Chapter 262: Orphanage

-----

Everything ended rather swiftly. Chaos allies were admirably strong. Well, that was to be expected of such a strong being as Chaos. He wouldn't have weaklings around him! All of his allies were powerful Gods by themselves, and through their combined efforts, the three malicious Gods that were doing all of these things ended dying miserably.

The bug, the imp woman, and the human man ended being crushed to death, and even their souls were fragmented into tiny pieces similar to glass, as Abyss stored them all inside her Dimensional Inventory, saving them for her beloved Chaos to feast on later. She was a devoted lover and wouldn't ever dare eat the soul of a god, as it would easily be better to give it to her beloved Chaos.

Even thought it could bring her some power, she decided to save it for him, who she was very worried about.

Now that things had come to this, the entire village was rescued by Abyss and company, and after things ended well, they quickly brought outside the people once more, while healing the wounded.

Nesephise ended being healed to full and she thanked Abyss and company, as they were handling the people around.

"T-Thank you so much for helping us in such dire times… W-We thought we were going to be enslaved… and I… I… Well…" muttered Nesephise, as she sighed, feeling down. Even though she wasn't assaulted, the horror she felt in that time as Cutthroat was about to do the deed still lingered within her mind, making her shiver.

"Don't worry about it, dear… We are here to help out- Ah, it really feels weird to act so kindly…" sighed Abyss. As a ruthless Shoggoth, she wasn't used to help other people in need without Chaos ordering her to do so. But she knew that even if Chaos was not present, this would be what he would had wanted.

Despite looking like an evil monster to the entire Galaxy, Chaos had grown a strong sense of empathy, even stronger than most people, so he knew about the suffering of others the most, even more as he had lived an entire life of suffering as well in his previous life, the same way Abyss had lived too. The two had connected through such past and had been comforting one another with their honest and innocent love.

Abyss touched her chest as she sighed, thinking about Chaos and how he could be doing, she looked into the sky which was turning dark, the night was already coming and she had spent just a day in this planet, yet it felt like such a long day…

Abyss suddenly remembered the twins, but Erebus had already brought them out of his Internal Dungeon. The twins had fallen asleep inside of Erebus Internal Dungeon though, and were looking at everywhere confusedly, but quickly grew happy to realize that they were finally back home.

"By the way did you lost some twins?" asked Abyss, as she brought the twins with her while holding their tiny hands, Armonia and Ermenia quickly grew restless as they finally saw Nesephise after all the little adventure they had.

"Big sis!"

"Nesephise!"

The two kids rushed towards Nesephise as Nesephise embraced them in a tight hug, kissing their forehead.

"Oh, I am so glad you two are okay… I was so worried! T-To think that you would be brought back to me by our saviors…" she sighed.

"We led them here! They helped out because we asked politely." Said Armonia.

"Yeah! They're nice people, even if they look a bit scary." Said Ermenia.

"I-I see… I can tell! Thank you so much for what you've done… I-I don't know how to- Ah! How about you come to my home? Please!" said Nesephise.

"S-Sure!" said Abyss, as she was led by Nesephise and the twins, alongside the rest of her group.

The entire group was led into a big house made out of wood, it resembled a hut, but it was actually way bigger than all the other houses. When Abyss got inside, they found out there were several other children that were hiding inside from the entire scene outside a few minutes ago.

The children all rushed towards Nesephise, crying fearfully as she calmed them down, they also greeted the twins as if they were their siblings.

"This is my humble home. I constructed it with a lot of effort! I can move it around using the help of my Frog Spirit… But its in here where everyone stays. In the past there were always eggs abandoned around sometimes… So I decided that instead of letting them to live on their own or die, I adopted them into my orphanage." Said Nesephise.

"Amazing, you got a bunch of kids!" said Boxxy.

"They're so cute…" said Yuki.

"So many kids! Well, it is an orphanage." Said Ifrit.

"Don't tell me you got a soft spot for kids now." Said Lilith.

"I see, so you two had a lot of siblings… A big family indeed." Said Edward.

"Oh yeah, now, what do we do?" wondered Belphegor.

"Well, we beat those three idiots, but now that I think about it, we should had asked them who they were and what they were up to…" sighed Natalia.

"Oh right… I guess we did a little oopsie there then." Said Abyss.

"Indeed, we should had asked more…" sighed Erebus.

"Now that we are all relaxing, want something to eat? I am pretty good at cooking, and we caught a lot of fishes this morning. They're still fresh! You can discuss out what you need after having your bellies filled." Said Nesephise.

"Ooh! Food! Food!" the kids began to call for food as if they were all a single legion.

"Errm… Sure! Well, sure, thank you." Said Abyss.

"We would appreciate it, I am hungry." Said Erebus.

"Thanks, I don't really need to eat myself." Said Belphegor.

"I-I can tell! Well, I will go make the food then!" said Nesephise, as she rushed to the kitchen.

The kids of the orphanage all surrounded Abyss group, looking at all their varied shapes and sizes with surprise. Many of them were very different than them, who were all of the Saphibian race…
