Chapter 73: Plans

-----

Chaos was hungry today, he craved delicious food and new monsters to devour and gain Skills from.

He quickly woke up and walked out of the bed, and Erebus quickly woke up and followed after him.

"Papa… Breakfast?" it asked.

"Yes, let's have breakfast together, Erebus." Said Chaos nonchalantly, as Erebus flew over his arms and Chaos carried him like his son through the castle, the adorable scene made many that glanced at this skip a beat.

"Ah~ Lord Chaos and our young lord Erebus looks so adorable together…"

"Such a good father and son…"

"I wish I could be Lord Chaos' son!"

"You're a scarecrow, stop saying weird shit!"

Chaos walked into the dining room with Erebus as he was greeted with food already being prepared by Abyss, the Orcs, and some of the former slaves.

The food seemed to be mostly the meat of monsters from Erebus Dungeon, alongside some vegetables and fruits harvested near the swamp by Dura and her squadron. Dura desired to make Chaos happy, as she loved to see him smile, so she actively went outside to hunt for interesting food as much as she could in her free time.

"My lord! Oh, and little Erebus! Both of you look so good together!" said Abyss, as she hugged both.

"Abyss!" said Erebus, learning Abyss's name from yesterday.

"Uwah~ You're so cute… You already know my name~? Hehe… Now… call me mama!" said Abyss.

"Abyss!" said Erebus.

"Mama? You're not his mother. He has no mother," said Chaos.

"Ah… W-Well, yes… But what about an adoptive one~?" asked Abyss while giving a wink to Chaos.

Chaos was not naïve, he had great perception, even if he lacked experience in dealing with girls or with their "hints" he immediately realized that Abyss meant that she wanted to be addressed as some sort of "mama" by him and Abyss, which meant that she could become his love partner.

"I will think about it…" said Chaos, as he petted Abyss's head and then went to sit and enjoy his meal.

Abyss began to melt over the floor as she received an answer that left things rather ambiguous, but that might mean that she could perhaps have a chance!

Well, only perhaps…

"Hehe… heheh…" she began to laugh a bit as she imagined weird things, Chaos ignored her strange tendencies as everyone here was already very strange to begin with, so it didn't matter. Especially him, he was very strange too, but no one judged him, so he didn't want to judge those that didn't judge him by being so strange, especially because he had self-awareness over his own insanity.

Chaos devoured the preparations with a lot of hunger, the giant grilled steaks of chaos dragons were eaten in seconds, the meatloaf was also devoured with a single bite, he also began to eat some raw meat as well, as he liked the taste combined with that of cooked meat.

After that, he drank a bit more of the ale made from Death Fruit, and then felt like it was enough for now… Only for now.

After that, Chaos called a meeting with his servants, as he wanted to speak some of his plans.

"For now, I've decided to go to the Boundless Abyss Dungeon and complete it. And Devour as many things as I can find there," he said.

"Good idea my lord, I was about to suggest that as well!" said Belphegor.

"Also, after that, I will go to the library and read every book there, I require knowledge about most everything I can get to learn about this world…" said Chaos.

"Oh, interesting. I would have suggested that as well if your priorities were not about getting stronger, my lord. Reading and understanding the nature of the world and everything around us is very important to gain greater insight about ourselves, as well," said Edward, the elf librarian.

"And after that, we'll explore the rest of the island, most likely going into the direction of the coasts, where the Space Pirates that the former slaves group had seen and who had also fallen victim to. I am going to eat them because I have been wondering if they could have more Skills. I am not particularly exerting any type of justice," said Chaos.

Everyone seemed more hyped after hearing this, not because Chaos said that he was doing this selfishly and not due to a sense of justice, but because he was about to showcase his true might to a larger group of people! With this, it could be spread across the entire planet about Chaos' amazing might and the large army of powerful servants he possessed!

"Amazing! That will be a great showcase of your power to the masses, my lord!" said Belphegor.

"I can't wait!" said Abyss.

"Indeed, let's show them what we are made of," said Dura.

"Also, there will be several side projects I want to get started right now, as I do my things, all of you will be occupied with certain tasks," said Chaos.

Everyone then listened to Chaos very attentively.

The first thing he wanted was the beginning of extraction of food and other resources produced in Erebus Dungeon! From monsters to items, riches, whatever they could find.

As of now, they had been just casually hunting monsters on the first floor, but now it was a serious order, so, they will have to begin preparations and constantly grind for items and monsters.

Chaos' second plan was to build a large farm!

Indeed, they wanted to build a large farm on this desolate planet.

But how? It was easy, now that he had the power of the evolved Elder Treant with him, and also the Scarecrows with the Gardening Skill, he will ask his servants to bring all sorts of plants and soil near the swamp (where they grow the most) and plant them here. Water will also be required, but there were some monsters here that could make water out of thin air through magic or skills, so it wasn't much of a concern.

And the last order was… to ask the former slaves who had all sorts of talents to teach his servants how to use Alchemy, Forget, Red Books, Magic, and more while he was busy.

They were not slacking off on his absence at all!
