Chapter 216: Surprise!

-----

Chaos glanced into the massive area he found, there was a large humanoid body seemingly turned into stone and covered in countless of runes. He didn't knew what it exactly was, but it was most likely the "god" that everyone spoke in the legends, a divine being that fell from the skies and ended making this giant crater.

However Chaos had never felt this much power before from a "god" like this, so he wondered if this thing was even a god or something else. The divine power it emanated was even of some divine nature, enhancing the entire place with beautiful bright colors everywhere he went to. He wondered what this place was used for, and he thought that most likely for nothing else than harboring this entity.

But how strong was its fall that it made such a gigantic pit? It was truly mesmerizing. Even calculating it himself, Chaos would never make such a massive pit if he were to fall from space into the surface of the planet. So how was this thing so heavy it made such a thing?

Could it be that the divine energy it emanated somehow formed this massive hole and it kept burying this thing deeper and deeper? It was certainly a possibility…

"How is it possible for this thing to form such a deep hole by just falling here? I am mesmerized by the thought alone." Said Chaos.

"I think the same, I don't know what it could be, but it is most likely something big that fell down here, something very big…" said Abyss.

"But then why is it just the same size as us? Its even smaller than Chaos-sama…" said Belphegor.

"And look at it, its humanoid… no way a humanoid thing would be so big to make such a pit, right?" wondered Erebus.

"Yummy!" Rot said, as she ate corpses of monsters left behind.

Well, there seemed to be no point in arguing at this point, the thing was here and it was what it was, the group decided to continue moving forward, as Chaos felt the presence of the fragments being buried there.

"So they're sealed with whatever is this thing, might as well eat everything."

Chaos jumped over the statue-like sealed figure, as he began to expand his entire body into a mass of shadows and darkness with many sharp teeth, beginning to slowly grind through the runes with ease.

CRASH!

The runes began to fall apart as the entity began to be slowly unsealed, but Chaos was about to eat it anyways, so it wouldn't have time to even speak.

"W-Wait! Don't eat me! Please! Agh! No! I don't want to die! Oh my god! Father, please forgive my sins! I am going to die! Please don't eat me!"

Suddenly, everyone heard the voice of a young girl coming from the statue, and they were all left surprised and rather speechless. Chaos felt so bad over her that he stopped eating it away and moved away.

"Y-You can talk?" asked Abyss.

"Who are you? Sorry for trying to eat you, I thought you were like a mummy." Said Chaos.

"But mummies clearly don't talk, right? Ungh…! Agh! Come on…!"

CLASH!

Suddenly, the statue broke into pieces as, thanks to Chaos eating the runes that sealed her in place, the entity within this place was capable of freeing herself and show herself to the outside world in all of is splendorous glory!

"Haaahhh~ It feels good to spread the wings from time to time!" she said, as Chaos and everyone else with him glanced at the figure of a pale-white-skinned girl emerge, with long silvery white hair, sharp yellow-gold eyes, and a youthful and slender figure. She had four beautiful, feathered wings behind her, and she had an angelic beauty…

However, despite this, there was also something wrong with her, the left area of her chest had a large black and purple spike growing from it, and around it there was darkness spreading across her body like some kind of cancerous infection, spreading across her left arm and her wings, turning them deep black with purple-colored runes. This darkness spread into her neck and reached her face a bit, turning her left eye crimson-red and part of her hair black, with a tiny purple and black horn growing in the left side of her forehead…

She emanated both incredible divine power and also abyssal darkness whitin her, Chaos sensed that she had the Fragments of the Forbidden One incrusted into her body somehow, for some reason, and this was causing the infection. However, she was so strong she was asable to be unaffected by their encroaching power, but it was still infecting her body and changing her divine nature. She felt a bit sickly as well, the group quickly realized she wasn't at her full health either…

"Who are you?" asked Chaos once more.

"Ah! S-Sorry for not answering before. I am Aruliel, an Angel!" said the girl.

"Angel?!"

Everyone looked at the girl in surprise, they had truly believed she was some kind of bird girl, but in fact she was an Angel! Wait, do genuine angels actually exist to begin with?

"Angels exist?" asked Chaos curiously.

"Well of course we do! I am here! Thank you for saving me from the seal! Although… This seal as self-inflicted on myself because these fragments were eating me away and I couldn't stop them, so I had to seal myself in here to put them on place! It seems that they somehow… fused with me or something… I feel rather sickly." She sighed.

"So you sealed yourself? And how was it that you couldn't free yourself?" asked Abyss.

"Hahaha… Haahha… W-Well, I got so weak that my own seal was too strong, so I ended sealed and without being able to free myself." Said Aruliel.

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

It appears that this Angel girl was very clumsy!

"How come you seal yourself but then you can't even free yourself afterwards?!" asked Abyss in shock.

"Hehe… I-I don't know…" said Aruliel while averting her gaze.
