this blood using Edward's blood to make it seem authentic, but then he fused a large chunk of his own soul in there, dissolving it into a soul liquid, alongiside his own blood and the mushed flesh and bone dust, all merged together into a deadly concoction.

And because he was very close to him he was able to instantly connect to the small clone formed inside the stomach of Jakob, infusing it with divine energy and mana, and even cosmic energy, so it could work quicker and more efficiently.

Jakob's energies were drained, and he was unable to fight back!

"N-No…! I can't die like this! I don't even know who you are…! What do you want from my family?! You bastard! How can you take the form… of my brother?!" Roared Jakob.

"I ate him." Said Chaos, his words were harsh and cold, as Jakob quickly realized he was next.

"A-Ate him?! Ugh…!" Cried Jakob, feeling his soul being parasitized as well, his energy was draining, and his entire body was being weakened every second. "Y-You're… the monster! The chimera…!" Jakob quickly realized that the chimera had yet to be caught, and that was rumored to be near this planet!

"Chimera? My name is Chaos." Said Chaos coldly, as he walked towards Jakob looked down on him.

"Y-You bastard!!!" Cried Jakob, as he realized his servants were not even helping him, they were standing still, with their mouths wide open and eyes rolling, they were being brainwashed by a mysterious psionic force coming out of Chaos' brain. After all, he had also inherited the powers of Mindflayers, brainwashing and taking total control over a weak target such as those demigods was an easy task.

"Just… how many powers do you have?!" Asked Jakob.

"Not even I know at this point." Said Chaos expressionlessly. His expressionless face really pissed off Jakob, making him have the urge to punch him hardly in the face. The vampire raged and roared, taking out his Soul Weapon.

"SOUL WEAPON! COME OUT, SCARLET!!!"

FLAAAASH!

Suddenly, an enormous, scarlet-colored spear emerged out of the convergence of divine power and blood energy, as Jakob rushed towards Chaos with the last remaining energy he had and attempted to kill him!

"DIE WITH ME, YOU BASTARD!"

"Soul Weapon: Agatha."

"EH?!"

FLASH!

An enormous blade made of blood and chaos emerged within Chaos right hand, as he pointed it at Jakob.

"I have one too."

"I-It can't be…! That's Valen's Soul Weapon! How come… you have it?! You ate him and you got his powers…? What sort of… ability is that?!" Asked Jakob in horror.

"Your Scarlet also looks good, don't worry, I will take care of it every day, and clean the blade whenever I get it stained with blood and guts." Said Chaos rather gently mannered.

"Don't mess around with me!" Cried Jakob, jumping towards Chaos and attacking him with a strong piercing attack using his spear!

CLAAASH!

However, Chaos easily blocked his attack with Agatha, as he overcharged the weapon with his divine power and then jumped towards Jakob.

"…"

In silence and without saying a single word, he slashed Jakob in half, weakened to the verge of death already, he felt both his body and soul be sliced!

"Uuuaaagggh…!"

SLAASH!

His body splattered over the floor, as Chaos hand shapeshifted into an enormous and grotesque draconic head, devouring the remains of Jakob alongiside his soul, and his servants as well along the way. The entire city quickly stopped moving, the spaceships were all Rust, alongiside the buildings, and even this tower itself, all while the people Jakob saw outside were actually "Flesh Puppets" which Boxy created by dividing her fleshy body, to not let Chaos do all the work.

Abyss quickly emerged at the side of Chaos through Spatial Breach, as she sighed in relief, all while Chaos aura continued to grow bigger and stronger, his entire body emanated an aura of both authority and divinity.

"Well, that was done faster than I thought, it all went smoothly!" She said happily.

"Indeed, but we still got his fleet to deal with…" Said Chaos.

"Hm… Oh, I got an idea." Said Abyss.
