Chapter 151: Meeting Khaos Once More

-----

After many considerations, Chaos decided to pick the path that most suited his next goals.

After all, if he was going to continue devouring these fragments, he might as well embrace this path…

Abyss was already part of the race of Eldritch Abominations Species of monsters that descend from the Outer Void, so if he had a lover of this race, he might as well slowly turn into them too.

Ding!

[You choose the [Abyssal Eldritch Void Vampire Dragon] Evolution Option!]

FLASH!

The moment Chaos picked this evolution, his entire body was engulfed in a bathe of darkness, shadows, miasma, and blood.

A large cocoon emerged around him, sealing him inside.

His entire body began to degrade and turn monstrous and abyssal, as he started to evolve through a very peculiar method. It made him feel rather overwhelmed…

He resisted the impulse of falling unconscious, but could not, and he ended falling into the darkness of his drams…

"Hm?"

Chaos found himself inside of his mindscape, a place of pure darkness…

However, inside of this place some things were different, way different. There was a lot of new things he could see, such as large ponds of black water, and a forest with a few twenty or so black trees that had eye-shaped berries in their branches.

"Huh, weird…" he thought, walking around, and picking the berries, eating them, and finding them pretty good.

"Oh wow this is actually pretty good." He thought, considering how strange this place was, him eating this was the least strange.

However, as he walked here, he heard the whispers of someone.

"My child…"

Chaos quickly recognized her voice. It was the entity that has contacted him a few other times through his journey, mostly when he slept while evolving and no other time around…

He walked towards her voice and spoke to her.

"It's you again? Khaos?" he asked.

"Oh! Indeed, it is me, dear. I am so glad you can recognize my voice, Chaos." Said Khaos.

"I can recognize you, yes. Why are you contact me now?"

"I have come to give you a gift. I have finally managed to create a gift, here, take this too, and… Oh right, make sure to summon new monsters, a new companion from your previous life could emerge through it," said Khaos.

"Companion of my previous life? I don't have companions in that life…" sighed Chaos.

"Well, after your death, many things happened there… And well, many more began to see you as someone they empathized with. Abyss included… All these children who died awfully, I am trying to give them a better life selfishly because they are related to you… Abyss had brought you a lot of happiness, hasn't she?" asked Khaos sweetly.

"Ah… Well… Yes." Said Chaos.

"See? Or maybe… Am I exceeding above my own boundaries…? But I don't really care… you're my child, and therefore, I want to make you happy too… Just like all your siblings." Said Khaos.

"Siblings… Can I meet them one day?" asked Chaos.

"I am sure that you will. You have to keep growing stronger to one day finally reach the places where they are…" said Khaos.

"I see… I still can't truly see you as a mother, I lack memories with you. But at the very least, I am thankful for what you've done for me." Said Chaos.

"And I am glad for that too… No matter where you are, or what you are… You're my beloved child, and therefore… I want you to be happy…" she said.

Chaos smiled a bit.

"Thank you… I appreciate this." said Chaos, as he slowly faded away.

Khaos sensed as her little connection with her son quickly dissipated.

A strong sense of sorrow filled her tremendous existence.

"Hahh… I hope you can be okay…"

Khaos looked over the horizon of the universe, the gigantic sphere had a horizon, and this sphere was the universe itself, on its entirety.

Wherever she glanced she found countless galaxies accumulated in enormous galaxy clusters, concentrated into such gigantic astral masses that they resembled clouds of stars of countless colors…

"Truly, what a beautiful sight." She thought.

She once lacked all of these emotions that made her special, born from the chaos that the Universe itself generated after its creation, she had lived as a non sentient Primordial Existence for eons.

However, her personality slowly shaped as she grew older through the eons… however, the changing point of her personality and her acquisition of strong sentience and complexity of thoughts and emotions was having children.

She had many… the first ones slowly triggered a change in behavior from her, however, it wasn't until she had the child where Chaos originated from where she gained a complete sentience.

"I wish these little fragments had her memories… So they could see how much I took care of them." She sighed.

She looked over the countless galaxies as she looked at one in particular, a very small one compared to the titanic-sized galaxies that governed large parts of the cosmos, the Nyx Galaxy.

Named after the Primordial Human History Mythology Figure, Nyx, the Goddess of Night, which has many iterations and parallel versions of herself across the many Parallel worlds of the Universe, this Galaxy harbored a young Galaxy Core and an overflowing amount of life.

It was certainly a particularly interesting Galaxy amongst the Dark Shroud, the area where all these dark-colored Galaxies gathered over the Eons.

She looked deeper, finding countless stars and planetary systems all around. Reaching further, her consciousness arrived at the planet of Ginnungagap.

"I can only look…" she sighed. As she divided her consciousness and then looked over the others.

She was mildly powerless, aside from a few little gifts or tricks, she wasn't able to do much other than that… She tried to move, to do something more, but she couldn't.

Strong white chains coated her origin, the more she tried to fight, the stronger their power became. Slowly yet steadily, her energy was being drain away…

"Chaos… I hope that you can find the happiness you deserve…"
