SUMMONING!
Indeed, something that Chaos had completely forgotten about!
Or did he?!
Well… to be honest, he never forgot about it, but he had not done it for several reasons, such as lacking enough materials of good quality, or not having the time nor space to relocate even more summoned allies into the Kingdom.
The Summon Artifact was pretty much a way to summon new allies without stopping. He could use this to summon many beings as long as he had materials, bringing forth a lot of powerful allies.
The power of summons was dependent in the materials used and in the rarity they had. But he had already achieved a power that his own father never did, so he had an abundance of divine materials, something his father didn't had either.
So, naturally, he decided to utilize them to summon strong beings and bring forth victory to himself in battle! Or well, more like just new soldiers. He didn't knew if all of them would be useful. But as her recalled it, the majority of all his forces and his strongest allies were all acquired through summoning,
Now, using divine materials, he expected to get new and powerful divine summons, powerful versions of normal summons that already came with divine power within them! Like divine beasts to an extent.
He walked downstairs hurriedly, as he found Abyss and Belphegor in the way.
"You look more devilish than before, my lord, do you plan to do something utterly deplorable today?" asked Belphegor.
"Yes, today, we are summoning." Said Chaos, his face was expressionless, but his two closest allies knew that there was a strong conviction on his crimson-red eyes.
"I can't wait! Let's summon many monsters and let's drown this world- no, the entire galaxy with our might! Chaos, lets not stop until everything is yours…" said Abyss.
"You seem inspired today, Abyss." Said Chaos with a mild smile.
"It's just that… C-Chaos-sama, you look so handsome today!" said Abyss, rubbing herself over Chaos, entangling him, and licking him.
"Is that so? You're also quite stunning today." Said Chaos nonchalky, as the trio reached the underground where a large artifact awaited them!
Chaos opened his inventory and began to pour all sorts of materials inside the artifact, until it was filled.
And then, he decided to select the new [Divine Summon: x10] option that had emerged, it was just as he had thought!
Click.
He touched the system option, as a clicking sound resonated, and then, the divine materials turned into energy, merged together, and formed amazingly new powers in the form of physical beings, ten of them!
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
The entire batch was a whole army of… worms!
"Worms?"
There were Divine Necrotic Worms, Death Stare Worms, Bloodshed Worms, and more… all of them were divine in power, and at least Legendary Grade in the rarity of summons. Their power was certainly commendable, or more than just commendable, amazing!
After seeing such summons, Chaos couldn't help but feel interested in what else he could get. With Abyss and Belphegor's help, he began using all the divine materials he had, summoning 3 more batches of ten divine summons each…
Not only monstrous worms were now present, but there were giant bugs the size of tens of meters, powerful chimeric lions, leopards, and tigers, and also three-headed wolves. There were also a variety of colorful snakes, draconic creatures, and even some fish… and to boot, the last being was the strangest.
This being was summoned alongside an entire batch of reptile-like beings which came out of scales used as materials. The commotion that it brought was similar to Abyss herself when was summoned, surprising the devilish trio as they saw a completely new being surge from nothingness- or well, from these materials of divine nature.
FLASH!
The entire had emerged, as its soul came from a rupture in space-time that even leaked some cosmic essence, the same way Abyss was summoned! Chaos quickly noticed it, as he glanced at the being born from this powerful darkness.
POOF!
Aside from many reptiles walking outside the artifact, the figure of a smaller dragon came out. Yes, it was a rotting dragon that's it, its scales, bones, rotten flesh, all of it was visible over its horrendous face, it had sharp claws, however, and even sharper and deadly jaws!
"Grrr…!"
The creature roared loudly, as if it were wary of Chaos and the other two. The rotting dragon was… a Dragon Zombie of some sort! This creature was small, however, only being around two meters big compared to all the giant monsters that had appeared.
"Huh? A little zombie dragon?" asked Abyss.
"Hmm… It appears to be the case." Said Chaos.
Chaos approached the little zombie dragon, as the zombie dragon looked at him with contempt. It emanated a strong phantasmal energy.
"My… lord!"
It suddenly roared with words right off the bat, jumping over Chaos and licking him with its long and sticky tongue.
Slurp, slurp, slurp…
"Huh? Why is that thing licking you?!" asked Abyss.
"It's expressing its love to our lord, there's nothing bad with some love, Abyss…:" said Belphegor.
"Ugh…I know but still!" sighed Abyss, she was definitely quite jealous! Of a simple rotting dragon…
Chaos felt a strange connection with this dragon as he saw its phantasmal eyes open up to him, he looked at the dragon with contempt, wondering what it wanted with him and why did it jumped over him for no reason at all.
Well, he quickly learned this dragon had a different soul, the moment he touched it, he felt its thoughts and the nature of the soul were from another place altogether, perhaps the same way his own soul and Abyss soul were outside the spectrum here for some reason.
The abyssal soul of this dragon zombie was completely different than the other souls Chaos has seen in summoned beings, often having very weak souls, but this one had a strong and death-filled soul like nothing he had ever seen before!
What was the truth behind this peculiar new friend?
