Chapter 395: Pandemonium

"Pandemonium!" The demonic jester Adrian stated.

The world became dark for a split second and it is not just Adrian's general area but the whole world. The volatile energy that the demonic jester Adrian summoned transferred to the gigantic Cube of Paradox.

The Cube of Paradox started pulsating with lightning of different colors. The imperfect chimaera who saw this is reminded of the power that their god could manifest. The power to distort reality to its most fundamental level which is down to the very atoms.

The pulsating Cube of Pandemonium then launched its attack. The attack came in the form of black lightning that tore through reality itself. The imperfect chimera that ran way is struck by this black lightning.

When the black lightning hit the imperfect chimaera, its body suddenly stopped mid-air and the two Greater Faceless Ones that made it up split apart. The two Greater Faceless Ones did not die though but they are damaged to a certain extent.

Cancelling an active skill and a fusion of two different entities is the most complex anti-magic one could ever use. Anti-magic of that scale would need the caster to understand the fundamental physiology of the organism that the magic is cast. The two greater faceless ones just laid there on the ground where the black lightning struck.

Adrian can see what is happening due to him just being possessed again. This time though he could see the reason why he could not control his body during the use of the skill Netheros True Form. He had what it calls itself the fragment of a god.

"Hello! I guess the introductions are long overdue. I am the creator of the Asmodians or was. The only reason that you can see me anyways is the fact that you managed to absorb a shard of my existence." The demonic jester Adrian told the actual Adrian.

"It seems a bit odd that I am talking to myself but go on." Adrian stated.

"Ooh! Pretty cocky for a greenhorn but I will not tolerate misdemeanor even though I am but a fragment of a great god." The voice of the demonic jester Adrian stated in a dark and powerful tone.

"I mean, why do you keep possessing me? I am not really that powerful yet to do whatever you want me to do." Adrian stated.

"Your sharp. I like that about you, but you are also weak. I am not going to bother you after this as I already used up all my remaining will to even talk to you. After this transformation, I will no longer be able to control you." The demonic jester Adrian stated.

"Fine. What do you want me to do? I read about things having wills and they usually want revenge or something." Adrian stated.

"Revenge?! Now that is rich. I have no need for revenge because if I asked you to do that then that will turn this universe against you." The demonic jester Adrian replied.

"So, tell me then, why a fragment of a great god enters my body whenever I release my true form?" Adrian asked.

"From my understanding, I am the last remaining fragment of the great god that is once known as Chaos who is the father of your race. The Asmodians were created from my own likeness but has been remodeled by the God of Creation and God of Destruction. Anyways, you are most likely the one closest to me because of your current species." The demonic jester Adrian stated.

"So, because I am the one closest to you, it means that I am the one that is tasked with whatever world ending scheme that is about to pop up." Adrian stated in a rhetorical voice.

"Not really but I am just going to give you a heads up that the dangers that the dark gods will always creep up on you. They see you as a threat because you are like me. Your very presence makes them uncomfortable." The demonic jester Adrian stated.

"Great. You do not happen to have the power to revert someone back to being a normal demon?" Adrian asked as he does not like to get stressed.

"You think that you, a Netheros, made you a magnet of trouble. The moment you were born as a demon with more Asmodian blood than the others. Your soul attracted me when you first stepped inside the Nether Realm. You became a Netheros because of the fragment inside of you. Your demon core has fully absorbed it now so you cannot change it unless you get wiped out from existence." The demonic jester Adrian stated.

"Basically, the only way to get myself out of this mess would be for me to erase my character. Yep, not happening." Adrian thought as he weighed his options. Either he would create a new character or just stick with it like a champ. He then noticed that the demonic jester that looked like him started fading.

"I guess I have no time left. I will make this quick. The Blind Idiot God has taken notice of this universe. If you find his herald, do everything in your power to stop him or her." The demonic jester Adrian stated as its body faded away from Adrian's subconscious.

[You have died. Even the power from your revival has been used to maintain your form. You will be logged out in one minute.]

The system message made Adrian so shocked that he wanted to hit the fragmented consciousness of the god, Chaos. Adrian then thought of what the identity of this god is. There are a number of gods in Pandemonium, but he has no idea who this Chaos is.

[You will now be logged out of the game.]

Adrian's avatar returned to his normal form and the giant Cube of Paradox disappeared from the sky. Numerous powers then showed up in the scene after what happened. The most notable one is a black dragon that transformed into its human form.

The numerous powers that showed up are countable with two hands but one thing I for certain about them. They have the aura of demigods or as powerful as demigods. They looked at the area where Adrian used to stand as they noticed a bizarre power signature coming from there.

"For the black dragon himself to show up here, it is quite a surprise. You usually do not bother yourself with worldly affairs." A strong looking gnome geared with a Magitech Armor stated.

"I may have no interests in worldly affairs, but this is different. You all have felt that power and even the world itself became dark. Only godly beings could produce enough power to make the world change like that." The black dragon stated.

"Or maybe someone failed in ascending to the status of a demigod. They gathered too much worldly energy that they cannot handle and ultimately exploded thereby affecting the world momentarily." A strong looking Naga stated.

"If that were the case then those two bodies would not have been here." The black dragon stated as he pointed to two bodies of wriggling flesh a few meters away.

The two Greater Faceless Ones is no longer recognizable because of the effect of the Pandemonium spell. The Pandemonium spell is a like its name. The effect would only be pandemonium as those hit by the spell are put in a chaotic state down to the cellular level.

"I recognize these beings. They have managed to infiltrate our tribe but were caught when they practiced odd behaviors that is not of our race." The Naga stated as she projected a clear hostile intent on the bodies.

"It is fascinating though. The way their bodies are in constant state of change is remarkable. Their very cells are exhibiting a chaotic state of change. At this rate, their bodies will disintegrate if it does not stabilize." The gnome stated as he examined the body.

"The only thing that could create that type of effect is being smited by a god." The black dragon stated as he is the most familiar one among them when it comes to gods.

Every demigod there became silent and examined the situation. Gods could no longer exert this much power into the world because of the barrier that other gods sacrificed for made. The only way for the gods to exert this much power is to possess an avatar.

"It is more likely that a god has chosen to possess an avatar. But avatars of gods have long been difficult to point and find. Not everyone could become a suitable host for a god. They need to have a 99% match with both abilities and bodily composition." The black dragon stated as he knew that gods are not given permission to get an avatar in the main world.

"Gods may be able to create an avatar for them in a small world they own but not in the main world. The main world is the nexus for the universe. If they tamper the barrier just a little bit then the dark gods could return." An elf stated.

They all look at each other and came to an agreement to monitor anything strange that is happening in the main world. Some even proposed to get help from the demons.
