Chapter 465 - We Cannot Escape

-----

The strife between the various elven tribes has been part of the history of the Galaxy of Nyx for many eons. The tribes once separated themselves from the original elf tribe into many ones with distinct features. The Light Elves, the Dark Elves, the Moonlight Elves, and the High Spirit Elves had been in battle against one another for many generations.

However, the Light Elves unified with the Spirit Elves against the Dark Elves and Moonlight Elves, overpowering them and enslaving the entire race into servants and hired assassins after the last war.

For some reason, these two elven races have fallen from grace, and have been treated as nothing but slaves ever since then. The cruelty of the light elves and spirit elves seemed to know no bounds, their grudge against this race of people was insane, even more, as the cause of such grudges had all probably died already, but they still hated the innocents that held the same race as those they despised, making up for an incredible case of racism like nothing else in the galaxy.

But of course, things changed when the spirit elf supreme god was born, strong enough to rival other families, the elves finally gained the authority to do this to an even larger scale, punishing the dark and moonlight elves across the entire galaxy and capturing them to be enslaved, or sometimes just killed on sight.

And behind all of this slaughter, a man that has lived for thousands of years stood, the tyrannical Supreme God of Spirits, the uncle of Edward, the older brother of Edward's mother…

Edward explained everything to his lord and his allies, as he seemed rather filled with sorrow and regret. He was saying that he should had never stepped outside from Ginnungagap, and that due to his fault, Chaos was now going to be forced to fight such a powerful enemy and his army.

"I am really sorry, my lord… I don't need any sort of forgiveness from you either… It is all my fault, if I hadn't awakened these divine powers, I wouldn't had become the target of that man…" Sighed Edward.

"…What are you talking about, Edward?" Wondered Chaos.

"Eh?" Asked Edward in surprise, Chaos response was rather strange. He didn't expected Chaos to answer so casually.

"I had already calculated this outcome long before you even revealed this truth to us, don't worry about it." Said Chaos. "You're my ally and friend, I won't let you behind nor I will give you away to be slaughtered by your family…"

"M-My lord…" Muttered Edward, as he felt even more guilty.

"Geez, you're always acting like an idiot, don't you?" Sighed Yuki. "Come on, we are in here together."

"Yeah! Don't be such a drama queen." Said Boxy.

"D-Drama queen?! I am just being honest!" Sighed Edward.

"Relax, Edward, you've not done anything wrong." Said Lilith. "Our lord is being chased down similarly than you, just for having been born, he's already hated by all these powerful beings…It is the same for you, it is nothing different." Said Lilith as she smiled.

"Lilith…" Sighed Edward.

"Indeed, don't worry about it." Said Chaos. "We'll deal with them together… You've grown stronger. I am not blindly thinking about hope, I know we are stronger and we stand a good chance, as long as the Supreme Deities don't confront us directly, we can easily slay their servants to gain more power… I think I am very close to become a Supreme Deity myself, I'll make sure to slay any Great God I find and devour them to grow into a Supreme God quickly, so we can deal with them. See? It is not so complicated."

"A-Ahaha… I-I see… I suppose there is no point in arguing anymore, my lord is… my lord." Said Edward, realizing Chaos was too stubborn and lacked common sense. What made Edward so worried as something "manageable" for Chaos.

Chaos lacked a lot of common sense even now, what he said so casually was incredibly insane, people didn't normally grew so strong so easily after all… Chaos was beyond common sense, and well, everybody else with him too, now that his Universal Tree branches were growing on anyone that had a cosmic core given by him divine realms, everyone was now even more uncommon, generating cosmic energy, something that not even Supreme Gods could even produce easily even less manipulate…

Everyone at this point had more or less mastered its usage, and they used it to boost their skills and magic to completely insane levels of power, the gift that chaos had received from the Universal Core ended becoming his greatest asset and strength, and something that had helped everyone at growing stronger so they could be more useful in the fights.

"For now, I would like to know anything you learned from him." Said Chaos.

"Very well." Said Edward.

Edward quickly decided to tell Chaos anything he knew about the powerful Elves, which included the leader's name, the one that named himself the Spirit King, Raffla Spiritias, and the several knights he had, it seems his mother had used a special technique named Memory Bloodline to insert knowledge and memories into the bloodline of Edward, whenever he were to awaken his bloodline powers, he would receive this info, which shocked him a lot.

"I see, so the spirit elves are masters of most of the common elements, which they employ by summoning divine spirits, like you did? I see, so they're not so hard to deal with…" Said Chaos. "The King will be hard even if I become a Supreme God though… I wonder if I could stand a chance. Maybe I'll have to use others to weaken him. Manipulating the Mindflayers semes very easy." Said Chaos, as he began to plan something out in the moment, surprising everyone.

"Well… This is why I said it was going to be too terrible…" Sighed Edward. "Perhaps we should escape this Star System, seek more strength, and then come back when we are ready?" Wondered Edward.

"No, that's impossible, if we escape, we'll only be chased until they find us and kill us, we would only be delaying the inevitable…" Said Chaos.
